A letter from Catalina to the Augs-
burger ALIgmemeine Zeitung of Au-
gust 1st says: "Since the beginning of
May the largest and highest volcano
in Europe-the Aetna-appears to be
in period of activity which announ-
ces an approaching eruption. 1t will
soon be five years since a torrent of
lava covered the Valid de Bove. From
September, 1869 to the present day
the mountain has been quiet. Prof.
SilvestTi, who has studied with atten-
tion the series Of phenomena pro-
duced, recently passed two days and
nights on the summit of the cone, and
concluded from what he saw that a
new eruption may be expected at no
very dislant date"

Grant and his Journals.

If President GRANT entertains
thoughts of reelection, the opposition
to the scheme so generally expressed
by the journals of his party ought to
induce him to abandon the project.
A large number of them, perhaps the
greater number, would yield to party
pressure and beneath the lash of the
party whip advocate his reelection, if
once the nominee of the Republican
party, but until he has received the
nomination or given evidence that he
will receive it he must work against
the influence of his party organs. We
have from time to time noticed para
graphs in the columns Of the Evening
Express of this city condemnatory of
the Administration, but an editorial
in Wednesdays issue takes decided
ground against the third term propo-
sition and sustains the statement
made in the HERALD of last week that
the reports of Ku-Klux outrages in the
South, with which we are being re-
galed just now, are manufactured in
the North for political effect. The
Express states the case in the fol-
clear and forcible manner.
II the reasoning of 1870 was correct, and
Grant was elected because ii was believed he
would be the centre of strong Government
which would soon put an end 10 the radical ou.
RACES in the South, the reasoning OF 1874 would
be- in the light of facts, that he failed to realize
The promise, and is therefore not the proper
man TO administer the affairs of the nation for
another, and an extraordinary term under
our Presidential usage, If there is stronger
argument against renewing Grants lease oi
power than the still unsettled and lawless
condition OF the South, we do not know it..

A Few Household Hints

Never allow door to creak for want oil
oil, or to shut hard so as to require slam.
ming to make it latch. For this purpose
pass around once week at some regular
time, say Saturday evening or Monday
morning, with a drop of oil on a feather,
or on the tip of the finger, and give every
rubbing part, latch. hinge, &c., touch.
The door and walls will last longer than
when necessarily pounded and battered ,
and the disagreeable noise will not make
sick persons worse or annoy well ones.
Scissors sometimes work hard, when a
tenth of grain Of oil, touched along the
cutting edges to make them move easily
over each other, will improve them greatly.
Ventilation would be more easily accom-
plished and more certainly performed, and
rooms kept with purer and healthier air, if
windows were made to slide easily. If
not hung by pulleys and weights, add
good and freely-working catches. Never
permit broken pane in a house.
Cellars should be kept constantly
clean-as much so as your parlor. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world, if you at
tend to it daily; and only becomes
heavy task when you allow months ac-
cumulations--on the same principle that
the boy who combed his head once sum-
mer was amazed that any one could do it
daily. ..,..7......-t s..-s
Once week go over all your house and
out.houses, and see what wants attention
to keep all in perfect order. You will
find something every time, and attend to it
promptly. 1e sasa..as7h

Tough SAUsAGES.-Owners of sewing
and other small machines in this city, have
recently been in the habit OF taking them
to prominent shoe mandatory on Water
street, where for a small compensate n
they are run by steam power. A certain
butcher in town lately conceived the idea
Of running his sausage machine by steam
also, and applied for permission to the firm !,
which was granted. All day long the
"clickity click" of the machines might be
heard turning out large quantities Of fine
sausage meat.
One day last week customer marched
into the butchers shop with small package
in his hand and queer look in his eve.
His.voice trembled with suppressed emotion,
as he slowly unrolled the package and
showed the astonished butcher about six
inches of sole leather which he declared
had been taken from the two pounds of
sausage that he held in his hand. All day
long old customers came in, and before
night a pile of sole leather too nicely pull.
verified to be utilized for any other purpose
than sausage making stood in one corner
of the room. The next day the sausage
machine was brought back to the shop,
and we understand that the butcher is
now anxious to sell out and then discover
and leather the shoemaker who leathered
his sausage. -Bimghdnlto Times.

Baking Apples.

Apples, such as we usually find them,
are lar from beng perfect. They lack
usually in many qualities, such as flavor,
sweetness, readiness of cooking, fineness
Of texture, and may say appearance. A
dull, dirty green will compare unfavorably
with the bright, yellow-and-red in an APP
pie, when set baked on the table. Now,
when one or more of these and other DUAL.
tiles are lacking, substitute may be sup
piled, as sugar where there is lack of
sweetness, the spices where aroma is
wanting, and so on. Sometimes much is
to be done to fruit to bring it up to the
proper point when it is largely deficient.
But if not deficient, any addition will
hurt, unless superior in virtue to the quail
ity added to. Hence to those who are in
love with the peculiar flavor of the Rox-
bury Russet, any addition OF interference
here would be repealed. Still more so with
the Spitzenburgh, absolutely at the head OF
fruit, that is. apples, and perfect speci-
men. Now, to attempt to add to this fruit
is like attempting to gid refined gold
worse. it is hurting the fruit. Yet in some
stages this may be done, as in the early
stage, at ripening, and for weeks after, at
which time an addition of sugar improves
it, because the sugar then is deficient.
II is only when the fruit has become
mellow that the Spitzenburgh needs no adj.
dition, no doctosiDg--reeds nothing. II
may then be baked, put into pie, stewed,
fried, eaten out of hand, or cider made OF
it, and in all nothing farther is wished-it
meets the full requirements mot indeed for

every taste /; this can be done with no sim
gle fruit or dish whatever. But to cult
waited taste, tustomed to the niceties which
embrace science, this fruit meets all the re-
quirements of an apple. Hence to use it.,
when in its perfect state, is simply to use it,
care only being taken to apply properly the
heat when cooked; and this is of Some
Importance. Bake your apple slow, yet
with all the heat it will bear short of
6reaking the skin /; this TO keep in the
moisture, for, the skin broken, evapora-
ton. especially outside escape, rapidly
takes place, forming a coat or scale, dry
and non-conductor of heat, so that that
part of the apple exposed does not bake
unless a heat is applied hot enough to
scorch the rest of the fruit. Bake them
several hours with uniform heat until the
fruit is thoroughly soft and done. Then
remove, open and take out the core. Ap.
ply sugar if not sweet enough-white sugar
graduated best-mix and work with a
small spoon to fine pulp then close and
let cool. The MASKING with spoon is but
aiding the heat, doing what it left unfin-
ished-reducing the pulp to fine Jelly.
Here you have the Spitzenburgh with all
its qualities intact, softened and mellowed
down by the heat, and thus improved as
table dish. Butter or cream would spoil
it, however nice the product might be.
Spice would interfere with the flavor of
the fruit. Try the dish, and be careful in
its preparation.
