THE SouPpERNoNG GRAPE.-A writer in
the Mississippi Clarion says the Scupper-
nong grape is the most remarkable in the
known world and possesses more good
qualities and less imperfections than all
others combined. The writer, who is Mr.
j. NJ. d. Miller of Iuks, Mississippi, adds
1T is of southern origin, and is destined
to revolutionize grape growing and wine
making in America. 1t yields more than
any other vine, often producing annually
from twenty five to fifty bushels of choice,
sweet, delicious, rich, lucious, fragrant
grapes, of large, round form. 1t is excel
lent for table fruit, for desert, for preserv.
ing, or for market, and will keep late There
are three varieties, white, black, and yellow,
each yielding choice berries and magnificent
wine. DR.. jackson, the well known chemist
of the East, says: The Scuppernong wine
can be made so fine as to excel all others on
this continent 1t needs no pruning, no
training, it never mildcws, never rots, and
never fails to yield crop. 1t will grow any
where that corn or cotton will. One acre
of vines will pay better than one hundred
| IN corn or cotton. Two or three vines pro-
duce fruit enough for an ordinary family
a single vine will make from one to two
barrels of wine, 1t will grow and fruit for
hundred years. 1t is cmphatically the
poor mans friend. Every man who owns u
rod of ground should own a Scuppernong
vine. 1t is the grape of all grapes"

Exploration of the Holy Land.

The committee in charge of the Palestine
Exploration Fund continues its labors with
marked success, by enlisting the services of
Captains Warren and Wilson and Lieuten-
ant Anderson as civil engineers. More than
1000 square miles have been accurately sur
veyeG, more than 800 photographs taken,
plans drawn of synagogues and ancient
buildings, and in the first expedition no
fewer than 40 sites astronomically fixed.
AT present the committee is concentrating
its attention on Jerusalem, the interest in
which may be said to sum up the interest
in all other places. AS truly remarked in
the Saturday Review,"It is the Holy City of
Jew, Of Moslem, and of Christian alike"
With the two heights, Zion on the west,
and Moriah on the east, and with the val
ley between, the researches of the Explora-
tion Fund have been as yet principally con-
cerned. Zion was the city of David, the
site of the palaces and tombs of the Kings.
Moriah is the site of the temple, now oc-
cupied by the Mosque of Omar. The cy-
clopean walls supporting the temple have
been traced through the accumulate ruins
and rubbish to a depth varying from 60 to
90 feet, and the wall itselfhas been shown
to have reached l76 to 1S0 feet. The whole
rock must have been honeycombed with
aqueducts, cisterns, channels and passages
"It is something to sec at last the mighty
front ofthe Temple rocks as the Twelve saw
it when they maryelled at the great stones
which were still fresh from the chisel of
! Herod."

Mr.. WEBSTER, in his day and in his pre-.
ductions, was the recognized "expounder
of the Constitution" In a speech delivered
by him in the United States Senate, on
February 16, 1886, he made use of argu-
ments identical with those employed by
The supporters of the Tenure of Office law
now, as will be seen from the following
extract
~ think, then, sir, that the power of ap-
pointment naturally and necessarily includes
the power of removal, where no limitation
is expressed, nor any tenure but that at will
declared. The power disappointment being
conferred ON the President and Senate, /
think the power of removal went along
with it, and should have been regarded as a
part of it and exercised by the same hands
81 think the Legislature possesses the
power of regulating the condition, duration,
qualification, and tenure of Office in all
cases where the Constitution has made nc
express provision on the subject. / am
therefore, of opinion, that it is competent
for Congress to declare by law, as one quail
ification of the tenure of Office, that the in
cumbent shall remain in place till the Presi
dent shall remove him, for reasons to b'
stated to the Senate. And am of opinion
that this qualification, mild and gentle a.
it is, will have some effect in arresting the
evils which beset the progress of the Gov
erument, and seriously threaten its future
prosperity"

POETICAL.
A LOCK OF GRAY HAIR.

An earthly relic, left to us OF one
OF whom all other mortal trace has gone;
still held Of the dear form she bore,
Looking as it may oft have looked of yore,
Ere she had trodden on the unknown shore.
Yet not the same-thereis Is mist of tears,
OF tender memories of bygone years
A sense of grief and loss, 'noath which we bow,
That hangs around that sacred relic now,
Unthought of when it lay upon her brow.
Ah beautiful It is, though earthly She was fair
As even few of earth's gifted daughters are;
And yet the mold her form was fashioned in
Was but the spirits true interpreting,
She Kings daughter, GLORIOUS within"
There seems to fall upon this tress Of gray,
Light, as from another, purer day,
A day to which she mounted through the night
OF earthly trial as the locks grew white,
The soul was stretching forward to the light.
And now the hill is climbed, the day is clear;
The shades of death, through which We cannot peer
Encircle US, not her-ours Is the gloom,
The darkness, and the mystery Of the tomb,
Through which the spectres that alright us loom
Here is a glorious Resurrection Life
Battling with death, triumphant in the strife.
We mourn her loss, weep for her vacant place,
And love her every footstep to retracc,
While she rests nobly, having won the race.

House T. ntered by an Army of Rats.

A couple of nights ago small army of
rats, seemingly met together by concert,
created no small sensation in the house of q
poor woman on Elizabeth street, by very
singular proceeding. The woman was lying
in bed asleep with her two little ones, when
she was aroused by the screams OF the chill
dred. On awaking she was horrifed to find
the bed fairly covered with rats, while the
floor of the loom was almost black with
them. Her children at her side were scream
ing wildly, not alone through terror, but
through pain also, for the vermin had seized
them by the nose, ears and checks, and
were rapidly settling themselves down on
every part of their faces. Or course, with
q mothers instinct, the woman Immediately
rescued her little ones, while the rats scam
pered of in all directions and quickly dis
appeared. The faces of the children were
cut and bleeding in several places, and the
wounds of the nose of one of them were
so serious that DIR. Lawler was called In
and in his hands the little ones have beer
we'll cared for, and are now doing well.-
| 1t is supposed that the invasion was caused
| hy the heavy rains that prevailed at the tlme
which, flooding the drains and other places
! in which the rats make their homes, drove
them out and forced them to seek food ane
shelter elsewhere. Had the children oeeI
alone they would certainly have been cater
alive, as the rats were around them IN nun
dreds and would shortly have attacked
their throats, when death would have result
ed in very few minutes.-10roato 1ele

Marriage is the crucible of love. Not only
does it test, beyond all doubt, how much Of
dross has gone to make up the composition,
but it brings to light various other ingre.
dients, the existence of which, but for this
melting process would never be imagined.
A very dull man should not indeed marry
very clever woman; nothing is more sad
than to see wife panied by the stupidity
of her mate; but it is only in public that
she suffers, and because of the lockers on !:
for her part, she would rather hear the
mouse squeak lin her own house,) than the
most gifted of skylarks carol abroad. All
dull men should therefore marry as soon as
possible, if it were but to secure an audience.
And not only dull men. What evil ex-
perience (and cynical and base opinions de-
rived from them) do those escape who marry
young. How often does the dissolute or
world worn man put off till it is too late that
yearning after home and rest and faithful
love, which he calls "a determination to set
tlein life!" do not speak of elderly widow
ers, who, when they lose wife, seem to lose
their right hand, and are no moro to be
blamed for marrying again than an armless
soldier for getting the best substitute pro-
curable in place of the missing limb but
with respect to bachelors who marry late in
life, they run great risk.

RHUBARB-THE WINE EPLANT.-The "Lin-
naeus Wine Plant" which has been palmed
upon the public the last three or four
years by designing spcculators, who have
gathered crops of hundreds of thousands
of dollars from their victims-is no more
than the common rhubarb plant, or variety
of it, which is no better or worse, to be
found in almost every garden. At best
that is, as an article used for pies and sauce
coming as it does before everything else
in that line-we cannot recommend il. We
do not believe it to be wholesome when
immoderately eaten. This is the opinion
of many others beside ourselves. We use
it sparingly two or three times season and
no more. Our markets are full Of it, and it
is less paatable and less wholesome after
being pluolled two or three days before
using, as is frequently the case.-German'
topn Teleqraph.
