OLD WINE-has had its eulogists in
all ages of the world-both new and old
its votaries Bayard Taylor rather
breaks up the charm poets have thrown
around the juice of ancient grapes. He
took "snifter" at Bremen of Hook over
two hundred years old. He thus ae-
counts for himself:
Leaving Gotha on the 9th of June, we
went by rail to Bremen, by way of Cas-
sci and Hanover. The only thing in the
former city which we had time to visit
was the celebrated R4ttSkelier, or crypt
of the old Hall of Council. This is re-
nowned through all G ermany for its tuns
of Rhenish wine, Of the most undoubted
antiquity They are kept in great vaults,
distinguished by different titles. That
of the Twelve Apostles has been I'M
lnortalized by Hauf' and Helne, but the
apostolical wines are not so fine as those
authors would have us believe. Each
cask bears the name of one Of the Apos-
ties: they contain wine Of the vintage of
17IS. which has now, | was informed, a
pungent acid flavor. That of Judas.
alone, retains pleasant aroma, and the
sinner, therefore, is in greater demand
than all the saints together. In the
Rose Cellar are enormous casks, yet
filled with Hochhcimer (HOck) Of the
vintage of 1924. For a couple of cen
turtles it was carefully treasured, but the
CITY Fathers of Bremen finally discov-
cred that the longer it was kept the
worse it grew, and now sell 1t to visitors
in small bottles, ut Il moderate price
Approx s to this, is Taylor's descnp-
ton of the locks of poets of which
Leigh Hunt has collection.
THAT thin tuft of brown, silky tibers,
could it really have been shorn from
Millions head! asked myself. "Touch
it." said Leigh Hunt, "and then you Will
have touched Milton's self" There is
life in hair though it he dead" said |,
as did so, repeating line from Hunts
own sonnet on this lock. Shelley's hair
was golden and very soft; Keats a
bright brown, curling in large Bacchlc
rings: DR.. Johnson's gray, with harsh
and wirv feel; Dean Swift's both brown
and gray, but finer, denoting a more SEN
sitive organization; and Charles Lambs
reddish-brown, short and strong.
DEATH OF Observation-Disclosures, an
illustrious French poet is dead. He
was II years of age.

ELECTION RETuRNs-The retnr

ELECTION RETURNs-The returns
come in by OK express with the mail
from the Atlantic States. All our efforts
to obtain table for our readers have
proved fruitless. The only interest
shown is to learn whether Burton is
elected and Plumer beaten, and most of
the returns that have come to our Office
have reference only to these points
The probability is that the Democratic
ticket has, generally, from 700 to 500
plurality in the county Burton has,
without doubt, been elected Senator
by 400 or 500 votes over Walsh, the
Democratic nominee So far as heard
from lie is near GOO ahead 1t is posi-
BILE these figures may be lessened by re-

1t is probable that Smith, American,
has been elected over Plumer by from
100 to 200 votos

a co-pattnership with me in The lgal prUf.s

with view TO aRrand swing into the crfminar

cANp1DATE roR ArroRneY GENERAL.

We present, in another column, the FRO.
coed ngs of the Convention, held in Rich
mond, en- Wednesday last, for the purpose Of
nom; na. ing candidate for Attorney General
Of the State, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Willis P. Bocock, Esq
We are confident that the result Of the de-
alterations of that Convention, will prove truly
gratifying to the party in this section of the
State. Mr.. Tucker possesses in an eminent
degree, the quail fcations necessary TO a ss;,-
cessful discharge of the duties of the office
for which he has been nominated. No man
of his age, in the State, has won for himself
higher position as a lawyer and few have
rendered more efficient service to the party
which has, selected him as its standard bearer
Abiding to the nomination, the Richmond
Examiner, says:
1t W Il b" Seen from the published proceed
ings that JOHN Randolph Tucker, ESQ. of
Winchester, nominated on the first ballot
by a decided majority of the Convention
Mr.. Tucker is well known TO the people of
Virginia gentleman of first rate talents,
fine intellectual cult; alton, great moral worth.
and finished legal attaimments. His ag. is
not as ripe as his mind and his scholarship;
but that only makes the pleasure Of voting
for his elevation to an honorable an ! respnn-
sible office the greater to generous Virginia
Suffragnns.
1t is needless TO Advert 20 Mr.. fuckers
claims to the support and confidence of the
Democracy of Virginia. Hi services in the
memorable campaign of 1855 would of them
selves entitIe him to this high mark of con-
sideratlon and appreciation from his party, to
say nothing of his Iabors through many years
of ardent contest and strife for the principles
of constitutional faith and policy which have
ever been cherished the apple of their eye
by the State Rights Democracy Of our Com
monwealth. Mr.. Tucker WAS distinguished
advocate of the nomination Of Mr.. Buchanan
for the Presidency, and had a large agency in
bringing about that PrOvideatial nomha ion
to which is due the present existence of our
beloved Umor. Tie same Democr"c. WHO
gave thirty thousand majority at the last cleo
ton for Mr.. Buchanan, will most checrfuIIy,
we are sure, give an approximate majority to
the able, learned and worthy young Tucker.
even if he should have opposition, which is
improbable.
