TIE MANUTACTtHE OF MusTARD.-In

THE MANUFACTURE OF MUsTARD.-In
the preparation Of mustard, the seed is
first crushed between iron rollers, and then
pounded in smooth iron mortars, each
about one foot in diameter. These NOR
tars arc arranged in single row, near the
walls of some Of the rooms, and the
crushed seed is pounded in them by 1arge
iron bulbs, which are worked by machin.
cry. Each bulb is attached to long
wooden rod, which is raised few inches
by an arm projecting from rotating shaft,
and then falls by its own weight. Several
scores of these automatic pcstlcs and NOR.
tars soon reduce the crushed seed to the
condition of -four and bran, of dark,
dirty color, in consequence of the non-sep-
aration of the seed. The -four and bran
are then separated from each other by
means of silk scves. Eight of these
sieves are placed loosely inside large
square horizontal frame Of wood, suspend
ed by chains at each Of its four corners.
Violent eccentric motion is given to the
wooden frame, by means Of an iron rod
passing down its centre, and the sieves
have IN additional motion of their own in
consequence of their being loosely fitted in
the frame. In one room alone there are
nine of these frames at work, carrying al
together seventy-two sieves Of various de-
grccs of finencss. The finer the sieve, the
more docs the mustard improve in color,
and the husk is thrown aside to be made
into manure cake for the land !; two kinds
Of seed are thus treated, the brown and
the white, the former being much more
pungent than the latter, and the two de-
scriptions being mixed to suit the public
tastc.-EpDiuccy.

There were many passengers, and Of
course, as usual, a great crowd gathered
around the "captain's ofis," each quietly
Awaiting his turn to pay. Suddenly tall,
robust young man clbowcd his way through
the mass of people up to the window and,
stretching out his money to the clerk, said, !,
IN a very loud tone:
"Take my fare, sii1" -,
"What name, sir?" said the clerk, as he
received the bills.
"Captain Victor Henry Digamma, sir
Captain Digamma and lady, of the Youni-
ted States Awmy, sir," was the reply, in
very pompous, conccited voice.
This was rather too much for our at!
quaintance, the householder. He passed
rudely through the crowd. and loudly ad-
dressed the clerk, while the captain Of the
"awmy" yet stood by, and the people
seemed to be thinking whether to lynclr
him or not.
"Take my fare, sir?'
"What name, sir?' inquired the clerk
meekly.
"Korp'rl John Barstow, sir, Korp'ril
John Barstow and horses, sir, Of the Con-

delivered in a most comically pompous
tone.

We see it stated in several quarters that Gem
tral Butler and other prominent members of
congress express determination TO take some
action in Congress to prevent the gross abuse of
oifee by the incumbents being absent from their
Posts unnecessarily and to the detriment of the
public service. 1t is proposed to make the leg
1slatiOn on this subject very rigid. and to have il
operate i'm the way of cutting down the enor-
nous number of sinecures.
Ii l. not 80 expressed, but we presume from
1ntimations heretofore given out that whatever
l. done in the premises will also have a bearing
uion the perambulating propensities of some of
fae Congressional committees. The indulgence
HI this inclination has attracted a good deal of
notice latterly, and provoked good deal of un-
favorable comment, in unofficial as well a Of
fetal circles-nOt 20 much perhaps on account
Of the direct cost of their trips to the public
treasury as on account of the danger that in this
way those constituting the legislative branch of
government may be placed under obligations to
corporations or individuals at whose hands they
are induced to accept fayors when travelling,
and who are pretty sure to turn up BY and by
with some 'little bill" they are anxious to have
acted upon The field for reform is a pretty
broad one all round, and, once entered upon, We
hope the gentlemen who propose to undertake
the work will give il what the farmers call a

The Baltimore Sam had a thoughtful editorial
yesterday, showing the duty deyolving upon the
dominant political party i'm a State-and espe-
cially where that party has an overwhelming
IrepOnderance-to prevent reckless and wanton
mal-administration by exercising care and yig-
lance in the selection OF candidates. The San
had for its text the election in Maryland but its
remarks are equally applicable to any other lat
itude. There is nothing more 10 be deplored
than the growing apathy among the mass of the
people to the character of the men foiSted upon
them rs candidates for Office by the party hacks
and professional politicians who manipulate
ward meetings and county conventions. 1t is
almost impossible in any OF our large cities,
particularly, to get the better class of citizens to
attend at the ward nominating meetings to see
that good men are nominated, or to go to the
polls to see that bad men are defeated. The re-
suit l. that there is scarce city in the country
where the property holders, or those most inter-
ested in the public welfare, have any voice in
the conduct of affairs. Occasionally, when
things get in very bad way the people rise in a
fit of temporary wrath, as in San Francisco and
Cincinnati lately, and as yesterday in Chicago,
and make spasmOdic swOop upon the political
cormOrants; but the exertion is too much to be
Kept up. and the sluggish hunkers known as
s'the best citizens relapse into indifference and
generally find that, like the fox in the fable, they
have driven away one swarm OF flies only to
make place for a hungrier one.
Ii seems hopeless case when the instinct of
self-preservatiOn does not prompt the taxpayers
Of community to look after their own interests
to the slight extent of attending a nominating
convention once year. 1t is evident that if the
condition of affairs in our cities is not to go on
from bad to worse that the body of the people
must be trained, through the agency of the
Iress and other public teachers, to appreciate
the duties devOlving upon them as citizens of a
republic And if the present generation is in
corrigible something may be done with the youth
OF the country-the voters of the future. The
duties OF good citizenship in this particular
should be specially taught in our public schools
and the sooner the writers of the textbooks
block out the work the better

We are pleased to have the editorial assurance
OF The World that "the practice-a very foolish
practice-of filling party newspapers on the
morning of every election with spasmodic para
graphs and windy exhortations, is fast going
out of vogue" But, unfortunately, this graft
fying assertion is followed up BY whole page of
editorial "last appeals" in one shape and an
other, after The Worlds best style. The usage,
which is truly foolish and fruitless one, ought

The coming winter, it is predicted from the
unusually early migration of the birds, and from
other signs Of the animal and vegetable world,
will be very severe. The same intelligence
comes from England, where Frost snow and ice

that have already occurred in the North and
West of the United States seem to confirm the
predictions of u severe winter.
