BUTTER.


Mode ofmaking butter, as il is hractised
in the neigh6orhood Of Rennis, in Bris
tany, qVhere the best butter in France
is made-milk is COMPOSED Of three
PARTS, essentially different from each
other they are as follows
LIST. The aqueous part called whey
which is very acid.
I'd. The cheese part, which is very
substantial.
Sd. The butter part, called cream, OF
an oily nature, and which comes up ma
turally to the surface of the milk even
before its decomposition. 1t is this
cream that is turned out into butter by
churning. In order to make good but
ter, the decomposition of milk must
have begun; mean its three part must
be exactly separated, as it happens when
it begins to turn sour. Milk must me-
cessarily be sour before beginning to
churn: but is urgent to churn it as soon
as it is sour; and not to wait its fermen-
tation.
1t must have curdled and soured it.
self without FIRE. In the winter season,
however, it is proper to pour little
sour milk into it to make it coagulate.
Though the cream is the elementary
part Of butter, nor neither the cheese or
whey part contain any .ef it, yet i, is ne
cessary to throw into the churn the
three parts Of the mill, and to churn
them altogether. The reason of this is
evident. The churning which must be
always uniform and continual, commu-
nicates a slight degree Of heat, which
would give disagreeable taste to the
butter, if the cream were churned alone {;
while churning the whole together, the
acidity ofthe whey tempers the heating
effects Of the churning, the cheese part
helps the separation, and the butter
comes fresh out of the churn. 1t is to
preserve the fresh taste, that IN summer

ments.
The custom which has become so We.
ry common with the Genera. Govern
nent, OF selecting members of Congress
for important Offices, during the period
for which they were elected to serve in
Congress, has excited much attention,
and created very general dlsapprobaiion.
This practice has been pursued on a
smaller scale in some OF the states by
the appointment OF members of assem-
oily 10 offices under the state government.
1t is but TOO common for members of as
sembly to resign their seats which they
have sought for with great assduity
from the people, for the purpose of OBJ
tanning from their own body more lu-
craiive and permanent sppointme nts.-
And what is more Objectionable in this
matter, is, the receiving ofappoin,men,s
to Offices created by themselves, during
the same session. There is something
50 giaringy indeiicate in thus receiving
an appointment, that il assuredly should
excite attention, and call Tor amendment.
1t should be the exclusive duty Of Lee
glsIators to act for their constituents.
without aDy peculiar view to their own
benefit, or advancement. But liza mem
Der is allowed Immediately to fill an Of
Ace of profit created in part BY his owe
vose, apd pur,rups manly by bis own ex-
ertions, is j, not to be feared that super-
i1uous Offices will be created, to the great
advantage of the few who obtain them,
but topthe squal injury Of the people who
bear Aeburthen
How easy would it be for Iegisla-
ture composed of small number oil
members TO create a sufficient number
of Offices during a single session, to pro-
vide for ma jority Of themselves. Or
how easy would it be for few OF the
most active and influential members oil
any legislative body to unite their ef-
forts for the attainment Of such an OBJ
iect, and thus legislatc themselves into
office, regardless of the wishes Of the
people, or the claims'of others. Tnde.
pendently of the considerations connect.
ed with the invaluable motto Of lead
rs not into temptation," and many other
serious objections arise to this course oil
| procedure. A member Of assembly, il
candidate for any Office dependent or
| that body, has an advantage over all com.
petitors, and is enabled by bartering Of
votes, and similar measures, to secure ar
ascendancy among his fellow members
The practice is injurious to the res
dignity and utility of any legislative bo
dy, has tendency to convert an assem-
bly, Of grave delibera,ors for the peo
pies good, into body of active sche
mers for their own interests. The onl,
efficient mode of rem ecying the evi
and placing legislative bodies beyond
the influence OF personal considerations
is to make it illegal for any member o.
assembly to receive an appointment
from the legislature, during the period
for which he was elected. Wig.

stefan is indispensable. The patient gets
worse; but the doctor perceiyes it not,
and like the knight OF La Mancha, fool
ishly imagining what he wishes, and mis-
taking the symptoms of dissolution for
those of conyalescence, pronounces his
patient out of danger. And there the
tragedy ends.
To be in the way of those who might

The unhappy patient is ulled Into secu-

case--but too many such have actually
happened, Of which the writer of this ar

cult to imagine an evil that more loudly
demands legislative interference. If the
sagacious physician, who has made the
healing art the study and business

what deplorable mischief may not be

10 conclude, sir, am not sensible Of any ne
cessity for the extraordinary interference OF
the commercial states, to controul the general
councils of the nation. If any interference
could, at this critical extremely of our affairs,
nave kindly effect upon our common welfare,
IL would be interference TO promote union, and
not dNision-to urge mutual confidence, and
not universal distrust-to strengthen the arm,
ana not to relax the sinews of the nation. Our
suffering and our dangers, though differing per-
maps In degree, are universal i'm extent. As
their causes are justly chargeable, so their re

on others. But while the spirit of indie
Pendence shall continue to beat in unison
with the pulses of the nation, no danger
VIII be truly formidable. Our duties are, to
prepare with concerted energy, for those which
threaten us, TO meet them without dlsmay. and
to rely for their issue upon Heaven.

the uniform tenour of human history il is that of
carrying temper ofmutual forbearauce, through
all their divisions of making the party feeling,
which never can include more than portion of

GALYANlC EXPERIMENT.

By the sentence of The Court the body
of Johnson, the murderer la,e ly executed
at New York, was to be handed over to
the Surgeons for dissection. The curious
results obtained in Europe by the aid Of
Galyanism. led to similar experiments in
this case. When brought into the room,
the lace was livld aud the body still warm.
A powerful Galvan;C battery, snder the
direction of Professor McNevin, assisted
by Professor GIiscom and Or. GreenboW,
was made to act on different parts OF the
body. The effect was startling TO the
spectators. The arms and legs were ra-
p,dsy contracted and extended, The hand.
clenched with violence, and a genera |
shivering pervsded the body. The eye
brows were drawn up, and the features
distorted in most horrible manner. The
heart was laid open and seen to beat, and
nothing but actual breathing was necessa.

stored to life. Many of the spectators
