Good butter can't be made in
foul cellars. Nothing receives a
faint more easily than butter. 1t
becomes infected readily by often
sive odors. Much sweeter, better
butter is made in spring houses
than in cellars. Decayed cabbage,
turnips, ETC., in cellar, do not i'm
part any virtue to butter, but de-
teriorate it badly. Good butter is
one of the great Injuries Of the
table, and nothing but the most
scrupulous care and neatness will
secure it. A cellar should be kept
thoroughly clean, and well white
washed from top to bottom; little
lime scattered about in heaps is also
beneficial. Itshould be so arranged
AS to admit of ventilation, thus regu-
Eating the temperature. Then if
you will scald your pans and crooks
and buckets daily, with boiling
water, and use the proper skill and
care, you can make and pack butter
that it will be a pleasure TO eat

PRE-nIsToR1C HoRsE-According
to Professor Owen, who has lately
been examining animal remains
from the cavern of Bruniquel, the
human bones show most affinity with
the Celtic types, the Uranium being
oval and rather dolicocephalous
than neutrality-suspicious. in general
proportion. The cranial capacity
corresponds to that Of uneducated
Europeans of Celtic origin, and ex-
ceeds that Of the average Of Aus
tralian aborgines.
Professor Owen, referring to GER
tain carvings on the animal bones
accompanying the remains, says
that some Of them are pictures of
the heads of horses, and show much
artistic skill. They represent an
animal with short pointed ears, the
stations having beard-like hairs.
The tails Of the horses also appear
to have been short, and furnished
with long hairs to their base instead
Of having these hairs form a kind
Of tuft nearer the end of the tail.
Professor Owen finds no evidence
anywhere of an aboriginal wild
horse resembling that ofthe present
day, no remains Of the kind existing
in any museum; and it is probable
that the adelineations of the cave
horse Of Bruniquel represent, ali
! that we are likely to know Of tho
form Of the primitive stock from
which the present horse is descend-
ed.

The Good Templars.

The holding of State Convention Of be-
tween 200 and 300 delegates, representing
an organization Of several thousand young
men and women Of our state, shows that
the Good Tcmplar organization i large
and active one. and represents an element
Of no little influence in the community.
The order has grown in numbers and
strength and it needs to be strong 70 com
bat successfully the gigantic evil which it
was organized to fight. Indications are not
wanting, however, that with It's growth, the
order has not escaped the tendencies TO occu-
py new fields, which are natural to human
nature, and especially 70 active and grow
ing organizations Of men. The temptation
Of almost every such order t. mingle in and
undertake TO control politics, as soon as It
gains numbers enough to give such action
prospect Of success, is strong-oiten 100
strong to be restrained even by henumerous
examples IN history, showing chat such ven
lures into the field Of politics IN our country
are elwavs disastrous to the orders which at
tempt them. The character Of our institu-
tons and Of cur people VIII never permit
secret societies to control politics. Such at
tempts can succeed Gree, before the people
become aroused to what is gong on but
they hardly ever succeed twice, and the ez-
pertinent if persisted In commonly ends in
the death of the order which makes It.
The Good Iemplars, as we are glad 10 see,
have been wise enough = take warning IN
time from the experience Of other orders
There are those, undoubtedly, and among
the prominent members ofthe order, who have
hoped and purposei 70 control parties and
secure public Office, by means or their society
who have intended sooner or later to or
yanize STATE political party and elect State .

Judge Clarke and Safe Senator Fountain.
While thus engaged, the latter entered the
saloon, when Williams Immediately turned
and shot him twice, with probably fatal ef-
feet. Williams q. once fed to his house,
which he barricaded On his refusal to sur
render the police were ordered by Judge
Clarke to force an entrance, which was done,
the Jalge himself being the frst to enter the
place The entry was the signal for an in
Discriminate firing On both sides. Williams
shot Clark dead. and was shot IN return by
the chief Of police, q Captain French.
Though shot in the side and the eve. the
miserable man lived twenty minutes after re-
eeivins bis wounds. No other person seems
T. have been wounded. Judge Clark was
originally from New York, e former political
friend Of Gov Hoffman, and had something
Of @ literary reputation. Senator Fountain
seems TO be well known in his section. OF
French the man who shot Williams, the san

formation, rather admiringly observes that
'' he is the same person who, during the war,
shot the well known mail-contractor, Capt.
Skillman." Of course IN Fl Paso the cap

shouid be happy 20 think peculiar only to so
