PRESERVING GRAPES. i his being just the
season of the year for preparing grapes for
Winter and Spring use, we think the follow
'ng from the San joaquin R'puLiican alou
,s valuable reading as we can give in TIC
same space:
" 1t is said grapes may be kept perfect,
fresh and swoe, for years, by gathering them
when free from moisture, placing them in a
tiglt boxing, puck in alternate l,yers o
.r,pos and fresh leaves and burying them IN
,lry soil, where neither air nor damn ness cm
reach the box. We have never seen thi
plan tested, bat have no doubt of its perlecj
success We once knew a gentleman wh
suppl ed his table with fresh grapes from one
season to another by a still simpler and les,
expensive method. His plan was TO ga'hel
when quite ripe the largest and finest bunrhes
Of grapes and pack them in sdwdusi, using
IN lace of boxes common nail kegs, whil
lie purchased for trillc at hardware stores.
After carefully packing the desired numbel
,l kegs, he buried the lot in a trench dag il
high dry ground beneath a she'd where watel
could neither fall nor soak in. Before usn.
he sawdust he carefully dried it either in tn,
sun or in an oven until it was entirely free
from moisture. We never Witnessed ih
packing process, but we know he alway,
had the grapes, and this is the way he told
Is he preserved them. After being burcG
or months the grapes were as sweet and
inely favored as if just gathered from til,
vines. Either process is cheap and may b
easily tested. Ii they will preserve the grape
'new and profitable business might be bull,
up. Bunches of fresh ripe grapes in the
Spring would be novelty, and being that
would eommlnd a high price We hopc
some of onr grape growers will test one o.
10Th experiments. "

abode only Of savages and wild beasts.
Landed at Salt Lake, they, by long years Ct

RELATIONS WITH SpAIN-CUBA.-The
usually accurate and we'll informed correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, writes astoows
Official advices received BY the government
indicate that we are involved in no lnconsldera-
bic difficulties with Spain. The Cuban volun.
teers there have maltreated Americans and
driven them within recent period out OF Ha-
yana. This government, aware OF this. has re-
peatedly representend this condition Of affairs
to the authorities at Madrid, but without any
other result than promises of early action,
which were never fulfilled Yesterday affairs
became so threatening at Havana that the L.
S. consul general telegraphed that American
citizens and officials needed the immediate pro-
lection Of this government: The matter was
brought to the attention of the cabinet yester-
day and an armed feet of four or five vessels
has been ordered with all possible dispatch to
Havana, to be placed in immediate communl-
elton with the cousul-geueral. The COM
handing officer Of the feet has instructions, as
is learned from an entirely trustworthy
scource, in case the Cuban volunteers destroy
the life and property of American residents to
demand immediate apology and reperatlon,
and if they are refused. to fire the guns OF the
fleet on the city of Havana. The gunboat
Nipsic. now at Pensacola will leave this even
ing, while the Terror, there undergoing re-
pairs, has been ordered into commission to be
dispatched at once to Havana also. The Nan
sas has been ordered from the Brooklyn Navy
Yard to the same destination with all possible
dispatch, while the Severn and Nautasket are
already on their way to Gu ban waters. Admiral
Lee, commanding the south Atlantic squadron,
is now in Washington, but was active to-day.
by orders of the government in dispatching his
vessels 90 as to be ready for any emergency.
Owing to the rigid censorship over the tele.
graph at Havana but little is known here, OF
the consul general to appeal for assistance.
But the condition of affairs with Spain, arising
out of the Hornet difficulty, and the treatment
of Americans in Cuba is sufficiently shown by
the diplomatic correspondence to warrant the
government in the startling mcasurers it has
taken.

MELANCHOLY Casa letter from letters
vile, in Amelia county, to the Richmond Wing
says :-''This community was startled yesterday
by an act of self destruction on the part Of an
elderly and highly respected citizen by the
name Of Daniel Worsham. The deceased had
for the past twenty years been great sufferer
from rheumatism, and during the whole of
this period had made extravaganza Use Of aud-
anum to allay his circulating pains. So ne
cesSary had the opiate become to his peace Of
mind and body, that he was in a most wretch
ed condition whenever his supply had been cx
hausted, and in consequence OF it's exhaustion
and long deferred supply, which he had awaited
with intense suffering for several days, the old
gentleman, in full command of his mental ia
cuties, deliberately walked out into the yard
and cut his throat with razor. Found vel
tering in his blood by one of his friends, he de-
elined all proffered relief, saying Il did it and
| prefer to die.
Mr. Worsham was gentleman of intei-
gence and remarkable piety. The only mem
Der of his family is an adopted daughter. 1t
is sad to think that a life so near its natural
close should have been driven by intense suf.
fering to voluntary death
