the celebrated Bucks Brilliant Stove, which, Tor
its excellence in baking, ETC., and for its great

LOCAL POLITICS.


Secretaries OF Democratic Clubs I
Will confer favor upon the editors OF this col
umn by sending to the CRESCENT Office after each
meeting of the several clubs which they represent
a synopsis of the proceedings. We are com
pelIed to ask this from them, as the rapidly in
creasing number of Democratic clubs in the city
render it impossible for q local force, however
large, to attend every meeting. We wish to make
this column complete compendium of loca
political intelligence, and, with the aid of oul
friends, will certainly do so. But such assistance
is necessary. We trust that the Democrats of th'
city will give it. ..

" About Butter.o

What shall be done with old Christ
Graham ? In an agricultural address at
Red Wing, lately, he broke out as fol-
lows
81 am a tolerably old man-have
travelled some, and have tasted, gastron-
omically, all grades of butter in twenty
three States, three Territories, Canada
and Mexico, and truth compels me to
positively assert that | never saw or tas-
ted as superlatively mean butter in all
my travels and experiments as | have in
this county. The fault is not in the
cream, for great many persons ia this
county make excellent butter.
How such mean butter can be made
is almost incomprehensible.
Women evidently have no hand in
in it, and for that matter, no one else.
for its peculiar flavor bears strong evil
dence that feet instead of hands have
been in it.
{" l have, after much reflection and
thoughtful consideration, come to the
conclusion that the mcdus operandG must
be in this wise
The cream is kept IN an uncovered
swill barrel till it is sufficiently spoiled
and odoriferously funky, then churned
with an unwashed garden rake, then the
butter is carefully lifted out with sta
BILE fork, worked in hog-troueh, and
sailed with fish brines. | cannot con-
ceive of any other possible way to make
such butter. To illustrate its quality
and effect l will tell you what happened
at my house.
!" About three years ago | bought a
pound of this kind of butter from my
old friend LcLashen, who, in his trading
days had, by persevering industry, mo-
nopoized the trade in this kind of but
ter. After desperate struggle-for it
was tremendously strong for so small a
lump, succeeded in getting it home
That pound of butter was set on the ia
bic three times day for three consecu-
tive months, without any perceptibe d.
intuition Of its bulk. Despairing of its
consumption, through human agency,
and being unwilling to spoil the soap
greace by dumping it into the grease
key, and being determined to get rid Of
it by some means, put it into the cellar,
which was ut that time more than half
full of rats. The night following there
was an unusual excitement in ratdom, as
the cellar was very appropriately called.
Such squealing, snufiing and running
as they kept up the fore part of that
night, sufpasses my powers of descrip-
ton. Towards morning, however, all
was as still and silent as death, or the
Democrats since the Ohio election.
1.-The next morning | went into the
cellar and found the butter apparently
untouched. But upon close obserya-
ton, | found several slight traces Of rats
teeth upon its surface. The non des-
truction of the butter did not startie me
very remarkably, but what followed did,
for there has not been a single ra. in that
cellar since that night"

~ Gov. BRowNLow, of Tennessee,
in his annual message, which appeared
on the 10th inst, suggest that the cleo
tive franchise in Tennessee be further ex-
tended so as to include certain classes of
those who participated in the rebellion,
and are under the present laws of that
State disfranchised. He says that all are
not equally culpable or untrustworthy.
lie woald have the franchise extended to
those who were Involuntary driven into
the service of the rebellion, and who,
since its utter failure, have given evidence
that they accept the result in good faith |:
that they are good citizens, quiet and
law-abiding; that they have strictly OBJ
served their parole, and that they will
not use political power to prescribe and
degrade those whom the war has eman-
cipated and invested with the rights of
citizens.

JENNY LIND AND THE BIRD.-I re-
member hearing a stage drivers story of
Jenny Lind when she was riding in the
country. A bird of brilliant pumage
perched on a tree near as they drove
slowly along, and triIled out such com
plication of sweet notes as perfectly as
tonished her. The coach stopped, and
reaching out she gave one of her finest
routades. The beautiful creature arched
its head on one side aud listened defer
entially; then as if determined to excel
his famous rival, raised his graceful
throat anil sang a song Of ripPling melo-
dy that made Jenny rapturously clap her
hands in ecstacy, and quickly, as if she
were before severely critical audience
in Castle Garden, delivered some Tyro-
lean mountain strains that sent the echoes
flying, whereupon Little Birdie took up
and sang till Jenny in happy delight ac-
knowledged that the pretty woodland
warbler decidedly outcaroled the great
Swedish Nightingale.

Because | ask it of you as favor,
and you have said thousand times that
you would never deny ne anything"
"And | will keep my word, Mary"
said the lover husband with an affection
ate kiss. "I'll write the fellow a note
this very evening. l believe I've got his
address somewhere about me-"
An hour or two later, when Bobby
and Frank and little Minnie, were tucked
snugly up in bed in the spacious nursery
above stairs, Mrs. Autley told her hus-
band wAy she was interested in the fate
of man whose face she had not seen
for twenty years.
"That's right, my little wife" said
her husband folding her fondly to his
breast, when the simple tale was conclu
ded, "never forget one who has been
kind to you in the days when you need
ed kindness most"
Raj phi Moore was sitting the self-same
night in his poor lodgings, beside
his ailing wife's sick bed, when liver
led servant brought note from the rich
and prosperous bank director, Charles
Autley.
" Good news, Bertha!" he exclaimed
joyously, as he read the brief words.
+" We shall not starve-Mr. Autley
promises me the vacant situation"
You have dropped something from
the note. Ralph" said Mrs. Moore, point
ing to a slip of paper that lay on the
floor.
Moore stopped to recover the estray.
1t was fifty dollar bill neatly folded in
a piece of paper, on which was written:
" In grateful remembrance of the sill
yer quarter that kind stranger bestow-
on the little chestnut girl, twenty years
ago."
Ralph Moore had thrown his morsel
of bread on the waters of life, and after
many days it had returned.

What Leads to Dissipation.

Gail Hamilton" says many good and
sensible thing. Here is an extract which
we commend to those who are shocked
at card playing and dancing
at is not whist or dancing that harms
young people. 1t is outlawry. Whist
does not lead to gambling, dancing does
not lead to dissipation. 1t is playing
cards "on the sly that leads to gam
bling. 1t is having to get out of the
way of minister and church members,
all religious people, when dancing is to
be done, that leads to dissipation. 1t is
loneliness want of interest and amuse-
ment, any unjust and unnatural restric
ton, and that leads to all manner of wild
and boisterous and vicious amusement
which prey upon the SOUL"

HAY FOR Mich Cows.-The Maine
Farmer is informed by Mr.. Amherst AL
den, of Bangor, who keeps eight or nine
cows, and carries their milk to the city,
that from his experience in feeding mich
cows he is satisfied that cows fed on hay
cut from the 9Th to the 10th of July
would give nearly double the amount of
milk that the same cows would give kept
on hay cut from the 25th to 30th of the
month. In 1867 Mr.. Alden sold some
thing over thousand dollars worth of
milk from nine cows.

READING FOR FARMER BoYs.-An in
teligent and thrifty farmer says: But
for the co cooperation of my boys | should
have failed. | worked hard and SO did
they. The eldest is near twenty-one, and
other boys in the neighborhood, younger,
have left their parents; mine have stuck
to me when | most needed their services.
| attribute this to the fact that l have
tried to make home pleasant for them.
have furnished them with attractive and
useful reading; and when night comes
and the days labor is ended, instead OF
running with other boys to the railroad
station and adjoining towns, they gather
around the great lamp and become alb
sorbed in their books and papers"
Such is substantially the testimony Of
farmer who has known how hard the
struggle for footing on FREQ soil with
out capital is, and how valuable and
comparatively cheap are the aids which
good reading brings to him.

! hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen: that when
We climb to heaven, It's on the rounds
OF love to men.
hold all else named piety
A selfish scheme. vain pretense;
Where center Is not, can there be
circumference:
This I moreover hold. and dare affirm
Where'er my rhyme may go:
Whatever things be sweet or ialr,
Love makes themso
Whether il be the lullabies
That charm to rest the nesting bird.
Or some sweet confidence of signs,
And bushes without word;
Whether the dazzling and the flush
OF softly sumptuOus garden bowers,
Or by some cabin door, or bush
OF ragged flowers.
IT'S not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast, or stated prayers,
That make US saints We judge the treo
By what il bears.
And when a man can live apart
From work. on theologic trust,
know the blood about his heart
