Semz-wzbklt Republican: Oa Monday
morning last Miss Mary Jane Snellgrove,
a young lady residing with her aged
mother in the 17th dts’riot oE Sumter
county, committed snioide by taking
strychnine. There is no reason assigned
for the rash act, only that “she had so
muoh trouble.” Several weeks previous
sb o had att-.nded a protraoted meeting of
Free Will Baptists—joined tbe church
and was baptized; from that time to her
tragic death ehe was seemingly troubled
with her surrounding?, and took stiyohe
nine under the impression that it would
have the same influence as morphine, and
that she would go to sleep and quietly
pass into tbe presenoe of the Maker. We
have been handed an obitusry no.ioa of
the sad occurrence, whioh will be read
with interest.
Chronicle and Constitutionalist: We
have just heard of a very pretty inoident
connected with Hon. A. H. Stephens’
Western tour. As he was leaving Louis
ville, and jnat before Mr. Stephens
boarded the train, a pleasant little eoene
occurred in the waiting room where he
Mr. Thomas Russell, a jeweler,
approached him £bd presented him with
a nnique watch and cnain, saying: “Mr.
Stephens, I never expeoted to have the
good fortune of meeting you again, and
was overjoyed at yonr presence in this
oity. And now accept this small present
not because of its intrinsic value, for that
is small, but as a token of the esteem m
in which I shall ever hold you.” Mr.
Stephens thanked him cotdially for the
gift, and said he would keep it in recol
lection of his old friend. Mr. Bassell
was for many years an Intimate acquain
tance of Mr. Stephens, in Augusts, and
speaks of him with great ievsrenoe as a
kind-hearted friend and a generous and
noble gentleman. The watch-ohsin was
made of coffee beans, richly polished with
handsome mountings, and a sea bean
oharm, with a minute compass imbedded
in it.

moon” is now in her wane. It u the fall
moon occurring nearest the antnmnal
equinox, tbe peculiarity of which is that
it rises for several days nearly at sunset,
about the same time instead of fifty odd
minutes later each succession, as usual.
As this phenomenon occnrs at a period
when the farmers in England are busy
with a certain portion of harvest duties,
and very opportunely supplies them with
tight sufficient to work after sunset, the
moon at this stage reeeived in that coun
try the name of the “Harvest Moon,” by

humanity throughout tho world, ife my apol
ogy for offering a few thonghtR jn fl!nr,a.-
tiou of some of tbe principles involved in
this important eut-jeot.
For more than two thousand years, man
groped in the darkneee of metaphysical spec
ulations, aud ignored bis powers of obser
vation and reason, in making deductions
from faots derived from intelligent experi
mentation. Dr. Tyndal says, * one of tne
most remarkable characteristics of tbe ago
in wh'ch we live Is its desire and tendency to
conceit itself organically with preceding
ages—to ascertain now tne state of things
that now is come to be what it is.” In pre-
historic line 1 , onr fathers practiced methods
whereby they were enabled to gratify the
almoit instinctive desire of the human
race for aomeform of fermented liquors.
Herodotus described best as the “wine of
barley.'* Noah indulged too freely in drink
ing the fetmsnted jaice of the grape, and
disgraced himself. The distinguished aajes
of the olden time understood tne cond tions
of suooeee, but>ere unable to comprehend
the reasons for obtaining certain desired re
sults. They watched the operations of Na
ture with the natural eye, but their mental
vision was over-olonded by the veil of m;s«
ticUm.
We will commence the investigation of
onr enbjeotby tracing the different prooess
of Vegetable Fermentation. One of the first
forms cf fermentation known to the an
cients was that of beer. Now let us watch
the operations of the brewer in the manu
facture of tbe most popular beverage of
tbe present day. The grain most common
ly employed is barley, whioh U first steeped
in warm water, drained, and then allowed to
remain in a heap until it ia sprouted. "It is
then called malt. The malt is thoroughly
kiln-dried, ground, mashed up in warm
water, and then boiled with hops nntil the
soluble portion is extracted. Tne decoction
' i then called wort. The wort, If confined in
vessel to whioh free aooosa of atmospher-
io air ia allowed, will undergo a certain de
gree of fermentative ohange, bat the brewer
knows from repeated observation that to se
cure oertain results, a ferment must be ad
ded. He therefore mixes a certain amount
of yeast with his wort,;pours it off into kegs
or barrels of suitable capacity, leaves open
a hole for tbe admission of sir, and awaits
the result. Very soon a rapid commotion is
observed in the oontenta of the vessel, an
immense quantity of yellowish froth Issues
from the bung hole, flows out, and is oolleo
ted and placed in barrels or casks
An analogous process is observed in the
baking of bread. A little leaven ism : xed
with the dough, placed into pans, and soon
the loaf sesames proportions foar or fire
times as great as that which was placed into
tbe bakiDg pans. Now, how are these won-
derfal changes accomplished in ths vast in
crease of yeast produced In the two above
mentioned prooeaa?
Leibig ascribed this phenomenon to chem
ise] action lnduoed in tbs ferment, they task
But modern scientific investigations under
the eye of ths microseopiat reveals the exis
tence of vital organio growth and develop
ments, throngh the agenoy of an infinitesi
mal infusorial plant, tenia oevivesae, which
is prepigated by elongated celts, each a liv
ing unit, that germinates, eanda down its fil
aments, and accomplishes its cycle or organio
development and msturat on in the produc
tion ot fiawets and aeeds precisely as other
plants whioh are vieibte to the natural eye,
and mnltiply in infiniterimsl numbers.
In the operations of the wine maker anal
ogous pbj aiolog cal phenomena are observed
The vintner picke his grapes, discarding those
that are immature and imperfect, and af
ter subjecting them to mechanical r Mature
suffleien’ to break them without onnhing the
seeds, alter “racking” off the dead liquor, it
ia poured into tight casks, theta to re wain
until it nndergoe] a oeriain degree of fer
mentation- Here we observe that the physi
ological change is aim Jar to that which
transpires in the process of miking beer, la
the production of carbolic acid sue aloehol.
The brewer adds yeast to his infusion of
barley, in order to iodoos and perpetnato the
fermentative process while tbo vintner mere
ly crushes bis gripes tu order to secure the
clear juioo, which, when left to itself, does
its own work. Ths world renowned Frenoh
chemlet, Pasteur, by an ingenious experi
ment extracted the pure j oice from the grape
withent cruehit g the external covering, con
fined it in pore motless air, and it under
went no fermeatati veehange, but remained
entirely pure. How then is ths wine maker
enabled to.seotzre the desired fermentation
without the introduction of yeaat or some
fermentable substance into hia mus ? By
careful inrpection ot tbe eteme and skins of
tbe grapes a fine dust is observed to cover
them, which, when brushed into water, ren
ders it turbid. This dost oontaina the germs
or eporee of the identical plant, wbich is
'generated in yeast, and in a similar manner
produces vinous fermentation. Without tbe
presenoe of this dnat tbe fermentation of
grape juice woutd be exceedingly uncertain,
even when subjected to tbe action of atmoa-
pheriosir. For although tho gems cf thj
tom’s plant are found floating in tbe air, yet
it ia accompanied by germs of various otbtr
plants, and it is very uncertain which would
prevail. When the gardner wishes to raise a
certain species of vegetable,' he is careful
not only to thoroughly prepare the eoJ, but
ho takes special pains to free his planting
seed from all other seeds that may have ac
cidentally mixed with them. Bo tbe brewer
sows bis yeaet seed, and the vintner mashes
bis grapes, not only that be may obtain the
juice, but by incoaporating tbe dust with it,
ne sowe tbe torula seed whereby he may se
cure tbe requisite degree of fermentation for
tbe production of wine.
Tbe wiue-mrker not unfrequentiy ficjJ
that, by tbe too free and protracted admis
sion of atmoepherio air to his must, the
wine pseeet from the alcoholic to the etsge
of actions fermentation. What was the
sparkling exhilarating beverage has now be-
oome sour and unfit for nee except as a
condiment. Whence comes this marvelous
change in the molecular combinations of
h a ! qai ? The eoeds of another little plant
myooderma aceti, bas been sown by the at
mospbere; it has pissed ihrougb its cycle of
gemination, development, an t maturation,
and a complete metamorphosis of its cbem
icil elements has boen prodaoed. Now.
still further exposo this vinegar to the action
ot tbe a'.r, and soon a thin psllicle forms
npon its surface, a green mould is substitu
ted for ths dear liquid, and the whole has
passed into rottenness. Tho seed of slid
another plant, pennialiems glaneums, has
taken possession of the doomed liquor, and
the work of destruction bas been compiote;
for tho work of chemical combustion pro
gressively goes on, its carbonic acid and hy
drogen pastes eff intoaths air, and nothing
but the ash clement .remains. Seeing that
the atmosphere is at all times loaded with
the ferments of disease, as well as thoaa
raiments wbich the msuafactnrer is anxious
to preserve intact, by what process is ho en
abled to rid his liq lor of those obnoxious
intrude:*? The vitneo bottles off his wine
and hermetically seals tbe stoppers, acd thus
effectually exoludee the air. Tho fermenta
tion however, etiil progresses, and a certain
amount ot ox; gen is absolutely nec-?4sary
for this process. Tbe toru'a plant oannot
live Without oxygen. It ingeniously goes to
work and decomposes tho sugar tnat ia
foned in the wine, and appropriates the oxy
gen; oarbonio acid Is evolved and gives
“body” to the wine, and the fermentation
croceeds nntil the food of tho toinlaisex-
lausted. The brewer’s wott is often in
vaded by tbe destructive changes noticed in
the vinoUB fermentation. Hence in ancient
times our fathers were greatly annoyed by
the nocertainty that attended their brewing
operations. It is now asoertsiutd tba! cold
benums and heat destroys these ferments
of disease at a lower temperature than is
required for the destruction of the healthy
ferments. The brewer must either raise the
heat of his liquor to destroy the former fer
ments, or he mmt resort to low fermenta
tion. This is accomplished under lcs. and
the corbonio acid instead of rising to tbe
top of the vessel gravitates or is driven to
the bottom.
Low fermentation is being pretty general
ly practiced at least in European countries.
In this prooess a vast quantity of ice is em
ployed, and the beer is kept in cool cellars to
await transportation at the convenience of
the shipper. InDreberof Vienna XCO.COO,-
000 pounds of ice are annnaby consumed.

We were a delighted spectator, too, of
her first agricultural exposition, and
doubt not that the display this year will

Our Sunday telegrams report that the

ritt’s reinforcements, while tbiy relieved
the situation to ft considerable extent,
have not entirely done so. The Utes are
making stout resistance to the tr ops,
reaching the agency, and continue to
fortify their well selected and favorable
position. The savages have taken ad
vantage of the natural fortifications of
tbeir position, and have used what art
they haTS learned from the whites
in the way of defense, until they
seem to have made it well nigh
impregnable. To effect a dislodgement
will require additional troops and eight
companies have been sent forward to the
scene of notion. Horses to remount,
men whose animals have been killed,
hava also been sent forward; but of
what avail this will be, and how long the
men can remain mounted is problemati
cal as from their elevated position, the
braves seem to delight in killing the
horses especially, as they are generally
exposed while their masters seek protec.
tion in the rifle pits. The Indians at

nation, bat are not likely to fnaintain
tbeir advantage fer any great length of

understand how ha could manage 75,000
acres of land, nor how he could raise wheat
at 35 cents a bushel. Mr. Dalrymple ex
plains hia processes minutely. He showed
how easy it was to divide it into lots of 5,000
acres each, and hold a superintendent res
ponsible for tbe wotk dons on that division.
It was not d fficult to harvest the rropa when
there were, ae this year, 115 elef binding
reapers, • employed, nor to thresh it When
twenty-one steam threshers, averaging 1,090
busheie a day. were need. The diaouasion
on freights vis the lakes was terminated
with this remark from Mr. Dalrymple: T
could sell wheat in New York for 75 cents
per bushel and not lose anything.’ It was
figured by one of tbe party that wheat from
this farm could be sold in Liverpool at 96
cents.
John G. Whittier will read • poem sA
the unveiling of the emancipation statne
in Boston. What a caterwauling in
rhyme will astound the world on that oo~
eai-ioi.1 How tbe “man sr>d brothel”
will be apostropbiztd, eulogized and glo
rified! How erstwhile Southern slave
holders will “get fits," sod be anathema
tised with even more than poetio license!
What an anvil ohorae in praise of Sam
bo’s liberators in general and Abe Lin
coln in partioulsi! Well, all wa can s J
is “let 'er rip!”
Mr. Wad ley’s Condition I resident
Wsdley continues to improve, though it
has beoume evident that several splin
tered pieces ef bone must work to the
surface aod be extracted before the frac
tured limb can heal. He is free from
fever and quite cheerful and patient. The
only annoyance experienced is the mev-
itablo indigestion which is the result ot
confinement to bed. Few men were more
aotive than Mr. Wadley, and this com
pulsory retirement to naturally irksome
and at varianoa with the whole eoonomy
ot his system.
For so old ft man he is doing wonder
fully well, and it is thought wUi recover
rapidly, and sustain no permanent inju
ry from his recent accident.
If some enterprising fellow would now
corner the market on Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup he could make hia fortune for
there are thousands who would pay
double) tho retail prioo rather than bo
without this valuable remedy.
