a Large Wine Story.

In connection with the recent
"Weinprobe," instituted by some of
the deputies of the German Reichstag,
we learn that upon each table, in the
position Of honor, stood small bottle

world, the Rosenwein, out of the Raths.
keller of Bremen. This wine, prop
eIty of the municipal council of the
old Hanseatic city, is reputed to be
more than two and half centuries
old; it takes it name from a bronze
bass relief of roses which surmounts it,
and is said to have arrived in Bremen
in the year 1925. Each little bottle of
this celebrated Hook bore round its
neck an inscription which professed to
give an exact calculation of its value:
can eight ohm steuck of this wine
cost in 1924, 800 gold retchsth alers.
After the lapse of 221 years Tin the
year 1045) the steuck of eight ohms
cost 421, 607, 100000 gold 1eichsthalers;
one ohm equal to $50 bottles) cost
5000, 1877 800 gold thalers; one bottle
cost 292,7S2,7O8 gold thalers and "a
groschen; one glass (eight glasses to q
bottle) cost 36,597, 1888 gold thalers 80
groschen; one single drop $1,000 drops
to glass; was worth So, 597 gold thalers
60 groschen."
The "value" has gone on at rate
which appals the valuer. In the year
1859 drop of Rosenwein was worth
143, 391 gold thalers; in 1873 the wine
had risen to 1886 gold thalers "a
groschen per drop; while at the present
moment the value of single drop Ii
reckoned at 1,932,363 marks of the
new imperial coinage The honor of
receiving bottle of this aged Hook is
more literally priceless" than any
other in the world, and this honor was
bestowed once every year by the city
of Bremen upon Goethe.

An Eagle Carries Off a Pig
Pottstown PAL Ledger.

On Monday afternoon last the
scholars attending the Fegely school in
Pottsgrove Township, saw very large
bird alight on a tree about 800 yards
from the school house, on the Cue
property, carrying in it's talons small
sucking pig, which it began to devour.
The children scampered off in the di-
rection of the tree, when the bird went
sailing away, leaving behind it the two
hind legs of the young porker. From
the description given of the bird by the
children, it was no doubt an eagle.

4 South Carolina Example.


Hampton's executive establishment al
Columbia, South Carolina, is a model Of
economy. 1t Is embraced on the second
floor of small building. There are four
rooms, on the door OF one of which is a
placard with the words, Governor
Walk in" A second door leads to the
iieutenant'governor's room; a third to the
comptroller generals, and fourth to the
attorney generals. The governors apart
ment is sumptuously QUILTED with a few
spllt-bottom chairs, worth not less than
nifty cents apiece, an implanted pine table,
the original cost of which can only be con-
lectured, second hand store counter a
bucket of water and a tin dipper. No
Administer carpets, no flashing chandeliers,
no massive walnut starways, no frescoed
allegorles on the walls and ceiling. no
gravelled walks, parterres and hot-house
outside-no green and gold and blue and
sllver-no statuary, no paintings, no heavy
libraries in rosewood cases, no caparisoned
steeds, chariots, pianos bands of music.
luxurious dining halls. touches, brocatelle
chairs 10 short. nothing but the split
bottom chairs, pine table, bucket of water
and tin dipper.
Here IS suggestion. If the governor of
South Carolina can get along with an
official outfit worth only about $40,
what are we to think of that spirit of
extravaganza which expcnds thousands
of the peoples money in adjuncts of
splendor, show and luxury? What
reason is there for saying the public ex-
penditures cannot be reduced, when state
governor, who has proven him self heroic
popular leader 10 a great crisis, sets
us such an example of frugality as this ?
The whole country needs to initiate the
Hamptonian system, 1t ought to be intros
duced in New York. to begin with, III
the officials Of that metropolis we're per-
emptorily reduced to pine tables and tin
dlppers, their debt OF SI48 100000 would
begin to melt away. taxes would grow less
and we should hear no more of the failure
of municipal free government for large
cities. st. LOUIS Republican,
