Results of Grafting American Vines With Those Growing on French Soil The very extensive grafting of American grape vines in various districts of France where the native vines, from various causes, were dying out, has met with considerable success. In some cases fine vineyards have by this means been rescued from destruction. Among the instances quoted is that of a fine vineyard near Montpelier, were vines grafted three or four years ago are now reported full of strength and loaded with fruit. The species of vine that rescued the vineyard was one well known for its natural resistance to the destructiveness of phylloxera. A recent publication on the subject says: In a report to the Minister of Agriculture by Mr. Heurn Mares, President of the Commission for the Department of Herault, and director of the experimental grounds of Las Sorres, one of the greatest extollers of insecticide substances, we find the following remarkable passage, which we are happy to place before the eyes of the non-believers of the American vine: "In the present state of the question on phylloxera," says the eminent vine grower of the Herault, "no known means appear capable of economically destroying the phylloxera, or preventing its spreading, except the use of vines naturally protected from the phylloxera, growing vigorously in all soils, and susceptible of being grafted with the admirable kinds of our French vineyards." WITH TONS OF GOLD. New York Sun. Trucks loaded with well-dressed men rolled up West street at intervals yesterday morning, and disappeared on the covered pier of the Cunard steamship company at the foot of Clarkson street. Besides the men, the trucks carried small kegs and ironbound boxes, which were unloaded on the pier alongside of the steamship Servia, which sailed in the afternoon. The men carefully carried the kegs and boxes to the after part of the vessel, where they were locked in an iron chamber. The kegs and boxes held $2,150,000 worth of gold, which was going to Europe. On the steamship Baltic $2,350,-000 in gold was shipping. The gold was in the form of bars and double eagles, and was the largest amount shipped on a single day for several years. The double eagles were delivered in canvas bags, each holding $5,000. The bars, which are worth anywhere between $4,000 and $5,000 each, were packed in sawdust in wooden boxes. The little kegs and ironbound boxes stored in the "treasure room" on the Servia were forty all told, and were counted by the purser and all the officers before the large iron door was closed and locked. The purser has the money in his especial care. The storing of so much wealth in the Servia created no particular stir. "It is not unusual for us to receive on board large amounts of gold," said a clerk at the wharf. "We carry more or less on every trip." What precautions are taken against robbery? There are still many hale men in the country who can remember the first railroad which was constructed for the transportation of freight and passengers. The question was then often raised whether this method of locomotion would come into general use, and, if so, what would be the effect upon the industrial prosperity of the country. The strap-iron roads were provided with locomotives weighing about twelve tons. Then engines could make about ten miles an hour. At the end of fifty years more than 119,000 miles of railroad have been constructed in the country at a cost of not less than $6,000,000,000. The rate of locomotion has increased from ten miles an hour to fifty miles an hour, with a maximum speed of sixty miles an hour. The engine has increased in weight to forty tons, the strap rail has given place to the steel rail, the crude cars with leathern seats to palace-cars having nearly the convenience of a first-class hotel. Fremont had not found his path to the Pacific. Since his explorations not less than four continental railroads have been constructed and a fifth is in progress. Senator Platt, chairman of the Committee on Patents, recently made some remarks in the Senate on the progress of the last fifty years, claiming, of course, that the greater part of it has resulted from patented inventions. "I am not a very old man, but recollection carries me back fifty years, when there was no railroad, no coal used; no steam power used; no woolen factories except of the rudest sort; no telegraph in Connecticut. Possibly there were not a hundred tons of coal consumed in the State annually." by Mr. Heuri Mares, President of the Commission for the Department of Herault, and director of the experimental grounds of Las Sorres, one of the greatest extolers of insecticide substances, we find the following remarkable passage, which we are happy to place before the eyes of the non-believers of the American vine: "In the present state of the question on phylloxera," says the eminent vine grower of the Herault, "no known means appear capable of economically destroying the phylloxera, or preventing its spreading, except the use of vines naturally protected from the phylloxera, growing vigorously in all soils, and susceptible of being grafted with the admirable kinds of our French vineyards." Such is also the opinion of Mr. Pulliat, the eminent vine grower at Chirroule, in the department of Rhone. We borrow from him this citation: "I possess twenty-five or thirty acres of indigenous vines grafted four or five years ago on resisting American vines; they are of a vegetation and fertility which go beyond all that we have seen, even during the prosperity of our former vineyards. I no longer discuss with the non-believers of the American vines. I say to them, 'Come and see.'" Everywhere the American vines take possession of the ground which the plague has ravaged. Mr. Monnes, a vine grower of the environs of Nimes, writes, on June 13, 1883, in the paper La Vigne américaine, about American vines grafted in the department of Gard: "Our vines grow magnificently, and certainly pay less attention than ourselves to the phylloxera. In spite of the exceptionally damp weather of the month of May and the half of June, neither snout nor antracnose made any progress. As for the mildew, its time has not yet arrived; let us hope it will be late. I am much pleased with my old and new grafts." In the same paper we read, over the signature of Mr. J. Leenhardt, the following interesting information concerning grafting in the Herault in 1883: "The success of the grafts in 1883 has surpassed all expectations, which is most fortunate, as grafting has been practised on a very wide scale, proprietors obtaining graft bearers cheap. Large grafts have succeeded better than small ones. In short, grafting succeeded so well this year that there is no longer any prejudice against it. On 60,000 plants, which I grafted on the spot, you would believe that the vines were three years old, whereas I planted more cuttings in the spring of 1882. The former grafts up to 1876, and even 1875, continue to keep tiger first promises." In the torrential gratting is more difficult, because we have less experience and are subject to sudden changes in weather. Yet, in spite of a very high temperature in the month of May, which occasioned much disappointment to those who had hurried early gratting, to those who were less diligent and waited later to cleft or splice graft, and who immediately after the operation, placed the young plants in a nursery, or planted them and earthed them up, have obtained very satisfactory results. The grafts made on the spot in March during the period of good weather, and which were well earled up immediately, and on which it did not rain for about a week, have in general succeeded well. Those made on the spot in May have suffered much from the heat. Another cause of failure was insufficient thickness of the graft-bearers. Small scions have been used this year, and those have been chosen at the end of the branches which did not ripen last year, on account of an exceptionally cold summer. The want of the ripening of the branch has contributed a great deal to the failure of the graft. The American vines producing directly red wines—Herbemont, Jaquez, York's Madeira, Othello, Black Eagle, Senagua—by Mr. Henri Mares, President of the Commission for the Department of Herault, and director of the experimental grounds of Las Sorres, one of the greatest extolers of insecticide substances, we find the following remarkable passage, which we are happy to place before the eyes of the non-believers of the American vine: "In the present state of the question on phylloxera," says the eminent vine grower of the Herault, "no known means appear capable of economically destroying the phylloxera, or preventing its spreading, except the use of vines naturally protected from the phylloxera, growing vigorously in all soils, and susceptible of being grafted with the admirable kinds of our French vineyards."

Rapid Growth of Grape Culture. The increase of grape culture and the development of the manufacture of grape wine in this country are remarkable, and both are certain to become important industries in the near future. I have recently been traveling in various grape-growing States, and have been astonished at the increase during the past year, of acreage devoted to wines. Of course the official statistics are not yet at hand for the wine production of the past season, but I find from previous data that in the past five years or less the increase has been 100 per cent, in some of the States. In California in five years the native wine product has increased from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 gallons. In New York, where five years ago there were 8,000 acres planted in wine-producing grapes, there are now about 15,000 acres cultivated. In Ohio the increase in acreage has been about the same as in New York, and the total figures of the two States are also about the same. The Catawba country has not increased so rapidly as either New York or California. New Jersey grape culture is at a standstill for the present. Native wines are now made of all brands, while a few years ago only the Catawba, which Longfellow called the "drink divine," was old Nicholas Longworth made it, was the only native wine largely sold for table use. Now we have a pure champagne, a mellow port, a dry and a sweet sherry, and a Burgundy with a body and flavor equal to the imported article.—N. Y. Tribune "Talks about Town." We heard a prominent physician says a few days ago that he thought it was the duty of the proprietor of Ammen's Cough Syrup to give the formula of the medical faculty, so they could prescribe and use it without violating the rules of the profession, for, said he, "so many of my patients prase it to the skies, and cases have come under my observation where it has been remarkably beneficial, that I know it must indeed be a wonderful discovery in medical science." This medicine is for sale by respectable druggists and dealers in medicine everywhere. Old clothes dealers make large profits. This is mortifying to newspaper men. A Young Cannibal Caught in Mexico. Panama, March 25.—The Panama Star and Herald publishes the following, which it credits to the Monitor Republicana of Mexico: "A wild boy was recently caught in the Santa Rosa mountains in the vicinity of Taucaulmitz. He was carried to that town and put in a well-fenced garden, where he greedily consumed fruit, lettuce, roses, and the roots of several plants. He never spoke nor appeared to notice those who went to see him. He seemed perfectly harmless, but one day he seized a little child three years of age and began to eat it. The child's cries attracted attention, but before assistance reached the spot the young savage had devoured the flesh of the right arm and a part of the face. On seeing the child was about to be taken away he squeezed it to death in his arms. This wild youth is now chained up, but his captors are at a loss what to do with him." A Hint for Other Places. Cloverdale (Cal.), April 17.—A disreputable young man was tarred and feathered here by citizens last night and ordered to leave town. He recently came here with a woman of the town and took up his lodgings in a house of ill fame, living off the earnings of the woman. Last evening a number of citizens called at the house, and taking the maquereau to the outskirts of town, stripped him of his clothing, and after soundly thrashing him, painted him with tar, and shook a bucket of feathers over him. The tar-bucket brigade then headed the bird toward town and ran him to the brothel, under a heavy fire of rotten eggs. He was notified to leave town immediately, under penalty of similar treatment, and this morning he left for Geyserville. For Half a Life-time. Mrs. John Gemmell, Milroy, Miflin Co., Pa., in the spring of 1864 injured her spine and partial paralysis ensued. For nearly twenty years she was unable to walk. In the spring of 1883, she was advised to use St. Jacob's Oil, the great conqueror of pain. The first application gave instantaneous relief. Before the second bottle was exhausted she was able to walk and is cured. The steam power used in the manufactories of the United States, by the census of 1880, was equal to 2,183,488 horse-power; the water-power was equal to 1,225,379 horse-power, making in all, the horse power of the United States 3,408,867. Counting one-horse power to be equal to that of six men, we have in the power used in the driving of our factories alone in this country the equivalent of the power of 20,453,202 men. The steam power used in driving our factories, not including the water power, is equivalent to the labor of 13,100,928 men; and of our 50,000,000 people only 35 per cent, are supposed to be capable of labor—in round numbers, 17,500,000 laborers, persons capable of pursuing gainful avocations, in the country; and yet it would nearly take these 17,500,000 men to furnish the force that is exercised by steam in driving the engines of our factories, the wheels, the spindles and the machinery of this country, and we do not begin to touch even then upon the saving of power by the use of the machines which are manufactured in these factories. Take the capacity of locomotive engines as compared with the capacity of horses. We find that the locomotives in the entire country are doing the work of 29,676,960 horses on common roads. This is the old fallacy brought out frequently for an arring that machines destroy labor. That is not so; the laborer is released from one kind of work only to engage in another which the machine has created. New inventions are constantly opening new fields of labor.—S. F. Bulletin. Michigan's Dorado. Now it is Michigan's turn to witness the exciting gold show. Thirty years ago it was her vast deposits of Lake Superior copper. This time it is at the bottom of a well, where as the old saying goes, truth is said to lie. This particular well has been sunk to a depth of thirty feet, and gold in paying quantities has been discovered at its bed-rock. It was pumped out in sand, and twenty dollars' worth of scrap from a cubic foot of earth. That is rich, and no mistake. Only thirty feet down too. If it has been found there it is likely to be found over a considerable area surrounding it. Why don't Michigan keep the secret to herself? Her territory is more easily reached than are the regions of our Pacific north. She does wrong to excite the cupidity of California adventurers, especially as her land has already many years gone taken up. Her own farmers must be disturbed, too. Only to think that under the planted seed stretches a floor of gold! It is hoped that they will keep their excitement in harness until after the harvest. The "gold" will stay where it is a few months longer. They can, in the meantime, prospect by digging more wells and finding out where to strip the land "when the time comes." The New Haven News shows that the Legislature of Connecticut has since 1879 voted 938,750 to newspaper reporters as out-and-out gratuitous. GAZETTE. APRIL 26, 1884.

Assemblyman Leverson is in danger of expulsion from the "extraordinary session" for having written the following extraordinary letter to the Chaplain of the Assembly: SAN FRANCISCO, March 8, 1884. "Rev. C. H. Ware—REVEREND AND DEAR SIR: Permit me, respectfully, for the sake of the religion you profess, of the sect to which you belong, and your own real interest, both heavenly and mundane, to appeal to you to resign the post of Chaplain to the Assembly, so which you were elected in violation both of the spirit and letter of the Constitution of this State, which all the members of the Assembly, and I presume yourself also, were sworn to maintain. "But not only should you, if you believe in the sanctity of an oath, refuse longer to be party to its violation, but surely, when the matter is presented to you in its true light, you cannot, as an honest man, continue to receive $5 of the tax-payers' hard-earned wages for a labor on your part of five or, at the most, ten minutes; in other words, at the rate of $240 per day for a legal day's labor of eight hours. "Surely as minister of a religion that teaches that the decalogue was divinely bestowed, you cannot be willingly a party to the infraction of one of its most imperative and valuable commands, or be yourself the party benefited by such infraction. "It would be bad enough if your services, however really valuable, were rendered gratuitously, as a Jewish minister was willing his should be, for the violation of the Constitution would be the same, and under protection of our constitution." An Encyclical Letter. New York, April 17.—A cablegram from Rome says: In an encyclical letter of the Pope, to be published next week, Leo XIII lays especial stress upon Freemasonry, and the means to be employed to defend the "City of God" against the "City of Satan." The following is a resume of the letter: "The plan of secret societies is no longer a mystery. It is a struggle against the Church, and the various Popes have very properly excommunicated Freemasons. Since 150 years secret societies have increased frightfully. A grave peril thus threatens society. The Socialist has a source of strength in Masonry. The Papacy is placed in an intolerable situation. Masonry does not avow its real object; it decries the innocent by a varnish of toleration. The press, marriage, education, sovereignty of the people, atheism of the State, radicalism, communism—all tend toward a return to paganism. Masonry flatters Princes in the hope of having them for auxiliaries. The governments should choose between Masonry and the Church, which latter sustains authority and inculcates obedience." The Pope thus prescribes to bishops their duties; first, by pastoral laws unmask secret societies and make the people abhor them; second, extend Christian education; third, urge agriculturists and workmen to organize Catholic associations and conferences of St. Vincent de Paul; fourth, watch schools and exhort the youth never to become members of any society without first consulting their priests.

In the Hill-Sharon case, Mrs. Scott, a colored fortune-teller, testified: I picked out a nice clean love chyarm; it war made of nine drops of lazes, nine pinches of sugar and black tea; I gin dat to hur in a bottle and she wanted to know if it was a teaspoonful three days a day and I says to hurt, says I, "Gracious, no, the more the better for him;" so I filled de bottle fur hur several times, I did, and dat's the truth, General Barnes. But the charm was "no good" for Sarah Althea soon came again and told her that she and Sharon had quarreled and another charm was required. "She gin me a paar of socks," said Laura, "an I dipped de toes in whisky an I sewed dem together an' den I tied dem 'round hur lef' leg." Mr. Barnes—Why the left? Laura Scott—It's nearer the heart. The molasses charm was also continued. Having thus charmed him, Laura Scott perfidiously wrote Sharon an anonymous letter betraying the whole matter. Sarah having worn the socks a long time cane back again "duperat" as Laura Scott called it. Dried Fruits and Nuts from India British India has become a formidable competitor with California in wheat growing, but it was not thought that she would become a dangerous rival in the production of dried fruits and nuts. Samples just received from Bombay, via New York, by George W. Meade & Co., include angor, sul-tana and block raisins; harl and soft shell almonds and shelled almonds, walnuts, pistachio nuts, pubdees (a small black olive-shaped nut used in candies), and dried figs. The sul-tana and other raisins are superior to the Turkish, while the almonds, though not of very large size, are well bleached and very attractive. The walnuts are a superior variety, similar to the Naples nuts, which bring the highest price in the New York market. California growers, in view of this threatened competition, cannot afford to cultivate any but the finest varieties of each kind, nor neglect any precaution in curing and packing that intelligent experience can suggest. The Indian goods have already made their appearance in New York, and can be successfully met only by California products of superior quality.—S. F. Bulletin. Derivation of the Word News.

Not a Candidate. WASHINGTON, April 17. — As the name of Secretary Lincoln has been mentioned as a candidate for the Presidency, and as in nearly every nomination that has been suggested it appears in connection with the Vice-Presidency, the following correspondence will prove of interest as bearing on that point: WASHINGTON (D. C.), March 28, 1884. Please see the friend who writes the enclosed letter, proposing to organize a club in Chicago in my behalf for President. I am not a candidate for either President or Vice-President, and do not, therefore, wish any clubs formed for me. If you will kindly give this matter your early attention and stop it you will much oblige me. Sincerely yours, ROBERT T. LINCOLN. To Hon. Leonard Swett. As this is the first expression of Lincoln's views on the subject which has been made public, his brief letter is of special interest. Inharmonious Christians. Rev. Aaron Williams, a well-known missionary of San Francisco, since the opening of the bowling-alley in the Young Men's Christian Association building in that city, has not been held in a very brotherly spirit by the managers of that society because of his continual warfare and opposition to this department of their work. Upon various occasions, in public and private, the reverend gentleman denounced both gymnasium and bowling-alley as being out of place in the Young Men's Christian Association. Mr. Williams has been silenced in their public noon prayer meetings recently, and at the meeting on Thursday of last week attempted his usual interference and reproach, when the janitor, who has been under orders for some time to keep him away, put his orders into execution. The reverend gentleman resisted the ejectment, but being overpowered, he was soon left on the sidewalk. The height of pettifogging was reached in Washington the other day, when the counsel for a convicted murderer asked for a new trial on the ground that one of the jurors, a Hokow, was not sworn with his hat on and his hand on the five books of Means as the custom of administering the oath among Jews. Derivation of the Word News. It is commonly supposed that the word "news" is derived from the adjective "new," but this supposition is wrong. In former times it was a prevalent custom to put over the periodical publications of the day the initial letters of the compass, as shown above, this importing that these papers contained intelligence from all quarters of the globe. From this practice is derived the word "newspapers." An invalid who went to Thomasville, Ga., writes that he found in a local newspaper, alongside the column which the editor's graceful pen makes eloquent with praise of the pine belt, and fierce with denunciation of that horse thief and midnight assassin who upholds the superior climatic advantages of Aiken, S.C.—even there he saw a flaring advertisement, having for a vignette an engraved bearer, and further illuminated and illustrated with cuts of metallic coffins, all of latest cut and fashion, while further on in the next came a modest, but assured, statement from the advertisers as follows: "Our long experience in embalming and shipping bodies justifies us in saying that our work cannot be excelled. Certificates, testifying in the strongest terms to the safe and satisfactory transmission of bodies shipped by na, can be seen on application at our office." Last week the oldest son of William Bowman of New Era, Clackamas county, Ox., was engaged in selling some trees not far from the house. He cut one down and then started for the house, passing by the fallen tree, and was horrified to see his young brother, John, aged five years, lying under it crushed to death. The little fellow never spoke. The elder brother did not know that any of the children were anywhere in the vicinity, and no blame can be attached to any one. Help was soon procured and the wrangled body extracted and taken to the house. A package of greenbacks which had been enclosed in a can and buried for several years by a miner near Halema, M. T., was researched the other day. A mountain rat had acquired a nest in the can and eaten one end of the bills off, but fortunately their value was not destroyed. Ammen's Congh Syrup never fails to cure if used in time and amounting to directions.
