The New York Herald scouts the idea
that, for the purpose of obtaining assist
ancc of the Confederacy to drive the
French out of Mexico, the United States
would acknowledge Confederate indie
pendence. "No," cxclaims the Herald,
"not to obtain Mexico, Canada or South
America will we let her go!" This is
evidently very valuable country; not
by any means the pauper establishment,
dependent upon the bounty of the North,
that it was the custom to represent it in
former days.
"Wc will not let the people CO." "quoth
Pharaoh. Well, we shall see. George
the Third was equally determined in his
time, Kat he had to relax his grip not
withstanding. If the people have not
become degenerate race, the obstinacy
of Yankee tyrants will prove equally un-
availing.
|. As to uniting with the United States
to drive France out of Mexico, it will be
time enough for tho HeraI to scout the
idea of such a proposition when it is
made. The Confederacy is pleased with
its neighbor on the Rio Grande, and
hopes to see him lengthen his cord and
strengthen his stakes.

"This mode Of warfare is contrary to

Rights OF Railroad Passengers.

The rights Of passengers on Railways ia
reference to tickets and baggage, are Of
such interest that it is well TO know the re-
suits of some recent decisions in Canadian
courts upon the matter. A gentleman
travelling on frst-class passenger ticket
on the Great Western Railway, from Chat
ham to Toronto, had travelling bag which
he took with him into the car, not having
offered it to be checked, nor having been
asked SO to do, or give il in charge Of any
official. At the London station where the
train stopped for refreshments, he left it
on his seat in the car, in order to retain
his seat, and ON his return from tie re-
freshment room, it was gone. The Court
Of Queens Bench decided that the compa-
NY was liable for the value Of the bag,
although it was not checked. The system
Of checking was introduced for the benefit
Of the railway companies, and not for that
Of the passengers.
In another case, gentleman purchased
from the same railway, ticket from Buff
falo to Detroit, marked, good only for
twenty days from date" He took the
afternoon accommodation train, which ran
only as far as London; but he left it ut st.
GATHERINGS, an intermediate station, and
the Agent Of the company refused to let
him 60 en- from that place by the night ex-
press. K has been decided by the court
of Queens Bench that the company was
justified in this refusal; and that the tick
ct did not amount to contract ccnferring

any intermediate station, though within
the limited twenty days

WINE MAgING.--Wine is thing not made
by man at all, but only modified at most. It
is a production Of nature. In the purest and
best grape wine, this is most remarkably
exhibited. The grapes are easily pressed
by wine or even cider press, and can be
kept separate from the lees, or allowed to
ferrnent on them as strength is required
Not one drop of water, not q lump even of
sugar is requisite, though most Of the wines
in this country are made with it. But the
fermentation is oil an act Of nature herself
She it is who makes our wine, and all that
men have to do while the fermentation is
going on, in the juice, is to watch it
and let it alone. And when this has ceased,
the drawing off into clean cask and keep
ing it undisturbed in quiet and perfect dark
ness by itself, is all that man can do. a
lump of loaf-sugar in each bottle. may give
a champagne freshness oft but the simpler,
the purer, the less Of cookery in wine, the
better for it and those who have good taste
enough to prefer it thus. The pure juice of
grapes is best in sickness The best Of
grapes, and if sugar be added, the best and
purest sugar, sh ould alone be used .--Patla-

To KEEP TIRES ON WHEELs.-Hear what
practical man says Of this subject: Il
ironed wagon some years ago for my own
use, and before putting on the tires | filed
the felloes with linseed oil; and the tires
have worn out and were never loose. | also
iroDed buggy for my own use seven years
ago, and the tires are as tight as when put
on. Ny method Of filing the felloes with
oil is az follows: use long cast-iron oil
heater. made for the purpose. The oil is
brought to boiling heat, the wheel is plac-
ed on sack so as to hang in the oil, each
fell0e an hour for a common sized felloe.
The timber should be dry, as green timber
will not take oil. Care should be taken that
the oil does not get hotter than the boiling
heat, in order that the timber be not burnt.
Timber filed with oil is not susceptible to
water, and is much more durable. I was
amused some years ago when told black
smith how to keep the tires tight on wheels,
by his telling me that it was a profitable
business to tighten tires; and the wagon
maker will say that it is profitable to him to
repair wheels. But what will the farmer
who supports the wheelwright end smith
