CHARLES SUMNER.- The attentions
which this distinguished man receives in
Europe, from all those from whom atten-
tions are generally esteemed desirable, are
exceedingly distasteful to the Democratic
papers. Mr. Summer had received the
same attentions before, and nothing that
he has done since, nothing that he has
suffered, has, in any degree weakened the
respect in which he is held by the first
statesmen and literary men of the old
world. The American Minister'S who in
obedience to the wishes of partizan ad-
ministration, have refused to extend the
usual eourtesies to an American senator,
have not, in the least, interfered with his
reception. They have only cut them
selves off from some agreeable visits to
which they would have been invited with
him, and on his account 1t has made
no sort of difference to him.-Procideace

SERIOUS STEAMBOAT CoLLTsIoN-We
have to record a serious collision which
occurred between the Key City and the
Ben Coursin, about three miles above
La Crosse, on Sunday morning last, at 2
O'Clock. The Ben Coursin was bound
down at the time and the Key City up.
The Cousin was struck about fifteen feet
from the bow, and so serious was the in
jury that she sunk in fifteen feet water, in
the short space of three minutes. Report
varies in the number drowned. Some as
sert sixteen, others thirty. Of those
drowned was French family, named
Toucy, consisting of husband, wife and
two daughters. When our informant left
six bodies had been recovered, three men
and three women. One of these was ma
med Mckee. None but deck passengers
are thought to be lost-those unfortunates
being asleep at the time of the Disaster
Our informant further stated that at one
time he saw about ten persons jump over
board aud swim for the shore, and of these
but three reached land How serious
this disaster has proved, day or two, at
furthest, will probably elicit, and also
will bring to the knowledge of the public
at whose door the cause of this loss of
life lies.--DuJ. Er. and H., 9th inst.

MANUFACTURE OF CoMBs.--It is, said
that the greatest comb manufac tory in
the world is in Aberdeen, Scotland
There are thirty-s furnaces for prepar-
ing horns and tortoise shell for the combs,
and one hundred and twenty iron screw
presses are continually going in stamp
ing them. Steam power is employed to
cut the combs. The coarse combs are
stamped or cut out-two being cutin one
piece at a time The fine dressing combs,
and all small tooth combs are cut BY
fine circular saws, some so fine as to cut
forty teeth in the space of one inch, and
they revolve five thousand times in one
minute. There are some two thousand
varieties of combs made, and the aggre-
gate number produced, of all these differ
ent sorts of combs, is about 5000 coo
annually quantity that, if laid together
lengthways, would extend about seven
hundred miles. The annual consump-
ton of hoofs amounts to 10000 the
consumption of tortoise shell and buffalo
horn, although not SO large is correspond
ingly valuable. A hoof undergoes eleven
distinct operations before it becomes a
finished comb.

A NEW BARoMETER.-The Crockett
(Texas) Printer describes a barometer in
that office, made by V. I. Dalton, of Gal
weston The active power is an ordinary
violin string, one end of which is attached
to the roof inside Of small toy house,
easily made of cigar boxes the other end
being fixed in the centre of bit tof board
upon either end of which is toy figure,
to the fancy of The maker. The house
has two doors, so cut that each of the fig
ures will stand before door. Thus pre-
pared, one of the figures will move out
side its door when the damp atmosphere
relaxes the string to twist tightly. Thus
one figure outside the door indicates rain,
the other no rain, and most accurately so.
Ours twelve hours previously foretold ev-
cry rain that has fallen since our return
from Galveston.

Will salt preserve butter? No; that
question is easily answered., Salt is add
ed to butter for two reasons--one is to
assist in its preservation, the dairy -wo
man vainly thinking that salt will keep
the butter sweet. Another set add salt
with dishonest motives, with the idea
that all salt put in butter is sold at the
full price the butter brings. 1t is a great
mistake. Every pound Of salt put in
butter, oyer what is required to give it
flavor, instead of bringing a cash return
TO the butter-maker, proves a positive loss
of several cents pound, because it re-
duces the value Of every pound Of butter
so over salted. frequently as much as 3
cents a pound. Butter is not preserved
by salt That is positive. Il will keep
just as long and just as sweeta as Olive oil,
without salt, if no other substance is in
corporated with it. 1t is the casein of
milk that spoils the butter, and unless free
from that, no art can keep it sweet. But
ter should be churned at 65 degs., and
Immediately. afterwards reduced to 40
degs., and the less it is touched by hui
man hands the better. 1t Unjust be work
ed cool, either with or without washing,
as this is a mooted question, until abso
lutely free from butter-milk or particles of
sour curd, and then just enough and no
more salt added to suit the taste of the
consumer. The salt must be pure, and
one ounce to ten pounds of butter will be
sufficient. 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 excluded the butter will re-
main sweet. If it could be kept perfect
ly excluded, the period that it would keep
sweet is forever. Your question is an
swered. Salt wW not preserve butter

Is THE SEED Corn SELECTED Now
is the time to attend TO it. Look ont the
most most forward thrifty stalks, where
there are two or three good ears on each.
Let these ripen thoroughly-if practical
bic, more than the general crop, which
should be cut before the stalks are dry,
in order to make the most of them for
fodder Select only for seed such ears
as are entirely filed out at the tips and
butts, with plump kernels. Let these be
kept in a dry place over Winter. The
old plan of braiding lhem in tresses, and
hanging them up, is by no means a bad
one, though some may think it trouble
some where fifty or hundred bushels of
seed corn is wanted. 1t pays just as
well, proportionalIy, to expend time and
care for large amount Of seed, as where
only few ears are wanted. Proper care
in the selection of the best ears will not
only improve the quality, but also the
quantity OF the next crop. And further,
a little extra care in ripening and keeping
seed dry, may save an extra planting
next Spring-perhaps save the loss of a
crop.

The PREss.-Said Wendell Phillips,
in his recent Grafton before the Phi Beta
Kappa Society of Yale College The
Press is the ruling power of the times.
The age of statesmen is over, the age Of
the printing press has come. What the
invention of gunpowder was to the art of
war, making any man who could pull a
trigger equal to the most powerful war
rior, the press is to the reading age. We
have invented the pamphlet. We have
called into existence the fourth estate of
the ream---it is brains. Men sometimes
think that the great brows at Washington
control the nation So the boy who first
sees a steamboat thinks that the walking
beam is the propeIling power, but below
there is a fanatic feeding the fires

The GREATEST STEAM INVENTION YET.
The Baton Rouge Gazette, under the ABOVE
heading, says:
VIM. St. Martin has invented an en-
gine which can be constructed, boiler
and all, for about $50. The machine is
so simple that we might with propriety
say it is merely an escape pipe, taking up
no more room. The steam is admitted in
the centre of drum or cylinder, in
which the shaft works from this power
is applied directly. without further fric-
ton. The other day we saw the perfect
model of the engine pumping water about
twenty feet, and throwing it into reser-
voir at the brewery. This is the appa-
ratus wanted for getting, in a cheap man
ner, one or two horse power to drive
small machinery. Mr.. st. Martin has
made application for letters patent

A NOBLE AcT.-The Milwaukee Wears
thus mentions a noble and chivalrous act,
performed by an engineer on the La
Crosse railroad;
On Wednesday lest, as the train on the
La Crosse railroad was coming east, and
when about mile east of Cambria, the
engineer saw little boy, about 5 years
old, on the track. He Immediately whis
tied to brake, and reversed the engine,
but as it was down grade he soon found
he could not stop the train, which, when
the child was first seen, was under full
motion. The engineer stationed himself
on the fcrepart Of the locomotive and
watching his chance, jumped ahead OF. the
engine, snatching the boy from the track,
and thus saved his life. The train passed
on some distance before it stopped The
name unqualified praise for his noble act.
There are few men who possess the cour-
age and nerve to perform such feat
But he is rewarded for the pleasure, to
such men, of having saved the life of
" some ones little boy" is infinite. Take
it all together it is the best and noblest act
of ngineering we ever heard of.
