What is the latest from Albany !?
Well, the Legislature Is still balloting,
and prospect of re electing ConklIng is
very slim. Meantime big sensation
has occurred. \ member named Brad
ley went to the Speaker and handed
him s., 600 which he claimed had been
paid to him Bradley as bribe to quit
Conk ling and vote for Depew. lie
swore that Senator Sessions, one Of the
Garfield Leaders, had personally paid
him the money for his vote Other
Senators claimed to have been offered
bribes for their votes. An investigation
committee was appointed and in session
Senator Session swears that Bradley lies.
One of the two is liar, and probably
both
He has a great deal of dry wit,
notwithstanding his 60 years under

: IF there are any leaders to the
Prohibition party it is time they were
taking the field with banners, music,

hundred votes lost. They should re-
member that the present campaign Is a
peculiar one. Probably one fourth Of
the people are strongly for Prohibition ::
another fourth are violently Anti prohI-
bitiOn; but two fourths are neither cold
nor hot, but 50 luke warm and undcci-
ded that they are ready TO be sWayed by
appearances rather than by arguments.

From an official document just re
ceived, we learn that $50 TONS Of Cali
fornia grapes were consumed in Plila-
delphia every week last season. Think
O. that Five hundred and sixty thous-
and pounds Of grapes hauled every
5000 miles across the Roxy Noun
taiEs to supply single city, whereas in
North Carolina, only ten hours from
Philadelphia, is the finest grape section
on the continent \ score Of scientific
authorities can be adduced to show the
the similarity in latitude, climate, and
soil ofSouth Central North Carolina with
that Of Bordeaux, the great wine section
Of France. TO show how closely the
similarity rurs, we mention fact
that the sandstone quarries, and grav
ely Hills Of the Bordeaux region are
reproduced in the sand stone cropl iogs
from Durham to Fayetteville aud on
Southwark John {. Calhccm was wont
to predict that the Aiken sect on Of
South Carolina woull become the great
vineyard Of the world. He missed it
only one degree Of latitude.
