A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT. Through the
courtesy of Mr.. A. Schmitt we had the
pleasure, Wednesday morning, of a
visit to his vineyard and fruit garden
The Strawberries. raspberries and black
berries with which Mr.. S. has been
supplying the town, are of course gone,
but in their stead are couple of acres
of the most graceful, beautiful and de-
licious grapes. There are about twenty
five varieties. The Concord, with sew
eral of its seedlings, five or six of the
Rogers varieties, and many kinds new
to tins section The most prolific
bearer is the Champion which is well
named. The best early grape perhaps
is Moole's early. But they are all SO
good it is hard to decide. Mr.. Schmitt
is glad to welcome visitors, and all who
90 to see this paragon of vineyards
will be well repaid We acknowledge
with thanks the fine specimens left at
this Off CO.

EngIis!, and French Girls.

London Letter to Philadelphia Telegraph
AS a rule, the young English girls that one
meets in society have as little to say as have the
French society damsels. though they are by no
means kept under such severe restraint. 1t has
been suggested that the French girls say moth
ing because they are not permitted to speak,
while the English girls say nothing because they
have nothing to say. They are very sweet.

sparkle and entrdn most woefully. Eng

temporaries. There is very little serious devo-

one sees In the more literary circles of America.

perhaps for this reason that the married state
in England differs SO widely from the same in

respecting his DEGREES. The household and its
movements are regulated to suit his whims and
convictions, and his wife and daughters must
shape their actions accordingly. But there is
plenty of warm mutual love manifested between
husbands and wives in England. and so matri-
