WouijD it be in .order for tbe "Journal" to let the world know what it thinks of the movement inaugurated by the Irish Democrats of Vigo county.

LAST year the vote of New Hampshire fttood: WESTON, Democrat, 34,700 PIKE, Republican, 33,782 COOPER, Labor Re form, 782 CORNING, Temperance, 314 scattering, 41.

THE Massachusetts Senate has almost unanimously passed a law permitting di vorce after the parties who desire it have lived apart three years. The only change as compared with the present law is,to lessen the formality and expense.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES sent a let ter to the postoffice of a Ladies' Fair at Pitlsfield. On the first page he wrote: "Fair lady, whosoe'er thou art,

Turn this poor leaf with tenderest earo, And hush, 0 hush thy breathing heart— The one thou lovest will be there."

On turning the "poor leaf' there was found a one-dollar bill, with some verses -beginning: "Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell

If this is not a truthful letter: This is the one (1) thou lovest well And nought (0) can make thee lore it bet ter."

MRS. EUNICE WHITBECK died Pennsylvania, some months ago, at the age of ninety-three. Twenty-five years previously, a speculative neighbor took life insurance on her for his own benefit, hut she declined to die, as he had ex pected, and he transferred the annual burden of payment to a-second party who also got tired of the old lady's at tachment to life, and assigned the policy to a third person, who stuck out against tbe tax, and was paid the amount of the policy—$1,300—a few days ago, just about half the amount that had been paid in premiums.

THE Boston "Traveller" denies the as sumption of th'eSpringfield "Republican' —that General BUTLER'S recent visit to Massachusetts was a movement to secure his election as delegate-at large to the Republican National Convention—and says it has the best authority for declaring that General BUTLEK does not desire to be a delegate to that convention, and will not permit the use of his name as a can didate. More than that, the bast men of the party are opposed to the election of any member of Congress, or Federal office-holder, as a delegate, and the great body of the Republicans of the country will agree on that point.

BRADLEY GRANT, a, welNto do farmer near Binghamtonj New York, died on the 27th ultimo of voluntary starvalion His mind had became disordered, it is supposed, through overwork, and he de termined to starve himself to death. He began his death fast on the 10th of January last, on which day he eat part of an egg beaten up with a little milk. Of this he only supped two tablespoonfuls. His next meal was taken fifteen days afterwards, and consisted of but half a cup of tea and a small piece of toast. Then he went without food for twenty days. His last meal consisted of one ounce of toast, which he was induced to swallow on the 15th ultimo. A few days before he died two teaspoonfuls of brandy and water were forced down his throat. This sums up all the food that passed into his stomach during the six weeks. His body was worn to a perfect skeleton.

THE Hanford Post" tells a capital story of DICK HUBBARD, the Democratic candidate for the Governorship or Connecticut. It seems that he was in New 5fork the other day, when he was waited upon by an attache of one of the most prominent city papers, who proposed to interview him, and publish his opinions. MR. HUBBARD looked at his interviewer, and said: My young friend, do you know what my profession is The reporter replied in the negative. "I am a lawyer," continued "DICK," and when I give an opinion, I expect to be paid for it—that my business. I do not give my opinions, unless to personal friends, or charitable objects. I have not the honor of your acquaintance, and you do not seem to be an object of charity." MR. HUBBARD bowed and smiled. The newspaper man put up his pencil, and changed his location forthwith he was not prepared to fee a lawyer for the kind of opinions required at that time.

SENATOR HAMLIN has introduced bill into that branch of the Federal legislature of which he is a member, to pro vide for a "group of statuary to 'com' memorate the late epoch in American 'History," and ordering that CLARK MILLS shall prepare the group aforesaid Should the bill become a law, the Philadelphia "Inquirer" predicts that Mr. MILLS will introduce that same old horse, rearing in an attitude contrary to the laws of gravity, which he has so success« fully employed in the JACKSON statue, in the WASHINGTON statue, in the Scorr statue, and which may maie a central figure in the new group, with the Fifteenth Amendment mounted triumphantly and uncomfortably upon his back. At the same time it might not be unfair to suggest to Mr. HAMLIN that there are other sculptors in the United States besides CLARK MILLS, and that a little competition, even in matters of art, may be beneficial. As competitive examinations in the civil service are popular: little coi

it would be well to allow a little compel tition in art matters. The country ia a large one, and all the genius which it contains is not concentrated at Washington.

A SENSIBLE WRITER in a Philadelphia journal concludes that intelligent workingmen cannot feel otherwise than ashamed of the action of the delegates to the National Labor Convention at Columbus on the 22d of ebruary, in selecting two aged politicians as their candidate for President and Vice President. If there is anything in the earnest prayer for a higher condition and a larger opportunity for advancement among the industrial classes—and we believe there is much justice in this prayer—why entrust the work under it to men who have literally grown old in the harness of party? Justice DAVIS is a lawyer, born in Maryland, and has served in numerous political positions, and was perhaps the shrewdest manager at the National Chicago Convention in 1800. JOEL PARKER is also a lawyer—a New Jersey lawyer— famous for his suave manners and Demo cratic propensities. These surely are not the men to represent American Labor. We could name a hundred first-class mechanics as fit as either of them to be President and Vice President of the United States—men of brain and of ex perience—patriotic, earnest, and devoted to their brethren: Why should men such as these be pushed aside to make room for two veteran placemen, who have never perhaps done a day's hard work in their lives? ,,, Jy .v" JV

The Wines of Syria.

Tue bynan wines are for the most part light, and, as far as my knowledge erxtends, are ail pure—that is to say, they a neither drugged nor adulteratet, Neither brandy nor any other spiritous liquor, though the former is distilled to considerable extent from grapes, raisins, and the refuse of wine jars, is used Dy the people to strengthen or preserve their wines, for the reason, they allege, that they can not afford it—brandy being much more expensive than wine, and the latter, will keep a sufficient length of time without it. But these various kinds of wine, however much they may differ as regards color, strength, and astringency are all fermented, and more or less ine briating.

Many of the inhabitants, particularly the Druses, a semi-Mohammedan sect, boil down the fresh juice of tha grape into a sirup called "dibs," which they use as a substitute for molasses, a species of clay being employed to clarify it and remove the acidulous taste. This is the only form in which grape juice is pre served in an unfermented state.

In the Arabic, which is the language

spoken throughout the Holy Land, as also in Egypt and Arabia, the generic name for wine in havir, which signifies fermentation, the verb and past participle, derived from the same root, signifying to ferment" and "fermented." Wetber it is owing wholly to this circumstance or not I am not prepared to say but certain it is that the ecclesiastics of the nominally Christian sects in Syria and Palestine insist that the wine used for sacramental purposes must be not only pure but fermented. The Jews also seem to hold the same view in regard to the wine used at the feast of the Passoyer. The late Dr. Eli Smith relates that on one occasion, when traveling through Palestine, he arrived at Hebron at the time of the celebration of the Passover and feast of unleavened bread. Calling on the rabbi and other principal Jews of the city, he was invited to partake with them of wine and unleavened bread. In the course of the conversation he inquired why it was that the Jews made use of fermented wine at this feast, when they so carefully abstained from leavened (i. e, fermented) bread to which the rabbi replied, "The vinous fermentation having been entire ly completed, and the acetous fermentation not having commenced, it does not come under the prohibition of the law." This is certainly an ingenious explana tion. But it is doubted by some whether fermented wine was drank at the Paaso' ver previous to the dispersion, or whether wine jvas used at all at this festival before the time of the Babylonish captivity.

Wine is not an article of -export among the Syrians, nor is the amount made as large as would be supposed when we take into consideration the extent of land devoted to the cultivation of the vine. On the lower and middle ridges of Mouat Lebanon, particularly in the vicinity of the larger villages, the vineyards extend for miles, the vines being trailed on terraces which have been constructed along the slopes of the mountain at great labor and expense in generations past, and kept in repair by the successive owners and occupants of the soil.

During vintage, which continues'six or eight weeks, the grape-forms a large part of the daily food of the population a large proportion of the grape crop is also made into raisins, both for home consumption and the supply of the city markets and still another large proportion of the annual grape yield is made into the "dibs," or sirup, already referred to, and which constitutes an article of .diet throughout the year. Water, sweetened with this sirupand the juice of the fruit of the carob-tjee, is sometimes used as a drink in the summer months.

Although Syria is a wine-producing country, there is comparatively but little open intemperance among the native population.—The Rev. J. L. LYONS, in Hirper's Magazine for March.

TWELVE MILLION of the national debt paid off this month! That is the test of Grants success. How contemptible do all the criticisms of all the critics appear in the light of this fact! "Twelve millions a month paid off." "But he likes to ride with Bonner behind a fast horse." "He has increased the revenue while the taxes have been reduced." "Ye-es—but he would like to take San Domingo in tow." "He has paid off three hundred million dollars of our debt during his three years." "I know it I know it but the dam aging fact is that—that—that he ap pointed his father postmaster."

This is a fair statement of the political situation.—Chicago Pout.

THOSE FOOTSTEPS.

In the quiet hush of the tender night. When my eyes fill up with tears. Comes my darling to me, all golden bright,

With the sunshine of three sweet years.

And he smiles as he climbs to a seat on my knee. To whisper his childish mirth Then clasps my seek—though you may not see,

For my darling is not of earth. Only within the twilight gloom, When the hoars are long and sweet. I hoar all about in the lonely room

The patter of little feet-

Patter of feet that come anti&o, With a sweet yet restless will. Just as they did a month ago,

Ere they grew forever still, And my heart at those spirit-sounds that

So near yet so far away. Glides into the faith of a sweet love-dream That follows me night and day And this love dream, tender and ever sweet

Still whispers soft and low— "Keep thou in thy heart these tiny feet. And follow the way they go." Then my sorrow sinks down as a leaflet will

When the winds are into their rest And I bow with clasped hands, and still The footsteps are in my breast. —Ccsteli'i Magazine.

In a Deserted Mine.

The Nevada "Enterprise" relates the thrilling experience of a man who went alone to explore an old and abandoned mine. The following is agraphia pas sage: "A ghastly place he found the level The timbers were hung with great fee toons of a peculiar fungus, resembling the moss of the live oak, but white as snow, Upon those festoons rested globules of the m'oisture which were transparent as dietilled water, and which sparkled like myriads of diamonds. All these growths however, were not of the form described Some resembled exaggerated mushrooms had stems, that .were a yard long, that were twisted about like rams horns, and wore crowns of the size of a broad hat rim. They mingled with the mossy formation, grew pendant from the roof of the drifts, hung out from the 'lagging1 and sprounted up from the base of the side supporters—in short, in places so filled the old drifts that it was necessary to crush through them. For an hour more our adventurer wandered through the mazes of the level, more intricate than the labyrinths of Crete, or at least than that of Woodstock, in which, as the story goes, fair Rosamond was imprisoned, but no store of precious ore could he find At length, in crowding his way through some fallen timbers in a tumble down chamber, the whole came down behind him,.followed by a tremendous cave of earth, which blew out his candle and blocked the way behind him, com pletely cutting off his retreat,

He now started to find the mouth of the incline, and was congratulating him self that he had recovered from his form er childish fears of goblins,' when, upon elevating the candle above his head to pepr as far as possible into the passage in advance, there suddenly .arose before him a most frightful apparition. Uttering helpless, smothered shriek, which seemed to be answered by still more despairing shrieks from every cavern in the mine— he dropped his candle. Standing square ly before him in the middle of the pas' sage he had seen a tall man of most ven erable appearance. His hair and beard were of snowy whiteness, and the latter reached far below his waist his flowinu robe was also white, but his face was black as ink. In the involuntary act of covering his eyes to shut from his sight the fearful thing, his candle was dropped, and it was some moments before he could gam courage to remove his hands and again look before him. When he did so he was more freightened than before at what he beheld. The apparition was still there, but ten times more terrible than before It appeared a living, glowing flattie, ex cept the face, which was, if possible, blacker than before. More .dead than alive, he stooped and groped about till he found his candle then with trembling hands he lighted it, never once looking toward the awful object till his light was fairly burning, when, with a forced reso lution which he felt to be little more than impudent, he boldly faced about and held up his candle. His ghost was gone, but in its place stood a timber which had pitched from above, and which was com pletely cjothed in the white fungus he lehad seen so much of in other parts of the mine. He examined it minutely, and was astonished that it should have given him such a fright but then it stood alone and in a place where he did not look for a timber in any garb. By shading his candle he soon discovered that the fiery appearance it had worn in the dark was owing to a phosphorescent light given out by the reeking fungus."
