'ul is the gathering, that those which fall to the
ground are picked up by peculiar instrument,
contrived expressly for that purpose. One Of
re facts in regard to this celebrated estate,
which will most surprise the reader, is its
small extent. 1t embraces only about seven
teen acres. All the wine, even Of this small
space, is not equal, but that of each of the
small compartments into which it is divided is
kept separate, and, even in the best years,
there is considerable difference in the value of
he different casks. It's produce amounts, in
good seasons, to about forty butts, valued at
$4,000 forms, equal to S36.270. A cask con-
aiming $50 bottles has been valued as high
as 2. 200 forms. The highest price ever paid
was 900 forms per cask of 1850 bottles,
which is little more than $3.50 of our cur.
rency per bottle. The purchasers we're George
" and the King of Prussia, each moiety. In
bad years, the juice of the grape is never put
in the cellars, but sold at once for what it will
bring in the market; but the good wine is
slowed away in casks until it is ripe, and then
bottled and stamped with the Princes signet,
and sold in the different cities of Europe-of
course, principally to the mobiles. 1t is a ques-
ton whether q single bottle of real Johannes
berg has ever reached this country.

That "same old coon" has caught the
democracy at last: he could not win in

the chicken cocks. The cheat is plain,
palpable to all but the democratic hens;
they gun after him because he crows the
loudest and longest.
The position Of the old whig party
may be illustrated by reference to the
State Bank All know that this bank
is dead. and yet il lives in more than
pristine strength in the "Bsnk of the
State" The same men who owned and
controlled the State Bank now own and
control the Bank OF the State. The whig
party is dead and buried. yet it lives in

like the democratic party of 1857 as the
Bank of the State is like unto the old
