BLACKBERRY WI NE.-About year ago
we wrote somewhat lengthy article upon
the manufacture of wine from the native
blackberry, or dcwbcrry, properly speaking
which article was extensively copied In all
parts Of the South. Many of our subscri-
bcrs and acquaintance, taking our suggestions
rs guide, made large and small quantities,
with varying success. The season has again
arrived and we urge the manufacture of a
moderate quantity Of this wholesome bcver-
age, which in hot weather, possesses also
great medical virtues. 1t is, par crcclIcncc,
poor mans wine.
In the briefest possible manner we repeat
directions, which, if followed with reasona.
bic exactncss, will give wine superior in
quality to any imported or native grape
product.
Pick only ripe fruit, the ripper the better
Remove all leaves, stems and other trash
rs if preparing the berries for the table
Take any large kettle (not an iron onc)
fill it half full of berries, adding just water
enough to cover. Heat gradually to gen.
tie boil Have bag, made of coarse mus.
lin ready and clean whisky barrel with
one end out, or large tub will answer
Pour the cooked berries and juice into the
bag, placing it in the barrel or tub
Squeeze by wringing till as much as posi-
bic of the juice has Lcon extracted. Return
this juice to the kettle, add three to four
pounds of sugar for each gallon of juice,
heat the whole to just boil and clarity it
as lift were syrup. Be careful not to scorch
When finished, empty into clean, sweet
whisky barrel, placed in the position it is
to occupy during the iermcnting period,
and repeat the foregoing directions till the
barrel is entirely full
Now take the "pomacc' or pressed berries
orrUrrr-"si,-..-r -, :,
heavy pressure while extracting the juice.
Clarity as before and keep this in some
convenient vessel to use for replacing the
waste of fermentation. The barrel must
be kept full the bung being left out for the
escape Of impurti IS.
When fermentation has ceased, bung
tightly, but have small gimlct.holc in the
bung filed with small plug, which should
be occasionally removed for short time
for the escape of gas Rack off and bottle
on some clear, cool day in the winter and
the work is done The spigot should be
placed in the barrel before the juice is in
troduccd and great care should be taken
not to disturb or shake the barrel at any
time, even, while drawing of. The wine
will keep for an indefinite period, and grow
better with age OW WOmc .JournuL

RIGlITs OF TIE RoAD-A legal author
ity, in an opinion as to the rights OF the
road, says if, q farm deed is bounded by or
upon road it usually extendsto the middle
of the roadway. The farmer owns the soil
of half the road, and may use tho grass
trees, stones, gravel, sand or anything OF
value to him, either on the land or beneath
the surface, subject only to the superior
rights of the public to travel over the road,
and that of the highway surveyor to use
such materials for the repair of the road ;
and these materials may be carried away
and used elsewhere on the road. No other
man has a right to feed his cattle there, or
cut the grass or trees, much less deposit
his wood, old carts, wagons or other things
there The owner of Il drove of cattle that
stops to feed in front of your land, or a
drove of pigs which root up the soil, is res
ponsible to you at law, as much as if they did
the same thing the inside fence. Nobody s
children have a right to pick up the apples
under your trees, although the same stand
wholly outside Of your fence. No private
person has right to cut or lop oifthc limbs
of yolr trees in order to move his old barn
or other buildings along the highway, and
no traveller can hitch his horse to your
trees by the sidewalk, without being liable,
if he guaws the bark or otherwise Injuries
them. IF your well stands partly on your
land and partly outside the fence, no neigh
Dor can use it except by your permission.
Nay, more, no man has right to stand in
front of your land and insult you with abu-
sivc language without being liable to you
for trespassing on your land. He has a
right to pass and repass, in an ordinary
and becoming manner; q right to use the
road, but not to abuse it. But not with
standing the farmer owns the soil of the
road, even he cannot use it for any purpose
which intcrtercs with the use of it by the
public for travel He cannot put his pig
pen, wagons, cart, wood, or other things
there, if the highway surveyor orders them
away as obstructing public travel. |! he
leaves such things outside his fence, and
within the limits Of the highway, as actually
laid out, though some distance from the
traveller path, and travelled runs into them
in the night and is injured, the owner is
not only liable to him for private damages
but may also be indicted and fued for OBJ
s.ructing public highway. And if he has
a fence or wall along the highway, he must
place it all on his land, and not half on the
road, as ia the case of division fences be-
tween neigbbors. But as he owns the soil,
if the read is discontinued, or located else
where, the land rcverts to him and he may
inclosc it to the center, and use, it rs part
of his farm.-Prdric Farmer

MoNEY.-Money is queer institution.
1t buys provender, satisfies justice, and
heals wounded honor. Everything revolves
itself into cash, from stock jobbing to build
ing churches. Childhood Graves pennies,
youth aspires to dimes, manhood is swaycd
by the mighty dollar. The blacksmith
swings his sedge, the lawyer pleads for his
client, and the judge decides the question
of life and death for his salary. Money
makes the man, therefore the man must
make money, if he would be respected by
fools for the eye of the world looks through
golden spectaclcs. Itbuys Brussels carpets,
lace curtains, gildcd co.niccs and rich fur
niturc, and builds marble mansions 1t
drives up to church in grand rigs, and
pays the rent Of the best pew. 1t buys
silks and jewelry for my lady. 1t COM
mands the respect of gaping crowds and
secures obsequious attention. 1t enables
US to be charitable, to send Bibles to the
heather, and relieve domestic iudigencc-
1t gilds the rugged scenes OF life, and
spreads over the rugged path of existence
velvet carpet soft to our tread the rude
scenes Of turmoil are ncascd in gilt frame
1t bids care vanish, soothes the anguish of
the bed of sickness, stops short of nothing
save the grim destroyer, whose relentless
hand spares none, but levels all mortal dis
tinctons and teaches poor, weak humanity
that it is but dust. Thus wealth pauscs on
the brink of eternity. the beggar and the
millionaire rest side by side beneath the
sod, to rise in equality to answer the final
summons.

Guarding Suffrage.
II ahould not be understood that

It should not be understood that
We contend for other than strict

There must, 10 our opinion, be
some qualification other than nature
necessary before this great boon, this
honorable privilege should he exer-
cised. Our forefathers contended that
no man should be allowed to take
part in the affairs Of government
save those who had community Of
purpose and interest, and We have

We contend, and We Gee no reason
Why, if it works there with 90 much
charm, it should not be put in prac.

National Quarantine

1t is q startling fact that in New
Orleans the most blatant and rigid
advocates Of a National Quarantine
are those who bitterly oppose any ef-
fort Of the State to exclude vessels
aud persons from West Indian and
South American ports during the
summer months. We are sure that
this "wood pile" contains a "nigger'
of no mean proportion. The "busi.
oess interest" of tho country have
long since learned that they can con.
troll tho government of the Uuioo
moro readily than that Of tho States,
and we venture tho assertion that il
cor Cougressmen we're such u,ou,ss,
(which We do not believe) ~ to enact
