110114 ADOUT BUTTER.

_ —.—
Long since, even is provincial towns of moderate
sir" Britemy butter has been sold am Brittany—a
f ict in itaclf quite w uttliy the attention of the sur-
rounding agriculturists—and now there ie good resiaon
t• belisve that this very French butter I. being
retailed in the metropolis and elsewhere as "Dorset."
Neither is there any concealment ;if questioned, the
retailer will often candidly own the fact. The con-
sumer is not injured. as the quality is about the sans.;
but to the farmer, an.l the landed interest at large it
is a very different m tier. Hare is an increasing
un .orx of one of the products we were •nppo.ed to
excel in, and Its quality is sufficiently good to par
muster as the genuine manufacture of English dairies.
But this I. not all.

There ii;g-r.";;;;I. for the belief that a percentage of
this French butter is in it. original state a decidedly
inferior substanoe. All of it does not come from
Sormarwly or Brittany -districts where a superior
butt,r really is made—but from localities of quite a
distinA deecription, yet their inferior produce usurp.
the position of English butter in the market, because
it is two e carefully manipulated. It is not to be
Bopp( sed that a customer will purchase an article, the
very appearance of which is against it, when he can
get another equally good in substance, and much
more tempting. The balance will always be in favour
of the beet-looking butter, in preference to to a clam
quite aa rich in component parts but lacking "finish."
In private hollow, where the table is at all studied,
it is now • general practice to subject the butter as it
comes from the shop to a process of "working up,"
which separates the salt and water, and gives it a
much more appetising appearance, and a sweeter
flavour to the palate. This in itself shows the value
of so simple a thing as mere manipulation; In fact,
we incline to think that half the poor butter offered
waa not really bad in its primary condition, but has
been spoilt by defective treatment. If the French,
with an article not one whit better than our own
ordinary butter, are driving us out of our own
market, actually trading under our own brand as it
were, it Is obviously high time .olne new energy was
Infused into our dairies.—From the " Meet
Journal."

EXTRAORDINARY AMUR IN JERSEY.

The death of a French lady is reported to have
recently ,ocurred at tit. Helier's, Jersey, under the
must extraordinary circumstances. About 18 months
ego It seems that the lady, who was apparently about
50 years of age, arrived in Jersey from Paris,
accompanied by a maid and a child, the latter about
11 years of age. She brought with her some valuable
or perty, and seemed to be possessed .4 considerable
fortune. A short time afterwards the servant and the
child went beck to Franoe and since then the lady
has lived by honed, and ahliottszh of indifferent
health would not accept the company of any one,
fearing to be robbed. Fifteen days ago she reseed to
lay in her usual provisions and make her purchases.
Inquiries were accordingly made if she was away
from home, and • parer by hearing greens emanating
from the house she Inhabited, the house was itreinT
and it was found that she was sick tubed, and keel
been alone without assistance for five day'. A desire
was expressed by • person present that a nurse should
remain with the deceased, but the suggestion au at
once declined by her, she desiring only to be carried
to the bowie of a baker, of whom every morning she
purchased a penny roll A doctor was called, but was
unable to obtain any information with regard to the
lady's name, fortune, or family. Seeing her end
she sent for the Preach Consul, with
IloPmr7eVtliout any explanation whatever, the
deposited 44,000 franca few days after this she
died, and on examination the doctor found a packet
containing 71,000 francs in bank notes and about
60,000 franca' worth jewels and diamonds. It is
s.dd she had one article of jewellery which alone was
worth 25,000 franca. The fortune remains in the
hands of the authorities until the heirs of the deceased
establish their claims, and if not claimed in a cartel's
time it will be sequestered to the Crown.

Howe Isviarrinarra screw Foamoz.—At the present
time, when more than usual attention is likely to be
directed to Tramway Securities as a sound and pro-
gressive Home Investment, it may be instructive to
point out what have been the results to those associated
with the leading Companies from their formation, and
from • study of the various Register* of Shareholders,
It is surprising to notice how large • number of the
original subscribers still remain upon the lists. The
following list will show how this steady faith has been
rewarded :—The original Capital of the Dublin,
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Liverpool, London,
London Street, and North Metropolitan Companies
amounted to £2,076,900, and the value of this Capital
to-day is 12,108,635. The above figures speak for
themselves. They show that an investment of
£2,076,900 of capital at home (or lees than either of the
last Loans to Honduras and Costa Rica, and about
one-eighteenth part of the money entrusted to the
tender mercies of the Peruvian Government) has, in •
few years, under the protection of English laws, pro-
duced a profit of 49f per cent, upon the capital, in
addition to • good dividend gdui• while those who
faith in placed miserable fore Republics have lost
no less a rum in the three above-mentioned
than £38,729,500. The radios of Tramway Share-
holder. is, I am glad to say, steadily and surely
widening dit is evident that small capitalists who
have hithertoan held aloof are at last realizing the merits
of these Securities. To anyone having, say £l,OOO, to
employ in undeveloped Tramways, I would recommend
a selection from the following :—Angio-Argentine,
Hull, Belfast, Provincial, Swansea, Tramway Union,
Wolverhampton, and Tramway and General Works
Company.- Prom the A114114/7 Circular of Mr.
