such sad relics-though really unimportant
they may be-vividly do they recall the in

OF that Good Friday night of 1865.
The widow of President Lincoln has never
visited the old home in Springfield. She
said she could never summon up nerve to
do so. A year or so ago she came to the
town, and, quite alone, went to the st. Nicho-
las, then the leading hotel of the place.
Dressed in black aud hidden by long,
thick mourning veil, she was not at first
recognized but on disclosing her name, re-
ceived all the attentions due her former DO
sition and her mistortunes.
Mrs. Lincoln took up her residence for q
while in Chicago, but does not seem disposed
to remain there permanently, as she has sold
out her furniture, and is staying for the
summer at a hotel in Racine, Wisconsin.
Mr.. Robert Lincoln is practcing law in
Chicago. and thus none OF the Lincoln fami-
ly remain in Springfield, town which will
henceforth owe its chief celebrity to the fact
that it was the home of the head Of that

TRUTHS FOR WIvEs.-In domestic happi-

than her husbands for the one, the first
cause-mutual love and confidence-being
granted, the whole comfort of the household
depends upon trifes more Immediately un-

extravaganza and msmanagement-an

y believe. The one great expense, what
ever it may be, is turned over and carefully
reflected on, and the income is prepared to
meet it but it is pennies imperceptibly
sliding away which do mischief; and this
the wife alone can stop, for it does not come
within mans province. There is often an
unsupported trife to be saved in every
household.
1t is not in economy alone that the wife's

Making Cider.

AS cidcr-time is at hand, the Lynchburg
News publishes the following information
as to its proper manufacture, furnished by
a friend, which will be of much use to those
who will give due attention, in enabling
them to secure better quality of this de-
lightful beverage. Our friend says that
much of the excellence of cider depends
upon the temperature at which the fermen-
tation is conducted, and is a point greatly
overlooked by manufactures of this liquor.
AS soon rs expressed from thefruit, it
should be strained into sulphered casks,
and placed in cool situation where the
temperature does not exceed fifty degrees
fahrenheit-if left in the heating sun,
much of the alcohol formed by the decom-
position of the sugar is converted into vine
gar by the absorption of atmospheric oxy-
gen, and thus the liquor becomes acid and
rough. On the contrary if the fermentation
be conducted at low temperature, nearly
the whole of the sugar is converted into al
cohol and remains in the liquor instead of
undergoing the process of acetifcation. The
acetous fermentation or the conversion of al
cohol into vinegar proceeds most rapidly at
temperature of 95 degrees fahrenheit, and
at lower temperatures the action becomes
slower, until at As degrees fahrenheit no
| such change takes place. Independently of
differences in the quality of the fruit, this is
the principal cause of the superiority of the
cider made by one person over another,
living in the same neighborhood. The one
has cooler cellar or barn than the other
to store his cider in. In practice, it has
been found that sour and rough apples pro-
duce the best cider. This arises because
they contain less sugar and more malic acid,
and the presence of the latter impedes the
con version of alcohol into vinegar; BUT
cider made with such apples can never
equal in quality that prepared at a low
temperature from fruit abounding in sugar,
which, if properly strained or racked at
every indication of Termination, will keep
good twenty years"

The Late Indian Battle-SiOux
Beaten by Crows.

ST. LOUIS, Aug 2O.-The battle reported
from Omaha between two hundred Pawnes
scouts and large number of Sioux turns
out to have been fight between fifty Paw
nees and one hundred Cheyennes, at Plum
Creek, at which the Pawnees took fifteen
scalps, captured forty head of cattle and
two prisoners. Many other Cheyennes are
supposed to have been killed and wounded,
but carried off by their comrades.
The Pawnees are now south of the Platte
river, hunting the Cheyennes.
Several Indians were killed by lightning
at the Yankton agency on the 10th.
The Sioux and Crows had battle near
Fort Stevenson, in which the latter were
victorious. Several were killed on both
sides.
THE OREGON CROPs-THE INDIAN WAR.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 2O-The steamer
Continental has arrived from Oregon. The
general crops of that State are good, but the
hay crop is deficient. The experiment in
fax culture has been vary successful.
General Cook had two engagements with
Indians last week in the Pueba Mountains,
Idaho, routing them with the aid of friendly
savages.
The Arizona Indians are plundering and
numbering as badly as ever.
FORT HAYS, August 20.-The Indians are
all around US, and very troublesome. Work
has been stopped on the railroad beyond
this point for the last week. The Indians
have been firing at every person venturing
beyond the fort, and have succeeded in TAX
ing great deal of stock. To-day strong
expedition has left this Fort against them

teer Kansas cavalry, and thirty regular
troops, under command of Captain Aimes

THE OLD OAK TREE.


Oh the old oak tree is standing now
Where it stood so long ago,
When in its shade we children played,
Till the sun in the west grew lowj
And its branches reach as far and high,
And the sky above Is as clear
But under it now no children play,
In the golden day of the year.
The sunbeams creep through the rustling leaves
That fall on the moss grown seat,
And the tall grass waves where in other years
1t was trodden by childrens feet;
And the bees hum lazily in the shade,
Through the long bright summers day,
And the soft wind murmurs with lonely sound,
Where we children used to play.
We are all gone from our childhoods home,
And have wandered far away
OF all that band of the dear old time.
There is not one left to-day.
We are parted now by many mile,
0er the waves and mountains high;
And one has gone to the home beyond,
Through the golden gates of the sky.
And many year has come and gone,
And many a summers sun
Has passed adown the golden west,
When the long bright day was done,
And many an autumn wind has blown,
And many winter cast
Ger hill and vale its shroud of snow,
Since we children met there last.
The weary years will still move on,
With their sunshine and their pain
But therc In the shade Of the old oak tree
We will never all meet again.
But there is n city Of quiet rest,
And its portals are open wide;
And one by one as the angels call,
May we meet on the other side!
