ally he settled down to the accordion.
, On that soul stirring article of music
/ he learnt to play that melodious and
popular air Aud Lang Syne." For
about a week he continued to torture
| his unwilling hearers, when being of
an ingenius turn of mind, he endeav-
Ored to improve upon the original
melody by adding some variations of
| his own. But who has ever seen a
real genius succeed yet? just as Mark
had finished his only tune, and wound
UP with an admirable flourish, the
landlady rushed into his room. Said
| she:
. Do you know any other tune but

said she, stick TO it just as 1t IS;
don't put any variations to it; because
it is rough enough on the boarders

The upshot was, that It's rough
ness was soon made manifest, LOT
half the boarders left, and the otner
half would have left, had not the
Iandladv discharged Mark. Then, like
| the wandering Jew, Mr.. Twain went
from house to house. None would
undertake to Keep him after one
nights music; so, at last, in sheer
desperation, he went to board at an
italian lady's-Mrs. Murphy by name.
He says: s

weather and water.

The weather yesterday morning was
clear and swelteringly hot, the mercu-
~ ranging at 90 deg. before 10 o clock,
in the shade and exposed to a light
southeast wind. About 10 o'clock
clouds began to gather and the breeze
strengthened, and was quite generous
and pleasant. The river did not fall
more than five inches during the "a
hours ending at three o'clock yester-
day, and the packets report six feet
scant on the shoalest bar hence to

that we shall have rain speedily.

Butter in Sacks.


A correspondent of the Rock
ford Register, writing from Olym
pia, FgiEes tho method adopted oT
the Pacific coast by the farmers
there to preserve their batter-
Some of our readers will psrhaps
derive an idea from. Il that msy
prove valuable to them.
Think the dairyaian hore have
an art in the ms0agemSnt OF but.
ter, that might bo turned to good
account at tie East, but which |
nover saw practiced till | camo to
this coast. | allude to the manner
Of putting up butter for Market
Perhaps necessity was the mother
of this invention, but that makes
the invention mono the less valua-
bic. Here sach athing as a but
ter firkin or stone jar to pack
butter in, is unknown; bat all.,but-
ter in muslin sacks, made in such
form that the package, when. com
plete, is a cylinder threc or four
inches in diameter and from half
to foot ii length.
The butter goes from the churn,
as worked over, into the cylindrical
bags, made of fine. .bleached muslin.
The packages arc then put into
large casks containing strong brine
with a slight admixture of saltpe-
ter, and by means of weights kept
always below the surface.
The cloth integument always
protects the. butter from ary i'm
purities that charco 10 como in
contact with the package, and be.
ing always buried in brine, that
protects it from the action of the
air; and it has been ascertained by
trial that butter put up in this way
will keep sweet longer than in any
other way, Besides it is found
easier and cheaper for the manu-.
facturer than to pack either in
frkins or jars, Aud for the rc-
taller, there is no telling the ad.
vantage of the score OF saicty aud
convenience.
These rolls Of butter can lie
about his counter as safe from in =
jury, from dust or contact, as bars
of lead-can be rolled up for his
customer in a sheet of paper with
as much propriety as u bundle of
matches. lftbo consumer, when
he gets homo discovers specks of
dust upon tho outside OF the sack, he
can throw it into pail OF pure
cold water and take it out clean
and white. AS no uses the butter
from day to day, with sharp knife
hc cuts it off from tho end of tho
roll in slices of thickness to suit his
wants, peels off the cloth from the
end OF the slice, leaving il in tidy
form TO place upon tho table.
