requested q room to sleep in; but the
landlord said they were entirely full
and that it was impossible to accom-.

the sofa and himself on the floor, but
would see what his wife could do for
him. The good woman, on being ap
piled to, said there was room which be

to the conditions, wig: to enter the
room late in the morning to prevent
scandal, as the room was occupied by a
lady. This he agreed to do. Abont two
o'clock in the morning an awful noise
was heard in the house, and our friend,
the traveller, was tunbling heels over
head down stairs. The landlord, upon
arriving at the spot, inquired what. the
matter was. The traveller calculated
as sooa as he was able to speak:

Senator Wilson.

Mr.. Senator Wilson is endeavoring to create
the impression that he has been, "for thirty
years." consistent in his present position on
the subject of slavery. Perhaps so. In the
appendix to the Congressional Globe, volume
81, ID session, Thirty-third Congress, page 28S
we find the following in q speech by Henry
wilson,
ave believe that slavery in the States is a
local institution that we are not responsible
for its existence, and that we have no legal
authority to interfere with it in any way what.

people of the States where it now exists. |

A Suggestion.

The New York Herald offers the following
in connection with the tour Of Senator Wilson.
Says the Herald:
"Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, COM
mencesin day or twoapostolc journey through
the benighted region Of the late Southern Con-
federacy. He sets out with all the fervor and
much Of the eloquence of ST. Paul and, rs that
great apostle Of the Gentiles traverscd the ends
of the earth, endeavorins to bring all men into
the folds of Christianity, so our American mis-
sonary has undertaken to preach the doctrines
of the republican party, all the way from Wash
ington to New Orleans, to all ranks and condi-
tions of men, of whatever shade Of politics or
complexion.
"This tour will certainly be Of great public
interest and may become a noteworthy his
torical event In order to make it the more SC
we suggest that prominent Southern orator
shall accompany this Massachusetts, Senator,
ard present to the same audience and from the
same platform the arguments on the opposite
side of the question, so that every colored Cate
in the crowd may be able to say
"My life and death, my bane and antidote,
Are both before me-"
And no Southern man now occurs TO US bet
ter qualified to play the part thus assigned than
Henry A. Wise, the eloquent but erratic ex-Go-
vernon of the Old Dominion. Let, then, the
two Henrys, the Massachusetts, Wilson and the
Virginia Wise, make this tour in company, tn,
rival representatives Of opposite IDEAS, aud We
venture to promise them tue largest daily au
dicnces that ever orators commanded"

A QUEER WuL.-We have heard of a rath-
er queer will which was Lately admitted to pro-
bate in one of the counties bordering on the
upper Cumberland. A wealthy old citizen had
two sons, one of whom was in the Fedora!
army, and the other in the rebel ranks. Du-
ring the early part of the war the old gentle
man was taken suddenly i'll, and wishing IL
divide his property equally between his two
sons, bequeathed to Henry, the Federal soldier J
all his slave property, embracing about fifty
negroes, and to Thomas the boy in gray, his
entire landed estate. He died, and thus the
will stands. Both brothers lived to return from
the war, and the gallant soldier OF the lost
cause being perfectly satisfied that slavery was
no more. generously divided the lands with his
brother, and both are living happily together
and are bitterly opposed to the Radical pro-
cramme.-NdskriHe Gazette.

Conoyer Sentenced.

Conover, who was convicted Of perjury i'll
the Lincoln assassination trial, was Thursday
sentenced at Washington, to ten years impri-
sonment in the Albany penitentiary.
Before passing sentence, Judge Fisher ad-
dressed the prisoner upon the enormity of his
offence, and reminded him that he had made a
very narrow escape from the .haugmau's rope,
for if the perjuryof which he was convicted
had resulted in the capital punishment Of any
one, he would have been liable TO trial and con-
viction on the charge of murder. COnover, it
will be remembered, was not tried and convict
ed for perjury based upon the testimony given
by him before the military commission which
convicted the assassination conspirators, and
which conviction resulted in their execution,
but of perjury in testifying before the Judicia-
~ Committee Of the House of Representatives
in relation to certain evidence given at the time
of the assassination trials. Had he been tried
and convicted of perjury in direct connection
with his testimony before the military commits
sion. it would lave Jared much worse with
him.-Ndtiondl Intelligencer.

An INCREDIBLE HAY CRoP.-The Netc
England Fdrmer is responsible for the report
that an acre and half of poor land in St
Johnsbury, Vermont, produced thirteen and
half tons of fine timothy hay this season. The
land was plowed in August. 1865, top-dressed
with forty-fve loads Of yard manure, well har-
rowed and sown with three pecks Of timothy
seed, and fifteen pounds of clover seed and a
gain narrowed and rolled. 1t yielded eight
tons of timothy the last week in June, and
five and half tons more the first week in Sep
tember As much Italian grass has been
grown to the acre in England by the aid of
weekly libitations of sewage or liquid manure.
But anything like such crop of timothy has
never before been reported by the agricultural
press.-AmeTican Fdrmer

Old Times.

The thought comes stirring and saddening III
soul, as We look far back through the long, din
arches Of departed days, aud sec the green oasi
over which our feet once wandered, and to which
we never, no, never return.
There's beautiful song on the slumbrous air,
That drifts through the valley Of dreams;
IL comes from a cline where the roses were.
And tuneful heart ana bright brown hais
That waved in the morning beams
Soft eyes of azure and eyes of brown.
And snow-whitc forehesds are there:
A glimmering cross glittering crown,
A thorny bed and q couch Of down,
Lost hope and leaflets OF prayer.
A breath Of spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quivering pines
Blue violet ewes beneath green hoods.
4 bubble OF brooklets, scent Of buds.
Bird wstbcs and clambering vines.
A rosy wreath in dimpled hand.
A ring aud sigthed VOW
Three golden links OF broken bsrd,
A tiny track on the snow-whi,e sand,
A tear and a sinless brow.
There's tincture Of grief in the beautiful song
That sob, on the slumbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down in the soul as It trembles along,
From q cline where the roses were.
We heard il first at the dawn OF day,
And il mingled with matin chimes,
But years have dstanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody noweth from far away,
And we call il, now, Old Timer.

VINEYARDS.

A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer
gives the following account OF Grape Culture
by Marcus Buck, Esq i. near Front Royal, Va;
Mr.. Buck has eighteen or twenty acres in
vines, and is now putting in eight or ten acres
more. His ground is selected with reference
to soil and exposure--a light, rich soil, with a
southern or southeastern exposure being pre-
ferred. while steep hillside is especially desi-
rable. although Mr. b. has several orchards
which have northeastern exposure from
which he expects as good results as from those
looking TO the South
The ground is ploughed as deeply as posi-.
bic. The first plow is followed by large sub
soil and coulter, the ground is then checked off,
say four by six or six by eight feet, as may be
most desirable, depending in great measure on
the nature and character Of the ground Tho
remaining labor Of cultivation isvery small,
being simply the keeping Of the ground clean.
pruning the vines, and gathering the fruit
One hand can tend from fvo TO seven acres
with ease or say from 6,000 TO 5000 vines
making an expense Of say Sl2 TO 800 per aero
per annum for cultivation. An acre Of Cataw-
ba vines will yield tho third year from 400 10
500 gallons Of wine, worth in its unmapipula-
ted state, SO per gallon a product of from
81 200 to $1,000 per acre. In the hands Of
an experienced manipulation this wine, prepared
as sparkling Catawba," &C., and nicely bot
tied and labeled would bring much morc.-
Two hundred and fifty gallons per acre is an
ordinary yield the second year.
Mr.. B. does not use any fertilizers beyond
light barn-yard manure, swamp muck, &C.
Heating manures must be avoided. Mr. 3.
has travelled extensively with view Of &C
quainting himself with the grape culture slso-
where, aud it is his conviction that the Pied
mont section Of Virginia is better suited 10 tho
profitable cultivation Of the grape than tho
Western or Northern States. The rot which
often destroys the crop In the West is unknown
here, and the fruit natures two or three weeks
earlier than in the New York vineyards. Mr..
B. has heretofore cultivated tho "Catawba'
principally, but is now actively engaged in
planting the Concord" and the "Joes, ysrie-
ties which he deems superior to all others and
destined TO supercede them.
Mr. B. preserves his grapes as winter ap-
pies are kept, plump and sound until March.
Mr.. B. has also extensive peach orchards, from
which he gathered last year several thousand
bushels The success Of Mr.. Buck ha, induced
many others to initiate his example, and there
is every reason to suppose that ere many years.
the wine crop Of Virginia shall be one Of tho
most important Of her varied productions.
