CAPT. MATT ATKINSON
Leaves this morning as delegate
to the Grape Growers Convention
which meets to~daY in Washington
City. Our people have not become
sufficiently interested in this subject.
The benefits of grape culture seem
so remote as not to interestthe pres
ent. Yet if properly considered
and taken hold of, the great future
wealth of this mountain country
may be made to consist in its vine
yards. The vineyards of France
and Italy are in the decrepitude of
old age. Disease in various forms
has taken hold of them. Pure wine
has become an almost unattainable
thing. Then to this is added duties
which are almost prohibitory. The
time was when pure Madeira wine
was freely had in this country at
two dollars a gallon. There is no
longer any pure Madeira wine. The
vines on the Island are nearly all
dead. But Madeira wine, so called,
is still crank,which costs six dollars
or more a gallon. This is the natu-
raj country of the grape. The Ca
tawba is a native. We will never
make Madeira of Sherry out of it.
But we can make good wine, e,pure,
with some native characteristics,
which mighs offend the taste of cons
noiseurs who fancy they are up in
all the excellencies of European wins
tages, though in fact they may be
drinking the favored concoctions
of corn juice or Irish potatoes.
We hope and believe ultimately,
some good will come of the Grape
Growers Association here. But in
terest in it must grow.

A number of our citizens, in the town
and in the country, have little vineyards
which are the source of pleasure and
luxury, if not of profit. Such are inter-
ested in the healthfulness of their vines
and the perfection of their grapes.
Without asking our readers to wait for
what the Buncombe Grape Growers
Association will do for them, we give
them little advice which we take from
a Florida paper; the remedy is good for
potatoes and tomatoes; and every body
has them:
Generally Florida is free from the
effects OF mildew and rot upon grape
vines, potatoes and tomatoes, which is SO
destructive to these pIantsin Europe and
the Northern States. 1t is believed,
however, that reRedy has been dis
covered in France for this disease, in
of the solution of sulphate
of copper. The best form of application
is made by dissolving ten pounds of the
sulphate in "a gallons of water, and add
ing 81 pounds of unslacked lime thus
forming rather thick whitewash; and
applying it to the vines and leaves with
a brush. Only small quantity is re-
CURED to destroy the fungoid growths;
by increasing the amount Of water two or
three times, the application could be
made with watering pot This remedy
on account OF the copper, must also des
troy allnoxious insects on the plants and
may be used in high diluted condition
to prevent the rust upon oranges; it con-
tains no noxious principle that would
enter within the skin of any fruit, and
could be readily cleaned off by water
An application made to grape vines In
France, nearly doubled the amount of
sugar in the juice of the grapes, and it
may have similar effect when applied
to other fruit-bearing plants

A fire in Congressman A. S. Hew-
tits library, in New York recently,
destroyed all his literary work of
the past twelve years. Mr.. Hewitt
says in speaking of his loss: "There
was a great deal of correspondence
relative to the campaign of 1876,
which has all been destroyed. My
library on political economy was
very good one, and it is all gone.
Many of the books are unobtainable
nowadays. There were many French
and Spanish books in the collection,
and many early books on the SUBJ
ject. There were about 5000 vol
umes there there are a few in
Washington and some at my coun-
try house-which 1 had bought as I
needed. l kept tho books all to-
gether, intending to give them to the
Cooper Institute as special library,
l had kept the notes made in pre-
pairing my speeches. Some of them
took me three months and more to
prepare. Those notes have all gone,
and with them all chances of the
future appearance of "The Speeches
of Abram S. Hewitt"

COFFEE.

Assvery Few four friends buy ground
coffee it is hardly necessary to give the
adulterations practiced by cheap dealers
bv using chicory, beans. peas, carrots
ETC., all of which may be detected by
stirring in clear water, the greasy nature
of the coffee causing it to float on top
while the adulterating materials will
sink and rapidly discolor the water.
Always bny whole grain cofee-choos

bright colored coffees.

AS OTHERS SEE Us.

We are very quick to catch up the
flattering observations of visitors.
1t is SO pleasant to hear commenda-
tons of our scenery, of our health
fulness, of our possession of the thou
sand and one attractions, with not a
single drawback. The reverse of
the picture is not SO pleasant, but
we are not so thin-skinned as to
vince under truth when it is told,
especially when the same truths are
told here at home, and speak most
pungently for themselves.

INJUSTICE, AND CORRECTION.

A statement is abroad that Mr..
Scott, one of the Penitentiary com-
missioners, has been sent to Hens
dersonville to investigate alleged
cruelty to convicts. We are inform
ed on good authority that there is
no foundation for the statement.
Monthly visits of inspection to cons
vict quarters are regularly made by
some one of the commissioners; and
Mr., Scott has simply taken his turn
of duty. There is no allegation of
cruelty; and the conyicts are as well
treated and contented as anybody of
men could be under the circum-
stances. There is no force at Hen
dersonville. The convicts on this
section are at Tryon city.
