To Preserve Grapes with Honey
Take seven pounds of sound grapes on
the stems, the branches as perfect as pos
sible, and pack them snugly, without
breaking, in stone jar. Make syrup of
four pounds of honey and one pint of
good vinegar, with cloves and cinnamon
to suit (about three ounces of each is the
rule). Boil them well together for twenty
minutes, and skim well; then turn boiling
hot water over the grapes and seal imme-
diately. They will keep for years, if you
wish, and are exceedingly nice. Apples,
peaches and plums may be done in this
way-IOloa Homestead.

A CURIOUS freak of nature is reported
near Cayuga Lake, N. Y. 1t is an oak
and pine tree growing together, so closely
connected as to present the appearance of
one tree, and, in fact, they might be so
called, for they are so nearly grown to-
gether at the root that no division line
can be seen, and the bark has nearly the
appearance of that of the pine.

Some facts are evident: That late
corn, or corn from the South, will not do
for Northern nclimate-theTe is usually too
great growth, too coarse, too much straw
and too late ripening From the North, corn
will be sure to be early enough, the straw
less in amount and better calculated for
feed, so that it is safe to get them. Yet
such a cern may not be the advisable
corn to get. There may not be the
amount of corn or forage wanted, that's,
it may be too small.
A medium-sIzed stalk, with large ears,
small cob, and early maturity, is what is
wanted in our latitude, say about forty
four degrees. Test it and see whether
it will do for the locality, or take
a similar corn that has done well,
and then rely upon cultivation and soil
for success. 1t is this that gives success
to corn; without il the best sorts are of
little avail.
As there is something in selecting good
seed corn, the farmer should see to it and
secure the earliest and hendsomest ears,
such as he wishes 10 raise. 1t is prefer
able to cut up the corn when well glazed
and put in stocks to cure, not to dry, or
but slowly 1t wants to mature or ripen
slowly, and on the stalks, and stalks
green while this operation is performing.
After that it may dry more rapidly; but
il needs the first few weeks TO mature
(not dry) it. Such corn, including the
grains, however contradictory it may ap-
pear, will make better corn seed than if
left to ripen on the stalk.
But never hang your corn flor seed
over the corn in the crib. The stream OF
moisture which ascends, though invisible,
will hurt it-often will spoil it entirely.
Hang in the loft of some buildings where
the out door air has free accession.

A DEATHS HEAD AND CRossBoNEs
ought to be the trade mark Of every dealer

their real mission would ruin them, so
they sail under false colors, and do their
deadly work surreptitiously. Fortunately
their triumphs over credulity are nearly
at an end. Ever since the introduction
of DR.. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs the sale of all the burning fluids
advertised as "tonics has been rapidly
declining. They are still the unwhole-
some solace of individuals who wish to
satisfy morbid appetite for strong drink
without compromising their respecta-
bility but the sick are everywhere dis
carding them, and adopting the VINEGAR
BIrTERs. The success of this wonderful
vegetable remedy astOnishes DR.. Walker
himself He believed, when he gave it
to the world, that it was an uuequaled
tonic, free from the objections urged
agains. the medicated flre-waters and
dilutions of strychnine, quinine and
other powerful alkaloids employed in
modern practice; but he scarcely expect
ed that it would prove specific for
chronic dyspepsia, liver-complaint, in
cipient consumption, confirmed rheuma-
tism, gout, scrofula, nervous affections,
general debility, and all diseases that dis
order, without destroying, the vital ma
chinery. Yet this, unless thousands of
witnesses have conspired to deceive the

The expenditures as here given should not
be considered as showing the cost OF admin
istering the Government. They represent
the disbursements made by the Treasury,
and include amounts which are not expendi-
lures in the true meaning of the word, as
they involve no outlay of money by the
Treasury, and are no burden upon the tax
payers, they being merely entries on both
the debit and credit side of the books-on
the one as receipts and on the other SIS ex-
penditures-(made necessary by the system
of bookkeeping in practice) of moneys re-
ceived from persons and subsequently re-
turned to them or expended in their behalf,
or, in other cases, treated as revenue and
expenditure.
The following items, each of which is ex-
planned, appear in this class of expenditures,
and should be deducted from the S2T,517,- !
962.67, to properly show the expenses OF ad-
ministering the Government.
The interest ON the public debt and pen
sions Qegacies of the late war; are not ordi-
nary expenses of administration, but extra
ordinary, and should therefore be deducted.

1t is here proper to add that in this state
ment OF the expenses as modified by the de-
ductions made, there arc still included mil
lions in amount, especially on account of the
War and Navy Departments, which are di-
rectly chargeable to the late rebellion, but
which it is impracticable to ascertain without
considerable delay.

The foregoing statement, so clear, full
and concise, cannot fail to satisfy and
convince all candid and honest men that
the charges so boldly made by General
FaTnsworth are wholly false and untrue,
and that he must have been aware of it,
but that he uttered and made them from
vindictiveness and for dishonest and base
purposes. This charge, like all others
made by him in that speech, when inves-
tigated and sifted, is found to be wholly
untrue, and known to be so by its author
at the time he made it. This charge, as
with all others made by wicked, unscrupu-
lous and vindictive men against the hon
esty, integrity and economy of the Repub-
lican party and that of General Grant,
when Investigated is found to be wholly
untrue; but on the contrary thereof, upon
such examination and investigation being
had, economy, honesty, and faithful dis
charge of the duties and higher trust re-
posed and con6ded to and imposed on it,
has always been performed with fidelity,
impartiality and equal justice to all.

that he could make the charge with less
