APACHE WH1sKY-Our correspondent
at Apache Pass gives US the following ac-
count Of the manner in which the Indians
of this region manufacture their "disquin,"
or r"tisween," an Intoxicating liquor of extra
ordinary ferocity. He says:
"The corn is first soaked for twenty four
hours, hole is then dug in the ground,
generally in wigwam, and some dry grass
laid on the bottom; on this grass the corn
is placed, and layer of grass over it,
Four or five times day warm water is
sprinkled over the corn, and at night the
family sleep on it, to increase the warmth,
and make the corn sprout quick. At the
end of four or five days the corn is all
sprouted; it is then dried and pounded
fine, put in kettle and boiled for five
hours; when cooled, it is mixed with sugar
and -four, and left to ferment for twelve
hours, when it is ready for drinking AL
though not rank to the taste, and fiery its
Intoxicating power is very great, and when
an Indian has quart or two on board, he
don't care copper who is President of the
United States."-Araxonian.

WILD HoRsEs FROM SourH AMERICA

WILD HORSES FROM SoUTH AMERICA
Captain Thomas, of the schooner Burdett
Hart, from the river Plate, has brought
with him five horses and four ponies
They are beautiful specimens of the wild
horse of that country. Capt. T. spent
some time and travelled considerable dis
tance to procure the finest and best that
could be obtained, and these are selections
from droves exceeding 10000 in number.
They are indeed noble sight, and though
they have been on board for As days they
are in as good condition as though just
taken from stable. Their coats shine
and look in every way as though they had
been under the management Of a first rate
groom, and received as much attention as
a man who thinks as much of his horse as
his wife, could bestow. The vessel now
lies at the Empire Stores, Brooklyn, where
her living cargo may be seen, and will be
worth the while of any one who knows
anything of the qualities of horse, to go
and take look at these elegant and grace
full animals.-Jonrnal Of Commerce.

ACCIDENTAL DEArH.-On Monday, May
23d, daughter, between seven and eight
of David Keister, of Sufield, accom-
panied by her little brother between four
and five years old' went early to school,
The door of the School House being lock-
ed, the little girl attempted to get in at the
window. In the effort she slipped and the
sash fell and caught her by the neck, and
held her last. The little boy not appre-
hending he nature of the accident, made
no outcry, and when an older boy reached
the school house, which he did soon after,
he found the little girl dead.-RavsnnG

Ginseng, Hoops and whisky.

North Minnesota is excited, and Cleve-
land, La Seur County is at fever heat
The Cleveland Herald, says:
A commodious house, and all the appli-
ances for washing, steaming, drying and
sacking Gingeng has been erected in Big
Wood, and within the last two weeks
5000 lbs. of Ginseng have been paid for
at eight cents per b.: s720-or, at the
rate of $3.50 per week. We have good
authority for stating that $4,000 will be
paid in this county alone for Ginseng dur
ing the season. Men can make from
81, so to $500 per day, and an active boy
of l2 years will make so cents to 81 3d.
No such sums are made at Pixies Peak.
The same paper says that New York
House advertises for 100000 pounds of
Ginseng and the Cleveland Herald an
nounces that Mr.. Rosemirs has arrived
with a cargo of groceries, provisions, mails,
boots and shoes, and whisky, in exchange
for Ginseng, and that paper adds:
One old maid and one barren aoonadn,
swore by 'our fathers God" that that whis-
ky should mingle "with the waters of Cher
ry Creek, or the house that held it should
fall in ruins, before this fair feminine, for
cibly phalanx of Bloomer beauty. The
whisky is here, Mr.. Rosemire still lives, the
house now stands, and the hoops have
shrunk into their original littleness.
That whisky, it seems, played the very
devil and meeting was called to take ac-
ton in the premises, and the editor was re-
quested TO publish the proceedings, but he
declined, saying:
I'VE believe that some names were OBJ
tanned for that imprudent document By
fraud, falsehood and pretended sanctity, we
will not now mingle the innocent with the
guilty. The gem we shall preserve, and
the day may come that its value as a test
of the literary requirements of the strong
minded women OF the nineteenth century
can be fully appreciated"
And it appears that the women rose in
their might and threatened to knock the
hoops off the whisky barrels and the Edi-
tor exclaims,
No lynch law can or will be tolerated in
this town, and we hope for the credit of
Cleveland that these silly woman, urged
on by sillier husbands, to attempt viola
tion of law, order and common decency,
find no sympathy outside the contracted
sphere 10 which their lack of influence and
limited attainment have hitherto confined
them.
And, again, when the whisky drinkers
were called "loreign rowdies," the Herald
came to the defence of the adopted citizens
thus:
When the peace of this town was threat
ened by reckless mob, who arrayed them
selves on the side of law and order9 Who
stood up in defence of the laws of Mime
sotai The Irish, the Scotch, the Ger
mans, the English, and few friendly, un-
contaminated Americans. They came in
their strength and departed in peace, to
meet in vastly increased numbers, should
hoops be trundled through our streets
without the mantle of modesty to hide
them from the vulgar gaze.

Mons. BLoNIN's ROPE WALK.-The Nj
agara Falls Gazette is authorized by Mons.
Bloudin to say that the great feat Of cross
ing the Niagara on tight rope, will come
off on Thursday of next week-the 23d
inst. He is now engaged in preparing for
fastening the cable in place as soon it ar
rives. He thinks this will be done by Sat-
urday of this week. He even thinks he
would have every thing ready for crossing
by Saturday, but in order to have plenty
of time and disappoint no one, he fixes the
time en-. the 23d inst. The cable on this
side will be fastened within the enclosure
known as Whites Pleasure Grounds, be-
tween the Falls and Niagara City-where
it is proposed to build another Suspension
Bridge. 1t will be at a point where every
body will be able to obtain good view.

EEThe Green Bay Advocate ba

~The Green Bay Adpocate has an
other letter from Long-a-Coming, BY the
way, We are looking for that moss bud and
lock of hair. The writer premises by say
ing she is as "serious as the secular side of
the New York Observer" but she writes
about what she don't like and what she
does like with her usual saucy elegance.
l don't like a man whose face is on the
top of his head. l don't like man who
was born in the time of the moon when
pork shrinks in the barrel. l don't like
men who are only fit to help to fill a CEN
Gus report, or write melancholy communi-
cations about the potato rot, or men whose
intellectual Developments may be reached
if they are employed in measuring leached
ashes.
l hate lawyer who knows nothing but
law; or minister who knows nothing but
creed; or physician who knows nothing
but physic; or a woman who talks nothi. g
but matrimony. They are like hen cluck-
ing about with one chicken, where she
might have had half dozen. l know an
old maid who has been just twenty-three
years Of, age ever since l can remember
She remains in a sort of pin-feather
maidenhood; clucking and cackling over
this one chicken, nsatrimony; and brood
ing over little throb of love she has felt
two or three generations of bachelors who
are now married. Yet like man who
does what he does better than any body
else. l like Paul Morphy. l say man
should excel the world in what he under
takes, if it is nothing but playing pin
l hate insipid mediocracy, and every other
kind of mediocracy, including those who
are so good that they are good for moth
ing.
l hate people who pull down the window
curtains when they see you are looking at
their pictures. hate people who shut the
gate in your face, when they have yards
where the lawns are flecked with specks of
fowery sp]endor, which they know you ad-
mire. Such folks are selfish snobs. They
abuse good gifts. l don't like naughty
people, for it is just as easy to bow as it is
to breathe. I don't like to see people turn
their heads, or look down, or to go into
the house to avoid acquaintance. Yet
many good folks do this, who are neither
cowardly nor ill-bred in other things. The
eye is the proper place to look friend or
foe. 1 like to see the pupil. 1 hate all
violations of good taste, whether it is ex-
hibited in too much fnery and starch, or
dirt and slovenliness.
l hate great ugly watch-dogs and dirty
little sore-eyed poodles. and their owners.
l hate to see pretty little patch of grass
and roses spoilt by putting cruel, ugly
iron fence around it. Why will men hedge
themselves in with sharp spikes that make
the passers shudder? Why not put row
of rasors, to prevent from climbing over?
l hate water-color landscape painting,
they are always so milk=and- Uatery.

A QUEER SroRY.-We learned queer
little bit of history lately. A few DAYS
since, citizen, in order to prevent his cred
itors from getting his property, signed off
some $4,000 dollars in real estate to his
stepsous. Stepsons had deeds recorded,
and in about three days had real estate
converted into money, without stepfather
knowing anything of the matter. Having
converted real estate into money, stepsons
left for the West, leaving stepfather to 'grin
end bear it" as best he can. Stepfather
having put all his property out Of his
hands, now finds himself without sufficient
funds 10 go in pursuit of stepsons. 1t now
looks as if stepsons had sold father, aud
got stepfather into tight place. Stepfa-
ther begins to think he might better have
settled with his creditors. In endeavoring
to be "smart he has reduced himself to
two shirts and bootiack.-Philc. q. S.

AND STILL ANoTueR.-The Editor of
the Germantown Telegraph says: We
will undertake to enlighten Mr.. Pinkham
and his "bread makers yeast-makers, and
authors on chemistry" in very few words
Tho active principle in common yeast
used for raising bread, and obtained from
the brewers, is supplied by the chit or
sprom end Of TIE barley. Barley is malt
ed by being stepped until sprouted, and
then kiln-dried, in order to evolve the sac
charine principle in its highest state
Hence the .termenting principle contained
in the chit portion of the grain. and so
important to the operations of the brewer,
is necessarily evolved at the same time.

ANOTHER YEr.-PlI you tell how I make
"yeast from the stump" perhaps it will be
of use to some of the readers of the e'M-
tivator: Take half pint of cold butter
milk, and stir into it two table-spoonfdlls
of Indian meal; then keep it as warm as
possible, without scalding, for about twen-
ty-four hours, until it ferments. Then boil
a handful of hops in quart of water, till
the strength is all out, which you can tell
by the water turning brown color. Have
ready half pound of -four, or as much
as you think the liquor will scald; strain
the liquor while boiling hot Oh the -four,
stir it till there is no dry flour to be seen;
and after it is cool enough so as not to
scald, stir in your ferment, and let it stand
a day or two in a warm place and you will
have as nice, lively yeast as you could wish
for, to start with. MARY.

A Balloon Afleat.

Mr.. Bannistei-the companion of Thurs
ton on the voyage that had that fearful So
quel-advertises for a balloon that got
away from him few days since. Ban
mister went up at Kalamazoo, Mich, had
q splendidsail in the air, but like great
many other people knew better how to fy
than to alight. His coming down is thus
given by him:
"After dasbing over or near jackson, I
continued gradually to descend for con-
siderable distance, until I found I was com
ing down in heavy piece of woods, and
consequently discharged ali my ballast;
sand, bottles, in order to pass safely over,
which / did, and landed 25 minutes to 8
o'clock, about three miles from the village
of Fentonville, Genesee county, losing my
balloon, however, in the descent, which
happened in this wise: When l had pass
ed the woods above spoken Of, and got
Just to the edge, threw down my Crap
pling hook in order to stop my progress,
hoping to bring the balloon to the earth:
The hook caught fast in tree; but Just at
that moment a sudden gust of wind came
and tore my cord windlass out, so that I
had nothing left with which to stop my
career. So pulled open the valve to let
the gas escape as fast as possible, hoping;
by this means to bring my balloon to the
ground and thus land it. / succeeded in
getting so near to the earth that was able
to catch hold of the branches of an apple
tree that l encountered in my passage, and
just as l did so, as bad luck would have it,
sudden gust of wind struck the balloon,
twitching me out of the basket, and mak-
ing me perform a double somerset as I
came to the earth. The balloon. being
thus relieved, rose and passed on, and, id
this manner lost it.

SINGULAR FREAK OF LIeHrNING.-Last
Thursday night, during the severe thun-
der storm, the lightning played some de-
structive antics, on the farm Of Thomas
McCreda, in Henryetta. A shaft of the
fluid descended upon his herd of cattle and
killed one Durham bull, one fine steer and
heifer, and one valuable mare and colt, be-
longing to him, and one yesrling bull own
ed by Phineas Roice. Our informant states
that the cattle were in field, distant from
any trees, and only one of them exhibited
any outward effects Of the lightning--

ORIGIN OF YFAsT.-I noticed in the
C@ltsuator that friend wished to know
how to make yeast, or where the little bit
of yeast comes from with which to start
the rest going. Well, I can tell how 1
do when | get out of yeast: Take a
quart of -four and scald it well with boil.
ing water, add to it cup of sugar and n
teaspoonful of soda, and keep it warm, and
in three days it will be fit for use. Take
some of that and make your yeast.

TIE BEST PuNPKIN.-I would recon-
mend to the public the California pumpkin
for family use, as the best we ever used
for pie or for drying. 1t is medium sized.
We have raised them for two years, and
being fully satisfied with them, have laid
aside the raising of Others for family use.
Mother makes the best kind of pie out of
them without sweetening. Last fall mo-
ther made five gallons of pumpkin butter
out of them with one-half gallon of molas-
ses. They yield from three 10 four 10 the
vine, and they will grow on almost any
kind of ground, but will yield better on
q rich soil.

DEATH OF DR. BAnxr.-It has bean
announced that Dr.. Baily, the talented ed
itor Of the National Era died at sea on
the outward bound steamer Arago. From
a letter written on board, which We find
in the N. Y. Times, we learn the pasticu-
lars. DR.. Bailey died at three o'clock on
the afternoon Of Sunday, June 9th. DR..
B. had long been suffering under dysreP-
sis and nervous excitement. --s
