GREEN Colon. IN PICKLEs.-It is said
that to impart an excellent green color to
pickles they must first be covered with
boiling hot saltwater, and after short
time the water poured off and the pickles
drained. They are then to be put in an
earthen pot and covered with boiling vine
gar, the top put on, and the whole Kept at
a warm temperature for long time, the
vinegar being poured off every day, heated
to boiling, and then turned again upon the
pickles. This to be continued until the
color is beautiful green. The vinegar
used in this process is then to be poured
off and be replaced by fresh, and the jar
closed tightly. This method of coloring
is perfectly harmless, although the result
is as bright green as verdigris.

with this. which seemed more real than
any. The ladies were persons whose

great thing in favor Of their story was
that there were two Witnesses to it. In

A POOR woman named Louisa Brienan,

obtaining bare subsistence by washing,
was suddenly notified of the death of her
deceased husbands step-father, a. Con-
stantinople, he leaving fortune valued
at s4OO, 900 in gold. The matter was
first made known to her by V. Schwab,
attorney, who had known the woman
for many years, and who knew Of
her relationship to the relative now
deceased There seems to be no
doubt of her ability to establish her
claim to =. least one fourth OF the above
named amount. She is without chick or

SAN DOMINGO.
ESlDEN MESS SAG E
Transmitting the Report Of he San Do
mingo Commissioners to Congress.

To TIE SedRte and House Of RePre
srn.afices | have the honor to submit
herewith to the two houses of Congress
the report of the commissioners appoint
ed in pursuance of the joint resolutions
approved January ~, 1871. 1t will be
observed that this report more than sus-
tains all that l have heretofore said in
regard to the productiveness and health
fitness of the Republic of San Domingo.
of the unanimity of the people for an
nexation to the United States and of
their peaceable character.
1t is due to the public. as it certainly
is to myself, that l should here give all
the circumstances which first led to the
negotiation Of treaty for the anneax
ton Of the republic of San Domingo to
the United States. When accepted
the ardous and responsible position which
l now hold did not dream of institu-
ting any steps for the acquisition of in-
sular possessions. believed, however,
that our institutions were broad enough
to extend over the entire continent as
rapidly a. other peoples might desire to
bring themselves under our protection
l believed further, that We should not
permit any independent government
within the limits of North America to
pass from a condition of independence to
one of ownership or protection under a
European power. Soon after my inau-
guration as President was waited upo II
by an agent of President Baez, with a
proposition to annex the republic of San
Domingo to the United States. This
gentleman represented the capacity OF
the island, the desire of the people, and
their character and habits about as they
have been described by the commission
ers, whose report accompanies this mes
sage lie stated further that. being
weak in numbers and poor in purse, they
were not capable of developing their
great resources; that the people had no
incentive to industry on account of the
lack of protection for their accumulations
and if not accepted by the United States
with institutions which they loved above
those of any other nation. they would be
compelled to seek protection elsewhere
To these statements | made no reply and
gave no indication of what thought OF
the proposition. In the course Of time
was waited upon by second gentleman
from San Domingo, who made the same,
representations and was received in like
manner.
In view of the facts which had been
laid before me, and With an earnest desire
to maintain the Monroe doctrine, l be.
lieved that l would be derel;ct in my
duty if l did not take measures to ascer.
tain the exact wish Of the government
and the inhabitants of the republic Of
San Domingo in regard to annexation
and communicate the information to the
people of the United States. Under the
attending circumstances / felt that if
turned deaf year to this appeal NIGH
in the future be justly charged with fla
grant neglect of the public interests and
an utter disregard Of the welfare Of I
down-trodden race. praying for the bless

The look of sympathy. the gentle word,
Spoken SO low that only angels heard
The secret art Of pure self sacrifice,
Unseen by men, but marked by angels eyes;
These are not lost .
The sacred music of a tender strain,
Wrung from poets heart by grief and pain,
And chanted timidly with doubt and fear
To busy crowds who scarcely pause to hear
1t is Lot lost.
The happy dreams that gladdened al! our
youth,
When dreams had less CT self and more Of
truth
The childiike faith, so tranquil aud so sweet,
Which sat like Mary at the Masters feet;
These are not lost.
The kindly plans devised for others good,
So seldom guessed, so little understood;
The quiet, steadfast love that strove to win
Some wanGerer from: the ways Of sin;
These are not lost.
Not lost, oh ! Lord. for in Thy city bright
Our eyes shall see the past by clearer light
And things long hidden from our gaze below
Thou wilt reye1l. and we shall surely know,
They we've not lost.
