ANEW WAY TO MAKE BUrTER-A siugu.
lar method of making butter has lately come
into quite extensive use in France, based npon
the observed fact that cream ia changed into
butter by being simply buried in the earth.
The theory of this result is not very inteigi.
bic, though the fact 10 stated to be beyond
question; and in Normandy, and other parts of
France, butter 10 actually prepared on large
scale In this way. The process consists In pla-
cling the cream in q linen bag Of moderate
thickness, which 10 carefully closed; then bury.
ing the bag about foot and halt deep In the
earth, and allowing 1t 10 remain from twenty.
four to twenty-five hours After tho expira-
ton OF this period, the cream 10 found to have
become hard, and IL 10 then broken up, By
means Of a wooden beaten, into small pieces
and enough water poured upon it to wash out
the buttermilk. To prevent any mixture of
earth. it 10 advisable to enclose the bag in sec.
ond one OF larger size and coarser quality. This
method ofrhaking butter saves great deal of
labor, and separates the butter more perfectly
than the ordinary process; and, it 10 said, but.
ter thus prepared is Of most excellent quality.

The Standard, in reviewing the situa-
ton this morning, says the Prussians are
strong around Reims, while immense

1t is impossible to say whether the re-
port that the King is moving on Paris
with a heavy force is true or not. 1t is
equally doubtful if the rumor that the
French Ministers of War and Interior
have removed from the capital, has any
foundation. The news is all uncertain

SPECIAL NOTICES.

A Chapter of Facts.-Space is valuable In
a newspaper, and 1t is therefore proposed in
this advertisement to condense a variety of
facts, important to the public. into small
compass. Those facts refer to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters-what that celebrated medi-
cine is, and what it will do. In the first place
then, the article is stimulant, tonic and al
terative, consisting Of a combination Of an
absolutely pure spirituous agent with the most
valuable medicinal vegetable substances that
Botanic research has placed at the disposal of
the chemist and the physician. These ingre-
dients are compounded with great care, and
in uch,proportions as to produce a prepara-
ton which invigorates without exciting the
general system, and tones, regulates and con-
trolls the stomach, the bowels. the liver and
the minor secretiye organs.
What this great restorative will do must be
gathered from what 1t has done. The case Of
dyspepsia, or any other form of indigestion,
in which it has been persistently admins
tered without effecting radical cure is yet to
be heard from, and the same may be said Of
bilious disorders, intermittent fever, nervous
affections, general debility, constipation, sick
headache, mental dependency, and the pecu-
liar complaints and disabilities to which the
feeble are so subject, 1t purifes all the Huids
Of the body, including the bload, and the
gentle stimulus which 1t imparts to the nerv-
Gus system Is not succeeded by the slightest
reaction. This il chapter of facts which
readers, for their own sakes, should mark and
remember.

PARIS QUALIFICATIONS.

capitulation of the French capital before
the still-advancing Prussian armies, are
but ill-informed as to the immense forti-
fications which the most skillful engin-
eering and the most lavish outlay have
provided. Nothing but the basest treach-
cry can prevent long siege, if the in
yaders succeed in reaching its environs.
It may be that the people are tired of the
Empire, and the busy minds of the men
of letters who broke down the dynasty
of Louis Philippe may do the same tor
the selfconstituted Emperor; but they
will not yield willingly their strong walls
to the invader, that he may dictate his
own terms within them. In view of the
situation, the following sketch of the for
tifications of Paris will not be without
interest:
A law was passed in 1871 to fortify
Paris, granting the sum of one hundred
and forty millions francs. The work has
been carried forward upon the plan then
adopted, and was vigorously pushed by
the present Emperor. The Notifications
consist first, of an outer line of fifteen
detached forts, on a circumference OF
thirty-five miles. These forts are sepa-
rate and distinct, casemated, mount 2
300 guns, and each has its own maya
zine, store-houses, water, etc. Second,
there is an inner line, consisting OF a
continuous series of bastions, surround
ing the entire city, twenty-five miles in
circumference, and presenting ninety
four angular fronts. In front of this is
a continuous fosse, or line of wet bitches,
lined with masonry, of depth of Is
feet by width of twenty feet. From
the bottom of these bitches to
the top of the embankments is forty-fye
feet. The top of the embankment is
thirty-four feet WIDE faced with masonry.
The bastions are mounted with an aver
age of ten guns each, making total of
nine hundred and forty There are
about one hundred gates piercing the
ramparts, the bitches being covered by
drawbridges, which can be removed at
moments notice, or destroyed by the
guns of the bastions. At different points
in the rear are extensive magazines, i'm
pregnable to shot and shell, and there is
a line of railway in the rear of the forti-
fications around the city, by which troops
can be transported to any point. The line
ofbastions is generally within range ofthe
gums of the outer forts. The French are
constructing bitches for covered com.
munieation with the outer forts 1t will
be seen by this that Paris is an immense
fortress. The mind can but vaguely es-
innate how immense an army would be
required to invest such place, when de-
Tended by 10000 men. And such
place, with such an army, must be a
formidable point Of support for coope-
ration with an army outside If the
French armies shall be crushed, and
Paris invested, it would seem that
population of a million, pinched by a
siege, and with no prospect OF succor,
would soon come to terms. But TO
march on this fortress, leaving powerful
armies on the flank, would appear to be
a hazardous policy. There must be some
new moves on the board before Paris
can be taken by the Grown Prince.
