An English jury having been locked up eight days, the Judge, when dis charging them, complimented and thanked them for the great care, atten tion and patience which they had given to the case. The only recompense he had power to make was the assurance that ho would take care that they were not called upon to serve again "for some long time to come." Tiie following is a "local" from a paper at Deland, Florida: "While one of our young ladies was out walking the other day, sho espied a younjr fox-squirrel run up a tree, and not willing to lose a chance for a good pot-pic,' started for the house, but not having any big brother to help her, she shouldered the gun, started for the squirrel, and soon had him at her feet struggling for his last breath. We believe this is the same young lady who went a fishing and was upput by a large turtle, but, not to be beaten, succeeded in capturing him and thirteen of the finy tribe, and on the way home chopped the head of a snake off with her No. 1 gaiter." Mn. DeHaas, ex-Consul at Jerusalem, has set at rest a multitude of recent contradictory statements about the Holy Land in tho following series of pointed denials: " There is not a railroad in all Palestine. There is not an American missionary in the Holy Land, nor a Sun day School. But one Protestant Church in Jerusalem, another outside of the walls and one at Jfazareth, Tho Jewish population haslncrcased during tho last few years, but the population of the country has more rapidly decreased.

The Jews of Europe and America will never return to Palestine unless forced back at the point of the bayonet." The Countess Panine, lady-in-waiting to the Empress of Russia, has been re quested to resign and to travel abroad. She is of a romantic turn, and some times received guests of whose character she was not fully aware. Among these was a young student who, warned that the police were about to search his rooms, fled to her house with his pa pers, and, being pursued to her room, hid the .papers under, her- pillow. Tho police discovered' them and arrested him. That the Nihilists, however, have friends in high quarters is shown, not only by the cipher documents found on Dcutsch, killed in the secret press affair, but by letters and papers found on a Russian doctor and refugee at PariB, who either threw himself or was thrown flit o the' Seine. These documents were sewed in his trousers lining -and were handed over to the Russian embassy, who forwarded them to the St. Peters burg detectives. A few months ago several peasants were tried at Novgorod, Russia, for burning alive a woman, upon the pre text that she had bewitched their cattle and cast spells upon their children. These ruffians were acquitted on the "ground that they had acted conscien tiously and in accordance with the Scriptural ordinance, " Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live!" Tho tribunal of Ustjush has recently, however, taken' a somewhat more enlightened view of a witchcraft case brought before it. One Ivan Alexcieff and six women of his village prosecuted a' peasant's wife named Charlamoff for having, as they alleged upon oath, injured their health by the practice of sorcery. To their surprise and discomfiture the Court ac quitted Charlamoff and denounced the prosecutors severely, sentencing the women to four .month's imprisonment apiece, and Alexcieff to fifty blows with a rod. Painful Pictures frem Ireland. 1 " -r Let me give you a sample of what I saw in many scores of "huts, and in a few that are thatched and of stone and sand on the edge of a bog, which affords them peat for fuel. They contain three small rooms. One is the room where the household lives. Through a small hole in its roof the kitchen smoke is forced to escape. There is almost a peat famine this year on account of tho wet weather. The only fuel consists of a bunch of green twigs. Another room is for the cow if they are happy enough to possess one, which is very rarely the case. The cow is part of the family, and always goes through the front -door. In the third room, which is probably eight or nine feet square, the family sleep. They have one bed, with two thin, worn-out blankets, and hero four of a household of nine must sleep, not lengthwise but crosswise, covering them selves as best they can.

AnXmlmtm Vwr Dm1h Craek A canyon in the mountains, near the prosperous raining town of Douglas Creek, in Wyoming Territory. Grand and picturesque the peak nses up on either side, towering far up toward the ckmds, which hang in groups oi gowen beauty overhead. The crystal water of the creek, from which the town took its name, danced merrily over its rocky bed, its plishings blending in rippling melody with the soughing of the breeze through theloftypines. Scattered here and there over a grassy put were a number of determined looking men, dressed in the garb of mountaineers, conversing in low, earnest tones, as though their attention was engrossed, by some matter of more than ordinary im port. A little apart from the rest, closely guarded by two brawny mount aineers stood n. youth apparently not over eighteen years of age, with features of remarkable beauty and form of the most perfect mold. Near him, coiled on the grass, lay a rope, in one end of which a noose had been artistically formed. There could be no mistaking the scene Judge Lynch was about to hold a court. The youth had arrived in tho camp but three days before on the stage from Laramie City, and bad registered at the hotel as Harry Forrest. He told the Inquisitive landlord (all Western land lords are inquisitive) that he was the son of a wealthy merchant in the " States," and was on a tour of pleasure and ebservation in the mountains. He circulated freely among the rough ele ment, which is a marked feature of every mining camp, and on account of the unusnal beauty of his faco was dub bod "Handsome Harry" by the denizens of the town. Douglas Creek, like every other min ing town, was infested with a largo number of the " sporting fraternity," otherwise known as professional gam blers. Among these was a fine-looking well-dressed man named George Wat son. He had turned up in the camp about three months previous to the. date of which I write, with plenty of money, which ho spent with a lavish hand. His open-banded generosity had made him a favorite with all, and his skill in manimilating the cards could be attested by every one who had faced him at the gambling table. It was soon observed that "Handsome Harry " was closely watching Watson's every movement, and several friends called the gambler's attention to the fact. To each one he replied that there was a familiar look on the youth's faco an expression that ho had seen be fore, though when or where he had seen it his memory failed to di vulge. "I don't know what the boy is watching mo for," he would say, yet a feeling of uneasiness which he could not hide would manifest itself, and it was noticed that since Harry's ad vent in the mines ho began to drink heavilv. On the morning of the day on which this story opens Watson became intoxi cated, and while sitting in the El Dorado saloon began to joke good-naturedly with the inmates. A young miner had just finished tho reading of a letter which he had taken from the post-office, and while returning it to a dainty white envelope Watson said : A letter from your sweetheart back in the States, eh, Tommy! I'll bet any man in the house ten to one that I've called the turn." " That's ju3t what you've done, Wat," replied the miner. ' It's from my girl in Michigan, and a prettier or better girl don't live. H I ever strike pay rock in this claim of mine I'll scoot back there quick and give some preacher a chancoto make a few dollars." " Clear gone on her, I see, Tommy! Well, I've laeen there myself. I had a sweetness once, and I feed a gospel sharp for a two-minutes' speech, but the felicity of the game didn't stick six months. Oh! but she was a daisy, though, a high-toned beauty, but I never cared a curse for her. You see her old man had just bushels of shekels stored away, and the man's a previous fool that won't tacklo matrimony when it's buried in a mine of ready coined gold. The old bloke didn't seem to cotton at all to his son-in-law, so when I got a grab at the pot I jumped the came and car ried the swag with me. The old roost er's dead and roasting in Hades, I reckon, and I suppose the high-strung daughter done as most disappointed fe males do supped a dose of cold poison, or joined the big army of females of easy virtue that every city! " The sharp crack of a revolver echoed through the room, and Watson fell quivering in death, shot through the head,, while Handsome Harry's voice rang out: "Die! you thrice accursed villain, die! and remember Edna!" " The gal's brother, for any amount o'dust!" cried a gambler, as tho crowd rushed up toward the youth. He was atonce disarmed and secured, a meeting called on the spot, and, by unanimous approval, a lynch court announced for 2 o'clock at tne usual place, about five hundred yards down the canon. m At the appointed hour tho crowd, with their prisoner in charge, repaired to the spot. Watson had been speedily buried, and Harry had persistenly re fused to offer any explanation of the cause of the murder than to say: " He deserved it all, the villain! Hang me as soon as you choose." " I make a move that Tobo Allen be elected Jedge o' this ere court," cried one of the assembly, and the motion was unanimously carried. Allen, & tall, sun browned mountaineer, with a face al most covered with huge black whiskers, stepped forward and seated himself upon a rock. He was dressed in the habiliments of a hunter, nearly every garment being partly or in whole formed of buckskin, and a brace of formidable looking revolvers of the ColLpattern ornamented his belt. He called for order and said: " I app'int Doc - Woods, Lengthy Johnson and Arkansaw as officers o' the court, it 'ii oe tneir amy to preserve order, an1 if the kid's foun' guilty to ex ecute the sentence o1 the court. The rest o the crowd '11 act as the jury, an' I want every one o1 you to buckle down an' take in every word o1 the witnesses' music an1 give the lad every chance you kin fur durn me if I don't kinder -like his looks. Let yer verdic' be a just 'un, accordin' to the facts an1 evidence." Tho officers designated took their post at the side of the prisoner, and the mass jury silently gathered around the scat of justice. "Nobby Dyer!" 'The person addressed, a flashily at tired young man, wearing a grand dis play of preast-nin and watch-chain; stepped to the .front. Said the Judged .Nobby, do you sw'ar that ye'll grre us a square story on this blluv business, an ladle out nuthin1 but solid facts, so help you God El fes, Jedge.1' " Turn 'er loose, then!"

I set the toddv up to Billy, an' when I seed that Wat had got his medicine dead sure, I hopped over the bar an' tuk the pop away from the kid an' asked him what'n thunder he wanted to raise a row in the house fur? He didn't say any thin1 'ccpt somethin' about the villain, meanin' the deceased, ade servin' all he'd got, an' 1 couldn't get no more out o' him.

" No, Jedge; he jist the same as ac knowledged it." " You are sure that Han 'some Harry fired the shot that croaked George Wat son?" " Perfec'ly sure, Jedge." " That's all, then." A number of witnesses were called, and all corroborated tho barkeeper's story. When the evidence was all heard the Judge turned to the accused and said: " Harry, hev ye any witnesses fur yer defense?" "I have none, sir, but the Almighty!" " Well, I don't suppose He'd pay any 'tention to a supeny from this court. Ye've heard the evidence, 'an yo mus' see that it hits ye purty straight.

If you want ter testify in yer own behalf now's yer time to sing yer song! Hev yo any thing to perduce?" Harry stepped forward and faced the stern looking crowd. With a clear and fearless eye he glanced over the assem bly a moment, and then began to speak in a voice in which not a tremor could be detected : " Gentlemen, 1 stand before you as a convicted murderer, fori can read my fate in your cold, determined faces. I have read enough, about how such cases arc disposed of in this wild country to know that in a few moments I will hang suspended from a limb of one of those trees! I was fully conscious of this when I fired the shot that blotted a monster from the face of the earth! Before you carry your sentence into ex ecution I will tell my story, and then when I am dead some of you may per haps feel a littlo sympathy for Harry, as you call me. Do not for a moment think that I talk to consumo time and delay the execution, for I truthfully as sure you that I do not fear the death which awaits me. " In one of tho most beautiful cities in tho State of Ohio lived a wealthy, inoffensive old man named Forrester. That man, now in his grave, was my beloved father! He had a daughter, Edna, upon whom he doted, and she was, indeed, tho light and comfort of bis old age. reople called her amiable and beautiful, and, as might be expect- ed, thero were numerous suitors for herl hand and the fortune which awaited her upon her father's death. .Among these suitors was a young man named Fred Marston, the son ofa wealthy merchant of the samo city, and upon him Edna bestowed the purest love of "her inno cent heart. The young man was some what wild and a little inclined to dissi fmtion, and on that account father vio ently opposed tho union. Marston promised to reform, and Edna, poor girl, trusted implicitly in him, and they were secretly married without her father's consent. When the news was. broken to the old man the shock so un nerved him that ha was taken to his bed by an attack of nervous prostration The newly wedded couple took up their abode in the parental mansion, Edna Eositively refusing to leave her father in is illness. Faithfully she watched by his bedside, ministering to his every want with tender, loving hands, and praying earnestly that he might recover and bestow upon herself and husband the blessing which she so coveted. " Marston proved a kind and loving husband for a brief period, and then again fell into his dissolute habits, fre quently maltreating his wife in a. cruel manner. The life of the young bride, which she had so fondly dreamed would be one continued gleam of sunshine, be came overcast with the dark clouds of sorrow. " One morning Marston was missing from his bed when Edna awoke, and a letter left upon his pillow informed her that he had decided to forever leave her and seek a home in the far West. Al most crazed with grief she flew to ner father's chamber for consolation from his dear lips, but when she entered the door what a horrible sight met ner affrighted gaze ! ' ' Here, for the first time, the speaker broke completely down, and covering his face with his hands began to sob violently. The crowd was listening with breathless attention, bending for ward toward the yputhjw if fearing to lose a word of the story. " Brace up, lad ; brace up !" said the Judge, wiping his eyes, in ta suspicious -manner. " rase ail tne time ve want, an' reel, us off the hull business." The youth rallied, and in, a choking voice, his eyes suffused with tears, re sumed: , , - " Oh, gentlemen! "there upon his bed, weltering in blood, lay her father; her idob'zed old father, dead, with a .knife which she had seen, in her husband's possession, sticking in his breast! She screamed for help and then swooned away, and a brain fever held ner a raving maniac for eight long weeks!

The crowd bad long oexore aecwca that matter, and "not guilty" came forth in chorus, and then the deafening cheers made the old canyon ring again and again. Edna was escorted back to the camp and placed in charge of the landlord's wife, who soon clothed her in the proper habiliments of her sex. As usual, over any great excitement, whisky flowed freely, and the health of the lady was drunk again and again by tho excited crowd . One enthusiastic individual was loud in his suggestions that Stanton should be dug up and hanged with the rope prepared for " Handsome Harry," " for," ho asserted, " if ever a man de served hanein' he does!" The lady disappeared as quietly as "Harry Forrest" bad appeared, and was never afterwards heard of in the mines. Tobo Allen went East a short time ago, but as he has not yet returned, wo will not credit the silly rumors that are afloat that "Handsome Harry" knows what took the worthy Judge so far from home. "Wyoming At," in Detroit Free Press. m m A Moving Plant. There may be seen at tho house of Mr. E. J. Loomis of tho Nautical Al manac office a curiosity and a mystery in plant life which is attracting the study of some eminent botanists. The gentleman, himself an excellent botan ists, dug up a gla-ts dish full of a com mon fern (Aspleniuni arichomanos), while visiting tho White Sulphur Springs in Virginia last autumn, and carried the plants home to ornament a chamber. What was his astonishment to observe after his return that several fronds of the ferns maintained a steady movement through from twenty to forty degrees, similar to that made by the crooking of a finger or tho swinging of a pendulum. This movement continu ing, he became more and moro inter ested, searched for information among books and botanists, and finding no ex- flanation, wrote to Prof. Asa Gray of larvard College for a solution of this mystery. This eminent authority not only had none to offer, but expressed tho greatest desire to study personally so extraordinary a phenomenon, and while in Wasington recently in connec tion with the annual meeting of the re gents of the Smithsonian Institution, he passed much tinio in the close scientific study of the ferns, and mentions the facts in tho March number of tho Botan ical Gazette. The fronds have preserved their curious movement all winter, showing greater energy in the sunlight than when under tho influence of gas jots, but nevertheless maintaining a steady swaying movement. Tho little fernery is exciting attention in scientific circles quite out of proportion to its tiny area,being constantly visited by persons well known for tho highest scholarly at tainments. Perhaps, from my account, it seems no more wonderful than the game of Fifteen ; but once within its in fluence, it holds the visitor as resistless ly as dees that facinating puzzle or as did she glittering eye of the Ancient Mariner. Washington Cor.'N. Y. Even ing Post. Thawing Out a Frozen Alligator. - Allisrators which have been brought from the mild climate of Florida to the more risrorous climate of the North gcu crally die soon, no matter how good care is given them. A remarkable ex ception to this rule is an alligator now in the possession of a young physician of this city. This one was captured six years ago in Florida and has lived ever since without growing moro than an inch and a half. It is now something less than three feet in length. Many times during its captivity it has gone without food for two or tlireo months without apparant harm. When fed it ate voraciously small fish and pieces of raw beef. One verv cold nfeht last 1 month the alligator was left as usual in a basement room. When tho doctor wcqt down to tho room tho following morning he was very indignant at find ing that a window nad been left open allnight, and as tho fire had gono ent, tho water in which his alliga tor lay. was frozen. The ani mal was "as stiff as a poker," to use his own words, and to all ap pearances dead." The doctor placed it in warm water, and afterward nibbed it w)th alcohol. The creature was then wrapped in a cloth and left by tho stove and after .an hour or two a further at tempt at resuscitation was made. The mouth was forced open and liquor in small quantities poured down. The rubbing and chafing were resumed, and in three hours and a half from the dis covery of the alligator's condition the doctor was rewarded by noticing that its heart again was in action. In a few hours more the alligator had entirely recovered. .y.

The substance belongs the daM known as the thistles or sulphur sulphides. Nearly a year ago Mr. J. Bcrger Spence discovered that sulphides of Etetak combined with saolten sulphur fanned a liquid. This liquid on cooling became a solid hoBaogeaeous mass, possessing great tenacity, and having a peculiarly dark gray, alssost black color. It has a comparatively low melting point, viz: 330 degrees Fanr., or rather saore than 100 degrees above the temperature of bofliBg water. It would thus require oalv a small amount of fuel to reduce or to melt it. The new compouad also expands on cooling- a property not shared by the majority of other metals or metallic compounds. For such pur poses as joining gas or water pipes this expansion is of great importance. It is also claimed that the new compound re- justs favorably atmospheric or climatic iafiuences, as compareu with bronze or marble, and that its resistance to acids is much superior to that of other roctah or metallic compounds. These qualities if tnistained by further experience, would certainly render the new compound very useful in many ways. .V. Y. Tribune. About Microscopes. One of the first questions asked by a person who looks at a microscope is, " What is its power?" and others ask, "What is tho highest power ever reached?" Of sim ple microscopes, or hand-glasses, as they may be termed, one sent to the Koyal Society of England, by I)i Tarre, of Naples, was said to magnify t!,5C0 diameters. It was lent to Maker for trial, but he could mako nothing of it, and statcajiis sight was seriously injured bv trying iu umj u. v tin i-unipuunu mi croscopes the highest power over reached is 100,000 diameters. This was obtained about ten years ago bv Dr. Dickinson, of New York City. Under such a power a single blood corpuscle would be over thirty-six inches in diam eter, or the size of a small cart-wheel. A human hair thus magnified would rival the giant trees of California, for it would be over lorty feet in diameter. A fly would appear as a monster three quarters of a mile long, and a claw of a honey-bee would stretch across tho widest street and clasp tho houses on both sides. Of course, in such a case the whole fly could not bo seen under the microscope, as a small part of one of the facets of its compound eyo would fill the whole field, so that the " fly" would not appear at all. This power was obtained by artificial means, and all sharp definition was lost ; thus for real work of any practical uso uch a power when obtained is worthless. The highest recorded magnifying power of scientific value was that obtained by Dr. Lionel Beale, who obtained 10,000 diameters with a one-eightieth objective. Ho uses a long tube in preference to high eye pieces, and no amplifier. Ingenious Rat TitArs. Yankee ge nius has invented an innumerable va riety of traps for catching vermin, and though no one seems to be permanently successful, they do a good service. A rat that has once lost his foot in a trap is sure not to put his foot in it again, and he somehow seems to have the fac ulty of communicating to his fellows its dangerous character. A steel-trap is verv likely to catch two or three rats, and then not secure another customer for a month ; but tho very presence of a trap, when Its mission is understood by the vermin, seems to drive them away. They like to live where freedom reigns, freedom to rove and pilfer without re straint, such as they find in city sewers. A very simple contrivance, which we have used with great success, is to fill a barrel a third or half full of water, and then cover the surface of the water thor oughly with oats If a board is placed making an inclined place from the floor to the top of the barrel, and a few oats sprinkled on it, the rats will be sure to find their way up this plane and leap into the barrel. With his fur soaked with water, a rat can not escape to tell the story to his companions, and they follow on to tho same wa tery grave. A modification of, and, perhaps, an improvement upon this trap wo havo recently noticed recommended. This is, to tie a thick paper as a head to the barrel, and on this place some oats, or, better still, crumbs of cheese renewing the bait every day for two or three days till the rats have become habituated to this dinintr-table: then cut a counloof slits crosswise in the paper just long enough- to let a rat through easily when he comes to his next dinner. The trouble with this and all such traps is that the vermin soon comprehend the strategy, and act on the principle of the business man who said: "Ha rogue cheats me once, he is to blame ; if he cheats me twice, I am to blame." Bats are too cunning to be caught twice with the samo chaff. A neighbor overrun with rats once tried this mode of getting rid of them, which proved very successful Catching one of the largest, he stupe fied him with chloroform, and then, tying a little bell around his neck, let him run. The vermin left his premises with a perfect stampede, but his neigh bors found a sudden increase of depre dators in their houses. We can not recommend this method, for though it is effectual for the applier, it is a little roueh on neighbors. N. Y. Times. The Hewllng Dervishes ef Censtanti neple. Leaving St. Sophia and the other mosques, we descended to Galata, and embarked on one of the ferryboats from the bridge. In fifteen minutes we landed on the opposite shore of the Bosphoms, in Scutari, and for the first time set our foot upon Asiatic soQ. We found Scu tari like Stamboul and Galata. The (same Turks, Greeks, Armenians, crowd ing each other along the wretched, ili paved, crooked and dirty streets, and the same kinds of wares and fruit being cried for sale along the walk of the dirty little shops. The air was soft and balmy as June, but we found the walk a fatiguing one from the landing up the steep hill to the convent of the bowling dervishes.

Col. W. 11. Harris, in Ksaminer and Chronicle. Hente, Sweet Heme No man need wail that ho was not born in itonie other country. All land have their attraction, and every home, however humble, has associated with it some pleasant recollection. The thatched Mono cottage of old England or Ireland is ever a picturniqutt object to the American eve; aud if it does not contain all tho modern comforts of the smart American house. It i. doubtless, jujt as dear to those who were born be neath its roof. One fifth of the Ameri can people are said to live in cities. Thoy are town birds acquainted with smoky caves and tasting nature in the parks. Most of them come from tho country, and when spring time comes, with its tender foliage, tranquil skies, soft breezes, birds and flowers, they must often turn to tho woods and fieldi with longing heart- and aching bosom. Wo meet in the crowded streets, the ill ventilated theater or tho billiard draw-ing-room, a thorough-worn faco. The time was, if an English lad, when ho may havo been leaning agaln-H a cottage lintel iu small corduroys, and hungrily eating a bit of brown bread and bacon. Perhaps ho wishes he had a chance to do so again. Another man, no longer young, while wiping his brow and walk ing tho hot pavements, thinks of the fair rounded hill, the blooming orchards, the merry river's bank, tho field flow ers, and tho meadow's tall and cool grasses in his Now England home. It Is the summer time of life with him now; the burden of the day is upon him, and business cares give him littlo time for dreaming. The many anxieties of mod ern American life crush out much that is sweet and beautiful, leaving room, let us hope, for tho good and wbo in thought and action. Perhaps no country has ho many homes owned by tho pcoplo who occupy them as our own. This fact is a picco of good fortune to free America and its institutions; it solves many problems which vex the Governments of Europe, and which In time will chango their form. Man is a domestic animal, ho wishes for a spot of earth which he can call his own, and which, with tho proper amount of labor, will yield him a support. Until he reaches this state ho is but a straw in the wind, tho child of ficklo fortune, the creatureof every trivial circumstance. To have a home is to bo indcpendent.coura geous, manly. With it comes a train of other blessings home influences for tho family, a quiet haven for rest in tho storm and stress of life, a castle for pro tection, a place to be made beautiful, the center of art, music, poetry and all tho human affections, a place that should bo a foretaste of and preparation for that Heavenly bliss, to which wo all as pire. Philadelphia Record. Extraordinary Persccntlen ef a Clergy, man Tho Ilov. Dr. Morgan Dix has rccontly been the victim of a scries of malicious hoaxes evidently devised by some ncrson who imasrincs himself to have a grievance, or by some one who loves nialice for its own sake. Last month tne proprietors oi miiwum uiauuiwmi ing establishments in St. Louis, Chi cago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Louisville, Milwaukee, St. Paul and elsowherc began to receive postal cards Eurporting to come from the Bcv. Dr. lix asking for samples. Other letters purporting to bo written by Dr. Dix were sent to schools asking for particu lars as to the cost of tuition, etc. Let ters were sent to distinguished clergy men asking why they had not answered letters from Dr. Dix, letters of course which had never been written, and the owners of bookstores received letters asking for estimates, circulars, etc. It is said the cowardly author of these silly and cruel hoaxes even went so far as to invite clergymen to dine in Dr. Dix's house, and on one occasion noti fied a number of second-hand clothes dealers that Mrs. Dix's wardrobe would be sold at a certain time. All these and a number of other de vices of a similar nature have been tho cause of Tcry great annoyance to Dr. Dix and his friends, and have neccssa- rily given rise to many aanoyiag mis ...knnslnna n?Prtirrei ha.ru been at work, but have thus far faded to dis cover the guilty person, Dr. Dix being unable to give tbe slightest clew to tos identity.

A large barrel, or a vat from six to twelve feet high, U provided with a fle bottom tea to twelve laehe above the true bottom, perforated with numerous holes; or this fake bottom may conUt simply of lathes kW cross wise 90 as to make a gridiron-like net work sufficiently c!oc to hold the shav ings or chips to bo pot oa It. About an Inch below this fake bottom six holnt, .say about an Inch In diameter, nrtjboml through the skies of the barrel, the auger being directed nnward, so that the holes shall be higher Inside than outside. A wooden faucet Is inserted near tho bottom of the barrel, a shallow tub, which need not bo more than a foot deep, is let Into the top of the bar rel so as to fit M tightly as possible within tho rim ; tho bottom of the tub k pierced wkh holes two er three Inches apart and as large as a goosequU, In each one of which Is put a short string, knit from alinntnr throutrh bv a knot U its upper end, and long enough to as- icnu an men or iwo msvunu nw um surface of the bottom. Into the mlddk of the bottom of the tub a wooden tube five or six Inches across aad long enough to extend somewhat above the rim of the tub, U to be fitted. Finally provide a closely fitting cover to the tab through which thk tube shall pass, and tarough which also U an opeMBg for pyuriag ia the liquid to bo acetified. Fill the barrel above the fake bottom, and up to within a few inches of the bottom of tho tub when In place, with beech-wood shavings or fine chiiM, which have been previously thoroughly scalded, wwhed and dried, pour over them warm, strong vinegar, close the barrel and allow the whok to stand twenty-four hours. Then put the tab in it place and pour into it the strong cider, either in small portions at a time, or in a very slow stream. Tho twine will swell up and nearly cloe,the holes in the bottom of the tub and the liquid will trickle through and down over the shavings very slowly; It may he drawn off from the lower part of the barrel from timo to time as it accumulates there. Air enters at the lower holes in the sides of the barrel, passes up through the shavings, meeting the cur rent of liquid as it comes down, and passes out through the wooden chimney at tho top. An abundance of oxidizing material k thus provided; the oxida tion proceeds so rapidly as to cause a considerable elevation of temperature within tho barrel, which ia iu turn hastens the process. It k best to draw off only a portion of the vinegar at a time in the lower part of tho barrel, so as to leave enough to keep all the space above completely saturated with the fames. The Mewld must bo passed through the barrel from two to four times, according to its rich ness In alcohol and the coolness of the season or the room in which the barrel U placed. Under favorabk circum stances cider may be- converted into vinegar in from twelve te sixteen hours in such an apparatas as thk. Con structed as described, nothing k re quired that k not within the reach ef most farmers, and although the process is one that k followed ia the manufac ture of vinegar on a large scale, we see no good reason why it might not be ap- Siiedaswelloaasmallscak. The ad ition to the cider of a thousandth part of it bulk of good yeast, or dilating It about half wkh water, may semetimes five a better result then wevJd be obtained wkh pare strong cider. .V. Y.
