A Chinese Almanac.

A Chinese almanac is a most extraor-

ness. The whole period of four seasons
IS divided into twenty-four solar terms,
each possessing characteristic name
and corresponding to the day on which
the sun enters the first or fifteenth de-
grces of one of the twelve signs of the
zodiac. As the Chinese is lunar cal
cndar the places Of these solstices, cGui-
noXcs, ETC., which regulate the three

mount to a great month OF thirty days,
which is introduced every two or three

Good Cider.

is of importance, in making cider
that the mill, the press, and all the ma
tcrials be sweet and clean, and the
straw clean from must. To make good
cider, the fruit must be ripe, (but not
rotten and, when the apples are ground,
if the juice is left in the pumacc for
twcnty-four hours, the cider will be
richer, softer and higher colorcd if the
fruit is all of the same kind, it is gene
rally thought that the cider will be bet
ter: as the fermentation will certainly
be more regular, which is of impor-
lance. The gathering and grinding the
apples, and pressing out the juice, is a
mere manual labor performed with very
little skill in the operator; but here the
great art of making good cider common
ces. If the juice of the fruit is left to
itself, it undergoes three distinct fer
mentations, all of which change the
quality of this fluid. The first is the
vinous: the second the acid, which
makes it hard and prepares it for vine
gar by the third it becomes putrid. The
first fermentation is the. only one the
juice of apples should undergo to make
good cider. 1t is the operation that sep
crates the filth from the juice, and leaves
it clear, sweet, vinous liquor. TO pre-
serve it in this state. is the grand secret
this is done by fumigating it with sui
phur, which checks further fermcnta-
ton, and preserves it in its fine vinous
state

A Valuable Hint.

A correspondent Of the Western Ru-
raj says that when he perceives his hor.
ses inclined to rub their names and tails
he feeds them little oil meal, say from
one to two quarts day for a week or
ten days, and at the same time make q
good brine, as warm as he can bear his
hand in it, and washes the scaley sub
stance out of the name and tail. and
mixes about tablespoonful of lard to a
tablespoonful ofpowder, and rubs it in
we'll about the roots of the name and
tail.

Brighter and Brighter.

It is significant of the complete subordi-
nation of the Associated Press to partisan
purposes that the fuller the returns receiy-
ed the more promising become the prospects
of the Democracy. The last dispatches re-
ceived indicate that in Indiana the notori-
GUS Julian is defeated, and that we thus
gain another Congressman, while the
friends of Baker, claiming his election by
a majority, of only from 600 to 500 (the
press dispatch says 1,lOO) the Democracy
being equally sanguine of Hendricks cleo
ton by small majority. The gain of two
congressman and the reduction of an
adverse majority ofnearly $4,000 to such
degree that the general result is doubtful,
is as much glory as the gallant Democracy
of Indiana could reasonably hope for.
In Pennsylvania the Radicals now only
claim the State by 1000 instead of the TO-
600 stated as their majority on Tuesday
night. A corresponding decrease during
the next twenty-four hours would give US
the State by a handsome majority. And
to secure even this meager result, our nm
scrupulous foes have been forced accord
ing to our special advices from Washington
to perpetrate most stupendous fraud, in
throwing out the votes of $4,000 natura!i-
zed citizens. The same energy and de-
termination in November. when the Radi
Gals cannot afford to lose a single vote in
any State, give at least reasonable hope
for success.
The present indications are certainly
more favorable and should nerve the De-
mocracy everywhere to renewed and more
strenuous exertions.- Louisville Journal.
The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1868-10-28

Ma. The New York Times says: We
have heard a story, not without inherent
probability, that when Gen. Butler was at
the height Of his activity in New Orleans
before his brother had joined him MIR.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said Of him "that
he was making himself famous in Louisia-
ma by display of the same qualities which
had made him infamous in Massachusetts
at-the Middlesex bar" In other words in,
the most successful period Of. Buffers life
he was exhibiting on a stage, where he was
in full view of all the world high degree
Of INSCRIPTIONS "smartness" quality bet
ter adapted to the peculiar exigencies of
New Orleans at that time than to the ordi
nary management of political business in
America. Since his administration at New
Orleans, he has shown even more of this
quality than he ever displayed before. He
has brought his inscriptions smartness to
bear on great national Questions, and has
damaged and disgraced the country more
than any politician who now, figures in the
control of our affairs. The people of Mass
achusetts have the privilege of infictine
him on us for two years more to come.
