Cigars in form are either pressed or cyl.
lndrlcai. As regards their manufacture the
method is the same for both, excepting that
the pressed cigars undergo one more pro-
cess than the latter. In order to give them
their shape, either triangular or fiat as may
be desired, the cigars after having been
completed by the workmen are dampened.
They are then packed in bundles and wrap
ped in strong paper. This forces the cigars
closely together, so that when they are ta-
ken apart they are found to have taken the
shape into which they have been pressed.


The cuttings of the manufactory are gen
orally sold to be used as filters for cheap, or,
as they are termed, ''seed and Havana" ci-
gars, using native tobacco for wrappers
The stems Of this tobacco are not used.


A German friend Of ours recently became
impressed with the idea that he could
make cigars as well as the operatives. As
his method of manufacture was somewhat
unique, we'mention it. First, he provided.
himself with some leaf tobacco next he
obtained pot Of paste he set to work
spreading the leaves out before him he
carefully smeared them with paste, and
after many trials and much vexation of
spirit he succeeded in rolling them up into
some sort of bundles. The cigars were
made, but the proof was the smoking; he
lit one, the taste Of the paste gave it fla
vor not perccptible in the best regalias, but
that was a tritlo he tried to draw on it,
but here he failed. This was an unfortu-
nate defect, but a knitting needle could
cure it, 50 carefully Poking the latter into
the cigar, he made a hole through its whole
length. We believe that only few cigars
were the production of the mandatory
but whether any of them found their way
into the market and 50 fell into the hands
Of same unlucky individual we have yet to
learn.

/As before stated by us, the murderers / of the Loring party were Apaches, despite the falsehoods of Captain O'Beirne, 2lst Infantry, and those of other Apache allies of less note. The Prescott Miner of last Saturday gives the bloody history of General Crooks attempt to arrest the murderers at Date Creek and also his preceding work, which we will copy next week.

 Our space this morning will only per ! init us to say that General Crook from the first believed and soon after had the evi- dence that Apaches did the horrid deed that he has been ever since making efforts to secure their arrest; that when he in person tried to do so on the Date Creek Reserve about two weeks ago, the Gov vernment fed Apaches resisted, resulting in the severe wounding of soldier, mar row escape of the General from a we'll aimed Indian gun, and the killing of some seven Apaches, and the arrest of few.

Every farmer should manufacture his

from any liquid which contains sugar.
Nearly All the vinegar manufactured and
sold by the large manufacturers, is made

taken into the stomach, in a similar manner

made from the sap of the rock maple or
white birch. A friend residing in Aroos-

vinegar used in his neishborhood is made
in similar process to vinegar from the
sap OF the white birch. The following is
an extract from the Boston journal of Chem
iStrY, showing the ingredients of 1.-THE poi
NonouS stuff we are using when we purchase
the article from these manufacturers sold
under the name of vinegar:


Much sour liquid is sold called vinegar,
which Is made from sulpheric acid, or oil OF

until its taste is regarded as desirable, and
then ii is c0lored with burnt sugar. to make
it resemble true cider vinegar This is a
fraud Of a serious nature, and hundreds of
nnsnSpecting consumers are greatly injured
in health by its use. We have found in
vinegar oXalic acid which is 4 fatal poison
when used to any considerable extent This
acid is now so cheap that its employment
in fictitious vinegarS is common. In view of
the alarming Sophistications and substi titu-
tIons connected with the vinegar trade, we
think the legislative bodies of the several
States should pass stringent laws regard
inc the offence, and appoint inspectors,

The combination which has been formed in
the interest of certain railroad capitalists to
control the shipments of petroleum to Eastern
markets, directly concerns the commerce of
this city. AS was shown in the statistics on
the subject, which we published yesterday,
nearly tw0-thrds of this great productive
fourth in rank among our expOrts-is shipped
from New-YOrk. The Southern Improvement
Company, the successor of the Continental I'm
provement Company, is possessed of charter of
practically unlimited powers, which should never
have been conferred upon any corporation by
any Legislature Under the thin guise of as
sisting in the development of oil refining in
Pittsburgh and Cleveland, this corporation has
simply laid its hand upon the throat of the
oil traffic with demand to stand and de-
"lvcrn All the railroads leading out Of the
oil country are in its interest, and have raised
their freight upon oil. summarily moro than
81 per barrel, dividing the spoils pro rata
between them. The oil re6neries that buy
into tho Southern Improvement Company. and
they alone, get drawback of 81 upon these
rates.


1t will be seen by the record Of yes
tcrdays proceedings that the latter are
the only terms upon which this cOrpora-
ton will make terms with the rciiners
in this city. If they yield, the small owners
and rciiners throughout the country will be
ruined while the big ones go into tho ring,
and the processes by which the rich become
richer and the poor poorer will be brief and
decisive. Throughout the oil region the result
is regarded with the profoundest anxiety. Ten
thousand small fortunes trcmble upon this
decision.


In Pennsylvania, the favorite device for
meeting the monopoly is a combination of oil
producers to withhold oil fiOm the railroads
on the one hand and q direct road or a pipe
TO Buffalo, on the other. But, To be available,
these must both be adopted. Let the pro-
dnccrs withhold their oil never sO long,
it must 90 forward at last; and if
none but existing roads are there,
they will take it after all. 70 build new
road or even pipe to Buffalo capable OF
carrying all the oil product, would take four
months all the oil producers combined could
not afford to hold back their product moro
than sixty days. And worse than all, judging
from past experience, they fear that their
road. IL assisted by railroad capitalists they
