American Wines.

About dozen years ego merchant in
Philadelphia was called upon by an agent
who tried to sell him wine made in Amer
lea, but failed The idea that wine of
home manufacture was fit for connois.
seur was then considered huge joke, and
the merchant and his friends had hearty
laugh over it. To-day the same gentle
man is among the largest purchasers of
native wine in the country. This is a
fair example CT the change which has
been wrought in public opinion in regard
to what is already an important branch
of industry by the energy and perseyer-
ance of few men.
Longworth's extensive vineyards and
those of Kelley's Island are well know n,
but it is only lately that the wines pro-
dueed thers have, to any extent, taken a
position of rivalry with Heidsick and
Veuve Clicquot. Now, however, the
banks Of the Ohio and the shores of Lake
Erie are covered with vines, and the stur-
dy Teuton imsgines himself again on the
Rhine as he gathers his grapes for the
wine press. California has recently be-

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, April 10.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
Editor Rutland Herald - Beautiful,
springlike weather has dawned upon us,
and nature is fast preparing herself to
put on her garments of beauty, while the
air already seems to be perfumed with the
breath Of spring. Dust (which this city
is subject TOY is the only obstacle in the
full weather. In short, with us, every
thing seems ready to throw off its dreary
aspect, and leap into nswness of life and
beauty.
In my last letter mentioned the action
of the colored citizens of the First Ward
upon the ratification of the fifteenth
amendment To-day they are out in a
grand demonstration from all parts of the
district, and am just told that the pro-
cession has been nearly an hour passing a
given point. Guns are being fred from
the "white LOT sonth of the executive
mansion, and unlimited rejoicing with
them seems to be the order of the day
1t was first intended to postpone this
jubilee until the anniversary of the eman-
oipation proclamation, when they would
skill! two birds with one stone," but po-
iitical management having been connect
ed with the ceremony, the programme has
been changed Gen. A. Grant, command
er of the Boys in Blue,' had arranged
Tor grand torch-iight procession to take
place on the evening of the 10Th, as po-
litical movement against the reelection OF
Mayor Bowen ut the coming election,
hence Mr.. Bowen took warning and or
dered out his friends in advance of the
shrewdness of Mr. Grant; but these "cul-
lud pussons" being extremely fond OF
marching to the mnsic of the band, will
undoubtedly fall 10 with the General on
Friday night, and if the weather admits
they will have glorious time. 1t Is
amusing to watch their movements in
politics. Registration is now going on
in the different wards, and scenes and in
cidents there to be beheld are almost be-
yond description. I can't help thinking
what feeling of wrath it must create in
the minds of that portion of our citizens
who once reioiced over the institutions of
slavery, and who 80 unwillingly consented
to remove their iron rule of oppression
from the neck of these human beings
whom the law of justice has declared free
and independent.

FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1870.
The Annual Fast.

In accordance with an established
custom in New England, the Governor OF
this Commonwealth has designated to-
day to be observed as a day of fasting and
prayer, recommending that all the people
abstain from all secular employments,
and assemble in their several places of
public worship, for suitable religious SER
vices for the purpose of a renewed conse-
Grafton of our lives to the work Of the
Great Master, and asking by our penance
and devotion continued prosperity to the
land in which we dwell. These special OBJ
servances on the part of apeople indicate
their faith and trust in the mercies of a
superintending Providence, and their
penitence for past sins, and their willing
ness to ask pardon and remission pledg-
ing anew their vows to the Lord and
Saviour of all mankind.
The Governor has very properly select
ed this day, commonly called "Good Fri
day." as the period of the annual fast, as
large body of Christians of several de-
nominations have, from the beginning OF
the Christian era, observed the close OF
the Holy Week as fast in their several
churches. This regard for the views of a
large number of the people of the State
is considerable and their due. The pres
emit week is called "Holy Week." and is
intended to commemorate the most I'M
portant epoch in our Savior's life-his
passion, death and burial. Good Friday
is commemorative of the cruciGxion. In
the Catholic churches, the special services
of the day are the Alteration of the Cross
by both priests and people, the former OF
whom PROSTATE themselves before the
crucified image and remain'for some time
In silent alteration of the Great Redeem
err whom it typiies. In the Episcopal
churches it is observed as solemn fast
the close of the Lenten season. The re-
ligious keeping of the day by all denomi-
nations of Christians, either by the estab-
lished usage of their church, or by the
appointment of the Chief Magistrate of
the Commonwealth, makes it solemn
and appropriate ceremonial, where all in
obedience to their several customs can
Join in its general obs ervance.
