BLACKBERRY Wine.

There is no wine equal TO the Blackberry Wine,
when properly made, either in flavor or for medic
inal purposes, and all persons who conveniently
do so should manufacture enough for their own use
every year. as it is invaluable in sickness as tonic
We therefore give the receipt for making it, and
having tried it ourselves we speak advsedly on the
subject Measure your berries and bruize them, to
every gallon adding on quart of boiling water
Let the mixture stand twenty-four hours, stirring
occasionally; then strain off the liquor into cask
to every gallon adding two pounds of sugar, cork
tight and let it stand till following October, and you
will have wine ready for USE without further
sraining boiling, that will make lips smack that
never snacked under similar influences before

Arrival of the Hammonia.

New York, June 1.-THE steamship Hammunia
arrived to-day bringing London papers Of June 4th
but nothing later from Liverpool than the Niagaras
advices, she having left Southampton Immediately
after the arrival Of the early morning train from
London. ii -~.-1 i. h..
Advices from Sicily announce that the Neapolitan
army capitulated to Garibaldi. The articles which
were signed on board the British war steamer Han
nihal, between General Lara and Garlbald and tho
Revolutionary Committee, stipulate that the Nea-
politan army, $4,000 strong, should quit Palermo
with all the honors of war and embark, with their
material, on board the Neapolitan squadron The
evacuation was to commence June 4th terrible
and desperate fight in which many woman partlci-
pated had occurred previously, at the Strado di To-
ledo between Garibaldi and the Neapolitans, which
resulted in the repuso Of the later, and the imme-
diate commencement of the bombardment from the
Neapolitan squadron.
The above news reached Paris June I'd and was
fully confirmed by other dispatches received the
next day.
The London Times says that Garibald is now
master Of the Island
1t is asserted that Siguor Carafa had demanded a
guarantee for the territory of the Two Scilies and
also the Intervention of the maritime powers Peid-
mont is also asserted to protest against Intervention
Letters from Naples Of the 2sth state that grand
manifestations had taken place there, with shouts Of
"Emanual," "Garibaldi" "Siciy.'

An Honest Opinion.

We 6nd the following in the Albany (Georgia)
Patriot one of the most consistent and Democratic
papers in that State:
PANDEnNG-PoLITIcAL CoRRuPTIos-THE CHAR
LESION CoNvENTioY-DoUGLAs.--F some time past
we have observed with modification that portion
Of the Democratic party have been taunted with
the idea that i'll the event of the nomination of
Judge Douglas as candidate for President of the
United States they would yield their opinions and
vote for him. We regard these assertions as un-
generous and have tendency TO reflect upon the
political honesty of a portion of the Democratic
party. So far as we concerned, we desire to be
emphatic and express ourself in few words. Then
we repeat what we have already said, that in the
event of the nomination of Douglas ,Oiu not sup
port him. not even if he was placed upon platform
so broad and solid that the combined force of an
earthquake could not shake it. If this language is
not plain and strong enough, then we give the OPP
position free passport to taunt at their will and
pleasure. We make these remarks with due respect
to the opinions of those who may feel disposed to
be cowhided into the support Of Stephen Arnold
Douglas.

panies steamboats, stage lines and every variety of
individuals including political partiesand politicians

press is expected to yield to all these interests; Il Is
required to give strength to all weak institutions

men and patriots, and to magnify incompetent rail-
road officers into railroad kings; it is expected to

authors; immortalize weak Congressional speeches

KIND HEARTS.

Let but the heart be beautiful -
And care not for the face .
heed not that the form may want
Pride, dignity or grace.
Let the mind be-flled with glowing tn OTIS
And the soul with sympathy,
And / care not if the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brilliancy.
What though the cheek be beautiful
1t soon will lose its bloom;
The eyes bright lustre soon will fade
In the dark and silent tomb
But the glory of the mind will live
Though the joyous life depart
And the magic charm can never die
OF a true and noble heart.
The lips that utter gentle words
Have beauty all their own,
And more prize a kindly voice
Then musics sweetest tone
And though its sounds are harsh or shrill,
If the heart within beats free,
And echoes back each glad impulse,
'Tis all the world to me.

seA. The passage of the Constitution which pre-
scribes the duty of Congress in the people fail
to elect President is as follows: "From the per-
sons having the highest numbers (of electoral votes
not exceeding three the list of those voted for
President the House of Representatives shall choose
Immediately latter the opening of the electoral
packages, by ballot the President. But in choos-
ing the President the votes shall be taken by States
the representation from each State having one vote
quorum for this purpose shall consist of member
or members from two-thrids of the States, and a
majority of all the States shall be necessary to a
choice And if the House of Representatives shall
not choose President, whenever the right of choice
shall devove upon them, before the fourth day of
March next following, then the Vice President shall
act President, in the of the death other
constitutional disability of the President" Thus
if there should be three candidates before the House.
and, owing to the firmness of the party holding the
balance-of power, an election by it of one of the
three should be impossible the Vice President takes
the office. There can be no failure to elect Vice
President, because, if the people do not elect one
the Senate is compelled to choose from the t,oc
highest candidates.

THE RIcHNoND DEFALoAToN.-The Richmond
Wing has the following notice Of the defalcation Of
Edwin Robinson, President of the Richmond, Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad, which was an
nounced last week by telegraph;
We learn that the amount of Mr. Edwin Robinson
liabilities, which the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad Company have assumed, is about
sl72000. The assets conveyed by Mr. Robinson to
the Company are estimated at from $l5O0O0 to
100000. In any event. it is not expected that the
Company will be embarrassed by the unfortunate
misuse Of its credit and the loss, if any that may
accrue, will be comparively inconsiderable. We
omitted to state yesterday, that in the letter ad-
dressed by Mr. Robinson, communicating the posi-
ton Of affairs he rendered the resignation of office
The resignation was accepted, and at a meeting Of
the Directors, yesterday Mr.. Peter v. Daniel, Jr.
was elected President. Mr. ID, is at present at the
head of the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad Com,

The Price OF wheat.

A correspondent sends us the following article,
the substance of which was very widely dissemlna-
ted during the past four years, asks us to keep it
standing in our columns as an advertisement, at the
charge OF the farmers of the State for the next four
years. If it was good logic fol low prices during the
asst quadrennal cycle it should be esteemed equally
good for high prices during the cycle on which we
are now entering. The millions had faith in it last
ycar-surely they cannot do otherwise than to be-
lieve in it in the present exigency.

"THE GRAIN AND FLOUR TRADE.-For no less a
period than 80 years, ever since 1921 the price OF
wheat has moved in quadrennial perods-four years
up and four years down-wth regularity so steady
and invariable that il is difficult TO cast one eyes
over the scale of perfect natural cycle. No eX-
pansion into verbal statements will do justice to the
expressive tale which the annual prices afford to the
eye. Briefly told however, and emitting fraction

first quadrennial period the price of wheat rose from
bss. in the first named year, to 66s. in the last
Thence to 1895 il fell by regular annual steps $751;
