Wine Making.

When in Portugal, the Hon. Eli
Slfer, of Union county, learned some
thing Of wine making and ho thus
tells about il in letter to the LeDiS.
burg Chronicle. II the information
here impaired is not encouraging TO
epcurcs, it is no faults Of ours:
Portugal has long been famous for
its wine. At Lisbon l witnessed tho
process Of manufacture, and | must
say not TO the increase of appetite for
the article. The grapes are thrown
into a vat, and with bare feet tramped
into pulp. To see these fat, pussy
people almost knee deep in grape
juice, putting and blowing under their
task till their grape stained legs are
streaked with sweat, rolling down and
intermingling with the embryo vino,
is not particularly appetizing. have
sometimes sat at table aud been not u
little Disguised to witness how the
wine- wise smack their lips and talk
knowingly aud most wisely Of the
aromatic flavor of this wine, the rich
bouquet Of that, and the nutty oiliness
of the other. | am rather inclined
to think that these finely drawn and
exquisite shades Of fragrance that con.
noiseurs discover, depend somewhat
npon the temperature Of the day
when the wine was made, and per-
haps as much upon the leanness or
iatnoss, and the filth or cleanliness Of
the persons who have made it. ]
have no question that if work about
our barn yards and farms was done
barefooted, as it is here, and the good
housewife was to use the evenings
footbatlr to make tea for her next
days party there would be general
adjusting of spcctaclcs, as peculiar
sniffs of noses, and perhaps quite as
sage remarks by the old ladies on the
rich aroma Of the dclectable beverage
before them, as you hear in compa
ny of ofwinc.snobs, who measure q mans
gcntility by tho number of brands OF
wine he can distinguish, and the flip
pant fuency with which he can discuss
their nice shades OF difference.

The New York Bulletin, in estimating the
business prospects of 1872, points out a marked
contrast in many matters with the opening
months of 1871. By this time last year cur
rency had drifted to New York after the great
crop movements to the amount Of SIS, roc, 900;
this year it has reached only $G,000o00. Last
year there was plethora of funds available on
call loans; this year the rate of interest has ad-
vauced fully two per cent This year the New
York banks report an increase of liabilities, in
Guiding deposits and circulation, of nearly four
million dollars and decrease in their surplus
of specie and legal tenders over their legal re-
serve, of over fourteen millions The same in-
crease of liabilities and decline Of available re-
sources is shown in the bank returns of Boston
and Philadelphia.

ALEXANDRIA,. VA.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II

A bill has been introduced in the Senate OF
Virginia by Mr.. Anderson, Of Rockbridge, an
active and useful member Of that body, entitled
ILL, requiring ltigauts in the courts Of the
Commonwealth to contribute to the payment Of
the costs Of litigation 1t provides for the
taxing separately in the trial Of civil causes in
the costs of every suit or motion, at law, or III
chancery. in which there shall be Judgment
or decree for the payment of money as Com
monwealth's costs, two per centum upon so
much Of the aggregate amount Of, every such
Judgment or decree rendered by such court as
shall not at the date of the rendition thereof
exceed FIVE hundred dollars and one per cen
tum upon so much thereof as shall be in excess
of five hundred dollars. Where there shall be
Jury empanneled for the trial Of the same, in
addition to the costs above specified, there shall
be also taxed as Commonwealth jury costs,
ten dollars for each day or fraction of day.
Mr. Anderson's idea is that a State ION the
verge of reputation cannot afford to make
litigation so costly to herself and cheaper to the
parties who engage in it, than it is in the
weather. States of Ohio aud New York, and
the object of this bill is to increase consider.
ably the revenue Of the State.
Of the three departments constituting our
State government the judicial, from it's ma
ture,is clothed with more dignity and possessed
of more stability than either the executive OF
legislative can be. 1t is that of last npsort to
determine the legal effect and force Of legsla-
tive or executive acts, and any legislation tend
ing to impose burdens upon the administration
of the law, not equally borne by the other depart
ments, is induced by a misconception of the
principles upon which the government is found
ed The judiciary is established and main
tained by the State for the good of the people,
and not to be supported by any class of individ-
uals as a source of revenue to the State. Any
citizen who goes into a court Of justice to en-
force remedy or defend from wrong is entitled
to receive that justice which the government
compact guarantees, with his reasonable and
necessary costs; but ought not to be required to
pay the State bonus for it.
If the State is to receive revenue through
the judicial department Of the government,
for the administration of justice and the con-
STRUNG Of laws, why not also through the Leg
islative for the making Of laws? Any reason
which demands the former, will, upon principle,
apply with more force to the latter

ABOUT THE ''PUFFGNG' BUSINESS. Era
tuitous notices are looked upon by the mass Of
the reading public as due to all who patronize
a ewspaper--whether it be as a heavy advertl
ser or as a subscriber. 1t is not usually remem-
bered that the local columns are the most val
liable to advertisers, because they are the first
read by everybody, aud no publisher can give
them up to putting this man patent mahogany
sausage suffer or that ones new tangled,
double and twisted stump puler, for nothing,
and board himself Publishing newspaper is
legitimate business, and the newspaper man
should have pay for his labor the same as a
man who carries the hod or yields the hammer
in blacksmith shop 1t costs much money,
time, and vast deal of patience to publish a
newspaper, yet no class Of men are expected to
do as much for as little pay as the publishers.
Much of this service, whether valuable or
worthless, arises from thong htlcssness by those
who apply for it. They would not think OF
asking carpenter to work Il day or two for
nothing, or expect grocer to give them a
ham because they had bought bushel Of po-
tatoes nor would they expect, because a
banking house has piles of money lying idle in
it's vaults, they could get the use Of it
for nothing; yet, in printing office it
is only, in their estimation, a few min
utes labor TO write pun, ana 1t
cost no more to put that 10 type and publish it
than the same quantity of matter in a news
item for which there is no expectation of spe
cial pay. Many, therefore, receive the favor
as thing of course. and some even grumble
if a notice of them or their wares is not cou-
Piled with direct or indirect disparagement
of somebody else in the same line Of trade. For
much of this misapprehension Of the fact that a
printing Office is like any other lace of business
and can be sustained only on business practices
publishers themselves are responsible. In pub
fishing gratuitousy, as is proper, notices Of pub
lie and benevolent objects, they have establish
ed practice where it is often hard to draw a
dividing line, and where they too frequently
overstep it, Good judgment and little firm
ness would correct an evil every publisher feels,
and which he has some time or other talked
about generally with no benefit to himself or
anybody else Cumberland Neacs.
