MARcYs OPINION OF COLONEL FREMONT
publish an extract to-day from the annual report
Of the War Department Of 1916, concerning the
military achievements Of Colonel Fremont in
California This extract being an Official state
ment from Secretary Marcy for the information
Of the President of the United States and The two
houses of Congress, must be correct. Official
documents are always considered the best sort of
testimony. Taking, therefore, this official state
ment Of the Secretary of War as PROFESSIONALLY
true, it establishes the fact that to j. G. Fremont
belongs especially the honor of the conquest of
bottom.

Mr.. BucHASAN's LETTER OF AccEPTANcE.-We
publish this morning Mr.. Buchanan's letter ac-
cepting the Cincinnati nomination. 1t is very
smooth, very gracious and very consolng The
celebrated Tittlebat Titmouse, when put up for
Parliament, promised everything to everybody
as his platform; but the task of Mr.. Buchanan
has been more difficult. He accepts the Cincin-
natl platform, and can't undertake to promise
anything more or less-but yet he does promis
us the millennium. The old wings will be delight
ed to read it, for it will be news to them that
they are all going for the Cincinnati nominee.
Let every body read this consoling letter. Who
says now there will be war?

returning from visit to his flock, he saw
before him strange nondescript, as large as

breathing very hard, running furously to-
wards his shins. ProvidentiaIly he sprang
aside, and before the assailant could stop
and turn upon him, he had run such dis

The tone Of this question, and the compa-

admonished him that he, if any one should

taken the wrong direction. They soon came

Great was the relief and satisfaction Of

and might frigiiten children, Perhaps hurt

BUTTER.-Will salt preserve butter? No; /;
that question is easily answered. Salt is
added to butter for two reasonS-one is to
assist in its preservation, the dairy woman
vainly thinking that plenty of salt will keep
the butter sweet. Another set add salt with
dishonest motives, with the idea that all the
salt put in the butter is sold al the full price
the butter brings. 1t is a great mistake
Every pound Of salt put in butter over what
is needed to give it flavor, instead Of bring
ing a cash return to the buttcr-maker, proves
a positive loss Of several cents 4 pound, be-
cause it reduces the value of every pound Of
butter so oversalted, frequently as much as
three cents pound. Butter is not pre-
served by salt This is positive. 1t will
keep just as long and just as sweet as olive
oil, without salt, if no other substance is in
corporated with it. 1t is the caseine of milk
that spills the butter, and unless free from
that, no art can keep it sweet. Butter should
be churned at 650, and Immediately after
ward reduced to 400, and the less it is touch
ed by human hands the better. 1t must be
worked cool, either with or without wash
ing, as that is a mooted question, until ab-
soutely free of buttermilk or particles of
sour curd, and then just enough, and no
more, salt added to suit the taste of the con-
sumer. The salts -must be pure, and one
ounce to ten pounds Of butter will be sufi-
cient Then pack the butter solidly in any
cask Of sweet wood or stone pot, so as to
exclude the air, and just so long as the air
is eXcllded the butter will remain sweet
If it could be kept perfectly excluded, the
period that it would keep sweet is forever.
