too great caution in admitting now

Radicalism, as opposed to Democra-
cy, is as dead as door nail, and
colored ex-Radicals arc perfectly
willing to get into the Democratic
clubs, if they can. Every precau~
ton must be taken to secure the
purity Of the primary elections by

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIPENS.

There is curious story about some native
wines which arc extensively advertised nowa-
days and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Undcrhill, the well-knowR
grapc-growcr 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
market. and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
Of the estate and the sale OF the wines on
hand. Among these is q wine Of the vintage
OF 1864. described as {; 81 Sweet Union PORT
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. It's purity, age and mcllowncss are
fancicrs have. a special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity The whole stock is in the
hands Of the well-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.-N. Y. Tribune,

The NEwBEaRY Herald holds that
while Hampton should be renomi~
mated, yet the entire State ticket
should not bo put in again merely
because it is now in Office. The
Herald thinks that every official
should stand on his own merits,
and if re- -clocted must be re elected
for this reason, and not because he
happens to be one of bunch of
officials how serving. This is very
proper. While we have no obiec-
'tion to the denomination of any OF
those gentlemen, we think they
should be run upon their merits.
