The Red Sea is said to be the hot
test place in the world. The atmOs-
pheTe for about sixty miles on that
sea is steamy and sticky. Every
thing in the shape of iron or steel
about the ship takes on q coat ofrust.
During the summer months no one
travels on the Red Sea unless COM
PEELED by bushes or military orders
to do so. In the winter and spring
the passage is delightful. Yet navi-
cation in that body Of water is al,
ways attended with many dangers.
The Red Sea is long and narrow,
while sunken rocks and projecting
reefs and counter winds prevail,
which produce dangerous currents.
There are three lighthouses in the
sea, which must be kept by salaman-
der-like men, since the thermometer
runs up to one hundred and twenty
degrees in July, and approaches nine
ty in early spring.

Depths Of MIX In Pans.

My own experiments have demon
strated that to put the milk moro than
three inches deep in the pans entails
a loss in the amount OF cream; the
cream is so near of the same specific
gravity as the milk, that it cannot
rise through a very great depth; again.
in a large body of milk, it requires a
longer time for it to lose its animal
heat, which must all be destroyed be-
fore the cream commences to rise. II
any one will take the trouble to set a
shallow pan with not more than three
inches Of milk, away with a bucketfut
of the same kind, he will find that
the pan will raise nearly if not quite a.
thick cream as the bucket.
I would not put away milk deeper
than from two and one hjf-tO three
inches, and have found that the in
creased outlay for pans is more than
made up by the increase in butter

Mow . Pardoned Rebel TaIIss.

How a PardOned Rebel Talks.
Now that the President has par
doned all persons who took part in
the rebellion, and relieved them Of
pains and penalties, some of the unre-
generated leaders begin to talk in the
ancient and high-tOned style that
marked their conversation and speech
es during the war. Gen. Jubal Ear
/ ly writes from his retreat in Canada
West to a Virginia friend, that he re-
CARDS the proclamation of A. J. Gas
final acknowledgment by the
United States, in all its departments,
of its inability to hold any of Us re-
sponsible, under the Constitution and
laws as they were, for our resistance
to its usurpations." Taking this COM
Portable view Of it and "without ac-
cepting it as pardon for offences, y
the hOary old traitor thinks he can
return to his country withouta COM
promise Of principles, and announces
his determination to do 80. e
In the same connection he speaks
of having just returned from visit to
Gen. John @. Breckenridge, who will
start for the United States about the
same time as himself. Breckenridge,
doubtless, holds the same opinion as
Juba1, and concludes because the Gov
ernment prefers, at this time, to par
don rather than punish, therefore it
dare not punish, no punishable of
fence having been committed by any
Of those who engaged in levying war
against the United States.
This lays the foundation of pret-
ty heavy bill of damages against the
Government at some future day. If
those who engaged in the rebellion
committed no crime or offence known
to the Constitution or laws of the
United States by 'resistiRg its usur-
pations,p are they not entitled to re-
cover from that Government indem-
nifcation for the losses sustained in
making that warrantable resistanee2
Obviously, and upon every principle
of equity, this would follow.
Though it is rather late in the day
to undertake it,yet, if it is to be consid-
cred that because none of the rebels
have been tried, convicted and con-
demned to death for high treason,
therefore they committed no punish
able offence, by rebellion and making
war upon the Government-that the
war was, on the part Of the nation, a
John Brown raid on a large scale,
and that all who engaged in killing
the defenders of the Constitution,
whom they took to be rebels, were
murderers-we should favor a test
case, and name the jovial Jubal as
the proper individual to commence
with. At any rate, this sort Of talk
should admonish Congress and the
country that reconstruction may. as
we'll be FASTENED slowly, and a few of
these high-havored rebels kept under
the political disabilities defined by the
fourteenth article of the Constitution,
during their natural lifetime. They
may possibly be able to discover that
they have been guilty Of very grave
offences, and that it is within the
Legitimate power of the Government
to punish them [Cin. Com.

XIV. ii.
Some one City speaks thus:
"After much torturing experience
I come to this, that nine in ten do
not know the value of time, nor the
morality of a promise. Why is not
an engagement to meet me at nine
O'Clock as sacred as any bond2 Why
is not the understanding that church
service or a lecture commences at the
given hour, an acceptance on your
part, # you 60, of an agreement, and
why are you not false to it by your
tardiness, and why are you not bad
friend because of all the little miseries
your infdelity entails? The world,
intercourse, affection, great affairs,
little details, are cursed; prosperity,
temper, character, life jeOparded, lost
by want.of punctuality. Unpunctual
people are everywhere, and every
thing encourages them. 1t is taken
for granted that nothing will be "on
time and so everybody holds off to
insure it. The first ten minutes of a
religious service are apt to be a mar
tyrdom to preachers and punctual
people. There ought to be some con
trivance by which the tardy shall be
made as uncomfortable as they, and
then we might hope a change. But
in this world it tUo much happens
that comfortable stolidity possesses
the sinner, especially if his sin be
fashionable, and the suRerings come
upon those who must take their COM
fort out in doing their duty"

The Last MIX from the Uddcr.

DR.. Anderson says he has found by
practical. analysis, in one instance,
that the last cup of milk drawn from
the cows udder contained sixteen
times as much cream as the first one.
This separation Of cream from milk
takes place in part in the uddeF Of tho

to stand at rest for some time previous.

doubt that there is a difference in rich
ness Of milk first drawn from cows
and that of the last drawn, their
doubts will be speedily removed by
milking a half dozen cows and set
ting the first half drawn from each
COW separate from the last half.

A Warning TO Young Chaps
who Write Letters to
School Girls.

The Cincinnati Chronicle narrates
the following:
A scene transpired on Fourth
street, at high noon to-day, that is
seldom equaled, nowadays, for nov
city and excitement in a small way.
The first seen of it was an old, we'll
dressed gentleman, with an Overcoat
on his left arm, and a large cowhide in
his right, which was flying briskly
up and heavily down upon the back
Of a ''nice young man." making the
dust fly from the outer garment of
the victim, and, Judging from the
sharp reports of the Whaeks, causing
welts to rise keenly upon the tender
cuticle Of the unfortunate shoulders.
The locality of the performance was
near the door of the United States ex-
press Office, and when the youngster
had time to appreciate his situation,
and discover his assailant, instead of
turning upon him and resenting the
fageIlation, he darted suddenly into
the express Office, and made his es-
cape on Race street, aided in this by
the approach of q police officer, who
commanded the peace.
The cause of this summary chas-
tisement, and The submissiveness with
which it was received, also, perhaps,
was explained by the few words
which bystanders heard, between the
blows, fall from the old gentleman's s
lips-to tie effect that he would
teach young men to write letters to
girls at the high schools, especially
after they had been forbidden to do so
by said girls parents.
Who the young man was it will,
perhaps, be as we'll not To mention,
since the affair is private matter, on
" thus partially made public. But if
any young miss in either of our high
schools is aware Of having received
letters, in a surreptitious manner,
from a gOod-lOoking, but impudent
young man, she will know the name
of the chap who is suffering from the
stripes received this morning on her
account.
After the exit Of the victim in the
performance, the aggrieved parent
put on his overcoat and walked on.

One would think the public had

them against further investments in

schemes, have cheated the people out
of not less than S2,OO0,O0O or So, ,O0O,-

one Of these projects have proven in
the end to be downright sWindle, a

these swindles, we hear, is TO be Aaunt-

are to be held up to the gaze Of the

just as well throw their dollars away
