TRANsMGRATIoN.-Greele proposes that the
Whig party shall shuttle off its mortal COLL and
shuttle on another 10 the following fashion.
To persevere in the present organization OF par
ties is folly, as will soon be manifest to whoever
attempts it. The voice of the nation is against u.s.
and why not submit 10 It! Let it be understood
that the orginiz of the late Wing party is at
an end. and there will speedily be two .Democ rat
ic' parties, and of these two would be really
democratic, and would take up and adopt The most
cherished principles, at least, of the late Wing
party What Wing, then who has been Wing
from principle, should object 10 this? If he has
been actuatei by mo tives of the general welfare,
he ,cH Otec. 10 his principles adopted unaer
the name Of Democracy. 1ftley be but carried out,
he ought to be satisfsd, and not object that they
are secured to the country under different ban
ner than which they originated
We already have two Democratic partes-cne
Free Democratic party and the other Siaue
Democratic party. We have no doubt the Free
Democratic party would better suit Greeley and
most of the Wings at least We have objections
against t:ieir trying it.

NENTILArIoN.-The only ventilation practical
BILE IN the houses OF the working classes, is that
which is termed natural ventilation, which is caused
by the ascent of heated air; the air becomes more
impure by the action of the lungs, or by the burning
OF Candles lamps, gas, sc, or by the fife, is heated
and rendered lighter than pure air; ithereore rises
TO the top, and cold, pure air takes its place. Thus
TO yentllale a room WE'LL it is essential that there
should be two openngs-one above, by means of
which the impure heated air can pass out, and
another below, for the entrance Of pure cold air. In
dwelling rooms, as ordinarily constructed, the i'm
pure air is imperecty carried away by the draught
OF the chimney, it follows that the whole of the
room above the level of the fireplace remains filled
with air in partially impure state; and the open
ings by which air is admitted are usually left to
chance, the cracks around and under the doors and
windows being the means by which it gains an ell
trance. II these are not sufficient admit proper
quantity OF air to supply the draugh of the chimney,
the latter necessarily smokes. much better plan
is, to admit The pure outer air by means of "A plate
OF perforated ziac placed, instead of pane Of glass,
IN the upper part of one more of the windows
iurhest from the fire; the air entering through the
zinc IN small streams, becomes so mingled with the
warm air OF the room, that dTaught is prevented,
and when the windows opposite the fire, the
whole air of the room is gradually and impercepti-
bly, changed. Ito this mode of admitting pure air,
cold ar, be added an opening in the chimney, near
the ceiling, TO allow the escape of the impure warm
air, much will be done for health and comfort; this
.opening in the chimney, however, requires Chin
ney valve to prevent any downward draught Of
smoke. The utility OF this mode of allowing air 10
enter and escape, for The purpose Of ventiating
rooms, is proved by its frequent and increasing
adoption. Where appearance Is an object, glass
perforated with circular holes or Sits may be en-
ployed instead OF zinc, and chimney valves are
made of very ornamental character. Cold air, il
may be added, should never be admitted under the
doors or at the bottom ofa room, unless ii be close
to the fire or stove-otherwse it flows along
the floor towards the fire place, leaving the upper
foul air unchanged, and cooling most unpleasantly
and injuriously the feet and legs, which are most
susceptible to atmospheric changes.-London Jour

IMPROVEMENT IN MAKING BUTTER-
M. Chamembel proposes to introduce modifca-
ton IN the process Of making butter, by which
the latter will be improved in quality and render
ed capable of being longer kept in fresh slate
If butter contained only the fat or oily part of
milk, 1t would but slowly undergo changes from
contact with the air; but it retains certain
quantity of caseine, which, transformed by fer
mentaton, gives rise to butyrc acid, TO which
rancid butter owes its disagreeable taste Washing
does not effectually remove this cause of alter
alton, for water cannot act upon butter, nor can
ii separate the caseine which becomes insoluble
under the influence of acids developed IN cream.
more complete publication may, however, be
effected if we saturate or neutraise these acids;
the caseine will then be rendered soluble, and
consequently the butter will only retain it in very
small quantities, in state in which it may be Il
most entirely removed by washing. NJ. Cham
embel proposes TO operate as folIows:--W When the
cream Is put IN the churn, pour n little by little,
and working the churn at the same time,-a
quantity of milk of lime sufficient to destroy all
acldity; churn till the butter separates, but not
till II forms into Jumps as is usually done; strain
of the buttermlk, and put cold water in its stead
along with the butter in the churn; continue
churning till the butter is sufficiently collected,
then take it out and make it up in Jumps or rolls
IN the usual way. The butter which has been
made according to this method has always proved
better and kept much longer fresh than that OBJ
tanned by the usual mode of proceeding. The
buttermilk was free from all acrid taste, and was
much rellshed by those persons who used it, and
by animals. 1t had also lost its laxative proper
ties. Washing with lime water has also restored
butter previously so tainted that it could not be
used except for melting. Any other alkaline
wash may be substituted for lime water Complies

WASHING BY STEAM.-A New York cor

small steam-engine. Steam is then let into the
cylinder under the water and clothes, which
raises them out of the water, passing through the
pores of the fabric and out at the top of the cy-

POPULATION OF rHr v1clN1rv or ROWE. The

POPULATION OF THE VICINITY OF ROME. The
inhabitants of the mountainous regions near Rome,
are generally speaking, fine looking race. The
men are We'll formed, and IN heir movement and
bearing, iree and graceful. They fall naturally into
striking and saiuesqae attitudes, aud when speak
ing, break into kindiing and expressive gestures.
The women did not seem TO handsome as the
men, though among them often fine heads and
striking countenances. Fiom their habit of carry
ing burdens upon the head, they very erect, and
their gait and movement full of emphasis and
expression. In young men and women both, there
is great deal of kind Of beauty, TO which our
northern eyes not much cusomed-that de
rived from color alone. With them, the tone Of COL
oring is Venetian; with us, Umbrian. The com.
plexion is of rich healthy yellow, with FURNISH
and glow upon il like shat Of ripe neclarine the
eyes are OF sparkling brown Or black; the teeth,
white and regular; aud the massive raven hair
shines with sort Of metallic light, like bit of
freshly broken anthracite coal. Those fine coIors,
so common in Italy, are in part the result of that
open AIR life which all the people lead. In South.
ern Italy, at least, no man woman, especially in
the rural regions, stops under roof any longer than
is inevitable.
Every person who has lived in Rome or its neigh
borhood, must have noticed the antipahy felt by the
inhabitants TO fire. An Italian child from the
moment he is born, begins to know the light and air
OF heaven. He tumbes about the grass like drop

The peasantry near Rome, both male and female,
are fond of snowy costumes aud they have native
taste Tor the disposition of colors. and the appOpr
ate use OF ornaments of gold and silver. On fest.

LIGHT FOR ANIMALs.-We are often i'm
pressed with the gross neglect of otherwise inte-
gent men, IN not securing abundant light for ami
NAL life, To the animal and the plant alike, and
to each and every human being, light well as
warmth, is absolutely Indispensable Put plant
in a cellar, and it will grow up colorless, flexible,
healthless. Put it in dark place, and YET give
it air, and it will hardly do better Yet people
will attempt TO bring up animals imprisoned and
housed. In some public remarks we had occa-
sion to make, we stated that pig would not
grow il deprived Of light. We soon after met
an old gentleman, and he had lived sixty years
without discovering the fact, and the first words
he addressed 10 us were: swell you told me
why my pigs would not grow. Two years ago,
| put in a snug place under my barn, six pigs.
1t was warm but dark, and they were fed through
the floor. In the spring took them cut, and
they looked like rats. They hadn't grown
pound.' A farmer of our acquaintance was
sometime since driving fine mare. We asked
him how she became blind He told US that he
put her and two other three year old horses into
perfectly dark stable in the fall, and in the
spring, soon alter they came to the light, they
went stone blind These illustrations show con-
cusively, that light is necessary to every living
and growing thing. Our barns are not light
enough. Our houses too, many of them, are too
destitute of light. Parents pursue blind and
benghed course, when they encourage their
children in living housed and imprisoned land when
they encourage them in envelopmg their faces
under Impeneirable wells, lest their cheeks should
blister. You cannot blister the cheek of a cherry
or peach. Better remember that the ruddy
glow of priceless health, and The life and ANNA
ton that irradiate beauty, can never exist in per-
fiction, unless in full and free exposure to air and
sunlight.-T0Ledo Ohio) Blade.
