There IS a curious story about some native
wines which arc extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill, the well-bnown
grape-grower of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to

the vines. 1t Is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded In arranging for q settlement
Of the estate and the sale of the wines ON

Of 1861, described as q "Sweet Union Port"
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity. age and mcllowness are

Report on West Point.

WASHINGTON, November 9.-Gen.
eral Sehoield, commanding the Mil
tary Division Of West Point, has Sub.
mitted his annual report to General
Sherman. He calls attention to the
necessity of a reorganization of The
military academy, but makes no re-
commeDdation on the manner of such
reorganization, leaving that matter
for the future, If the proposition for
the reorganization should be carried
out.
He states that the Improvement 10
the cadets has been marked aud very
satisfactory. The class of young
men presenting themselves as eandi-
dates fer admission has also improved.
He recommends that the practice OF
making September appointments be
discontinued, and that all appoint.
meDts be made 10 June, instead Of
June and September.
This would decrease annually the
number Of admissions to the institu-
ton and consequently the number OF
graduates therefrom. An advance 10
the standard for admission and for
graduation is suggested The hy-
gienic condition OF West Point is re.
ported as very bad, malarial fever
abounding. The appropriation by
Congress at its last session has ena.
bled this defect TO be partially RENE
died. Congress should, be thinks,
make an appropriation for The com.
pletion Of the roof of the hospital.

REPUBLICAN, GAINsIN ALL DIRECTIONS

REPUBLICANS GAINsIN ALL DIRECTIONS.
New YORK, November G.-Tbe
returns show emphatic Republican
gains in all parts of the Union ex-
cept the solid South. In New York
CITY the Anti-Tammany-l;epublica
combination ticket was elected by
about 1900 majority. The Repnb-
licans have gained seven Congress
men in New York State and have
elected their candidate for the Court
of Appeals by about $4,000 majority.
PENNSYLVANIA has been carried by
the Republicans by a plurality esti-
mated at $4,000. The Legislature is
strongly Republican, and Senator
Cameron's election Is assured. The
Democrats have lost two Congress
sional districts, one of which was
carried by & G%reenbaek candidate
Massachusetts has defeated Butler
by q plurality which is placed as high
as forty thousand. The Republicans
have e solid Congressional delega-
ton with the exception of one dis
triet, which is the same one thas is
now represented by a Democrat.
In Connecticut there is no election
for Governor by the people. The
Republican candidate has a plurality
but not a majority over all, which is
necessary to constitute an election 10
that State.
The Legislature is Republican by
an increased majority, which secures
a Republican uccesso to Senator
Barnum and a Republican Governor.
Two Republican Congressman have
been gained, General Hawley in the
LIST district, and Frederick Miller 10
the ID.
There has been one Republican
Congressman gained in New Jersey.
New Hampshire is completely Be
publican. Matt Head is elected
Governor, the three Congressman
are Republicans and the Legislature
is Republican, securing O Rspubilcan
L. S. Senator.
In the West the Greenback move
ment has had no perceptible effect.
Michigan, which was expected TO
elect at least two Gr~eenbackers, sends
& solid Republican Congressional del
egat;on.
The South is solidly Democratic,
with & few possible exceptions.
