Grape Wine,

Gather the grapes when very ripe; pick off
the unsonnd and unripe berries. The bum
ches are then mashed in mashng tub, or
pressed through small mill, breaking the
skin but not the seed, and thrown into the
press, and the screw applied until the skins
are pressed dry.
Fermentation is very simple, The juice
is put into clean casks, in cool cellar, and
the casks filled within about four or five in
ches of the bung, and the bupg put on loose
ly. The gas escapes, but the wine does not
run over. In from two to four weeks, gen.
orally, the fermentation ceases. and the wiue
clears; then ill up the casks aud tighten
the bungs. In February Or March, rack off
into clean casks. In the spring, moderate
fermentation will again take place; after that
the wine refnes itself, and is ready for bot
Ting or barreling. Use no brandy or sugar
if the grapes are sound and well rpened.
Keep bunged up or corked tight, and in a
cool cellar, and the wine will improve by age
for many years.

The Western Pork Trade.

The Louisville Courier gives promising
account of the coming Pork harvest. Thro'-
out Kentucky and Indiana there is large
increaseof hogs this season which arc worth
ten per cent. more than they were last; ow
ing it is said, to the fact that the farmers are
feeding them on corn. The same account
is given of Ohio.
Already some operators in Louisville have
purchased for delivery early in the fall some
10000 hogs which will be fattened in Indi-
ana. and will be delivered in the Falls City
at So to 1926 gross. Some days ago we
stated that large sized lots had been con-
traeted for at $4, so net. A provision deal
er at Louisville has agreed to deliver next
spring lot of new mess pork-to be man.
ufacturcd from the coming crop-at $15,
which is nearly IS per bbl less than at pre-
sent prices.
The Vincinnes Gazette says-We are as
surcd that the crop of Pork next fall will
be very heavy throughout the Wabash Val
ley. 1t is now pretty certain that the corn
will yield an immense harvest, and farmers
stipulated by the good prices of last yeal
seem disposed to produce as much pork as
possible,

Red Ants.

The Ladies will be glad to hear of rem
edy for the troublesome annoyance which so
many experience by their cupboards, pantry
&C., being infested with the small red ant.
A correspondent of the Dollar Newspaper
gives the following;
"Take six cents worth of corrosive subli-
nate, pour it upon pint of boiling water.
and dhaving thoroughly cleansed the place in
tested by the ants, apply the mixture with a
paint brush, exactly as though you were
painting. Be particular to wet every crack
and crevice. If is closet. or any other
enclosed place, leave it open until it is dry,
which will be but few minutes. The ope-
ration may possibly need repeating in fort
night, but one application is frequently suf-
fcient, The bottle containing the iquid, |
suppose need hardly say, should be mar
ked poison, and placed out of the reach OF
young servants or children. With this pre-
caution, the remedy is safe as well as eitec-
tual.

A. Dashing Young Widow,

Of all the things in creation there is moth
ing so captivating as blooming young wi
dow; nothing so loving, nothing 50 loveable.
The following from the Lawrence Register,
is case in point, While in Arkansas in
December last, we saw and conyersed with
Young and beautiful widow only q years
old. who had followed to the grave the bo-
dies of her four husbands. 1t was at coun-
try party, in that wild region, we first saw
her. We liked her appearance and obtain
ed an introduction, She was all life and
animation. The pleasures of the dance was
her delight, and she appeared the "gayest Of
the gay" We spent half an hour in conver-
sation with the Arkansas belle. We talked
of the country, wild game, different kinds
of life, single and matrimonial, &c., about
which she spoke well and correctly. In a
tender tone of voice. (for we felt interested
in this dazzling beauty, we inquired, "Ma-
dam, how long has your last husband been
dead?" "Ten days, yesterday" replied the
afflicted widow. Good heavens!" thought
we, ga husband been dead ten days, and his
widow one of the gayest dancers at ball. -
We were SO much astonished that we left
her without ceremony. On inquiry, next
morning, we found out that what she told us
was true Her husband No. 4, for several
years had represented his county in the Le-
gislature, and was highly esteemed, not as
a talented Legislator, but as clever jolly
kind of a man. The man this wild-woods
belle entraps for No. 5, may the gods fore

Astronomical.

The unusual spccticle is now presented,
says, the New York Tribune of all the
visible planets being above the horizon
early in the night; and they are so distribu-
ted as to mark the line of the ecliptic or
the plane their own aud the earth's orbit,
with distinctness. With Venusin the West,
said to be more brilliant at present than at
any other time within the last ten years, and
Jupiter, with his usual splendor in the East,
with the ''lesser lights" Mars and Saturn,
between them, the planetary orbs affords an
interesting view to all who take pleasure in
such conJemplations. Mars now appears
much reduced in size and brilliancy, on ac-
count of the relative position Of himself and
the earth in their respective orbits, but still
retains its ruddy glow. The pale white line
of Saturn makes him appear like a star OF
the second magnitude. There with the fine
consultations of the Scorpion, Lyra, and
the great bear, all visible at present make
the contemplation of the "starry heavens"
interesting and instructive.

Despising Household Duties.

''In this neglect of household care Amer
lean females stand alone. A German lady.
no matter how lofty her rank, never forgets
that domestic labors conduce to the health
of body and mind alike. An English lady,
whether she be only agentlemen's wife Or
a dukes, does not despise the household,
and even though she has a housekeeper, de-
votes a portion of her time to this, her true,
happiest sphere. 1t is reserved for our re-
publican fine ladies to be more choice than
even their monarchial and aristocratic sisters.
The result is lassitude of mind often as
fatal to health as the neglect of bodily exer-
else. The wife who leaves her household
cares to servants, pays the penalty which
has been affixed to idleness since the found
alton of the world, and either wits away
from sheer eanui, or is driven into all sorts
of fashionable follies to find employment

Going Up.

We have never heard Of so easy and yet
so laughable method as that contained in
a sketch from the Spirit Of the Times, which
gives All account OF Joe Merriweather's as
cent, as told in the following extract by his
brother:
"You recollect, Mr.. Harris" said he,
"that brother Joe was alters a dreSsy sort of
a chap-fond ov brass buttons on his coat,
and the farm est kind ov red neckerchers;
and this time he had on pair ov buckskin
breeches, with straps under his boots. Well,
when | was talkin' to him ov the prospect
next day, all oy sudden, [ thought the lit
tie feller was a growing uncommon tall, till
diskivered that the buckskin breeches, that
wur as wet as young rooster in spring
rain, war beginnin' to smoke and draw up
kinder, and war liftin brother Joe off the
ground.
Brother Joe," seq l, "youre goin' up
"Brother Tom," sez he, "l amt don' any
thing else" And he scrunched down mitey
hard; but it warnt of no use, fur afore long
he wur q matter ov some fifteen feet in the
air.
"Merciful powers!' interrupted the wild
ow.
"Brother Joe," sez /. 81 am here" sez
he. "Catch hold ov the top ov that black
jack" sez I. "Talk!' sez brother Joe, and
he sorter leaned over and grabbed the sap
lin. But twan't of no use, fur, old woman,
eff you'll believe me, it gradually began to
give away at the roots, and ofore he'd go
five foot higher, it jist split out'n the ground
as you'll pull up spring reddish"
"Byother Joe" sez |, agin. "1'm list
in'in," sez he. "Cut your straps" sez |
for seed it was the last chance. "Talk!
sez brother Joe, though he looked sort re
proachful at me, for broachn' sich a subject
But, arter apparently coosiderin' awhile, hC
out with his jack-knife, and leanin' owe
made a rip at the sole ov his left boot
There was a considerable deal CIV cracklin
fur second or two, then a crash, sorter lik
as if a wagon load ov cord wood had brul
down, and the fust / knowed the tother ley

Tomatoes.

An excellent mode of preparing tomatoes
for the table, is to take them when hey have
attained their full growth, but before ripen-
ing, (they will answer as soon as large e.
nough; } pare, slice and boil them in water
till they are tender. While they are boiling
prepare as much toasted bread as is wanted,
and put it, with little butter in deep
plate Take the tomatoes from the fire, and
if there is not water enough upon them to
soak the bread, pour on as much boiling
as will be sufficient, and turn them upon the
bread. Add salt and pepper to suit the
taste, stir together, and they are ready for
the table.
1t is agreeable and healthy, of which all
will be convinced who give it a fair trial
Ripe tomatoes can be prepared in the same
way, but do not think they are as good
Trv it.

Seventeen Year Locusts.

As was predicted last year, the seventeen.
year locusts have made their appearance in
Connecticut. In 1918 and in 1885, their
presence on lot of land about fifty rods
square, some three miles from the North
Glastonbury post-offiice, is chronicled. The
woods on that spot are now alive with their
music. I'D.
Facts prove that the commonly received
notions Of the seventeen year locusts" are
erroneous. Prof jaeger, in one of his lee
lures before the Institute at Bristol, stated
that they donot appear at periodical inter-
walls of seventeen years. He had found
them every year for more than twenty years
past, but like the "May bug" and ''rose
bug" they are more numerous some years
than others.

A Broken Heart.

The interesting case OF a literally broken
heart we subjoin, was related by DR.. j. X.
Mitchell, of the Jefferson College, Philadel-
phia, to his last winter, while lecturing on
the diseases of the heart. 1t will be seen,
on perusing it, that the expression, "broken
hearted" is not merely fgurative;
In the early part ofhis medical career DR..
NJ. accompanied as a surgeon packet that
sailed between Liverpool and one of our
southern ports. On the return voyage, soon
after leaving Liverpool, while the doctor and
the captain of the vessel, weather beaten
son of Neptune, but possessed of uncommon
ly fine feelings and strong impulses, we're
Iconversing in the latter's state room, the
Icaptain opened large chest and carefully
took out a number Of articles of various de-
scription, which he arranged ubon the table
DR.. M. surprised at the display of costlyjew-
els, ornaments, dresses, and all the varied
Iparaphernalia of which ladies are naturally
fond, inquired of the captain his object in
having made SO many valuable purchases.
The sailor, in reply, said that for seven or
eight years he had been devotedly attached
to a lady, to whom he had several times
made proposals Of marriage, but was as of
ten rejected; that her refusal to wed him
however, had onl ly stimulated his love to
greater eXertion; and that finally, upon re-
neWing his offer, declaring in the ardency
Of his passion that without her society, life
was not worth having, she consented to be-
come his bride upon his return from his
n aSytv III a ca nJ-arin,-aI Of t1,o
prospect of marriage, from which in the
warmth ofhis feelings, he probably antici-
pated more happiness than is usually allotted
to mortals, that he spent all his ready money,
while in London, for bridal gifts. After ga
zing at them fondly forsome time, and re-
marking on them in turns II think this will
please Annie, and 81 am sure she will like
that" he replaced them with the utmostcar
This ceremony he repeated every day dur
ing the voyage; and the doctor often obser-
we'd tear gllstening in his eye, as he spoke
of the pleasu he would have in presenting
them to his atfiauced bride.
I On reaching his destination, the captain
arraved himself with more than usual pre-
cision, and discmbaked soon as possible, to

pinto the carriage awaiting him, he was
called aside by two gentlemen, who desired
to make a communication, the puIport of
which was that the lady had proved unfaith-
fulto the trust reposed in her and married
another, with whom she had decamped
shortly before. Instantly the captain was
observed to clap his hand to his breast and
fall to the ground. Hewas taken up and
conyeyd to his room on the vessel. Dr.M
was Immediately summoned; but before he
reached the poor captain he was dead. A
post mortcm examination revealed the cause
of his unfortunate decease. His heart was
literally torn in twain! The tremendous pro
pulsion of the blood consequent upon such a
violent nervous shock, forced the powerful
muscular tissues assundcr, and life was at
end. The heart was broken.

Eruptions On the face.

Dissolve an ounce of borax in a quart Of
water. and apply it with fine sponge every
evening before going to bed. This will
smooth the skin when the eruptions do not
proceed from an insect working under the
cuticle. Many persons faces are disGgured
by red eruptions, caused by small creature
working under the skin, A very excellent
remedy is to take the flour of sulphur and
rub it on the face dry. after washing in the
morning. Rub it well in with the fingers
and then wipe off with dry towel. There
are many who are not a little ashamed OF
their faces who can be completely cured il
they follow these directions.

From experience in their growth, and a
close observation oftheir effects we are pre-
pared to say, that this is one Of the best
roots grown for the food of milch eows--and
are justified in affirming, that the carrot is
a higly nutritive root-tha milch cows, fed
properly with ii, yield more milk than when
fed upon hay alone, yield it ofa better quail
ity, and, wilhal, thrive upon it; but carrots
as well as parsnips, sugar beets, mango wurt-
eel, or, indeed, any other roots, when fed to
mich COWS, should be mixed with cut straw
hay, or fodder of some kind; besides which
they should be given other portions of long
provender uncut, or cut, as the feeder may
best like, by itself. When given roots, cat
tie of course, consume less long food, but
still they should receive such portions, as
when added to the roots they may receive.

ter to full feed Of hay, fodder, or Other

Does a Man Own Himself?

Herbert Spencer, in his work entitled $50
cia! Statistics" refutes Proudham's celebra-
ted maxim, "Property is robbery" in a
highly original and curious manner. "lf
ali property is robbery" says Mr.. Spencer.
''thep, among other consequences, it follows
that man can have no right to things he
consumes for food. And if these are not
his before eating them, how can they become
his at all? AS Locke asks, when do they
begin to be his? when he digests? when he
eats or when he boils? or when he brings
them home? If no previous act can make
them his property, neither can progress OF
assimilation do it; not even their absorption
into the tissues. Wherefore pursuing the
Idea, we arrive at the conclusions, that as
the whole of his bones, muscles, skin. DC,
have been thus built up for nutriment not
belonging to him, man has no property in
his own flesh and blood-=can have NO valid
| title to himself-has ITO more claims to his
own limbs than he has to the limbs of anothl.

of Kings and Emperors against nations seek
ting to establish for themselves republican or
constitutional governments.
49, That slavery is sin against God, and
a crime against man, which no law nor IL
sage can make right, and that Christianity,
Humanity and Patriotism, alike demands
its abolition.
IA. That the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850
is repuguant to the Constitution, to the prin-
ciples of the common law, to the spirit OF
Christianity, and to the sentiments of the
civilized world. We therefore, deny its
binding force upon the American people,
and demand its Immediate and total repeal.
Is. That the doctrine that any human
law is tinality, and not subject to moditi-
cation or repeal, is not in accordance with
the creed of the founders of our government,
and is dangerous to the liberties of our
people.
Is. That the independence of Hayti ought
to be recognized by our Government, and
our commercial relations with it placed on
the footing Of the most favored nations.
II, That, as by the constitution, "the ci.
tizens of each State shah be entitled to all
privileges and immunities of citizens of the
severals States," the practice of imprisoning
colored seamen of other States; while the
vessel to which they belong lie in port
and refusing the exercise of the right tC
bring such cases beforesthe Supreme Court
of the United States, to test the legality o.
such proceedings, is a aagrant violation O
the Constitution, and an invasion of the
rights of the citizens of other States, utterly
inconsistent with the profession made by
the shareholders, that they wish the provi
sions Of the Constitution faithfully observed
by every State in the union.
49, That we recommend the introduction
into all treaties hereafter to be negotiated
between the United Stetes and Foreign ma
tions, Of some provision for the amicablt
settlement of difficulties by resort to deci
sive arbitration.
10. That the Free Democratic party il
not organized to aid either the Wing or tho
Democrat wing of the great Slave Compro
mise Party of the nation, but to defeat then
both; and that repudiating and renouncin!
both as hopeless corrupt and unworthy o
confidence, the purpose ofthe Free Democra
cy is to take possession.of the Federal Gov
ernment and administert it for the better pro
lection of the rights and interests of th
whole people.
