Tom Moore tells of Lord Alvanley, I think, who,
attending a Liberation meeting in Dublin, lost his hat,
and, losing his temper with it, buret into the room where
the meeting was being held, and satonished the Irishmen
by shouting, "Confound jou all ! I came to liberate you,

It is an odd c ineidence that Dr. Baxter Langley, who
has twice contested Greenwich, and, till recently, intended
to try his fortune a third time, should have been ilefensled

Druscovich is usually half net of the dick. cranning over

not that of a clear awl distinct articulation. When ho Is

co-prisoner Painter, and chuckles when some plisse of tile
eviaence brings to his mind an weir ing reminiscence.
It is aifficult to regard the two elderly and henienants
looking gentlemen wh i sit upon Drusrovich's left as 'wing
criminals, or even detectives. Palmer and Clarke are the
very opposite of what a man whose mind Wan tteiintlieti in

The case of one young gentleman is peculiarly hard.
He hail been up for examination thrice hefore, but unto.
tunately could not retain his grasp of more than two
subjects at the same time, always letting the third slip.
The first time he passed in Common Law and Equity, but
was plougheil in Real Property. The second time he
passed in Real Property and Common Law, but stumbled
over Equity. Anain he went lip, and this time he had
mast eel both Equity and Real Property, hut was floored
at Common Law. Upon the lluar,l of Examiners con-
sidering these circumstances, they thought it would be
sufficiont if this young gentleman were examined in the
one subject he required, instead of going again through
all three. But his fate still iltlrPllCi him, for the exami-

CHEESE MAKING IN TIIE WEST.

In an article on "Cheese Making in the West," the
Globe says—The elementary principles of the cheese-
making art are pretty well known to all except the most
thorough-going cockneys. The processes by winch the
milk is first r insolidated. then separated into curds and
whey ; by which the curls are first broken up, then heated,
then ground up again, and lastly packed up and crushed
together in the priois ; are familiar to almost every one
who has ever st syed a fortnight in the West of Eeglanil.
That which is less known and tem well-understood, is the
seini-instinctive which dim cts the process through
all its apparently simple stages. Yet the ttttt dame
who is charged with this duty. is no lastly proud of her
vocation and az full of busy importance as the wanager of
a brewery in October, or the in ajorelomo of • baronial
ball on Christmas Eve. She is proud, nit only of her art
itself, hut of her particular interpretation thereof. Her
own method is uniiiiie—aither elaborated out of her own
inner consciousness awl her own experience, or learnt
from some ancestor, who so in ingurateil it ; and in its
own way it is a branch of scientific knowledge, which the
proprietress will stoutly uphold against all rivals in the
world. Cheese-raaking is especially, and it may almost
he essentially, a connubial occupation. It may be
doubted whether a widow or a widower could ever make
a good cheese; awl as for an old maid, it is a maxim
beyond dispute, in the West country, that the milk would
turn sour under her eye. The whole science of cheese-
making seems to be naturally bawd upon the assumption
that the chief agents are man and wife. One half of the
performance devolves as naturally upon the lady as the
other does upon the mix; and the two parts, in which
each takes a separate and legitimate pride, cannot he
either interchanged or confused together without nibchief
awl injury. Thus it is that the strong arm of Melibseus
carries in the pails of steaming milk, and pours the
contents with stewly accuracy into the strainer arranged
for them ; while the neat hands of Myna' direct the
wooden ladle, and with calm complacency stir and
mix the matchlessly pure white sea, as it slowly
circles round its shining tin vat. Then it is the
dame who measures out, and adds the just proportion of
rennen and oh swir whey, while the emptying of the
refuse whey, or rather the transportation of it to the
region of the styes, falls naturally within the province of
her more athletic lord. The task of gently crushing the
curd when it is flwt formed is ofivionalg a female
icipa-
tion, and the hare arms of the performer in the attitude
of executing this figure Is one of the most familiar to those
who have ever visited a dairy. To grind the curds when
coagulated into harder 11.1,SISCR requires generally a more
muscular arm, and the duty of turning the cheeses in the
cheese room is clearly one which no woman ought to be
called upon to undertake. This duty alone is no light one
when the shelves have begun to groan beneath the whole
weight of the Runnier produce. A hundred chi cue,
averaging .% pounds a piece in weight, are not taken up
from their several places and sot down ag sin bottom
upwards in the value place without some phy-ical exer-
tion ; and some of our athletes who distinguish themselves
at Lillie Bridge or the German gymnasium would he
puzzled to "turn" a whole romnlfull of chaise. as quickly
and neatly as a stumpy little farmer from" Zoinerset.'
Besides this, there is other work to be done in the cheese
room in adjusting the linen garments of the inmates.
Eats cheese, during the first days and weeks of its exis-
tence, wears veritable "stays,' the lacing isf which is in
itself an art worthy of a Bond-street tkiir ; and
this lacing up of stays is perhaps the only one of all the
operations which in the cheese room, as elsewhere, mai'
be assigned at will either to Nfelibcwis or Phi ilk or to
the two t sgether. Throughout the whale of these pro-
cesses it is clear to the philosophic mind what should be
the relation of the principal actors to one another. The
dealer knows to which the praise or blame is justly due,
if the purchase turns out to be above or below the average
of former years ; and the connoiseur in cheeses will
admit, if he has any fairness, that a chef it ,T,,cre from
Frorne or Beeby reflects about equal proportions of credit
on the farmer and the farmer's wife.
