Wines from Small Fruits.

The season is now at hand for making
these fermented beverages, which are
highly priced in many households.
One recipe will answer for all:
TO a quart OF juice from these fruits,
add three pounds of white sugar, melt
by very gentle heat, pour into a keg
or glass vessel, and add water enough to
make gallon. Left to itself, fermenta-
soon begins, consequently the vessel
must not be full, or it will foam over and
waste. After fermentation is over fill
up with more of the same liquor, and
leave it tightly corked up till spring.
About the time the buds begin to start,
all new wine commences working"
consequently just before that, it must
be racked off into clean vessels and
again corked up tightly. Many persons
imagine wines of this kind ferment bet
ter in wood than in glass. Perhaps
this is so. Every vessel of the kind
must be scrupulously clean. Wash
well with water and soda, and then set
on fire a small piece Of cotton rag dipped
in birthstone tied to a twine and let it
burn in the keg or barrel, which must
be rinsed out with clean water again.
This is called 'stumming' by the wine
makers.
Fruit wines are very invigorating to
many, and, when we'll made, are excel
lent. it is supposed that much of the
champagne wine is made of strawber-
ries, the two resemble each other so
much. But very probably most of the
former is made from material much
cheaper than this fruit

Eclipse of the Sun.

The total eclipse of the sun which is to
take place on the 18th of August next,
Is already exciting unusual interest
among the astronomers, in consequence
of the long period of darkness which it
will occasion. A line drawn on the
map from Alden across Hindustan, and
away to the southern coast of New
Guinea, will represent pretty accurately
the line Of total obscurity. 1t so hap
pens that on the day above named the
moon will be almost Mt its nearest to the
earth, and the sun at its furthest from
the earth, consequently, the moon will
hide the sun 80 completely that the du-
ration of the total darkness will be
nearly seven minutes. This Is SO rare n
phenomenon that Ill Interested in cosmi-
cal science are earnestly desirous of get
ting all they can ont Of 1t bv observa-
ton. Foremost among them, the ROYAL
Society have taken such measures that,
If the weather be only favorable at the
time and place Of observation, most sat
isGactory results will be obtained. They
have sent out to India u number of
newly constructed instruments-tele-
scopes, spectroscopes, prisms, actinome-
ters, and Others, by which all the phe-
nomena Of an eclipse may be well
observed and rs the observers will be
some of the most skillful Of the officers
employed on the great trigonometrical
survey OF India, we may hope that the
highly important questions involved in
the phenomenon will be cleared Of their
present uncertasnty. If the southwest
monsoon, which will then be blowing,
will only leave the sky clear at the place
of observation, We shall by Christmas
next know more about the sun and its
Light and atmosphere than hitherto.

Gen. Grant Analyzed.

A. ID. Richardson, in his forthcoming
life of Grant, says:
Some still see in him only the darling
of fortune-energetic mediocrity, which
has blundered into success. l think
such are misled by two of his peculiar
qualities:
II. His unimaginativeness. When
he has nothing to say, he says nothing.
In private he fills no interstices of con-
versation by remarks upon the weather,
or orinquiries after the babies of his visitor.
In public he can make no speeches sim
ply off"rm morcompliment; and since the
world cared to hear his opinion OF affairs,
his official position has never allowed
him to speak freely. But in public or
private, when he has anything to utter
by tongue or pen, he says it with ex-
treme rapidity and clearness, in terse,
marrowy, idiomatic English. Even
then he clothes his thoughts in no flow
ers of rhetoric, but presents them in the
plainest, homeliest words. Napoleon's
memorable sayings are all of this order:

elected but twice. In 1850 he was the
Democratic candidate and was defeated,
although all the other candidates upon
the nan0oratio tiehet roro aIeetaJ t,s,

again In 1852, and was elected by small
majority, the rest of the Democratic
ticket having majority between 5000
and 1000. In 1854 he was candidate
for the third time, and was disastrously
beaten, he being behind his ticket. In
1862 he was elected by nearly II,OOO
maJority-the majority of his associates
Oh the ticket being much greater. In
1854 he was again candidate, but failed
for the fifth time to keep up with his
ticket. At the election next fall tho

The AGRICULTURAL REPoRT.-The
agricultural report for June is out. Tho
report shows altogether an increase of
Is to 20 per cent in the aggregate num-
Der of acres Of wheat. Reports of condi-
ton for June are generally very favora-
bic. The promise of the best crop ever
known is held out by local correspon-
dents in many places, particularly west
of the Mississippi. Some complaint of
falling off is made, but the extent of
this damage, which has been more
severe during the latter part Of this
month, is not determined. Many of
the most serious complaints of winter
killing in Kentucky and Tennessee
have been greatly modified by subse-
quent growth and tilling of roots pre-
sumed to be dead.
