WINE AT Two MILLIONS BoTTLE.-Wine at
two millions of dollars o bottle is drink that
in expense would rival the luxurious taste OF
barbaric splendor, when costly pearls were
thrown into the wine cup to give a rich flavor
to its contents. The French Courier speaks OF
a wine which graced the table of a king OF
Wurtenburg on late occasion, which was de-
posted i'm the cellar at Bremen two centuries
ago. One large case of the wine, containing
five Oxboft of 204 bottles, cost 500 rix dollars in
1924. Including the expense of keeping up the
cellar and of the contributions, interests of the
amounts, and interests upon interests, an exhoft
costs at the present time $50 ,657 $40 rix dol
lars and consequently a bottle is worth 2, 723,-
8l2 rix-dollars glass or, the eighth part of a
bottle, is worth 34O,476 rix-dollars, or $272,-
Per drop. A burgomaster of Bremen is privi-
legged to have one bottle whenever he entertains
a distinguished guest who enjoys German or
European reputation. The fact illustrates the
operation of interest, if it does not show the
cost of luxury.

VIRGINIA UNITY.

The Dispatch gives prominence to this
subject this morning but unfortunately
expends considerable useful ammunition
upon the past, without advising US to
profit by it. 1t seems desperately enam-
ored of its beauties and virtues, and yet is
SO tickle as to wish for something else to
love. This period has gone, never to re-
turn, and much as we may pride ourselves
upon what we ,cere, it becomes our duty
to keep our eyes open to the present and
future condition of our State.
The Dispatch still harps upon the Sc
rious injury the political aspect of Vir-
ginia has suffered we presume it refers
to the right Of voting being given to the
colored people, which has robbed the fine
old gentlemen of the State Of the power of
controlling her affairs entirely in their own
interests.
Political, like other sciences, must keep
up in the march of progress, and although
its rapidity may astonish the Dispatch, we
of more recent birth are prepared to see
great revolution in all branches Of science.
You must be stirred up with long pole,
and walked from your Rip Van Wrinkle
sleep, or the lightning express will be
gone before you get your face washed.
The Dispatch wants city of half mil
lion of inhabitants. So do we, and would
like to see Richmond the foundation 1t
fails to tell us how the wish is to be graft
fed. We can see much in the conduct of
the Dispatch to prevent the success of this
great object, and have SO frequently refer
red to the subject. that it is unnecessary to
do so again, at length.

Many ofour troubles Of the present day may
be traced directly to the proscriptive policy
of Democracy, as taught aud encouraged
by the leading talented men of the party,
whose opposition to progress is SO deter
mined aud Jealous, as to render the soil Of
Virginia extremely Improbable for its
sowing.
We shall hail with delight the day when
Virginia's sons will cast aside their bitter
and unjust prejudice, when they will real
ize that they are an hundred years behind
the times, that they are cold fogys," and
that other professions are more profitable
than opposition to the imam Of progress
His march may be slow, but it is certain ;
you must fall into ranks, get out of the
way, or be run over and crushed by the
advancing columns.

NORTHERN KINDNESS.

of the Pennsylvania Legislature passed to
second reading bill appropriatiDg S., 1000 for

"Gradually the snow melts and the ice
breaks up. We have found bat little kindness
and sympathy for these many years from that
| section"
The snow melts and the ice breaks up
generally as summer approaches, but in
Northern climates during aoiater they are
firm and hard.
This same snow would have melted an d
the ice disappeared long ago, but you have
been surrounding them with patent freezsrs
invented by the devil himself, turning and
twisting them until your old rusty machines
are SO nigh worn out that you arc satisfied
they are complete humbugs.
You found but little sympathy and
kindness from that section, because you
hunted in the wrong place. In our play
days we always hunted our ball where we
lost it, and if we would go Exactly where
we lost it, there we were sure to find it.
No people on earth ever exhibited the same
anxiety and solicitude to be kind to the
people of the South they have gone so
far as to thrust it upon them, but Eye
would not" There is some modesty about
every one, and if these. Northern people
had have continued urging you to accept
their kindness you would have declared
they were immodest
Let us make suggestion, Mr.. Enquirer,
now that you have mentioned this little
trifing circumstance. Take your acknowl-
edged ability with you to your editorial
sanctum, and advise your followers to meet
this kindness in similar spirit and our
word for it, your large paper will not be
able to contain the many similar exhibi-
tions you will be called upon to notice.

ceptance of our suggestion, or shall we

do, with carpet-bagger scalawag, niger,
