A NEW METHOD OF PACKING BUTTER "A
Michigan dairyman has lately published his
method OF packing butter. He has oaken tubs,
with heads at each end. They are fourteen
inches in diameter at the top, nine inches at the
bottom, and sixteen inches high In packing, a
cambric bag is made to fit the tub. The butter
is packed in the tub as it stands on the small
end-the sack being long enough TO extend above
the edges of the tub-andis is pressed down firmly
until within an inch and half OF the top, when
circular cloth is laid over it, the edges of the
sack turned over that, and layer of fine salt
placed on it. The head is now put in its place,
the tub turned up, and the butter in the sack, Of
course, falling down to the bottom, leaves a
space all round it which is filled with brine
poured through hole in the small end. When
full, the hole is corked up tight. The butter
floats in the brine and is effectually preserved
from the air, and will keep for an almost indef-
mite period

BRET HARTE THROUGH BRITISH GOGGLEs,-
heard wonderful story about Bret iarle, last
night told in full faith by a London literary
man. Bret llarte, the story went, is now in Lon
don-a fact of which was not aware. He is
man of gigantic stature (Which he certainly was
not when | saw him laSt), enormous personal
strength, and temper which, although noble
and generous, is somewhat stormy. A London
publisher who occasionally reprints American
books land indeed English books, too, for that
matter), without paying the authors, hadpirated
Mr. Harte's "SensatiOn Novels" One of these
was supposed to reflect on q certain brilliant Bo-
hemian of London literature, and the Bohemian
brought an action for libel. The publishcrwait-
ed on Bret Harte and asked whether he Mr..
Harte, was not prepared to assume all the pecu-
mary responsibility. Drawing himself up 10
his full hight, and flashing on the publisher
an eye OF scOrn, he exclaimed: "Miserable
wretch! First you rob me Of my property and
next yOu ask me to pay you for your crme!'
Then seizing the atfrighed publisher in his arms,
he lifted him high in air; and when he miserable
man believed he was about TO DC hurled into
space, Bret llarte sCornlully lowered him to the
ground, and dismissed him with one Conemptu-
Gus kick. can assure you that the man who
told me this story fully believed it, and was
loud in his admiration of Bret Hartcs noble
anger, Titanic strength, and whitening mag
nanimty. | don't know whether am to class
with this legend various stories which have
heard about the ecccntrlCties OF another Ameri-
can poet, who actually was in London lately,
and was much lionized here. People tell us that
he would occasionally take "A book with him to
a dinner party, and calmly inform his hostess
that he did 50 because he did not care to talk to
people at dinner, and preferred TO read. | have
heard that he has amazed drawing room by
suddenly sczing young lady's "back hair,
pulling it down until it hung in dsheveled
richness, and then covering it with kisses, on
the allegation that it reminded him Of the hair
of some loved creature in another cline. |
don't know whether these stories are true; but
they certainly were told TO me by persons usual
" credible and truthful, and who prolessed TO
describe what they had actually seen. Rather

English politics are not, just now, in pleas
ant condition. The queen refuses to sign docu-
ments which are necessary in the regular busi-
ness Of the government; not because she objects
10 them, but because she will not do it. 1t is
caprice, wilfulnass, stupid obstnacy. Some of
her ministers try to find in it evidence of lunacy
but 1t shows peculiarly of character which
was very manifest in Queen Victoria, when she
first came to the throne, and came out in quar-
rels With her mother. 1t is reported that she
will be put by means of a regency. Mean
while, the Prince of Wales is disturbed by the
GROWN dislike of the English people to the
monarchy, and thinks he could change this cur
rent Of feeling, if he should be made regent and
enabled to open a brilliant court at Buckingham
palace. This appears to be his highest effort at
craftsmanship.

"An event has just occurred which will

was sentirom Shanghai by sea telegraph to Hong

could come overland The Cantonese were as
founded, aud discredted the intelligence until the
long-looked-ior Pckin Official Gazette came over
land and confirmed it. Then there was wonder
aud marvel over that intelligence, and all China
from north TO south, is asking if il will do to
give foreigners the means Of more rapid inter
course with the exterior of our empire than we
ourselves have. Interest, their trade and com

Mr.. EDITOR: Majority rule is mis-rule

ties. ih' all electoral districts. whether:
national, Statesor Municipal. These pro-.
positions IRE aelf-eSident; they require
no array OF arguments to demonstrate
their truth. See the wrongs of the D, G.
sent system of returning representatives
to the councils of the people. 1O.OOl
voters are represented and 10000 nre
not; one vote elects representatives OF
10.00l voters and 10, 600 voters hive no
voice in the construction OF laws-can
put mp no cry in representative bodies.
1t would be regarded as monstrons ii
the right to be heard should be- withheld
from man arraigned before n court Of
justice; but here we have system OF
voting which deprives, absolutely. nearly
one-half of the people of this country of
any voice whatever in their own political
affairs. And to add to the Inherent de.
fects of the system-to the wrongs per-
petrated under it-party tactics are used
to manipulate electoral districts, so as to
secure bare majority, aud the entire
representation to which such district may
be entitled is thus secured in the interest
OF constituency, consisting of the
merest fraction over one-half of tho
votors thereof. The minority is, as we
have before said, not only not represent
ed, but they arc absolutely ignored as to
all political rights. 1heyhare no political
souls to be eaped
What is the ,emedy2 Plninly: "P,'o-
poriondl representation How to be
effected? BY Cumulative voting" Tho
subject hos been handled in masterly
manner by q distinguished citizen of
this State, and we shnll take the liberty
OF presenting the system as he explains
1T: "Massachusetts hos ten representa-
tives in the lower house of Congress;
each voter hRs ten votes; he may give
them to ten candidates to each-or
he may cu,nuiate them upon less num-
Der, even to one; one tenth of the voters
may thus be sure Of representative, if
they choose to unite upon one person.
Thus, suppose the number of voters to
be 20O, 900. and each with ten votes
making 1000, 900 votes in all, Of which
200, COO shall be sufficient to elect one
candidate; the friends Of any one candi-
date might secure the concentration or
oumulation OF the 300, 600 votes cast by
20, 600 voters, and those would have a
representative" And again he says:
'In practice. no doubt, tickets would be
made up, and enoh party would send
representatives merely proportionate to
its constituency"
This is the theory presented "in nut
shell" We are informed that there is
no bar against its introduction into the
elective system OF the State by its legisla-
tive body. Let that, body be urged to
adopt it at its next meeting, so Tint it
may apply at the next elections, if pos
sible. Under the present system, we be-
hold on the one hand, nunbridled partial
legislation and unchecked corruption;
and on the other, hopeless despondency,
onoheered hy prospect of relief. We
have before US q probable remedy; let
US apply it. Iotality representation By
cumulative poiing is tie remedy.

what tho Convention ough. 70 o

It should ascertain:
l. The actual existing debt of the
State, the form of the Indebtedness,
when and how created.
e The amount of possible increase OF
the existing Indebtedness. by reason of
any recent legislation authorizing tho
same, the necessity for such increase;
and If it be necessary and legitimate,
how and by what agencies it is to be ef-
fected.
8. The amount realized, or to be re-
allied, from the taxes now being paid: !:
whether such amount be necessary for
the legitimate expenses of the Govern
ment-if not, what less amount would
suffice.
4. Whether the tax proposed to be le-
wed in November next cannot be post
poned. or avoided altogether.
And, lastly, it should advise the peo-
pie Of the Stats generally as to the true
condition OF its finances; should propose
and suggest to them such line Of action
in regard to the present debt, and in re-
gard to the payment Of taxes, as may at
least remove from their minds the doubts
and uncertainties which now perplex
them.
These are submitted as the main points
for the consideration of the convention.
Political issues should be avoided. Prac.
tical relief from onerous taxation and
rninous extravagance is what the people
now seek. Whoever can and will aid IN
affording it should be welcomed as an
ally. If tho party now in power in the
State will aid in exposing and Furnishing
corruption in Office. in reducing taxa.
ton, and administering the Government
in an honest and economical manner,
peace will smile again, and prosperity
will gladdcn tho land; otherwise, they
are gone forever. REFORM. n
