PUBLISHERS CoNvgNTIoN.-Many of our ex-
changes agitating the subject of a conven-
tion of the newspaper publishers of this Coast
for the purpose of regulating advertising agen-
cies. What good might be done by such con-
yention we do not know. One thing is certain
and that is that agencies, of late, have con-
tracted for advertisements, and insist upon pub
fishers taking them, at ruinous rates. The
amount Of this agency business as it is now con-
Quoted is that agents are fast becoming rich at
the expense of publishers. As for ourselves, we
positively will not accept of advertisements un-
less the price to be paid suits us. When an
agent sends ad to be inserted three months
at price that will scarcely cover the cost Of set
ting the type and then demands 25 per cent. com

Usher, we think it is about time something
should be done A convention of publishers to
discuss and determine what measures to adopt
to resist this imposition cannot make the matter
any worse :han it now is and we are in favor of
such a convention.

THE WAR IN EUROPE.

We gather the following war items from late
copies of the Union:
General Palladnes retreated from Orleans
with 200, 900 men and 500 cannon.
A grand battle was concluded north of Or
leans on the 2nd in which the Germans were
victorious, and captured 1000 prisoners to-
gether with II guns and four gunboats on the
Loire.
The capture of Rouen by the Germans is con-
frmed.
The Army of the Loire is expected to joiu the
Army of the East and when the junction is ef-
fected they will march towards Fontainbleau
100000 strong, where, it is predicted, last
grand battle will be fought
The Grand Duke of Meckenburg says IA, 600
French were captured in the late battles around
Orleans. He puts the German losses at 3, 200.
1t is reported that the Army of the Loire is
nearly ready for another advancement.
Changes have been made in the command OF
the Army of the Loire. 1t is now divided into
three corps under Bourbaki, Chauzeay and Bill
lot
Another sortie is soon to be made from Paris
Prussia declares she will no longer respect the
neutrality of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg,
because the Grand Duke has favored France.
Rumor also says Prussia will not be bound any
longer by the treaty of 1867, by which she
agreed TO dismantle the German fortress of Lux
embourg.
riot took place in Berlin about the execu-
tion of an order drafting married men into the
landwehr. 1t was put down by the army, the
police force failing to suppress it.
From Tours we learn that the French have
again opened negotiations for an armistice, sup
ported by the neutral Powers.
The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg defeated
the French in a battle on the 8th inst. Other
defeats near Paris are also mentioned.
The King of Prussia accepts the title of En-
peror of Germany.

The humble knight Of the goose ex-
planned that the only competent workman

had . wife lying 1t deaths door. and he
could not possibly leave her. The out

told his customer TO 60 to the CAlOr1c re-

The customer, red with rage, rushed

the best butter. And it is had. There
are those who use it the year round /;
they are not nany-the worse for them.
In June you have the tenderest grasses;
you have them with q freshness which,
somehow, cannot be obtained elsewhere.
Though the fresh growth Of October and
Last Of September approaches It, 1t does
not, however, equal Il.
The first butter made Of grass has q
grassy taste. This II not 20 perceptible

tween the drst and other growth. 500

The butter, freshly packed, and packed

II II IL now put in barrel of sAlt-that
ID, surrounded with salt, tub and all-you
may transport It to the tropics, and It
will still be June butter. This has been
done.
A case A few years ago we had occa-
ton to call on one of our neighbors, q
poor family, who had Just sold their COW.
We remarked about the sale Of the COW,
when the lady of the house spoke and
said: II shall have butter to last me
through the summer. / have . jar yet Of
last summer"
"But," we remarked, shat il old"
"Ay, but II ID good !" and she made
good her word by exhibiting specimen.
It was what seemed to have been made at
the time then (June,) fresh, yellow, and
of solid, dissolving confidence. Its
taste was pertect-that Of fresh June but
ter. Il was diincult to believe It was not
made then-just then-and Of the good
COW the matron had lust sold. But her
word was law, and ! took 1t 40 such.
She had made this butter . year ago,
kept il In the manner We indicated. She
said II WAS her habit to do so-make her
butter for winter, and sometimes for the
whole Of the year, in June. at was 20
much better" And that was true. And
It Il true now II we only feel disposed to
test It. "The woman she had lived with
always made her butter 20 there abe
learned It." -
This was many years ago when the
woman she lived with made her butter.
People then knew how to make butter.
The science is % simple that there IL no
reason to doubt that II was made then
and all along back. Cleanliness and June
grasses are the points, and these points
existed plentifnlly with the old Dutch
settlerG
One thing, however, should be under
stoOd-that 10, more than it is il 10 that
some COWS will not make butter that viii
keep. These sometimes spoil . whole
