The Income Tax.

The Income Tax law has gone into the
Courts, at last, on a test Of its constitu-
tiODality. The case arises in the United
States Circuit Court in this city, bin in
equity having been fled by citizen whose
property was levied upon for the amount Of
tax alleged to be due from him to the United
States on account of income The aver
ment in the bills Is that the law conflicts
with that provision of the Constitution
which declares that no capitation or other
direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion
to the census or enumeration hereinbefore
directed to be taken" The argument is set
down for the first Monday in June. The
case will be watched with a great deal of
interest There Is a general belief that the
income tax is unconstitutional, and its pry-
ing, spying, meddling character renders it
peculiarly offensive to the American people.
During the war it was submitted to with a
good grace, as would have been the case
with any tax regarded as necessary for the
prosecution of the war and the support of
the Government But the rebellion has now
been ended more than three years and if
the expenditures of the Government are
kept up on a war scale and the debt and
taxation of the country increased, it is owing
to the blunders, dishonesty, corruption and
incapacity of the men who are governing
the nation. For these the people are not as
willing to be burGened, and they will rejoice
if a tax so odious, un-Amcrican and now so
unnecessary as that upon incomes shall be
swept away by judicial decision.-Phila-

a writer in an exchange says: Not a
week ago We saw a. baby of three months
that had had its tender little ears pierced
and earrings hung from them. Loops Of
gold clasped its sleeves, bracelets were hung
upon its arms, and rings pressed upon its
little fat fingers but the cruelty Of the ear
ring operation was l!ttieshort of barbarous !;
the nurse of the child wept bitterly over it
and protested against it, but the vanity of
the young mother triumphed over every
other consideration. She thought that ear
rings would look 50 cunning upon such
little babe.

Blackberry Wtne-In answer to an in
quiry for the best and most economical
method of making wine" ] viii give my
naodus operGndi After many outside at
tempts l have settled on the following
method: First, secure good berries, good
kegs, for casks, and good Havana sugar
The berries should not be green nor frosted,
but perfectly ripe. The kegs must be per
feetly clean. a good way is to wash with
boiling water and common soda Extract
the juice by pressing in a cider press, or
even a cheese press but do not run the ber-
ries through the apple crusher, as that
breaks many seeds and gives a bad flavor to
the wine. After expressing the juice, strain
through a cloth strainer add to every quart
of Juice three pounds of sugar, and water
sufficient &c MAKE one gallon. total. Add no
less than three pounds Of sugar, otherwise
the wine will grow acid. Place ycnr mix
ture in a kettle, and bring it to boil skim
as soon az it bOils, then allow it to cool, and
FL your kegs about two thirds full, and
keep in moderate cool place.

Working and Washing Butter

Much has been said, says the Country
Gentleman, about working butter, but a
trial of both ways has led us to believe that
in warm weather, better butter can be made
by washing than without On this question,
Andrew Havens, an experienced butter
maker, gives his opinion in a recent Ohio
Cultivator, which we condense for our read
ears as follows: Some say they would rather
leave the milk in the butter than to wash it
that washing makes it rancid bat it is a
mistake Milk that's in butter will surely
sour and the butter become strong, besides
it is as easy to work out the water as the
milk, and if not worked out combines with
the salt to make brine which will help to
keep the butter sweet In cool weather we
can work out the milk very well without
water, but in hot weather we cannot get the
milk out very well without washing, and
hardly with. A great deal of butter is
spoiled by the way it is worked. Some
work it too much-this makes it greasy like
lard, and after standing awhile it turns
white and loose in its flavor When work
ing butter never draw the ladle over it, for
that will make it greasy, but cut and press
with the ladIe to work out the milk. Made
right, butter always stands up, and will cut
smooth and clean, and not daub the knife,
but poor butter win stick to the knife an /
throat Butter should never be packed
down until it is solid, il put down solid
