Madeira WING.

Two years after its final settlement By
the Portuguese, the vine was imported
into Madeira from the island Of Gambia
or Crete, and found 50 congenial a soil
that lis vine became renowned as the
most delicious beverage it has been
granted man to taste. Madeira has been
q household word in every language Of
Europe, but in 1860 there we're only four
hundred pipes remaining on the island;
and though MADEIRA is offered for sale in
every city Of the United States 81 rea-
soRable rates, it is not difficult to
imagine its source. The Madeira wine
Of commerce was itself a compound Of
the various productions Of the island
known by special names as Bual, Ser
cisl etc each possessing a destructive
character. At onetime the productions
amounted 10 twenty-five thousand pipes
a year, but in 1852 the same terrible dis
ease which spread over the other Allan
tic Islands appeared among the
vineyards, and destroyed is culture,
taking from the island its fair name,
running thousands Of wretcbed people,
and depriying man Of a blessing for

flying, it is a blessing when be can drink
of vine like this rather than OF some vile
substitute. Fortunately the oidium ap-

disappeared, and new plants introduced
from the United States and Europe a-e

to the island its former celebrity among

he filed an opinion denying the
validity of Hampton'S government,
and stating that he signed the order
in great bodily fear and distress Of

that he believes Hampton was
elected, but was afraid to take that
position on account Of his own race,
who would kill him. So, hating

committed himself in writing on

WASHINGTON, March 3,-The executive
mansion is besiegsd to-day by a great
throng, the majority Of whom are here

general reception, and 9handshaking was
kept up for a long time. The President
expressed to many his delight at the

linquish public Office and its attendant

IN the few hours left Of the session
something might be effected. The Pres
ident had a very interesting converse
ton with General Gordon on South Car
DINA affairs. General Gordon appealed
to him to take some action with regard
10 South Carolina and Louisiana.
The President said that he had not yet
made up his mind concerning South
Carolina, and said that Chamberlain had
given him much trouble and he hoped
the courts would be able to settle the
matter without any interference on his
part. He said also that perhaps it would
be best for him to sea Governor Hayes,
and ascertain his views about the pro-
pristy Of Withdrawing the troops. He
said further that it a possible that on

He expressed q desire to take such ao-
