10 answer to the letter of DR.. Hootee.
asking if non-bearing male grape vine
can be made to produce fruit by grating
upon it bearing vine of both sexes, Dr..
Rowland said be had had good success in
the grating of the grape vine by making
cuttings of other varieties. He desired to
propagate in the fall or early winter, by
placing them in box of damp sand in
cellar during the winter, and in an ice
house during the spring. When the vine
has got in full leaf in the spring, and when
1t will not bleed, be cuts the vine off below
the surface of the ground and inserts the
scion, and covers it with grating wax.

because its natural horrors swallow up

VELvETEEN, in all colors, is very
much worn for ladies' garments, but
black is the most preferred. Some of
this material is made so fine that an
expert cannot distinguish it from silk
velvet. For street wear, indeed, by
ladies of great wealth, even, it is Sc
ected rather than silk velvet, being
considered more appropriate. Moth
ing can be handsomer than tastefully
made suit of black velveteen,a with
overskirt, all profusely trimmed with
grebe or sealskin. The latter fur looks
neater, and is more fashionable.

THE reason of the strange disappear
ance of Samuel Houston, III the early
part of his life. when he left lovely
bride and the governorship Of Tennes-
see and exiled himself among the Indi-
ans for many years, has lately been re-
vealed. He discovered, few hours
after his marriage, that his wife did not
love him, but had been urged into the
match ay an ambitious family, while
loving another man. He at once re-
tired from the house, and by his subse-
quent exile gave the lady right to the
divorce which she obtained.
