T HE CIR A p e il.

THE history of the grape almost old that of man
Il growing in its highest perfection in Syria and Per
sa its luciops fruit and the unrvaed beverage which it,
fermented juice Affords recommended it to the especial
care of the Patrarchal tllers of the soil and VINEYARDS
were extensively planted long before orchards or col
lectiOns of other fruit trees were at all common.
The grapes OF the old world all varieties the wine
grape which though long and universally cultivated
and naturalized in all the Middle and Southern portions
of Europe is not a native of that Continent but came
originally from Persia From the latter country as the
civilization advanced westward this plant accompanied
-frs to Egypt then to Greece and Sicily ard gradu
ally to Italy, Spain, France and Britain to which lat
ter country the Romans carried it about two hundred
years after Christ To America the seeds and plants
the European varieties brought by numerous Emil
grants and Coonsts within the first fifty years after its
settlement.
The wild grapes Of our own country quite distinct
species from the wine grape of Europe and are usually
stronger in their growth with longer and more entire
foliage and in their native state with peculiar foxy
odour flavor and more Oress hardness of pulp these
have already obtained from the wild type new varie
ties of high quality and of superior hardness and pro-
ductiveness in this, our Northern climate.
The universal experience in all countries has estab
shed the fact that dry, soil is the very best for
the vine. All in this latitude may raise the grape
cessuly by setting the vine in favorable exposure
the The late varieties that offer for sale are all
earlier than the Isabella but One and that rpens full
the Isabella. There is no fruit grown, in my
opinion in this world beautiful delicious
fu than the grape. If man is not too lazy he may have
round him all the varieties of grapes in high state OF
cultivation and his garden adorned with all the beautiful
and social productions of this fair world of ours and
mind that has any STIR IN IL at all by little enquiry and
practice may learn to cultivate anything that grows
consider the following variety of grapes the very best
to cultivate for out door culture in northern climate
out of the vast variety.

PoLIcn COURT. Judge Lowe examined
twenty-eight cases yesterday morning, but
they were quite unimportant.
Kate Mason, the ebony damsel who, night
before last, in male attire, raised row at the
National Thsater, was sentenced to the
County Jail for twenty days. 1t is to be
hoped the punishment will teach her to ap-
pear hearafter only in the habilinents Of hel
sex, for even in them she is superlatively I'm.
prepossessing and disagreeabls.
Henry Riley, the wretch who was arrested
night before last for throwing tumbler at
his wife and nearly killing his child, was
fined So and costs. Our contempt for the
class Of men who abuse their families, is so
so great that we could almost wish it could
be punished as capital offense; for we are
vnced that the world would be less bad with
out them.
A couple named Charles Perry and Louisa
White, who occupy relationship which, uu-
recognized by law, is deemed the lowest form
of degradation by society, day before yes
terday quarreled, and in doing SO broke their
furniture and each others heads. An officer,
who happened to be near, arrested and
lodged them both in the stasion.house. Yes
terday morning Judge Lowe sentenced Louisa
for ten and Charles for three days to the City
Prison.
