) GRAPES. The ease with which grapes may
DC cultivated, makes it matter of surprize to n.
that more attention is not paid TO the rearing
o. men, They are choice fruit, particularly
tue improved varieties, and the Isabella grape
IS as hardy as our common kinds, and q gres,
bearer. We know of several vines of this kind.
Dut three or four years old, which are now in
iull bearing. We doubt whether anv other
ifuit can be raised for the market, which will
pay SO large profit as good grapes In the
vicinity OF New York and Philadelphia thew
are very abundant. The last PhindeIuhia
'drteL says" The whole extent of Philadelnh,,.
IL could be seen at glance, would present a.
greater number of grape vines, and a more
Oountlful supply of green grapes at this time,
than all the rest of the Union together can
boast of. 1t is remarkable to observe the al
most universal fondness that exists here for the
cultivation of this beautiful and valuable fruit
We see them hanging like ropes of onions, in
small gardens, where j: would scarcely be be-
eved they could grow. They are extremely
ornamental, and reward the citizen gardener
better than any thing he can plant"
Gen JAcKsoN's HEALTH. Reports, unfavor-
able to the state of Cen jackson s health, have
Tor some time past reached us, but, as it was
pretended by his friends that his indisposj,ion
was slight, and that he was recovering, we have
paid no particular attention to them. 1t an
pears now very certain, not only that the ru-
mors were well founded, but that his indisposi
ton continues The last Washington papers
mention the fact that Gen. jackson has left
that city and gone to Old Point Comfort, in Vir-
gnia, for the benefit Of his health. His contin-
ued illness gives rise TO some speculation as to
the administration of the government in the
contingency of his death. The following is an
extract from letter from the correspondent of
the Boston Palladium, dated Washington.
Aug. l6:
:" Gen. Jackson has had several attacks of in. |
disposition recently, and some of them have !
been so severe as to cause serious alarm AMONG
some of his friends and some of his opponents
= His death would cause strange confusion
here. Perhaps iherc is but single individual !
In the Cabinet who would retain his station, !
and that is Mr.. lngham, whose attachment to
Mr.. Calhoun has been long :ried, and who
would consequently have nothing to fear from
the passage Of power into his hands On the I
other hand, those who are at present in oppo- |
sition to Gen. Jackson. are DESTROYS that since
he is in office. he should remain there for his |
time, rather than that by his death, the Vice /
President should be placed in possession of the |
means by which he might influence the election |
of 1882 in his own favor The Southern peo-
pie have strong monarchical tendencies, and
Mr.. Calhoun entertains sentiments which sa
your as strongly of arstocracy as any of his
fellow citizens from that section of the Union |
He Is young and might feel an unconeuerable |
aversion from rendering up his power, while I
yet scarcely passed the prime of life, and when !
this possibility is thrown into the scale with !
his recent apostacy from tariff principles, the |
weight of evil to be derived from his election is
far greater than that of any advantage which |
it appears to be most likely to confer upon u.s.
There is no doubt that the situation of Gen !
Jackson, who has been cuppqd and saivated, /
who is IN one dnv and down the next and who. !
wthal, bears about with him form emaclateU, I
and cadeverous visage, upon which days I
seem to make almost the impression of years, !
has excited much CONSERVATION and speculation |
here, and the majority of opinions is decidedly /!
Of his endurance until 1888"
