PRESERVING FRuIT IN BoTrLEs.-Straw-
berries, raspberries. blackberries, currants
peaches, in fact any fruit may be preserved
in air-tight bottles SO as to retain its natural
favor, with but little labor or expense
The following is an excellent mode:
Fill the bottles quite full with fruit not
quite ripe; place them, with the cork put
lightly into them, in a copper with cold wa
ter up to the necks, and gradually raise the
temperature of the water to 100 degrees,
and not exceeding 10 degrees, Fahr.-
Keep them at this temperature half an
hour; then take each out separately, and
fill it up with boiling water from a kettle to
within an inch Of the cork; drive ia the
cork firmly. tie it over, and dip it immedi.
ately into bottle wax, aud lay the bottle
down on its side to keep the cork always
damp. To prevent fermentation turn each
bottle half round twice or three times a
week for two or three weeks; after tina,
they will need no further care. The cork;
should be soaked in water two or three
days before used"
Another mode is to tic the corks before
putting the bottles in the water. The hea'
expells the air from the fruit. AS soon Al
the bottles are cool enough, apply the seal
Iiug-wax, The secret exists in cxhaustinl
the air from the bottles and making thu
corks uir-tight.

s'FiIIibusterism', in the University at
Hovunn.


The teachers and students at the Unis
ycrsity in Havana have got themselves
into trouble with the Captain General on
account of,their "filibusterism." 1t APP
peared that the Captain General in order
10 discover whether he was correct IN
his suspicious that too much filibusterIsm
had been inculcated into the minds OF the
students, caused the removal OF the "be-
dial OF the University, Ia sort OF superior
usher, whose duty it IS to see that the
classes perform their duties, and appoint
ed in his stead person of the name of
Careuo, taken from the Office of the poll
teal Secretary. The students had be-
come much attached to their bedal. and
were indignant that he should have been
turned out at the viii of the Captain &C.
neral to make room for Careno, who
began to make himself disagreeable. In
their displeasure, the students tore down
the edict of the Captain General, confirm
ing Careno's appointment, and drummed
the latter out of the University.
General Canedo having been informed
of what had occurred, in a high state of
excitement, ordered the Rector and the
entire posse conauatGs of the University to
appear before him. He gave them Sc
we're lecture, and it is said some very
strong language was made use of, and Sc
veral ofthe professors resigned their ap-
pointments and are about 10 leave the
country. The Rector and other digulta-
resj denied the accusations brought
against them. They were, after being
cautioned, dismissed with the exceptions
of Professors LIE Reverend. Pinuet. Ca
tro, and the Deacon of Laws, Don Diego
dc la Tovie, whom the Captain General
desired to remain with him, and then ac-
cused the whole four of them individual
" of being tilibusters at heart, informing
them also that he was aware that they had
been occupying themselves in collecting
money to send to the United States for the
purpose of arming new expeditions to in
wade Cuba.
They were subsequently allowed to de-
part, wiLE. this final observation of Gene
raj CaueGo, that, "if in future he heard
the slightest whisper against their names,
they would be provided with lodgings IN
the Moro, and that no mercy might be
expected OF him that he was disposed
to be forgiving, but that he could also be
severe ~
The students have since made an at

said to be designed for R new Jesuit

THE CAL1FoRNIA- MEXICAN INvAsIoN.-We
begin to get little light and to receive
some consistency of rnmor in the matter
of tile invasion of Mexico from California
BIZ the Count de Raousset Boulbon. The
story from California has been. all along
thai the Count was raising troops. and
making preparation, while the story from
Mexico has been that he had given up all
project of invasion.
The i" Universal of Mexico, Santa
Annals organ, reconciles these conflicting
stories. Boulbon has been making prepar-
atoms. but has given them all up. The
French Minister in Mexico, it seems, wrote
to him that he was engaging in pratt
cal expedition, which the whole world
would condemn, and which would dis
grace him. Boulbon wrote back to the
French Minister that he was at the head
of an organised force to invade Sonora,
and to protect certain mineral rights and
properties there, but he had taken this
/ force in revenge of Arista's treatment of
Ibim. Nevertheless, as things in Mexico
| had changed under the suspicious ofthe
iilustrious Santa Anna, he was not only
! ready to abandon. his expedition, but to
offer Santa Anna his services, and even
to present himselfin the Mexican Capital,

TURKEY.-The news from this quarter
is decidedly warlike. The English feet
in the Mediterranean had been ordered
to the Dardanelles, and the feet in the
Channel hadIbeen despatched to the Medi-
teranean. The French feet had also ar
rived in Besica Bay. The Rurssian forces
were moving towards Moldavia and Wal
iachia, the frontier provinces of Turkey.
and the Russian troops in Warsaw had re-
ceived orders to proceeded. by forced mar
ches to Bessarabia. The military prep
arations of the Turks were of the most gi-
gantic character. s..-s.. a.l. -,
The Egyptian feet with an army of co.
600 men were proceeding to the aid of the
Sultan, and the Turcoman chiefs were bu-
silly engaged in raising an army of Io0,-
600 men for the assistance of the Porte.
Similar efforts were also being made il
every province of the Empire. The medi.
alton of Austria and Prussia were spoken
OF to avert the threatened war, and Coun
Nesselrode, with important dispatches
had arrived in London. A late despatch
to the London Times says that
the Emperor of Russia had sent couriei
to Constantinople with the demand tina
Mensekikoffs last proposition should b.
complied with in eight days.

SERIOUS AcclDENr.-The Martinsburg
Republican of June 18, says On We'd
nesday night, man by the name of Con
oily, aud his wife. came near loosing their
lives from an explosion of camphine. He
had purchased a barrel; on taking 1T to his
yard he discovered that it contained por-
ton of oil, which he drew in crock. His
wife, to ASCERTAIN the quantity, approached
the crock with candle when the fluid ig-
nited and communicating with the barrel
it exploded with a loud report. A stave
or part of the barrel struck Mrs. COnoly
on the head, cutting the scalp loose from
the side and leaving the skull bare. She
had prompt medical attendance and the
wound is not supposed to be very danger

be caused by the shock. MiraculOusly,
Mr.. Cenoly escaped unhurt. We refer to
the accident as another warning to those
who will use this dangerous fluid.

JEFFERSON ON THE MONROE DOCTRINE
Sparks in his recent publication of impor-
tant letters. gives an extract of letter
from Jefferson, when Secretary of State,
to the President in 1890. in which we
have the Monroe doctrine foreshadowed.
1t was written in reply to a question pro-
pounded TO the cabinet by Gen. Washing
ton, based upon the possible contingency
of Great Britain and Spain appealing to
arms to decide the disputes then penling
between them. jefferson says:
"I am SO deeply impressed with the
magnitude of the dangers which will at
tend our government if louisiana and
Florida be added to the British empire,
that. in my opinion. we ought to make
ourselves parties in the general war ex-
peeted to take place, should this be the
only means of preventing She ealami-
ty. But think we should defer this step
as long as possible. because war is full Of
chances which may relieve us from the
necessity of interference; and ifnecessa-
~. still, the later We interfere, the better
We shall be prepared" -.

COPPER AND GOLD MINING IN VIRGINIA.
"A new mining company has been Or
ganized, called the Manassas Copper
Mine, al Fauquier county. Va. The
mine is situated on the Blue Ridge, and is
seventy miles from Alexandria, and OK
tends over nine hundred acres. The Ma
nassas Gap Railroad passes through the
property. atfording direct and easy COM
munication with Alexandria. 1t is said
the mine has been surveyed by Professor
B. Silliman, Jr., of New York, and A. l..
Piggott of Baltimore, and the ore has
been analysed by DR.. James r. Chiffon
and Professor Silliman. Their reports
speak forcibly in favor of the mine. The
ore yields 2l.4O per cent. of copper, and
pyrites % 80 per cent. while some
specimens Of the veiu have yielded 80 per
cent. of pure copper. The ore can be
s Mt to Baltimore for So per ton, and to
New York for $3.50. A late letter
from London also has the following:
&c prospectus has made its appear

TONNAGE ON SPANISH VEssELs.-Thc
Secretary of the Treasury has instructed
collectors of customs to abstain from the
exaction of any tonnage duty on Spanish
vessels coming from ports or places in the
Island of Cuba in ballast, or when laden
with cargoes of molasses taken nat either
of said ports. This is done in view of the
fact that Cuba does not exact tonnage du-
ties on American vessels when in ballast,
or entering to load with molasses. The
Instructions also apply TO Porto Rico.

turned, and gives very satisfactory &C
counts of the disposition felt by Europe
an governments to take active measures
to cooperate with the objects of an enter
prise calculated to draw closer the bonds
of intercourse between the two CONT
nents.
Col. Hughes has visited the English.
French, Dutch. Belgian. Prussian Austri-
an and Bavarian courts, and was received
at them all with great consideration
They have all, in a more or less degree
promised to send articles of great variety
and value. and many ofthem are actually
ON their way The contributions of the
English and Prussian governments will
very shortly be here. las they have been at
sea some weeks. Mr. Schmidt, the Prus-
sian consul general. has been nominated
commissioner by the latter power.
We learn that the famous Malechites
of Count Demidoff, which made such f.
cure at London. will be sent over here
His agent has just written letter to that
effect
The building is rapidly closing in. and
preparations are going on in all quar-
tiers inside for the opening on the 18th OF
July.
The English Commissioners appear not
at all disappointed by the delay They
are going on an excursion to Canada and
return at the opening of the exhibition
