TIE PoLiTICs OF CITIEs.-The increasing
tendency of our population to cOngregate
in cities which has received new illustra-
ton in the recent State census OF New
York, besets the politics of the country
with danger which grows constantly more
alarming. During the first half century of
the Republic our population was chiefly
agricultural, with great approach to
equality in property, intelligence and
morals. The scum and dregs which form
so large part of all city populations were
almost unknown. But at present the
dangerous classes in cities often hold the
balance of power, and it has become a SER
ious question whether we can preserve our
institutions without interposing checks on
the power Of demagogues over the criminal
population. The art of politics in great
city like New York, for example, has de-
generated into the creation or maintenance
Of organizations for enabling crafty lead
ers to consolidate large masses of the lowest
class Of voters in a compact phalanX, to be
moved at the beck of one dictator or a few
obligators or u few oligarchs. The Tammany
organization is a case in point. 1t was
easily controlled by Tweed; it is controlled
with equal ease by Mr.. Kelly; both main
tain their ascendancy by the same disrepu-
table means of favoring the wishes OF the
worst part Of the population.-N. 7. Herahf.

There are probably few men in the South
to day who are not convinced that the
abolition of slavery was a blessing to the
shareholders. Mr.. George w. Adair of
Atlanta puts the whole question in a nut
she'll in this statement: " Before the war
kept four negroes on my lot Wash, q
man-of-ali-work, valued at $500; Sarah
a No. | cook, l,400; Harriet, a house
girl, 81, POO; and Nancy, nurse, 5000. The
legal interest & per cent? on the value OF
these slaves was $3.50 per annum, and l
had to feed, clothe, pay doctors bills, etc.
Now have the same service performed at
$500 per annum. feed these hired
servants, but furnish no clothing, nor pay
doctors bills, and get the same service per
month for less money than when | owned
slaves, and if they die lose nothing. Now.
when | acquire my capital, | can put it in
other property, instead OF locking it up in
slaves. This, think, illustrates the whole
question. The land owner can avail himself
Of negro labor to-day at less cost than when
he had to pay for the slave and take care OF
him. This labor cannot be controlled 50
absolutely as slave labor, and more or less
irregularities grow out Of it; still it is avail
able and susceptible Of being used to great
profit by the land owner. Planters who
owned slaves, who now remain upon their
land, and give personal attention to the
crops, can make more clear money from
the soil then under the old system. The
South is becoming every year more familiar
with free labor, and understands better how
to manage it. She is becoming more self
reliant and selt-sustaining."

How TO HAVE G0oD CIDER.-Prof. Hors-
ford. of Harvard University, has published
a receipt for improving and preserving
cider. by means of which the progress OF
the vinous acetic lamentations may be
arrested at pleasure, and 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
to 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 terment again until 1t
possesses nearly the brisk pleasant taste
which it is desirable should be permanent.
Pour out quart of the cider and INK with
it one-quarter of an once OF sulphlte OF
lime for every gallon the cask contains:
Stir it until it is intimately mixed, ana
pour the emulsion into the liquid. Agltate
the contents of the casl thoroughly Tor
few moments, then let 1t 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 it NAV be allowed to remain in the cask
and used on draught. If bottled, it will
become a sparkling cider of surprising eX-
cellence."
Professor Horsford was the first to use
sulphite of lime for this purpose, and to
him is due the credit of first calling atten-
ton to its usefulness. 1t is in no respect
deleterious, as the sulphate, into which the
sulphite is changed by the liberation of
sui phurous acid, is entirely insoluble, and
remains at the bottom of the vessel. Re
member, it is the sulphte of lime not sui
phate, must be used -Germanto,cls Telegraph.
