currant Jelly.

A correspondent who vouches for it's excel
tence sends the following recipe: Pick over
the currants, taking out all defective ones,
leaves, etc. but it is not necessary to pick
them from the stems. Put them into q pre-
se~rving-kettle. and to every quart of currants
allow one-half a teacupful ofwater. Letthem
boil thoroughly until they are all broken and
the juice appears to be all out. Strain through
3 piece Of flannel Weigh tho juice, and to
every pound of it allow an equal weight of
white graduated sugar. Let the kettle be
thoroughly washed; and now pour into it the
juice with the sugar. Stir occasionally until
thoroughly dissolved. AS soon as it begins to
boil, q white scum rises to tho top, which
must be skinned of. By the time this is ac-
complished, the jelley is done, and can be tax
en- from the fire. On no account let it boil
with the sugar longer than four minutes The
glasses should be filled at once, before it con-
geals, which it will begin to do Immediately.
To prevent their cracking, a little of the hot
jelly SHOULD be poured into the bottom Of each
Of The tumblers, to heat them slightly, before
filling up. This rule will apply to all jeliies
made Of fruit

Mexico and It's RESOURCES.

The tableland of Mexico, elevated
5000 to 6, 900 feet above the level Of
the sea, constitutes the region which
ultimately, according to Humboldt, was
to be traversed by the people going "a
the North and South. Mexico has a
population o about 10, 200, 900, OF whom
about 200, 900 are Europeans speaking
the Spanish language, and Of tho re-
mainder about 4,5OO, 900 are Indians.
These Indians are different from the In
dams familiar to us in their appearance,
their bearing, and their utterance. They
have inely-shaped heads, good, broad,
square foreheads, intelligent eyes. They
have, in short, about them the charac-
teristics of their descent from their noble
ancestry. Their industries are very little
developed as yet. Idon't see any imme-
date prospect but that in the near
future there will be a great development
of the arts of industry in Mexico. II il

richness IN mineral wealth. It is es-
timated that the amount Of wealth taken
from the mines of Mexico is already
more than "a, 600, 600 900. The prospect
of Mexico being able to raise all variety
of agricultural products lies in the fact
that, Notwithstanding her position ac-
cording to latitude, she embraces every
degree Of climate that you could ind
