The Twisting of lAe Republican n

"?Yheel about, turn about do iist so,
And every time you wheel about jump Jim Crow"
NEGRO MELODY.
The Toledo Times mentioning the inconsis-
tcncics of Repubicanism, gives a detailed ac
count Of their "wireing in and wireing out'' on
the different political questions of the day. 1t
says:
In Congress, Seward and J. R. Giddngs, the
front and rear of Abolition Republcanism, and
and most other obnoxious political isns, voted
for the Crittenden Montgomery Kansas bill,
which allowed the people of Kansas to have sla-
very if they desired it,
This was considered coming out flat footed, in
favor of the doctrine Of popular sovereignty
But 'change has come over the spirit of then
dream" of the leaders of the Republican
party; they find that it will not do for them
to adopt the same ground that Douglas does,
who is the great advocate of popular sovereign
ty, hence VIC see them at their last State Con-
vention held in this State, refusing to endorse
the Republican members OF Congress- who vot-
ed for the Crittendcn Montgomery Amendment
to the Kansas bill.
And hence too, we see them at the same
State Convention re-affirmng the old exploded
doctrine of Congressional Intervention,
What will be the next move of the Republi
cans? Al one time they may raise the banner
of popular sovereignty--but like
'Old John Doosenbury with forty thousand msn,
Marched up the hill, then marched down again.
There is no ground on which it is safe tc
take them-they arc always in opposition tt
those who do not swallow in full their doctrine
and worship in their synagogue.

E3itor Depvocrat:- james B. Anderson, law
yer from Kentucky, came to this Township on
visit to his sister, who he had not seen since
he was a child He brought with him cOlored
girl, as Nurse. The girl (accordng to her
own story had been free for about two years
previous to the time she had left Kentucky
About one week after Mr.. Anderson's arrival in
New Lyme crowd quite sufficient to form an
abolition Regiment" repaired TO the house
where the "Airican youth" was stopping, and
demanded the "Lady."
MIR. Anderson told the "pale Kinkics" that
the girl was free; that she owed him no SER
xice, in this or a slave state, and further, she
could go with them if she wished. The philan-
thropists approached the girl with all the dig
nifty, belonging to their calling, and informed
hersthat she should so with them. Her an
swer was, go a0a' from me, yoW 10 life aohite
man" After using all the persuasion in their
power, to induce the girl to go with them, they
quit the premises, Sfor the time, being. But the
"Palo Kinkies" were not thusto be daunted.-
They repaired in few days to Jefferson

with, instanter, Immediately, ifnot sooner, be-

To make long story short, the girl was de.

smart, and another proofo the superior intel

The girl has been free for over two years, bu
is now being handed round on gloves, as fugi
tive that they have liberated; and they have
succeeded in making the girl believe that sht

TI,e Astor House Farnl.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Picnyule
gives the following account ofa recent visit to
the farm which feeds the Astor House:
A few days ago accepted the invitation of
mine host Of the Astor to accompany him to the
farm, which is carried on for the purpose ofsup-
milk, fresh vegetables, poultry, and other pro-
Want. 1t is beautifully and healthfully situated
on an elegant ridge in Union Village, New Jer-
sey, which lies midway between this city and
Newark, with the Passaic running in the rear
and the Hackensack in front.e 1t contains some
two hundred and forty acres of highly produc-
tive land which is under admirable cultivation;
am, although it has been but ayear since it was
Lana out for its present purpose, it is most sue
cessfully fulfilling the desingns ofits projectors
and droprictors.
OF the several departments of the farm, I was
particularly pleased with those appertaining to
the dairy. During my visit 'the kline cam
hame" from their summer days rambles in
pleasant pastures, and were stabbed tor the
night Over forty Of the finest looking cows
ever saw, and evidently in the healthest condi-
ton, having partaken OF their evening meal, Of
which the ingredients are chopped timothy
grass and cotton seed meal, and having been
we'll watcred, yielded their usual generous con-
tributon Of pure milk, which being put into
shining cans, was ready for transportation to
the city early the next morning. | forget how
much this yield amounts to daily, but it is
enough and more than enough for all the purpo-
ses (and they are many for which milk is re-
quired at the Astor House.
And it was gratifying too, as temporary
sojourner at that hotc to have the same occu-
lar and practical demonstration Of the fact that
such other delicate and luxurious necessaries
as eggs, poultry and vegetables served up on its
tables are daily derived like the milk from orig.
inal sources. The poultry department is a Gu
riosity worth going from York to Jersey to see
1t has its special superintendent, who seems tc
be as proud, as he is evidently worthy, of hE
his charge. An open enclosure OF some acres
and well irrigated by natural springs, is devoted
to innumerable families of varied feathers, geese
ducks, guinea fowl, turkeys, cocks and hens
rambling about in their extended domain, al
well fed and prolific, and making most Of the
little lives they live, for their own first, ant
then for mans enjoyment. AT night they g.
home 10 spacious aviary, where the arrange
ments for roosting are as comfortable as those
that are proverbally provided for the unfeather
ed bipeds at the Astor. In the same extensive
department there is a constant session of "a per

houselet, patiently experimenting the interest

The Philosophy OF CHlurnims.

The cream ofmilk is in the form of minute
globules, the oily or buttery matter being cover
ed with thin coating of casein, something lii o
the yolk fan egg. The object of churning is
to break these globules which it effects part by
the increase ofthe temperature and partly by
the agitation. During the operation of churn-
ing the heat generally rises from five to ten de-
grees. In cold weather it is sometimes neces-
sary to raise the temperature of the cream by
pouring in hot water or by some other means,
and those who have had much experience in
churning, know from weary experience that it
is impossible to make butter "come" with cold
cream. The agitation is necessary, but the heat
is indispensable TO break the globules Of cream
and form butter. Where the cream is raised by
placing milk over the fire, the globules are bro
ken by the heat alone and the butter is formed
without much churning. 1t can be finished or
"gathered"ina few minutes in wooden bowl,
with ladle or in the churn. Butter thus made
is relished by many for present use, though
apt to have an oily taste. It is not made
in this way, in quantities or for preservation, in
this country, that VIC have learned.
! In Devonshire, England, where much butter
is made, and of very superior quality, system
somewhat similar is practised. AS soon as the
milking and skimmipg processes arc over, the
warm new milk is placed in brass pan. A
small quantity of cold water is placed in the pan
and here it stands in the day time for SIX hours
or at night till the following morning. 1t is
then carefully placed near slow fire, so as to
be heated to certain point, but not permitted
to boil. 1t is delicate matter to have fire
just brisk enough to prevent the milk from
curdling in summer, and still not so hot as tc
cause it to heave or boil. A firm consistency
on the surface, and tough consolidated appear
ance are the criterions usually depended upor
for the proper amount ofheat. When sufficient
ly scalded, the pan and its contents are remov,
ed to a cool place in summer, and covered ovel
until cool, with wooden cloth in winter, wher
the cream is taken of. The churning may
then either be performed at once, or delayed
day or two. The process of churning is very
simple; the cream is placed in wooden bowls i
is then briskly stirred by the hand or by !,
''whisk' ofpecled willows, until the buttermill
separates from the butter, which is usually ef
fected in some ten minutes.
We have never eaten butter made in this way
that we thought frst-rate and always consid
cred it injured by the heating. Butter, too, w
think, is injured in the same way by too rapil
churning The fact that one churn win make
butter in a shorter time than another. is n,
evidence its superiority as It's rapid action maj
raise the temperature higher than is necessar,
or beneficial. "A / 8i tEBlH

Several years ago, the proprietor of wood
yard Cup the coast' was taken in and done for
by two or three Cincinnati steamers, whose Cap
tans had patronizcd him literally "on tick
and unfeeingly passed his yard afterwards with.
ut stopping In his vexation at this he made
u3 his mind thenccforth not to deal on
any terms with any boat hailing from Porkopo-
lis.
He left the wood yard at night in charge OF a
trusty negro; and to his negro he impaired full
instructions about the Cincinnati boats, which
instructions were not TO sell wood to the said
boats on any terms. "Oh yes, massa," was the
reply, II knows EN- all mighty well, dey amt
mono OBJ 'em can tool dis nigga!" We may here
state, parenthctically, that though the river
darkies can't read signs and names, many OIL
them have far better knowledge ofboats--thc
trades they belong to, their names, etc., than
their white masters. A negro finds out boats
name, takes in the "cut of her jib," and always
afterward will recognize that boat at distance
which renders the telescope necessary to the
white peoples scrutiny.
Jack had not tended the wood yard many
ghts after receiving the extraordinary instruc.
tions of his master about Cincinnati boats, be
fore Cincinnati boat came sliding up for sup
plies The night was very dark; but the fam
ing pitch pine torch on the boats forecastle dis
closed her character sufic iently for Jacks pur
poses. Seeing Jack on the bank with his Ian
tern in his hand, the Captain hailed him
"How do you sell that wood?'
"Dosen't sell tat all, rnassa,' answered Jack
doesn't sell it to you for no moncy!'
"What do you mean, you black rascal p roar
ed the Captain, ''ifyou give me any lip, I'll lane
and tie you up, and give you hundred! Wha

"Better trabble on, massa--old massa toll

"Can't fool dis niggal" responded Jack, with
a chuckle, "bctter trabble on, massa-I seed d.

Jack was correct-and the Captain travelled

Corn. n. on Sense Yoang Ladies.

If young ladies only knew it, they would
be making themselves far more attractive in the
eyes ofsensible persons OF the other sex, by
showing that they are not afraid Of performing
little labor, than by mawkiSh impression
that theyare above work. Young men of brains
while of course despising that slavery which
would continually keep the ladies at the wash
stand or at the sewing table, without amuse-
ment or relaxation at all, love to see desire in
young ladies' to make themselves useful, and in
selecting wife would vastly prefer such one
1t is ALA mistaken point that ladies need to bc
dressed in furs, silks, and feathers, to win the
admiration ofyoung men. We know Of hal
dozen renowned men who fell in love with theiI
wives when dressed in plainest clothing.
Alta late ball in Baltimore gentleman (prob.
ably not one Of the codfish aristocracy,) having
danced with young lady whose attractions,
both personal and conversational, seemed to
have made an impression upon his sensibilities
asked to have the pleasure of seeing her on tho
following evening VI
"Why no, sir" replied the fair one, n shall
be engaged to morrow evening; but I'll tell you
when you can see me-" @,E aamas p.i
sa"I shall DO most happy" exclaimed the
stricken swine. :.a
"Well, on Saturday" !" resumed the lady, you

The gentleman went, saw the usefulness ol
the lady, was still more enhanced with her, and
they were married shortly afterwards.
