CUCUMBER PIcKLEs.-A writer IN the
Rural Nep Yorker gives the following
directions about pickles: To every five gal,
Ions OF strong vinegar add pint OF pure
alcohol, lump of alum the size of a
small walnut, and handful each, OF
ground or pounded pepper, cloves, CHINA
mon and allspice. Pepper alone may be
used if preferred, or the spices can be
omitted altogether, but they add greatly to
the flavor Of the pickles. a few pieces of
horseradlsh are also an Improvement
The alum must not be omitted as 1t hard,
ems the pickles Put the cucumbers right
in the barrel, kcg or crock containing the
prepared vinegar each day as they are
gathered. If necessary to wash them do
not rub them. Lay board on them with
sufficient weight to keep the pickles under
the vinegar, and allow no scum TO form.
Cucumbers should be cut late in the even
ing, or early IN the morning, and handled
carefully. Tender string beans and radish
pods, green tomatoes, and p!ums shat are
almost upe but not soft may also be put
in the same vinegar with the cucumberS,
and they will make excellent pickles.
Peaches, pears, cherries, onions, etc, might
be prepared in the same way, but | have
never tried them. If good cider vinegar
Is not to be had, make vinegar of slrup,
allowing one gallon to three or four OF wa
ter. The pickles are soon ready for use.
We always follow the above mode and
many have declared our pickles the best
they ever tasted

Considerations which Ent'r into the Mar
riare Contract.


With the lawyer the contract of mar
riage---the most important of all con-
tracts-may be supposed 10 rest upon
the gravest considerations. and give
rise TO the most serious deliberations.
He may well inquire:
/. What relations must be prohibited
from marrying each other?
2. At how early an age may marriage
be permitted. and what relations must
be called upon to assent to tue marriage
of minors?
8. Ought the insane who have lucid
intervals to be permitted to marry?
4. Are there any diseases as
leprosy, elephantiasis, scrotula, or 9th
crs--whch ought to prevent the mar
riage of such diseased persons?
8. Ought marriage with inveterate
drunkards TO be prohibited?
G. Are there any crimes which ought
10 be considered as n bar TO the mar
riage of the criminal?
z. Assuming, according to the preju-
dies of the largest number. that the
white is the superior race, ought laws
&c be passed prohibiting marriage be-
tw cen white persons and Indians, ne-
groeS, Australians, or Chinese?
What will be the effect of such mar
riages on the welfare of the state? Will
they drag down the assumed superior
race, while they tend to build up the
other race? Will such marriages offend
the race prejudices alike of the black
and white races? Or will such mar
riages be pleasing TO the one race and
displeasing to the other? Will not the
violation of race prejudices by such
marriages occasion unhappiness, and is
there any advantage To the state to COM
pensate the misery? What has been the
result of the marriages of white women
with negro men on the happiness of the
wives and their offspring?
Such questions as these. it may be as
sumed, are in the mind and province OF
the legislatures when marriage laws are
framed, and who shall say that such
grounds ought not 10 be considered?
When we bear in mind how difficult il
is TO pass laws through congress, and
how difficult il is to pass uniform laws
which do not operate harshly on some
portion of our immense country, we
may well question the ACCESSIBILITY OF
amending the constitution of theUnited
States in order To put the subject of the
marriage relation under the control OF
congress. How many years has the
parliament of England been wrestling
with the deceased wife s-sistcr question
