Turning the whole Of
Milk to Butter.

| notice that a new fashioned
churn that converts the entire
milk to butter, is said to be great
thing-to sell, | suppose. l have
known the process for several
years which is: Three pints of
milk, fresh from the COW, or any
milk, if fresh; put it in stone
churn-it is best to use the old
fashioned dasher; add three
pounds Of butter, sliced thin,
and three yellows of eggs; set the
churn in a pail of hot water till
you get The mess lukewarm, or at
blood heat, and about two minutes
will turn the whole thing into but
ter, leaving no milk. 1t looks
more like magic than anything |
ever saw. 1t must be thoroughly
churned after it has come to butter
or it will incline to 60 back to milk.
l have no thermometer, and do
not know what degree of heat is
best. wrote you a letter four
wears since about this, and did not
send it because l was afraid it
would be a detrfment to butter
dealers and consumers, as they
might get inferior butter on their
hands. If properly made l be-

A FACT FOR FAR,lERs.-It may
not be generally known that the
seed of the sunfower is the most
infallibIe remedy yet discovered for
the SPECIFY cure Of founder in hor.
ses. G'he directions which we
CLEAN from a brief article upon the
subject in the Essex Banner, saws :
Immediately on discovering
that your horse is foundered, mix
about a pint of the whole seed
in his food, and it will perfect a
cure"
Sunaowers are easily grown a.
longside of fences and out-oEthe-
way places, where they take u2
but little room. The seed when
fed in small quantities to the horse
is very healthy, giving to the hair
a peculiar gloss. It's diuretic in
its tendency. Fowls like it much
and thrive on it.

tary appointeeAand the one whom
Gen. Reynolds provides with mil.
itary escort on circuit. The Bren-
ham Inquirer thus describes the
conduct Of his honor at BRENNAN,
including his entrance and his exit:
On Saturday nights train ar
rived the judge, slightly fainting.
On Sunday, and especially at night,
the judge became beastly drunk,
using language to good citizens
unbecoming his position which
alone saved him from sound pum-
melting. On Monday morning re-
ports were rife of the departure
of the judge. Shortly, however,
it was ascertained that he had de-
parted for the country in company
with a freedman, in search of but
termilk. Jurors and witnesses
were pouring into town. During
the evening the judge returned,
and after imbibing, attempted to
reach the court house, in which he
finally succeeded. After cooning
the steps Of the court yard and
climbing up hesteps, he succeeded
in reaching the bench. The court
was called and then adjourned un-
til four o'clock the following day.
The Judge was certainly the mud
diest man, and exhibits the appear
ance of having been wallowing
with the hogs. By the assistance
of an attorney he was enabled to
reach the hotel amid the laugh
and jeers Of thousands, who wit
messed this strange proceeding.
The next evening, 4 o'clock,
found the judge in no better con-
dition, but he finally managed to
reach the stand, shorn of the ex-
ira mud. Court was called, the
grand jury organized; with but
little or no change, court adjourned
and the judge called at the bar,
took another smile, and reached
his hotel. During the night he
became no better.
On Wednesday, morning about
day, in a bar room, he announced
his intention of going down on the
train-when he was asked what
he would do with the court, he
said let it 60 to h-ll. Then
judge what will you do about the
grand jury now sitting; he remark
ed let them sit till they hatch.
The train conveyed the judge
on his homeward trip.
The above is plain, unvarnish-
ed statement of facts as we hear
and have seen, and needs no COM
nent at our hands. The judge is
a military appointee.
A dispatch was duly forwarded
On Tuesday last to General Rey-
nolds, setting forth the condition .

pointment of some proper person

Poor CurIiIe.

On Thursday night the Senate con
frmed CARLlLE'S nomination by a vote
of % to 81. For full hour he was Min.
lister to Sweden by and with the advice
and consent of the Senate. Just on the
eve of adjournment, when a few min.
utes would have ripened CARLILE's
greatness and placed him beyond the
power of unfrlGndly Senates, some en-
vious and malicious monster moved a
reconsideration Of the vote confirming
his nomination. The motion was
carried, the vote recousidered, the
"recreaut Senator's" hopes blasted,
and another example furnished to his
tory of the ingratitude of Republicans
Only the eye of OmnisCience can pene-
trate the motives that controlled the
reconsideration, and nobody but the
original TANTALUs could appreciate the
condition of the unfortunate victim of
Senatorial displeasure. No further ac-
tion was taken after reconsideration.
The nomination is simply passed by,
CARLILE remains upon GRANTS
hands to be disposed of accord
ing to his Imperial pleasure, The
President may persist in the appoint
ment, though after the course Of
the Senate no President but GRANT
would be likely to think of such a
thing. We earnestly hope CARLLEmay
get something, The painful notoriety
given to his name and antecedents will
serve as an efficient warning to rene
gades and political gymnasts. For fur
nishing such a warning CARLLLE de-
serves well of his country, and we look
to the great patron of apostates to see
him msuitably rewarded.

ion that he can. The Tenure of Office
Law provides substantially that when
the Senate shall refuse to advise and

means rejection, and CARLILE has not
been rejected. The Senate simply re-
considered the vote confirming him, and
there let the matter rest. He is, there
fore, eligible to re-appointment.
