Preserved Fruits and Vegetable.

1EeSeEheu r EHlts anu teSelaBIe.
Commissioner A J. McWhirter
has issued the following:
To County Agents and Exposition
Commissioners-To preserve fruit
and vegetables for exposition pur-
poses, the following Is suggested:
For strawberries, raspberries, black
berries and currants gooseberries'
plums, ard cherries, when thorough
ly ripe, use proof alcohol.
For peaches apples, pears, and
plums, cherries, currants and goose
berries, when not thoroughly ripe, use
one part water and two parts proof
alcohol
After the fruit stands in the alco-
hol three or four days, pour of and
add fresh alcohol, as above directed,
until all the coloring matter has been
extracted Then put the specimens
for permanent use in one part alec
hol and one part water.
Alcohol, once used and discolor-
ed. can be filtered and used on other
fruits and vegetables, or for perman--
ent specimens,
The proportion for l7etuhes, apples
and pears will answer for all kinds Of
vegetables,
The aboYe is for the information of
those who desire to preserve fruits
and vegetables for exposition purposes
aud not for family use.
All exchanges will pleases copy,
and readers will also cut this out.
Sheep are profitable in several ways
says the farmers Call. l. From wool.
,. From mutton. 3. From manure.
The gain from the last source is not
susceptible of change, whether the
price Of wool and mutton be high OF
low, A sheep gives returns in these
items for its keeping, and III baIanc
ing the returns the gains from the &C
emulation Of manure should be con-
sidered as well as the weight Of fleece
and carcass.

Mcmphefs K Nashville Railroad

CiSctcr Citizen.
There are a number oCreasons for
our silence regarding the proposed
Memphis and Nashville railroad, The
first and strouget is that we have
looked upon the scheme as one Of the
vehicles for obtaining a cheap noto-
Ifety for its projectors We based
our conclusions upon the fact that a
road is not needed from Nashville to
Memphis via. jackson, as 1t is pro-
posed TO ran this, because is could
not obtain a sufficient traffic to main
tain it running, as was proposed.

roads, only once being over % miles
from a competing line. II * very
plain, that the new lire could hardly
compete, profitable with an old, equal
~ short and well established line on
through freights.
Now, if any company, having
money, really desire to build a line
from Nashville TO Memphis, we be-
;ie>-e that the roetc suggested by the
Savannah Transcript is the most
feasible. This route is yia. Decatur
Vile, Shady Hill, Henderson, Boil

route would(D be entirely out Of the
territory Of competing lines for at
least thrce-fourths gifts length ;(2)
this route being much shorter than
any Of its competitors, could more
profitable handle through freigth,
while passenger traffic naturally seeks
the shortest routes; (3) the grading
OF such route, by avoiding hills that
must be encountered by the other
troute, would be materially decreased
in cost, and a. the grading from Hen
derson to Bolivar is ALREADY done,
and, we are assured by stockholders,

George S. Merrill, Paul Van Dervoort, and
Louis Wagner, representing the Grand Army
of the Republic, appeared before the commit
tee on invalid pensions yesterday in behalf
of pensioners. They opposed those bills
which propose to grant pensions at the
present time to all survivors of the war
regardless of whether they were wounded, or
have become disabled from service or are
needy. They favored the extension of tho
arrears limit to Jan. l, 1855, and the pension
ing of all honorably discharged soldiers and
sailors vino are now disabled and are dc.
pendent upon their own labor for support,
or who are 65 years of age, without COMPEL.
ing them to prove at this date that such disa.
bility actually arose from the service They
also favored bill equai2ing tho bounty OF
soldiers bill pensoning widows, and bill
granting pensions to survivors of rebel prisons
who are suffering from disability, without
compelling them TO prove that such disability
arose from the Imprisonment. They recou-
mended, also, Il somewhat higher rat, of
pension to crippled soldiers and soldiers
children.

The debate which preceded the vote is de-
scribed as devoid of incident and unproduc-
tive of results, senators having long oince
formed their opinions in favor of or against
tho treaty. Senator Gibson, of Louisiana,
made the first and longest speech, and was OF
course against the treaty on the ground that
it admits free sugar in competition with the
chief staple of his state.
Senators Jonas Edmunds, and others spoke
against the treaty, and Senator'S Coke, Miller
(of California;, and one or two more senators
made short speeches in support of it.

A Satisfactory Phase Of Recent Journal.
ism.

One feature of the present phase Of
journalism is especially satisfactory.
The newspapers are more free from
the influence Of the politicians than
ever before. Even the strong party
papers display a robust independence.
They criticise freely the measures and
leaders OF their own party. Indeed,
they are themselves the leaders Of the
organizations they support. The po-
litical chief in Congress is much more
Influenced by the opinions and wishes
of the editors in New York, Boston
and Chicago than the editors are by
hts. Except in the case of few OBJ
scure sheets that live upon municipal
patronage, the daily papers do not
care for the views of this or that party
"boss" or leading statesman, save as a
matter of news. Their opinions on
politics are their own. This independ.
ence Of the dictation and influence OF
professional politicians extends to the
weekly press, which has largely out
grown its old subservienccs 10 the
dispensers Of county patronage, and
become manly and self-relant.-E. V
Smalley, in The Manhattan for April
