Manures for Grape Vines.

Strong or Stimulating manure is most dan
gerous to the vinous property of the grape.
The general rule in wine producing countries
is to manure only with its own cuttings. or
the refuse Of the grape when pressed, which
contain tartar, essential to the vinous pro-
perty of the grape Excessive richness of
the soil, though it gives larger crop, and
the best fruit for the table, detracts from the
character Of the wne There have been
several remarkable instances of this fact.
amongst Others, the celebrated vineyard Of
Johannisberg, which, some fifty years since,
having teen richly manured, it for several
years afterwards produced wine of en- inferior
character, and much deteriorated in quality.
1t took twenty years before the soil became
sufficiently poor to restore the vnous quality
OF the grape. Soils which produce choice
and rare wines are never manured with apy
description of fetid manure, generally ap.
piled for the purpose of tertiIizing land; but
wool, horn, bones, and the cuttings and re.
fuse of the vine itself, being only used. The
scientific botanist tells us that the vine only
takes up from the earth carbonic acid, am.
monia, ETC.; practice and experience, both
ancient and modern, affirm the contrary.

Catacombs of Palermo.

We find in one of our exchanges the fol-
lowi description Of one of the strange
sights at Palermo, the Siciian city which
has come into the possession Of the victori
Gus legions of Garibaldi:
1.-The strangest of all the strange sights at
Palermo are the Catacombs Of the Capuchina
We are all familiar with the character of
the Roman and Neapolitan catacombs, un
derground excavations, remarkable for their
great extent, and for their associations with
the history of the early church. The Palermo
catacombs have a frghtful popularity of
their own. You descend from the little
church, just outside the walls, not by deep
subterranean passages, but into a succession
of vaults, well lighted and of no greater
depth than an ordinary cellar. These vaults
are long and narrow corridors, on either side
of which, in inches cut out of the wall, ranged
IN ghastlv ranks are preserved the bodies
OF the dead, not confined out of sight, but
each in the garb appropriate to it while
living, or else in a long robe or winding
sheet. Below these inches are wooden coffins
with windows at the sides to show the faces
Of the occupants. Overhead near the cell
ing are skeletons Of children sitting, or of
men reclining; all perfectly preserved, some
wi h the skin still covering the bones, others
having nothing left but skull, and shoulders
ard rib bones, with the arms in front, pously
crossed. Some peculiarity of the soil pre-.
vents the ordinary decomposition, and men
buried nearly two hu,dred years ago. still
survive in this skeleton company. Strange
to say they are not permitted to rest in
peace. On the I'd Of November in every
year, the jour des morts, or festival Of the
dead, their relatives flock to this dismal
place, the well known mummies are taken
out of their glazed coffins and dressed in
gala costume. They number not less than
six thousand in all; and know of nothing
more dreadful than for a man to find himself
as did, Unexpectedly among the army of
dry bones.
"1he most horrible feature of the whole
exhibition is, that nearly every face wears in
and comic expression. The black. .lustre eye.
sockets, which gaze down upon you, have
sort of grim vitality of their own and through |
the entire array it seems as if there was a
dunn inteligence-a minute correspondence
and sympathy-in the sinister and almost
wicked way in which they return the curious
stare of the ntruders. Yet you cannot help
staring in spite of all this, and your eve
wanders from one group to another, with
strange and morbid fascination.
"Somc are largelimbed, thick-skulled,
in their preservation; others who
seemed to have twisted and wriggled their
joints loose, and must stand perpetualy still |
or fall to pieces; others, with their ruined
heads hang down, as if in contemplation of
their ended earthly life; and Others indffer.
ent and idle, some indignant, like the ghost
Daute saw in hell, with scowls and grns
silent, epulchral almost in
fernal"

ANOTHER BArrLE.--It will be remember
ed that the last intelligence left the Allies at
Fungchow, some ten miles from Pekin. Il
seems that they were disappointed in the
expectation of compromise, for a letter
dated at Shanghae, Oct. 9th, says. "As 1
was coming down the Wosung river passed
dispatch boat from the Peiho, bound up,
and from the reporter, who afterwards
boarded my vessel l obtained the following
information: There had been severe en-
gagement within ten miles of Pekin lat
Fungchow,) where the lmperialisis had con.
centrated their forces, and after long fighting
the Allies had been victorious. The killed
on both sides was supposed to be about 49,
