THE NEW FOOD SOURCE.

SEA MOSS FARINE.-This new and
elegant preparation, made from Irish Moss,
or Caragreen, is conceded to be the cheap
est, healthiest and most delicious food in
the world As delightful table dessert it
hos no equal, and it is light and delicate
food for invalids and children. It is su2e-
rior to all kindred preparations.
This new article of food has everywhere
won ''golden opinions" of all sorts of peo-
pie, and the house-heepers of the land gems
orally regard it in the double light Of q
staple necessary and delicious luxury, for
while it lessons the expense Of living, the
exquisite dishes prepared from it cannot be
obtained even at an extravagant cost from
any other source. For % cents you can buy
a package which VIII make sixteen quarts of
Blanc Mango, and like quantity of Pud-
dings, Custards, Creams, Charlotte Russo,

Mr. Stanton in this statement accounts
for ali the extra duty men, the sick in
field hospitals and camp, the sick in gen
eral hospitals, prisoners and men on fur
Tough, and the men absent without leave,
and shows, exclusive of all these, an ag-
gregate available force present for duty on
the LIST of May, 1864, of &c., 345, of
which there were 100, $50 in the Army of
the Potomac, under Meade, and 90, $50 in
the Ninth Corps, under Burnside, making
an aggregate available force present for
duty under Grant, on the north side of
the Rapidan, on the 1st Of May, 1854, of
al, loo, officers and men. Now, l ask
what in lUCement was there, on the LIST
day of May, 1854, Just two days before
Grant began his movement across the
Rapidan, and foU-sdsys before the COM
mencement Of the battle in the Wilder
ness, for heoflicers commanding Grants
corps, Intentionally to mistake OF mis-
Lead in regard 10 their available force,
in the official reports which they made, OF
for Grant to give countenance to such
Misrepresentation by forwarding the re-
ports; OF for Stanton TO mislead the Con-
gress and the country in December, S65,
in regard to the strength of Grants army3
Does not this statement of Mr.. Stanton's,
taken from the official reports filed in the
War Office, conclusively show that Gen.
Badeau hss made great mistake, to say

But the latter says that 'to make out

in the estimate of his strength. Let US
see how this is. Now, Mr.. Stanton shows
that there was in the Department of

FARM AND GARDEN.
AMERICAN VTNrcUr.TrRI,


The war in Europe is bringing Ameri-
can Viniculture into prominence which,
under other circumstances, it would have
required great many years to attain.
Not only in California is the business
being thus rapidly promoted, but in some
of the middle States, as Ohio, and in the
lower Mississippi Valley, and even in as
high latitude as the shore of Lake Erie,
fresh enterprises in connection with wine
grapes are being undertaken. In the
town of Portland, in the upper part of
New York, contiguous to Lake Erie, 100,-
900 gallons of wine have been produced
this season, and we understand that in
nearly a score of wine producing
centers on the Northern lakes and
Western rivers, pure light wines of
fine flavor can be procured at prices vary
ing from 81 to $l.50 a gallon, superior
to most of the light German and French
wines that are sold in the American mar
ket, which are said to be fortified before
expectation by the addition of brandy ''to
suit the American taste" The demand is
so great fer American wines that it is
difficult to find two-year old stock in
any of the cellars, and the supply hardly
keeps pace with the demand. What is
needed is more vineyards and more wine
cellars in America. In Europe, over
thirteen millions of acres are devoted to
the grape vine. In the United States we
have scarcely sixty thousand acres east of
the Rocky Mountains, though among
our American grapes there are some pos
sessing great marit for wine making.
Good palatsble wines can be procured
abroad at from % to 30 cents a gallon;
and there is no reason why American
wines may not ultimately be produced
and sold at correspondingly low figures.

This table, which must be understood
as giving the returns at the close of the
months specified, Is believed to be cor
rect transcript as far as it gives the actual
monthly returns which were made, but it
is manifestly wrong where the estimates
OF the writer of the letter are given in
lieu Of the returns-which estimates are
put IN brackets in the letter itself. This
is especially the case in regard TO the esti-
mates for the months of June and August,
1862, and for the month of June, 1868.

Does 1t Pay to Advertise ?

If you have any doubts about 1t, the only
way TO find out is to give it fair trial, and as
certain whether it does or not.
From every section of the country come tes-
timonials Of the advantages derived from q
well regulated system of advertising. A surer
or safer investment for business men cannot
well be imagined. Il puts them before the
public in q beneficial light; "they become
known and read of all men," and reap an
abundant harvest from the seed thus sewn
There can be no doubt Of the fact; patrons de-.
clare it; newspapers assert il, and experience
conclusively proves il. Here are few cases
gathered from various sources illustrating this
point:

inc at the very top of their power, as if
fred by an ecstacy OF gladness. This
great gush of song lasts from twenty min
ntes to half an hour, and then ceases al
most as simultaneously as it begun. The
birds seem then to occupy themselves with
their toilet and breakfast. After which,
but in a far less general way, they sing,

Of the mosphere, it is probable, has
much to do with this inspiration of song
While it is true that all song-birds have
their greatest impulse of song at morning
and evening, there is great difference
among birds as to intermediate hours.
The meadow lark, the bobolink, the field
sparrow, song-sparrow, linnets and inches,

than do many others.

along walls well fringed with shrubs and
vines, or in garden or orchard where
birds resort, he will have an opportunity
of hearing many conversations which, If
he could interpret them, would show
what is going on in birds minds. There
are low notes of various kinds that are to
birds what conversation is to men. There
are expressions of fondness, of caution and
of alarm.
There are call notes, notes of curiosity,
coaxing notes, notes of aversion, of fear
and of displeasure. There is no reason to
suppose that birds communicate connect
ed ideas as men do, but that their feelings
and wishes are communicated by sounds,
there can be no doubt. 1t is an inarticu-
late and interjeotional language, and not
at all to be COMPOUNDED with song.
The tendency to express inward states
of feeling is clearly discernable among
birds and animals, and although it is the
merest rudiment, it seems like the unde-

vast proportions in the human race.

People who have been born and bred in

cept as they hear canaries or, other
feathered prisoners sing from cages, who

be despised, but it is not the singing of
free wild birds.
Even those who live III tsa eoantry sell

pie are in bed when the great concert

again it is worth his while to be awaken

is nothing else in all the common pheno.

and so increasingly interesting as this
Birds do not sing alike at all hours of
