" faioi \ni> iioaii \ 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 ?

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.

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?

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 Strmi’n by Jirv. IFusA iiiyton Gtaddrn. Khlloiiiil t'nllh 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 | they know, or can prove. They can not 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 societv. 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,” Denver Tribune. The beautiful heart is a million times ol more avail, as securing domestic happiness, than the beautiful in person. I rjßAnii iiia nun.
