V1NEGAE.-Now is the time to
think of it, make it yourself OF
course, there is no necessity for be.
ing without good cider vinegar at
any time. Currants make very ex.
cellcnt vinegar, so do all the small
fruits.
When your canned fruit fcrments
and is unfit to eat, when some mis-
hap gives it scorch, or when, by
any chance, it is unfit to eat, do not
throw it away, but place it in jar
and let it fermcnt well, then strain
off the juice, sweeten and place in
small glass cans or bottles in the
hot sun, and only a short time is
needed to produce the sharpest of
cider vinegar, which will keep any
length of time.
Save all your skimmings from
jelly and preserves, save all your
apple Feelings and put them in Il
jar, press down nicely, pour water
over them and when we'll soaked
strain off the water, sweeten little
and use rs in first instance, and you
may be sure of nice vinegar, either
from small fruits and jelly skim
mings, or the same from apple
parings.
Currant juice, with only little
sugar, makes clear, sharp and
beautifully colored vinegar.

Legality Of tho Stock Act.

Judge Benson has just rendered 4
very important decision upon the
"stock act" which puts the consti-
tutionality of the law in question:
At the last term Of the Circuit Court
in Scott county, the case of Adams
VS.. Atkinson was presented to the
court, in motion to dismiss the
proceedings. Some of the defend
ants cattle were taken up by plain
tiff, underline act of 1870, (chap. 26,)
prohibiting stock from running at
large. Plaintiffs damages were
assessed, under the act, by the
township trustees, and defendant
appealed to the Circuit Court,
where the motion was made to dis
miss the proceedings on the ground
that the act of the Legislature was
unconstitutional,in that it submitted
the question Of the adoption of the
question to the people Of the sever
al counties. The question was az
gued, and Judge Benson took it I'M
der advisemcnt. He has announced
his decision, declaring the act to be
unconstitutional, and dismissed the
case.
The court in this case no doubt
followed the doctrine laid down by
the Supreme Court in this State in
the case of the State Of Iowa VS..
Wisner, appealed from the District
Court of Cerro Gordo county where
in the court held: "Thc General
Assembly cannot legally submit to
the people whether an act shall be-
come law or not, the people hav-
ing no power in their primary or
individual capacity to make laws.
They must do this by their repre-
sentatives.'

BEAUTIFY THE FARM.-The Maine
Farmer says: You can SO beautify
your premises that travellers will
have to love it as they pass, study
the points that attract, and carry in
their minds ever after, the recollec-
ton that it was Il home of outward
beauty, made so by the presence OF
inward taste and happiness. But
to your own mind will come the
greater good. Life will be bright
er and happier to you. Your chill
dren will grow up to love the home
you have rendered attractive to
them, and it's beauties will ever act
as educating influences for good up
on their minds and hearts. The
dull routine of hard labor will be
relieved by the rational enjoyments
which come from the surroundings,
whenever brought under their 81
lent power, and you will grow up
into 4 purer life and nobler man
hood in consequence.

A California Farm.

MANY accounts have been publish
ed from time to time Of the great
Bidwcll Farm in California. "The
following from recent California
paper, gives its condition and pros
pacts the present season:
The present crop covers an area
of 2 800 acres, 1900 OF which is
sown in wheat, and the residue in
barley, oats and alfalfa. The kinds
of wheat sown are the white beard
ed Chile, towel, native of North
France, Office, club and So
nora Everything is looking in
splendid order, whole fields ofgrain
presents a perfect uniformity in
height, not weed or mixture of
any kind to be seen. The average
yield will at least be 80 bushels to
the acre, while some Of the best of
it will reach so bushels to the acre.
Seven hundred tons of hay have been
harvested and housed this season.
Sixty acres of alfalfa were sown last
year, from - acres of which on the
18th day of April AZ tons of hay
were cut, and from the same piece
OF ground on the 10th day of June,
so tons were taken OF. There arc
20 acres of most luxurious growth
Of timothy. The barley fields look
very promising and will yield an
average Of 50 bushels. There are
two vineyards on the farm, the OH
and new. The old covers about 25
acres, is the growth Of years, and
bears fruit OF the first order. The
new covers an area Of $50 acres, but
lately planted, containing not less
than $4,000 vines, all looking thrifty
and majority Of which will bear
fruit next year They embrace
almost every variety of foreign
grape. The farm orchard embraces
100 acres, and contains every vari-
ETY. of fruit. There are growing
upon the ranch 80 acres OF beans,
the field so clean and nice that not
a weed can be seen through its
length and breadth. There are L.
900 paper shell almond trees and
the intention is to plant 900 more
next season. There are about
eight acres Of nursery under
charge of Mr.. Carmichal, one Of the
most experienced orchardists of the
State. The stock consists of 1000
head Of cattle, among which are
found $50 head Of choice two-year
old heiters, 200 head of horses,
the best of the country; 1900 head
ofhogs, and $500 head of sheep.
There is dairy where 80 cows are
MIXED, with the milk and butter
from which the town is supplied
The machinery in use for cultiva
ton cost over 5000.

An lExci,ing Adventure at sea.

A disagreeable incident seems to have
in some degree interfered with the com
fort Of three hundred passengers on
board the vessel Glenarvney on its yoy-
age to Calcutta. One night when they
were slumbering tween decks in the
straits Of Malacca, they were disturbed
by the gambols of black panther who
had escaped from cage in which twas
confined, and amused itself by making
springs over their PROSTATE bodies.
Their screams having attracted attention,
every available means of exit was thrown
open, and all the passengers reached the
deck in safety. One man alone appeared
to have suffered from the claws of the
animal, large strip of skin and flesh
being torn off his back. As the panther
could not be found, it was concluded
that he must have jumped out of the
port into the sea, and the next evening
the passengers settled down in their
quarters as before. During the night,
however, the panther turned up again.
Some stores being required from forward,
one Of the Chinese lascars was sent
down 10 get them, when he presently re-
turned, exclaiming in trembling accents,
"Tiger gotee down there" The cap
tain, determined to stand no further non-
sense, Immediately sent for his breech-
loading rife and cartridges, and went
down the hatch by himself, and ordered
it to be closed after him, for fear the
beast should again get on deck, and
cause further annoyance and alarm to
the passengers On reaching the deck
of the storcroom and looking around
the large yellow lit eyes of the animal
glared down on him from the top of some
spars slowed along by the ships side.
Taking advantage of the dim light ad-
mitted by the port, the captain took a
steady aim at what he considered the
center Of the animals body, and fred.
Still the yellow eyes glared on, until a
second shot being fred, the panther
measuring seven feet eight inches in
length, rolled dead at the captains feet,
to his great relief, and no doubt to that
of his passengers also. m

D Aucedotc or Brot IHarte.

The San Francisco Post says; Shortly
after Bret Harte arrived in California he
called upon a lady whose acquaintance
he had formed on the steamer, and upon
being asked the usual question, How
are you pleased with California; d" re-
piled: 81 am disgusted; never was so
disappointed in all my life. Why, would
you believe il, have been forced to
drive laundry wagon to keep myself
from starving; and should not have
found your residence had | not called
next door to take away dirty clothes,
and seen your boy in the yard. II is
certainly noble trait in the character
Of Bret Harte that he preferred to stoop
TO any honorable means TO gain his liv-
ing, rather than run in debt or be a tax
on his friends. he was as much gen
tleman then carrying dirty clothes, as
be is now as the boon companion Of the
first geniuses Of the land. He at that
time won host of friends by his uni
iormly kind care Of his sister, his neat
appearance and refined manners.

From the Boston Journal Of Chemistry.l
This important agent has greatly adj
vanced in price during III past year, aud
the prospect is that it will be exorbitant-
ly high for long time. The manufac-
ture of the substance is largely carried
on in the British islands and in France,
but it has never been successfully pro-
dueed in this country Several years ago
manufactory was established at Rock
port, in this State; but the price was SO
low that it could not be made in compe-
tition with the English product. II is
manufactured from the common sea-
weed found in such large quantities upon
our coast, and, we are inclined to think
that profitable industry might be estab
lished in its manufacture since the price
is SO greatly enhanced. Ii is now used
in the fabrication of popular dye, and
this will increase the demand beyond the
capacity Of supply abroad. Iodide Of
potassium, so popular as therapeutic
agent, is now so costly as to be almost
beyond the reach of physicians, and the
Photographic artists suffer from the rise.
Although iodine is manufactured from
ifucus, laminaria and other varieties of
seaweeds, it must be remembered that
the plants get ii from the waters Of the
ocean. That we may show to the reader
how sparsely the element is contained in
sea waten we will state that although
the starch test for iodine is so delicate
that one part dissolved in 100000 parts
of water is easily detected, yet if we
concentrate sea water to the one-hun-
dredth of its original bulk, it affords no
characteristic reaction. 1t is evident
therefore, that proportion of iodine in
sea water must be less than one part in
thirty millions Of water. 1t requires
more than thirty million pounds of sea
water to furnish the marine alge with
one pound of iodine, and yet one house
in Glasgow, Scotland, manufactures forty
tons, or eighty thousand pounds of
iodine from the weeds every year. oH

hopelessly insolvent and hopelessly i'll
governed. Athens itself is "a beleag-
uered city" the number and audacity of
the brigands making it quite unsafe TO
venture into the environs, and the an
nual expenditures Of the government,
for seven years, have greatly exceeded
the receipts. There seems to be hardly
ray of hope for Greece. unless some
