HOMG-KEEPING WOMEN PROTEST.

The Concord (N. H Patriot says: We
have seen a very sensible remonstrance,
signed by Mrs. Daniel Bean and two
hundred and sixty-six other ladies of
Warner, demonstrating against the pros
posed amendment Of the constitution Civ
ing the woman the right of suffrage. The
following tells the story:
"We, the undersigned, women of War"
ner, believing that if the elective frans
chise be exercised by women their NOR
al influence will be diminished and the
best interest Of home and society be en-
dangered, without any additional strength
to the government being secured, and
preferring to continue under those condi-
tions which have the sanction of usage,
of law and religion, do respectfully re-
monstrate against any amendment to the
constitution which shall grant the right
of suffrage to them"
This remonstrance was started by the
ladies, and expresses exactly the senti-
ments of the true>hsarted little "home-
bodies" who have no desire to become
"crowing-hens."

FKIGHrFuL DISASTER.
A Bridge Gives Way and Precipttafes
ta4 Crowd into the River. tsg5et

A Bridge Gives Way and Precipttafei
| 20. u Crowd into the River. tssJe
! On the 9th of July bridge over Fo,
river at Elgin, ILL.,, gave way under the
weight of the crowd Of persons on it
and frightful scene occurred:
The east bank of the river, and the cor
responding end of the bridge, as adj
vantageous points from which to view
the race, were speedily taken possession
Of by very large crowd. The contes-
tants started, and had just passed be.
meath the bridge when the east span, of
some so feet in length, suddenly, and
without moments warning, gave way,
and its human occupants found them
selves precipitated into the river. %
The scene at the moment this mass
was flung into the current, is beyond
the power Of description. To add to
the horror of the occurrence, a horse ats
tached to vehicle was thrown down
among the struggling crowd in the
water. For a little while, it seemed as
if the rescue Of moiety of those in the
river were an impossibility. 1t was a
long time before the list Of casualties
was reduced to proportion that left the
occurrence beret Of the greater portion,
of its horrors. Quite a number Of child
rem were among those who were thrown
IN and, at first, every missing child was
supposed to have been borne away by
the rapid current. ,t.s r,ss''
1t happened most fort unately that the
accident occurred next to the shore, and
that people were standing below the
bridge to witness the race. Those who
Tell in were caught by the swift water
and carried to those who lined the banLs
below. In this way it happened that |
every one was speedily taken from the
water without being long submerged.
Considering the fact that some fifty or
sixty were thrown into the river, among
whom were several infants in the arms of |
heir mothers, it is remarkable, not to
ay providehtial, that the result was no
more serious. But, beyond the killing of |
he horse, and general bruising, the |
'nly really fatal case is that of Mr. Tours
eliot, an old aad respected citizen. whose
'ack is broken, and who, it is thought,
annot possibly survive his injuries. One
hid was taken out for dead, but was
fterwards resuscitated. Another child
ad limb broken. And these comprise
ne more serious results Of the accident.
The bridge which gave way is an iron
ne, erected by Mr.. Truesdall, of Chicago.

ments of a decided character on either
side. The Spaniards have been reinforced
at Nuevitas, and are thus enabled to re-

city to Puerto-Principe, and give succor
to the garrison of the latter city, which is
threatened by The Cubans under Quesada.
In the district of Puerto Del Padre,
there have been several skirmishes. The
health Of the Cuban army is good, and

THE CHINESE IN CALIFORNIA.

The feeling of the majority of the peo-
pie of California towards the Chinese,
who are fockiDg by thousands to our
Pacific shores, is faithfully expressed by
Senator Casserly in a recent speech
made in that State. The Senator said:
Great as was the work of building the
Pacific railroad, it would have been bet
ter to have left it unbuilt than to have
imported the Chinese to build it. He
said imported" because they came here
by importation and not by immigration.
1t was the duty Of every class of men to
unite to prevent the introduction Of the
Chinese. II they come in contact only
with the common laborers to-day, to-
morrow they will be in competition with
the mason, the bricklayer, the carpenter,
and the machinist, for they are the most
frugal, ingenious and industrious people
on the face Of the earth. Look at the
splendid granite building occupied by
Wells, Fargo & Co., the stone Of which
was cut in China, and was built by
Cinnamon. Men who can do such work
for less than half the price paid white
mechanics were an injury to the State,
and he would unite with any party that
would use energetic means to keep them
out Of the country. There was only one
party that could be depended upon for
that purpose, and that was the true old
Democracy.

REVIVAL OF THE EXPORTS OF
BREADsrUFFS.

BREADsTUFFS.
The exports of -four and wheat during
June, it is reported, have been very
heavy, and much larger than during a
similar period for several years. This
activity, it is believed, has been caused
by the increased demand for grain in the
English market, caused by the diminu>
ton in the supplies from Russia. The
farmers in the United States who have
been boarding up their wheat are now
placing it on the market, and the receipts
at the ports of the Western Lakes have
within the last few weeks been very
large. The aggregate receipts Of -four
and grain at Chicago, Milwaukee, Toledo,
Detroit, and Cleveland, from January l
to June II, 1869, have been as follows (:
Flour, 2, 49,, ,205 barrels; wheat, Il, 1897
OBI bushels; corn, 13090,606 bushels;
oats, 4769,906 bushels: barley, 394, ,090
bushels; rye, SOP 3S9 bushels; making a
total of 30,956,022 bushels of grain.
The receipts in the three pre- receding
years during the same were, in 1868.
-four, l, ,5l7, ,497 barrels, grain "a, ,693, ,O95
bushels. in 1867, -four, ,222 ,030 barrels;
grain, 1S,S65,17 bushers;iu 1866, -four
1,423,30S barrels; grain, 27,9l0,5 ,509'
bushels. Another cause for the increased
shipments of -four and grain to England
is the recent abolition of the British law
imposing duties on imports of four half
pence per barrel on -four, and of shil-
ling per quarter, of eight bushels, on
grain. Although these duties appear 20
be trifing, yet they amount to large
sum on heavy cargo, and the removal
of this charge stimulates importation.
According to the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, letters from the Baltic
ports show that the Russian government
has entered the grain markets Of Germa-
nv as purchaser of cereals. And this,
it is said, is not the first time; last year
they were also compelled to buy grain
in the central European markets. The
principal cause Of this unusual course is
the freeing the serfs and the consequent
changing in farming. This class, no
longer forced to grow wheat for export to
enrich their masters, now grow greater
variety of products for their own comfort
and convenience, aud are thus working a
change out unlike that taking place in
the cotton States in this country.

Cider making for Vinegar.

w. H. Ragan, in the last report of the
Indiana Horticultural Society, says that he
assorted his market apples of good varie-
ties, and used the small irregular specimens
for cider. He obtains more for the selected
fruit thus obtained, than for the whole un-
assorted, the poor ones spelling the appear
ance of the whole. He found it important
to keep everything clean; in one case,
barrel of cider was spoiled by spilling some
petroleum on the head, although none en-
tered at the bung hole. Hand mills were
worthless. The best mill that he had found
was greater mill, with ten inch cylinder
in length and diameter, driven full of shoe
makers heel tacks, which were then ground
down to about one-eighth of an inch in
length with file. Attached to shaft,
and driven by one or two horses, it would
grind bushel per minute, so fine that many
of the seeds were cut up. The mill was on
frame, over large vat, holding 60 or so
bushels of apples when ground. The pom
ace lay in this vat u to Sc hours, varying
with the temperature of the weather. If
the seeds are much cut, the time must be
shorter, as they impart bitter taste. The
cider is better than if pressed Immediately
after grinding President Nelson furnished
valuable essay on making cider for vine
gar, and spoke of the detestable stuff sold
generally, composed of oil of vitriol and va
rious drugs. The only good vinegar, of the
best quality, is made from pure cider. 1t
has peculiar, rich, aromatic odor, by which
it is distinguished from the common spuri-
Gus stuff although attempts are made to inn
itate its odor, by adding fusil oil and burnt
sugar. The best vinegar is not injured by
freezing, but the ''acid" vinegar has been
entirely spoiled-rendered putrid-by freez
ing single night Some of this material
is called ''wine vinegar and was claimed
to be made from wine-a pretence obvious
ly false, as no wine was SO low in price as
the best vinegar.

The Crows Value to Farmers.

Whatever wrong the crow commits a
paipst the cultivation of the soil may, by
little painstaking, be materially lessened or
wholly prevented The benefits he confers
are both numerous and important. During
the time he remains with he destroys, so
says no less authority than wilson my
riads of worms, moles, mice, caterpIliars'
grubs and beetles. Audubon also atiirihs
that he devours myriads OF grubs every uay
of the year-grubs that would lay waste the
farmers fields, and destroys quadrupeds IN
Vulnerable, every one of which is an enemy
to his poultry and his focks. DR.. Harris
also one of the most faithful and accurate
observers, In speaking of the fearful raw
ages sometimes wrought in our grass lands
and gardens by the grub of the May beetles,
dered by the crow in keeping these pests in
check. Yet, regardless of such testimony
in their favor, we have nearly exterminated
these birds, and the destructive grubs, hay
ing no longer this active enemy to resist
their growth, are year by year increasing
with fearful persistence. We have seen
large farms in which over entire acres, the
grass was so completely undermined and the
roots eaten away that the loosened turf
could be rolled up as easily as if it had been
cut by the turning spade. In the same
neighborhood whole fields of corn, potatoes,
and almost every kind of garden vegetables,
had been eaten at the root and destroyed.
Our more intelligent farmers who have
more carefully studied the cause of this un
usual insect growth, have satisfied them
selves that it is the legitimate result, the
natural and inevitale consequence, of our
own acts Our short sighted and murder
Gus warfare upon the crow has interrupted
the harmonies of nature, distracted her well
adjusted balance and let loose upon agri-
culture its enemies, with no adequate means
of arresting their general increase.-Atlan-
