To Make Currant Wine.

The currants should be fully ripe
when picked put them into large
tub, IN which they should remain day
or two; then crush with the hands, I'M
less you have a small patent wine press,
In which they should not be pressed
too much, or the stems viii be bruised
and impart disagreeable taste to the
juice. IF the hands are used, put the
crushed fruit, after the juice has been
poured off, in cloth or sack and press
out the remaining juice. Put the juice
back into the tub after cleansing it,
where it should remain about three
days, until the first stage of fermenta-
ton IS over, and removing once or twice
a day the scum copiously arising to the
top. Then put the juice in q vessel, a
demlJohn, key or barrel, any size to suit
the quantity made, and to each quart
OF juice add three pounds of the best
yellow sugar, and soft water sufficient
to make d gallon. Thus, ten quarts of
juice and thirty pounds Of sugar will
give you ten gallons of wine, and so
on In that proportion. Those who donot
like sweet wine can reduce the guam
tlty of sugar to q or those who wish
1t very sweet, raise it to 81 pounds per
gallon. The vessel must be full and
the bung or stopper left off until fer
mentation ceases, which viii be in
twelve or fifteen days. Meanwhile, the
cask must be filed up daily with cur
rent JUICE left over, as fermentation
throws out the impure matter. When
fermentation ceases, rack the wine care
fully, either from the spigot or by a
syphon, and keep running all the time.
Cleanse the cask thoroughly with boil
ing water, then return the wine, bung
up tightly, and let stand four or five
months, when it VIII be fit to drink,
and can be bottled if desired. All the
vessels, casks, etc., should be perfectly
sweet, and the whole operation should
be done with an eye to cleanliness. In
such event, every drop of brandy or
other spurious liquors added will de-
tract from the flavor of the wine. and
will not in the least degree increase its
keeping qualities. Current wine made
in this way viii keep for an age. We
have some made in 1855, which is re-
ally an excellent article. -Gern1a7atOaO,s

Death of GTad Lincoln. -

Thomas Lincoln DIETER known by
the pet name of clad" which his
father gave him when a child, the
youngest son of ex-President Abraham
Lincoln, died i'll Chicago, Saturday,
after several weeks illness. He was
over eighteen years of age, and his
death has caused sincere sadness in
many hearts. About two and half
years ago, his mother took him to Eu-
rope, where, in Frankfort-on-the-M Main,
he was placed in school. He applied
himself assiduoHsly to his studies, had
become quite a scholar, and succeed
ed in enticely overcoming the .impe-
diment in his speech About two
months ago he returned with his mother
to this city, where they have been re-
siding ever since. About two weeks
after their return he was taken i'll with
a severe cold, which gradually assumed
a pleuritic and dropsical form, from
which he has suffered greatly, and
which finally caused his death.
The calamity has overwhelmed Mrs.
Lincoln and her sole surviving son,
Robert, with sorrow. Misfortune has
made heavy work with the Lincoln
family ever since that fatal night in
April. 1865.

Influence Of Age over Youth.

The Rochester Express publishes
the following:
in 1856 the daughter of Presby-
terrain clergyman in the centre of this
State, who had been reared in a strict
and rigid manner, proceeded to New
Haven, Conn, to spend month with
friends during the college commence
ment season. While there taking adj
vantage of the new freedom from re-
straint afforded her, she carried on ex-
tensive firtations with the students,
and vas ruined by member of the
senior class. He persuaded her to
leave her friends and return with him
to New York instead of going home.
Singular to relate, she appeared almost
from choice to enter upon city dissi-
pations and excuses, until, becoming
thoroughly hardened and depraved, a
sister came to visit her and persuade
her to go back to her fathers home.
Instead of doing SO, however, the
visiting sister was persuaded to remain
and enter upon the same terrible life
which her sister was leading Since
then the two abandoned women have
allured their two younger sisters away
from the parental roof, and the four are
now keeping what is known as
:" fashionable bagnio" in New York.
A more melancholy instance of power
OF older upon younger members of
family never came to notice. Parents
unquestionably sometimes commit
mistake in bringing up their children
under too rigorous regulations, es-
peclally II they be strong positive ma
lures.

The Russian ARMY,

The Russian Army, according to re-
cent statistics published at ST. Peters
burg, consists of 80, DAB officers and
732, 829, when on peace footing, and
80, 0S3 officers and 1,173, S79 men on a
war footing. These forces are divided
into $50 battalions of infantry and 281
squadrons of cavalry. The artillery
force has l, 400 guns. The average pro-
portion of officers to men is 81
to every 1000 soldiers. Of every
1000 men in the army, 797 belong
to the infantry, 101 to the artillery,
" to the cavalry, and % to the pioneers.
Great difficulty is experienced in obtain
ing officers for the Russian army, and
the number leaving every year is great
er than that entering. In the lower
grades, however, the men enter the
army in greater numbers than they
leave it, and during the last eleven
years there has been an excess of 242, 316
recruits over the number required to fill
vacancies. The standard of education
in the Russian army, it is stated, is
slowly improving, 81 per cent. in 1867
not being able either to read or to
write, while in 1869 this per centage
fell to 46

The following is worth reading, as a
specimen of Hindoo English It is in
teresting, too, because it hits the true
secret of describing earthquakes, which
is to tell how they feel rather than how
they look. A native wrote it for the
East India News.
Just at a. N. this morning, before
I got out of my bed, suddenly it was
felt that my breast and my whole body

A Horrible Case.

DR.. Bunce, of Glastonbury, Conn,
has IN charge horrible case in the per-
son of woman who seems destined, if
not cured, to illustrate in her own per-
son the shocking fate of King Herod.
The woman who is of scrofulous hab-
it and constitution, has been under
treatment for one ailment or another
for period Of twelve OF fourteen years.
Recently an abscess appeared on the side
of one leg below the knee, and from it
issued large live worm. On Wednes-
day, from another painful abscess on her
neck, just above the clavicle, another
large and disgusting looking worm with
four feet come forth. There is much
pain and some swelling in the patients
right side, and the Doctor is of the
opinion that what has already been de-
veloped of these living inhabitants of
living body is but the beginning of
what is to follow.

The Graye-Diggers' Strike.

The London Medical Press and cir
cular OF recent date says: In the
midst of the troubles and difficulties
which accumulated Oh the shoulders of
the over worked and bewildered munic-
ipality of Buenos Ayres, during the
height OF the plague, the serenos and
vigilantes Cor policemen struck for
higher wages, and the panic having ex-
tended to the grave-diggers, for many
days no one could be found to put the
dead under the ground, and the coffins
were, therefore, piled up in stack
at the Southern Cemetery, as the
hearses and carts brought them in.
The scenes at the cemetery were some
thing frightful to behold, and remind
ed one only of the horrible stories re-
corded of the plague of London. A
large trench was dug, into which the
dead bodies, some coffined, but many
merely swathed in bed-clothes, were
shot out of the carts and quickly COW
cred with lime-the trench remaining
open until it was filled, when another
was dug, and the dreadful work recon-
menced. 1t is computed that over 90
900 persons found their last resting
places in these pits.

An 0ld-Time Horse,

The following notes regarding the fa-
nous racehorse Eclipse, are published
by the Turf, field and Farm:
The celebrated English racehorse
Eclipse, foaled, April 1, 1894, was one of
the most remarkable animals that ever
struck the turf with his feet. Mr..
O'Kelly purchased him for So, 75G, and
it is estimated that the horse won for
his owner more than $125,0O0 in gold
cups, vases and guinea purses. He
lived to the age of twenty six years,
when he died of collie and inflammation,
Mr.. Plumer, a son of Sir Thomas Plum
er, the former owner of the es-
tate of Canons writes The horse
Eclipse was buried in the Park, not
far from what is called the saloon front
of the house, aud there was stone
which marked the spot but in the ex-
tensive alteration which my father made,
the stone, | think, got removed al
though the spot where it was, was well
known to me now, and I shall be pleas
ed to offer my services as chaperon to
point it out.
The skull of Eclipse was preserved
in the range of stables, and I we'll
remember its Wondering, dusty, moth
eaten remains, which [ am ashamed to
say were suffered to decay and grad
ually vanish from sight and memory.
The hoof, however, was set in silver
and preserved by my eldest brother,
whose son now has it. The estate of
Canons was won by Eclipse for the
equally famous Colonel Kelly, ofwhom
my father bought the place for ECO, 900.
Eclipse was sired by Marske, and
his dam was Spiletta, by Regulus.
He died at Canons, where he was
buried with almost regal honors. The
Challenge Whip was made from his
tail, and each treasured among his
collection a hoof of the horse mounted
in silver"
