Perpetual Sunshine.

journey to the North Cape, writes from
Hammerfest, Finn ark. bis Impressions ol

following:

aud would willingly exchange the pomp
of the AFtic midnight for the starlight
darkness of home We are confused by
the loss of night; we lose the perception
of time. One is never sleepy but simply
tired, and after sleep of eight hours by
sunshine, wakes up as tired as ever
His sleep at last broken and irregular;
he Substitutes a pumber Of short maps,
distributed through and finally gets into
state Of general uneasincss and discom-
fort. A IIamerfest merchant, who has
made frequent voyages to Spitzbergen,
told me that in latitude of 80 degrees
he never knew certainly whether it was
day or night, and the cook was the only
person on bourd who could tell him.
At first the nocturnal sunshine strikes
you as being wonderfully convenient. you
lose nothing of the scenery; you can read
and write as usual; you never need be in
hurry, because there is time enough for
everything. 1t is not necessary to do
your days work in daytime for no night
cometh. You are never belated! some
what of the stress of life is lifted off your
shoulders But, after time, you would
be glad of an excuse to stop seeing and
observing and thinking, and even enjoy

There is no compulsive rest, such as
darkness brings--no sweet isolation,
which is the best refreshment Of sleep
You lie down in broad day, and the sum-

your eyes. never went below and saw

or under come unnatural influence, that
they thus slept SO fast while the sunshine
strcamed in through the portfolios.
There are some advantages of this
Northern summer which bave presented
themselves to ne in rather grotesque

How to Make Good Cider.

There is hardly tiihe of cider m adt
now that was made forty years ago.
Many of the old orchards have died out
and the temperance reforms have preven
ted their renewal. The market for fin,
fruits has greatly expanded, and nearly
all the trees now planted are for the Pro-
duction of market apples.
1t took eight bushels of apples to make
a barrel of cider, and the barrel sold fol
only one dollar. Apples now bring eve
ry year from fifty cents to one dollar
bushcl. Fruit growers can hardly be ex'
pected to lament the change that is SC
much for their pecuuiary interest.
Yet cider is still made all over the
country in small quantities, some for the
apple butter, some for vinegar, and still
more for beverage. When bottled and
properly handled it is as palatable and
much more wholesome than most of the
wines of commerce. In affections of the
kidneys it is an excellent remedy, and
should have place in every well-appoin-
ted cellar. 1t is matter of some i'm.
portance that what cider is made should
be made in the best manner.
The apples should be well ripened, but
not in the least decayed. Every apple
with the least speck of rot in it should
be removed if you wish first rate bcv-
erage. The decayed and inferior apples
may be reserved for making vinegar
Perfect cleauiines should be observed in
the grinding process, which should be per.
formed two days before pressing. and the
pomace be permitted to stand and mellow
in the vat until it assumes deep red col.
or. Clean dry straw should be used in
forming the cheese. If the straw be mus
ty the flavor will make it hard and un-
pleasant to the taste. The casks, also,
into which it is put for fermentation,
should be thoroughly cleansed and finish
ed off with fumi cation of brimstone.-
This is done by burning inside the barrel
a few strips of canvass dipped in melted
birthstone. The fumes will penetrate all
the pores and destroy the must and COR
rect the sourness.
After the fermentation is over draw off
into clean barrels and clarity it. This
can be done by mixing quart of clean
white sand with the whites of half do
zen eggs and pint of mustard seed, and
and pouring it into barrel. 1t may
stand in the barrel, or, if a nice article is
wanted. it should be put into quart bot
ties and corked.
This cider will be fit to drink in case
of sickness, and will always bear good
price in market. 1t retails at TIVE nty.
FIVE cents a bottle, and would bring
at least two dollars dozon by the
quantity. This is much better business
than to make "a poor article from decayed
apples in slovenly manner and sell it
for two dollars barrel American Ag-
ricuturist.

o. 1t is a consistent deduction from
the abandonment OF the accepted doctrine
of Democracy, and the waDton breaking
of as solemn covenant as ever was en-.
tered into between the people and thcil
servants, that the Administration of the
Federal Government should be henceforth
regarded as the Democratic party. This
is the new ritual, as explained and insis.
ted upon by the Washington Union, and
the slaves that walk in its shadow. The

We are ready to believe that all the eight

The Mud Sill Speech.

Senator Hammond, of South Carolina
says the Reading Journal, belongs to The
School os Free Trade politicians, of which
the Hon. j. Clancy Jones has alread J
been consistent member. The Senator
boots at the idea of protecting the labor
of this country, bis object being, by a
system of low duties, to degrade North
ern labor to the lowest standard--so as
to place it on par with the slave labor
of the South. The worthy Senator, in
the course of a speech made in the last
Congress, paid the following left handed
compliment to Northern workingmen.--
Mr.. Jones, it is evident from his course
in Congress,-and his steadfast refusal
to vote for sustaining Northern interests,
holds the same opinions, though it will
not do for him to give them uttcrance.-
Senator Hammond, in the course of his
remarks, said:
"Iu all social systems there must be q
class TO do the mean duties, to 20eltorns The
drudgery Of hte-that is, class requir-
ing bot low order of Intellect, and but lit.
tie skill. Its requisites are vigor, docility,
fidelity. Such class you must have, or
you would not have that other class which
leads to progress, refinement and civiliza-
ton. ut constitutes the very MUD
SILLS of society and of political govern
ment; and you night as we'll attempt to
build house in the air as to build either
the one or the other except on the MUD
SILLs." Fortunately for the South, she
found race adapted to that purpose, to
her land. We use them for the purpose
and call them SLAVES.
"The man who lives by daily labor,
and who has to put out his labor in the
market and take the best he car get for
it, in short your whole class of the manu-
al laborers and operatives of the North
are SLAVES. The difference be-
tween US is that OUR SLAVES are hired
for life, and we'll compensated; while
YOUR SLAVES are hired by the day, not
cared for, and scantily Compensated
4 Our slaves are black, of anoth-
er and inferior race. Your
slaves are white, of your own race: you
are brothers of one blood.
