ANOTHER GOOD DAIRY

ANOTHER GOOD DAIRY.
Editor of WGichman. With your permis-
sion | will correct an error which appeared
in the Argus of Dec 7. in the dairy line Mr..
William Austin Of Matshfed, has sold 1850
lbs. of choice butter from cows, besides
using all wanted isr family Of Eve persons /;
and has also raised fine calf which he has
refused $50 for, His cows are natives and
Devons crossed. MIR. Austin devotes much
Of bis time in tending bis stock. He believes
in feeding instead Of selling his grain. pota-
toes. and tuinips. We think be is in the right
way to gain wealth. One of the secrets 10
making much butter to the COW is in tax =
ing care OF their milk. Mrs. Austin is a wo-
man who sees to every thing in the house and
yet devotes most of her time to her dairy
room. She was raised on the golden hills Of
Marshfeld, and toe much can not be said in
praise of the way this dairy is managed. We
have few more such nice girls. II by chance
some of the East Montpelier sons should be
in want. please direct them this way.

WAsHINeroN, Feb. Q,
The following is the substance Of a CONVEX
sation which took place yesterday morning
between the President and distinguished
representative, concerning the Presidents
speech OF Wednesday to the negro delegation
which called on him:
The representative said some persons felt,
and others would probably, for personal or
factious ende, erdesvcr to show that the
President was taking sides against the col
ored people, or was at least less favorably
disposed toward them than I've had been.
The President responded that no one could
fairly and truthfully do that. He was now
what he had always been, the friend Of the
poor and the lowly. He had never broken
faith with any body, and II his past course and
his former language were not sufficient
guarantee that be meant well toward the coll
ored people and would endeavor to secure to
them fair chance, nothing he could say or
do now would give any such guarantee. He
thought however that IL was best TO speak
plainly, and be did not believe that the effort
now making by some who call themselves the
negroes special friendt, to force universal
suffrage upon the States, was wise or Judi
oious. He thought 1t tended to embitter
feelings, while our effort should be to cult
waite calmness and confidence. lie believed
it would result in great injury to the pros.
poets Of the colored people. He did not know
whether Mr.. Douglass and his friends expsc-
ted him to talk to them, but he thought it
best to take the opportunity to state his views.
He would repeat that be was, if he knew his
own heart the colored mans friend. He had
great faith in the people, and would endeavor
to carry out their will The representative
then said that some persons might take, or
profess to take, the Presidents speech as an
Indication that he was at variance with his
party friends, and that some others might
endeavor to found upon 1t the charge that he
was preparing to go over.
The President smiled, and answered that
II the party which opposed his election in
dulged in any create expectations on that score,
they were likely to be disappointed He
might differ with individuals Of what was
called the union party as to the means TO be
used, but he considered himself in general ac-
cord with that party, az a whole, in the ends
to be reached. He was not a party man, and
he meant to sink the partisan in the patriot
But, so far as he understood the sentiments
Of the union party, he was in general accord
with it.
The representative finally, after further con-
versation, said something about the distribu-
tion Of offices, about executive patronage.
The President remarked that be was the
servant of the whole people, but be could not

about to quit her rooms, with the three gold

SENATOR FEssENDrN appauded the speech Of
Senator Sumner, but was very severe on the con-
illusions Of that speech against the amendment
TO the Constitution. Mr.. Fessenden cited the fact
that Mr.. Sumner himself proposed like amend
ment on the first day Of the session. and convicted
him Of abandoning it for mere Congressional
declaration, which will not enforce itself il il is
made and will be subject to repeal by any future
Congress. This confirms the opinion we ven
tured to give. that Mr. Summers speech was ex-
cellent, and his plan impracticable.

A TENNESSEE LADY MAKES" HER MARX"
-Gep. Fisk, of the Freedmen's Bureau, in a
speech in Cincinnati the other day, told this
story: " A few weeks ago there came into
my headquarters at Nashville a Tennessee
lady, elegantly attired in silk and velvet, to
talt with me as she said. / gave her u seat.
She took it with an air, and told me she
wanted to recover her property seized by the
Government. She abused it heartily, and
read me lecture on Yankees and Abolition
lists. and exectated them for killing her hus-
band in battle, for he had ouly gone with the
South to fight for its rights. gave her the
circular to read which contains the conditions
OF the Government for claimants to comply
with. She asked me to read it for her.
told her had no time that she had better
read for herself, and then flll up he blanks
provided to prove the legitimacy Of her claim.
Then she admitted that she could neither
read nor write. n
own that while | pitied her, felt a little
mischievious I; so | pointed t. that young
Ohio clerk, and told her he would write ou,
the document for her. She was Mortified,
and asked me with sharpness and asperity.
: can that Niger write !? - Yes madam I
said, and he will attend to the business for
you. With some reluctance, she went 10 his
desk. He siose, bowed, and gave her a seat,
and made out in fine ronnd hand the neces-
sary statement, and then read it for her. 1t
was then offered for her signature, but when
she drew off her glove, and saw splendid
dimond sparkle on her finger as she made her
mark. pitied her hom my heart the SUI
periority of the negro was seen in this sim
pie transaction. efs ~
The poor woman perhaps felt it then her
sell, for she wept. came to her senses, regret
ted her harsh remarks about the Niger ald
went away With ideas more becoming re-
constructed woman than when she came.
