Soil FOR THE GRAPE. 1t is a curious
fact that very rich and highly manured land
has rarely produced grape that would yield
high quality of wine. The grape that
contains the most saccharine matter will
make the best wine. srrl the different vare-
ties diffsr widely in the proportion of sugar
In Italy and in Sicily the very finest and
sweetest grapes grow on the rocky rubbish
OF volcanoes, and those that grow on loose
rocky soils or along hillsides covered with
rocks are often the best These facts ought
to teach US not to select the richest soils,
and not to stuff them with organic manures,
for the grape. Il Exchange. ..- ~. ,....
Grape vines seldom need any manure, ex
cept ashes or lime, if tbe soil is thoroughly
cultivated, and all weed and grass, near the
vines are kept. subdped. One, Of the most
fruitful causes Of midew is the application
Of too mach stimulating manure to the grow

President LincOIn's Remalns

On the occasion of the removal of
President Lincoln's body 10 its final
resting place in the Oak Ridge Gene
terry at Springfield, ILL.,, the casket con-
tanning the remains was opened by
some of the State authorities, and the
face was viewed through the glass
covering. A correspondent of the
st. Louis Democrat says:
"The features ofthe deceased we're scarce.
" discernable the e,nbalmmcnt seeming to
have offered but little, If anv. resistance to
the encroachments Of corruption; and the
piece of clay that once lived, and moved,
and talked, and was known as Abraham
Lincoln, is being fast dissolved 'rafter
from rafter and beam from beam and the
particles Of which it was curiou$ly com,
pounded are rapidly returning to their eriei
nal elements"
The body was deposited in the new
sepulcher prepared for its reception
and was securely fastened from all fu
ture visitation by the erection of solid
masonry, the seal of the National Mon
ument Association having been affixed
to the door. .. 4ia4 U.s X
