Grapes and Wine I'm California.

Of the grape and wine crop Of Cali
fornia the present season, the San Fran
cisco Bulletin thus speaks: "The wine
made in this State last year fell consid-
erably short of the estimates which lad
early in the season set down the proba-
BILE production at 100000 gallons
Whereas, the actual amount was, ac-
cording to the estimates of wine-makers
we'll up in the business, not much above
5000, 000gallons. From the same source
we learn that the most careful estimates
for the present year do not place the
yield much above 100000 gallons.
Two reasons are assigned for this
shrinkage. First, the frosts, which
were the most severe that had occurred
in the State for many years. The frosts
came late in the spring, just at the
transition from blossom to fruit. Sec
ond, the excessively hot weather of the
summer months has thickened the pulp
of most of the wine grapes, making
them feshy, and while the quality has
really been improved, the prices have
been diminished. The price of the
better sort of grapes has advanced mod
erately this year, the average for those
in bulk being about two and half
cents. But irrigated Mission grapes in
Los Angeles county have brought not
much above three-fourths of a cent per
pound, while Sonoma Mission grapes,
not irrigated. have brought about one
cent a. pound. Considering the num-
Der of new vines which were expected
to come into bearing this year, the crop
must be set down as very small one.
Probably SO many untoward influences
may not combine against the grape crop
again in ten years. The 100000 gal
Ions, which were the more moderate es-
innate for 1873, have settled down to
about 100000, with proportionate
shrinkage in table-grapes. But they
are good, and that has been the princi-
pal consolation of the grape growers. "

modern rivals, more than realizes the

in steam, with lightning couriers, they
strike the earth breathless with their
thunder, and fill the very heavens with
their millions of messengers. 1 have

CrOp Reports.

Reports received at the Office of the
National Crop Reporter indicate the
condition of this year of the crops, as
compared with those of 1872, as follows:
On corn in the States producing half
the entire crop of the United States, a
loss of 26 per cent; on wheat in States
producing over 40 per cent. of the en-
tire crop, gain Of 81 per cent; on
oats in States producing 40 per cent. of
the entire crop, a loss of 9 per cent. on
hay in States producing over one-third
the entire crop, a loss Of per cent. ;
and on swine in States producing one
third of the entire crop, loss of is
per cent. The indications are that a
largely increased acreage of winter
wheat has been sown this fall, and,
with few exceptions, the condition of
the growing crop is above the average.
The reports of the condition of the corn
crop lead to the conclusion that the
estimated losses will be further in
creased as the extent of damage be-
comes better known. The proportion
of soft corn is very large. The report
of the condition of fattening hogs from
sections where corn was most damaged
by frost indicate that the average weight
will be less than last season. The uni
form fattening quantity of grain, and
the belief among farmers of higher
prices for corn, incline them to dispose
of their stock in comparatively inma-
ture condition. Reports from Iowa and
Illinois indicate increasing losses from
hog cholera.

An AnecdOte of Harrison.

Colonel Chambers, of Kentucky, an
intimate personal friend, who had serv-
ed on the staff of General Harrison in
one of his campaigns against the In
dams, was under an engagement Of mar
riage with the widow of his son. Cham
bers accompanied him to Washington,
at his request, and the arrangement was
that he should have the appointment of
Register Of the Treasury, and after the
marriage he was to reside ut the White
House, Mrs. Chambers to be the pre-.
siding lady of the executive mansion.
She was an accomplish ed, elegant wo-
man, greatly caressed in Washington
society. The finished gentlemen by
Of government contrasted SO strikingly
with her Kentucky lover, who was a
plain man, of brusque manners, that
she finally declined to fulfill her en-.
gagement. General Harrison was much
concerned Mt this unfortunate contre-
temps, and perceiving that Chambers
would be uncomfortably placed in
Washington, offered him any appoint
ment elsewhere that he might select.
The unlucky suitor asked for the office
of Governor of the Territory of Iowa.
The place was assured him as a matter
of course. Meantime Mr.. Webster had
promised the Office to his friend General
Wilson, Of New Hampshire. Alta cabi-
net meeting Mr.. Webster informed the
President that it had been decided by
the gentlemen of the cabinet that James
Wilson should be Governor of Iowa.
"Ah that is the decision, then, is it ?"
said General Harrison. The gentlemen
of the cabinet replied in the affirmative.
Without making any further remark,
the old gentleman wrote a few words
upon piece Of paper and handed it to
Mr.. Webster, requesting him to read it
aloud. The Secretary of State looked a
little embarrassed, but there was no al
tentative, and he read, in an audible
voice, civilian Henry Harrison, Presi-
dent of the United States" The gen.
eral, rising to his feet, said, "And Will
liam Henry Harrison, President of the
United States, tells you, gentlemen,
that John Chambers shall be Governor
of Iowa" OF course that concluded
the subject, and Chambers was ap-

A Strange Shipwreck.

The news of the wreck Of the steamer
Agra off Columbo has already been
noted. The details of the disaster are
quite exciting. 1t appears, according
to a letter to the London Times, that
the captain, to save fuel, sought an
chorage outside the port.
The pilot let go the anchor too near
well-known rock, and the sea, tum-
bling in as it knows how to tumble off
Gale in the southwest monsoon, caused
the chain cable to part, and the vessel
to surge heavily on the rock. The work
of destruction was rapid !; those on
board were startled by the metallic
sound of the ripping iron sides of the
steamer as her hull was torn in shreds
by the piercing rock. There was no
time to be lost. The vessel was fast
filing, and to save passengers luggage
was hopeless. They had barely time to
escape into the boats as the seas came
tumbling over the sides, sweeping
everything before them, carrying away
one poor invalid sailor, and bursting
open the cages and dens of an extensive
menagerie on board, going home for
the Geological Gardens. The escape
and striking out amid the waves of a
crowd of tigers, elephants, ETC., and
their roars and screams, added to the
terror OF the wretched passengers. One
elephant managed to swim ashore,

Robblns widows and orphans.

Tho Memphis appeal contains par;
ticular, OF an alleged fraud practiced
on the G pmmissary Department by the
mayor, Paul Cicalla. 1t ischarged that
he made acquisitions in the name OF a
widow known to be destitute; that he
secured supplies for food and clothing
for herself and family of eight persons
and four orphans OF her sister, victim
of the yellow fever, for thirty days, and
appropriated the same to his own use.
He admitted the facts charged against
him, but it is supposed he will shield
himself in law behind the power OF the
Mayor to control the distribution OF
supplies for general relief. His only
offence in the eyes of the law is forging
the signature Of a lady to a reputation
On learning that the matter would be
made public Cicalla took an armful OF
the ill-gotten articles to the lady's house
and offered them to her, but she re-
fused to receive them. 1t has also
leaked out that Cicalla also secured a
lot OF wines, two pairs of fine blankets,
and some other articles in the same
manner, and there is an intense feeling
of indignation against him.
