have heard but one nd-justice; one de.
sire-reconcliation. They wish to be hearth
y reunited and at peace with the North, on
any terms which do not involve surrender
of their manhood. They ask that they shall
be regarded and treated by the Federal author
tiles as citizens, not culprits. so long as they
obey and uphold every law consistent with
equity and right. They desire rule which,
alike for white and black, shall encourage in
dustry and thrift, and discourage rapacity and
villany. They cherish joyful hope, in which
| fully concur, that between the 9Th of No
vember and the 4th of March next quite a
number of the Governors and other dignita-
ries who, in the abused names of Republican
ism and loyalty, have for years been piling
debts and taxes upon their war-wasted States,
will follow the wholesome example of Bullock,
of Georgia, and seek the shades of private life.
The darker and deuser those shades the bet
ter for themselves and for mankind, And
the hope that my election may hasten this
much desired hegira of the thieving carpet
baggers has reconcied to the necessity of sup

Fellow-citizens, the deposed and partially
exiled Tammany Ring has stolen about thirty
millions of dollars from the city of New York.
That was most gigantic robbery, and hurl-
ed its coItrivers and abettors from power and
splendor to impotency and infamy; but the
theving carpet baggers have stolen at least
thrice this amount-stolen it from the already
impoverished and needy, and they still aaunt
their prosperous villany in the high places Of
the land, and are addressed as honorable and
excellency. think I. hear voice from the
honest people of all the States declaring that
this iniquity shall be gainful and insolent no
longer, at farthest, than to the 4th of March
next. By that time these criminals will have
heard national verdict pronounced that will
cause them to ''fold their tents, like Arabs,
and silently steal away;" and that, trust,
will be the end of their stealing at the cost of
the good name of our country and the we'll
being of her people. ..--.-...--.ys.a sr.-

Domestic Wine Making from Grapes

| send you, for the information of be-
ginners, few simple directions for max
ing wine from the grape:
After the bunches are gathered, pick
off all the rotten (but not the .green) ber-
.ries, wash the bunches in clean water, to
get rid of dust and insects, and throw
them in a tub, or box, with hole in the
bottom for the water to drip off and escape
Mash them in an oaken tub, with an oak
crusher, or pestle, taking care to break as
few seed as possible. But few srapes
can be mashed at time, on account of
the juice. Have sn empty cask. or oaken
barrel, WEI soaked for several days, place
a sTreiiie near the bottom to draw off the
grape juice place the cask or barrel in a
cool place. upon platform, and as the
grapes are mashed put into the barrel,
within six or eight inches of top; cover
to keep out insects allow it to ferment
twenty-four hours the longer it is allow
ed to ferneDt on the skins the more color
ing matter will be extracted. and of course
the redder the wine will be. NEARLY a
white wine can be made of dark grapes by
pressing as soon as mashed.) Draw off
all the clear juice by the spile, which, if
kept separate, will make more delicious
favored wine; press out the juice, and
add the best quality of sugar until an egg
will float and show above the juice the
size of dime; put in jugs, kegs or bar
rels, filling full, SO that impurities can
work out; reserve some of the juice to Eli
up with. For the first two or three DAYS
fermentation will be very rapid, and the
vessel must be filed up three or four times,
then for few days twice, then once until
fermentation subsidies to a simmer, at
which time make hole through the stop
per. or bung, put in peg loosely to allow
the gas to escape. When the fermenta-
ton is over bung tight Watch the bar
rel and stop leaks. A slight fermentation
will take place the next spring; when the
weather becomes cool in the fall it will
generally be safe to bottle.
The wine maker must keep all vessels
perfectly cleau-pine or cypress barrels
or tu bs will impart the favor of the wood
to the wine. Use oak.
Persons making large quantities of wine
may make it in more scientific manner,
but may not make better wine.
Hoping the above may be of benefit to
some one, | am, very respectfully. yours,
Ell. w. L. LEWIS.
REMARKs-To the above excellent ar
ticle from the largest and one of the best
practical wine makers in this section, we
will add that although it is desirable, it is
not indispensable that the grapes should
be perfectly ripe in order to make good
wine.-RuraI South Land

The circumstances which chiefly. tend to
promote longevity may be reduced to the fol.
lowing heads:
l.. Climate. A large majority Of this record
of great age were inhabitants of Great Britain,
Ireland, France, Germany and North Of Eu-
rope from which 1t appears that moderate or
even cold climates are the most favorable to
long life. Heat relaxes and enfeebles, while
cold consolidates and strengthens the human
frame. The diet also Of hot countries is less
nourishing than that of cold ones, and there
is greater disposition and greater opportu.
mites to indulge in excuses III the former than
in the latter.
2. Parentage. Being born of healthy pa.
rents and exempt from hereditary disease, are
circumstances favorable to the duration of
life, and numerous instances warrant the o.
pinjon that longevity prevails in some fami.
lies more than In others, or that descent from
long lived ancestors is one of the circumstances
which give the greatest probability of attain-
ing to extreme old age
8. Form and size. 1t is generally admitted
that persons of compact shape, and Of q
moderate stature, are most likely to live long.
Tall persons frequently acquire a habit of
stopping which contracts the chest, and is d
great impeachment to free respiration; while
the short sized find little difficulty in keeping
themselves erect, and are naturally much
more active, and the animal functions are re.
tanned In a state of greater perfection: One
disadvantage attending short stature is, that
it is frequently accompanied with corpulence,
which is rather unfavorable to long life.

Work.

Employment makes people happy. 1t
is the duty of everyone to be Industrious
and to make good use of his time, aud
we can always find something to do if we
are only willing to do it. We should all
study to find what station in life we are
best fitted to fill.
Employment makes US happy, for if we
are employed. we forget our troubles in
in thinking of our work. We should not
be as happy, if we were idle all our lives,
as we should be if we tried to help our
selves and others.
Many people imagine that if they were
only rich and not obliged to work they
should be happy; but think we were Gre
ated to employ our time in some useful
way.
1t is well, too, that we are not all fitted
for the same work for if we were, we
should need a great many things which
we could not make, and should receive but
but little pay for our work; but as it is,
We have a plenty of everything.

"A difference in $652, 900 in cost, or more than
twice as much as the IA miles to Eastern

A wOMAN's ANSWER.

/ will not let you Say a woman's part
Must be to give exclusive love alone;
Dearest, although l love you so, my heart
Answers thousand claims besides your own.
Ilove-what do I love2 Earth and air
And space within my heart, and myriad
You would not deign to heed are cherished
And vibrate on its very inmost strings
love the Summer with her ebb and flow
Oflight, and warmth and music, that have
nursed
Her tender buds to blossom. ......and you know
1t was in Summer that saw you first.
love the Winter dearly, ......but then
l owe it so much on Winters day,
Bleak, cold and stormy you returned again,
When you had been those weary months
away.
love the stars like friends so many nights
gazed at them when you were far from me,
Till grew blind with tearsa-those far-offlights
Could watch you, whom l longed in vain to
love the flowers; happy hours lie
Shut up within their petals close and fast;
You have forgotten, dear, but they and I
Keepeyery fragment of the golden past.
/ love, too, TO be loved; all loving praise
Seems Ikea crown upon my Hfe,-to make
Ithetter worth the giving and to raise
Still nearer to your own the heart yon take
love all good and noble souls Il heard
Gne speak of you but lately, few days,
Only to think of it, my soul was stirred
In tender memory Of such generous praise
love all those who love you : all who owe
Comfort to you and l can find regret
Even for those poorer hearts who once could
know
And once could love you, and can now forget
Well, is my heart so narrow,-I, who spare
Love for all these? Do | not even hold
My favorite books in special tender care,
And prize them as a miser does his gold?
The poets that you used to read to me
While Summer twilights faded in the sky;
But most of all l thank Aurora Leigh,
Because-because-do you remember why ?
Wll.you be jealous? Did you guess before
1loved SO many things? Still you the best;-
Dearest, remember that l love you more,
more a thousand times than all the rest

Washington City and Point Lookout

!
We find the following letter from Gen.
Duncan S. Walker on peninsula railroad
matters in late issue of the Washington
Capital. It will be seen that it is a reply
to letter of Fl. G.. Funt published in our
last issue. The letter is supplemented by
the following explanation from the editor
of the Capital:
"The following copmunication from Mr.
Duncan S. Walker of the proposed Washing
ton and Point Lookout Railroad only confirms
US in the opinion already stated. While Mr..
FAINT may have over-estimated some of the
expenditures attending the work of getting
the Baltimore and Potomac Railway into
Washington, he underestimate others. No
two millions cleared the way for the road
through our park to the avenue, and we are
forced to admit that the project having the
backing the Southern Maryland has, proves
to US it is the one that will speedily be in run
ming ORDER"
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
August 2, 1872.
TO the Editors Of the Capital:
My attention has been called to commu-
ncation in your issue of July %, 1872, sign
ed H. G. FAINT, which contains statements in
relation to the Washington City and Point
Lookout Railroad Company.
Mr.. FAINT is not al officer of that company,
and yet he assumes to tell the public our plans
and to estimate the cost of our road. We
beg to be excused from accepting his brilliant
estimates, having several competent engineers
employed.
Let US examine his estimates: ~...

This is about as brilliant as Fants state-
ment in the same article that it is twenty-five
miles from Eastern Branch to Brandywne
Junction, whereas by our survey it is only
fourteen miles-au error of eleven miles in
twentyfvel
Mr. FAINT further states that sit will require
more time and money to build the road from
Eastern Branch of the Potomac to Brandy
wine (say twenty-five nniles) than it will to
build from that point to Point lockout, dis
tance of ffty-fve to sixty miles" Here is

Crows and Men.

Henry Ward Beecher speaks of the crow
as follows:
Aside from the special question of pro-
fit and loss, we have warm side toward
the crow he is so much like one of our
selves.
He is lazy, and that is human; he is
cunning, and that is human He takes
advantage Of those weaker than himself,
and that is manlike. He is shy, and hides
for tomorrow what he can't eat toe day,
showing real human providence. He
learns tricks much faster than he learns
useful things, showing true boy-nature
He thinks his own color the best, and
loves to hear his own voice, which are
evident traits of humanity. He will never
work when he can get another to work for
him-a genuine human trait. He eats
whatever he can get his claws upon. and
is less mischievous with belly full than
when hungry, and that is like man. He
is at war with all living things except his
own kind, aud with them when he has
nothing else to do. No wonder men des-
pise crows. They are too much like men.
Take off his wings, and put him in
breeches, and the crow would make fair
average man. Give men wings and re-
duce their smartness little, and many of
them would be almost good enough to be
crows.
