PACKING BUTTER.-A new method
of packing butter for the retail trade
has been invented, and it promises to
answer a want long felt. The new
process is described as follows: A
firkin or barrel is prepared by filling
to a proper depth with strong and
pure brine. The butter, as it IS taken
from the churn and prepared for
market, is carefully selected as to
color and quality and enclosed in
plain cotton bags or sacks, weighing
from five to ten pounds each. These
sacks are placed in the barrel or fir
kin, fresh ana sweet, and as the brine
completely covers them they can be
kept in this condition for any length
of time. it is claimed, without any
deterioration in quality One great
advantage that is claimed for this
new style of packing is, that dealers
can take one or more of the bags from
the original package, leaving the rest
safe under cover OF the brine and ex
cluded from the air. The bags are
suited to the retail trade, as they are
just about what is generally needed
for family use, but are at the same
time so conveniently arranged that
any smaller amount can be cut from
them In the handiest manner. This
is an experiment in packing butter,
but it is worthy of consideration by
retail dealers.

The CHRONICLE
THE OLD WHITE HAT.
BY BOB JENNINGS.

When this old hat was new, my bows.
The De mOcrats swore freely,
And day and night, with great delight,
They cursed old Horace Greeley.
But now a change has DER them come,
The like 1 never saw,
They now are wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting Chappaqua.
Charles Summers now a patriot,
A statesman tried and true"
But Bully Brooks broke Summers head,
When this old hat was new.
The Democrats ali cried well done,
And said he'd got his due,
And swore they'd hang old Greeley next
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new nv bows
The very air was rent
With shouts from Democratic throats,
FOR white mans government"
But now they are for equal rights,
To every race and hue.
They've turned their backs on all they
said,
Whenthi old hat was new.
Eutt still it does seem strange to me.
'Ifs bard to think so really,
That Hendricks should be showed aside.
For Uncle Horace Greeley.
For Hendricks was Democrat,
To his party always true,
And Greeley was its direst foe,
When this old hat was new.
But let us take our dish of dirt,
And try to put IL through,
And turn our backs upon the past
When this old hat was new.
And when we get old Greeley in,
Wen send him to that shore
Where Harrison and Taylor
And Lincoln's gone before.
And then with Gratz and Cousin Frank,
And all of the Blair crew,
Wen soon restore the days Of yore,
When this old hat was new.

One of the NEST significant features
of the present campaign is the re-
markable unanimity OF the ointment
which pervades the religious press in
regard to the political crisis. A dis
tinguished publieist, for many years
connected with one of the leading
religious journals of the country,
states that of the whole number Of
Protestant religious papers published
there are less than a dozen who do
not heartily support the Republican
party and its candidates. This is a
significant fact That portion of the
press is a great lower in the land and
the influence it exerts cannot but
make itself very strongly felt. What
is the reason why the sanctuary and
the school house should thus be
arrayed as a unit against Greeley?

PRESERVING FRUIT.-As the sea-
son for preserving fruit is at hand,
the following description of the Rus
siaD method may suggest \ useful
hint to our fruit growers. When
Russian wishes to put away app es or
pears for future use he mOistens a
Quantity Of quiek-lime with water
containing a little creOsOte, so as to
cause it TO fall into powder. The
fruit is then packed in a wooden box,
the bottom of which Is filled in to the
depth of an inch with the lime. This
stratum is to be covered with a sheet
of paper, and the fruit laid into this,
each piece by itself so that no one
touches another. A sheet of paper
is to be placed on the top Of this layer
of fruit and then a second layer of
lime sifted in. In this way lime.
paper and fruit are to alternate until
the box is filled. The corners are to
be then filled with finely powdered
charcoal. By covering the box with
a tightly fitting top the fruit will, it
is said, be kept fresh for nearly a
year.

YOUNGSTOWN.

ED. CHRoNICLE:-A large body of
men is now at work clearing away
the debris and rebuilding those parts
damaged by the terrible accident of
last Wednesday at the Mahoning Iron
Works. In a few weeks it is hoped
that the mill will be running as usu-
al. and with increased facilities. The
man Quiely who was injured so badly
and not expected to live, is growing
stronger and better every day, so that
hopes are now entertained of his re-
covery. Another accident occurred
Thursday, at the Nut and Bolt Facto-
tory, by which boy working there
came near meeting his death. He
was caught by some machinery. and
large hole torn in his right side, ex-
posing to view, and, as I understand,
losing some of his bowels. The
wound was sewed up and the boy
properly cared for-he will recover.
POLITICS.
When Horace Greeley was nomi-
mated at Cincinnati, Republicans,
Democrats, and Soreheads, all lifted
up their hands in astonishment, and
all laughed at the absurdity of the
thing; Democrats particularly. They
fretted and fumed, and swore they
would never give him their support,
until when State Convention after
State Convention ratified and en-
dorsed both him and the platform
the tune was, by some, miraculous
metamorphosis. changed into itsoppo-
site, and the man whom for years they
had reviled. and opposed with no
mercy, they took to their loving
breasts, and now nurture upon Demo-
cratic milk the man who had tried
every thing else and failed, and as a
final act in this serio-comic drama
they will vote for him. In much the
same way Richard Brown has been
nominated by Democracy &Co., in the
18th District. The whiskey peddIers
and whiskey drinkers who cursed the
Prohibition candidate and his party,
now receive them with open arms,
and hand in hand they will go for
ward to defeat in October next. I
bear no i'll will toward the Prohibi-
ton party; I merely protest against
making it political issue at present:
but by joining the Democratic party
in this District they have done the
cause an injury which cannot soon be
healed. They say it is the lion lying
down with the lamb, but I fear with
Josh Billings, that when they get up
the lamb will be missing. They are
also pleased to call it magnanimity,
but no sensible person is going to be-
lieve thai. What is it? Why moth
ing more than this: The Democrats
have wisdom enough to know that
alone they can do nothing, and so
propose this misunderstanding that by
it they increase the chances of beating
Woodwork, who can do them more
injury than Brown, because he is an
ADLER man, and not to be imposed up
on. The Prohibitionists. fiattered and
blinded, agree to the proposition.-
Richard Brown, from having once a
desire to further the cause of tenn
perance, and suddenly finding him
self great, is now consumed bv
desire for Office and further renown.
because no man with decisive princi-
Piles and a strong character, could
cOnscientiously lend aid to a party
whose every mean and end, every
object, and every endeavor, are or
were in direct antagonism to those
Of his own. Does Richard Brown

THE CIVIL SERVICE.

Another cry is directed at what
they call the abuses in the civil SER
vice of the country. But is it the
Democratic party to which We are to
look for improvement in this partic-
ular? 1 am free to confess, after a
great deal of study and Investigation,
of all persons in this country who are
known as bitterly opposed 70 reform
in the civil service, none are more
helplessly so than leading gentlemen
who nominated Horace Greeley at
Cincinnati. The present system came
in with General Jackson, who re-
garded all the offices as the plunder
of the dominant marty. When Gen.
Grant was elected, he desired to effect
a reform in this service; but when
you reflect upon the enormous extent
and the number Of offices to be filled,
you will see at once a personal ac-
quaintance amounts to nothing, and
the President must depend upon the
of Senators and Rep
A great many of the
offices are of no importance. Out of
81, 600 pOstofiices 1000 pay less than
Sl0O a year. But they have become
sort OF currency by which members
Of Congress pay their political debts.
In all these appointments the Senate
is responsible, as it confirms them
and it has also usurped the proper
functions of the President by de-
that no nomination shall
be confirmed except it is confirmed
