10th for to be hanged, and bit the man
his hand four times and his leg twice
and tore his clothes and ruined him his
temper and the man fled to the house

the better. Remove all leaves,

any large kittle (uot an iron one,)
fill it half full of berries, adding
Just water enough to cover. Heat
gradually to a gentle boil. Have
a bag, made OF coarse muslin ready
and a clean whisky barrel with
one end out, or large tub will
answer. Pour the cooked berries
| and juice into the bag, blazing it
in the barrel or tub. Squeeze by
wringing till as much as possible
Of the juice has beeo extracted. Re-
turn this juice to the kettle, add
three to four pounds Of sugar for
each gallon Of juice, heat the whole
to Just a boi! and clarity it as if il
were syrup. Be careful not to
scorch. When finished, empty in

py during the fermenting period
and repeat the foregoing directions
till the barrel is entirely full.
Now take tho fpomare" o.

SNORING.

The habit Of snoring is pc
Guitar to no class, but that the
snorer is a common pest no one
will deny. A contributor to
the. Popular Science Monthly
tells the cause Of snoring, and
how it may be erred. First,
as the cause. The air reaches
the lungs through two chan
nels, the nose and the mouth
The two currents meet 10 the
throat below the soft of the
pelate, the end Of which
hangs loose, and swings back
ward and forward, producing
the snoring. If the air reach
es the lungs, as it should,
through the nose, no noise
will be made. If it reaches
the same through the mouth
the palate will make more
noise, since it is not the ma
tural channel. But when it
rushes in through both these
channels, then it is that the
sound sleeper banishes rest
from the pillows OF his com.
panions by his hidcous noises
The remedy for snoring is
to keep the mouth closed
and for this purpose DR.
Wyeth, the writer of article
referred to, has invented al
; article so cheap that any on
can make it, and no snore
, should be without it. 1t con-
: sists Of a simple cap, fttin!

accused of it. AS a further
inducement to the introduce
ton of this continuance Of DR..
Wyeth, it may be added that
breathing through the mouth
is verv detrimental TO the
health. and that many diseas-
es of tho throat and lungs are
contracted or aggravated
thereby.

DAN BECOME A CITIZEN.

An impression is abroad
that the Chinese cannot be-
come citizens Of the United
States under our naturallza'
ton laws. A year ago, it may
have been, some statesman
claimed to have made the dis
covery that before the eman-
cipation Of the slaves none
but Europeans, or at least
persons of the Caucasian race,
could become citizens, but
that after emancipation the
laws were amended so that
persons Of African nativity or
descent might be admitted to
citizenship. This pretended
discovery was widely publish
ed, and seems to have been
accepted as true. But an ex-
animation Of the statutes dis
closes nothing to support this
opinion that of all the races
and colors of men on the globe
none but whites and blacks
can become citizens. Section
=, 2l65 of the revised statutes
provides thct an alien may te
admitted 10 become a citizen
, of the United States in a GER
, taio manner. The statute does
not say white alien or a
y, black alien, or an alire OF any
p particular race or races, nor is
there anythingin the prescrib-
. ed manner in which an alien
e may become a citizen which
implies that any alien may be
I excluded from citizenship on
j. account of race or color. The

TINE moYT INDICTMENT.

The undetermined manner in which
Hoyt, editor Of the late Cherry Creek
independent, was indicted by the Grand
Jury of White Pine county for pub
fishing an alleged libelous article rela.
tive to Senator Comins of that county,
mas been pretty generally discussed by
the press and the people in Nevada.
The Indictment was found without con-
sitting the District Attorney, and that
officer was first appraised of the fact
when the jury presented the indict-
ment in open court. Legal gentlemen
here, who have been discussing the
unprecedented manner in which the m
dictment' was procured, say it is not
valid, unless signed by the District At
= orney, as the Criminal Practice Act
makes it the duty of the District At
torney to Sign indictments. As the
GrandJury undoubtedly acted under in.
structions from hired counsel it is prob
able that the important matter was not
overlooked, and that they compelled the
District Attorney to sign an Indictment
not procured through his instrument
tality or by his consent. 1t will be in
order, if the Indictment is not quashed
and the case is brought to trial, to as
certain what pressure was brought to
bear on the Grand Jury to get the
members composing it to ignore their
legal adviser OH such an important
subject.

Most of the wine used in England for
the holy communion in Roman Catholic
churches comes from the vineyards of
the English colleges Of Lisbon and Val
ladolid, and is white; but elsewhere red
wine is usual. The Roman Catholic
and Episcopal churches have no rule as
to the color, but demand pure juice of
the grape.
