Public Opinion and the Jews.

The London Spectator of July 21st, in
speaking Of the Hebrew controversy in
this country, mentions as a case in point,
the following: "The Vicar of st. Johns,
Taunton, has formally requested Mr.
Jacob Myers, the Jewish mayor of the
borough, to deny the report that he is
an unbaptized person.. This denial, he
writes, is necessary to relieve the town
councillors of the distressing imputa-
ton that they have knowingly elected
as representative of the town one who
does not believe in Him whom they pro-
fess to worship Mr.. Myers, in a very
dignifed, though short letter, replies
simply that he is proud to be a member
of the Hebrew faith, and equally proud
that his Christian friends and neighbCrs
have not permitted religious differences
to influence them in their choice. We
suspect that the Jewish nervousness
about public opinion which is so observ-
able in both England and Am srica is
based upon a better knowledge of the in.
tolerance still lingering in society than
other men possess. Living Jews remem-
Der the explosion of popular anger which
followed their first admission into muni-

Holding the Fort.

Last week we mentioned that some
Syracuse gentlemen were constructing
shanties Just above Curtis, for the pur-
pose of camping ottt. The buildings be-
ing completed, they are now ocCipiBd by
a party of ladies and gentlemen. Just
above these buildings there is another
party composed entirely of young gen
tlemen; Whe have. put up& tent, and are
also camping. These young gentlemen
have taken the liberty to call on these
young ladies on several occasions, and the
young ladies thinking that etiquette de-
manded that they return their calls,
they proceeded to dc so one day last
week. But, as the sequel will
show, they had selected a very in
suspicious occasion to make their visit
1t being a very warm day, the young
gentlemen thought they would battle in
the lake. Consequently they disrobed,
and were proceeding to enjoy themselves
to the fullest extent, when one of the
boys espied their visitors approaching in
the distance; but too late to think of pre-
pairing themselves to receive them, and
with one accord they started for their
tent, leaving their clothes upon the
bank. The young ladies came up and
were not q little surprised at the cool
reception they met with. Finally they
discovered the clothing upon the bank,
and coming to the conclusion that the
young gentleman they had come to call
upon had been in bathing and had all
been drowned, they were consulting
whether it would be best to institute a
search themselves or go back and alarm
the camp, when one of the victims of
this episode folded his tent (not like the
Arab about his shapely form, and putt
delivered himself of the following

A Honse Sol Made Mith Hands.

Mt. H., of Kiddville, contributes the
following to the Clark County Democrat ::
Mr.. Jenkins, of Clay county, Ken
lucky, reliable gentleman and extensive
cattle dealer, gave us the following facts
last Saturday: About IS years ago George
Burkhardt, German, emigrated to this
country, and settled with his family in
Knox county, KY, (now called Holland).
Houses being scarce in that day and sec
ton, he moved his family into a large
sycamore stump. This stump or hollow
tree had five stumps which were also hol-
low. Four of these he cut off and 10 ted
in, and the fifth he used as a chin icy.
There was room enough in this I" home
without hands for three beds, a set Of
chairs, table, cupboard and other furni-
ture. Here In his novel home, besides
his family and furniture, he stored away
his bear, deer and buffalo meat. Nh
Harris, Mr.. Us father-in-law, says he has
often gone counting in that stump. and
that it was big enough for any couple to
court IN and not be heard by the old folks
either.

Dat. vs.. Corn for Live stoca.

Concerning this subject, DR.. James.
the commissioner of agriculture, of Geo
gia, writes as follows:
Taking into consideration the cost of
production, the chemical analysis and the
comparative freedom from stealase oats
are cheaper as stock food than corn
One bushel or ffty-six pounds of corn
costs tiity.eight cents, while one bushel
or thirty-two pounds of oats costs twenty
njne cents, making a difference of thirteen
cents in the cost of one hundred pounds
OF the two. Chemical analysis shows
that oats contain twelve per cent. o.
buminOids, or flesh and muscle produc-
ing principle, while corn contains ten
per cent. 1t will thus be seen that for
work animals, oats are more valuable
than corn as food when equal weights
are used. Consider, now, that one hun
dred pounds of oats costs thirteen cents
less than one hundred pounds of corn.
and the case stands decidedly in favor of
oats for work stock.
In tat-produCing properties, corn has
seven per cent. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that when equal weights only are
compared, corn has the advantage as a
fat-producer. But taking the cost in
consideration, there is no choice in this
respect. Another decided advantage of
oats for our climate, and especially for
summer use, is, that while they supply
more muscle, they are less heating and
facilitating to the work animal consum-
e them. Still another advantage is
f eedom from rotten grain and weevil,
which frequently cause corn to iniure
sock. Still another item in favor of oats
is that freedmen do not eat them, nor
can they so rapidly sell them when stolen.
This corresponds with the fact that
ninety-six per cent of the correspondents
report that cotton cannot be raised at a
profit on brought supplies. Eighty-lour

Keeninr aheen.

There is more profit, on the average,
an keeping sheep ia this country than in
any other country on the globe. With
the exception of Holland and Belgium,
the annual weight of flesh in America
exceeds that Of any other country. In
those two countries the average weight is
sixty pounds; in America it is fifty-two
pounds. But owing to the higher price
received here for wool, the annual reve-
nue. from each sheep here is just double
that in Belgium, and nearly double that
in Holland. The annual revenue here is
S2.l6, on the average; Australia is next
highest, $l.51 Spain next, $1.45. Only
five other countries exceed 81, and in
Russia and Greece the revenue is only
45 cents. The average weight, as we'll as
the price, will be largely increased when
our vast focks of coarse-wool sheep have
been bred up TO the condition they I'M

Cucumber PicEIlnE.

Cut off your cucumbers with sharp
knife, and avoid bruising them as much
as possible The pickle: To one gallon
of alcohol put seven gallons of water, and
to one barrel of pickles put two table
spoonfuls of pulverized alum; place your
pickle in the barrel and +hen wash your
Cucumbers clean and drop them in; then
cover them with cloth, being careful to
have the cloth cover them all UP. AS
fast as the cloth collects the slime from
them, wash it and replace it over the Gu
cumbers. The cloth must be washed at
least once a week as long as any scum OF
slime rises. The vinegar made in this
way can be used for table use, or any
other use that vinegar is for after tbs
pickles are used out.

market
The southern states send forward some
of the best fruit we have, and in Virgin
Ia, n, rth Carolina, Tennessee and Geor-
gia, the curing of the same has become
quite an industry and source of profit.
Dealers generally throughout the coun-
try will enhance the value of all fruit,
and serve in their own interest greatly
by observing the following hints of refer
ence to the curing and packing of the
same: Care should be taken that all
Iarcs are correctly marked, and the fruit
to run uniform throughout each and
every package; ship none that is not
well dried put in new or very clean
secondhand barrels do not put more
than the one kind in the same package,
thereby securing for your shipments a
reputation which will generally insure
quick sales at full market prices; mark
or brand the kind and quality, together
with weight and tare, distinctly, send in
voice descriptive of weights, etc, also
railroad receipts or bill of lading, with
every shipment.
All dried fruits sell principally by col
or, which should be bright; and to
obtain the same in apples and peaches,
they should be prepared for drying before
fully ripe. Sliced apples, if not bright,
do not pay for the trouble of slicing, and
the finest qualities should be packed in
new barrels, top and bottom lined with
paper. Bright quartered apples, well
cored, uniform in cut, are always more
or less in fair demand, and more atten-
tion should be given to them. Peeled
peaches should be sliced or cut in Fights
and invariably of a bright color. Dark
qualities rule low, and are slow of sale.
Unpeeled peaches should be cut into
halves or quarters. The largest peaches
should be selected for halves, size being a
consideration in them, while smaller
fruit is fully desirable to cut for quarters.
They should be kept entirely separate.
as when mixed they will not generally
sell at over price of quarters.-iSoutheyn
