CONNECTICUT CIDER. A. TREMENDQUS CROP OF APPLES TO MA.KE IT THIS YEAR. Borne of the Famous Cider Drinkers of the Good Old Days Before Beer Came Into Vogue—Nathan Wells’ Short Supply. From the New York Sun. Norwich, Nov. 5. —Connecticut is trying to stow away oue of the biggest apple crops it ever raised, and the prosiectof unlimited applejack, orchard tea (as cider is called in the country towns), and apple sauce next winter is a very rosy one. There are too many apples. Hundreds of bushels of choice fruit have been fed to stock and thousands more have been left to rot under the trees. Barrels are just about as valu able empty as they are with apples in them. Fine fruit is sold at 20c. a bushel or 50c. a barrel. The supply of barrels has been ex hausted, and the farmers are grinding the crop into cider. All the teams in the State are not equal to the task of carting the apples to the mills, although an endless pro cession of apple carts jogs over the hills along the country roads all day and until late at night, while the mills have orders for grind > mg for weeks ahead. Most of the mills are of the old-fashioned ’kind, like a coffee-grinder, entirely of wood. The apples are poured through a hopper upon wooden crushers, that revolve just as slowly as a slow country horse, attached to a crooked, weather-beaten beam that turns its apparatus, can walk around in a circle without falling down through loss of mo mentum, By long and bitter experience a • •ldor-mill Jiorse has learned that he never gets anywhere by walking around a cider mill, and becomes an expert at conservation of motion; therefore the cider producing capacity of Connecticut is greatly handicapped. Near the mill is the press, an equally old-fashioned structure. On a low wooden platform the “cheese,” composed of alternate layexs of straw, and the pumice from the I'lUi, is built up in a nicely cut cube, and two iron screws des • cend from the eroax beam In the single frame that rises above the platform and press out the juice which runs along shal low channels exit in the piatfoim, into a tub beneath. Cider making is slow work by this process, which is the same that was in vogue in the colonial times, but Connecti cut farmers prefer it to any other. An old-fashioned cider "mill is *he centi'e ©f a gay and breezy scene at this season, and The farther back among the hills the mill’is the cheerier is the scene and, the more mai’vellous are the stories told of past cider-drinking periods. In an orchard dotted with heaps of red and yellow apples not far from this city a couple of old-time fanners were discussing near a cider mill the other day the smart men who drank cider fifty or sixty years ago “Folks don’t drink cider as they used to when I was a boy,” said one, “ an’ in my 'pinion it's all the wuss for ’em. They hev took ter swillin’ beer now a-days, an’ it’s bout as bad as so much pizen. It warps ther kidneys, an’ they die o’ Bright’s disease or some other cur’us disease, an’ if they don’t do that they get full an’ fight, an’ git locked up by the police. Forty year ago every body drank rider, an’ drank it all ther time, an’ yer never heer-d of any o’ them sing’lar diseases an’ suddin deaths. It wuz a blamed poor farmer in them days that didn’t put up from fifteen ter thirty borr’l a year, an’ afore the next year swung round ther warn’t none on it left, nuther. It all went down slick’s yer please, an’ ther warn't nobody drunk. Some drank more’n others, of ootii’se. There alius will be such; but no-, body was hurt as I know of. “There was Nathan Wells, of Salem; he alius put up sixty or seventy barr’l, an’ only himself ter drink it. But one year he laid down only forty barr’l, an’ Tong in hayin’ time he got out o’ eider. Just at ther very wurst time, ye see. But he went right inter the field like a man, an’ he says fair and squar ter his hired man: ‘Bill, I ain’t got a drink o' cider in ther cellar. I’m clean out. So ye’ll have to make out on runt. I only put down forty barr’l lost fall, but ye’ll never catch me in such a scrape again. This year I’ll put down somecider.’ Perhaps Nathan carried the thing l'ather tew fur, but it never hurt him, as I said. He came of a cider-drinking family, ye understan’. He had one sister that cud drink as much ciaer as Nathan cud, an’ she cud lift as much as one of the boys. The hull on ’em was a family o’ giants, an’ this sister I speak of, it was a common thing for her to take up a forty gallon barr’l full o’ cider an’ drink outer the bung. These boys an’ girls all lived to good old age. But I’d like ter see ther beer drinker that ever lived out his days, or cud take tip a beer cask an’git a swaller outer ther bung. Did ye ever hear o’ one? No, sir. Their blood all turns ter water, but cider makes good blood. “A ruther big cider drinker was Albert Rood o’ Colobester. In hayin’ time he wanted just an even barr’l o’ eider a week to keep him good-natered an’ well-iled, and then he cud cut the biggest swath in the gang—just seven foot at a clip, five feet o’ scythe an’ two foot o’ swath. He was a ruther powerful matt —pieh a cask o’ cider right inter a cart an’ lug it down cellar; an’ he didn’t need no help. I rec’lcct well his packin’ a hull sack of rock salt from New London to Colchester, ’bout eighteen miles, an’ it didn’t weigh a pound less than 300. Tbet’s the kind o’ men they used ter raise on hard cider an’ fried pork. But they don’t raise none of ’em to-day on beer.” The Connecticut farmer has long main tained a famous reputation for hard cider drinking, aud, notwithstanding the forego ing lament at the decadence or the habit, there are not a few old farmers in the back country towns who stow away as many barrels of the amber-colored fluid each fail as did Nathan Wells. They drink the greater part of it, too. John Slain, of Led vard, for instance, has just put down forty barrels of it in his cellar, tiud ho said to the writer a few days ago: “Drink it? Of '■ourse I’ll drink it. Perhaps I may make a barrel or two into vinegar, but the best Part of it, you can bet, will get pretty well acquainted with me and the neighbors that drop in before next fall at this time.” Rocky, bushy North Ston ington is another hard cider drinking town, and at this season the centre of the cellar in every farmhouse is enfiladed by butteries of "working” ban-els of cider. Everybody who chances to stop at a North Btoningtou farmer’s home, if the occasion be only to in quire the way along the devious road, is in vited at once to “step ’round tew the other side of the house, stranger, and try a pitcher of cider, won’t ye?” A North Ntonington dweller never asks a rnuit to tako anything less than a pitcher of cider; drinking cider out of a glass is considered to U a trifling action. In the strict pi-olilbition period, a few years ago, when cider was under tho ban, that town caused the prosecuting officer more trouble t han all the rest of the county. The North Ktonington fanners fought the law with the dogged resolution of their ancestors who wei-e be hind the rail fence at Bunker Hill; it was a daring officer who penetrated into that re gion to an-est a violator, and a liquor spy on similar business bent was likely to re turn from that town wearing a tar and feather duster over his other apparel. It is emong the North Stonington hills that the appellation “Orchard tea” is still popularly ’’Tplied to cider, and it is an open question ■whether the name originated in the fancy of the ancient genius of that town or of Fairfield or Litchfield county. It puzzles the Connecticut farmers to ae fTl'int fox- the excessive yield of apples this season, as IRB7 is an “off year,” the “even years” being the apple-producing yeai-s. A •Tirioug explanation is given by one agrieul fiual observer, who maintains that triesea ton of 1881, in which there was frost in each month, fairly reversed the old rule. Frosts m May and June in that year killed most of the fruit buds or young apples, and the bar ,- ti trees made tip for failure of the crop ' bat season by hearing next vear. On some Lees the frost kiljed only half the buds, and those trees now bear half a crop each year. The Scientist is unable to say whether the Connecticut apple trees will ever work back into the old order of bearing. SHE CAN EVERLASTINGLY KICK. The Hight Art of a Moclest Member of a Company Entertaining Chicago. F\om the Chicago Tribune. This is the story of a little girl. Her name is Sara. She is a modest, unassum ing, slender, blonde-haired, blue-eved little thing, the daughter of a country curate in England, a prim, ascetic gentleman of high church tendencies. Her father had a big family, and when Sara was very little she thought she would like to go to London ami earn her own living. She went to London, and pretty soon her father heard that Sara had gone play acting. The good xnan was horrified, and after vainly trying to wean her back to the paths of rectitude and the position of a nursery governess at £lO a year, solemnly excommunicated her. By and by he heard that Sara was earning £SO a week as a high kicker in the Royal Alham bra in London., His heart yearned for his erring daughter, mid Sara was once xnox-e reconciled with her family. All this happened many years ago—not very many, but just as many as Sara would like to have told in cold print—and since then Sara has earned her bread by the height of her kick. Sara is the highest fe male kicker on earth, and she doesn’t care who knows it. She kicked herself $250 a week for ten years. She can kick two feet higher than her head. She can kick a hole in the top of the scenery on any stage in town. She kicked a staid assem bly of German matrons at the Cri terion matinee yesterday afternoon into temporary delirium. Those pious peo ple in Boston said she kicked so high that she kicked a hole in the Ten Commandments every time, and when Sara saw that in the papers, she at once kicked for a higher sal ary'. But it wasn’t true, for Sara is a modest kicker. She is not a suggestive kick er; she Is a gymnast. She is as modest a little girl as ever stood on her head or can canned herself for the amusement of a bald headed band of spectators. She is an aspir ing artiste. In the practice of the art she has reached the heights hitherto unattaina ble. She is nn exponent of the high art— art a foot higher than anybody elite’s. There was a dance by the corps de ballet, then a preliminary blare of t rumpets, a mo ment’s silent*, and—Sai'a. It was a rush and a flash and a vision of black legs and black gauze and diamonds. She bounds in like a firefly and whirls around the stage like autumn leaves in a cyclone. Her feet, shoots around in circles, her arms and head and body spin in wild delirium. You would think—if you had time to think —that she was going to kick herself into fragments and spatter the show with her remains. Presently her little slippered foot ascends with lightning-like velocity and strikes a point a long way above her flying imir, then whirls around "and gyrates about her shoulders and comes down again, then up and around as before. She is apparently made of rubber anti whalebone; her kicking is as the revolutions of a fly-wheel or a buzz-saw with a full head of steam on; she throws her feet around her neck and kicks herself in the back of the head—she is weird, fantastic, diabolical. She is an acrobatic imp of dark ness. Her dancing is a sudden tempest, an outburst of reckless passion, a giddying flash. Aud most delightful withal. It is not what chestnut venders call the poetry of motion; it is hardly even graceful. A cyclone is not graceful. Sam is a terpsi chorean cyelone. And the peculiax - thing of it is that the strictest moralist might watch her performance and never turn a hair. THE LIGHTNING CALCULATOR. Reuben Fields, of Kentucky, and His Wonderful Feats with Figures. Ouringsville (A'j/ ) Letter to the Courier-Journal. Reuben Fields, a most exti’aordinary in dividual, has returned to his home near this place, after an absence of some years in the West. Fields is known far and wide as the “Mathematical Prodigy,” and, indeed, he is a most wonderful creature. Perfectly illiterate, not being able to tell one letter or figure from another, he bears the same re lation to the science of mathematics that Blind Torn does to music. Fields is now about twenty-eight years of age, and his ability to quickly and coxrectly solve the most difficult problems was discovered when he was but eigln yearn old. That faculty continued to develop until he is able to solve, with lightning-like rapidity, any problem in simple or compound fractions, or any thing in the higher branches of mathem atics. For instance, the moon is a certain number of miles from the earth; a grain of com is so long; how may grains will it take to connect the points? The answer to this or any other problem conies like a flash, lie can also tell U> the fraction of a second the time of day or night. The marvellous man has been tested by the most expert mathe maticians and his answers to problems bat e been found to lie invariably correct. Scientists have examined Fields s head and pronounce his woinlrotisly developed fac ulty a profound mytery to them. Fields knows little else than this extraordinai'y ability. He claims that his power in this respect is a direct gift from his Creator and liable to be taken away from him if not properly used. The possessor of this gift never went to school a day in bis life, aud never did a day’s work, except to occasion ally aid merchants in invoicing their goods, and in this business he has been known to keep a score or more of clerks busy footing up columns of figures. He is a very large man and has a look the reverse of intelligent. Having no occupation, he lives among his acquaintances, putting up wherever night overtakes him. He is very proud of his gift and frequently compares himself to Bamson. Fields gave an exhibition of his powexs be fore Gov. Crittenden and another distin guished men of Missouri on a late visit West, and they unhesitatingly pronounce him one of the greatest wonders of the centui-y. A NUMISMATIC SUPERSTITION. TUe Curious Belief as to Queen Anne's Farthings. From Harper's Young People. There is a popular belief throughout Eng land that only tlu-ee farthings were struck in all Queen Anne's reign. Two of these farthings are supposed to be in the hands of the British government, but the thix-d is still in circulation, and of fabulous value to the lucky man who secures if, Now the truth is that there were no less than eight different coinings of tho Queen Anne’s far thing, and, so far from being rate, it is worth absolutely nothing to the collector; but this fact, although published again and again, is powerless to destroy its reputation. Now and then a poor countryman finds one in his possession, and believes his fortune made until he is rudely unde ceived when he tries to sell his timsure. Once a Yorkshire laboi’er walked all the way to London, with his wife tramp ing wearily by his side, solely in order to secure the highest possible bidder for the mysterious farthing which was to buy him a farm of his own. Once a shop boy spied such a coin in his master’s till, and, unable to l’esist the temptation, he stole it, leaving another in its place. For weeks the foolish lad went al>out dreaming of his good fox-- tune, until his desire for iriches overcame his prudence, and he rashly offered the prize for sale. Explanations lollowed, and his master, learning of the transaction, at once had the boy arrested. Now, although his intentions were dishonest, the latter had really stolen nothing, for the farthing he put in the till was quite as good as the one he took out; but, alas! the fame of the Queen Anne coin proved his undoing. The jury could not be brought to look upon It as a common bit of money, worth only its face value, and the unfortunate apprentice was actually found guilty of robbery and sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment, being thus punished not for the wrong he did. but for the wrong he meant to do. THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 0, 1867. GOULD’S COMMON CLOTHES. How He Wore Them on Hie Way to Business in an Elevated Car. From the .Vnr York Sun. It has come to be so much the established custom of rich men to dress like Impover ished clerks that a importer was a good deal interested to inspect the clothing of Jay Gould, as the garments appeared upon him in a Ninth avenue elevated train. In nearly all respects he complies with tradition. He had come down from Irvington in his yacht, and, according to ids habit, the Atalanta was tied up at a wharf near Twenty-third street. North river. From there he walked two blocks to the elevated raili’oatl station, where he passed the gateman without pay ing the regulation nickel for the privilege of a ride. He nfct an elderly gentleman on the platform, who took a good deal of evident pleasure in sitting beside the magnate on tho wav down town. When Mr. Gould sat down he f earned bark against the window, crossed his legs’ and, tilting his head over toward his friend, begun to talk to him in a thoughtful, earnest way, while he occasion ally patted his own knees with a folded newspaper. He had on a modest black derby hat that might have been a l-elio of last season,for it was not in the current style. His overcoat was unbuttoned. It was a dark blue, single-breasted garment that came down to lus knees, and the skirts turned up at the edges, in evidence that it had been carelessly sat. upon many, many times. His suit was of one piece, made up in anything but a stylish way, aud worn without regard to appearances. A one button cutaway coat was not buttoned. His trousers were of leas than medium width. His shoes wei - e of heavy material, made ap liarently for comfort only, and fastened wit h buttons at the side. The top button of one shoe was off; the lower button of the other was not. fastened —the buttoner probably would not work satisfactorily. They were blackened, but the polish looked as if it hud lieen put on the night before. Beneath his beard, which shows a few gray hairs here and there, appeared a stand-up collar, with rather long points turned down over a dark scarf. His manner was that of a man with a good deal on his mind —the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph deal was on that very day at its critical point—but he was not nervous, and in no way did he show any consciousness that he might be stal’d at by all persons in view. After riding a few blocks Mr. Gould fold ed his hands and stopped talking, looking with an absorbed expression at the bell rope. Then he turned and noticed that a beardless young man at his side was read ing a copy of one of the Wall street dailies. He glanced quickly from the sheet to the face of the reader, and presently when the young man laid the paper down, Mr. Gould asked permission to borrow it for a moment. He turned the pages over rapidly, giving a cursory glance at several columns, and reading at least, one article through. Then he returned it with nn absent minded “thank you,” and resumed his conversation with his friend. When ho rend the paper lie took from his pocket the only evidence of unusual means he displayed on the trip, a gold-rimmed pair of eye-glasses attached to his vest hy a silk cord. At Barclay street he started up and looked out inquiringly out of the window. “Aren’t we there?” he asked of himself, and then replied as he settled down again. “No, it’s only' Barclay'.” Histones were soft to a degree that made it impossible to Imagine him acting as the stern tyrant over a multitude of interests and employes. He left the train at Cort landt street to go to his office in the Western Union building, and as lie rose the Wall street paper fell from the young man’s lap to the floor, where it lay unheeded until-a man on the other side of the car said to the young fellow: “Do you know who it was that bori-owed your paper?” “No,” was tho reply; “who was it?” “Jay Gould.” “Is that so?” exclaimed the boy in aston ishment, as he turned quickly about to get a view of the disappearing financier. Then he gi-avely stooped and picked up the dis carded paper, folded it tendarly and put it into his pocket. Nothing could have been plainer than that the boy was an ambiti ous novice in the sti’eet, that Jay Gould was his hero, and t hat the precious paper that the magnate had borrowed from him to read was to lie preserved as a valuable souvenir. Three Canal Routes Compared* From the New York Herald. The route to be explored ithe Nicaragua) is by all odds the best on tho Isthmus, It offei’s more facilities and fewer difficulties than any other, nnd will requii’e less expen diture. Tho De Lessens ditch is tho most hopeless task ever undertaken. No amount of capital can make it a success. In the course of a few years it will become n mon strous myth. Money enough has already been sunk there to build the Niea ragua canal several times over, and it is apparently no nearer completion than ever. Nothing but a lomautic ixxtoi’est in the hero of Suez, and a certain popular feeling in France that De Lesseps is a nian of destiny and cannot fail in any undertaking, has carried it along thus far. But even French eyes are beginning to open, and further loans are given with consider able hesitation. I-arge promises have proved unavailing, and the project, with an enormous debt hanging over ir. and only one-fifth completed, halts and lags and in the near future will come to a standstill. It was always the worst, if not the impossible, way from ocean to ocean. The Eads railway from Tehuantepec was, perhaps, the mast daring feat of engineer ing ever pi’oposed. Its projector was a skilled expert, a man of ideas mid great originality of invention. But thexe has always been a doubt in the minds of prac tical" men as to the feasibility of his plan. To take a large vessel up bodily, put tt in a cradle on a railway, and carry it across counti’y, was a matter which naturally ex cited the fears of ship owners.. An injuiy to their craft while in transit, and with "a full cai’go on boaj-t!, would cause delay and loss, which might largely counterbalance the advantages to be gained by a shorter passage. This doubt was a veiy serious mattei’, and terribly handicapped the bold scheme. The Nicaragua l-oute, however, is com paratively a simple affaii’. There are no engineering difficulties which cannot be easily overcome. There is plenty of water on tne east and on the west which can he utilized, and it is lielieved that when the present company returns after its survey the work of piercing the Isthmus at the most available point will be commenced at once. Of course the commercial importance of such a canal cannot be overestimated. Thousands of miles of water passage will lie avoided, and by that much New York aud ouiv,Eastern seaboard, and, for that matter, the Continent of Europe, will be brought nearer to the Pacific markets. The dang ers of Cape Horn will be got rid of, and the whole western coasts of North and Kouth America will be brought within a neighbor ly distance. At Peace.
