Thus two cities only made away with fifteen times as much port wine as it was possible to produce from port grapes. If we add to this the rest of the world where stuff called port wine is used, we have one chance in hundred of getting port that is port.

SENSATION IN OHIO.
A Prominent Politician at the Bottom of
 the Political ForGeries.

the Political ForEeries.
 CINCINNATI, Dec. 4--Startling deve1- opments have been made in tho case of R. G. Wood. who forged the names of Governor-elect Campbell, Senator Sher- man, Congressmen Butterworth, Cox and Mckinley to the famous ballot-boX contract used so prominently in the last campaign. Wood was arrested on the charge of circulating libel, and his trial will come up in a few days. He has retained Col. T. c. Campbell, of New York, to defend him. During the past week Governor-elect Campbell has visited the city several times and held consultations with the attorneys in the case.
 Yesterday Wood handed over to his attorney all the papers in the case. Among the lot are telegrams, letters and notes that are said to implicate a very prominent politician. Wood told his attorney the full story, but the pa- pers tell moro than Wood. The name signed to tho papers is of this prominent politician, and the contents show that he knew about tho forgery long before it was sprung on the public.
 Col. Campbell refuses to make the papers public until the day of the trial. Assistant United States District Attor- ney Probasco, a nephew of John Sher- nan, is the prosecutor in the case.

His Fried Chicken.
zine.

II Is startling statement, and yet TITS
said TO be true, that an important crisis
in the American Revolution was passed
In safety by the help of dish of fried
chicken. The tradition is kept in the
Walker family in Virginia.
In 1871 the Virginia legislature adj
iourned from Richmond to Charlottes-
vile. The BlitisL-Gen. rarh0n started
to capture it with large force of cavalry
and infantry. He stopped for breakfast
at the plantation of DR.. Joseph Walker,
distant twenty miles from Charlottes-
vile. Rations were distributed among
the men, and the cook made haste t.
prepare real Virginia breakfast for the
general and his staff.
Meantime a messenger from the will.
age rode on in hot haste to warn the
legislature and Thomas jefferson, then
governor of Virginia, Wild was at his
home at Monticello, outside of Charlottes-
vile.
Twice the cook prepared a delicious
dish of fried chicken and cre2V.g gravy
and twice, when her back wasVurned,
some of the hungry British soldiers
dashed into the kitchen and carried il
or. Tarleton was also hungry, and
enraged at the delay, which the host ex-
planned, and told the general that what
there was Of the meal could be served at
once if he desired it. But if he wished
to have chicken he "must set corporal
suard to protect the cook"
Tarleton was a gluttOn. He hesitated
moment, and said, II will wait for the
chicken. Adjutant, set a guard over
those rascally thieves!'
The guard was set, the chickens were
cooked and eaten. But the delay en-
abled the messenger to reach Charlottes-
vile and give the alarm. Mr.. Jefferson
and the legislature escaped from the
tows before Tarleton with his troops
entered it. Their capture would have
been a stunning blow to the fortunes of
the young republic. - Youths Com

There is hardly q doubt that a great
many more rich people starve to death
than poor ones. The case is very plain.
Good appetites and healthy digestion
are what supply the body with life-giv-
lug currents and animal spirits. Stufling
aud examining with the choicest and
jstliest food that the earth affords
may please the palate and fill the stom-
ach. but result only in stupidity, tor
por, paralysis and death. That Is an
old story, Fat paunches make lean
pates, - and "Surfeit is father to much
fast.
1t is the activity Of the digestive or
gans and the healthy assimilation OF
wholesome food that gives vigor,
strength, brightness, and life. And
here nature asserts her impartiality aud
Just rule in the kingdom of men.
Sound discrimination, the separation Of
the precious from the vile, self-goverD-
ment and subordination of the stomach
TO it, true ofices, carry with them a
high reward, the JOY of physical free
dom and life.
The stuffed body may not only die OF
suTfeit, but of absolute inanition and
starvation. A man may be very fat. and
yet all weakness and sloth. Pampered
self-indulgence denies itself the best
delights Of life, and walls off with
pride ten thousand privileges tn It are
the heaven-appointed compensations Of
poverty and self-denial.
The great Creator has filed the world
with dualisms, and set all things over
against one another as looking glasses.
The mind and heart Of man have their
appetites and cravings and necessary
food, Just like the body. Ii is not good
that the soul be without knowledge.
Shut up TO mere routine of business,
confined to the pursuit of one idea,
whether it be to lay railroad
across continent or accomplish
the command Of millions, a mind
may develop in one direction
in one respect and warp and wither
in all others. 1t matters not how or
where the service be rendered, whether
II be in the plaiDest work of daily life
or the pursuit of excellence in profes-
sional life, a sordid soul-serving, a sell
fish passion is the slave of that one pas
sion. And in that it may have won

other respects be dwarfed, withered,
aud dead.
Nature did not make us for distin-
guished doctors, lawyers, financiers, or
statesmen-but for full and well-deveI-
oped, large-minded men.
Toe saddest starvelings, however,
are those that most abound: Those that
die for the want of sympathy and kiud-
ness and appreciation. The body may
be sustained by any sort OF food. But
the soul of man Graves, longs for, lives
upon respect and kindness. Aud no
amount of wealth, no distinction, no
promise OF fame, no silver, gold or
marble, can keep alive the selfish soul
that hs, made its own world.

The suggestion that has been ire
aueptly made since the death OF MI
Davis that his body shall have us hnal
resting MACE in Richmond is founded N
a sentiment emineDtly just and proper
Distinguished a. he was III military
and civil life before the war, his famt
would only have been OF the SECOND
rate order If be had died just as The
great contest began. The immortality
of his name has its origin in the history
Of his career as chief magistrate of the
Coufederacy, and this moinentous pc
,iod of his life was passed in this city.
His celebrity is eternally identified IL
its most enduring phases with this To-
cality. IL would seem, therefore. mOsl
appropriate and most becoming thal
ali that is mortal of him, as long as II
shall resist the forces Of decay, shall b.
associated with those scenes that are
most intimately connected with the
greatest acts of the drama of his life.
In the eyes OF the world the chief
claim which Richmond has to Interest
and dislir elton lies in the fact that II
WAS the capital of the .Confederacy' and
the foremost social IA well as official
figure in that capital was the great man
who has lust breathed ms last. There
are few spots i'm the Older sections Oh int
civ that are not connected with HIM Vi
some special or general way there ar
few elderly persons amongst us who
cannot relate some anecdote OF him per
sonal to themselves. His relation to the
locality was far more intimate than IL
the connection between the Presidents
of tie United States and the city oi
Washington. owing to the stress OF the
INES which isolated Richmond iron
the rest of the world, but thereby only
made it the more conspicuous to all
men.
Ofall the Southorn cities, 1t is pecu-
liarly incumbent upon Richmond To
show the memory of hr. DAVIS
the most marked respect. On the
day of his burial, every fire bell in the
city should be made to toll during the
progress of the funeral ceremony, and
our people should exhibit in every pub
lie way in their power, ON the same
solemn occasion, the profound venera-
ton they entertain for his life and
character. Ii there is any hope that
Mississippi will be wiliing,to give up pos
session of his body, then the proper
steps should be taken at the right
time looking to its removal to this city
and its final interment in our midst.
