there are sharp curves at the .ermni of the

About IL o'clock another testing train

THE GREAT JEWISH FEAsT.-The me-
morable Feast Of the Passover commenced
on Wednesday evening among the Jews
This Feast is now celebrated by vast and
growing population in this New World
Every family is previously supplied with
unleavened bread for seven days. Ia
week the Feast will close with two sacred
days. The New York Tribune says :-~>~-.
'7'he origin of the keeping Of two days
sacred, in these feasts, where the law Of Mo-
ses enjoins only one, is found in the en-
barrassment which the dispersed of Israel
at first found in ascerlaining the precise day
that was celebrated in Palestine. As we
wonder at the extraordinary care with which
the Jews remove all leaven from their houses,
change their dishes, and prepare their new
bread, how foreibly are we reminded of,he'
sacred injunction given to the Gen,iles--
Purge out, therefore. the old lesven-,hc'
leaven Of malice and wickedness = How
appropriate is the Apostolic figure, ',he un-
leavened bread Of sincerity and tru,h'n

PRESERVING FRUITS, FRESH FOR WIN
TER USE.


PRESERVING FRUITS, FRESH FOR WIN
TER USE.
We commend the following 10 the memo
randum books Of those Of our readers who
aim at the choicest results Of domestic eco
nomy and housekeeping. We have tasted
peaches in miG-winter, preserved at BallI-
more, after this method, which, cut up and
served with cream at the dessert, were al
most undstinguishable in appearance and
freshness of taste from August rareTipes
fresh from the tree. We are assured the
same results are obtained with strawberries,
spricots, plums, SC. which are now extern
sively prepared in this way for market. As
the process is very simple one, we do not
see why this mode Of preserving the fruit
with its natural flavor, should not largely
supersede the cloying preserves made with
sugar.-Ed. Hort.
DEAR SIR-In answer TO your queries,
regarding the mode of preserving fruits
practiced in this city, send you the follow
ing, as that after which the specimens you
tasted were prepared:
Send TO your tinsm,h and get sufficient
number Of tin cansters, very carefully and
tightly made. They should be Of uniform
size; and the shape preferred here is seven
inches high by five inches in diameter
uniform cylinders.
Select the fairest uit,-peaches, straw
berries, or what you please. 1t should be
just ripe, but not pas, the mature stage
Fill the canisters, place the tin lids on their
tops and solder them down very carefully.
Only small hole, Of the size Of pin,
should be left for the escape Of air.
The next point is to drive the air ont Of
the cansers Of fruit, to prevent its decay.
In order to do this, take broad boler-pan,
with fiat bottom,) place the canisters in
it, and Gil it with boiling water within a
bout three foartis of an inch of The tops OF
the cansters. The boiler being over a
gentle fire, the water in it should now be
made to boil. This will drive the air in
each canister through the small hole left in
the top, as soon as the temperature ap-
proaches 200 degrees; and in order to know
precisely when it is all expelled, you must
drop few drops of water upon thss hole.
When the bubbles Of air cease rising through
these drops of water, the air is all expelled
and then you pass dry cloth over the
hole and let drop Of solder fall upon it,
This seals the canister up, Theoretically, SO
that the fruit will remain unchanged for a
couple of years, or longer. The INNER
sion Of the cans in the boiling water does
no, impair, the slightest taste Of having been
cooked to the fruit.
The canisters of fruit should be left in a
cool place. When wanted for use, unso-
der the tops with hot iron and the fresh
fruit is ady,-having been perfectly pre-
served without the aid Of sugar or brandy.
Yours, w.

THE DEFENCE IN THE CASE OF PROF.
WEBsTER.-In opening the defence, if we
may infer its character from the remarks
of counsel, i. is not difficult to understand
it. The homicide is virtually confessed,
and we have little doubt but that confession
has been made by the prisoner to his leg al
advisers. If SO, the leading object Of the
defence will be, so TO impress the jury with
The character Of the transactions as to OBJ
tain verdict for grade of crime less than
wilul and deliberate murder. A single wit
ness examined yesterday indicates this pur-
pose. The fact was stated, that the prisoner
was subject to sudden bursts of PASSION
A sudden burst of passion may therefore
be made the medium Of escape.
But there are difficulties, and if the Com
monweallh has made out the fact already
stated, that Professor Webster was not in a
condition, pecuniariy, to pay the money,
which he said he had paid to Dr.. Parkman,
the sending for him for that purpose to the
College, will establish conclusively the de-
sign to perpeirale the offence as charged -
He sent for him to pay him money. The
State AYERS that he had not the money to
pay. Then for what did he invite him to
the College,? There is also other tes.imo-
ny preliminary to the act, which coupled
with the disappearance Of the hammer, the
discovery Of the knife, and the perforated
thorax, wears the aspect of deliberate, des-
perale murder in all its horrors.-Sun.
Since the above was in type, we learn by
gentleman from Washington, that the jury
has brought in verdict Of guilty of murder
in the first degree.

THE Cosr OF lNTEMPERANcE.-Ac COM
mi,,ee of the New ork Assembly in their
report on incompetence in the Slate, esti-
mates the amount annually expended for
drinks, a, 1000 grog shops existing in the
cities of that State, exclusive Of the villages,
at upwards Of twenty-five millions Of dol
lars. They have collected statistics from
the various city and county prisons, with
the exception of ,wen'y-,hree, whence no
returns have been received, which prove
that upwards Of $4,000 incorporate persons
have been arrested in 1919, and that from
four-fifihs To ine-tenths Of all the crime
commis!ed has its origin in in'emperance.

COMPLETION OF THE BRITANNIA TUBU-
LAR BRIDGE.-The opening Of this magnif-
cent structure, looked forward to with SO
much interest, took place on March 9Th.
A, 1-2 O'Clock in the morning three
powerful engines, Che Cambria, the ST. Da-
vid and the Pegasus of from so to 60 horse
power each, decorated with flags of all ma
tons and union jacks, steamed up and har
messed together, started from the Bangor
station. At Z O'Clock the adventurous con-
voy, moving a, speed Of seven miles an
hour, were lost sight of in the recess of the
vast iron corridor. They were propelled
at slow pace, with view of boldly prov
ing, by means Of a dead weight, the calibre
Of the bridge at every hazard. The total
weight of the locomotive was 80 tons. The
appearance Of the interior Of the tube during
the Interesting experiment was of novel
and remarkable character.
The pauses that occurred during the pro-
gress Of the transit furnished an imposing
view OF the interior Of the gigantic structure,
which, as contrasted with that of tunnel
Of similar length, was rendered comparative
I1y cheerful by the recurrence at intervals
Of loophoies Of light, which serve the three
useful purposes of ven'iIaling and lighting
and dives,ing the tube of steam from the
passing engines. The locomotives were
brough. to s,andstil in the centre of each
Of the great spans, without causing the
slightest strain or DETECTION. The first
process-that of going through the tube
and returning - occupied altogether ten
minutes.
The second experimental convoy tha.
went through consisted Of ,wenty-four hea-
Willy laden wagons, filled with huge blocks
of Brymbo coal, in all, engines included, an
aggregate weigh. Of 800 tons. This was
drawn deliberately through, at the rate of
from eight to ten miles an hour, the steam
working at quarter power. A brealhless
silence prevailed until the train came out with
colors flying, on the other side Of the tube,
when loud acclamalions arose, followed at
intervals by the rattle Of artillery down the
straits. Upon the return, which occupied
about seven minutes, similar demonstrations
ensued, and during the progress of the train,
those who were appointed to ascertain any
possible vibration, reported tina, they could
detect no sensible DETECTION.
An ordeal stronger still was then resort
ed TO; a train OF 200 tons of coal was al
lowed to rest, with all its weight, for two
hours in The centre OF the Carnaryonshire
tube, and at the end of the time, on the losd
being removed, it was found to have caused
DETECTION of only fourteenth of an inch.
1t is calculated that the whole bridge might
with safety and without injury 10 itself be
DETECTED 10 The exlen. of l3 inches. These
loads, it is most material to remember, are
immensely more than the bridge will ever
be called upon to bear in the ordinary run
of traffic, though the engineers are Of opin-
ion that it would support with ease, and
wi!hou. much show Of DETECTION, a dead

The UNITY OF THE HUMAN RACE
Startling .4voaca7.-At the late Scientific
Convention at Charleston, DR.. Nj read
paper on the Ply History of the Jew S,
in relation to its bearing on the common
origin Of mankind, which gave rise to some
debate, in the course Of which Professor
Agassiz said:
"For his own part, after giving 10 this
question much consideration, he was ready
to maan'ain that the different races Of men
,cere descended from different stocks, and he
regarded this position as fully sustained by
divine revelation. The Jewish history was
the history, not Of divers races but of sim
gle race Of mankind; but the existence Of
other races was often incidentally alluded
to, and distinctly implied, if not absolutely
asserted in the sacred volume.n
This expression of opoinion produced
strong sensation among the members Of the
body.

invention is termed "meat buiscuit,'' and i,
is stated that one ounce of 1t will make a
pint Of rich invigora.ing animal and farina-
ceous soup. This meat buiscuit is thus
prepared:
''Fresh beef is boiled long time in pure
water, and until the nutrilive portions Of the
beef, or other meat, mediately on its be-
ing slaughtered, are, by long boiling, sepa-
rated from the bones and fbrous and cariil-
apinous matters. The water holding the
nutritious matters in solution, is evaporated
to a considerable degree Of spissisude; this
is then made into dough with firm fine j
wheaton -four; the dough rolled, and Gu.
into the form of biscuits, is then desicated,
baked in an oven at a moderate heat
The cooking, both Of the aour and the ami

awe have only to look back through a
few centuries to find the evidence of this in

case of England, under oppressive servitude

Of America under the oppression of our

colonial suffering. In the life of a nation,
