TO MAKE SCUPFXKNONO WINE. Precisely tho same priuciplcs arc involvod in making wine from the scuppernoDg that are iu making it frqin all other grapes.? And whoevor hrs Hussmau's or lteineliu's work on wine making will find tho directions therein as entirely applicable to the scuppcrnong as thoy are to, the other American grapes of which they more especially treat. But I write for thoso who are not caring to learn the rational of the process ana who are not possessed of saCoharomcters, ncidimeters, and other requisites for octcntijic wine making. First. Bo sure to use perfectly ripe grapes, if possible to avoid those that arc not. This however, is not very casy-to do, as the scuppernong docs uot by any means ripen its crop, all at once. And cveu tho most careful hands will gather more or less of partially ripe grapes while trying to gather only the fully ripe ones; while careless hands will gather a large proportion of green fruit if not closely wutched. Secoud. The next process is mashing the ivrnnnu (ivltiolt i*i Koof flnm* in n twill hfivinrr t-1"h -" v ?; ?n wooden or stone rollers set 3 of an inch ajvirt,) and expressing the juice which must be doue in a wooden press as the oxygeniZatlOn Or a nieiulle mill ui ptcsa iajpaiTO the flavor of the wine. ^ Tim juice (or must) may be pressed ontimhie'dlately afief ifiashiug, or this operation can be deferred from 12 to 2-t hours, ("the must and husks being kept in a covered vessel) till fermentation has begun. Leaving the must on the husks, fur awhile, gives the wine a higher color and more aroma (or bouquet.) Third. Writers 011 the grape, nt the North (where the scuppernong doesn't grow) speak disparagingly of it as a wine grape, because it is usual to add sugar to its must iu making wine. They deprecate any "doctoring" (as they call it) of tho pure must and say that a grape that will not make wine without any additions to its must is unfit for the purpose. Now let uio assure i the uninitiated that this is all "bosh."? Evon with the best varieties of the vitis vine/arra and in the uiost favored wine districts of Europe additions are made to the grape must and the wine improved thereby. Aud as for our native American grapes tho must of all of them, except perhaps ?tho Delaware, needs "doctoring" and is doctored more than the scuppernong. I believe that from scuppomougs, all of which are d/:ad rspe, a better wine can bo made without "doctoring," than can be made without it from &By other American grape, not of the scuppernong family, unless it be the Delaware. But as there is most certain to be more or less ot green or but partly ripe scuppernongs gathered with the others, from one to two pounds of good white sugar should be added to each gallon of its must. Most other native grapes have an excess of acid, of tannin, aud of [fixities*" requiring not only sugar, but water to bo added in 9rder to neutralise them. Not so with the perfectly ripe scuppernong, and even the , nnripc needs only a slight addition of sugar. Fourth. The must is now poured into clear casks^ etc., till they are full and the long end of a ciphon inserted tightly in the bung hole of each cask, etc., with its shorter end emptying into a dish of water. This allows tho escape of gass from tho vessel while preventing the Ingress of air during fermentation. Tho casks, etc., should bo in a situation of which the temperature will be as low and cquablo as may be?a cellar of course to be preferred?though it is a mistake to suppose a cellar an absoluto prerequisite to making very good wine. "Fifth. After active fermentation is over, say iu about a month, it will be found that the vessels lack considerable of being fullj when the contents of one of the smaller ones (it is better to have them of graduated sizos) should be used for refilling the others and the must be kept quite full all the time and the bungs tight. Sixth. Some cold clear day in February tho wine should be racked off, i. o., the clear wine drawn off from the settlings or l,lccs" into other clean casks, etc., which must also oc made an.d. lyyjt unite f^j'jlU'jv tight. It may ntuT wftff improve with ago for a y<k^^pUU^(And jn { a good cellar for sovcral yjjKrs.) ' The utmost cleanliness should bo obsorved in all the manipulations of wine making, and it should bo conducted wbero thoro are no bad odors prevalent, as wine is almost as susceptible as milk to oxtraucous influences. The scuppernong is naturally a sparkling or clinmpngno wino; requires no rock-candying or trcatuicot with carbouic acid gass as the catawba and others do when bottled.? JJottlo good scuppernong of almost any age and cork and wire tight, in a month or two it will bo highly effervescent when opened. ?S. J. Matthews, in our Jfomc Journal. One Ahead of Redmond.?Cincinnati, July JO.?A special from Springfield, Mo., states that a number of deputy marshals from Missouri and Arkansas camo upon Turn Malliucc, a noted moonshiner in Tany County, Mo., on Saturday, an he was lying upon the floor of his cabin playing with his child. Malliuee ran out of the back door, and, finding two marshals stationed there, he fired upon them, but without effect.? The firo was returned, woundiug Mallinee in the arm. lie then ran towards a sugar cano patch. One of tbo marshals fired, dropping him, but he immediately arose, and secreting himself among the thick stalks, escaped. Mallinee is the head of illicit distillers in that part of the country. Thoir operations are so systematized as to be almost impregnable to the marshals.? He mads all the persons purchasing whiskey from him take an oath to sfcind by him to tho last against the officers. The result is overy citizen within an extended radius not only refuses to beoorae a witness ngnint him, but will not afford food or accommodations to tho marshals. THE ABUSE OF FA1V. The littlo nerves of fecliog which rut through all pmts of the human body carrj to the brain intelligence of disasUir and o! pleasure. The evil messages they bring *r< callcd*paius. A pain admonishes us thai some injury is done to a part of the bod] ?a finger jammed, a toe out, an arm burner ?or that some part is overworked or i wearied out, and in oat have rest. Th< nerves but do their duty, when they repor faithfully theso things, and our duty is fc do the best we ean to repair the mischij which caused the nerves to report in th< way of pain. But many persons are an noyed by these evil messages, and only seel to silence the messenger. The immediat call is for something to "still the pain."? Fortunately, the means employed are some times such as correct the evil at once, am so put an end to the trouble reported b; tho nerves. Especially is this the cas wheu cool water is applied to cuts and burn ?tho relief and the enre begin and go 01 simultaneously. The same result is usual! attained when hot water applications (o fomentations) are made to bruises am sharp pains of various kinds. Pain, whicl results from overdoing of any kind, is mot reasonably "stilled" by rest?general ret of whole body, and especial test of th overworked part. Anything that tends t equalize the circulation of tho blood, or t make all parts of the body comfortabl warm, ami no warmer. hclDS to set th ' ? # r . nerves at rest, or to stop pain and dis-eam Not long ago I saw a man who was suffei ing with a violent hoadachc (a ncuralgi general toothache) furiously kicking, fin with one foot, and then with the othei working to get the blood from his head 1 his heels, because he had found that th most effectual way to euro his headacho.Cool applications to the head, and hot out about the feet aud legs might serve th same purpose. Xorphinc Drii.Icing.?But I set out t speak of a habit which prevails to an alarn ing extent among women?the use of moi phinc, OTquiet pain cf one kind or anothei I can easily imagine that the habit ma grow from ignorance of danger. A fearfi pain is lulled by seemingly simple means an opiate in the shopo of morphine. Th suffering ono rests easy, and pitying fricnc may believe that morphine was just th thing needed. But has the opiate cure the disease which caused the pain? Not bit of it. It has only beaten down an silcoced the faithful monitor, tho nerve which, in the shape of pain, told of injur and begged that help be given to the ii jured part. It is true that Nature, and n< medicine, performs the euro, and that th blessed work of restoration to health usual! goes on best during sleep, but it should t nnturnl alopn Thi? will ucimllv < itself if you put tho body into suitab coudition?the pores of the skin open, b bathing or rubbing judiciously, the.bowc properly relieved by simple food, easy ot digesuon, the iu*j supplied with pure nir, and eleanliness an quiet all about the pationt. But when yo give or take the dose of morphine, yo make a deadly attack upon the norvous sy tcui, and leave the evil oondition of thin< in the body to go on. The dose must 8<o be repeated, aud as the habit of resortin to an anodyno strengthens, the dose rnu gradually increase, in order to produce tb desired effect. Such a course finally breal down the uervoua system, and leaves tb one who resorts to it a hopeless wreck?tb worst kind of a drunkard. Mothers, it is believed that thoso wb are most likely to become the victims < morphine arc women who, as children, W91 lulled with sooihing-syrup (and let it alwaj be remembered that this syrup derives ii "soothing" powor from the morphine it coi tains,) or dosed with paregoric or the moi potent laudanum. They never learn ( bear pain heroioally. They grow up incline to self-indulgence, and if hard work an sickness overtakes them, they fall an cap prey to morphine.

Mr Jones wasn't going to have any of tb Smith family put on airs over her, and thei blue fence was soon trimmed with gold-let stripes. Smith trumped over by putting gilt ball on every barb; and Jones, who last heard from, was painting weather vanet gilt horses, peacocks and lightning rod tip all over his fence, and swearing he'd bet the Smith faniilv if he had to nut a eunol and ? bay window at every post, and han a chroino every two feet along the line We should all pay more attention to tfc deooration of our homes.?Keokuk Conte tutum. ...

Ask the old Woman.?A gentlemau > traveling out West, rcla'c.s the following: r Riding horseback, just at night through f the tfoods in Sigtior county, Mich., I came > into a clearing, in the middle of which t stood a log house, its owner sitting in the f open door, smoking his pipe. Stopping I my hove before him the following convtri nation ensued: > "Can I get ? glass of milk of you to f drink b 'Well *1 ddn^ know.' Askthe old woman. By talis time his wife was standing by ( Ma side, e I'.OWyee," she said, "of course you can." - *While drinking it I asked i- yTDo you think we are going to have a i storm ?" Y "Well, I really don't know. Ask the 0 old woman?she can tell." s "I guess we shall get one right away," Q said tho'wife." y Again I asked : r "How much land have you got cleared 1 here 1" h ''Well, I really don't know. Ask the it old voman:?she knows." it "About nineteen acres," she replied. then a troop of children came runo mug apd shotting around the corner of the o ahahty. ?. y "All these your children ?" said I. e- "Don't knew. Ask the old woman?she j. knows." r- I did not wait to hear her reply, but drew b up the reins aud left immediately. ,fc Compo8tinu Dead Animals.?The ' best method of utilizing the carcasses of dead animals is to put them in a compost ^.heap of stsblouiauuro or muck, cither ~ : whole or-cut in pieces.
