The MODE OF PAPAL ELEcrIoNs.-The Paris cor
respondent of the London Times gives the follow.
ing description of the manner in which the cleo
ton of Pope is effected As it is doubtless new
to most of our readers, it will not but prove inter-
esting:
There were and believe still are, four diferen t
modes Of election-by Inspiration by oonspromiss,
by scrutiny, and by access. By Inspiration which
several of the Cardinals call aloud as if on the i'm
pulse of the moment, the name of the person whom
they judge worthy Of the supreme dignity. 1t is,
however only after long and fruitful deliberaton,
and when there remains no chance of agreement
by merely human means, that recourse is had to
supernatural aid and it has happened that the rest
OF the Cardinals, or majority of them, unwilling
to show decided opposition, or to be the last in
giving their assent at once concur in the choice Of
inspiration. The election by compromise is when,
after equally long and equally fruitess deliberaton
they agree to lay aside their preferences and to
leave the nomination of the Pontiff to one among
themselves. 1t is related that it was in this fash
ion John XIII was chosen. Il got all the Car
dnals to pledge themselves to accept the candidate
he should propose, and to their great surprise, he
proposed himself Taught by the example, for
they had never meant to elect him, the Cardinals
decided that this power should not again be intrus.
ted to any member of the College, except on condi-
tons which would render the recurrence of such an
event impossible. When the election of Pontiff
is by scrutiny or ballot, each Cardinal writes his
own name with that of the candidate he proposes
on ticket These tickets or bulletins are deposited
with much solemnity in the consecrated chalies
which stands on the the altar Of the chapel where
they sit; and each one approaching and leavngt the
altar kneels and repeats prayer. After pause,
the tickets are taken from the sacred cup by off,
GERS named adj hoe from their own body the tick
cts are compared with the number of Cardinals
present. and when it is found that any one of them
has two.thrds of the votes in his favor he is de-
clared elected. If no one can show the requisite
number of votes another proceeding gone through
This proceeding is the election by aecess-so called
because any Cardinal has the right to accede to the
vote of another by altering his ticket according to
prescribed form. The moment the election is de-
clared the tickets are burnt. The present Pope was
elected BY unanimitY.

Ten Rules for Making Butter.

way OF making butter in cool weather: the cream
rises much quicker, the milk keeps much lonesr
the butter is OF better color, and churns in Ono
half the time. 'A'
4. Swimming should always be done before the
milk becomes c"ppered otherwise much of the
cream turns into whey and is lost
5. Churning, whether by hand or otherw;se
should occupy forty or fifty minutes.
g. Washing in cold soft water is one of its pre.
serving qualities, and should be continued until it
shows no color of the milk by the use of the l.de

CHARGE OF TIE TIGHT BRIGADE.

At the bar, at the bar,
At the bar Numbered,
Thundered with fiercer din,
Topers one hundred.
There stood those thirsty men,
Thirsty one hundred.
Calling for drinks in vain,
The bar-keeper slumbered;
Hsrk ! there's a sound from one
List now the curses come
From each and every one!
OF that dry one hundred.
Into the bar they pitch,
Noble old topers,
For up comes an order which
Pleased those old soakers;
Forward the Tight Brigade!
Take the bar" Muggins said,
Into it undismayed,
Pitched now each drunken blade
Pitched the one hundred.
"Forward the Tight Brigade!"
Gods, what charge they made!
No men were afraid
No peripn Numbered.
Theirs but to drink their fill,
Theirs not to pay their bill.
All yes, they knew it we'll
Knowing one hundredl
Bottle to right of them,
Bottle to left of them,
Labeled and numbered;
Nobly thew fought and we'll.
There many hero fell,
Covered with blood and beer,
Beer that they loved SO well,
Gallant one hundred!
Raised now each nose in air,
See what is under there,
Mugs charged with lager beer
All the world wondered!
Flercer the revel grows,
Redder each bleeding nose,
Faster the liquor flows,
Under the table goes,
Half the one hundred
Bottle to right of them,
Bottle to Left of them,
Bottle all around them,
Empticd and sundered;
Out from that dreadful room,
Out from that dark saloon,
Came forth a berry fume,
Came forth dismal moan,
But none of the hundred!
When they awoke again,
Oh how their heads did painl
No person wondered
Honor to the Tight Brigade,
Houor to the charge they made,
Thirsty one hundred!
