FARM AND GARDEN.
VINEGAR AND PICKLES.

To tue Editors of the Union and American:
Will some one give US the best method
of making the best vinegar for pickles;
also the manner of putting them up2
The best apple vinegar can be made in
a short time by putting cider in an old
vinegar barrel, filling it about half full,
and leaving out the bung. The sbsorp-
ton of oxygen from the atmosphere IN
der such circumstances is very rapid.
Cucumbers or fruit intended for pickles
must be gathered early in the morning
while cool, and packed away in barrels,
layer of salt of an inch thickness at the
bottom, then layer of cucumbers, and
so on, until the barrel Is full. They
should then be kept in a cool place until
wanted for use, when they may be
scalded in brass kettle with diluted vine
gar, Of a green color is desired) and put
up with vinegar in alright bottles. This
is the usual course pursued by our bes
housewives. Seasonings of various
kinds, such as spices, peppers, etc, may
be put in when they are put in air-tigh'
hotties

A COMPARISON THAT Is NOT

The eccentricities of negro minstrelsy
are enjoyed alike by young and oil d; but
q pun cracked at the expense of Presl-
dent Grant recently, in New York, by
Dan Bryant's lend man, received such q
hearty appreciation from those who heard
It that we give it to our readers:
The man who manipulates the bones,
and who can be called the clown of the
company, was relating, in his own way,
the triumphant march of the army
of the Emperor William into the
CITY of Berlin. Bringing with them
the trophies of victory, and the evidence
of their valor being well known by the
deeds accomplished in many hard fought
battles, the people seemed at loss to

of their regard for the brave King who

OPIUM CULTURE IN TENNESSEE.

During the last two or three years
new branch of agriculture has opened up
among the almost unbounded sources of
wealth and occupation to the people of
Tennessee. As year after year goes by
new avenues of industry are presented,
and our energetic and high-minded peO-
pie are not slow in selling upon and de-
Veloping them into channels of prosperity
and State and individual resource. The
culture of opium has already been sue
cessfully accomplished here in Middle
Tennessee, and the subject is eliciting
considerable attention from scientific men
as well as the general public, who are so
much interested in the development of
our inherent resources. This being the
case, we deem the occasion pertinent and
opportune to refer in somewhat general as
well as detailed terms to the nature, liq9u-
ties and history of this universally known
narcotic.
Opium is the concrete juice from the
capsules of the poppy, PapaUer 8Onani-
fer7Gna) and is as old as Diodorus, and
one of the first narcotics of which we
have any account. 1t is prepared from
the juice of the capsules of the poppy,
q herbaceous plant which grows in almost
all countries, though heretofore it has
been cultivated in this chiefly on &C
count of its ornamental appearance,
and for garden and yard pur-
poses. Recently, -Owever, an impetus
has been given to its culture on account
of the high price of opium and the diff
Guilty of obtaining il unauthorized. OF
| al the drugs mentioned in the pharma-
cOpia there is scarcely any one so useful
and so difficult to provide substitute for
as the product of the poppy. There are
two varieties of the plant, the white and
the black, and they both afford opium,
| but the article of commerce is chiefly de-
rived from the white. The process of
extracting opium is q singular one. In
cissions are made in theunripe capsules as
soon as the flower falls, care being taken
not to penetrate the internal cavity of the
shell. A white substance Immediately
exudes and forms in tears, SO to speak,
on the edges of the cuts. After twenty
four hours this is scraped off in brownish
Jumps. 1t is then in a glutinous State
and after being moistened it is pounded
into the proper consistency, folded il
leaves and for the market. The princi
pal product of opium is in the Indies ant
in Turkey. Its cultivation was com
menced as an adventure by the Eas
] India Company in 1778. Its expor

THE GRAVE OF GEN. POLK.
From the Richmond Dispatch.

l noticed in your paper few days
since an allusion to the grave of Gen.
Leonidas Polk, in which it was stated
that the body wss soon to be removed to
Louisiana, from its present place of in
terment in Augusta, Georgia, where it
had remained unmarked since it was
first buried. 1t affords me qualification
TO state that the place of burial OF the
great Bishop General is marked by a
neat marble slab, appropriately inscribed,
and that fresh flowers have been, every
morning, winter and summer, placed
upon the tomb by lovely woman Of

CUCUMBER BUGS AGAIN

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
july 10, 187l.-Will our friend that
gives e remedy for getting rid of the GU
cumber bug please describe it to us9 One
gentleman says rise early and scratch
around the hills to find them. This l
have done, but find no bug in the ground.
l see small striped bug ON the vine and
on the ground about the root, though l
think it is something at the root that
causes the vine to wither and die.
SUBSCRIBER,
The striped bug Subscriber" sees is
the one that does the damage. The best
remedy we have ever tried, to get rid of
the little pest is to apply SCOT to the vines
every morning when the dew is on. Coal
oil will kill the vines and bugs too.

Something more than year ego the
Board Of Tnlde g. Clarksville conceived the
idea of holding fair, in which should be
represented eli the various grades o. toosc-
co grown in any part Of the United States
Premiums to the amount of $4,000 were
offered, and while the competition was
lively, the number of hogsheads entered
was by no means great. Enough, how
ever. was done to warrant the Board of
Trade in repeating the experiment, and the
result has Saown their sagaciiy.
At 10 O'Clock on the 18th, the GAINESVILLE
Oornet Band struck up a spirited air, which
was signal f,r the hundreds ofpersons to
begin to gsther at the Skating Rink, which
is large building situated in a convenient
part of the city, where the samples were
spread for inspection by the lodges. Half
hour after tie Judges and committees were
called in aud the exhibition began.

Action of the Committee on Roat

Action of the Committee on Roads.
After the adjournment Of the House OF
Delegates yesterday occurred some extra
ordinary action, on which we feel obliged
to comment.
The gentlemen who signed the proposal
conveyed to the General Assembly through
Mr.. GUY, were notified last evening of the
desire of the Committee on Roads that they
should attend its special session at the En-
change Hotel at s O'Clock. We ask atten.
ton to the account given by our reporter OF
the reception and treatment accorded these
gentlemen. ........ ..
Without fear, and above reproach, they
met for consultation with the Committee
on Roads. Honest in intent, frank in pur-
pose, without motive for concealment, they
answered what purported to be a summons
for conference between persons mutually
interested in arriving at a proper solution
of the problem how the States railroad
stocks might be most proftably disposed
of. But they were met in spirit very
different from that in which they
approached the committee, and were the
subjects of an attempted indignity, which
was alike unauthorized and unjustifable.
We regret that such an exhibition of par
tisan spirit should have been shown; it
will stand as strangely-exceptional re-
proach upon the record of Virginia legisla-
ton, and the protest which is made by the
persons aggrieved is more forcible, if pos
sible, in justice than in language.

WHICH is the unreasonable party in the
present railroad war? General MALONE
asked charter to build railroad between
Richmond and Petersburg. He got it. He
is not satisfied: he wants to take into his
hands the present road. The owners OF
that road are ready to make the most ibe-
raj terms with him. They will build him
road and rent it to him on the terms SET
tied by arbitration or they will give him
the most fair and equitable use Of their
road that is possible with its gauge, which
is different from that of the Generals con-
solidated line. What more can he ask?
With the accommodations thus offered
him he would, as far as his own business is
concerned. have as much facility as though
the road belonged to him. If he wants
anything more, then it is plain that there
must be some motive behind all this that
may we'll excite distrust and stimulate the
Richmond and Petersburg Company to the
most earnest opposition.
1t IS plain who is most unreasonable and
most exacting, should the Legislature graf
lily an ambition such as that shown in the
endeavor to seize the Richmond end Peters
burg railroad. For the chief reason of1erct!
| that foreign capital is hostile to US, and
that Gen. MALONE must protect us from it,
Virginia will suffer most seriously. It will
deter capital from coming to the State, and
sadly affect our reputation abroad.
| Yet does not General MALONE resort tt
loans Of northern capital to meet his obi
cations, and thus bring himself under the
influence Of this dreaded agent? Nay,
should he buy the State stock in the Rich.
mond and Petersburg railroad, will he not
| be compelled to borrow the money from
the North to pay for it9 There's the rub
1t is well known he has not the means to
pay for it. Who eoill furnish themf What
say Messrs. ROBINSON and MoCREAD1
on this point? What say the people o
Richmond and Petersburg! Aye, what
say the legislators, who are asked to make
an unjust use Of their power, and inflict |
gross wrong upon one corporation by forci
bly, placing another one over it?'
Foreign capital, indeed! They all wan
as much as they can get of it. Under al
the affected horror of it is strong desir'
and cunning plotting to clutch the "spon
dulles" come whence they may.

From LOudOun County

CORRESPONDENCE of the Richmond Dispatch.1
LouDoUN, March 3, 1871.
Winter has passed, and 'the time.of the
singing of the birds has come," and our
farmers, despite the discouragements of the
past season, are putting their hands to the
plow once more, hoping for better luck
next time" And truly, hope must "spring
immortal" in their breasts to keep them
up under the pressure of bad crops, low
prices, and ever-increasing taxes.
The passage of The Pennsylvania railroad
bill gives, on its face, promise of the build.
ing of the Potomac and Piedmont railroad.
which would be Of incalculable advantage
to this section. It's performance remains to
be proved.
The census statistics give 6,644 persons
in Loudoun between the ages OF and q ;
number of schools, 81 {; white teachers, 81 ;
co,ored, 9; number of pupils on the rolls,
2,02S.
Leesburg has large colored free school,
with colored teacher. Middeburg another,
taught bya white man from the North, who
has the respect and confidence of the com.
munity.
The Loudoun marble quarry is fairly
started, and buildings are being erected for
the large force which will be required to
work it.
Notwithstanding the hard winter, the
wheat looks well. i.
