A F1GHrING PARsoN.-The VT. Cavalry has
abou, as plucky Chaplain as there is in the
servise. He frequently accompanies scouting
parties, and his horse is one of the heetest in
the regiment, he is often in advance of the party
when there are rebels to be chased. Not long
since in the Shenandoah valley, Chaplain
Woodward, single handed, ran down and capt
ured two of Ashbys Cavalry, and would have
bagged third il it had not been for the unfor-
tunate circumstance that while drawing his
pistol to send leaden messenger after flying
rebel who would not heed his summons to sur
render, the Chaplain shot his own horse through
the neck The horse was not very seriousl
wounded however, and the Chaplain regained
the regiment, bringing his two captves with
him-Free Press.
Few men that we wot of have their heart and
soul more engaged in crushing the rebellion
than Chaplain Woodward. He is stern old
Puritan bent on discomfting wrong where
ever he meets it-clerical duties Aon't stand in
his way when he gets a chance to''pop" rebel.

upon everything that comes from abroad, or V
grown at home taxes upon the raw material
and upon every fresh value that is added to 1t
by the industry Of man taxes on the sance
that pompars mans appetite, and the drug chat
brings him to health on the ermine which decor
ates the Judge, and the rope which hangs the
criminals on the poor mans salt, and the rich
mans spices on the brass nails of the coffin,
and the ribbons of the bride. Taxes we never
escapes at bed or board, couchant or leyant,
we must pay. The schoolboy whips his taxed
horse, with taxed bride upon a taxed road
and the dying Englishmen, pouring his medi-
cine, which has paid seven per cent, into a
spoon that has paid fifteen per cent; filings
himself back upon his chiltz bed which has
paid twenty-five per cent, makes his will upon
an eight pound stamp, and expires in the arms
of an apothecary who has paid license of q
hundred pouHds for the privilege of putting
him to death. His whole property is immedi-

The ART OF WAR.-The newspapers that
ignore science in war seem to have an idea that
marching brave army upon fortified works is
all that is necessary to reduce them, and that
an assault is equivalent to victory at all times.
1t REQUIRES an astonishing amount Of faith IN
the courage, determination, discipline and eff
cheney of the troops on one side, and cores
ponding dstrust of the like qualities in the
troops of the other. to reach this comfortable
doctrine. In the present campaign, every cal
culation based on such fiatter ng distinction
has feiled, as it has deserved toi and now we
find both sides acting with some wholesome re-
gard to the strength and fighting qualities OF
each other.

SAINT CRoIx.-Denmark still possesses three
Islands in the West Indies St Thomas and
St. John in the Virgin group, and st. Croix or
Santa Cruz, TO which Denmark wishes to re-
move our black freed men. The former is well
known to American merchants as a free port
and the seat of an active trade. In 1907, du-
ring the Napoeonic wars, England captured
these three Islands, and held them until 1914,
when they were restored to the Danes, who had
abandoned their French alliance. St. Croix is
a small island, twenty-four miles in length and
nine in breadth, containing about four thousand
white inhabitants. 1t is highly cultivated, but
its cultivation may be greatly extended. 1t has
little commerce OF its own, but it is trequented
by few foreign vessels. In lS43 it was visited
by eight briggs, three barks and two schooners
from the United States, and this is about the
average annual number. Their inward cargoes,
sold at Frederickstadt, amounting in value to
only $4,000 in that year, and the outward to
S32 ,432, and at Christanstadt they were nearly
the same.
There is great want on the island of me-
chanics, especially those capable of constructing
vessels, ship yards, docks and railways. The
usual wages given laborers are 1925 per day.
In all respects but size it is inferior to St.
Thomas, which is but IS miles in circum!e !erence,
and lies little further north. Its products,
like those of the adjacent islands, consist Of
sugar, cotton, coffee, ginger, pimento, cocoa,
drugs, tobacco, fruits, &c.
The sugar production mostly re.appeares
broad in the shape of what is called "Old Santa
Cruz" and it is evident that the Danish gov.
ernment finds it profitable enough to be in
creased. The sugar is also well known in our
markets. Travellers described Frederickstadt,
the capital, as being very interesting and
agreeable place, and the government as being
quite paternal. No doubt it requires more Ia
Dor to give st. Croix its true value to the Dan
ish crown.-N. Evening Post.

How THE RICHEST MAN IN New YORK
SPENDS His TIME.-A correspondent of the
Rochester Democrat sketches the richest man
in New York in this manner:
Mr.. Astor's Office is in Prince street. near
Broadway, where he may be found daily be-
tween the hours of "nne and three" He is a
large, stout-built man, with coarse features,
stiff, rough, sandy -colored hair, and cast of
countenance of very ordinary type. He
dresses plainly but neatly, has somewhat
careworn look, and appears to be fifty or sixty
years of age. His private office is of modern
size and of plain furniture. On a table are
few books, and on opening that one which ap
pears most thumbed, you perceive that it is
volume of maps of city property, carefully and
elegantly executed, and, as whole, embracing
the sundres of an enormous estate, estimated
at over S25, 100000. Mr.. Astor resides in La
fayette Place, in one of row of buildings which
twenty-five years ago were the grandest in the
city, though now they are dstanced by the pal
aces of the Fifth Avenue. Near by is the mag
nifcent lhrery founded by his father, to which
he has added fund nearly equal to the origi-
nal endowment Here he spends part of his
time, the remainder being occupied by his du-
ties in the Prince street Office where, Sundays
excepted, he does full days work every day in
lne week. lHus lHe NIlole VI NV
the richest man in America is walk to and
from home Of a half mile and close attention
to business.
The care of Mr.. Astor's estate is vast bur-
den. He has several hundred tenants of all
grades, from the $500 cottage to the $4,000
store. To relieve himself of this vexatious du
ty, he has committed it for years to an agent
who does the work well. He collects rents anC
makes quarterly returns, and thus pays over
sum which would be almost Incredible, anC
which we may rightly estimate at S300,OOO pc
] annum. This man employees a small army o
painters, carpenters and other mechanics, il
, order to keep up repairs, and superntends tn
whole of this department. As large part o
Mr.. Astor's property consists of vacant lot
/, which are in continued demand, and which h
$ will not sell, he is much employed with archi
" tects and master builders, and generally ha
I one or two large blocks in course of erection 9
a time. This is very serious burden. Ill
son John Jacob is quite q business men, an
g bears his share of the load In addition
the collection of interest in bond dividends, etc
: is heavy item, since in the little brick ofhC
= (which is. of course, fre-proof) there are se'
- eral millions of Government and State secur
- ties. His daily income is computed at $50
a 1t is said that certain person felicitated NJ
~ Astor on his wealth. Pointing to his piles
4 bonds, maps, etc., the capitalist replied "Ho
would you like to manage all these matters I
os your board and clothes Pr The man demurr,
q. to the idea. "Sir," said the other, sit is all
n get" Mr.. Astor, it is said, gives but lit
ct away.

any portion OF the milk is heated up to a high |
temperature for the purpose of warming the
whole mass of milk, the buttery portions of
this part are displaced and changed into oil,
and will not readily enter into the curd, but
will pass off with the whey.
shall presently speak of another loss Of
cheese, in using the hands only for breaking
and working the curd. If the process so far
has been conducted Alright, as regards heat and
the quantity Of rennet used, the curd has FIRM
consistency, but is not tough and on raising a
portion with the finger readily splits apart
The whole mass is now cut into perpendicular
columns with the cutter, and allowed to stand
ten minutes, when it is divided into smaller
parts, and after few minutes if the whey has
formed rapidly, and the curd sinks, a gentle
heat is bugun to be applied to the whole mass.
At this stage the temperature is determined by
the thermometer, that heat may not be applied
too rapidly, and the whole mass is slowly and
gently worked with the cutter, that every por-
ton may be equally affected this is continued
until the mass indicates temperature of 100
degrees, when heating is discontinued The
mass may be held at this point for a reasonable
time, in order 10 cook the curd sufficiently, but
should not be raised above it.
The time of scalding or cooking the curd
varies with temperature of the atmosphere,
from one and quarter to two hours. From
the time the heat is first applied to the time
when the curd is sufficiently cooked, at least
one hour should have interviewed; 100 long as
well as too short process being attended with
loss.
The cutter is used instead of the hands in
working the curd, because it divides the mass
more evenly and in smaller parts because it is
not so liable to bruse the curd and press out
the oily particles; because it more perfectly

LETTER FROM HON. Fl. p. WALTON.


the following letter from its editor, the Mem
Der of Congress from the 1st District. The
first part of The letter indicates some very sat
isfactory Improvements in the fugitive slave law;
and the second is reply to an unwarrantabe
criticism made on Mr.. Walton's official conduct
by the New York Tribune, the occasion of
which was substantially as follows; The House
Committee on Printing, Of which Mr.. Walton
lie chairman, recently recommended the pur-
chase of one hundred sets of the Eannels and
debates of Congress, for the Congressional Ii
brary, at an expense of about $4,000. A
resolution to that effect was introduced and it
passed the House, but was subsequently re con-
sdered and tabled. This work is now out of
print, and as it is the only authentic record of
the debates of Congress down to the time
(withn few years. when they were reported
verbatim, its value is inestmabe. In recon-
mending their purchase we are fully satisfied
that Mr.. Walton's course was eminenlly wise
and proper, but the Tribune thought different
ly Accordingly the Tribune "pitched in," and
on its favorite instrument-"a harp of thou
sand strings"-ployed a variation of It's stan
dard tune, economy and retrenchment. The
consistency of the Tribune and the business Of
its criticisms are well set forth BY Mr.. Walton
in his letter, which, is as follows:
