tanning the right proportion OF sugar

raised in Virginia, there is no doubt
We have the climate, we have the soil. Let
our grape growers bear IN mind that good
and careful cultivation and proper training
OF the vines will bring perfect grapes, from
which a perfect claret will be produced with

But / must come back to your inquiry.
in my travels to Richmond and Frederlcks-
burg have seen, each side OF the railroads,
good many vineyards, some OF them very
large, aud also new wine cellar, about
eight miles from Richmond, built lately by
a Frenchman, who, by the way, gave me to
taste Concord claret, made with
pure juice of grape, which had been
awarded the first premium at the
last Richmond fair, and which was
worthy OF II, But for few vineyards,
how much land Is vet idle and unpro-
ductive? II In France, II would be one un.
interrupted line Of orchards and vineyards
each side Of the railroad. and the produce
Of these lands would be immense aud also
the wealth of the Inhabitants. Let 1t be
known everywhere that Richmond and
tidewater sections Of Virginia are the
country for excellence In the United States
for raising fruit and grapes, with great ia
cilities for transportation to all the mar
kets, and we will see very soon each side
of the railroads covered with fine orchards
and vineyards.

Monsieur G. Arnaud, superintendent OF
the Monticello Wine Compsny's works at
Charlottesville, Va, gentleman of great In
telligence and of the highest skill in his
business, says In the Monticello Farmer and
Grape GrOWer for April:
You seem to be anxious Of knowing my
impressions about the country, aud espe-
cially the land adjoining the railroad from
here 10 Richmond, The frequent visits
that make to Fredericksburg by the way
OF the Chesapeake and Ohio, and of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railways, enable me to satisfy your anxiety.
read somewhere that an inhabitant of
France, once resident Of Richmond, who
examined the country stretching from
Charlottesville TO Lynchburg, found 1t so
well adapted to grape culture aud wlne-
making that he said, If sheeted with
gold, Il would not be more valuable
than II was. / believe that my country
man was right, aud what he said of the
section from here TO Lynchburg, / say
also OF the sections from here to Richmond
aud from Richmond to Fredericksburg, In
fact, of all the Piedmont aud tidewater
sections Of Virginia. And yet large part
of these lands are idle and unproductive

The Balloon DeIusion.

The Balloon DelusiOn.
The proposed balloon ascension proved a
failure, owning to the fiekle gas The infia-
ton was begun as early as ten o'clock in the
forenoon but the gas flowed very slowly
All were anxious to see the air ship ascend
as many had never seen such a sight, es-
pecially the children and young folks. But
they were doomed to disappointment The
people gathered in multitudes upon the
grounds to witness the event, and took
r-fuge beneath the NAPLES as shelter
from the hot sun. At o'clock it was
said that the ascension would take place
at 5, but as the hours passed it became evil
dent that the initiation could not be completed
in season and it was announced
that the balloon would 90 IN
toda at o'clock p. NJ. No doubt there will
be sufficient supply of gas by that time.
Mrs. Prof. Allen was on the grounds prepared
for the occasion. being attred as the Goddess
of Liberty. 1t was pity that this exhibition
proved failure, as the afternoon was unu-
sualiy favorable, the air being quiet. The
pipe connecting the balloon with the gas
main was removed and the big bag remained
on the grounds duriag The night in its par
TALLY inflated state. Prof. Allen stated that
the non ascension was as much a disappoint-
ment to him as the people.
The Trial Of Fire Companies
This was great event and one of an excit-
ing nature. 1t was witnessed by sidewalks
full of people. The contest egan at o'clock

One OF the chief attractions during the

ing a brilliant repertoire OF comic operas,
commencing tomorrow night with ''Gi-
ra6e-Girada," OF which the Atlanta Con-
stitutl0R OF April q gives the following
mplimentary notice:
The BJou company last night presented
at DeGlVe's opera house LecOcq's delight
ful musical little opera 'Girohe-Giroha.'
The title role OF the twin sisters was taken
by Miss Adelaide Randall, the gifted
young American prima donna, who is de-
servedly great favorite in the South.
Miss Randall has fresh, clear, resonant
soprano OF large compass and excellent
tlmbfe, and she uses it 10 the BIZ st advan-
tage. In The famous drinking song, in the
second act, where she and Pedro become
tipsy, her singing and acting were capt.
tai, and the scene called forth a vigorous
encore, to which Miss Randall was
Obliged to respond. In the concerted
numbers the full richness and power OF
her voice came out, and the lovely trio in
the second act was also encored. As'Au-
rore' and 'Paquita' Miss Marion Chester
and Clara Randall were very acceptable,
while Miss May Legion, who took the
part Of Pedro for the first time last
night, filed the part we'll. Harry F.
Dixie as Don Bolero, the weak old
father, was an excellent comedian, aud
introduced some funny local gags. Mr..
Flint, as MOurzourg, was fierce enough
TO bave scared almost anyone into fits,
and both his singing and acting were APP
piauded h. the echo. He uttered one note
so deep and low that the cornetist, down
in the orchestra, Looked under the
stage to lind it. MIR. Alfred WIlkie. the
tenor, sang nigh & once and looked

The Ch.rlsston Am.,eurr.

A fair house greeted the Charleston
Amateurs, who presented at the Theatre
last night an extravaganza entitled a
"Travesty on Fra Diayolo." They de-
served, however, a far better house, be-
cause they gave really meritorious per-
Torrance. II is very seldom, however,
that there is a large audience at the
Theatre in this city on Saturday nights,
however great the attraction may be.
There was another reason why the audi
nee was small last night. 1t was that
the whole attention Ct the people has been
for the past few DAYS, and will be during
the present week, occupied with tho Gen.
tennial celebration. On almost any other
occasion the Charleston Amateurs would
bave received a much more encouraging
reception.
Doubtless those who witnessed the per-
Torrance last night were very agreeably
surprised. They hardly expected, perhaps,
that Charleston possessed SO many good
actors and good singers. The leading
characters were well presented, and the
nging OF the chorus was excellent. The
dressing was noticeable as being partic-
ularly good and appropriate.
