"iLgrlculture" should be addressed.
Iyc's Seedling.
A great deal is just now being said
and written concerning the Ive's Seed
ling Grape. A premium was recent
ly awarded it as the best wine Grape
in America. Dr. C. W. Spalding, of
St. Louis, President of the "Cliff Cave
Wine Compaq-," was a member of
the awarding committee.
We take the li!erty of publishing
the following extract from a private
letter received by us from the Doctor
a few days since. His opinions are
so frank and candid that we value
them :
"The Ives has not yet been fruited
much in this State. It is not equal to
Concord as a table grape, but it is su
perior for wine. Vigorous, productive
and hardy, it bids fair to become a
leading variety for wine, but that has
not yet been proved. I have, however,
so much confidence in it that I have
planted four acres, about one-half of
which will come into bearing next
season. I consider it a safe grape to
plant, but there remains, of course,
some uncertainty until it has been
thoroughly tested. In my opinion no
grape should be pronounced upon with
certainty until it has been fruited five
years. ALany varieties do well wnen
young and afterwards fail. I do not
expect to be disappointed in the Ives
but I may be and therefore I opposed
the award of the Longworth's Wine
House Premium, giving to the Ives
the first place for the whole country.
For this I have been roundly abused
by Jlr. E. A. Thompson, of Cincinuat
ti, as you probably knew ; I, however,
think I fihall- survive the attack and
have the assurance that I am sustained
by the honest and intelligent grape
growers of the country. The' .Norton's
Virginia is our best wine grape that
is the best that has been fully tested,
and that can be had vineyard prices.
It fruits as does the Concord, the third
season after planting. The ives fruits
one year luUer. This lattei fact ap?ars
to have been kept back by theOliioaus,
and I only discovered it by trial. I
find, however, on inquiring in Ohio,
tHat it has always been Well known
there."
We have such faith in tht- Ives tliui
we will pliiijt an acre liie coining
spring.
Fruit Tree Planting.
We venture the assertion that there
will be planted in Nebraska more fruit
trees aud grape vines the coming sea
sou than in all years combined hereto
fore. Several parties we know of are
going into fruit raising as a business.
Dr. McPhersou, of this place, husibrl
acres formerly timber adjoining tin
city, which he ia preparing 101 iruit.
He has been planting this fall, and is
preparing lor still more extensive ope
rations in the Spring. Judge Musou,
near Nebraska City, who has already
done much in Iruit planting, is en
couraged to do Ptill more He is going
extensively into grapes in the Spring.
His grounds are admirably adapted
and located, and are already surround
ed by a line young grove of timber of
his own planting. We shall extend
our own operations in the Spring, and
put out in various fruits and vines,
sufficient to make, in addition to what
we now have, fifty acres in all in fruits.
We have planted enough of peach seed
this fall to make a peach orchard of
the county.
We have no doubts as to fruit in this
county, especially peaches and grapes.
This one thing, however, must be re
membered : do tchai you do right and
welL " What is worth doing at all is
worth doing ireW." This off-hand waj
of doing anything pertaining to the
cultivation of fruits, does more to dis
courage in the end than all else com
bined. See that your ground is well
prepared ; that you have good plants ;
that they are well put out, and well
taken care of. These points observed,
and we will guarantee fruit in Nebras
ka to the hearts content. ' - ' - -
To Gix. W. Campbell, Delaware,
Ohio, we are indebted for his annual
pamphlet for 1869 "Descriptive List
of Hardy native grape vines, and
Small Fruit." We have known Mr.
Campbell bj correspondence for years.
Like ourseif, he is troubled with
"grape on the brain." He was the
first extensive cultivator and dissemi
nator, of the Delaware grujve. The first
vine of this variety planted in this
State, we 2urchased cf him ' eleven
years ago. It has given entire -satis-laction
in all resects, as many of our
friends will bear us testimony. Mi.
C, hke almost all extensive gioweis,
etillhastt specialty" the - Martha,'
he" reeomiueiius very highly. It is a
white grai, seedling from the Con
cord, umi is saiii to be equally hardy
and prolific- Dr. Warder says of it,
"that taknig its hardiness, healthy -ness,
and all other good qualities into
consideration, I regard it as of more
value than all the rest of. the white
native grapes put together."

Wine Properties or Ine Grape.
The value, of grapes for wine mak
ing depends'upoti the amount of sugar
contained in the juice. ; Wine grapes
under favorable' circumstances con
tain on the average in 1,000 pounds
-;-sugar,."4i) pounds acids, 6 pounds ;
water, 754 pounds. The iuice or must
as grape growers call "itA-is" tested by
an instrument cailed asacitarometer,
which will sink more or less in the
liquid as it contains more or less sugar.
In October last there Was a graje test
ing at Hammondsport, New York, we
learn fnr-u the A ; rirnuAricuU.uji.di
Hon. M. P. Wilder as Chairman of the
committee. The following was the
results:

The "Eumelan" Grape is another
of Dr. Grant's new varieties. The
Doctor was the originator of the Iona
and Israella. ' We have the "Eume
lan" circular with a fine illustration
of the fruit. 'It is an accidental
variety that sprang up on the premises
of a Mr. Thome, Fishkill Dock, New
York. Dr. Grant discovered its good
qualities and has tried it, he says,
thoroughly, and offers it to the public
with his hearty endorsement. This
grape is a "good Black grape, as its
name implies," savs the Doctor "not
simply good without defects, or high
excellence like the Chasselas, and best
only in early ripening, but best also
in the highest excellence of flavor. Dr.
C. W. Grant is the proprietor of the
Iona Nurseries, near Peekshill,
Westchester county, New Y'ork.
The American Naturalist is a
popular illustrated monthly magazine
of natural history, published by the
Peabody Academy of Science, Salem,
Muss. Since .the.Jtirst issue -of tins
magazine the literary and scientific
press throughout the country have
riven the most generous praise to the
undertaking, calling especial attention
to the fitness of its articles, and to its
mechanical execution. The first vol
ume contained 0 leading articles, uim
nearly nuO notes in botany, zoology,
geology aud reviews ; sixteen full page
plates, containing one hundred aud
thirty-lour figures. Also one hundred
and sixtv one illustrations in the text.
Terms, -.-year,- or ii-i -etiiits single
number.
We are pleaded to know that our
old friend li. A. Terry, E.u., well
known to ilie eaiiier readers of the
Ai(t rtit , is still among the fruits
and flowers.. We had lost run of him
lor years, lie used to be one of our reg
ular and reliable conespondeiitsof the
Stbratku tanner. We hote he will
furnish us an occasional article lor our
'Agricultural Department." We have
Iteiore us Mr. Terry's "Catalogue aud
Price List jof Flora Garden and Nur
sery, lSb-J, Crescent City, lowi." He
.-hows a tine Jktf everything hi: his
lin,e; aud as ouly the Missouri river
separate hici iromNtlriska, hiifelock
will do well with us. We will vouch
for Mr. Terry as a tradesman.
The "Walter" Grape. Fersis &
Cay wood, of the Dutchess Nurseries,
Poughkeepsie, New York, have sent
us their circular "Description and Tes
timonials" of their, at present, noted
grate. The "Walter" is a cross of the
Delaware and Diana, and is the result
of eighteen years labor on the part of
Mr. Caywood, say the proprietors.
All that can-jytliiio-said of a grape
is said of Uliei"iValter' If half
is true, it is a valuable acquisition.
The illustration shows an admi
rable looking cluster. It is said to be
a Raisin Grape. Many grape growers
give evidence in its favor. Mr. Ed.
Burgess says : "I know of no variety,
the flavor of which I so much admire."
The Horticulturist and Journal

ward, 37 Park Row New Y'ork, at $2,
jO a year; 10 copies Slo.
Gardi:xi:u's Monthly. This val

Closing Exercises oftlie Fourth
Term of the rvebraslia State
formal School.
PrRC, December 10, 1S83.
The closing exercises of fourth term
of the Nebraska State Normal School
took place on the 7th, 8th and 9th of
the present month. And as examin
ing committee we beg leave to make
the following report:
The examinations commenced on
the afternoon of
The classes in the .
ty, the 7th inst.
A Department
were first brought f. rc.. This de
partment ha-j been t, :ht by mem
bers of the Nomial Dep,.; t:nent, under
the eye of the Principal, us far as pos
sible. It is here the teachers g6t the
practice that they may test the theory
given them, bv actual experiment.
This we consider one of the best fea
tures of the school.
The ciasses in this department con
sisted of students of all grades of ad
vancement, from the alphabet to prac
tical arithmetic, &c. Manv cf the
teachers in this department showed an
aptness to teach truly worthy of com
mendation, and the pupils undtr their
L !l ?i J . 1 . r
care exnioueu a uegree or pronciency
in the studies pursued that spoke well
for their own and their teacher's ef
forts. Tuesday morning classes in Algebra
and Practical Arithmetic were exam
ined. The method of examination
was altogether topical. Topics were
written on slips of pajer and, students
drew their topics. A topic was then
called for by the teacher, or some
member of the committee, and the
pupil holding the topic arose to his
feet and read over his topic, and pro
ceeded at once to discuss it. Nothing
of the parrot-like memoriter Ftyle of
recitation was allowed ; but a thor
ough, clear, concise and rigid demon
stration of every principle was re
quired. No leading questions were
asked to aid the students in recalling
the subject before him. It was either
a prompt response, or the next pupil
answered the question for him.
During the day on Tuesday classes
in Grammar, Analjsis, Higher Ar
ithmetic, History, Penmanship. Read
ing, Spelling, Descriptive and Physi
cal Geography, Geometry and Latin
were examined. We cannot speak of
them all in detail, but will mention
especially the Readingand Geography
classes. We would be pleased if some
of our teachers who are now engaged
in teaching could but listen a few
times to the recitation of the reading
class. We are confident the' would
return to their school with very dif
ferent views of the subject ; and be
aUe to make their classes worth, a
hundred per cent, more than they
are now. ine great central ide;vot
every member of the class as he rises
to read is 1 must express the true
thought and feeling contained in the
book, and to do that I must first un
derstand it thoroughly myself, hence
the reading lesson becomes a deep
study to every scholar ; and the inter
est manifested showed -ijow intcnjiily
in earnest was each one. Everything
in connexion with the class was criti
cised position, manner of holding
book, tones, emphasis, inflection, ar
ticulation, etymology of words, etc
In fact, the object was to do what was
done, just exactly right. True but
little ground could be gone over during
each recitation ; but what was gone
over during, was done in such a man
ner as to make a deep impression on
the mind of the students.
The Geography classes also showed
the great distinctive features in the
school. In place of the old question
aud answer method' the students had
studied entirely by topic, and had
drawn maps of different countries
studied, locating themountains, river3,
lakes, gulfs, baj's, etc., with a precis
ion that showed atonce that a picture
of the whole tiling under considera
tion was indellibly fixed on the mind.
Maps were sketched on the black
boards during the examination, by
members of the class, that were highly
ereditable to them. The class in
Physical Geography exhibited a thor
oughness highly creditable to both
teacher and scholar.
On Wednesday forenoon the exami
nation of the Normal class proper took
place. This class consisted of about
twenty young iadies and gentlemen,
in course of preparation for the active
duties of teaching. The examination
of thfa class was to show, as far as pos
sible, the manner in which the various
branches had been gone over during
the term. Firt, a chart exhibiting
a classification of all the arts and sci
ences was presented, and explained.
The chart was to show the proper lo
cality of each branch studied, and at
the same time give the students an
idea oftheextentof human knowledge.
The subject of orthography was taken
up and located as a branch of gram
mar, which belonged to the depart
ment of science called Phonics. A
word, was then written on the black
board tand a perfect exhaustive, ana
lysis was gone . through with, and
pvery thing was told about the word
as a whole; each syllable and each
separate letter that could be told, and
this maj- serve as an illustration of all
the diHerent branches taught in our
common schools. A perfect systemat
ic classification of all the branches was
gone over during the term, and lec
tures on the theory aud practice were
delivered as far as possible- by the
Principal during the term before the
class. And the readiness conceived
by the members of the class in ans
wering the inquiries of the committee
on questions - of school discipline,
plainly showed that their training had
not been in vain. As a whole, we
vcxtc highly gratified with the con duet
of the school. The whole course of
trainin z showed a depth and thorough
ness that cannot fail to make good
scholars. We were especially jdeased
with the good order and system man
ifested in the change of classes, and the
style of passing to and from recitation.
At nearly every change of classes the
students all march to their several
recitation rooms to suitable muio,
and gymnastic exercises are also per
formed to music.
The school can no longer be regar
ded as an experiment. It has every
elemeut of success, and only needs the
fostering care of the State and a liber
al patronage to make it what every
true friend of the institution can de
sire. But while we rejoice in. the suc
cess of the school,' and commend the
ability and untiring energy of the
teachers, we cannot overlook the fact
that they labor under many disadvan
tages. The building is not yet wholly com
pleted. The grounds arc unpriced,
and there is bat little library or appa
ratus, and the btrildlng very deficient
in furniture. These deficiencies ought
at once to be supplied, and we hope
the State Legislature, soon to assem
ble, will make a liberal appropriation
for thfa purpose. It"i3 a necessity.
Without it the school cannct accom-
phsn what it should. It 13 the duty
& TnoIl&lkT
provision for the education of toach-
ers for our common schools. Let the
State Normal School be placed upon a
firm basis. Let the building be fiin
fahed, the grounds fenced and orna
mented, a library and apparatus fur
nished, and let the school be amply
endowed with land, cr.d we shail
then have an institution that will
compare favorably with the Normal
Schools of other States, and be at once
a blessing and an honor to our own.

Thtrei no oratnria Ameriqa, "Wen
dell Phillips excepted, whose career
is more fruitful of splendid examples,
or more flattering to the character of
the nation, and especially cf the State
he has honored by a flawless publio
life, than the greatest advocate of
equal rights who ever sat in the United
States. It fa needless to name him;
for the Senate has never given us more
than one man who has never once
equivocated, or faltered, or bent the
knee to the American Baal of political
expediency ; and everybody knows
that thfa solitary senatorial Cato of our
days is the illustrious Republican ora
tor of Massachusetts.
Charles Sumner fa the most success
ful politician in 'America. His sena
torial career has been one unbroken
and continuous triumph : and there is
every probability that, if his life shall
be spared, it will be quoted in time to
come as the longest ua well as the most
unsullied career.
How has he achieved thfa wonderful
successi ? N'ot by flattery of the people,
either personal or political. To those
wno know him well he is an unas
suming and genial friend; open-minded,
free in sjeaking of every motive
that has governed him, always ready-
to give freely aud fully of. the vast
treasures of knowledge he has gath
ered up, without reservations in des
cribing hfa associates in frank but
kindly terms; a man in whom there
is no deceit, no love of deep strategy,
no shadow of a shade of belief that it
is even unsafe or unwise to dare to en
act the highest conceptions of justice
and truth. His political strategy is
like the military strategy of Grant.
Mv idea or strategy," said the leader
of our armies, "fa to got as pear the
enemy as you can, and then fight
him." Sumner has .fought his long
campaign against iolitieal injustice on
this theory, and he will tight it out on
this line if it should take him ail hfa
lifetime.
But while to hfa friends to men
who not onlv sympathize with his po
litical ideas, but whose love of letters
enables them to call forth and enjoy
his literary Btore he is thus a famil
iar companion, there is nothing of the
hail-fellow-well-met in hfa manners
toward them or others; nor does he
know how to make a friend for life,
as Henry Clay did, by a magnetic re
ception of a common vfaator: there :?
a certain coiJaess ana preoccupation
in his style, entirely involuntary,
which sometimes rather chills than
cheers his casual acquaintances. This
does not arise from any aristocratic
spirit ; it is mainly owing, wo thaik.
to his scholastic habits, and to several
generations of Njjw England training
which he has inherited, and which sel
dom fails to put this distinctive mark
on the Yankee to the manner born.
Hundreds of men have reached a
high round on the ladder of official life
simply by their popular personal man
ners. Charles Sumner owes nothing
to thfa means. Thousands have gone
up higher than they ought by diving
lower than they should in the turbid
stream of flattery of the people and
their prejudices. Charles Sumner
never courted his own party even, and
never equivocated in the presence of
either friend or foe.
He owes hfa greatness to fidelity to
his own soul. Among a huge mob of
fawners and Democratic courtiers, the
people saw in this orator a max.
They soon found that if they applaud
ed him, he received their good-will in
good part ; but that, if they hesitated
to sanction his bold course, he still
marched onward to hfa goal, without
hesitation and without rest. He has
never "engineered" hfa own electioos;
and yet he has never failed of an elec
tion whenever his name has been put
in nomination. He has never even
lifted hfa little finger to procure the
highest honor that hfa State can be
stow; and yet there fa no oflice in her
gift which he cannot command.
Two incidents of his career illus
trate hfa inflexible adherence to the
doctrine that the oflice should seek
the man, and not the man the oflice.
When hfa office wa jending before
the legislature for the first time, it
needed only a single vote to decide his
fate. He was importuned to give pri
vate assurances that he would act in
the main with the majority of the par
ty. The only answer they received
was that he stood by every word of
every speech he had made on the ques
tion of slavery. Again, he was a.-ked
simply to.go tip to the State House one
morning, and shake hands pleasantly
with one "bhakey" legislator, wham
this trifling courtesy would have won
to his side. Not a step would he
move. Again, after the assult of
Brooks, his election was pend ng, and
it was desired to make it unanimous.
A Democrat called on him one morn
ing, and tol l him he had often said,
in private life, that, after this outrage,
although he wa- opposed to Mr. Sum
ner in politics, if ever he bad u chance
to vote for him, he would assuredly do
so, as a rebuke to the barbarism of sla
very. "Now," said the Democrat, "I
am a member of the legislature; I can
vote for you ; but my party are very
hostile to you. Mr. Sumner, what
would you recommend me to do?"
The Senator did not coax this waver
ing legislator to abide by hfa decision ;
he only answered: "Sir, your case
reminds me of a line in Wordsworth:
" 'The soul may reach a hight it can
not keep!'"
Never was there a public servant in
ducted into oflice who so little cultiva
ted the arts of popularity. Appealing
always and everywhere to the con
science of the people, hfa career fa a
triumph of the moral element in our
politics, and should serve as an assur
ance that the best way to win endu
ring public favor is faithfully to serve
the higher nature of one's constituents.
Next to hfa integrity of cliaracter
and loyalty to principle, Mr. Sumner
owes most of his suecess to hfa indom
itable and tireless industry. He is an
amazing worker. Late and early he
fa at work, with all the enthusiasm of
hfa youth. Aided by a memory which
never fails to keep whatever lie once
hears or reads, he always brings to
whatever topic ha deals with, a variety
and aptness cf .historical iliostraUna
which, makes him an almost indispen
sable authority in every debate. He
has proballyEi5.de more speeches of
the character .termed by the 1 rench
sans rez'ique speeches, like hfa fa
mous Kans33 oration, nnansweratls
ted fact. than any cth:r member cf
either house of Coi.grei-s.
Again, he fa fiivrays a! hb s.pp-cJi:!cd

Scene at the Death lied oTFrcs-.
ltlent Lincoln.
At Carlisle, Pa., recently, the Pres
byterian Synods of the old. and new
schools beiug in fess:on at the same '
place, the two bodies met in commun
ion wih great harmony. Ev. Dr.
Gurley, put'r of the church irs Wash
ington which President Lincoln n-m-ally
attended, in a steech. at tho tabid
gave tho following narrative, whbdi
has never before been made public:
"When summoned on that ad night
to the death-ted of President Lincoia,
I entered tiie room fifteen cr twenty
minutes before his departure. All
present were anxiously gathered
around him, watching to -catch hia
last breath. The physician, with cue
hand on the pufae of the dying man '
and the other hand laid upon Lis heart,
was intent watching for the moment
when life should cease."
"He lingered longer than we Lad
expected. At last the physician said;
'He is gone he is dead.' "
Then I solemnly believe that for
four or five minutes there was not the
slighcst noise or movement in that
awful presence. We all stood trans
fixed to our positions, ti-eechless,
breathless, around the dead body of
that great and good man.
At length the Secretary of War, who
was standing at my left, broke the
silence and said, "Doctor, will you say
anvthing?" I replied, I will speak, to
God. Said he, "Do it just now."
And there, by the side of our fellow
chief. God put "it into my heart to ut
ter this petition, that from that hour
we and tho whole nation might be
come more than ever firm in our devo
tion to the cause cf cur beloved imr-.
lied country.
When I ceased, there arose from the
lips cf the entire company a fervid
and spontaneous "Amen.'
And has not the whol-j heart cf the .
cation responded "Amen."
VV- no; that prayer, tiers offered,
responded to In a most rtmirkabla
