BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.-We take
the following beautiful extract from
the speech delivered by Ex-Governor
Neill s. Brown, on the Confederate
COmmemoration Day:
I believe in the capacity of the
people for seff-gOyernment- Consll-
tutional government is not dead.
Like Lazarus, it has only slumbered.
1t will rise again in all its fuIlness
and all it's glory. In the language
of another, like the last tower of a
ruined palace, it still holds its head
to heaven, while the walls of its
splendor and the bowers of it's de
light lie in deSolatiOn around" It's
germ is still alive and vigorous, and
will reproduce the same venerable
tree of liberty, beneath the broad.
green shadows of Which all thee G

How to Make Spruce Beer.

AS the season is at hand when
pleasant summer drinks, free from
alcoholic influence, are frequently
brewed by the housewife, or the we'll
brought up daughters, who ought to
be taught a little of everything in
the way of household dutieS-we APP
pend the following receipts, which
are claimed to be excellent:
l. Take three gallons of water of
blood W rmth, three half pints of
molasseS, a table spoonful of essence
of spruce, and the like quantity of
ginger mix well together with a gill
of yeast; let stand over night, and
bottle in the morning. 1t will be in
good condition to drink in twenty
four hours. 1t is palatable, whole
some beverage.
.. Those who prefer mead have
only to substitute honey for the
molasscs named above, and for one
third the ginger use all spice. Half
the quantity of yeast will be suffi-
cient, and the bottling should occur
the second day instead of the next
morning. 1t will be fit to drink in
four days after being bottled, and
keep for many weeks A small
quantity of alcohol is formed during
the fermentation, and this prevents
the acetOus fermentation so common
to spruce beer. The essence OF
spruce is of course left out in the
making of mead. The alcohol formed
from the fermentation of honey re
sembles that found in metheglin
while the alcohol formed from the
fermentation of mOlasses is rum
Those who imagine that they car
make either spruce beer or mead
without entirely forming any aleOho
are mistaken but it is present in Sc
light proportion as not to be sensi
BILE to the most delicate temperance
nerves.

FOreStalling Public Opinion.

From the Holly Springs Reporter
As we have again and again said,
we believe that the masses Of the
Conservative voters of Mississippi
are opposed to surrendering their
victorious party and its undying
principles into the hands of the Ma
tional Union Republicans. The Con
servativeS are a majority of ont vot-
ing population, as they have proved
at the ballot box. They are victOri
Gus in ono of the most desperate bat.
ties in the history of political par
ties. The so-caIIed Conservative
Union Republicans are but a bak-
er's dozen of unSatistie office seek
ers. liut they make up in etfirOnt-
cry what they lack in numbers We
were not surprised, therefore, when
we saw some time ago that the neb-
nlous nOthingnesS, styling itself the
Conservative Republican party OF
Mississippi, arrOgated to itself the
Importance of great power, and
dared to claim monopoly of Offices
and authority in our State. We
say this did not surprise us. Be
cause we knew the braZen bOldness
of the men composing that fragmen
tary party; because we knew human
nature; and because we had seer
and read their declarations made tC
the committees of their partisans il
Congress, wherein they set forth the
! policy of overcoming the stubborn
opposition of Mississippians, ant
winning the State back so Black Re
publicanism, by fostering division
and dissension among the Conserva
tive masses. Therefore, we were no
surprised, but we were astonisheC
when we found that respectable Con
servatives, old citizens, standing
high in the confidence of the PEG
pie. were lending them assistance
and asserting, conscientiOusly W,
doubt not. that our political saliva

of good of our State. depended upol
this mingling of oil and water, thi
union of Conservatism and Republi

fellow citizens throughout the State
to be on their guard. Do not ALLOW
so important movement to be mad
to flank the honest sentiment of tn
State, without being vide awak
and armed to repulse it. Contiden

Conservative masses, the real work

the waves still roll and break upon
the beach, but with less and less
