Washington at Yorktown.

The London Telegraph publishes the
following incident, and remarks that
" there is much in the memories of York
town even to draw living Englishmen
and Americans nearer together, and
unquestionably the bearing of General
Washington at the supreme moment to-
ward his vanquished and Inundated
enemy was of that character which it is
meet and right that historians should not
willingly let die"
When, on the 18th of October, 1871.
Lord CORVALLIS had lost his two adj
vanced redoubts by storm, he made an
attempt to escape with his rank and file
who were still fit for duty-rather more
than 1000 in number-across the river
to Gloucester The attempt was frus-
trated, as might have been expected
when it is remembered that the opposing
forces, French and American, vastly
outnumbered the British, and that a
French feet of more than thirty sail
under Comte de Grasse, lay in the ad-
joining river and roads. On the morn
ing of the 18th of October Lord Corn
wallis accepted the inevitable, and the
terms of capitulation were settled between
him, as representing the British side, and
General Washington and the Comte de
Rochambeau, as severally representing
the triumphant forces of America and
France. But it is not generally known
that at the moment when Lord Corn
wallis surrendered to General Washing
ton, the humbled Englishman stimuli.
taneously uncovered his head. With
characteristic thoughtfulness Gen. Wash
ington prayed him to put on his hat, as
the weather being chilly and wet
there was danger of his catching cold.
1t does not much matter what now be-
comes Of me, exclaimed the detected
Englishman to which, in firm voice,
General Washington at once replied !:
On the contrary, my lord, anticipate
for you long career of distinction and
honor In the service Of your King and
country. How truly these generous
and prophetic words were borne out NAV
be seen by those who care to read the
epltaph upon the monument erected by
a grateful country to Charles, First
Marquis CORVALLIS, in st. Paul's Cath
edral. Yet memories Of this kind serve
only to remind us that, in Kebles beau
tiful words, Brothers are brothers
evermore; no distance and it may be
added, no bickerings-"b breaks their tie
of blood. England is, happily, on terms
of the closest amity both with France
and the United States, and no celebra.
tions" Of events which happened a cen.
fury since are likely to diminish the
cordiality Of their friendship.

The Princes Promise.

There is story of a captive who was
brought before an Asiatic prince and
doomed to die. The scimitar of his
executioner was already raised above his
head, when, oppressed with thirst, he
begged tor water. A cup was handed
to hrm; but he could hardly drink, so
fearful was he that the blow should fall
while he was drinking "Take courage,
said the prince; "your life Will be spared
till you drink that aOoter." With a ges-
ture of triumph, the captive dashed the
cup to the ground, and held the monarch
to his word. He trusted that promise,
and was not disappointed. The prince
had passed his word, the captive was
rele ased, and went on his way rejoicing.
Thus faith appeals to the noblest sem
timents, even in the hearts of the most
cruel

and interesting Information relating to
this subject, and some of it deserves a
wider circulation than it can get in the
publications of the State Department
Readers Of newspapers have a vague
knowledge of the extent of the destruc-
tion caused by the phylloxera in French
vineyards, but there are few who know
what effect the ravages of this insect have
had upon the wine and brandy trade of
France, and, perhaps upon the beverages
which they are how using at dinner.
France has supplied many countries with
wine In the past, and her own people
have used it like water. Although many
of her vineyards are ruined, her customers
abroad and her people at home are
supplied as they were before, and, almost
as cheaply. There is unquestioned evil
dence that the deficiency is supplied by
millions Of gallons of wine made in Spain,
Italy, Hungary, Turkey, and even in
Algiers, brought into France, and there
mixed and doctored," watered and
drugged, until it assumes the appearance
and taste of the product of French vine
yards, and becomes suited for the mar.
kets once honestly supplied. This is
the substance of the reports made to the
State Department by the Consuls and
agents of the United States stationed in
France.-N Y Times.
We may add that wine is imported into
France from California for the same pur-
pose.
To Correspondents.
We shall be pleased to answer ques-
tons relating to agriculture if they are
not too hard, and beyond our ability to
do so. We will say here that much trou-
BILE is often caused to those having large
correspondence, by the names of CORES
pondents not being legibly written, and
by counties being left out in the address.
The Postmaster-General says this is the
most frequent cause of the miscarriage of
letters. Congress should pass an act re-
quiring Postmasters to have plain stamp
with the county as well as the Post-office
on every letter. Frequently these stamps
are SO obscure that they are no guide as
to the Post-ofice, when it is omitted or
lndlstlnctly written on the inside of the
letter. AS to signatures of correspond
ents, have been forced twice recently to
cut them OUT and paste them on our en-
velopee, and no doubt 1 was thought very
stupid by the parties writing to me. 1t
seems somewhat of weakness with some
people to believe that because they are
very familiar with their own names, that
every body else should know them. In
speaking on this subject recently with a
distinguished official, when we were to-
gether endeavoring to make out one of
these hard signatures, he declared that it
ought to be a penitentiary offence for one
not to write his name so as to be legible.

Apples as Food for Animals.
BY JAMES R. NICHOLS.

(Continued)
Our analysis of apples as presented
shows that the amount of nutriment or
absolute feed they contain in proportion
to bulk is small. In order to bring the
facts home to the understanding of our
farmers, let US contrast them with pota-
toes and some other vegetable food. The
following is an analysis of the Early
Rose Potato, a variety extensively raised
in New England =
