poured into about n pallful of hot water,
and when hot the lard added. After
boiling 1t thoroughly together for an
lard was taken oil when nearly cold and
was consequently "boiled up" Tho color

the lard was as sweet rs q rose.

The enemies Of che Republican party are
trying to make political capital out OF the
views expressed by Gen. Butler in his con-
versation with Mr.. Redpath, and by the lat
ter reported for the Boston Advertiser. They
attempt to show that the Radical politician
endorses the atrocious scheme for repudia-
lion devised BY Pendleton and supported by
think OF drawing that inference from Gen.
Buffers statements, whatever they might
think of the wisdom of his views. The fol-
lowing extract from letter written by him
to the Boston Advertiser shows very clearly
the futiity of attempting to establish an
identity of sentiment between him and MIR.

Mr.. Pendleton desires the government By an
exercise of its supreme power to issue an
amount of its promises to pay on demand
without interest lie, legal tenders) and force
its creditors by interest-bearing bonds TO take
such issue in payment. OF course such issue
would at once depreciate the currency, and
would be virtual repudiation, which, have moi

offer to the country a new loan, secured by in

to which all fnture issues OF government loans

This witty story is founded on one ofthe
queer theories-or rather hints at theoriesAoc-
casionally flung out by scientific men when, in
their dim cropping after the secrets of nature,
they stumble upon some new and suggestive
fact. The theory which is here presented as
that Of a certain German Professor Meiser, is
briefly that all living beings are like watches,
organisms which move, breathe, noufish them
selves and reproduce themselves as long, as
their organs are intact and perfectly oiled. The
oil eff the watch is represented in the animal
by an enormous quantity Of water In man,
for example, water provides about four fifths Of
the whole weight. Given--a colonel weighing
hundred and fifty pounds, there are thirty
pounds of colonel and twenty pounds of water.
Therefore if you dry man skillfully, with
out injury to the machine, he may be preserved
for a hundred years, and return 70 life when
ever any one will take the trouble to properly
soak him in water. This story relates the adl-
ventures of a certain Faungs, a colonel OF
dragons under the first Napoleon, who was
scientifically dried into a mummy in the year
1913, knocked about like any other dusty
specimen for forty-six years, and then resusci-
tated by a lot of Tarisian sdUdns in 1859. He
returns to life as young. and vigorous as he
was at the time he was 'desiccsted, to all APP
pearancea registering, swashbuckIer fellow Of
twenty-five or thirty, though in reality he is
seventy years of age He Is a living anachron-
ism, and this whimsical situation affords M.
About an opportunity of presenting to US IN
sharp contrast the widely different spirit Of
the First and Second Empires. There is in
finite humor in this portion of the book; it is
| as droll as anything in "The King of the
| Mountlins." The resuscitated colonel falls in
love with his own granddaughter, the betroth-
| ed of the young man who has been chiefly i'm
| strumental in his restoration; and the latter
| finds the creature he has brought back to life
as unmanageable and almost as dangerous
as Frankensteins monster. For the denoue-
nsert of the story we refer our readers to the

The Farmers Taxes.

She following important decisions
have recently been given by the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue at
~ ashington:
/. Farmers will not be required to
make return Of produce consumed in
their own immediate families.
2. The farmers profits from sales
Of live stock are to be found by de-
Quoting from the gross receipts for
animals sold, the purchase money
for paid the same. If animals have
been lostduring the year by death or
robbery, the purchase money paid for
such animals may be deducted from
the gross products of the farm.
3. 10 deductions can be made by
the farmer for the value of services
rendered by bis minor children,
whether be actually pays for such
services or not If adult children
work form him and receive conlpen-
sation for their labor, they are to be
regarded as other hired laborers in
determining his income.
d. Money paid for labor, except
such IS is used or employed in domes-
tao service, or in the production of
articles consumed in the family of the
producer, may be deducted.
5. No deduction can be allowed in
any case for the cost funproductive
labor. If house servants are employ
ed portion ofthe time in productive
labor, such rs the making of butter
and cheese, for sale; proportionate
amount Of the wages paid them may
be deducted
6. Expenses for diteding and clear
ing new land are plainly expenses for
permanent Improvement and not de-
Quoted.
Z. The whole amount expended for
fertilizers applied during the gear to
the farm may be deducted, but no de,
duction is allowed for fertilizers pro-
duced on the farm. The cost of seed
purchased in sowing and planting
may pc deducted.

CoNTAGIoUsNESs OF CHAMBERS
Regarding the contagiousness of
CHAMBERS, Mr.. Percival submits the
following deductions as the result of
facts CLEANED from his own expert
once;
/. That farcy and CHAMBERS, which
constitute the same disease, and prop
Sgatcd through the medium of sta
bling and this we believe to be the
more usual way in which the disease
is communicated from horse to horse.
2. That infected stabling may bar
Dor and retain the infection for
months and even years and although
by thoroughly cleansing and making
use of dis>infeGting mcans, the conta-
gion might be destroyed, yet it would
not be wise to occupy such stables
Immediately after such supposed or
alleged dis injection.
B. That the virus, or poison OF CLAN
ders, may lie for months in a state
of incubation in the horses consti-
tuition before the disease breaks out.
OF this we have had the most posi-
tive evidence.
4 That when stable Of horses
becomes contaminated, the disease
often makes fearful ravages among
them before it quits; and it is only
after a period Of several months ex-
emption from all disease of the kind
that q clean bill Of health can be rem
dered,
