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. The Columbus JEngvirer has been rind jing up and learns that, the “harvest moon” is now in her wane.

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 whioh it is now designated in nearly every civilized part of the world, without ref erence to its relations to agricultural pur suits.

D. almost universal interest m»nift8te3’W£lia vanced thinkers of every claes, in the ob scure Muses of diseases that ifflist suffering 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. In some Btatieti'o] furnished relating to the manufacture of beer in Bohemia in 1S6J18S5 and 1870, we find tbe comparative modes or operation thus: 1-GO 1665 1870 High fermentation 231 81 18 Low fermentation 135 453 831 In ten years the number or high ferment j- fei!*iS^OT f * , }iiiw l riiim breweries rose from 1S5 to £31. “In' high' fermentation eight days are sufficient for tbo production of beer; in Uie lyn /ann.cnU.hQn fifteen or evident that the destructive ferments of disease are kept in obey - - uiBoare are Kept in ODey«n— >n j .u. j, r ._ eries enabled to put his beer open xuomiutit,. at his own couvenitmoe, and secure his cus tomers a pure and genuine article- In my next communication I prop see to consider the natnre of animal fermentation.
