He says: Though f the same species, it ripens about a month later, and does not fall off like the grape, thus greatly prolonging the vintage and enabling a person to manipulate for wine twice the quan- lity of grapes otherwise possible. The two kinds ought therefore to be planted in the same vine yard, as one crop does not interfere with the other in harvesting. Black, solid, sweet and juicy, with an odor similar to that of the scuppernong. though less strong, it makes a beautiful wins of any shade of red desired. From a space of six by nine feet, on an average portion of my arbor, I gathered this season forty-six pounds of grapes, equivalent to 37,000 pounds per acre, and intelli gent men acquainted with the grape considers a crop of fifteen tons as a reasonable yield to be expected in favorable season. These grapes will not mature at the North, and as they yield so much more than other species, and are not subject to so many disasters, surely we have every reason to embark largely in theircultivation.

The inhabi tants of the globe profess more than 1000 differ ent religions. The number of men is about equal to the number of women. The average of human life is about thirty-three years. One quarter die previous to the age of seven years; one-half before reaching seventeen; and those who pass, this age enjoy a felicity refused to one half the human species. To every 1000 per sons only one reaches 100 years of life; to every 100, only six reaches the age of sixty five; and sot more than one in 500 lives to eighty years of age. There are on the earth 1,000,000,000 iahabitants; and of these 33.333,333 die every year, 81,822 every day, 3730 every hour, and sixty every minute, or one every seeond. These losses are about balanced by an equal number of births. The married are longer lived than the single, and, above all, those who observe a sober and industrious conduct. Tall men live longer than 6hort ones. Women have more chances of life in their favor previous to being fifty years of age than men, but fewer after wards. The number of marriages is in propor tion of seventy-five to every one hundred indi viduals. Marriages are most frequent after the equinoxes; that is, during the moDths of June and December. Those born in the spring are generally more robust than others. Births and deaths are more frequent by night than by day. The number of men capable of bearing arms is calculated at one-fourth of the population. - . IM . . From the Paris Kentuckian. TWICE MARRIED. Our neighboring little city of Cynthiana noted for its "bright maidens and brave men" was a few days (since the scene of a new and exciting comedy of errors. Nestled and encir cled by the placid Licking, there is a romance and beauty about it which teems to be propiti ous to the God of Love. Not that we would be understood to assert that love has any special "local habitation' which would be a glaring heresy. But to our adventure. The hero of our story saw and loved a young, beautiful, and modest creature his beau ideal of all that was lovely and lovable in woman. His love was warmly reciprocated; but the "old folks" objected. In this instance, how ever, as the parties were of legal age, their ob jections constituted no serious obstacles to their union; so, accompanied by their friends they left their homes, and came a short distance to Cynthiana, repaired to the Rankin House, there to await the preliminaries which were to culmi nate in their marriage. The parties went at once to the clerk's office and procured, as they supposed, the proper license; but the clerk had, of course, uninten tionally, filled up the blank in the marriage license with the attendants names. It was soon discovered, however, that "somebody had blun dered," and the clerk erasing the gentleman's name, substituted the correct one. He failed, however, to notice that the lady's name wasal&o wrong, ana tience aid not lter it. The preliminaries being, as it was supposed, admirably arranged, the party returned to the Rankin House, the minister was sent for and the right couple were speedily married. Here with the marriage of our hero and heroine if we were writing a novel, our story would end. But fidelity to the "truth of histo tory" requires us to proceed.' Need we, how ever, attempt to describe the scenes after mar riage, wherein, . amid the congratulations of friends, the bride, blushing with sweet confu sion, shone conspicuous; nor bow "All went merry as a marriage bell !" Thus passed several hours, until the hour ar rived for retiring, and when the clerk was as signing the parties their respective rooms, learn ing from the party who . issued the license the names of those married, it was dis covered that the marriage license was wrong; and the clerk, not knowing of the error, had assigned the married lady - a separate room, whilst , to the one unmarried he assigned the bridal chamber. "Ah! then and there was hurrying to and fro, And gathering tears, and tremblings of.distress, And cheeks all pale, which but an hour ago Blushed at the praise of their own loveliness." The hour was quite late, but the minister was again sent for, the license re-corrected, and the parties, after this unusual chapter of incidents again re married, . Joliccv:--....

"r From the Land we Love. In response to the call made for the names of the six privates, who cast burning shells out of the trenches at Petersburg, we have been told of two of these noble heroes, both from our own gallant North Carolina. Captain J D Gumming, who commanded one of the fioest batteries in the Confederate servi6e,; writes , to us, "while Butler was 'bottled up' at Bermuda Hundreds, a heavy cannonade occurred on the 3d day of June, 1864. During the fire, a shell from a o2 pounder battery, just "opposite our position, fell into the trenches and rolled under tbe trail of a gun by which I was standing. Private J P Pierce, from Columbus county, N. C , a mem ber of my battery, raised the shell and threw it over the parapet. I reported the fact to Head Quarters, and the following extract of an order from General Beauregard shewed his apprecia tion of the heroic deed: . "The Commanding General is pleased . to notice the coolness and bravery exhibited on the 3d instant by private James P Pierce, of Cumming's battery. A 32 pound shell from the enemy's batteries having pierced the top of the earthworks and rolled under tbe trail of a gun, private Pierce, with a presence of mind worthy of admiration, picked it up and threw it outside tbe trenches, before the fuse had burned sufficiently to explode the shell." The gallant Col. John Brown, (John E.,) who commanded tbe 42d N. C. regiment, furnishes the second name. "Private Frank Campbell, Co. F, 42d N. C. regiment, belonging to the drum corps, but as he had a fondness for sharp shooting, he was frequently on the lines. Ou one occasion, a loaded shell fell into the trenches at Peteisburg. Campbell caught it up imme diately and threw it outside, before it could ex plode, thereby saving the lives of a number of his comrades. On another occasion, he threw water upon a shell for a like purpose. -He was wounded in the head at Cold Harbor, left tbe lines only long enough to get the wound dressed, and contrary to the advice of the surgeons, came back to hi post and fought heroically. He is from Davie county, and I am glad to say is still alive." ives us an anecdote illus- trating the disposition of the soldiers to tease those improperly out or service. A citizen, with long hair, long whi&kers, big mustachios, and grand imperial, had his bead at a window in Richmond. "The human face divine" was so completely bidden by the crinial covering above it, under it, and around it, that the tout en semble seemed to be an immense . mass of hair stuck in the window, or pendent from it. A soldier passing by, stopped and gazed with much interest at the curious spectacle, and then call ing to a comrade across the street said, "Ned, I have found my old mar" (mare.) "Where?" replied Ned. "Don't you see her tail sticking out of that window ? I could awar to her tail any whar. But how in the thunder did the old critter git up thar?" The tail was promptly withdrawn. Napoleon, Arkansas, sends us an anecdote of a Texas soldier. While trudging along one day all alone, the soldier met a Methodist circuit rider and at once recognized him as such, Lut affected ignorance of it. Preacher. "What command do you belong to?" " ' , .

Mrs Sarah Doonelson, formerly a resident of Bed Bluff, is living in a log- house on the trail with her children and - her father.- A few days ago her father went out hunting stock, and Mrs D. was looking after her poultry a short distance from the house. Suddenly five Indians made their appearance. . Mrs D. started for the house, and was intercepted by two Indians. .Throwing them from, her, a third caught her by the shoulder. She knocked him down, and reaching the house in safety, she barred the door.

In the journal of the Statistical Society of Paris, and the annals of Hygiene and Legal Medicine of the same city, we find some exceed ingly interesting tacts concerning the Hebrew race. We give them below for the information of the Hebrew population of our city : "The history of the Hebrew is, in many re spects, one of the grand episodes of modern civilization. We cannot, but wonder at tbeir persistent and eventually victorious struggle against implacable persecutions, instigated as well by religious hatred as by a desire to become possessed of their great riches ; their force of expansion, which led them to emigrate to all parts of the known world; the concentration in their hands of a large part of international trade; the triple agenoy 1, of an admirably special aptitude for trade and finance ; 2, of sounder notions of the power of credit, at a time when unproductive concealment and hoarding were the methods of saving; 3, the exclusion, by the laws of countries which tolerated their stay in them, from all active employment; tbe adhesion to their religion, notwithstanding the incessant endeavors to proselyte, which were often strength ened by the secular arm; the not less deter mined retention, in the land of their exile, of the manners, customs and traditions of Judea; their refusal to mix with the races by which they were surrounded; finally a certain vitality, superior to those races which enables them to be readily acclimated in all parts of the world. Their sobriety has always been known; in toxication is rare habitual drunkards can hardly be found. We see here a practical commentary on the saying of the celebrated Ha'.ler, that by far the larger of those who were noted for their longevity were sober and lived plainly. The Hebrew population in the different conn tries of Europe, is estimated iu a table before us, to be 3,692,132, Prussia not included. Russia contains the largest number, 1,425,784. Next comes Austria, 1,048,174 Third on the list is Poland, 599,875 England shows 45,000, and Ireland, the lowest figure of all, being only 322. The National Almanac, for 1894, sets down the Hebrew population of the United States at 200,000. This is an estimate evidect ly not too high." The late war was not wanting in illustrations of Israelitish bravely and devotion, displayed in the service of the South. Many fell gallantly on the field of battle, anjj sealed their faith with their blood. Louisiana, we believe, furnished an entire regiment, and Charleston, New. Or leans and other Southern cities, furnished hun dreds of Hebrew soldiers, and millions of He brew wealth to carry on the war, which termin ated so disastrously for them and for us all. Augusta Constitutionalist. The Judicial Poicersvf the Frecdmen's Bu reau Declared Null. The Louisville Courier of the 24th ultimo reports the following case : The case of Smith vs Reed was disposed of in the United States Circuit Court yesterday, and the action of the "Bureaucrats" in connec tion therewith may be regarded as a concession on their part of the illegality of their would-be courts. The case was one involving the legality of the judicial powers claimed by the Bureau agents under the Frecdmen's Bureau act. Captain Reed, as agent of the Bureau at Cyn thiana, rendered a judgment for seventy-five dollar? against Jonathan Smiib, and issued an execution to enforce the judgment. His "offi cers" found Smith hauling wood with two horses which were all he had and took them from him by virtue of. and in satisfaction of Captain Reed's "execution." Smith brought suit against Reed and others in the Harrison County Circuit Court, and recovered possession of the horses by a writ" of replevin, after they bad been gone about two days.- Captain Reed, by petition, removed the case into the United States Circuit Court, to try the legality of hi3 judgment and the validity of his process as su perintendent. Yesterday the distinguished attorney, Hon. M. C Johnson, of Lexington, appeared, to pros ecute Smith's suit in the United States Court, but Capt- Reed had received so little encourage ment from the loyal fraternity that he attempt ed no-defence whatever. Judgment was ren dered against him for the horses, and damages and costs. - This default may be considered as a confes sion by the Frecdmen's Bureau that the attempt of the Bureau Act to confer judicial power up on its agent was nugatory, and that the assump tion and exercise, by those military judges, of the power to decide controversies concerning negroes, etc., was a pure usurpation. The Frecdmen's Bureau in other States has exercised like jurisdiction .with that in Kentuc ky, and judgments were rendered and collected. If such proceedings were violative of law io Kentucky, they must be equally so elsewhere. Impobtance of. Advertising: Here ia the experience of a successful business bouse in a distant city. Wq happen io know that the statement is a true one, every word of it: "In a brief interview with one of our most liberal patrons, a few " days-since, we incruircd his experience of the policy of advertising. We regard his answer as noteworthy, and commend it to the consideration of others, He said the same kind of business io which he is engaged had been carried on at the same stand for ten years, by one, and nearly ten years by another predecessor; that these men gave diligent atten tion to their business, aud were sober and frugal, but ppent nothing for advertising. -They were just barely able to eke out a living; that he bought out the concern ten "years ago, and be- tcame debtor for the whole'establishment.

Choosing a wife is no such punling enigma ! its it ased to be. before lights of modern science shone across the nineteenth centurv of ours. If you marry an angel and . discover afterward that she is something very far removed from tho supernatural, you have only yourself to thank for it. You may have read the dormant existence of those very repellant traits of char acter which broke upon you like thunderbolts, in conformation of the pretty head, the shape of the polished forehead, the curve of tbe state ly neck. You may have seen the flash of tem per in her eyes, the acerbity of her close lips, the iron will of the 6quare chin. Nature in scribes her character plainly enough in the face and brain, and if you. take not the trouble to Tead the signs and tokens, why, you. have only to make the best of tbe bargain. . Nor do we believe in long courtships. Jacob must have been a most remarkable iodividaal not to have got heartily tired of Miss Rachel long before those fourteen years'' ordeal had transpired, and we have no proofs that Rachel was not waning into a confirmed old maid while Jacob was earning her. Don't wait to make your fortune, young lover I If you are not rich enough in money, you have stores of strength and youth, .and warm fresh love; and with these gone you would be poor indeed, though you re veled in the wealth of William B. Astor. A man never falls in love but onoe. He has his fancies, likings, friendships, based on genuine esteem, but the celestial flame eomes only once in a lifetime. Therefore if you love a woman and she is worthy of your affection, marry her, and trust to God and your own strong right arm to bring the world to recognize tbe wisdom of your choice. As for all the current nonsense about select ing a wife, our shrewd opinion is that it is only nonsense. Fancy a young gentleman prying into his inamorata's house beforo breakfast to ascertain whether or not her collar is pinned cor rectly or her hair brushed geometrically straight. Picture him descending upon all sorts of cer tain and uncertain hours to find out whether she had made bread or played tho piano, and if there is any dust on her centre-table. If he has not judgment enough to make his selection without any such extraneous aids, we opine that his intellect can scarcely be of the very highest order. Yet there are some keen disappointments in this business of matrimonial choice. A man . who marries a pretty girl under a sort of transi tory enchantment, is very apt when the honey moon is over, to discover that she is only mor tal after all, and considers himself rather in tba light of a wronged individual. The pretty girl, . too, begins to see that her lover is neither more or less than a man; it is possible that she has her moments of grave reflection on tbe subjeot. Thus it requires a considerable amount of phi losophy to survive the first months of matrimo ny without what are called "lover's quarrels." Yet there is love enough and broad enough and deep enough to bear up all imperfections and . shortcomings on its restless current. Now and then we chance on a marriage based on just such love as this, a union whose links brighten as the years go on, and are cemented mors strongly in the world "where there ia neither marriage nor giviug in marriage. While there are summer and winter, seed ti n ; and harvest, there will be a perpetual re- . petition of the sweet old store of love and court- ship. .It is as it should be. Let there be no false modesty, no misplaced hesitation on the -subject. God meant bis children to be happy - in the spring time of their lives; shall. we bide away the good gifts of love and appreciation . which he has given us? - .,. "What makes you look .so grum, Tom?"
