MASzASrrA BRASpY.-The Nevadi

MASzANIrA BRASDY.-The Nevada
Transcript has the following:
I. J. Rolfe and Josiah Rogers have
started the manufacture o brandy from
manzanita berries. We visited Mr..
Rogers wine house yesterday and wit
messed the process Of manufacture.
The berries are first termented In a vat
with water and then the liquor Is dis
titled. 1t has moro body than grape
brandy, and Is much smoother to tho
taste than grape brandy Of the same
strength. Messrs. Rolfe and Rogers
are highly pleased with their expert
ments, and they propose to make, this
year, about 200 gallons Of manzanita
brandy. The berries are very abundant
and can be gathered mt one cent per
pound. Another advantage Is that they
can be kept in sacks like grain until
required for use, while grapes must be
pressed when taken from the vine.
The entire cost Of cultivation Is also
saved, as manZanita grows in such
quantities that n hundred d~istilleries
could be supplied without making
much offs drain upon the crop. II the
liquor improves with age, as does
grape brandy, it will be a great favor
tie, as In its new state 1t Is much more
agreeable to the taste.
In connection with the above, the
Grass Valley Republican Of the 25th
inst. says:
The Digger Indians in the vicinity
Of Nevada are complaining that the
white people are robblng them of their
usual crop Of manzanits berries. The
Diggers have not taken any scalps yet,
but the squaws are said to have painted
up, and threaten mischief to the intru-
ders who are plucking their indigenous
hereditary fruit. a ,u

JUVENILE WIT.-An old physician
was descanting the other day upon the
propensity which a majority Of people
display for eating unripe fruit and
vegetables. "There Is not q vegetable
growing in gardens that is not best
when arrived at maturity" said he,
"and most Of them ore injurious unless
ripe.n II know one Of them that amt
80 good when it Is ripe,'' said the boy,
in q confidential, but modest manner.
"What's that?" said the physician
sharply, vexed at having his princi-
pies disputed by a mere boy. "a Gu
cumber, responded the lad. The doctor
winked both eyes, but said nothing.

GIANT POWDER ExPLosloN.-T Tho
Grass Valley Union Of the 18th says:
Friday morning last there was a ter
rifle explosion Of giant powder in Bos.
ton Rayine, which made folks Nere
think an earthquake had como gain.
Mrs. Van Ness had fixed up Mr we'll
In front Of her house, and locked the
we'll up SO that everybodycould not
draw water therefrom. Some one put
a cartridge OF the giant powder inside
the building, on the ground, and the
cartridge was exploded. There was

bottom out Of the we'll, but only = few
boards were torn from the well-house.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Again In the annual course Of things
are we officially recommended by the
President of the United States and the
Governor of Nevada to join in a day
Of thanksgiving to the Father Of the
Universe for his ever continuous, never
ending merciss and fayors, and to-
morrow Is the day designated for this
pious purpose. Aside, however. from
this formal appointment, 1t seems but
right to us all that we should for at
least one day in the year "pause in
LIES pleasures" and seriously con-
slider the blessings and sorrows BY
which we are surrounded, and feel
duly thankful. The great American
people have few holidays enough at
the best, and Thanksgiving Day, it Is
gratifying to see, has yearly come into
greater favor, as one Of the most salts
factory of them all. 1t Is not a day Of
fasting and prayer by any means, but
Of feasting and prayer, as well as Of
true social pleasures and domestic re-
union. In the old homes parents and
children met around the family table,
and in thousands Of cases this Is the
only time IN the whole year when
gathering In from their worldly pur-
suits and employments, from perhaps
distant localities, brothers and sisters
thus assemble In the old p~aternal
home.
Even here In the land Of s~agcbrush
and silver, although comparatively
few family thus gather together,
friends meet with friends in the en-
ioymcnt of the traditional turkey, and
the day is happily considered q vel
come social holiday. The most de-
yous will attend the religious services
At the churches, and all the more
heartily and thankfully will they
afssrward enjoy their roast turkey
dinner. Why the turkey should have
become so arbitrarily the representa-
tive fowl at the Thanksgiving dinner
we never were Informed, but cheer

roasted and served up, with tho plum

Thankful, by all means let US be
Thankful tomorrow, If we never were
before or will be again. Terrible con-
fagrations have devastated the cities,
towns and prairies Of u fair country
during the past year, and hundreds Of
families have been driven forth home
less and ruined from their farms and
comfortable dwellings by the ruthless
destroyer. Drouth has put Its paralyz-
ing curse upon the efforts Of the farm
ers in California, and hero at home the
streams have failed whereon stand our
mills, so that tho gllttering, bountiful
treasures Of our rich mines have been
unavailable, and even the sage-orush

ings, to result in increased benefits and
future blessings. Let us be thankful
that we still live, and have yet plenty
to be thankful for. Deep snow covers
the ground, and there is a good pros
pect of a heavy winter before us-per-
haps a severe one-but 1t will be OF
vast benefit to the country and to us
all. Let US be thankful.

A HORNED HoRsE.-The Placerville
Republican of the 23d instant has the
following:
A veritable horned horse, hitched In
front of our office OH Monday, attracted
great attention. There was no other
popularity about the animal, but there
was no mistaking the horns; they
grew out from tho lower side Of the
ear, and were about two inches long,
resembling very much the horns Of u
young goat.

Mrs. Stanton Tells How to Defeat
General Grant.

To the Editor Of the Golden Age:
Sir-It has been evident for some
time that the leading political parties,
having done their work, must soon
give place to new organizations with
progressive principles and live issues
on which 10 rouse the enthusiasm of
the people. The Democratic party
virtually died with slavery. and the
specific work Of the Republican party
ended with the adoption Of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments.
And now SO alarmed have the peo-
pie become with the bare-faced and
stupendous frauds and corruptions in
high places that the test of the Presi-
Dental campaign Of 1872 will be hon.
esty against corruption. 1t is gener-
ally supposed that the result Of the
October and November elections will re-
nominate Gen. Grant in 1872, although
q majority Of the people are opposed to
his reelection.
No man can be nominated who can
unite the opposition. To carry the
North he must have a good war rec
ord, and have been sound on slavery
question before the new departure"
and such a man could not carry the
border or Southern States.
Now, If the opponents Of General
Grant really wish to defeat him, and
are willing TO show their hands, they
can do it without sacrificing their par
ties or principles. In our present
mode Of electing President, he does
not represent q majority Of the people
of the country, nor often even a ma
jority Of the voters Of his own party.
There are many voters, and not n
few politicians, who are ignorant Of
the constitutional provisions for elect
ing a president and they would be
very much surprised to wake up some
morning and find the old adage "you
can't tell tiH after election" changed
to "you can't tell after election" The
electoral college may prove a rock on
which the ship Of State will some day
be foundered. The members of the
electoral college have by the Constitu-
ton other powers than simply 10 regis
ter the viii of their respective parties.
It has become with such mere form
that instead of choosing our most dis
tinguished men as electors we elect
some of the most Insignificant and un-
principled, and If you can buy legis-
Iature why not in close election, two
or three PresidentIa! electors?
But to the plan. 1t is 10 run a
fusion electoral ticket with platform ;
candidate in every state opposed to
Gen. Grant and corruption.
This 10 the only way the opponents of

The Bellefonte Republican has beer

two years like a 6dgety old grany, and
scolding at the democrats for interfer.

ing classes. We should like to ask
grany Brown question We put to
him two years ago and:which he promis'
ed to answer "next week." but which
he has neglected to answer up 10 this
time-whether the radicals did moi
have complete power. for the last ten
years, to pass any kind Of tariff they
pleased, and that If there 10 any injus-
tice done the laboring classes on
account of the tariff, whether the
blame does not lie with his own.party
How on earth are the democrats to
blamel We can conceive the posi-
bility Of Brown swallowing sixteen
apple-dumplings, but how on earth
be thinks he can make his readers
swallow such silly stuff as he puts out
about the tariff, we confess we can
not comprehend.
The present tariff Is q burden upon
the middle classes, and . direct rob-
berry Of the poor TO enrich a few mo-
nopolists, and the change that the
BelIefonte Republican advocates is 10
increase these burdens of the poor and
squeese out Of them what little is left
them under the present tariff act ; and
although these radicals have had un-
limited power for the last ten years,
not section has been Incorporated by
them into our tariff laws, but what is
a direct robbery of the laboring and
consuming classes for the benefit Of a
few hungry monoPolists. whose mil
lions have been unjnstly Wrung from
the farmer and mechanic and labor
ing man, by a tariff that brings no rev.
euue to the public treasury but only
fills the Golfers Of the monopolists.

HUSBANDS LIABILITY.-The prev,
alent opinion that husband is legally
liable for all bills, Of whatever nature
that his wife may contract, was moi
sustained by Judge Thayer, in Phila
delphia, on Wednesday last. In O
case in court the Judge decided in fav'
or of a husband who had been sued
by dry goods firm for n debt con
tracted by his wife. Defense set up
that defendant furnished his wife with
an ample supply Of necessaries. In
the course Of his charge Judge Thay-
er said: at is false and foolish no.
ton for tradespeople to entertain that
husband is bound to pay all bills
contracted by his wife. No such
monstrnus doctrine Is allowed in the
law. Tradesmen must ascertain the
facts and the true relation Of man
and wife before allowing the latter to
run up bills which he is 10 be looked
10 pay" Commenting upon this ex.
position Of this law, which ought TO be
more familiar than it is, the Phila.
delphia Record thinks that when
tradespeople come to distinctly under.
stand it "a very sensible step will
have been accomplished towards re-
form in the wanton extravaganza and
ruinous folly which. under the mere.
tricious impulse Of the stupid desPot
called fashion" So wastes the sub
stance, mars the manners, deforms the
persons, degrades the morals and
wrecks the happiness of myriad house
holds, and and individuals. not only
in this community, but throughout
the country"

How II is to be Put Through.

The Washington organ Of Grant
says that il will require not less thar
ten thousand regular troops, judicious
ly distributed through the Southern
States, TO insure free and fair cleo
ton in those States in 1872 ; and that
it may be necessary for Congress tC
increase the army.
This is but one ofnumerous indications
that Grant intends 10 force his re-elec'
ton by placing the South under bay
onet rule should he receive the Re
publican nomination. Such method
Of insuring a free and fair election
certainly deserves the credit Of origin
ality. 1t is only equalled by the in
genuity of the Ethiopian present-taker
who relates his experience in one OF
the negro minstrel halls. "PomPey,
whar you get dat watch p a man
Cub il TO me-" "Gub il to you for
nuffing "Yes-but | had to knock
him down free or fou times before
he'd do it," IfGrant runs for presi-
dent in 1872 he is determined to have
a free and fair election. even if ID
should be necessary to bayonet every
man in the Southern States who OPP
poses him. What would be deemed
a free and fair election by man who
has used United States troops aud
Gatling guns to control the action of
a Republican Convention at New Or
leans may easily be imagined.
