Thewhole export of the United States does moi

The yrunroc Doctrine.

The gist Of the Munroe Doctrine, which is
making such noise nowadays, may he fouad
in the following extract from Mr. Munroe's fa-
nous message:
At the proposal of the Russian Imperial gov-
ernment, made through the minister CT the En-
peror residing here, full power and instructions
have been transmitted to the minister of the u
States at ST.. Petersburg.to to arrange by amicahe
negotiation, the respective rights and interests
of the two nations on the northwest coast of
this continent. A similar proposal had been
made by his imperial majesty TO the government
Of Great Britain, which has likewise been ac-
ceded to. The government of the U. States has
been desirous, by this friendly proceeding. of
manifesting the great value which they have in
variably attached to the friendship of the EN-
peror, and their solicitude to cultivate the best
understanding with his government. In the dis
cussions to which his interest has given rise,
and in the arrangements by which they may
terminate, the occasion has been judged proper
for asserting, as principle in which the rights
and interests of the United States are involved,
that the American continents, by the free and
independent condition which they have assumed
and maintain, are henceforth not to be1onsid-
cred as subjects for future colonization by any
European powers.

FACTS ABOUT MILK.-Cream cannot rise
through great depth of milk. II, therefore
milk is Desired to retain its cream for time, it
should be put into deep narrow dish; and if it
be desired to free it most completely of cream, it
should be poured into broad, fiat dish, not much
exceeding one inch in depth. The evolution OF
cream is facilitated 10y rise, and retarded by a
depression of temperature. At the usual temper
ature of the dairy-50 degrees of Fahrenheit
all the cream will probably rise in thirty-six
hours; but at 20 degrees it will perhaps rise in
half that time; and when the milk is kept near
the freezing point, the cream will rise very slow
ly, because it becomes solid6ed.
In wet and cold weather the milk is less rich
than in dry and warm, and on this account more
cheese is obtained in cold than in warm, though
not in thundery weather. The season has its eff
fects The milk, in spring, is supposed to be tht
best for drinking; hence it would be the best fol
calves in summer it sfbest suited for cheese; ant
in autumn the butter keeping is better than tha
of summer-the cows less frequently milked, Civ,
richer milk and consequently more butter. Th,
mornings milk is richer than the evenings, 1hs
last drawn milk of each milking, at all times ant
seasons. is richer than the first drawn, Which i

Having Enemies.

man that has a soul worth sixpence must
expect to have enemies. 1t is utterly impossible
for the best of men to please the whole world,
and the sooner this is understood, and position
taken in view of the fact, the better. Even
when pretended friends are fawning upon you,
seeking to gain something through yohr infu-
ence or your means, it is well to understand
whether they are not your woIst enemies
There is such small sprinkling of disinterest-
ed friendship in our present competitive state of
society, that there Is very little danger OF mis-
taking true friend when you really look sharp
about you. Such an individual comes not with
loud and blatant professions of friendship, nor
with the mask of discrimination upon his brow,
but with candid demeanor, plain dealing and
few or no professions. Unlike the .artful dodg-

simply because they are not excelling you in

The Buffalo Repubiic has The following
account on nr<r9y escape from death and
perhaps a cdal <ston, which occurred at the
residence of CITIZEN of that place few nights
since:
Two of the servant girls on retiring for the
night, shut off the gas in their room. A mo-
ment after shutting off the light, one of the
girls found shon on or in the bed, and threw
it across the chamber. In its fight it hit the
key of the gas-burner and turned it completely
round, letting on full head of the poisonous
yapor. Not discovering the flow of gas, they
both fell asleep At four o'clock the next
morning, another servant, who slept in a re-
mote part of the house, arose to call them. and
attempted to light lamp to go to their room
with. but after using up all the matches she had
without procuring light, she abandoned the
attempt, and went to their room in the dark.
On opening the docr the effect of the vapor
was overpowering, and had she carried light
a terrible explosion aud confagration would
have ensued The two girls were found almost
in the agonies Of death, and we learn that the
medical adviser of the family was in attendance
until late that day, constantly at work in his
efforts to recuscitate them.

Poor Farming an Expensive Bu-
SinnSS

The truth is, poor farming IL an expensive bu-
'sness. The cost exceeds the income. III from
a very low grade of farming, which of course must
be Improbable, we ascend to q better condition
of the art, we shall come to point where there
ueither loss 1er gain; the income evnals the out
goes; the ends meet, as they say. And this, If we
understand these Matters is the very condition in
which nineteenths of our farming now is.
The farmer of an hundred acres puts on his farm
hi his own labor, in the labor of his wife aud his
children, in taxes, insurance, &c. $500. And
he takes Oft in marketable produce or for home
consumption, $500. THE ends meet;" and if
tlere were no better way he need complain; for
he is working his way through the world as quiet
ly and as easily as most men, for the development
ofshigh moral qualities he has the advantage of
most others; and what is more, he has the best
possible meaRs of training his children to those
habits of industry and frugality which more than
conspire to make them good men and women and
worthy citizens.
Let him not, therefore, complain But if there
is better way, let him fall into it. We do not
believe that farming is necessarily limited to the
operation of putting on $500 and taking off $500,
andling by the operation, only because what is
put on is mostly put on in the form of labor done
by the family If a farm will give $500, with
the labor of one man, it will give great deal
more with the labor Of two men; and the excess
will more than balance the wages and board oi
the second. Instead ofputting on $500 and TAX
ing off $500, the better way is to put on 800
and take off $500; and then to put on 5000 and
take of 81 200. There is doubtless limit be-
yond which the income could not be made to in
crease above the expenditures; but very few of us
are in danger of going beyond the limit. There
is much more danger of falling short ofit Our
standard is too low. Men are afraid to trust
their land, lest it should not pay them. It is the
best paymaster in the world

t5- Everybody says that collision between the
United States and Great Britain would be among the
graves calamites that could overtake either country
Nearly everybody says that such collision would
be the next thing to crime against civilization and
progress and all agree that the most terrible respon-
sibility would rest upon the party chargeabe with
bringing on such state of affairs. Reasoning thus,
the press and the public too apt to regard such
event as impossible or, at least, highly lmproba,
Bile as to amount TO the next thing to impossible
ty. Still we must say, that careful perusal of the
diplomatic correspondence in relation to the open
questions pending between the two countries leaves
no such feeling of perfect security upon the mind
as 10 justify the assurances given out, and moth
ing can give value to these assurances but re-
soIute attitude, and state of preparedness the
part of the United States. Otherwise Great Britain
may, and think will, carry her assumptions to u
point from which she cannot back out, without such
additional blow 10 her already shaken prestige as
she cannot afford If the skies be perfectly clear, this
clsaness must be sought elsewhere than in the Off
cial correspondence
