:wOmEN IN COUNCIL.

On Thursday, what is known as the
equal Rights Association" numbering
some eight hundred persons, mostly
women, assembled in New York. Ono
very important fact was established be-
You'd dispute, viz, that women are
perfectly capable of participating in
political conventions Of such style as
i in vogue to-day. The following cx-
tract from tho report Of their proceed
ings viii convince al doubters of this ::

half Il her fellow lat oresv she would also say thev

A7essd i1ssztns plank in tho platform Affecting
the question Of capital and labor.
Mn. uv~nors made the point that Miss Anthony
was out o. order and the convention was not called
9. G. Burlsd9h attempted to speak, but storm of
na1on esovnse his voice. Several persons shouted
that l.dy had the floor, meaning Mr. DR.. Batchei-
ME- 1atchelder mid she had the floor and not only

Geo 70 teach tho audience lesson in good manners
(aissss and groans) she intended to have her say
1hs tumult M now indescribable. but order was
finally restored through the efforts Of Mrs. Stanton
What miserable man, in the face of
this, will dare to say that women are
not fitted to enter the fercest arena of
political strife ? 1t is no longer neces.
sary for the friends of the movement
to claim that the tendency of female
suffrage would be to quiet dissension
aud calm the bitterness of controversy.
They are quite equal to any emergency
that may arise, and fearlessly throw
themselves into the foremost ranks in
the hay. That they do not belong to
the "weakel sex" is evident from a
erusher upoa Rev. Stephen Foster, who
volunteered mildly to criticise
some Of Mias Anthony's doings. That
hdy ezeiteely replied to his state
nsnt: "2Has Is false! I" Mn. Stanton,
the President, made this point, which
completely eornered MIR. Foster
"Whsn any man comes on to this plat
form and says that . woman does not
speak The truth, he Is out Of order.'
In other words, women propose going
into politics on the principle that "the
king On do no wrong" They can
brand the statement of Z man % "false."
but be, poor creature, cannot presume to
intimate that she could 10 any wise be
mistaken. Verify, the day Of great

favoring female suffrage.
We cannot but think that in thus an
nouncing itself as a political organiza~
ton, or the protector Of one, the Order
has done the cause of temperance a
great injury. The longer this course
il persisted in and tho more strenuous.
y it is advocated, the farther of will
the GOOD Tsmphrs be from accomplish
ing the good which they have always
claimed - their purpose. The probi-
bition Of the use Ct intoxicating liquors
could properly form no more = part Of
the platform Of = political party than
could prohibition Of tho use Of tobac-
%, or crusade against any Of tho macy
other evils Of appetite with which So
ciety u afflicted. Men must be con-
vineed; they cannot be coerced. 1t
may take time to purge our land of the
terrible curse Of intemperance, but all
great works require time. 1t can
be done, though not through the me-
dunn Of politics. Good Templars could
do their cause tho best service by see-
ing to It that the candidates of the par
ties now in existence are men of sobri-
ety and temperate habits. This would
b practical; the course they recon-
mend il not.

Our readers will please beware of the But
ter fraud being now widely advertised.
This purports to be recipe for making a
pound of butter from pint of milk. This
humbug is thus disposed Of by one of our
contemporaries -
To commit the fraud, take pound of
butter, proportion of the so-called butter
powder, and a pint of milk. Beat and crush
them together, and they will seemingly
unite; the powder which is used forms an
emulsion between the milk and the butter,
and the result is mass looking like butter,
and tasting tolerably (of course proper
quantities of salt must be used to flavor 1t. }
Now. to suppose that the result is butter is
simply folly but if you doubt the fact, put
the result of what you manufacture (and
which doubtless weighs two pounds into a
vessel, which stand In boiling water until
the contents melt, then add some warm wa
ter and leave it at rest for n while in a melted
and warm state, and you will find your origi-
nal pound of butter floating on the top, and
the balance of the quantity, being about a
pound of humbug, separated from the other
in white water and curds, with occasionally
a small quantity of white powder at the bot
tom. You wili,of course, find tue proceeds
increased by the water you have added.

Spring Planting of FrnIt Trees.

Cultivators this Spring will find il neces
sary to remember the following important
directions
F9Fst. Have the ground well pulyerized
and put in fine filth by blowing and subsoil
ing to the depth Of u inches in the rows
where the trees are to be planted Digging
deep holes is liable to veiy serious objections
" cay sunsoll Is very retentlve, and holds
injuring if not killing the tree.
Wet lands never are suitable for orchards
Iransplanting may be done any time when
the ground is open and free from all frost or
water. Most cultivators are liable to plant
too deep. An invariable rule is that no tree
should be planted deeper than it grew se-
fore the roots are often stifled for the want
OF air, or starved by the poverty of the soil.
or are SO lar away from the viyifying infln
enccs Of light and heat that Il natural decline
and failure are inevitable. The roots of
trees are very sensitive things, and change
to situations not as favorable as before ouisk
" SHOWS Itself in the decaying looks Of the
tree and its branches.
Nearly all the roots of the tree thut ron
tribute to the production Of the frnit or
wood are found near the surface. and have
little need Of the subsoil for food. Where
manure is to be applied, do not put il in con
tact with the roots; but either at the bottom
Of the holes dug for setting out, and then
covering with earth, or, still. better, by a.
plying on the surface, after planting. Tie
rains and frosts will leach the manure. and
II is in better condition to be absorbed Nv
the roots also, in case of drought no dam
age will be done.
Second. In planting, examine the roots.
clear out all worms or insects if the roots
are bruised or broken, prune by cutting
from the under side Of each end.
Shorten in the tops and limbs In propor.
tlon to the loss of roots before planting.
