Preserving Fruits.

The following directions for pre-
serving Theoretically sealed jars, will
be interesting to ho1sekeepers at the
present time.
Select only fresh fruits or vegetable.
Stale and fermented articles can new
er he preserved, nor the decay already
commenced arrested. Be particular
and know to a certainty that your ar
ticles are fresh. No vegetables ex-
cept tomatoes can be procured in the
large cities fresh enough for preserv-
ing.
Plums.-Make a syrup, using about
half a pound Of sugar for a pound Of
fruit. Boil the plums in this syrup
until The fruit is tender; then fill the
jars and close up while hot.
Peaches.-Pare and cut the peach
es. Make a syrup, using from quar-
ter TO half pound sugar to a pound
Of fruit. Boil the syrup five or ten
minutes; then put in the peaches and
boil until they are thoroughly heated
through; be sure that the fruit is we'll
heated and then fill the jars and
close Immediately.
Melons.--Place pieces OF board I'M
der those ripening-they loose favor
on the side in contact with the grouud.
Pick as fast as they ripen, otherwise
the best aroma will be lost. Save
seeds of the earliest and the best.
Quinces.-Peal and quarter them, and
boil in water until TENDER then do
them in tho same way as peaches
They will require rather more sugar
than peaches.
Pears Same as ounces, except that
they will require less sugar.
Apples-Pare, quarter and boil, un-
til tender, but not long enodgh to
break in pieces; then add as much SUI
gar as will sweeten to the taste, and
let the whole boil two or three min
utes. While hot, pour into Che jar and
close up.
Tomatoes.-Takeo off the skin and
boil them one hour, or enough to cook
them for the table. Se9son to the
taste, and fill the jars and close up
boiling hot. These being a very jul
cy article, require much longer boil
ing than most other things, to boil
the water away.
If the above proportion Of sugar
makes the fruit sweeter than is desira-
BILE, it can be kept with rather less.
but green fruit requires more than ripe

Is Cotton King.

The Charleston Mercury of late date
says: ....5,..
1--WE can make the foreign nations who re.
quire our cotton our friends-nay, our allies
against the United States, to put an end to
the war which interferes with their necessities
and welfare. Neither TO Great Britain nor
France would war with tue g. s. be one
half as disastrous as the deprivation Of tie
cotton of the Confederate States. The Gem
meree of the United States is nothing to them.
On cotton. therefore, more than on fighting on
sea or land, do we rely for coercing the recog-
milton by foreign nations of the independence
Of the Confederate States and the termination

Training Colts.

1t is a mistaken idea with some
that colts mnst be subdued by the lash
or other rough means. Gentle treat
ment is far preferable to any other in
preparing colts for service. It is
much better to commence training
colts while they are running with
their dams, for then they are more
easily managed. But if they are al
lowed to run unnroIested until they
are large enough for service, they are
much more difficult to train unless ju-
diciously managed To train them
a little discretion only is required
He should be put in a stable or some
other convenient place where you can
have access. to him without danger
You should then approach him, at tic
same time speaking gently to him.
Then rub his face and nose, and by all
rcans teach him that you are his
friend. You then can put bridleon
him, (which should be very strong,)
and lead him out on an open field
Let some one hold him, get on him
gently andrepeltod with your breast
on his ha-k. Then let him be led a.
round, and in a short time you can
get astride him, take the reins and
manage him Yourself.

Andrew johnson On Slavery End se0essi0n..

Andrew johnson on Slavery and Secession.
Ia his speech at Lebanon, Tennessee, on the
I'd inst. Gov. johnson said:
Men tell US We must compromise. We will
compromise only by making them submit; by
doing as Jefferson did with Burr, conquer
them, and then make them obedient. What
better Government do we want than the pres
ent? What have we got to compromise? Has
any one "lost his rights in the Union? II so,
let him come forward aud look me in the face
and tell me what he has lost. Lost your rights?
Well, l have determined TO give all who say
this chance to get their rights, by sending
them off South to fight for their rights, and
give them in exchange for some Of those poor
fellows in the rebel army who have found their
rights and want to come home. don't think
those fellows who bluster about rights have
much appetite for fighting. Some of them
would rather go to the devil than enter the ar
my. Rights iHdeed. They gave me mine by
turning my sick wife and little boy into the
streets. That is the way they gave me my
rights. Let me tell these clamorers that there
are 100000 white people and only $4,000
Shareholders in Tennessee. Y ou are disturbing
the stability of Slavery by your senseess cries,
and making it valueleSs. Its sole protection
s the Union. And a Secessionist is the very
worst kind Of an AbOlitionist. Now, keep
forcing this issue upon the people; make it
question whether the Government or Slavery
shall perish, and will cling to the Govern
ment TO the last, and perish amid its fallen
columns. Rather let Africa sink under the
ocean than this Republic should perish. Per
sist in forcing this Slavery issue, and the insti
tution is gone. Clayton, How
ell Cobb's secretary, said to me, on one coca
sion: 1--WE of the South are determined not
TO submit to a President who has risen fIcm
the mass of the people as Abe Lincoln has. "
Here is the ull-bown idea of aristocFacy-thal
you, the people, shall not send up one of your
own men phebian, without wealth or negroes,
or family, TO rule over conceited and ambi-
tious aristocracy. who estimate men not by
their brains or virtues, but by their wealth and
lineage.

Col. Tom S ackpoIe was appointed captain
general of the White House grounds by cx-
President Pierce, which position he still holds.
He was recently met by Major Ben 3. French,
the superintendent of public buildings, Who
