There is n curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhili, the wcll-known
Erapc-growcr of Croton Point died i'll 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
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines 1t j., only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for Il settlement
of the estate and the sale OF the wines ON

of 1861, described as 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
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fancicrs have a spccia! interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands of the wcll-known wholesale grocery
house OF the Thurbcrs.-N. Y. Tribune,

letter to it's editor from jefferson
Davis, the following tribute to
Plus TX:
II grieve with you over the
decease Of the great and nobly-good
Pho Nino. In common with all who
honor true piety, that which begets
universal charity, I feel the loss
which the Christian world has sus-
tanned in the departure of this
grand oxemplar; but I have per
sonal obligations added to the
common cause for mourning. You
have mentioned many characteristic
acts Of that sublime mln. Let me
add one, of which you might not
otherwise learn, for it was as
privately as it was graciously done.
When our war was closed in the
defeat Of the South, and L was
incnrceratol with treatment the
most needlessly rigorous, if not
desiGncdiy cruel; when the invea.
ton OF mi.llGnants was taxed to is
utmost 10 fabricate stories to
defame and degrade me in the
estimation of mankind; when time
servers at home, as well as abroad.
j 'incd in tho cry with which the
i ,nob.e over pursue the victim, Il
voice came from afar to cheer and
console me in my solitary captivity.
The Holy Father sent me his
likeness, and beneath it was
written, by his own hand, the COM
forting invitation our Lord gives to
n! who are oppressed, in these
words: Tenite ad me onanes 1ui
la6orotis, e; ego w.Hcjam ros, dieit
Donsi,sus." That tho inscription
was photographic was attcstcd by

of my son in your paper, by your

The Rev. Fielding F. Pagan was 81
years old the 9Th day of last De

but he died with typhoid pneumo-
MIA. AS there are a great many
praying people who read the CITI-
ZEN. let me ask them to pray for me.
The cloud that is over me is dark /;
the sea is fathomless. My dear

would feel to look on the face of an
only child pale in death.
