\ lion I I i*l i for ii In Wines,
It has Wen known some years that
there ha* been a large consumption of
(lalifornia wines in this country. From
x 000,000 to 10,000,000 gallons enter into
our home consumption annually. Yet
it is very certain that no such amount is
consumed under the name of (California
wine. What, then, becomes of this
great quantity? The writer recently
had occasion to converse with a repre
sentative of a well known California
wine company, and in answer to inqnries,
fie was informed that there were large
orders for California hock to be put into
bottles labeled “ German hock.” The
California hock is a pure wine with a
bouquet, but with much more spirit
than the imported hock. Avery large
prop irtion of the so-called Rhine wines
and hock wines in our market arc really
California wines in bottlcH bearing labels
which would seem to indicate that, it
came from the other side of the ocean.
There is also some demand fur red wines
to he sold as sherries and ports.
“Why,” said the writer to thisexpert,
“do you not sell your California wines
under names that are distinctive ? Why
call them ]>ortK and sherries when it iH
obvious that a superior California wine
will not give satisfaction, if sold as the
imitation of an interior European wine/'’
“ It is very true,” said the dealer, “that
this calling of California wines after
European names injuries iiermanently
the sale of the home product. We have
many sherries, so-called, which are much
su|>erior to the poorer classes of sherries
that are imported ; yet they do not sell
as well Iwcausc they are called sherries.
The interest on money is so high in '
California that growers and dealers are
compelled to part with their wines too
soon. '1 hey cannot keep them instock,
as the interest would eat up the profits,
ltut the time cannot be distant when it
will la- found that our California wines
will ha equal to any in the world. Of
late years there is coming into bearing
all over the state the choicest represent
ative ot the best grapes in Europe. East
of the Rocky Mountains the foreign
grajio docs not thrive. Rut on the l*a
cific coast the most delicate foreign
grapes are easily acclimated, ami the
consequence is that there are already
coining into hearing all over the state
the very choicest representatives of the
grape* of the old world.
" How about California champagne ’”
"There are some varieties now c< .ning
into the market which are pronounced
!>v connoisseurs equal to any that we ini
port. There is what i* known as the
‘ Eclipse,’ an extra dry, the ‘Private
Corvee,'a medium dry, rich and with a
fine bouquet, and the ‘ Muscatille,' which
is very fruity and heavy. Ilamim A Cos.
arc the agents of these line wines.”
"What with regard to the other so
called California wines and American
champagnes?’ “Well, the objection to
the ordinary American champagne is
that it i- an artificial one. It is usually
made Irotn the Catawba gra|>o and
charged with carbonate acid gas. Wines
made in this way have not the bouquet,
nor are they as clear nor as healthful as
the lies! champagnes. Alum is put into
them to make them clear, and no first
class grocery would dare to sell the
mxmttactured champagne, however good
t might taste or look, on account of its
unwholes imeness. . The California cham
pagne.-, also, which have heretofore boon
brought into this market, were made
from inferior grii|>C!. ami roprc-i-ntcil the
first attempt* at champagne making.
But, it is believed bv all in the tratie
that California champagnes will event
ually enm|>ete successfully with the
choicest varieties of European chain*
pagnn*. S>me of the l>est wine makers
in Europe have Ix-on employe*! for some
time in California to pr.siuee the best
results in making champagnes. Vl
reatlv the competent of California in still
wines is seriously affecting the foreign
importation, especially those which
reprevnt the ordinary Rhine, hock and
sherrv ot the old world. One leading
wine company sold 12.000 eases last vear
of a choice California champagne, and
the trade is growing rapidly.”
TfiittfUMH* A|trivttllur'
In his recent speech in New York Gov.
Porter said " Tennessee, although uot
as old as New Jersev, has bought no
inconsiderable wealth into the union.
Her latitude and iter elevation enable
her to produce everything which is
grewn from Mississippi to Canada. This
year she has raised 200,000 bales of cot
ton, 50.000,000 bushels ot corn. 10.000,-
OtXl bushels of wheat, and 25,000.000
jKiunds of tobacco.”
To say nothing of the W named
staple. nor of others grown in the -tale,
let us consider for a moment the ini
portent crops of cotton, corn and w heat.
Allowing cotton to average 500 |x>und
to the hale, and to be worth ten c< nt- a
pound, the value of this product is ten
million dollars.
C-otn is likely to Ik* worth at least
forty cents a bushel, to be converted into
fat hogs, eattle and sheep; ai which price
the crop soon to lie harvested is worth
twenty million dollars. Wheat is worth
a dollar a bushel, Jand may bring more
before the next harvest. From three
staples we get forty million dollars. A
bale of cotton (500 pounds) that may
grow on an acre, il burnt in a plantation
pot, will leave only five pounds of ash.
This ash represents the earthy part of
lint, so that 405 parts in 500 of this
staple arc common air with its vapor,
which should cost the producer nothing.
If he burns 2,000 pounds of cotton that
may prow on another acre, in a similar
way, he will have left some thirty pounds
of ash. Two thousand pounds of wheat
burnt in the same way will give about
forty-five tsmnds of ash. The compo
sition of these products of the soil may
be proved by synthesis as well as by
analysis These facts being undenied
and undeniable, it follows that cotton,
corn and wheat, as put nfxn the markets
of the world, are substantially organized
air. This organization can only take
place in obedience to chemical and vital
laws. If the farmer is ignorant of these
laws, much of his Islior will Ist wasted
and worse than wasted. All plants and
animals rotting on the surface of the
earth fill the atmosphere with plant
food,which is very cheap manure. How
shall a farmer use it to the best ad
vantage.'
This question can only he answered
by searching and truthful experiments
in agriculture. Tennessee, with all her
agricultural enterprise, has no agri
cultural station to show what is
practicable and what impractiable, in
our several soils and climates. The
natural fertility of these soils is im
paired; and, - trange to say, our industrial
motion is backward In.-t ad of forward.
Will not (iov. Porter and others in
places of influence, lend a helping hand
tc reverse all that is harmful in this
great industry, that cotton, corn, wheat
and tobacco may be raised with half the
labor now expended, and with a con
stantly growing fruill u I ness of the land
under the plow ?

I’Ll tt j ll you what it ia. I’ll ho evor-
Imlintfly oonfi*ticitt(*cl if I’ll stay on thin
ol<l, dull, droary, monotonous farm a Jay
Joiipr than i’m obliged to! What’s
tin uho of drudgin’ a body’a life away
)<*ht for the sake o’ common kind o’
clothes, and board! Here I am neven
teen years old next June, and don’tjknow
much more than a calf of seventeen
months ought to, and how am I over
goin’ to know anything at this rate? I
work all the time, except goin’ to school
one term in the winter, anti am kept at
home every time there's any work that
father would have to do if I didn’t. I
con hi stand it hotter if I had something
good to rent! evenings, hut father takes
only one paper, and I read that all
through in two hours, and then I’m with
out ng.iin. 1 borrowed a book the other
.lay, a lively one, full of fight and in
dians, hut father said he wouldn’t have
such trash a hunt the house, to fill my
head with murder and nonsense; hut
why and m’t he git something else then?
I’m tired of bearin’ nothin’ hut growlin’
I alwuit taxes and hard times, all these
I long winter evenin’s, and I want to feel
as though there was some use o’ livin
and workin’. Father, and Mr. Brown,
and Smith, and Green, all say that farm
ers do all the work, and rich folks livin'
in town* and cities take all the pay, and
make all the money, and oppress ’em and
crush ’em down, and make ’em pay out
everything they can earn in taxes, and
then look down on the v< ry men that’s
feed in' the whole kitof ’em, and they all
want their hoys to stay tin the farm and
bo farmers! I’ll be hanged if 111 do it.
1 get so mad sometimes when 1 think
that if its as they sav, that's what fa
ther’s koepiif me in ignorance to earn
money lor, and I’ve a notion to eat tur
key enough to kill myself. Why do
' they keep us out o’ school and client i' B
■ out o' the education that the government
' gives hack to us, and make us earn
! money to suppirl these idlers that they
talk about, instead of lot tin’ us have our
time and schoolin' so that w< can be
somethin’ else beside* the beast* that
hear the burden*, as they sav we do?
Another tiling that I don’t understand
| is this grumblin’ and complainin’ about
j the men in office. Who put 'em there?
| Ain’t there just as many farmers as any
\ body else? And don’t a farmer's vote
| or a hod-carrier's count as much as a
millionaire's? And ain’t there more
I tanner* than there is miUionair's'.’ If
: the lower ten thousand wants to be shift
less enough to lie governed liy the upper
| ten, alter the government has put the
powtrin the hands of ttie majority, it’s
good enough for 'em, hut Iwr my part I
don’t propose to lx' one ot the lower ten
I thousand.
II every fanner would educate his
children instead of keepin' ’em to work
to support other folks, and take plenty
of good agricultural paper* so that they
could learn to work intelligently, ami
other pa(>ers and mag trines -o that they
c mid learn to vote intelligently, it would
soon Is- the upper ten thousand and the
lower ten.
When such things comes to |<a.*s boys
w-oft want to leave the farm, but as
long a* we are told by folks that are
older and ought to know, that farmin’
don’t pay, that it's all work and no play
(expeiiruce has taught us that) and

farmer, and when even the nicest fruits

The disciple were called Christians in
Antioch. Why ? Even if were a jest,
there was a reason underlying it. Per
haps there were two reasons.
In the first place, they had much to
say about Christ. He was in all their
thoughts, and out of the abundance of
their hearts their mouths would speak.
And because the people of Antioqh heard
the word so often upon their lips they
framed it into an epithet by which they
called them. Home of us are hearing
this sacred name to-day. Is this the
reason ?
The other explanation of the name is
found, no doubt, in the fact that the dis
ciples imitated Christ in their conduct.
They not only talked about Him, they
not only said they were trusting in Him
for salvation—they tried to act like Him.
Their study always was to live so that
He should approve of their lives. And
that is the main idea that the name con
veys. To be a Christian, if the word
means anything, is to be like Christ—to
live as He lived, to work as He worked,
to suffer aH He suffered. It is not to be
perfect as He was in any these respects,
but to be like Jhim in all of them. In
order that we may be worthy to l>ear his
name, there must he a resemblance to
Him in our characters so plain tiiat
others shall recognize it and take knowl
edge of us that we have been with
Jesus.
Brethren, this name by which we are
called is one of great significance. God
grant us all grace that we may wear it
worthily, that we may never by our
levity or our worldliness, or our prayer
lessness or our uncharity, bring it into ]
dishonor.
Do I speak to anyone who lias shrunk, i
hitherto, from assuming this name from a |
vague notion that it would b- somehow!
beneath him to bear it? Such a notion |
ought not to find a lurking-place*.in any
mind. When a man is called a Christian
the very highest praise lias been spoken.
That worn is the endjof encomiums. If
it can be written on your tombstone that
you were a Christian, you will need no
other epitaph. When you say that a
man is u Christian, it is involved in what
you may say that he is courteous, refined,
manly, dignified, brave, gentle, kind,
noble—that everything that makes char
acter strongnud pure and sweet is illus
trated in his life. What is that glass
which one of the firstjChristian gentlemen
holds upjto us in which to see our charac
ters:
“ Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good re
port, if there be any virture and if there
lie any praise, think on these things. ”
It means all that to be a,t'hri-tian.
Is there another word that means more ?
You say that von know many Chris-
tians who come tar short of this. Cer
tainly .that is because they lall below
the Christian standard—the mark of the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ
■Testis.
It is the highest calling- God help us
to be wise enough to choose it It is the
noblest name. God help us all to be
good enough to ltear it.— From u rrernt

The inconsistency of those who assert
that faith is entirely irrational, and who
claims that those only are truly reason-
I able who rely on a sense-evidence and
j the deduction* of pure reason, is proved
I by the fact that they, in common with
, all other men, are as dtqx'iidont U|H>n the
I aith faculty ss they are upon reason
| itself, or rather upon their other rational
I faculties. They believe tar more than

I advance a single step without faith.
1 Even the “primary truths,” or "first
principles," or " self evident maxims”
and intuition-,” which are supposed to
belong exclusively to the domain of
1 reason, may Is- said to depend as truly
on faith a* on reason ‘or their acceptance.
\nd in the practical affair- of life the
: most redoubtable champion of “ pure
reason ” is compelled to believe innumer
able things which he does not know and
cannot understand. He acts upon taith
alone in the most important concerns iu
lite. He proceeds in his business plans,
in his plowing and sowing, hi* buying
and se’ling. with no other foundation for
his conduct than his faith in the regular
return ot the seasons, and in the vciacity
of his fellow-men. Without faith, all
the operations which sustain life would
be suspended. The farmer would not
plant, or reap : the merchant would not
buy. or sell. There would be universal
distrust- n it only of the uniformity ot
the phenomena of external nature, but
of the integrity of men. which would
produce universal want and anarchy, the
total disintegration and destruction ot j

A DEAD SHOT.
Oregon Hill's Murk mansliip Shootlii*
l*ij<- from a Man's Moutli.
William Spencer, alias Oregon Bill,
is in many respects a remarkable man.
His birthplace is Port Natal, South
Afiica, and he has hardly yet reached
forty. He was at sea for years, and
during the time distinguished himself
for his bravery in two engagements with
pirates on the coast of Africa. He par
ticipated with credit to himself in the
last war with Russia, an 1 was present at
the (all of Baiaklava. From 1860 to
18(J5 he was an Indian fighter on tlie
frontiers of Kansas and Texas, and in an
engagement with the red man on an
occasion in which the whites were vic
torious, after a bloody hand-to-hand
fight, he is said to have killed seven
warriors with his pistol and bowie-knife.
In Portland, Oregon, he had a friend,
John (J’Madigan, now of this city.
While O’.Madigan was walking along
the streets smoking his pipe, and at a
distance of ten feet, and at about a right
angle, Bill suddenly drew his pistol’and
fired, the ball taking the pipe from the
mouth of his friend, but doing him no
harm. Again, last fall, Bill was in Lake
City with his deer for sale, and -eeing his
old friend, O’Madigan, passing up the
opposite side, he called to him to stop.
When lie had drawn his revolver, John
did so, facing him at the time. Bill
fired, and the ball passed through the
top of the hat ofhisfriend. O’Madigan,
in the best of humor, called out; “Bill,
don’t shoot any more; it hi too close,”

and bought me one bottle of Vxgetine, and. after I
bad lined one bottle, the pains left me. and it began
to heal, and then I bought one other bottle, and so
I take it ye. i thank Rod tor this remedy and your

derful etrengtheningjand curative properties seemed
to affect m> debilitated system from the first dose ;
and, under its persistent use, I rapidly recovered,
gaining more than usual health and good feeling.
Since then I have not hesitated to give Veueti.ne my
most unqualified indorsement, as being a safe, sure
and powerful agent in promoting health and restor
ing the v> asted system to new life and energy. Veq
eunk is the only medicine I use; and, as long as I
live, 1 never expect to find • better.
