Improving our Native Chestnut.

The largest nuts of any partic-
! ular species always command n
better price than smaller ones.
The European chestnut is far in
ferior i'll quality to our native sorts.
ard large size is really its own rec
ommendation for cultivation in this
country, for the trees are neither
as hardy nor healthy as our native
varieties. by little care in making
selections, there can be no doubt
but what wo slould find that native
sorts almosl, if not quite, equal in
size to tic foreign would be pro-
duccd.
Every one who has ever taken
the trouble to examine the nuts of
different trees i'll the same forest,
must have noticed the great differ

have noticed the great difference
In form, color and size; and as
these characteristics can be readily
perpetuatcd by the usual methods
budding and grattiong, there is no
good reason why we should not
nave permanent varieties of the
native chestnut, as we'll as of ap-
plies and pears. We would howev-
er recommend growing seedlings
from the very largest nuts to be
found, and then again selecting
from these when they comr into
bearing.
About twenty-five years ago, a
gentleman i'll Washington, d. c.,
sent Mr.. Chas. Downing a few spec

and tree grown from one of these
nuts is now standing upon the lawn
OF the Downing place at Ncwburgh.
This tree has fruited for several
years past, and last season Mr..
Downing sent us some of the nuts,

Sour Cream and Buttermilk.

There is no end to the nice ar
ticles of food (says a lady CORES
pondcut in the american AgricM-
7u7st That may be made by using
sour cream, sour milk, and butter
milk, in a judicious way. There
are several things in their use
about which care should be taken.
l. Cream that is to be used in cook
ing should be wholly separated
from the milk. Q. It should be
thoroughly sourcd. If in any re-
ccipt milk or buttcrnlilll is to be
employed with the cream, it should
also be entirely sour, as the mix
ture Of sweet and sour milk, or
cream, tends to make the article
heavy. q. The amount OF soda or
salaratus should only be just
enough to sweeten and tighten the
the cream, as any more than this
imparts the green color and soapy
flavor which arc SO disagrccable
and unwholcsome in articles of
food.
When once recipe is found to
be good. no changes should be
made, us the chances are ten to
one that the cXpcrim enter will
have failure, and lay the blame
upon the use of cream instead of
her own carelessncss or ignorance.
I annex few recipes whicl. have
been well tried and proved, and
are thought by all my friends who
have made use Of them to he
among their best recipes:
Buttc'miM Mubns.-One quart
of sour buttcrmilk, one teacupful
of sour cream, two eggs, one tea
spoonful Of soda, little salt, flour
enough to make as thick as pound
c'ke. Bake in muffin-rings, placed
upon tins in the oven, from twenty
to thirty minutes, according to the
temperature of the stove.

quart of sour buttcrmilk, a little
salt, one tcaspoonful of soda, and

thick or thin as you like them.

THE LATEST BOURBON MANIFESTO.

THE LATEST BOURBON MANIFESTO
Henri Bourbon, Count de Chambord,
represents the legitimate line of the
Bourbons. IIc is one Of the two pre-
tenders to the French throne. The
pretender is the Duke de ChartreeI
grandson of Louis Philippe. Count
dc Chambord sees the changcsSwhich
are taking place in France. He SSHid
tolerate the empire and Cesariam,
but he cannot tolerate tho empire afSd
liberty. Napoleon's reforms have fri
ghtcned him. Hence the Connt's
loud talk about hereditary rights.
For seventeen years the Count has
been watching the empire. Now that
the empire enters upon a new phase
the Count feels called upon to reiter-
ate hereditary claims. If France
prefers to remain a monarchy, why
should Dot France be as happy with
Bourbon as with O Bonaparte ?
This manifesto of tho Count reveals
ono Of the difficulties of the hour,
Napoleon cannot live always. Sosoon
as ne is dead the Bourbons, younger
and older, will have rs good a chance,
as the son of the Third Napoleon, ],
But France must be allowed to Judge
for herself--Herald.

REDUCING THE PUBLIC DEBT.

The wide-awake Washington cor
responder OF the CINCINNATI Gazette
writes:
Nothing is moro simple than the
process by which Mr.. Boutwellis ena-
bled to ISSUE his bulletins every month
telling the people how the national
debt is being reduced. 1 have sus-
p-cted all long, but never knew until
today, what was the n,odus operandi.
Adapted TO private business, it would
enable tho worst bankrupt in the Uni
ted States to "stand erect" as Mr..
Micawber did after he had given his
l o U. to Straddes. The secret is
this: =, An order has been given to the
accounting officers of tho treasury to
allow no claims what ever against the
govcrnment-to pay nothing, to repu-
date evelythings There are just two
exceptions made to this general rule
the bondholders and the officeholdcrs
These gentlemen are paid to the utter
most tarthing. All other classes of
government creditors are denied even
hearing. And SO, for the sake of
appearing to pay off tho public debt,
hundreds Of millions of just and equit-
able claims have been repudiatcd.
Now, why not go foot further, and
say to the bondholder that we can't
redeem his coupons? Is the debt of
the bondholder hcdged round by any
sacred obligation that docs not apply
equally to tho man whose claim is not
in bonds but in quartermasters' YOU
chors? But the fact is, the debt is
increasing daily, notwithstanding
Mr.. Boutwell's lying bulletins. All
the claims now being denied will have
done in some form or another, and bu
ry the whole mass of claims, whether
IN the forms Of bonds or of ANYTHING
else, in common grave, to the "mu-
sic OF the Union"-which is the latest
name for the Rogue's March. '"Equal
and exact justice to all men" is the
bogus motto of the Republican party.
Equal and exact justice to all creditors
should be the rule Of con nduct of eve
ry honorable man. If the govern.
ment undertakes to repudiate ono
part Of the debt, let the people finish
the JOB and repudiate the rest of it.

The SUPREME COURT JuDsrsarpt,-
Although the President delays 70 afH
the vacancy on the Supreme bench
occasioned by the death of Mr.. STAN
ton, there is a growing impression
that the vacancy will be given to
Judge Strong. of Pennsylvania. It
is also stated that there is q new can
didate for the vacancy on the bench
occasioned by Mr.. Stanton's death.
Iho candidate is no other than the
lion. David K. Cartier, now Judge of
inc supreme Court for this district
Judge Cartier is believed to have had
some asperations of this nature at the
time of the impeachment trial, and
had then sure thing of it, in case case
Mr.. Wade came into the Presidential
Office. The failure of the impeach-
mcnt put an eud this business for a
time Cartier is a very Radical po-
litlcian, and is backed by very strong
influence. His most active friend is
Ben Butler, who is said to be gettidg
up q paper recommending him after
the fashion of that by which Mr..
Stanton's appointment was procured.
The opponents of Judge Cartier urge
that Ohio has already two Supreme
Court Judges, Messrs Chase and
Swayne.

Why the Disabilities Of the Southern
Men are not Removed.

People must not misunderstood
the motives Of Congress in refusing
to grant a general amnesty, and
prefcrring to pass bills every now
and then, giving pardons to speci-
ally-naned individuals. This
course is pursued for purpose
baser and more vile than mere pol-
.atics. Not alone that they are thus
enabled to drum up recruits for
the Republican party in the South
by excluding all who lean to the
Democratic party from the privilege
of amnesty. The chief object is to
keep open the door for CORRUPTION
and bribery. A general amnesty
would yield no money; individual
amncsties can be, aud often are,
made scarce of revenue to the
men who deal them out. I cannot
say positively that any III cmbcr of
Congress has been paid directly
tor securing the insertion of name
in an amnesty bill, but I can say
that persons have paid az high as
800 for that privilege. The
money is paid to the influential
friends of radical members of the
Reconstruction Committee; and |
take it that the state of affairs is
not entirely unknown to those
members. Men come here from
the South to get their disabilities
removed. They want to lie eligible
for office of some kind. They are
very soon directed to some one
who can have their names inserted
in the next bill, and for this inser
ton they arc willing to pay liberal
-. Their money is takcu-nor do
believe it all goes into the pocket
OF the men who first received it.
These are facts of which every
member of Congress is aware
Time was when the mere suspicion
of this truth would have called for
a searching Investigation. But
corruption stalks SO shamelessly
abroad, and SO perncates every de-
partment Of the Government now
from the Executive who sells his
Cabinet positions to the highest
bidder, to the bureau chiefs who
extort dollar donations from the
starving clerks under them-that
1t is dangerous to start an inquiry,
because it is impossible to tell
where it will stop or to what it " i'll
lead. One Of these days the peo-
pie will wake up to the fact that
greater crimes may be committed
against a nation by thieves disguise
ed in the livery of loyalty than by
brave men wearing openly the uni
form Of rebelllon.-C Cincinnati En-

ability to do it without aid from eth.

OF the pushed states of affairs. it ia
safe TO assume that if the road is com.
