Making Cider Vinegar.

Various methods for Fastening the conversion
of cider into vinegar have been recon mended.
A recent French method which seems practl-
cable, is the following: Scald three barrels OF
casks with hot water, rinse thoroughly ana
empty. Then scald with boiling vinegar. roll
ing the barrels and allowing them to stand on
their sides two or three days until they be-
come thoroughly saturated with the vinegar :;
The barrels are then filled about one-thlrd Jul
with strong, pure cider vinegar and TWO gal
Ions of cider added. Every eighth DAY tnere-
after two gallons of cider are added. until the
barrels are two-thirds full The whole is al
lowed to stand fourteen days longer, when IL u
will be found to be good vinegar, and one,nall
of it may be drawn and the process OF hiling
with cider be begun again. In summer the
barrels are allowed to stand exposed to the
sun, and in cold weather kept where the Tell
perature is so degrees.

Correspondence of New England farmer :
The time to SOW winter rye is from July to
November-the earlier the better. Early sown
furnishes abundant feed, besides getting well
set. Just before winter sets in it is better to
SOW spring rye. The time to harvest is when
the kernel is the largest; if cut then, it shrinks
the least, it thrashes earlier, and makes winter
flour.

Whose station is at home,
Then watt the REFERS simple prayer,
And let it oft be whispered there,
While distant seas roam.
Farewell to father-stime worn hulk
Who, spite of metal, spite of bulk
Must soon his cable slip;
Yet, ere he's broken up, I'll try
The flag OF gratitude to fly
In duty TO the ship.
Farewell to mother-faithfulw wife
Who launched me on the sea of life,
And rugged me fore and aft
May Providence her timber spare,
And keep her hull in good repair
TO tow the smaller craft.
Farewell to sister-loyely yacht
Though whether she'll be manned or not
lean not now foresee,
Yet may some craft a tender prove,
Well found in stores of truth and love,
To take her under lee.
Farewell to Jack, the jolly boat
And all our little craft afloat,
In homes delightful bay,
When they arrive at ssailing age,''
May wisdom get the weather guage,
And guide them on their way.
Farewell to alton life's rudes main,
Perchance we neer shall meet again,

Yet when lie summons US above,
Well harbor In the port of love,
And all be moored together

Death loves shining mark" How. APP

this sketch while yet in the bloom Of man
hood, looking forward to future full of use
fulness, surrounded by happy thoughts, full
OF the eagerness of lite, and leaving behind
only glad recollection of life well spent
we are called upon to mourn his loss. 1 have
no hesitation in saying, that the death OF
Charles e. Rhoads leaves a void that can
scarce be filled. While not largely identified
with public affairs his career was such as to
leave bright example to the young of the
present age. Industrious, sober, mature,
might say beyond his years, he leaves re-
cord that may well be taken n advantage Of by
those who are growing up to manhood.

with the world, he passed to silence and

yet, when death enters q happy household
and takes therefrOm the loved one. to whom
all look up tor advice when needed, encOur-
agement when wanted, reproOf when neces-
sary, we often wonder, whether HE who
doeth all things well,' may not in the near
futnle show us the reason why.

friend demonstrates-the frailty OF human lite

STUBBORN SHIPHEKD.
More Contumacy on the Part Of the Peruvian
Witness-f3laine's Relation to the
Enterprise.

Enterprise.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-At the Ship
herd examination to Gay the matter Of
revising the official record was postponed
for the present. In reply to questions of
Mr.. Belmont, Shipherd stated that the
text of the letter in which Hurlbut was
offered $3.50, 900 of stock was read to Secre.
tary Blaine and he remarked. "Well, that
won't make much impression on Steve; -
Witness said that when he came
from the secretary and thought over his
several interviews he was always impressed
with the belief that the secretary was in
accord with their wishes.
Mr.. Belmont then questioned witness as
to who were the parties interested in tho
Peruvian company that Shipherd had a.
luded to as "friends of Gen. Grant and of
President Garfield
Witness evaded a direct answer and said
there were gentlemen interested who were
personal friends of both Grant and Gar
field. He refused, under any circum-
stances, to give list of the stockholders
of the Peruvian company.
Witness then went into long explana-
ton of impressions upon him in his inter-
views with Secretary Blaine. Witness
belief was all through summer that the
secretary fully intended to cooperate with
him, but the letter from the secretary on
the Sd of December, in which he wrote in
such terms of utter condemnation, fell
upon him (Shipherd) like thunderbolt.
He was greatly surpr ised and could not
account for the sudden change of the sec
retary only by supposing Hurlbut had i'm
pressed upon tho secretary's mind that
there was nothing in the claim.
In reply to Belmont witness said he
never for a moment thought that Blaine
expected to derive any personal or pecun
iary benefit from the claim. He said he
believed the secretary's change of attitude
was because he was going to leave the
cabinet and, fearing publicity of his con.
nection with Shipherd, he made up his
mind to put a letter on record which
would indicate that he always knew Ship
herd to be fraud. Adjourned until to-
morrow.

the present time there had been RENTED
to Ireland s169, 262.
The report was frequently interrupted
with applause, three cheers being given
when the large contribution from Massa-
chusetts was announced. The delegates
from New York and California inquired
if the report included all the receipts from
those states-they knew the amounts were
greater than announced by the report.
The chairman explained that the treasurer

and not what was sent direct to Ireland,
