Everybody can rely on these figures
oelng rather under than overrated.
But how is it that California wine is so
Tnaeap, and that we can sell ours so high :?
because, on one hand, adulteration has
spoiled the good name of California wine,
aad on the other hand our wine, at least
mat OF Leon county, resembles more to
'ae best brands of foreign wine than any
other wine in America.
How is it, also, that those 80 highly
s g and snowy Flame Tokays, of Cal
norma, and other exotic grapes, sell lower
'nan our unpretentious Niagara, Della
ware, and even Ives? BY the simple
reason that we can put them on all the
northern markets one month sooner.
For the present no industry in this
country offers SO great inducements as
grape culture in Florida, and no land
oetter adapted to that culture can be
icund than the beautiful and picturesque

/ Of late the culture of grapes, both for

hat Scuppernong alone would succeed,
and that "bunch grapes " were failure

To-day hundreds of acres of vineyards
are there to affirm that "bunch grapes I"
not only succeed, but give more profit
than anything else in this State, not ex-
cepting the golden fruit.
We do not claim that our climate is as
Genial to so large list of grapes as that
If California. Whatever may be said by
our over-enthuslastic friends-it is not,

grapes applies almost to all other fruits.

the Lunar Eclinse.

The total eclipse of the moon on Sunday
night, gas observed by many persons here
with the highest satisfaction. owing to the
clearness of the atmosphere affording an OPP
portunity for uninterrupted observation, which
scarcely occurs more than once or twice in q
life time. 1t has been pronounced the most
perfect, for astronomical purposes, that has
occurred in this part Of the world for many
wears.
A little before 10 O'Clock the faint shadow
cast upon the moon at the entrance into the
penumbra was observed, and this gradually
deepened until 1854 o'clock, when the first
most delicate indentation upon the left bor-
der of the planet was noticed. This in
creased with the same time Of progression
until 1883 o'clock, when the total cell pse
began. The moon was relieved ofthe shadow
precisely at 1:36 O'Clock IL. m, an hour and
forty minutes duration.
The shadow of the earth in this phenomenon
had q decidedly reddish tinge, almost lurid in
tone. Tho reasons for this have never been
accurately determined, but it is accounted for
by attributing some peculiar quality to the
earth atmosphere which refracts the pecu-
liar shade. The clearness of the air made
the observation of this incident in the eclipse
especially interesting, the lunar observation
