y The Chinmey Corner contains the fol-
lowing article on this all important
subject: Happily, however, tickleness
Is not the exclusive characteristic OF
extreme youth nor Is love the only
pursuit in which mankind display their
Unsuitable mania for change. They
grow tired of not loving almost rs SOON
rs of the opposite, and continued lib
erty Is as irEsome rs continued free
dom. Women in general, that was to
our typical human specimen 80 charm
ing a toy, ere long becomes to him an
intolerable bore, and the society that
recently filled the vacuum Of existence,
now does but increase it. He has said
all his good things; his wit Is exhaust
ed; his vanity Is satiatedi his very
Incidence Is oppressed with fruitless
frivolity; his digestion has shown signs
of It's existence; he would not swear
that he has not felt twinge of the
gout, and he would swear that his at
tention has been called to two or three
hairs of inharmonious gray; and, fol-
lowing in the wake Of innumerable
ancestors, his now really manly bosom
yearns to be householder and hus-
band. He had evaded the taxes Of life
quite long enough, and 1t Is time he
should be put upon the matrimonial
register. Now is his time; now Is the
turn Of the tide Of which we spoke.
Woe to him II he allows 1t to pass. The
very minutes are precious. Once more,
lust as In youth, he actually wishes to
be married, and the wish throws him
into condition to be deladed. But this
reiuveneScence l. only partial, and ac-
cordingly-most luckily for him and
for everybody concerned-his deluslon


will be limited. 1t will be just enough
to permit Of his hncying somebody or
other rather divine, tempered by the
half suppressed suspicion that she will
turn out, after all, to be tolerably
human. In such u mixed mood, he Is
most likely to choose both wisely and
we'll. But let him choose quickly; for
his reiuvenescence, besides being par
tial, is likewise very transitory; and
should he wait till the wish to marry
deepens into desperate sort Of feel
ing that he fears he never will, and
that he does not know whom on earth
to. select, he will find that his heart
has forever fallen into the sere and
yellow leaf, and that marriage, If he
ever accomplish 1t, will at best be
makeshift. This, then, is the time for
marrying, when the curfew bell Is
tolling and announcing that the fires
of youth must be extinglished. The
passionate flame Of early manhood
burns too titfully and fierce for the
domestic hearth; it troubles more than
IL warns. But il is just ne it is expir-
ing, In obedience to 4 sovereign law,
and while yet 1t yields sufficient light
for discriminating choice, that selec-
tion should be made Of q companion
for the curtained evening Of life.
Waiting till 1t is completely out, a
man will have to choose in the dark.
Thus, even safety Is the wise mans
friend, and in nothing does 1t show Its
friendliness more than in this--that 1t
quits him the moment it has performed
lis celestial mission and linked him to
a wife. ~

How TO CAN FRuIT.-Last year / attempt
ed, too late, to tell the readers of the Journal
how to can fruit 1t may be as well, for
was intending to recommend particular jar
on theoretical grounds. / have since proved
it perfect success, yet have engaged slight
variation i'll its cover this year to avoid o
theoretical imperfecticn.


People can put on q false theory. 1t is
that of driving the air out of thejar by steam.
This can be done, and perhaps sometimes is,
but | think Of no circumstances in which |
would attempt it. The true way is, to fill
the jar absolutely full of boiling liquid, and
clap the cover on, leaving no particle of air
or steam under it. Now to particularize.


First. Take glass jar. It is unchange-
able, and is es good as new till it breaks
No fruit acts on it. You can see its contents.
You need not break it.


Second. Heat it till it will bear boiling
LIQUIDS. This may be done by pouring in
water that will not break it, and adding sue
cessive portions of boiling water, shaking it
after each.


Third. Dip in the substance to be canned
from boiling kettle, as deliberately as you
rlease, so that the top does not get cold
that boiling water will break it. Fill to
within half an inch of the very brim.


Fourth. Lay circle of stiff paper on sur
face.


Fifth Pour on quantity of boiling wa
ter, letting it run over the top, till the last
particle of foam is washed away. The paper
keeps the stream from washing away the sub
stance beneath.


Sixth. Pat on a hot glass cover, that will
project little into the mouth of the jar, with
a rubber ring between the top of the jar and
the shoulder of the cover, so that no air can
pass the cover.


Seventh. Put on clasp, or other con-
trivauce, to hold the cover and rubber firmly
against the top of the jar air tight. The I'D
touches the surface of the boiling water, and
there is n place for air or steam in the jar.
But as it cools, the surface of the liquid sinks
away from the cover. and it looks as if there
were air in. The more rapidly filled, the
greater will be the vacant space. The less
Of LIQUID in the contents, the less the space.


Eigth. Test the Jar when cold. Remove
the clasp or other contrivance without dis
turbinc the cover. If now yoa can remove
the cover with your fingers. the jar is not
sealed. If lar or cover be defective, sealing
NAV be impossible. If all be tight, replace
the clasp and rest secure.


OF course, with many patterns of Jar, these
directions can not be followed. Reject all
such Jars. A jar might fulfill all these con-
ditions, but be unsatisfactory and dificals TO
open, because air can not be conveniently let
| in by passing the point of knife between
the lar and the rubber. The covers of my
| Ililtons last year left minute bubble OF air
beneath them. 1t did no practical harm.
The manufacturers promised to make the un-
der surface of the cover little convex this
year.


see no reason why jars should not be as
good after q use of twenty years as at hrst.
They will keep quicklime, potash. spices.
varnishes-c certainly, if the mouth aud cover
can be kept clean. None of these need q

If there is any feeling that is strong
and universal in the bosom Of the Ger
man people it is feeling of hostility tc
France. For sixty years this feeling has
been nurtered in them. 1t is stronger
even than the attachment of any Ger
man to his own particular division Of
Germany. Is it likely, then, that peo-
pie of forty millions, animated by one
common sentiment of hostility to the
French, can be broken down by the eff.
fects of any brief course of hostilities ?
Will any defeat make them willing to own
that the French are better than they are,
end to resign to the French Emperor
those Rhine provinces which have so
long been an object of ambition on the
cne side and of defense on the other?


On the other hand, can a single disas-
ter subdue the French? Suppose they
are beaten in great battle, and that the
road to Paris is opened to their. victo-
rious enemy. Win that break down their
spirit? Will that bring them to such
unanimous concessions and such general
humiliation as will satisfy their victo-
rious antagonist? Will not, rather, the
whole French people rise as one man to
expel the invader, and to retrieve the
calamity? No doubt series of misfor-
tunes in the field might extend and in
tensify that opposition to the Bonaparte
dynasty which turks in the mind of most
Frenchmen. If the French armies are
worsted, the tenure of Louis Napoleon
upon power might indeed be broken by a
revolution; but this would not Of neces-
sity terminate the war; on the contrary,
the Republican Government which would
succeed, finding the nation in arms
against an ancient enemy, would be apt
to take up again the revolutionary cry,
which has repeatedly proved SO potent in
the affairs of Europe, and march to con-
quer the frontiers of the Rhine with rev.
olution as its principal weapon.


That all Europe will become involved
in this war is most probable. Already
we hear that Russia has declared upon
the side of Prussia. Italy and Spain can
scarcely fail soon to cast the weight of
their swords in the same scale. Austria,
England, Belgium, and Holland may be
obliged to take the part OF France. But
at any rate, the confagration promises
to become universal, and to continue
until the parties to it are thoroughly ex-
hausted

But he took my hand and holds my heart
With alovers tender power
And bow, as needs / must, and say,
In proud humility.

DEADwooD, September 18th, 1870.


EDITOR HERALD We are regular SUBJ
scribeIs to your valuable paper, and look
with pleasure upon its arrival. An occasional
copy Of that other concern finds its way here,
also, the last copy of which contained an
article on Deadwood, Eldorado Canyon, and
Last Chance, in which it is said, " At Dead
wood there is little else than deadness.
Morton still keeps the store and Furguson

seems to be lost i'll fog Of wanderment as
to where their patronage comes from. If all
Tie hotel and store customers were like this
editor we would certainly have to close busi-
ness, but fortunately for Deadwood, there
are men here who have good claims, and can
afford to, and do keep up business by pur-
chasing what they need and paying for what
they get. Allow me to say there is no store
this side of Auburn that does better bus
mess than Morton's, and the Ferguson Hotel
does equally well.


1twas an apparent oversight in the Stripes
quill driver to pass our Public School unno-
ticed and speak of that at Last Chance.
True, neither place ought to brag much in
that line the Last Chance school containing
seven scholars and ours five, (attending
school, we mean,) but the Deadwood school
is kept up at all seasons of the year. We
have an excellent teacher, Miss c., who
not only possesses the love and confidence
of her scholars, but that of the festive
bachelors, also. In conclusion allow me TO
say Deadwood still lives and prospers.

The Savannah Republican editor,
that old Wing champion Colonel
Sneed, has some sensible remarks
about the hesitancy of any one
adopting the name Democrat to
express opposition to the Radi-
cal party. He says very pointedly
that in 1879, when the great ma
tional struggle shall come of, all
local parties must, for the time
being, at least become merged in
one or the other of the great ma
tional organizations, according as
they may assimlate in sentiment
and policy. He says that while
the national Democratic party
may not 60 as far as some people
in the South would desire, it is
very certain that it holds no prin-
ciples and sets forth no policy
that every conservative man in the
nation may not consistently sub
scribe to. They advocate not one
measure that the old Wing ever
opposed, at any time in the his
tory of their organization, and
certainly, sensible men and patri-
ots win not allow themselves to
be thrown into the opposition by
d mere name. Democrats are as
much to-day the champions of old
Whig and State Rights principles
as the Wings ever were, and hence
no partition wall should exist be-
tween them. The issues that for
merly divided the two parties have
long ceased to exist, and while
the Democratic party has preserv-
ed its name and organization
through all vicissitudes, it, to-day,
is the representative Of no prinCi-
pie or policy on which the two
parties would not have stood to-
gether twenty years ago. 1t is
now fighting the friends of con
solidation and the enemies of free
government-the only party that
is fighting them-and all patriots,
North and South, and, We will
add, white and black, should rally

On the score Of policy, he has a

that the Democratic party viii not
