APPLE BUTTER.

A farmer gives the following as
his way of making bowl of apple
butter: As soon as the cider is
brought from the press, we proceed
to boil it down as quickly as posi-
BILE, to avoid fermentation, but in
stead of beginning to fill in with ap-
Piles when half boiled, and stirring
with a paddle twelve hours, we con-
t!nue the boiling process till 1t is all
boiled down to a good strip, say
about five gallons into one, which
can be poured out into u wooS or
stone vessel, and will keep if not
ready to make up Immediately. The
evening previous to making up, with
the assistance of our men folks, we
pare and core our apples, which we
stew in a little sweet cider, if we
have it, otherwise water or some of
the boiled cider weakened down.
When the apples are cooked soft, we
commence stirring, adding the boil
ed cider as fast as it will bear, four
bushels of apples being quiet sufti-
cient for thirty-two gallons of cider
Three hours of brisk boiling with
constant stirring will make it strong

bread is hot. pour the eggs over IL
and cover for a few minutes; stir it
slightly, so that the eggs may be
cooked. This is a nice dish, besides
saving the dry bread.

NORTH CAROLINA.
Ex-Governor Vance to stump the State
for the Cincinnati Nominees.


CHARLOTTE, June %, 1872.
Ex-Governor Zebuon B. Vance will begin the can
vass for Greeley and Brown at Fayetteville on Tues
day, and Will then speak through the eastern coun-
ties every day until the Baltimore Convention.
The Governor comes out boldly and earnestly
for Greeley, subject to the action OF that
Convention, and the name OF the Chappaqua farmer
is loudly cheered whenever mentioned. He favors
the Cincinnati platform substantially, but will deal
mostly in State issues, advocating the proposed
amendments to the State constitution and re-
trenchment and reform. He denounces bitterly the
usurpations OF Caldwell ana the supreme Court of
North Carolina and the corrupt legislation which
has bankrupted the State.
In q conversation with your correspondent the
Governor predicted that the conservatives will
hopes for a two-thirds VOTE in which case the
adoption OF the desired constitutional amend
ments will be assured. II the Baltimore
Convention endorses Greeley he can easily
carry North Carolina by 10000 majority

THE QUESTION IN WASHINGTON.
Pressing for an Expression Of Opinion
on the Indirect Claims

WASHINGTON, June 90, 1872.
The reception Of Bancroft Davis despatch
on Friday last to the effect that the question Of
the admissibility of indirect claims had passed
from the hands of the agents of the two gov
ernments, and it was now under the control of
the Board Of Arbitration gave rise to the
opinion that what had been matter of differ
ence between the United States and Great
Britain was about to be happily ended. From
dispatches received here within the last two
days it appears that
A SERIOUS QUESTION Is PRESENTED
to the tribunal for settlement, and which may
require an adjournment beyond Wednesday
next for its consideration. The United States,
it appears, still maintain that the claims for
indirect damages are within the treaty, and
although money award is neither desired nor
asked, it is expected that the tribunal
will make such expression of opinion
on this question as it thinks proper
Mr.. Adams, the representative of the
United States on the board, contends that
the tribunal has authority to express an opin-
ion as to the admissibility of these claims,
while Sir Alexander Cockburn, the British
arbitrator, maintains that these claims are not
in the treaty and that the tribunal, therefore,
CANNOT TAKE DOMINANCE OF THEM
in any form; that the motion Of the British
agent is to the effect to ask the tribunal to re-
iect what the agent of the American govern
ment admits is not properly before them
under the seventh article of the treaty; that
if the two governments were agreed upon pre-
senting the claims for indirect damages for ad-
Indication before this tribunal there would have
been no occasion for the protest filed by the
British agent on 18th April last. But the
British government denies in toto that such
claims were ever intended to be presented for
adjudication, and that the decision of the tri-
bunal must be that they are not within their
province. While this contention is confined
exclusively to the Board of Arbitrators, the de-
cision
DEPENDS UPON THE VOTE OF THE MAJORITY,
and involves the consideration of the whole
diplomatic correspondence whether the indi-
rect claims are or are not in the treaty.
