pletely distance all other grapes and makes 8 white wine of more body than any other yet tried in the south, with an aroma unexcelled, if equalled, by the richest wines of Europe. I have Scuppernongs enough just now coming into bearing to make, when fully grown, fifty barrels of wine. I gathered last year from seven-year- old vine about six bushels of grapes, and presume if it continues to grow and increase in yield annually, as it has since it began to bear, that when twenty years old the one vine will make nearly one hundred gallons of wine. They require rich ground with all the bones, ashes, boap-suds, etc., one can give them, and will thrive like pig on dish water. In my humble opinion were the grape growers of the south to discard all other varieties, excepting for eating purposes and plant only the Scuppernong, we would, in time, be- come the greatest wine- growing peo- pie on earth. Like an orange grove, 8 Scuppernong vineyard requires pa- tient worker, as they are generally five years old before they begin to bear in anything like paying quanti- ties, but when once established and bearing they "hsve come to stay," and will enlarge in fruitfulness everlast- ingly.
 There is a fortune in evaporating sweet potatoes in this state for the northern market, and it is business that can be followed from September till the following March, then the same apparatus can be used for fruit the remainder of the year. This is one of the many profitable industries lying idle for the want of little energy and money.
 Tupelo gum makes the best wooden bowls of any timber in the land. On the Maumelle, the Fourche La Fave, and other streams that empty into the Arkansas above the city it grows in large quantities and of excellent quality. The machinery for the man. ufacture of wooden bowls is inex- pensive, and but little capital is required to conduct the business. Here is an opportunity seldom offered, as nothing of the kind is made in the southwest.
 The Hot Springs Neaos says: "Ar- kansas lumber builds the cities of Texas ana Kansas: Arkansas walnut supplies most of the worlds present stock of sewing machines, and Arkan- sas oak and hickory make thousands of vehicles for other states. Arkansas leads as lumber state." The Little Rock Democrat adds: "Yes, and ere long wheels will be rolling over Ar kansas iron."- Van Buren Argus.
 Arkansas also supplies a considera- ble amount of the ship timber used in America and England. She also SUD- plies early fruits and vegetables for three or four northern states, besides, being able to supply apples for the world, as she has within her borders some of the finest country for growing this luscious fruits in the known world -JudSonaa Advdnce.
 Arkansas also produces every textile fibre used in the arts.

Queer Fits and Starts

The fits and starts-using these words
in their literal meanine-of the nervous
people often strike the beholder as
ludicrous. The nerves of hearing of
such unfortunates are painfully acute,
and impinged by abrupt, unexpected
noises, lead them sometimes to perform
antics worthy of a jumping-jack. At
the root of nervousness, in most in
stances, is non-assimilation of the food
and consequently innutrition of the
nerves as of the other tissues of the
body. This prolonged is, of course,
productive of serious nervous disease.
The remedy is Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters, that invigorate the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
properly Soon after commencing a
course of it, it will be found that The
nerves grow more tranquil by day,
nightly repose becomes less interrupted
and appetite more vigorous and salts
flying. These are the initial indications,
followed by the complete restoration of
nervous vigor. The Bitters also cure
fever and ague. liver complaint and
constipation.

so the story runs, Perkins never noticed
anything wrong until they neared the
dam, when he shouted to Newly to
stop rowing, but it was too late, as the
boat went into the current, over the
dam, and into the rapids below before
Perkins had time to think. Perkins
could not get his head to the surface of
the water until he emerged from under
the waterfall, when he struck out for the
opposite shore. At this point he saw
Newly standing bolt upright in the
water, and supposed he was going 10
swim out, and Perkins devoted his at
teRtlon to trying to save the children,
and never saw Newly afterwards. The

THE DROWNING CASE.
The Young Man and One Child
'Found-The Other Still Missing.

A party of about 200 men, it is esti-
mated, went out to the river yesterday
morning, and made q diIigent and
thorough search for the bodies of the
two children and the young man who
were drowned in Ogden Canyon on
Thursday afternoon. in the vicinity of
the Wilson sawmill. Among thos @
who were in the searching party were
Andrew Wilson, a brother of the father
of the two girls, and Valasco Moore.
The former discovered one of the chill
dren's bodies. that of the elder girl. in
the middle of the river, whore the
stream forks, between Felshaw's place
and the wooden mill, lying on a sand
bar just covered with water. This was
about three or four hours after the
search was commenced. The young man
Newly was found about five or six
hundred yards farther down the
stream than the child, in shallow water,
where he had become entangled in
some willows, and from the position in
which the body was found, it is Judged
that he must have foated down the
stream head first. On being found, the
body was carried by his friends and
relatives to North Ogden, where he will
be inferred. The child was immedi-
ately taken to the home of Andrew
Wilson, in Mound Fort.
From one thoroughly acquainted
with the whole story of the unfortunate
occurrence, we learn that Perkins. who
was an employee of William Wilson,
the father of the children, had taken
the two little girls into the
boat with him for ride
across the river. On returning to
shore, the young man Newby, who is
about q years of age. stepped into the
boat and asked Perkins to let him row.
Perkins gave him the oars, but took the
precaution to ask him if he was sure he
could manage the boat and received an

PENSION LEGISLATION.

The gratitude of the nation to the
defenders of the Union cannot be
measured by laws. The legislation of
Congress should conform to pledges
made by the loyal people, and be SO
enlarged and extended as to provide

who honorably wore the Federal uni
form should become the inmate of an
aims house, or dependent upon private
charity in the presence of an over
flowing treasury. 1t would be pub

which Canadian fishing vessels receive

ard our fisheries as unfriendIy and
conspicuously unpatri9ic, as tending
to destroy national industry and in
dispensable source of defense against

Paper for Cigarettes.

There are three kinds Of paper used

manufacturer OF these articles. They
are made from cotton and linen rags
and from rice straw. Cotton paper il
made chiefly in Trieste, Austria, and
the linen and rice paper in Paris. The
first, manufactured from the filthy
scrapings of ragpickers, is bought in
large quantities by the manufacturers
who turn it into pulp and subject it to
bleaching process to make it present
able. The lime and other substances
used in bleaching have a very harmful
influence upon the membrane Of the
throat and nose. Cotton paper is 50

be wrapped at a cost Of only two cents.
Rice paper is rather expensive. To-

tened together at one end These
pieces OF leather bring blood from the

cause such swelling as to prevent the
prisoner from eating or speaking for
days. These tortures being ineffective,
the ankle bones are beaten with sticks
of hard wood. The prisoner is COM
