Among the innumerable wonders

Among the innumerable wonders
of the Pacific Slope the mammoth
grape vine of Santa Barbara, Cali
fornia, deserves notice. Seventy
years ago it was the riding whip OF
a spanish donna, one of the earliest
settlers of Santa Barbara, presented
by her lover. Now it spreads its
branches over an area of more than
five thousand square feet, and pro-
duces annually from ten to twelve
thousand pound of grapes. Besides
it grows an offspring vine, twelve
years old, fully as prolific as the
parent stem, and with their branches
interwine those of a very fine tig
tree. The donna who formerly
owned this vine and the land on
which it grows died recently at the
ripe age of 105 years. Before her
death she conveyed this portion OF
her property to Mr.. Server, of Can
ton, Ohio, who proposes to give the
vine the care which 1t very much
needs. This grape vine Is said to
be twice as large as the famous vine
at FOntainbleau, in France, and
larger than any found among the viii
las in the vicinity of Rome. Alto
gether it is one of the wonders OF
the world and affords 8 most strik-
ing example of the wonderful Vege-
table growth of the Pacific coast

BOY LOst-The Owner of $4,000
Wanted.

About five years ago a youth, ap-
parently fifteen or sixteen years of
age, called at the publishing house
of John Z. Potter & Co., in Phila-
delphia, and offered q manuscript
story for publication. Mr.. Potter,
the head of the firm, who happened
to be in at the time, smiled at the
idea of one so youthful aspiring to
appear in literature as the author of
a book; but finally, at the urgent re-
quest of the boy, consented TO keep
the manuscript few days and look
it over. When he had done so he
was convinced that the story, while
evincing lack of polished educa-
ton on the part of the boyish au-
thor, possessed considerable merit
as an exciting novel, some of the
scenes being described with won
derful power; and, after consulting
with the other members of the
house, decided to publish it. When
the youth called a few days after
ward he told him of his conclusion,
and it was agreed that the author
should receive a royalty of en- cents
q copy on all sold. The story was
duly published in book form, under
the title Of White Rocks, and since
that time 10000 copies have been
sold. But what is singular about it
is that the youthful author has new
er been seen or heard of since, and
there is now due him the sum Of
$l7, 900 as copyright on his story.

OUR LIBERALS.

1t is announced that the Liberal
Republicans of this county will send
a delegation TO the Cincinnati Con-
vention. We are glad to hear it.
We do not know who they are, but,
since they are in opposition to Grant,
il is all right. The opponents of
opinion, can fraternize with them,
aud clasp hands in solemn pledges
to restore an honest administration
of the Government. If there be
Liberal Republicans in Tennessee,
let them come to the front, for by
that sign they will be recognized as
honest politicians and undoubted
patriots. They are not asked to
adopt Democratic tenets, nor do
they expect Democrats to fall into
their party views. In the presence
of one gigantic issue, is no apprO-
pirate place to fish up minor aues-
tions, and no time for citizens to
palaYer about creeds. By the sue
cess of the Liberal movement the
Democracy will gain nothing that
every citizen will not gain There
will be no hot cakes for them after
the election of Davis, or the candi-
dates of the Liberals, whoever he
may be. There will be no warm
nests for them, and no high poles to
roOst on. They will back into the
drudgery currents of life and float
on with the great body of the peo-
pie. Cannot a Liberal Republican
cooperate, just one time, with such
men?-MeHlphiS Ledger.

Rowdyisn IN Dyer county Tenn.


We learn that on Saturday night
last, at the debating society, held at
the church five miles northeast of
Newbern, a serious disturbance was
created by the unexpected entrance
of five young by the name of Green
tho sons of brothers-who held
pistols in their hands, and commenc-
ed an indiscriminate firing; fortu-
ately, however, they hurt no one,
though they drove everybody from
the house. Before entering the
house they turned all the horses
loose with the exception of two
that were held by their owners.
They cut the throat of one horse
belonging to Mr.. Stockton. The
whole party, we understand, had
been drinking. They have been a
terror to that neighborhood for
some time, killing cattle and COM
mitting other depredations. Rev.
King Tigrett had an appointment to
preach Sunday morning at the
church mentioned, where a good
congregation assembled to hear him.
The Green boys came along, drove
the congregation out and converted
the church into a ballroom, but
left soon Mr.. Tigrett arrived, and
some of the congregation remained
to hear the sermon, which was de-
lived without molestation. The
news being received here Tuesday,
Messrs. Bert Tigrett and John Mich
OILS, Sheriff and Marshal, mounted
their horses and went in search of
the disturbers. They learned that
the Green boys were assisted in
their depredations by Messrs. Nc
Reynolds and McNeal, both of whom
together with one of the Green
boys, they succeeded in capturing
after enjoying a little chase. The
other four Greens are still at large.
The trio arrested gave bail.
Since writing the above three
more of the Green boys gave them
selves up at Newbern, two John
Green and Tom Green. Their trial
took place Tuesday before Squire
Williams. We could not learn the
result.-DyerS6urg Progress.
