very refreshing, while it is quite easily
prepared either as a beer or in powders.
To make ginger beer, take of Race
ginger root, well pounded, four ounces
of cream of tartar, three ounces mix
them together, and add eight lemons
sliced very fine, and five pounds of eli
thcr white or brown sugar. Pour over
them five gallons of boiling water. and
let it stand until milkwarm, then add
one tea-cupful of yeast poured on to Il
slice or crust of bread. and let it fer
ment II hours, covering the whole
liquid with cloth, if it is in bucket ::
but if in keg, let it stand II hours
and Hrment through the bung-hole.
Then bung it up tightly, and in two
days it will he ready for Use. If al
lowed to ferment in il bucket, bottle it
in II hours, filling the bottles only two
thirds full and fastening in the corks
with strong Irvine or wire. In two days
it will he fit to drink and foam like
cream ale, while the flavor is truly de
liciOus. 1t is an excellent plan to make
a key full of it, and keep it on tap, but
very tightly closed. 1t should he placed
in an ice-horlsc or the coolest of cellars,
because it is apt to become too pungent
and sour. If this occurs. more sugar
can he added to each tumbler of the
beer.
Ginger beer powders may he made by
taking four ounces of powdered white
sugar, one drachm of pulverizcd ginger,
and five drachmS of carbonate of soda.
Divide it into II equal parts and put
each part int" il colored paper. Take
one ounce of tartaric acid and divide
into II parts, putting each part into a
white paper. Dissolve one each of the
powders into IL third of IL tumblrr of
iced water, stir until the powder is well
dissolved. then pom one upon the other
and drink while etfervescing.
For raspberry effervescing bever-
age. take six quarts of raspberry juice
and filter through blotting paper add
to it six pounds of sugar and II ounces
of tartaric acid. Bottle and cork it
When desired. add two table
spoonflIls of it to two-thirdS of tum-
bier of iced water. and stir it into one
Scruple of carbonate of soda. This
makes IL most delicious draught for Il
hot summers day and it can he made
of either currantS or Strawberries as
well as of raSpbcrricS.

A refreshing drink is often craved by
those who are obliged to work ont in

there is little use i'll reSorting to intoNi-
eating liquors for this purpose, for they
intlame instead of cool the system, and
increase instead of Decreasing the de

water is also undesirable because it is
apt to chill the system too suddenly and
produce summer complaints. and the
stomach also graves some aromatic
stimulant which will increase its vigor
In many farm-houseS il barrel of hop
beer mingled with aromatic herbs and
roots Is frequently made. during the
summer season. and the laborerS are
allowed To drink plentifully of it. Such
beer contains very little alcohol. and is
refreshing and bencticial 1t can be
made by every housewife, by boiling

Tld Hrckory,s Wife,

A correspondent OF the Chicago
Inter. Ocean, writing OF visit 10 the
old home Of Andrew Jackson, says
:" II was o law Of Tennessee, In early
days, that . man could be divorced
from his wife only by two successive
acts Of Legislature, and Il took two
sessions Of the body to accomplish the
feat. Application for divorce was
made personally before the Legislature,
and 1t was decided by vote whether
the cause should be heard or not at the
next session. II the decision was
favorable, the case was investigated by
o committee, who reported at the next
session fayorably or otherwise, &c.
cording to the evidence, and the decree
OF divorce was granted or refused as the
case might be. Mrs. Jackson's first
husband was a miserable scamp named
Robards. She left him and induced
him TO apply to the Legislature for q
divorce, He did SO, and she, supposing
the decree granted, after o year or more
married Andrew Jackson. After while
1t was discovered that Robards had not
taken the case to the Legislature for
It's second hearing, and o decree had
not been granted; although Jackson
had been living with Mrs. Robards as
his wife. But divorce was finally oh.
tanned, and Mr.. and Mrs. jackson re.
married according 10 law. This limo.
cent transgression OF tho laws Of society
and the State was the skeleton in the
cleset at the Hermitage. This led to
the death OF Dickinson, and was the
cause Of nearly all of the seventeen
duels in which jackson was engaged.
He would allow no man to reproach his
wife for unchastity; and she, 1t seems,
was quite as sensitive. In his campaign
for the Presidency this scandal was re.
viYed, aud there is no doubt II short.
ened her life. The aspersions upon
her character crushed her; that she,
who had been o chaste, faithful wife for
thirty.seven years, the guide, the
leader, and the ornament OF . religious
circle, should be dragged into the pub.
lie prints and held up to the contempt
Of o nation as an adulteress was more
than she could endure. She tied OF
