Augusta saeed.

Augusta SReed-
Another beautiful flower has dropped
from the wreath of the mothers heart atfec-
ton, and little AUGUSTA SNEED IS gone nom
this earth forever. One more melody, so soft,
tender aud pure is added to the angel strain
of heavens music, for she, the loved child OF
earth, is there. But how deep is that gloom
which nestled on the mothers heart, to
which this gentle child had clung. sorrow
ing friends, with grief-gloomed souls looked q
last farewell upon the pale brow, and turned
sadly from the new-made grave as
it closed forever over the lost one.
But in the souls own palace of affection love
has engraven her image, and memory watch
es ceaseless there. The whispers OF "dear
mother" no longer heard on earth, are now
breathed to angels and spirits from that
strangely beautiful land of the redeemed,
who, in their visits here will softly murmpr
those tender accents. Sorrow no longer, "dear
mother" but look upward to heaven. Au-
gusta is there. an angel of innocence and of
beauty in the universe Of God.
" TTis true she was being bright,
OF beauty rich and rare,
With rosy cheeks and eyes OF blue,
And curling light brown hair"
But had she lived few short years,
In all her beauty bright,
Her ewes would oft been dimmed with tears,
Her heart been touched with blight.
But she has gone to dreamless sleep,
Mid tears and heart-wrung stghs;
Oh do not for that angel weep,
Her home is in the skies H.sT. +.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The.TheateF.

Miss Mordaunt, an excellent actress,
who has drawn very good houses the past
week, notwithstanding the weather, the cir
GUS and the mtnstrels, took her leave of us
last night in Ddr ling, piece We would advise
her TO prune of its almost insulting misrepre-
SentatiOnS Of the south and southern people,
or else to drop IL from her repertoire. There
may be men among us like "COlopel Delancey
Coon" but they are not representatives of the
average Confederate officer, and "Rev. Daniel
Qualities is as far from representing the aver
age southern minister of the gospel-as they
proved themselves patriots during the late
war, as citizens and soldiers-as the average
sinner Is from heaven. Indeed, the play is
notable for its Misrepresentation of the south,
and could only have been penned by one who
had read of the south in the old abolition
days, when hate, malice and all uncharita-
bleness guided the pens of editors who knew
as much of one section as they did of Green
lands icy mountains. We have no squeam-
ishness, and do not fear a fair hit at our weak
nesSes, foibles or idt1osy ncracfes, but no Dart
ing for us, at least none OF this Darling, not
even when presented by the clever. versaEl le
and talented Miss Mordaunt, q Lady who in
everything else pleased our people, and has
left an impression very favorable for her
second visit. We again suggest to Miss Nor
daunt either to prune Darling OF Its very OBJ
jectionable features, or else pus In one or two
Characters to Offset those that now place the
south In very unenyiable light.

How to Have Good Cider.

Professor Horsf0rd, of Harvard Uniyer-
sity, has published recipe for improving
and preserving cider, BY means of which
the progress Of the vinous and acetic fer
mentations may be arrested at pleasure,
ard the cider preserved in just such a state
as may be desired. 1t is this:
Put the new cider into clean casks or
barrels, and allow it to ferment from one
10 three weeks according as the weather is
cool or warm When it has attained to
lively fermentation, add TO each gallon
three-fourths Of a pound Of white sugar,
and let the whole fcrment again until
it possesses nearly the brisk, pleasant taste
which it is desirable should be permanent
Pour out a quart Of the cider, and mix
with it one quarter Of an ounce CT sulphIte
of lime for every gallon the cask contains.
Stir it until it is intimately mixed, and
pour the emulsion into the liquid. Agitate
the contents of the cask thoroughly for a
few moments, then let it rest that the cider
may settle Fermentation will be arrested
at once, and will not be resumed. 1t may
be bottled in the course OF few weeks, or
1t may be allowed to remain in the cask
and used on draught. If bottled, it will
become a sparkling cider Of surprising cx-
cellence."
Professor Horsford was the first to use
the sulphite of line for this purpose, and
to him is due the credit of first calling at
tention to its usefulness. 1t Is in no re-
spect deleterious, as the sulphite into
which the sulphite is changed By the
liberation of sulphurous acid is entirely
| insuluble, and remains at the bottom of the
vessel. Remember, it is the sulphite OF
lime, not sulphate, must be used. The
| quality of the cider viii remain unchanged
/ for years.

CHICAGO, Oct. %. Death from starva-
ton for the actual want of food is a calamity
that stares in the face 1000 men, women
and children, within IS hours travel of

growing region Of the country. Gen. Ord
commanding the Department of the Platte,
and who is personally cognizant of the
facts, addressed the Board OF Trade to-day,
telling in plain direct terms the sad story
of the destitution In Western Nebraska,
caused by the ravages Of the grasshoppers.
From the reports Of his officers on the
ground and among these people, he has
trustworthy information as to the actual
condition Of affairs lie states that several
cases Of actual death have already taken
place Fathers have been compelled to
abandon their families and seek work and
food. In one house the corpse of a child
was found that had perished for want OF
food and near it the mother, PROSTATE and
diving from the same cause. He states that

ployed nine or ten hundred couriers and
coach-drivers and station keepers and more
than one hundred Concord coaches. Every
day in the year one of these stages started
from the east end and one from the west
end Of the route, and often as many as fifty
were making the trip at the same time.
The coach stations were ten miles apart,
and there were more than two hundred OF
them in all. The route led from Atchison,
Mo, across the plains for five days to Den
yer, Col; then five days more up the Rocky
Mountains to Salt Lake City. Utah then
seven days more down the mountains to
Sacramento city. Cal. At one station the
stage-coach reached level Of 5000 feet
above the plains, and in the summer months
it was the custom of the drivers to stop
there ten minutes. not for refreshments,
but to allow the passengers the novel plea
sure of snow-balling each other in july.
In these dreary mountains few persons
were then to be met, other than members
of the family of Mr.. Grizzly Bear, who, if
he happens to be hungry, is a very unpleas
ant fellow to travel with. On the plains
the enemy most dreaded was the red-skin-
ned tribes. whose rowing bands almost daily
attacked the coaches. To repel such at
tacIls each passenger was required to carry
a rife as part of his baggage. A ''crack
driver" was one who could drive four
horses at full speed with the reins in his
teeth and a rifle in his hands Every sta
ton was fort, with soldiers to defend it.
Often the coaches had to be guarded from
station to station by the soldiers, who fol-
| lowed on horseback, and at times the sold
iers, and passengers were forced to tortlty
| themselves in the coach and fight unit!
help came by the approach of other coaches.
Seventeen days Of trip like this would
furnish almost enough adventure for life
/ time
But it was the swift mail-couriers of this
line who ran risks and led adventurous
! lives full of daring and danger. They ran
the gauntlet of the Indians all aloue-at
night as well as by day-and a rough time
many of them had Of it. Their stations
were twenty-five miles apart, and the trips
/ between them had to be made at fall gel-
lop, and in two hours and half, winter or
summer, day or night, over plain or noun
/ taius The horses were hardy Indian
ponies. swift and sure Of foot but the ser
vice killed them very rapidly. The rider.
were old pioneers, who knew the ways Of
the Indians and how to avoid them. Still
many of them fell victims to their daring
and their sense of duty. The long trip o.
2,G90 miles occupied the mail-cariers eight
days. at the rate of more than ten miles al
hour but important election news was car.
ried at still more rapid rate. But al
length the harncssed lightning and the irog
horse distanced the pony on his track, anC
