MAKING LEMONS SOUR.

How often does a lemon fail to live up to it's sour reputation? Until lately American lemons were more likely to thus fail than foreign ones, the reason of which was that American growers did not know how to cure lemons The fruit was never tart enough. There would be plenty of juice, but 1t con tained a high percentage Of sugar ana a small percentage of acid, which made it unmarketable. But a few years ago the lemon growers clubbed together and sent experts over to Italy ana Spain to learn the business, and now they are producing much better results. They pick the fruit before it begins to turn yellow, and put it in curing house where it is kept at an even tenn perature of about 50 degrees for about 20 days, which "sweats out all the su- gar. It is then removed to another tenn perature for 60 days more before 1t IS ready for the market. Thus the high est degree of acid and the largest de- gree of juice can be obtained. One or the curious effects of this "sweating" process is to reduce the thickness of the skin. It originally grows thick and tough, but the acid seems to eat 1t up Beverages.

MAKING CONVERTS IN INDIA.

MAhlNI GUN TyINI o LIN l4NCI<h.
 Our popular impression of the influ- ence, e. E., of Christian institutions and especially of Christian missions is, l am disposed to think, erroneous. Said a member of the Oxford Mission in Calcutta, with a fine courage for which one could not sufficiently honor him, We had been here three years before we made one convert; but he added, When one remembers what his departure from his old fellowships cost him, one need not wonder" Nor, in- deed can any one who understands what an absolute expulsion from all earlier ties, fellowships, and recogni- tons on the part of kindred or friends such a step involves. But on the oth
 CT hand, one who understands what has been going on all the time since England entered India will recognize that slowly but surely old traditions have been weakened and old lines of separation disappearing, so that step by step, the dawn of a better and brighter day Is drawing near. l should be violating personal condolences if I should furnish the evidence of this which came to me in private conversa- tion with Brahmans of high rank and

 It should not be forgotten that the Ievantine world has hitherto had vis- ion chiefly of the avoWedly unseltish side of American influence, through missionary and educational work, As a result it's conception of the American character is remarkably high.

The plan was to march the troops down
the river on the Louisiana side TO point
below Warrenton and have gunboats and
steamboats, pass the Vicksburg and War
renton batteries in the night time and
join the army at some suitable point for
crossing the river below Vicksburg. Two
days after Gen. Sherman returned from
Steeles Bayou, namely March 20.
1853, Gen. McClernand, by direction
Of Gen. Grant, started the four
divisions of the Thirteenth Army
Corps to New Carthage by way of
Richmond, with the view of cap
turing Grand Gulf. The Mississippi River
had been falling and the road near the
river could be used but the levee on Ba-
you Vidal was broken and two miles of
the road was impossible. Boats were
gathered together from the neighboring
bayous and by April 6 one division Of
McClcruand's Corps had reached New
Carthage by ferrying through the woods.
They arrived without a wagon or a tent.
IN the mean time Gen. McCiernand had
found a new and better road, by which
troops could Ire marched from Milliken's
Bend to Perkins plantation, - miles be-
low Carthage. This new route heightened
the march from 27 miles to 40 miles, and
by building four bridges, two of which
were 200 feet long, the line of march
was not difficult.
While McClcrnand was working his way
down the river, Admiral Porter was Sc
cretIy preparing a number of steamboats,
to run the rebel batteries. Every possible
prpcaution was taken to protect the boil
ers and engines on the steamboats, against
the shot and shell of the enemy's batteries
when the attempt was made to pass them.
The officers and crews of the steamboats,
were private citizens, not in the military
or naval service.
Gen. Grant had no desire to have these
men expose their lives by running the
batteries Volunteers were called for to
man these vessels; hundreds of experienced
men offered their services; the crews of all
except two of the boats were volunteers.
Captain Conway, of the Forest Queen,
and his crew, and Capt. Blake, with the
crew of his steamboat. insisted upon run
ming their boats. There never was a finer
e. hibition Of manly courage than these
men walking the decks of their vessels
while receiving the bombardment of the
rebel batteries.

was sadly disappointed at the failure Of
the fleet to get through to the YazOo above
HayneSS Bluff, and ordered US all to re-

accordingly steamed down and regained
our camps on the 27th."
Thus ended, on March 81. 1863. these
numerous unsuccessful efforts to get to
the rear of Eicksburg. The problem Of
capturing that stronghold and opening the
Mississippi River seemed as far from so
luton as it did on Dee. s, 1862, when Gen.
Grant, at Oxford Miss, issued his order to
Gen. Sherman to proceed to Memphis and
move upon and capture Nicksburg.
While Gen. Grant hoped that some
practical route would be found by these
efforts for the movement of his troops. he
entertained serious doubts that such
would he the case: he, therefore. had fully
thought out his final plan, 10 he adopted

important incident. The observations made
by me during the expedition satisfied me
that it was utterly impossible TO find a
route between Memphis and Vicksburg
across the great Yazoo Valley for the
passage of an army, either by land or
water.
A fifth expedition was undertaken by
way of Stece's Bayou, so as TO get into
