DEATH OF RUFUS CHOATE.
The Telegraph announced on Thurs
day the melancholy intelligence that
Rufus Choate, Of Massachusetts, was
no more 4 .... =.
Mr.. Choate left Boston will, a party
of friends, but a few weeks since, in
one Of the Cunard steamers, intend
ing, if his strength would warrant it.,
to make voyage to Europe, with the
hope Of improving his health. But.
reaching Halifax, he determined to
aban ION the project Of a European
voyage, and grew gradually more fec
bic until Wednesday last, when he
died. Since the death of Mr.. Web
ster, OIr. Choate has been the most
eminent lawyer Of Massachusetts,. He
was born i'll the town of Essex, near
Salem, in Massachusetts, on the LIST OF
October, 1909, and was consequently
n ar sixty years old at the time OF his
meath. It is said t'>at he was distin.
guished in early boyhood for his grav.
ity of delneanor, and the earnestness
with which he availed himself of all
the means Of improvement within his
reach. At the age Of l6 he entered
Dartmouth College, and graduated
with the highest honors of his class ir
1919. lie remained at the College *
tutor for a year after he graduated
when he entered the law school al
Cambridge, and gave himself up witt
devotion to his studies rare in this
country, and soon entered upon pro
fcssion in which he gained so brilliant
a reputation. He remained at the Law
school but few months, when he
went to the city of as1ington, where
he entered the office Of the late Will
liam Writ as a student. Returning tt
his native State, he continued, his le
gal studies in the Office of Judge Cum
mings,s of Salem, and was admitted
to the bar in 1894, when he com
mcnced practice in the small town G!
|Denvers, but very soon took up his
residence in Salem, where he at one,
gained q position by his brilliant elo
quence and legal requirements: 1
has been said that his graceful ant
persuasive rhetoric was something
new in the discussions OF a New Eng
land Court of Justice. He was elect
ed to the Legislature, and served ..
term both in the House and in III,
Senate; in 1882 he was elected mem
Der OF Congress and served one, term
but he had 10 inclination for the ex

INFLUENCE OF FEMALE SOCIETY

INFLUENCE Of FEMALE SOCIETY.
It is better to pass an evening once
or twice in a lady's drawing room,
even though the conversation is slow,
and you know the girls song by heart,
than in q club, tavern, or the pit of !,
theater. All amusements Of youth to
which virtuous women arc not admit

nature. All men who avoid female
society have dull perceptions, and r
stupid, or have gross tastes, and re.
volt against what is pure. Your club
swaggerers, who are sucking the butts
Of billiard cues all night, call female
society insipid. Poetry is insipid to q
yokel; beauty has no charms for d
blind man; music does not please a
poor beast who does not know one
tune from another; aud as true cpl

SWISS AGRICULTURE.

farming in that country. No good
terraced land can be had there for
less than 81 1000 to 1000" per acre,
and the quantity of that land is one
per cent of the whole territory. No
man owns more than 10 or Is acres
of such ground. In that country in
vestmcnts ore made for security rath-
er thon profit, and 1-2 per cent is
usually satisfactory. The terraces are
always chosen with Southern expos
ure and are walled up on the lower
side, with stone and lime. They arc
generally from 10 to SO feet wide and
inclined at All angle of at least twenty
ty7two degrees. They ascend up the
sides of the mountains from 500 to
500 feet ard arc reached by stone

principal use made of these grounds:
Thirty days labor is the required av-
erage for every acre Of vines, and is
as often performed by women as by
men. The vines are kept low, and
trained to stakes about four feet high.
The stakes are taken up every fall,
and put down every spring. Some of
the vines were from eighty to one hun
drcd years old, though they prefer to
renew them every forty years.
From six hundred to seven hundrc'f
and fifty gallons of wine is the COM
mon product per acre. This wine is the
common beverage Of the country, is Of
two kinds, red and white, is worth the
first year from one to one and half
francs per gallon. The second year:
when rackcd twice, from two to three
francs per gallon,,hc second year when
Tracked twice, from two to three francs
and i'll the same proportion for a long
er time. The vineyards are worked
with nlattock having head like
that of an AK on one side, and two
teeth about six inches apart and twelve
to fifteen inches long OH the other.--
The laborers work slowly, but in sum-
mer commence at three o'clock i'll the
