he got off and went back 20 meet a wagon that was
following after and picking mp the coal. The tramp

scuppernong Wine and Vinegar

TIE Southern CuItiuator says: The fol-
lowing recipe for making scuppernong wine
has always given satisfaction. We have
made hundreds of gallons per annum with
out failure:
The grapes should be ripe as possible
Separate the green from the ripe and re-
serve the vinegar. Crush the ripe grapes
taking care not to mash the seeds. For this
work a good machine for the purpose Is
superior to any hand instrument. Let the
juice with the hulls and seeds stand in tubs
or other open vessels for twenty-four hours
before pressing it. if high colored vino
is preferred; otherwise press out the juice
Immediately. Add good granulated sugar
to the juice until, when all is dissolved, the
must will float a new-laid hen egg to show
a circle the size of dime. This will re-
quire from one-half to two pounds of sugar
to the gallon of must-according.
to the ripeness of grapes. Put the sweet
ened must into clean oaken barrels, filling
them full, and place in cool place to fer
ment. Cover the bung holes with small
bag of sand to keep out the air, and koep
the barrel full by daily adding juice from
a reserve for that purpose. After all fer
mentation has ceased bung up tightly and
let it stand until spring, when the w ne
should be drawn off into barrels by means
of a syphon, so as not to disturb the lees.
Before filing each barrel burn a strip of
cloth that has been dipped in melted sulphur,
in each barrel.
The wine is now ready for sale as new
wine. but it will be much better and more
saleable to wait until the second spring,
when it may be either drawn off in fresh
barrels or bottled for market.
After pressing the juice you may make
more wine from the pomace by adding more
sugar and water. The first flow will have
yielded about three gallons of juice to each
bushel of grapes Now add to the pomace
two gallons of water for every bushel of
original grapes, and sugar enough to float
the egg as before, and Torment as you did
the first flow. This is called gallizing and
the process adds very greatly to the guam
THY of wine, and it is slightly inferior to
the first.
For making vinegar from the wine use the
rejected grapes, or you may take good ripe
grapes and the pomace-adding water to the
latter as if for the wine-and molasses or
syrup enough to cause the egg to barely
float. Put in a barrel, not quite filling it,
and covering the barrel with a thin piece

THE MORNING NEWS ANNUAL REVIEW
-OF THE
PUBLICATIONS.
BUSINESS OF SAVANNAH
WILL BE ISSUED THURSDAY, SEPT. 6, 1883.

The usual complete and comprehensive expo
sition of the business of Savannah, known as
the Annual Trade Review, will be issued from the
office of the MORNING NEWS, on Thursday, Sept
8. This edition has been for many years one of
the features of the opening of the busy season
in this city and is looked forward TO by the bus
mess men of Savannah as one of the chief
means of calling the attention OF the public to
Savannah's business, and her prospects for the
coming year
The annual review will give not only the sta
tistots of cotton, naval stores rice, lumber and
wholesale business of the city, and its manu-
features and other industries, but it will con-
tain an interesting account Of what has been
done in the city during the past year, and tell
what its enterprising citizens have in hand for
the next The closing year has been very
prosperous one, but that upon which we are
entering promises to be even more prosperous
matter that is Of the greatest importance
and one that deserves especial notice, is that
Savannah is no longer place that strangers
fear to visit in the summer. In fact with our
accessible seaside resorts the city has become q
sanitarum for people who come to enjoy the
sea breezes.
And the coming year; what of itH Is it not
ALLIED to the brim" with the highest antcipa-
tons? There is to be magnificent hotel, the
finest in the south, a new county court house
and a new public building. There are to be
more railroads, more homes and more public
improvements
No year in the history Of Savannah has been
brighter than that which has just closed. The
city's growth in population and wealth. the
public improvements which have been and are
still being made, the erection of immense bust
ness houses, the Inauguration of new industries,
the extensions made by the two great railroads
which transport the products of Georgia and
adjoining states to our wharves all prove that
Savannah is not only growing, but a very
prosperous city.
The business men of Savannah cannot make
a better investment than by sending copies Of
the MORNING NEWS Annual Special Edition
to their friends and correspondents A
newspaper hho IniS Afuuo ItoNloW, COHtdln-
ing an accurate account of the business
of this city, is the best advertisement of the
energy and activity of the people Of Savannah.
Every citizen whether he is capital
list, merchant, manufacturer, mechanic, or a
man OF leisure, should feel a'pride in the city
The Trade Review will be sent to all sub
scribers of the DAILY and WEEKLY NEWS, and a
large number of extra copies will be mailed
thoroughly covering the territory tributary to
Savannah. Advertisers will find it OF great
value. Space in its columns be obtained
upon application to the Business Office.

POPULAR SoianOa.

A writer in Table Talk urges the dyspep-
tic to learn 10 eat olives as a means OF re-
pairing and lubricating the we k stomach, "a
means which ne declares to be more efficient
than all the pills and medicinal draughts
ever concocted.
An idea has been developed in Germany
in the shape of the manufacture of mortar
by machinery in large quantities to be de-
hvered to contractors o. individuals as re-
quired for use About 2,00O010 barrels
were disposed of in Berlin on this plan alone
last year.
A German is said to have perfected a pro-
cess whereby a softer quality of wood Is rem
dered equally as good as hgnum vitae, for
such purposes as stern bearings for propeller
shafts. He forces oil into the pores of the
soft wood, then subjects it to intense pres
sure, thereby solidifying it.
The length of pipe laid in Paris for the
distribution of power by compressed air al.
ready exceeds thirty miles. The COM
pressing engines are of 5000 horsepower,
and about 100000 cubic feet of air are
compressed daily to a pressure Of 50 pounds
per square inch, at an expenditure of fifty
tons of coal.
The steel car company is said to be con-
structing tire-proof steel Ger at Boston,
which viii contain nothing tlat can burn
except the upholstery, and even that is con-
structed of uninfaminable material. Not
only immunity from lire but an increase in
strength, decrease in the liability 10 teles-
cope and diminish dead weight are expected
TO be some of the good features Of the new
car.
Bymeans of recent improvements made
in manufacture of rifles. as many as 100
barrels can now be rolled in an hour by one
machine. They are Strengthened cold and
bored with corresponding speed, and even
the ritiing is done automatically, so that
one man tending six machines can turn out
sixty or seventy barrels per day. With the
old rifing machine twenty barrels were
about the limit of days work.
A California company is about to begin
the manufacture of soap from clay contain
ing soap properties, presumably similar in
character to the natural soap well which
has been discovered near Buffalo Gap. in
Dakota. The soap is SKINNED from a boil
ing spring, and hardens by exposure to the
air. 1t is like soft clay, and can be gath
cred with a shovel. 1t is supposed to be a
mixture of borax, alkah and lubricating
oil.
A construction detail that is gaining
much popularity in some western cities is
the bricking in of frame houses The build
ing is sized up with matched stuff, as If
complete, then brick face wall, four inches
thick, is laid in contact with the exterior,
tied on by spikes about every sixth course.
A boy distributes them all around on top
Of the wall. They are laid in the mortar
bed ready, and driven through into the sid
ing till the heads are flush with the face of
the wall, when the next courses are laid,
and SO on. The walls present the appear
ance of solid masonry, are durable, and, as
they add to the warmth of the buildings,
seem to present substantial recommenda-
lions, especially in severe climates.
