Henry Clay and His Native Wine.

In the fall of 1S43 Lonworth of Gin
cinnati sent to Mr.. Clay dernijohn O
native wine. Mr.. Lonworth had import
ed the grape seed from wine makers in
Italy, and prided himself ON having 9
splendrd thing. 80 ''l7
1t was five gallon demijohn, the stop
per covered with wax, and stamped with
the letter l. There were six of us boys
in the family, averaging some 16 or IL
years old. We used to study in the even.
ing in our room, and would borrow the
cellar key of Mrs. Clay and bring up a
pitcher of cider and a hat full of apples to
help rs along in cur lessons. ~
One night 1T was proposed we should
taste of the Cincinnati wine. We found
cork screw, and carried up a pitcher
full. 1t was capital, and before many
days we found the demijohn empty. We
knew Clay was liable to want it at any
time, and it must be filed. On the fol-
lowing night we took servant who t,tcd
the big bottle on. his head to a small
store room two or two and half miles
away, kept by negro, where We had it
filled with whiskey at fifteen cents gallon,
which, with the quarter we gave the boy
for helping us along, cost us a dollar
We had hard work getting that demijohn
back to the house-it was not shaped
right for carrying. But at length it was
safe in the cellar. We had previously
made some wax about the color of that
which was on the stopper, and had carved
a letter i out of piece of bark. The
bottle was duly sealed, stamped and de-
posted in its proper place.
In 1874 the prospects were that Mr..
Clay might be President, and he thought
so himself. He gave grand dinner, a.
mong his distinguished guests being John
j. Crittenden and Tom Corwin. Every
one was in the best of spirits, and after
the ladies had retired the merriment was
even higher than before. We boys re-
manned, never being excluded from his
great dinners. As the party were about
rising, Clay said
Gentlemen, [ have some of the finest
wine in the worle, and the first native
American ever manufactured and there
can be no more fitting opportunity for
testing its merits than the present John,
do you know whereabouts in the cellar
that bottle of wine is, which was sent to
me from Cincinnati?''
Eyes sir,'' said John.
''Do you think, John, you can bring
that -demijohn here, under your arm, and
not shake it up?"
''Yes SIR
''Well, GO
In few minutes John came back with
that big FIVE gallon demijohn under his
arm.
''Now John, SET it down and take out
the cork"
The cork came out pretty easy-it had
been out before.
s'Now, John, take that demijohn under
your arm again, and tilt out little in
all the glasses"
John again took the demijohn under
his arm, and went around filling the glass
es, while we looked on in woeful silence.
Now, gentlemen" continued Clay,
eve will drink this standing, to the health
of my friend Lonworth of Cincinnati.
He raised the glass to his lips, stopped,
and gave look about the table. We six
were just going out of the door, just as
fast as our legs could carry us. We heard
the word "Boys!' in the lion voice of
Clay, but the remainder sof the sentence
was drowned in the shouts of laughter
from his guests.

The Importance Of the Farmers
Work

Strike out of existence at once ten days
supply of eight or ten articles, such as In
dian corn, wheat, rye, potatoes, rice. mil
let, the date, the banana, and the bread
fruit, with half a dozen others which serve
as the forage of the domestic animals, and
the human race would be extinct. The
houses we iuhabit, the monuments we erect,
the trees We plant, stand in some cases for
ages but our own frame-the stout linn bs,
the skillful hands that build the houses,
and set up the monuments, and plant the
trees-have to be built up, re-created,
every day and this must be done from
the fruits of the earth, gathered by agri-
culture. Everything else is luxury, con-
veninence, cornfort-food is indispensable.
Then consider the bewildering extent of
this daily demand and supply which you
will allow me to place before you in a
somewhat coarse mechanical illustration
The human race is usually estimated at
about 100000, 900 of individuals. IF
the sustenance of portion of these multi
tudinous millions is derived from other
sources than agriculture, this circumstance
is balanced by the fact that there is great
deal of agricultural produce raised in ex-
cess of the total demand for food.
Let, then, the thoughtful husbandman
who desires to form just idea of the
Importance of his pursuit reflect, when he
gathers his little flock about him to par
take of the mornings meal, that 1,0OO,-
100000 of his fellow-men have awakened
from sleep that morning craving their
daily bread. with the same appetite which
reigns at his family board and that If, by
superior power, they could be gathered
together at the same hour, for the same
meal. they would Gll both sides of FIVE
tables reaching all around the globe,
where it is broadest, seated side by side,
and allowing 1S inches to each individual,
and that these tables are to renewed twice
or thrice every day. Then let him con-
slider that, in addition to the food of the
human race, that of all the humble par
takers of mans toil-the lower animals
Is to be provided in like manner.
These all wait upon agriculture, as the
agent of that Providence which giveth
them their meat in due season and they
probably consume in the aggregate au
equal amount of produce and, finally,
let him add, in imagination, to this un-
told amount of daily food for man and
beast, the various articles which are furn-
ished, directly or indirectly, from the soil.
for building material, furniture, clothing
and fuel. The grand total will illustrate
the primary importance of agriculture,
considered as the steward-the commissary
charged with supplying this almost In
conceivable daily demand of the human
race and the subject animals, for their daily
bread a want so imperative, uncompromis-
ing that death, in its most agonizing form,
is the penalty of failure in the supply

Rocky Mountain Goats.

The Commissioner of Patents recently
received from Hon. W. Fl. Claggett, Del
egate II om Montana, a photograph of q.
Rocky Mountain goat, together with a
sample of its underdown. 1t isreprescnt-
ed to be nearly as large as an OK. its
weight being four hundred pounds.. The,
underdown resembles wool, though shor-
ter and as fine is silk. There is also an
overgrowth of long coarse hair. Efforts
are being made by the Governor of Mon
tana to domesticate it. He has several
that were captured in the mountains.--
Commissioners Leggctt offers the sugges-
tion that they be crossed with the Angora
goat, which he believes will improve the
.underdpwn, both in length and quality.
without injuring it in quality. gsszi

Gov. PONDER has been in hot water ever
since his election. over the Court House ap-
pointments in Sussex He has had three or
four offices to fill for that County, and in every
instance his appointments have created dis
satisfaction or rather the dissatisfaction has
been created by those he did not appoint. For
the four offices there have been about forty ap-
plicants and each applicant relied on his per-
sonal influence with, and expressed promise of,
the Governor to insure him the position But
all but four have realized the worthlessness of
this security, while the Governor realizes the
truth of the old adage-' uneasy rests the
head that wears crown" While he has de-
lighted few by his petty gifts, he has disap-
pointed hundreds, and it is feared that the dis
appointment, like bread cast upon the waters,
will bring forth fruit before may elections roll
around. The last Office in his gift in the
County, however, was given out last week,
when W. P. Jones was appointed Clerk of the
Peace, greatly to the disappointment of Benz.
