PORT WINE We commend the following
little paragraph cut from our excellent COT
temporary. the Gardeners Magazine, to the
consideration Of our readers. 1t should, no
doubt, cause them to regard our lowly cider
with an Interest, it's claims to which they would
hitherto have been slow TO accord. Jerrold 5
joke about the old port aud elder port will be
unpleasantly recalled to ''cruSty drinkers by
the following paragraph on the manufacture
of Portuguese wine, from note Dy our Se,rc-
tary OF Legation at Lisbon: ''All port wine
hitherto exported for English market is largely
mixed with braudy, and is composed as much
of elderberries as of grapes. The way iu which
what in England is called port wine has hl,her-
to been manufactured for the London market
is this: The Paz de Vanhatcrio abouuds in
elder trees; the berries of these trees are dried
in the sun or in kilus The wine is then thrown
on them, and the berries are trodden las pre-
viousy the grapes) till it is thoroughly satura-
ted with the coloring matter of the berries.
Brandy is than added iu the proportion oftrom
three to sixteen gallons to every pipe OF lis
gailous. This is the composition OF all the port
wine hitherto drank 10 E;glaud. No pure
wine. no wine not shus specially adulteratcd for
the English taste, was allowed By the govern
ment committee OF iasters to pass the bar of
Douro before the year of 1865. The writer of
the above note ls, We may mention, the pres
ent Lord Lytton. sou OF the great novelist, but
better known to the public as Owen Mere
dlth."

How They Manufacture Shot.


A reporter Of the Baltimore american
thus describes one of the many processes
Of making shot in one Of the shot-towers
of that city One of the ''secrets" of the
manufacture is the mixing of the lead with
certain proportion Of a combination Of
mineral substances called "temper." The
temper is fused with the lead, and gives
the molten metal that consistency which
makes it drop, and without which the lead
would be moulded by the sieve, and would
form little pencils instead of round shot.
When Abb" shot, for instance, are TO be
made, the lead is poured into pan perfo-
rated with holes corresponding to that size.
The little pellets come pouring down in
continuous shower, and fall into tank
filled with water on the ground floor. In
their decent of two hundred feet they be-
come perfect spheres, firm and dense, aud
they are tolerably cool when they strike
the water, although the swift conclusions
make the tank foam and bubble as if the
water was boiling furiously. The shot
must fall in the water, for if they would
strike any firm substance they would be
fiattened and knocked out of shape. To
get the little pellets perfectly dry after
they have been in the "well," is the most
difficult and troublesome process of the
whole manufacture. An elevator with
small buckets (very much like those used
in -four mills) carry the shot up as fast US
they reach the bottom of the well, and de.
posits them in box go feet above the
first floor The water drips from the
buckets as they so up, and not much is
poured into the receiver above, although il
is intended to be sort of dripping ma.
chine. From this receiver the shot runs
down spout into drying pan, which
greatly resembles gigantic shoe, made Of
sheet iron. The pan rests ut an angle
which permits the wet shot to roll slowly
down to the chamber below, and the pei.
lets become perfectly dry as they pass ov Ell
tho warm sheet-iron.

Pretty but Sickly Girls.

The pale, bloodless faces of our Ameri-
can girls Immediately attract the attention
of an English visitor to this country, the
contrast to the red, rudy countenancc of
their own country women being so marked
An English lady, upon visiting one of the
Boston public schools, remarked, 81 never
saw before so many pretty girls together" !"
and then added, "bus they all look sick. /"
The American young lady Of the present
time even manifests an aversion for ruddy
glowing cheeks, for pale and blood
less faces give one such an intellectual ap-
pearance, you know. Mrs. Stowe tells us
that the race of the hardy, cheerful girls
of the olden times are fast passing away.
There is so much truth in her observations
that we present, for the benefit of our fair
readers, the following extract 1.-THE race
of strong, hardy, cheerful girls that used
to grow up in country places, and made
the bright, neat New England kitchen of
olden time-the girls that could wash
iron, brew, bake, harness horse and
drive him, no less than braid straw, EN-.
broider, paint, and road innumerable books
this race of women, pride of olden time,
is daily lessening; and in their stead come
the fragile, easy fatigued, laaguid girls Of
a modern age, drilled in book learning
ignorant Of common things"

We could never tell whether the unnat.

risked q legal investigation. The recogni-
tion between mother and child was COM
plOte, and the clothing we had carefully
preserved was fully Unidentified. Mrs.
West did not return to her mother in law
For some weeks she was my mothers
guest, and my patient, being prostrated
with low, nervous fever, and then she
rented the house next our own, her own
