COOP ILLUsrRATIoN.-The New York Tribune,
in an article on Johnson's plea for endeavoring
to remove Stanton, says =" Mr.. johnson bases
his defense as set forth in his message to the
Senate, on three points, viz: First, that in re-
moving Stanton he obeyed the Tenure-of-O Office
law secondly that in the same act he disobey-
ed the law in order to test its consttutionality
thirdly, that there was no opportunity for him
to obey or disobey the law, since it had no ap-
plication whatever to the case of Mr.. Stanton.
Mr. johnson seems to have borrowed his defense
from that of the defendant in the kettle case,
who plead that the kettle in question was
cracked when he borrowed it, that it was whole
when he returned it, and that he never had
known of such a kettle, and did not believe
there ever was any. 1t is sometimes possible for
a man to get too many points in his case, and
we think Mr.. johnson has few too many in
his

The STATE Coz vENrIoN. = That perfect har-
mony exists in the Union party of this
State, is the most important and pleasing fact
elected by the recent session of our State Con-
vention. But above all else, and as
assuring sweeping triumph in the coming cam
paign, stands the fact that past anmosites and
dissensions, that led to humiitating defeat at
the last election, no longer exist. With the un-
broken front as rendered certain by the spirit ex-
hibited throughout the proceedings of the Con-
venton, and with him who now stands first in
the minds and hearts of American citizens as our
standard-bearer, California is as certain to roll
up $4,000 majority for the Union ticket as is any
decree of the fates.-Amador Ledqer.

RATHER SPIcy.-A lady being invited to send
ton of the Pilgrim Fathers furnished the follow
ing. 1t is spicy enough to flavor half dozen
anniversary dinners -" The Pilgrim Fathers,
forsooth What had they to endure in compar-
ison to the Pilgrim Mothers? 1t is true that
they had hunger, and cold, and sickness, and
danger-foes within and without-but the un-
fortunate Pilgrim Mothers they had not only
these to endure, but they had the Pilgrim Faith
ers also and yet their names are never men,
toned. Whoever heard of the Pilgrim Mothers
Whoever gave dinner in honor of them? Who
ever writes songs, drinks toasts and makes
speeches in recollection of them? This self
suficiency of the men is beyond endurance.
One would actually suppose that New England
had been colonized by men, and prosperity pro-
vided for by special providence.

To MAKE RANCID BUTTER SwEET-The follow
ing recipe has appeared in a number of our ex-
(about half teaspoonful of liquor of chloride
of lime. Wash in this two and half pounds of
rancid butter. When every particle of the but
ter has come in contact with the water, let it
stand an hour or Two, then wash the butter well
in pure water. The butter is then left without
an odor, and has the sweetness of fresh butter.
These preparations Of lime have nothing injuri-
GUS in them. The editor of the Rural World
says he procured some of the most rancid butter
he could find at a butter store in St. Louisiana
he says it was bad enough for any stomach that
had more sensibilty than wagon wheel-and
he doctored it according to the above recipe, and
when placed on the table along with good but
ter, very able judges could not distinguish which
was the new butter. Here is fact worth more
than a years subscription, to any paper.

FEMALE CuRIosITY.--In a certain pleasant
town. in the county of Surrey, there is-or was
three years ago-a cricket-ground nearly sur
rounded by houses. One fine morning, just after
the great Dngley Dell match had been played,
the secretary received a letter from lady of a
certain tender age, the proprietor of one OF these
adjacent houses, declaring that her delicacy had
repeatedly been afronted by the sight of gentle
men in every stage of nudity" putting on
their cricketing fannels in the open dressing
tent just before her windows. Would the sec
retary, therefore, she entreated, make arrange
ments for ridding her of this disgusting specta-
Gle? The secretary of the club is the pink of
politeness. He wrote a deprecating and apollo
getic note to Miss Fiefye, and at the next match
the dressing tent was placed at the opposite cor
ner of the ground, at least three hundred yards
from the lady's windows. Imagine the secre-
tarys astonishment at a note the next morning,
thanking him for his ''obviously kind inten-
tions,' but regretting that they were of no avail,
as she could see the gentlemen's legs with a
telescope just as plainly as before"

BOILED WHEA-.-It is possibly not as we'll un-

BOILED WHEAr.-It is possibly not as well un-
derstood as it should be among housekeepers,
that healthful and nutritive food may be pre-
pared by boiling wheat to be eaten with milk or
moasses-the former to be preferred when at
tainable. 1t is first rate thing for children,
while adults may use it to an advantage. Some
have the wheat cracked in mill before using,
which is, perhaps, the preferable plan, but it
will answer we'll without this preparation
lady correspondent of the Ohio Farmer says
g The wheat should be cracked in mill. Take
one quart and put it into half pot of warm wa
ter, and let it stand upon the stove for several
hours then boil slowly, aad stir it occasionally,
till it becomes thick put in a handful of salt.
For children it can be used with milk If left
standing till cool, it is very nice to cut in slices,
and use with cream and sugar, or fry it like
mush the last mentioned, prefer for general
use, but it can be prepared in various ways"
If boiled whole, the wheat should be allowed to
soak in tepid water before boiling, that the grain
may have chance to soften and swell. When
properly boiled use with milk suitably seasoned
with salt and peppet and it will be found a
nourishing, healthful and paatable dish.
