admittauoe to the galleries. The diplomatic
gallery was scrupulously reserved for members
of the diplomatic corps and their families,
while the southwest gallery was filed with the
wives and daughters OF Senators and members.

said to be doing excellent work, and doing It
easily. When Milt Polk had got all his wheels
and frames in place. he carried the churn out

the place. anxious to see the thing work pro-
posed to dig the ditch and turn on the water
for the contents of the churn and the privi-
lege OF operating the machine on its first
trial The bargain was closed, the ditch dug,
and the machine started; apparently every
thing worked TO a charm: the contents OF
the churn were kept in motion for several
hours. but on examination no butter was
visible; night coming on, it was decided to
let her run till morning when to their utter
astonishment on examination. there was no
butter in the churn yet, and Milt having
carried the joke far enough, acknowledged
that the butter had already been taken out
and that they we're engaged in the very dit
ficuIt experiment of trying TO make butter
out of butter-milk.

turning their attention to cnltiyating the
soil, and many Of them seem highly pleased
with the Government for establishing schools

learn and advance very rapidly in their
studies. The first steamer to Lewiston from
