The Iron Mountains OF Missouri.

Prot. Waterhouse, IN a recent paper
on the resources of Missouri, gives the
following description of the Iron Noun.
tains for which that State is so famous
" Shepherd Mountain is eco feet high.
The ore contains large percentage of
iron. The height of Pilot Knob above
the Mississippi river is ,1lS feet. Its
base, 5Sl feet from the summit, is 800
acres. The upper section of l4l feet is
Judged to contain IA, 900, 900 tons of ore.
The elevation of Iron Mountain is DDS
feet, and the area of its base 500 acres.
The solid contents of the cone are $780,.
100000 tons. 1t is thought that every
foot beneath the surface wild yield
3 1000, 900 tons of ore. At the depth of
$50 feet, the artesian auger was still
penetrating solid ore. These mountains
contain enough ore above the surface to
afford for 200 years an annual supply of
100000 tons. The iron is strong,
tough, and fibrous."
HORACE WALPoLE describes a scene as
having taken place in Queen Anne's
tiring-room which actually occurred in
that of Queen Caroline, wife of George
H., who dressed and transacted her
morning worship at the same time, she
and her nymphs being in the one room
while the chaplain was alone in the
next. Occasionally the maids closed
the door, when Winston, the chaplain,
ceased to pray, and meditated on the
mysterious proceedings within. This
nettled the Queen, who one morning,
finding that he had not proceeded with
his devotions while;the door had been
closed, angrily asked why he stopped.
Winston replied: 81 stopped because
! do not choose to whistle the word of
God through key-hole."

Digging and Storing Early Potatoes.

WE know large potato-grower in
Western New York who dug ten or a
dozen acres of early rose potatoes last
year in August. He was offered forty cents
a bushel for them at the time, but thinking
they would be higher he pitted them in
the field. He apprehended no danger and
it was only for some casual reason that he
opened one of the heaps when he was
surprised to find it so hot that he could
scarcely bear his hand in it. Had they been
left a few days longer every potato would
have been spoiled. As it was he immediate
ly drew them into his barns and basement
cellar, and was glad to take the first offer
he could get for them.
Early potatoes should be barreled and
marketed as soon as they are dug, or else
they should be placed in thin layers or
snail heaps in barn Cr cellar, and turned
over occasionally if there are any signs OF
heating. If this can not be done, it is
better to leave them in the ground until
cool weather sets in. In the case we have
alluded to, the farmer dug them because
he wanted to sow the land to winter-wheat.
The expense of handling potatoes is SO
great, that, as rule, those farmers make
the most profit, especially in the case
of early potatoes, who ship them directly
from the field-1mericdn Agricutturist.

Packing Butter.

A correspondent of the Rural Neal
Yorker adopts this plan for keeping but.
ter sweet for long periods. He has tight
and strongly hooped tubs of oak with
heads at both ends. The tubs are four.
teen inches in diameter at top and nine
inches at bottom, and about sixteen in.
ches high.
Now in packing this tub, a sack OF
white cambria is made to fit the tub for
the reception of the butter. 1t is placed
in the tub as it stands on the small end,
the sides of the sack being long enough
to extend over the top of the tub. The
butter is packed firmly in this sack until
within one and three-eighths inches of the
top of the tub, when circular piece OF
cloth is laid on the top of the butter, and
the sides of the sack brought over and
nicely plated down over the circular
cover. A layer of fine salt is now laid on
top, the head put in, and the hoops driven
so as to make perfectly tight fit that
will not admit of leakage.
The tub is now turned upon the large
head, and the butter in the sack drops
down upon the larger end, leaving a
space between it and the sides and top OF
the tub. Now strong brine is poured in
at hole in the bottom until it fills all the
intervening space between the tub and
the butter, when the hole is closed per.
tectly tight with a cork. The brine floats
the butter, so that it is completely sur.
rounded with the liquid, and thus it is
effectually excluded from the air.
Butter packed in this way, and placed
in cool, clean, well-ventilated cellar,
will keep sweet and sound for long
periods, and will go to market in prime
condition. When the butter is to be used
= %l1A \, -, 49,, al ,l tl1
hoops started, and the large head taken
off, when the butter may be lifted entirely
out of the tub by taking hold of the ends
platter or large earthen dish, the cloth re-
moved from the top, and the butter cut
in desirable shapes for the table or for
sale. If any portion remains, or is not
wanted for immediate use, that portion
may be returned to the tub, and in this
way it can be preserved for future use.
The plan is a novel one for keeping but.
ter sweet and sound, and we are informed
has met with entire success. The pack.
age holds about fifty pounds.
When the butter is required for use, by
lifting it from the tub and turning down
the sack, the butter may be cut in hand.
some shape to come upon the table, which
cannot be done in the ordinary way OF
packing, as the butter must then be dug
out in small particles, or cut in untidy
pieces.
Butter for the winter market is often
packed in firkins holding from sixty to
eighty pounds. The firkins are made
strong and tight, are provided with heads,
and when filled are headed up and brine
poured through hole in the top head, so
as to fill all intervening spaces. In pack
ing butter for market, it is important to
have neat and well made package. If
due attention has been given to the manu-
facture and to the packages, and if the
butter has been preserved sweet and
sound, there will be no trouble in market
ing it at good price.

Greeley's Bargain for the Presidency.

IF we can believe the statements of one
of the negotiators for peace at Niagara in
1S64-when Greeley wanted to pay $780,
000,00 to the Confederates for slaves
which President Lincoln had already pro-
claimed to be free men and women-it
was also part of the same agreement
that Greeley was to be the next President
in place of Lincoln, and that for his
services and kindness to the rebels he
should receive their support for that
Office. In pursuance of this agreement,
Greeley wrote letters to the loyal Cover
nors of States seeking their aid to displace
Lincoln. He then failed, but the agree
ment of the late rebels continues; he is
and has been their servant he gave bail
for their chief, JEFF. Davis-they in turn
supported him at Baltimore. What a
flood of light would break upon the coun-
try if the people could see Horace Gree
ley's entire agreement at Niagara in
1864, could know the verbal agreement as
well as the written one made at that time
between Greeley and the rebels.-Neso

EDITORIAL OPINIoNs.-An advertise
ment is, as general rule, an elaborate
eulogium on the merits of something
which the advertiser desires to sell. The
editors and publishers of the paper in
which it appears are not responsible for
its statements. Sometimes, however,
highly important discoveries or inven-
tions, announced to the world through the
business department of the press, seem to
demand a few words of editorial commen-
dation. We have no hesitation in saying
that the excellent medicine introduced
by DR.. Joseph Walker, of California,
under the name of VINEGAR BTTTERs,
belongs to this category, and has just
claim to a favorable notice. There can
be no doubt as to its utility as a tonic,
stomachic and alternative. We are cog
infant of many instances in which it has
cured cases of chronic dyspepsia, sup
posed to be incurable, and know that the
estimation in which it is held as a remedy
for bilious and nervous disorders, inter.
mittent and remittent fevers, rheuma.
tism and general debility, is founded on
experience and well deserved. The testi
mony of "a cloud of witnesses" goes to
show that it is eminently useful in large
majority of the disorders TO which the hu.
man family are subject. The fact that ii
contains no alcohol commends it to the
confidence of that large and increasing
class of the community who insist that all
spirituous stimulants are active poisons.

Etiquette for Young Children.

Do not attempt to teach your children
all the rules of table etiquette, and then
command them to live up to them. 1t is
a cruel task for any young child to keep
still. He was never made to sit like a
ramrod, straight and stiff, but wants to
eat and wriggle-and eat and move-and
eat and chat-and eat and laugh; thus
rendering it utterly impossible for MIN to
eat too fast, and do all those things he so
much likes to do when unrestrained.
Suppose an accident occurs at the table,
and tumbler is broken, or a spoonful of
sauce goes anywhere but to the child's
mouth suppose the table-cloth and his
napkins are soiled, it is of no consequence
when put in comparison with injured di
gestive organs and rapidlyswallowed
dinner is sure to hurt the digestion, tc
weaken the process and, if followed uI
for a time, will surely make a case o.
dyspepsia. Eating was designed by Hin
