Foods gives the following simple for
mula for making vinegar: One gallon OF
water, one and quarter of a pound OF
raw sugar, and quarter of pint of
yeast. AT temperature of eighty de-
grees it will be sufficiently acid in three
or four days to be drawn off, when an
ounce of cut raisins and the same weight
of cream OF tartar should be added, and
after few weeks the sweet taste will
entirely disappear, when it may be
bottled.

SIR-When the news reached Eng.
land Of the death Of General Il. j. Jack
son $50 well known as "Stonewall Jack.
son, n subscription was spontaneously
organized in this country among persons
who admired the character Of that truly
great man, TO procure statue Of him
which they might present to his native
country rs a tribute of English sympa-
thy and admiration. The work was en-.
trusted TO n most distinguished artist.
the late Mr.. j. II. Foley. II. A.: and
although its progress was DELAYED by
the ill-health Of the sculptor, by his con
scientious desire for the accuracy Of the
portrait. and latterly by his death. il
has been brought to n successful con-
clusion in the form Of standing statue
Of heroic size, cast in bronze. 10 is a
very noble work Of art, and il ia hoped
and believed n faithful likeness.
As representing the subscribers. IL is
now my ploasurahle duty 90 ask you
whether the State Of Virginia would &C.
cept this memorial Of its distinguished
son. and tribute Of English sympathy.
and would guarantee its erection in
some conspicuous spot IN the city Of
BichmOnd1
u tho answer is favorable. / would
take the necessary steps TO forward the
statue 20 It's destination. It's the priv.
ilegc Of members Of our Royal Academy
Of Arts that the works Of n deceased &C.
ademican may be contributed 20 the
exhibition Immediately succeeding his
death. II is considered due alike tothe
artist and the subject that the English
people should have the opportunity OF
seeing the statue before IL leaves this
country forever. The annual exhibi.
ton Of the Academy closes about the
beginning OF August, after which date
no delay need take place in forwarding
the statue TO Virginia.

To The Senate and House Of Delegates:
The accompanying letter from the
Hon. MIR. Hope, member of the British
Parliament for the University of Cam.
bridge, contains information which can.
not fail to inspire every patriotic Vir-
ginian with gratitude and pride. 1t an.
nounces that bronze statue of heroic
size, designed and executed by one of
the fist artists of the old world, and pre-.
! senting faithful likeness of the immor-
tai Thomas Jonathan Jackson, is offered.
as tribute of English admiration and
sympathy, for the acceptance ofthe Com
monwealth. The statue is represented by
| competent Judges to be most imposing&
beautiful work of art. 1t was procured
through subscriptions spontaneously or.
ganized among friends of Virginia in
the mother country who admire the
character and love the memory of our
dead hero. 1t remains for the State to
accept this splendid gift, and to guaran-
tee Its erection on some conspicuous site
within the capitol grounds. 1t is not
doubted that the General Assembly will
promptly and appropriately recognize
the munificence which offers such hon.
or to Virginia, and will make what
ever appropriation may be sufficient
to receive the statue and erect it on
a suitable pedestal. 1t revives no ami.
mosities of the past, it wounds the
sensibilities of no good man of what
ever party or section, to honor and re.
we're the memory of jackson. All the
world knows that the earth beneath
which his body lies covers the ashes of
n patriot and hero whose greatness sheds
lustre on the age in which he lived His
example belongs to mankind, and his
deeds and virtues will be cherished bv
all the coming generations of the great
American republic as among the proud
est memorials of common glory. Ma
ny others are now the objects of higher
honors and louder praise, but when the
accidents Of fortune and success shallno
longer determine the value of principles
and achievements, when the names of
others now more applauded shall have
been swept into oblivion by the hand of
time, the memory Of Stonewall Jackson.
like that Of his great commander, will
continue to grow brighter as the centu.
ries pass into history.
You can make no wiser expenditure
of money than that which serves to per-
petually recall the example Of this great
and good man, and to incite our chill
dren to initiate his virtues.

EGGS AS DIET.-Would it not be wise
to substitute more eggs for meat in our
daily diet? About one-third ofthe weight
of an egg is solid nutriment. This is

up OF ten parts shell, sixty parts white,

two ounces. Practically an egg is ami

The Beautiful River"
Br WILLIAM T. HEAros.

The light streams over the meadows,
The first clear light of the dawn,
And the crystal blue waves OF the river
Roll nightly, grandly on.
oh, river Beautiful River"
When the stars look down at night
They mirror themselves in thy moving tide
AS thou sweepest on In thy might.
AT night. when the earth is sleeping,
Thy pillows still speed on,
With only their own grand music
To tell that they are gone.
Yes, river, thou art ever flowing,
When We wake, or when we dream,
Go are our days as swiftly going
AS the bubbles on thy stream.

Savannah Sale.

To-day at 1880 A. NJ. an excursion
train leaves for the new town of Sa.
vannah, on the S. p. r. r., for the ac-
commodation of all desiring to pur-
chase lots, returning at $3.50 p. NJ. Sa-
vannah is near Ell Monte, and the
most promising station on the S. P.
r.. r. 1t is laid out in the center Of
the homesteads of Hon. Asa Ellis and
Mr. f. Gibson, and this section is
noted for its fertility and many other
advantages. 1t is surrounded by
churches, schools and fiourishing set
Elements; has store, telegraph office
and depot; the railroad company runs
its trains to accommodate all desirin g
this station for country residence,
and its price puts 1t within the reach
of all. The price of these lots, when
compared with Cotton, is very low, be-
ing $50 to $3.50 per lot, ,one.third down,
one-third in six months, one-third in
twelve months. 1t is the section for a
poor man, as 1t is very fertile, and any
family can raise all the necessaries of
life on a small tract. An investment
in Savannah is sure to double itself in
q year, for in that time there will be a
large and thrifty settlement of enter
prising people. Take the excursion
train to-day and make an investment
at Savannah. Fare for the round trip

Sale OF Oil Paintings.

The aesthetic taste of our people is
shown by the adornment of their
houses, and home without pictures is
barn.like and dreary. Show us man
without taste for pictures and we will
show you one whose education has
been neglected. Even the savage Or
naments his buffalo robe with rude
sketches TO suit his barbarous fancy,
and the shell of the humble tortoise is
striped and beautified by the almlgh-
ty hand of nature. Turn where we
will the ornamentation of nature Is
found superior to the skill of the hu-
man artist, and from our study of ma
ture all ourlOve Of the beautiful is de-
rived. Painting, music, literature
and all those surroundings that appeal
to the taste and finer feelings are alb
solute necessities to the cultivated
man, and without cultivation OF
these finer feelings man relapses far
back into barbarism, and has little
ambition above the oyster. For
week Mr.. Levi has exhibited his fine
collection of oil paintings, by foreign
and native artists, and the whole lot
will be sold by auction this afternoon
and evening, without reserve, as the
owner is expecting at San Francisco
large invoice from Paris. We know
our citizens have as good taste as any
people on the coast, and we hope to
see an appreciative audience this after
noon at o'clock and this evening at
7 O'Clock at DucOmmun's Hall. For
parlor ornaments these elegant pic
lures are unsurpassed. Most of the
paintings are by well known artists,
and guaranteed to be done by pencil
and brush. They are to be sold at
peremptory sale and will undoubtedly
go low, but we do hope to see a crowd
present who will look at these works
of art with an appreciative eye. Mr..
Levi does not care so much that they
may go low, but he does hope his art
efforts will be appreciated. Remem-
ber the sale this afternoon at l o'clock
and this evening at o'clock.

burial. On Tuesday night they sent out their
wagon and had the bodies brought in and laid
In their establishment, where they were neat
~ coffined. An immense crowd visited their
establishment yesterday, requiring the aid Of
q policeman to keep the street clear. The
Coroner's jury brought in a verdict in accor-
dance with the facts. So ends the melancholy
history of pair of fools; too cowardly to live

Tract can take the Main street cars and be on

really the garden spot OF Los Angeles, and
can not be surpassed for beauty, location and
surroundings. Mr.. Waldron has expended
twenty five thousand dollars in beautifying
this tract, and he now has q little paradise of
his own. On the ground will be found foreign
and domestic grapes, orange trees, lemon
trees lime trees, fig trees, pomegranites, BAN
anas, palms, Australian gums, evergreens
and all sorts of decduOus trees. A horse

notice, he was going to quit the business"
We thanked Mr. Graham for his politeness
and determined to make every exertion to
ascertaiR his business from other sources.
We will give Mr.. Graham written guaran-
tee that we will not give him any special no.
tice and will interpose no obstacle to his
quitting the business. During the year he
has made plans for Gen. Lon.street's resi-
dence in the southern part of the city, and
Johnson's Club Room at Santa Monica. Yet
he Is going to quit business! If Mr.. Graham
has done any more work we will be pleased
to publish his list In the HERALD, though he

The Wine Product Of Napa County.

Interviews with the wine makers,
says the Napa Register, reveal the
fact that less wine has been made this
season than was made last year in this
county; but the general verdict is that
the wine is of better quality. One,
we may say the principal reason, CIV
en- for the decrease in the production
is the large amount of old stock on
hand and the slowness of the market.
Van Beaver & Thompson report their
manufacture as $4,000 gallons this sea-
son, and their entire amount in store
as 10000 gallons. Bachelor has
made $4,000 gallons, Mansfield (at
Browns Valley)has made 10000, and
Migliavacca $1,000. The figures re-
ported from the wine makers of the
upper end of the valley, an | which we
have already published, show the ag-
gregate yield in that portion of the
county to be 5S3, 900. The total wine
product of the county this year will
probably come but little short of u
million gallons.
