From -tho New York Evening Post J AiiK'i-U'aii YY Iiion. About ft tloou years ago n merchant iii rbiliidclpliin wiis culled upon by tin ugent, who tried to tell him wine made in America, but fniled. The idea that viuc of home miinufacturo was lit for n counnUscur was then considered a huge joke, and tlic iner churit iiiul ids friends had a hearty laugh over it. To day, the same gentleman i among the largest purchasers tf native wineTu tliu country. Tliia is a fair example of the change which has been wrought in public opinion in regard to what is already nn important branch of industry by the energy and per severance of a few men. LougworMi's extensive vineyards and those of Kelley's Island are well known, but it is only lately th.it tlui wines produced there have to any 'extent talen a position of rivalry with lleidaiek and Veuve Clicquot. Now, however, the banks of the Ohio und the shores of Luke Krio are covered w ith vines and the sturdy Teuton imagines him self agaii. on the liliine as he gathers his trrnpes for the wine-press. California has recently begun to take rank as a w ine grow ing region, and New Jersey has proved her ability to produce fruit in no way inferior to either ol (lie states named, and not only the lighter wiues, but port, bheiry and claret are manufactured there fully equal to any imported in body, color and bouquet, and what is bcticr t-till, without "medication," At I'usstiic and :,t Vii. ilund. New Jersey, the cultivation of the prapu has attracted considerable attention for Homo years, and at these points, as well as on the mountain slopes and at several points on the Hudson river, tin to tire cxtcnivc vim yards, many of which arc owned by Alfred r.'ptcr, who, from a small beginning, and in fpile of ob stacles of no oroiuary kind, has attained gn at cuei ess as wine-grower. His vine yards near l'.e saic and other places com piize from i'.il'ty lo one hundred acres, on which are raided vines of different varieties -some of them tho most dil'iieu'.t to bring lo maturity. Among them is the iiupoitcd Oporto grape, from wh'uh is made the poit grape wine, which livalsin every quality the original pork As may be supposed the utmost care and unceasing attention were necessary to bring the slips of the Oporto grape to a bi aring point, through nil the vicissitudes ol our climate, but tliey are now healthy and vigorous, ar,d prolific bearers. Mr. rqiccrs mode ol cultivation (tillers Irom that generally adopted, his vines bting trained to a seperiitc tiprmht mpiiorl. and ires and lattice work entirely dispensed itii. iiy this meal's tdmudaiit shade is euied as well as thorough ventilation. The 'rapes, arc allowed to hang until Octo ber, when they become "d( ad ripe." They are hen gathered and put in the wine-press, w hence the jtuee is conveyed in pipes lo vats, where it is allowed to remain until mentation sets in. If it is intended to iminufncliirc red wine, the skins and pulp ire allowed to remain on the "must,'' but. these iire removed it while wine is desired. The juice is soon "racked oil"' in barrels, and stored away m another buddiii!.', the late being marked on each barrel. Alter succts: ive "r:;eki,i to l ive the proper lir.eness," the burrels e.rn removed to an inside cellar, v. 1, cie tl-.c leiiipcrnti.ro. is ai lieie thev remain until the ways the same. wines are from tin to live years old, w hich ts 1 lie uecc-arv aire.

A number of other buildings ad jacent nic ii I so occupied in connection with the liusiucss; one on the lull is called tlic press house," nnd ntioilicr t lie "lank oiise." So successful has the experiment proved tlvu it is safe to predict that in a lew years the banks of the l'assuic and the eastern slope of the niue liidgc will be covered for miles with vim.. Catawba and port mine arc mentioned above as New Jersey wines, but Mr. Speer's mauiilacturo is not confined to these, lor lie lins tliu controlling interest iu lartxo vine yards in California, which were planted by the carry Spaniards, nnd tire now under the supervision of Trench and Ccrman wine growers. Tlic pioducts are known as the l J. California" run I und sherry, nno tbo "P. J. Lit l'arisicnnc," which already ruuli hiyli in this market. In conclusion, it may serve n good pur pose, as an example of w hat energy will accomplish, to notice briefly Sir. Spoor's career. J. drown upon the world when a child, he was nt seventeen years of ago apprenticed to a cabinet maker, who agreed to poartt iiim, tcacli him tho trade, and give him hii clothes until tsventv-one vears of e. Any one who Fcrved nn apprentice ship twenty live years ago knows what that means ten hours in the shop, nnd a rest from labor in the eveninr, which was gen erally enjoyed in HiilUtintr wood, milking cows, nnd by daylight in the morning weed ing "arucn. mill with mak nrr lirea. nm "doing chores." At this neriod of his life. young Speer had nn nmbition to become a literary man, nnd every spare moment was uevoieu 10 sillily, lie devised various expedients to secure funds for tho purchase of books. At the exiiiintion of the oppren- ticctJiip, he resolved to start a shop of his ow n, ol course on a small scale. in his native village of Passaic. A friend leased him a piece of ground, whereon ho built a shop with bis owu hanil.i, nod he got nil the busi ness of tho neighborhood, which was scant enough. Often he lias come to New York, bought the stiitl' for a bureau or sofa, ship ped it by railroad, and returned homo on foot, a distance of twelve miles, not having money to pay his fare, to turn the raw ma terial into furniture, which would produce funds enough to make another trip for still more material to the city. Energy and de termination to succeed soon brought their reward, aud in a few years lie had a larger shop, mid wag able to employ several jour- ueynicu, but notwithstanding his apparent success, he was fctill without capital. To supply this ho was in the habit of making journey? through the country, takir.g a cir cuit of tener riltcen miles, carrviuj with him his tools sn-1 arni.,h pet - Thus aimed he T-nl'1. call Fit the fom house l'puir th furniture, ro-varnish the chairs and tables in "tho best room," and occasionally Bt nd a peculiarly crazy and dearly cherished piece of antique furniture lo his shop to bo "made as good us new." In this way he accumulated enough to buy his shop and the lot on which it stood, and soon afterwards the house and grounds lie now occupies as a dwelling. During this close application to business lie found tirao to employ his inventive faculties, which ho did in devising a piano on an cutiiely new plan, for which ho obtained a patent. lie also invented ami patented a window fastener, now in general use. Want of means (which, in his case, included time as well as money,) impelled him, reluctantly, to partially ubnndon his idea of a literary life, ir.id lie turned his attention to horticul ture and arboriculture, as a means of recre ation, thus proving that Iho busiest men have the most leisuie,) and incidentally to those pursuits, manufactured some elder wine, which ho stored for his own use. Ambitious to enlarge, his establishment, he started out with his window fasteners, intruding to sell the patent right of tho dif ferent Ktates. and invest the proceeds in the ! other invention, or in making and storing wines. When in New Orleans, he found his patent-right, poor stock, and not wishing to leave Louisiana without at least clearing his expenses, he Rent homo for a basket of the wine. This he used as a sample, and took largo orders in New Orleans and Mobile. This unionised for success led him to the conchiL-ion that anything that appealed to the sense of taste, especially bibulous tnstc, would prove more profitable than window fasteners or new blyle pianos, and he at once returned home, and directed his atten tion to IVuit-winc making. From this ihe (ransitioi: to grape culture has been easy. Deginning with a few vines, he studied the pecnliaritcs of the plant, and ascertained ihe best varieties for his purpo ses. What he began as an e.'.pi liuicnt has proved Ihe stepping :.tone to fortune, and lie now has the mod extensive viucyaids and wine-vaults in the eastern Stales, and a lino warehouse and salesroom at " V.i l!ro:id way, in this city. A 4 Jiiii-actci ir-iic N.-riic in Sun I r:i:i iseo. The lively San Francisco correspondent cl ihe Chicago T, . ?: thus describes a cu rious scene in that city, immediately idler tho recent election ; '"Some days before the election, when it was generally conceded that the State would go for lloihaui, but llie cily would give Ihe Democratic ticket a small majority, Mr. Wiggins, a warm friend of .Mr. liorbain, ban tered Michael llayc, an cjually warm fiiend of Mr. II, light, for a bet in any shape on the result, llaycs fought shy, but finally saiil. '1 will bet you one hundred dollars that I will propose a bet you will not ac cept.' The bet was taken, and Hayes pi o poseil to carry n ham). organ through Mont gomery street by daylight, playing before all llie bunks and houl.-, and solicit contri butions for the orphans, the proceeds to be cipcilly divided between the 1'rolcstaiit and t'alholii: asvlums, if llaight did not. carry the eity by one thousand live hundred UIU- jorilv, and if he did carry it by thai Hum- j her iiiggins w is to do the sumo thing. The bet was made and lliggins lost. Now iniirU the result. Any w hero outside of Cal ilornia the terms of tho wager would have been carried out, attracting a big ciowd aud crL'atiug much talk for a few days, but there u wuuiii nave cniien. iiere, However, me people took the .joke to heart and called ou ull the candidates, elected and defeuted, to walk side bv side in the procession, and as sist in the collection of the funds, und to their credit be it said, most of them Gor ham did not come up to the mark, however accepted the challenge und turned out. At 10 a. :i. yesterday, J rode through Mont gomery btreet, aud found it packed fiom end to end, with men, women and children, while every window was lull ami every roof und balcony was black with heads. At 11 a. M. the college turned into Montgomery street, and til'ly policemen, on horseback aud on fool, commenced strugglin;; with the heavy mass of humanity to clear the way lot the passage southward. Eiibtcamo a lull brass band playing, 'When Johnny comes marching home,' 'llatllu Cry of Free dom,' '.Marching through Georgia.' etc., etc. Then two collectors with huge buckskin bugs to receive the silver and gold which wus rained down from roof, balcony and window, in showers, as the procession ad vanced. Then came Michael Hayes, the winner of the wager, carrying a li.igu tin box, capable of holding thousands of Uol- lurs, which he cpi cased a determination lo lill before night. Next followed Win. T. lliggins, who was Hanked on cither side by two fiientl.s, one carrying a monkey und the other a splendid lloral ornament. Next ap peared the two Iren.urcrs for the occasion, iilesuis. My lea 1). bweeuey ami J. Ji. Uailger, seated in a coach, from which each held suspended a canvas bag us large ns a flour sack, labelled 'lleuietuber the Orphan:;.' After them followed several of the elected aod defeated candidates, and a host of peo ple.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com mercial Writes an interesting account of a recent trip over the route of llooth's flight after tho nssassiuation, nnd a visit to the scene of his death. Wo extract from it tho following : I thought, on that spot, and nt that time, how forsaken of home and Cod Ilooth must have lelt, limping up on his crutch, clinging to his carbine, full of his deadly secret, yet with tlic fustian claim that, he deserved thu last crust of tho South for the revenge he had achieved for them. There is no place for contemplation like a theatre when the audience is gone. This ga'o Wilkes Booth, as I did, p.isped In, limping. When ho went out ngain his feet were sore no more. A dog barked as I went down the lane, through a second gate, nnd turning up to ward the locust grove and dwelling, steps came down the porch. I climbed the wooll en steps nnd r.sked the old man if I could buy some supper. lie said that he did uot keep a hotel, but that it did not become him to dismiss peo ple hungry on the road. Come in and share, i went through the same poital, my horse to tho silo of the same barn tho assas sin made memorable. A table wa3 already spread, nnd 1 sat down to a Virginia sup per. I knew nil the people around nic. The son, w ho had crept into tho barn, and demanded tho surrender of the fugitives, sat nt my side, a (piiel, countrylied lad. The sisters, who hud sponged Kooth's mouth when he w as dy ing, and heard alone, of till women, his last words, were passing in and out with relays of warm bread. The old man, who had been stricken dumb by a pistol presented at Ids head, ere ho was well awake, was whceily munching at the food. Here were the same prints on the wall, and among them an illustrated paper's depiction of the shooting of Ilooth in the barn. It gave me an opportunity to say : "Times arc les3 troublous, aud guests, I hope, of a surer character." 'We can't say the last, altogether, sir. There's been so many summons to go to court, and so many inquiries about us, that we don't feel quite secure yet. In fact, we got a bad visitor once, and the ghost of him don't seem to quit us. ur barn was n good one, and we felt the loss of it. Nobody ever paid us for it. The olHecrs tore up our bed linen, nnd got one of our horses. Wu never received a cent iu pay. For a good while, people roamed around our house without permission. They did say w e were a narlv of the assassination for awhile. It was iust an accident, as 1 may say, that sad d!cd" us with P.ooth. Why, bless you, he was desperate enough to compel us to give him 1'Cil unit I. ioiI. Further, I gleaned them impressions of the html hours nl Ilooth s llie lie was in a sort of a wild state niter he entered the i house.

He wis feverish and drank much water, looked well to the road, and kept his carbine close to him. Some of the family suspected him of beina one of the conspirators, but had little idea that he was the head of the trag edy. Once or twice Ids manner ihanged I from the conversational to the threatening, and ho succeeded in keeping the whole j 'Household toleiably well ularmed. The j younger folks believed him merely a dis j charged soldier, wounded aud flighty. Once he said: "Men are all selfish, .ortli and South. You might as well die for a j nation of Yankees as of Yirgiuians." Another timo he cried, out of silence : "Good God, to bo dying, and going away ! from homo all the lime !" He asked ques tions with regard to the murder of Mr. Lin coln, and said that he was the worst tyrant that ever lived. His pain of body wus tho chief theme he had. All were kind to him, but when Harold came back they conferred together und resolved to hide iu tho baru, to iho relief of all in the house. JJooth had not slept a wink when the place was Burrouuded. Although it was then near morning, ho hud been heard groaning nud grumbling in the straw all night, so much so thnt it was said in the house he was as great a nuisance as a liowl ing dog. After he was shot his hour or two ol Ido was a pitiable paralysis, lie could neither say nor motion anything eloquent. His face got to be cxpressivclcss of any soit of intelligence; and, though once very hand some, it looked almost like u negro's when he died. The sentiment of tho Garrett house is of pity for his personal sufferings, without re gard to the question of his deserts. One of the women said to me: "If he had been Judas, and talked so about his home, 1 would have pitied him." I went out ill tho night and stood by the sito of the old barn. They Have bum a second shelter for their hogs and teams, but here the ground is bare and blackened yet. It is a scorched place. After thu lire went out, aud incendiaries and assassins were all gone, the old folks grumbled much at the loss of the structure, lor it was a good barn, though an old one. Then one of the detec tives came back and found iu the ashes some relics of liooth ; the neighbors came in and got a unit or a bolt apiece, us a relic. I could not Ihnl one charred ember to carry away ; only the ground is burut dry, as if with lightning. Hero I could hear tho mules nuineji iu thoir ntulls near bv. All the cries of tho night came from tho woods. A dog und u negro followed me out from the house, tue latter to get my horse. "Did you ever sco llooth's ghost, Tom ? "No, Btih !

Tho story wo propose to tell is of the ludicrous order. It relates to the cscnpo of a baboon, the. king of a happy family on exhibition in New Orleans. With all his patriarehial airs, this indivi dual had always nursed n secret desire to withdraw from tho society of which tho visitois considers him the most interesting ornament, and not many months ago he sei.ed upon a favorable opportunity and put uis design into practice, tie leaped to the roof of the lofty building which contains thu museum, and after inhalimr tho breath of freedom und scratching himself with a icuim;; ui iiuiepeiuiencc .iiltogether unwon ted, he began to look round for tin nsvluiu Horn the pursuers who his iustincl told him wouhl suon be on his track llo bounded from roof to roof with the ngilitv of a moun tain goat ; but the gulf across to the opposite block w as loo bioad even for his tremendous powers, and after making a tour of the whole Bquarc, and linding himself isolated, ns it were, ho quietly ensconaed himself in a dor mer window, w hich happened to be open. The keeper and his myrmidons searched vainly after the fugitive for several hours. They scoured the adjacent houses without linding a trace of the missing biped, until at last they stumbled upon him accidentally ns ho was enjoy ing n gentle slumber on the window sill. The sound of their footsteps roused him before they had time to lay hands on him lie sprang into tho garret und plunged madly down tiic steps. A large skylight on the highest floor for the use of the lower stories met the monkey's eye. He was not awnro of the brittle quality of the glass and the fragile nature of the wood work. As it shone in t'lc midday sun'it da..led his unaccustomed eyes, aud he was lost in admiration ol us brilliancy until the noise of his keepers aroused him to a sense of his situation. We must pause hero to give some account of the basement story and its occupants. This lloor was used as a tailor shop, the pre siding genius of which was a sturdy little German, well to do iniho world, with several journeymen and a comely flow, who carries a log baby nt the breast. Schneider wa.i silling cross-legged on his counter, sewing steadily, and iu his stocking feet; his work men were ranged on cither side, as busy as liunselt, ami the w He ol his bosom va3 rock ing the cradle and quieting her baby to sleep j with a Teutonic lullaby. At this very interesting moment tho mon key made a prodigious spring to tho very center of the skylight. The frail fabric gave way like a spider's web under the shock, and with a clatter equal to (he breaking of a thousand empty wine bottles, down came the fugitive right upon tlic bald head of Schneider. The shock paralyzed them both for a moment. Not so with tho frow and the journeymen. They looked upon the unexpected visitor with the same terror and amazement w hich must have animated those who saw Mulchei' when he was thrown by angry Jove sheer o'er the crystal battlements aud dropped from the zenith like a fulling star. Pale with affright, and concluding it surely wus the devil, come to claim the un fortunate tailor, they rushed frantically into the street, shoutiug nud screaming at the top of their lungs. Which of the two the man or the mon key was worse scared can never be decided. As sooti as they recovered their senses, each broke in an opposite directionthe tailor for the street, the monkey toward the rear premises. A crowd of sympathizing shopkeepers soon gatheicd around the startled tailor and his stall", nud several policemen, attracted by the row, nlso appeared upon the sceue. The incoherent version of the devil's appearance from the skies w ith his forked tail aud his hideous lineaments was listened to with incredulity; but at length one of the keepers came up and explained the mystery. Every body uow went quietly to his or her avoca tion, and Schneider resumed his seat ou the counter. JlusiMUXT to Mil. Lincoln. A contract was just closed w ith Mr. Fhimiery, recently, by which he agrees to erect a monument to be built of w hile warble, aud to have a total height of 3G feet, including a statue of Mr. Lincoln eight feet high, made of Italian marble, the monument to bo enclosed by a suitable tailing; the monument complete, according t i design, to be ready for dedica tion on the llih of April, ISCS, for the sum of 7.000.

WUy is It thai l'otatocri YicM Iah than l'viiaei 1 y y .t correspondent of a late number of your paper, wishes to bo told why tho y ield of potatoes is less than formerly. Tho reason is not dillicult of discovery. It exists as a law of nature, embracing animal as well ns vegetable organisms. These all have exore tory as well us secretory functions. All throw offcH'ctc mutter, and this elleto matter is hateful to tho secretory vessels on which vcetublcs depend lor their development. If many crops iu succession, of tho same vegc- 1 tables ure grown, the ell'eto mailer increases ill proportion in iuu nun uiye, unit iiuuiiy overcomes ull efforts at successful cultivation. The food decreases and thu poison increases with every crop. It manure, general or spe cial, is added lo tho soil, it increases tho lood, but not uccessunly ilimnu.slit's thu poisouotis clleto matter. Ouo hundred years ago potatoes were but little cultivated, and most grounds wcro left freh for their pro duction, Tlicn and long afterwards four hundred bushela was not an extraordinary yield. Now the increased tssto for its use, .and tho great augmentation of our people, in number and ability to purchase, havo made it necessary that gteut breadths of land should bo used for its growth. In conso quenco of this.much of the land has becomo weakened to a degree that iuvilcs destruc tive enemies to feed on its substance to tako advantage of its weakened organization.

Cor. in Country O'lntlfmita, Null ii ml lolil Water for Swine, We do not know tho source of the follow ing remarks upon the subject which leads this piece, but w e regard the information it contains us valuable, both ns it regards tlic ii'liuiiiiattiing of salt to fattening sw ine, nud tho providing of pure water for thcin, not merely iu hot weather, but at all seasons. It is not a common practice, we think, to give salt to swine occasionally, whilo every farmer would consider it a prime duly to offer it to his neat stock, horses and sheep, as often as onco a week. To be sure the swine get a little compared w ith the amount given to oilier animals. In proportion to their weight, why do they not need asinuch salt as the other stcck on the farm ? We find an article going the rounds of the papers upon the use ut Niltj'vrJ'titlaiinff win. Tho writer states that he "selected two pairs of barrow hogs weighing MOO each. One pair received, with their daily allowance of food, two ounces of salt; the oilier, similarly fed, none. In the course of a week it was easily seen that the salted pair had a much stronger appetite than the others, and after a fort night it was increased lo two ounces apiece. After four months the weight of the salted hogs was lioO pound", while that of the un salted, live weeks later, reached only DUO pounds. Tho experiment was repeated with almost precisely thu sumo results." If such should prove to be the general result, most fariueis have not gained all the good advantages they might have done from the food fed out. From Iho example cited there hs no indication that the s;lt excited a 'morbid appetite, and produced unnatural llesh and fat. Of course a sound judgment must be exercised iu the use of salt, as well ns of grain or any other lood. Another neglect of sw ine and sometimes it must bo a cruel one- is that of not giving them a liitijii tvpjdif nf jar, cold miter. Why it is supposed that the hog should not need water as well us the cow aud sheep, is morn than we can le'.l. They do require it. When water is not given them, although fed with swi'd, thev will drink heartily of the water collected in the yard or barn-cellar after visiting their trough several times, and lind ing it empty and dry. Nothing is more grateful to them iu a hot. day thau a bucket of cold water, drank from a clean, sweet trough. Wo trust that farmers will give nt tuition to the matter, and ascertain for them selves whether our suggestious are valuable or not. lc'-llou'w. Ice houes have become a necessity, not merely with the man of wealth, but to every farmer, ns well a business man who owns the premises he occupies.' Tho cost of con struelion, when built, of wood nnd above ground, or w hen built under tho ground where the situation is suitable, is compara tively trilling. There is scarcely a neighbor hood whero ice cannot bo obtained, and in most neighborhoods can be Imd for the hnu! ing. There are thousands of farmers having running water upon their premises, who could dam the strcicjii properly and make llieir own ice. This can be done with little expense, A pond one hundred feet in diame ter wouhl furnish ice for the largest house. It should not be over two feet in depth, but kept lice Irom all nuisances aud protected against disturbance by cattle. One frit-zing over of live inches of ice, will give you five and thirty two-horse loads, which is as much us is generally required. Some time ago perhaps a couple ol years we printed directions for making a good and cheap frame ice house ftbove ground, furnished by a gentleman w ho had built one for himself after the plan, and found it to answer most satisfactorily. We have recent ly seen statements made by several writers in the agricultural press, of their success with frame houses. )ne of these states that ho prefers a wooden house above ground, with twelve. inches between timbers and the spaces filled with pulverized charcoal or tho cinders from railroad engines. There is no particular mode iii building these reposito ries. They can be made satisfactory in many ways ; still we think the above-ground sys tern is the best till that is needed being plenty of ventilation. lltrmnntmcii 1L. IjLAM'iiino Cei.kuy. We copy the fol lowing from the London Ciirdaier'a Ciroiii ch, that our readers inny give it a trial dur iug the present autumn : Having had some trouble iu keeping late celery Irom rotting iu n new kitchen gar den, where the soii was very retentive und damp, and the plants earthed up in the usual manner, I have since used saw dust for the purpose, and find that it answers perlectly. Last w inter, all the late celery was earthed up with sawdust, und it kept quite sound lill A pril, and no e'ugs or insects attacked it under ground, tho heads being very solid, clear and ciisp, and well llavoicd. I had sonic doubts that tho saw dust from resinous trees might give tho celery a disagreeable llavor. but on trial I found this not to be tho case, and the sawdust is now taken indiscii minately from the saw-pits where ilillerent kinds of trees ure sawn up. Uufore the severe frost occurred in October last, the earthing up of some late celery with sawdust had just been finished, ami it was found in spring wonderfully liesh tho frost not having penetrated through the surface to tlic heatl." iti.i ii'i:, .vc.
