Johneburgh, Anff. 90th, 18?? |0rOne of the saddest phases of Washington life is diiily presented at the free lunch tables of our large hotels Here one sees daily gathered, with greed begotten of want, and'which de­ bars all that politeness so becoming to any one at un eating table, men whose mission in life has been defeated in the uncertainties of war and polit ics and whose names though once great, have sunk Into obscurity in the rapid changes of onr system of government. The general and the statesman of yes­ terday come to-day to the bar-room, and surreptiously seek that food which is intended for regular customers, and they who onoe looked upon the bar­ keeper as a low-lived individual now approach him obsequiously and leave him sneakiugiy when he detects them In the act of pocketing the crackers and cheese. What a sad commentary upon the vicissitudes of men wiio make life artificial!

There is a enrious story aboot some native Wines which are extensively advertised nowa­ days, and have only recently been put upon the market. Dr. Underhill, the well-known crape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871. Some of his heirs entertained temperance views of such extreme kind, that they were unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on , hand to be sold or any more to be made. The grapes have sometimes been sent to market, and sometimes left to decay upon the vines. It is only now that the other heirs have succeeded In arranging for a settlement of the estate and the sale of the wines on hand. Among these is a wine cf the vintage of 1864, described as a "Sweet Union Port," but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more than any other European wine, ana being wholly unlike any other wine of American growth. Its purity, age and mellowness are remarkable, and Doth physicians and wine- fanciers have a special interest in it as the oldest native wine now accessible in any con­ siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the - hands of the well-known wholesale grocery house of the Thurber*.--7/. Y, Tribtmt, Nov. ig, t&TJ. The above speaks for itself, but we woold add (hat this is the pure juice of tha grape, neither drugged, liquored nor todUnd; that it has been ripened and mellowed by age, and for medicinal or sacramental purposes it is Unsurpassed. It can be obtained from most of the leading Druggists throughout the United States, and at wholesale from the undersigned, who will forward descriptive pamphlet, free of charge, on application.
