Pastry.

Every hOusekeeper is supposed to know
all about pastry and yet it so often fails
to be the light, flaky article which it should
be, in order to be delicious and wholesome,
that few suggestions may not be de trop.
Very good pastry may be made by
taking two-thirds the proportion of but
ter to flour, instead of the old rule,
s'pound to pound, all the world round
Be sure that your materials are perfectly
nice, for if you must use what is atrOci-
ously called cooking butter" then use
it in combinations with sugar, or molas-
ses, and eggs, and spices. But pastry.
being made only of flour, butter, water
and salt, should never be imposed upon
by inferior ingredients, or it will tell the
tale very quickly. Having weighed your
butter and flour, take out one-third of TIE
butter and crumble it into the flour, adj
ding salt if your butter is very fresh; but
this is not generally needed. Then get
ice-water, or the coolest water you can
find. and pour it gradually with one hand
while you stir it with the other, until the
paste is of a consistency fit to roll out.
Flour the board, and roll this out, and
put over it small pieces of the butter you
have saved out, say as large as a bean, and
about two inches apart. After this is
covered, dredge in some flour lightly.
turn over the edges of the pastry, pound
it once or twice with the rOlling-pin and
roll out as before, using up your butter
in three or four rollings. Bake i'll a
quick oven, and do not open the door to
look at it for few minutes.

Does this Mean Another Constitutional
Amendment!

Mr.. Wendell Phillips's proposition that
Grant should be reelected till every man
in the So,'th over forty years of age can
be put under the ground has been timidly
but clearly supported by the chief Grant
organ in New Y Ork, which recently ceased
plying the whitewash long enough to
have an article on the science of govern
ment, wherein appeared this:
There are points in our parliamentary and elect
i've system which are not beyond the reach of i'm
provement. That the election Of Congressman
every two years and of President every four
years affords not wholly satisfactory method of
giving practical form to the deliberate desire OF
the country in the action of the Government will
hardly be questioned. Whether it will be posi-
BILE to give our whole National Government a Ion
ger term with opportunity to refer its policy, on
country, and with sufficient provision for an
enlightened judgment by the people when con-
suited, is n question for every statesman to con-
slider, and which indeed many earnest men in
both parties have long been considering.
The difference between the earnest men
is this: that those now enlisted i'm the lib
eral movement favored a longer term tor
the Presidency, coupled always with in
eligibility to second incumbency, on
general principles and apart from any par
ucular compelling occasion; whereas ear
nest persons of the Grant stripe only dis
Germ the beauty of a longer term when
fancying their master is sure of a re-elec-
ton. What in the one case wa sugges-
ton of governmental reform pure and
simple becomes in the other mere dodge
to keep certain man in power. The
Times processes to believe it to be absO-
lutely certain that Grant is to have a sec
Ond term, and in the light of this convic-
ton we have it announcing as Il highly de-
sirable change that the President should
hold Office longer than four years. Do
Mr.. Grants people mediate another con-
stitutional amendment tor that purpose?
The outgiving of the Times looks 50 for
when did anybody connected with this
Administration think of or refer to the
law of the United States ex-
cept when some rascal scheme to mould
it to their purposes was in view?-N. y.

The Georgia Result.

The Democratic and Liberal majority
in Georgia is about $4,000. So heavy a
majority against Radicalism in State
whose total population is only ISL, 1O4 is
remarkable and significant; but an analy-
sis OF it revells another fact still more in
teresting. OF the total population of
Georgia 63S 1862 are whites, and 545, I42 are
colored-the white excess being only 3d.
$40. If all the whites should vote one
way and all the cOlored men another, the
excess of whites in the population would
exhibit majority of voters of about 49,
OU- But it seems from the returns that
the actual Democratic and Liberal MAORI
ty is nearly three times this-showing
that considerable number Of the cOlored
voters must have either abstained from
voting, or voted with the Democrats and
Liberals. II the other Southern States
shall exhibit similar result in November
ii even small proportion of the color
ed voters in Mississippi, Florida, Louis
lana and Arkansas should abstain from
voting, or vote for Greeley, then Grant
will lose every Southern State except
South Carolina. This would bring Gree

ADDING Poison TO POIsoN.-There is
no disease in which the blood is not more
or less impregnated with unwholesome
matter. and the direct, inevitable effect of
all preparations containing spirituOus ex-
chants is to increase the volume of poison
in the veins, and thereby aggravate and
prolong the malady. Hence it is that dys-
pepsia, bilious fever, cholera-morbus,
lung complaints, govt, dropsy, rheuma-
tism, nervous disorders, and cases of gen.
eral and local debility, originally mild in
type, are frequently rendered chronic and
dangerous by dosing the sufferers with
the alcoholic bitters advertised as medic
inal stimulants. AS counterblast to
the canards Put forth by the prorrietors
of those pernicious compounds, the plain,
honest, philosophical statements of DR..
JOSEPH WALKER, relative to the nature
and effects of his CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs, are doing world of good. He
has opened the eyes of the public to the
important fact that a pure vegetable
tonic and Alternative, unpolluted by alco-
hol, if not an absolute specific for every
variety of disease, is the nearest approach
to it yet attained. His VINEGAR BITTERs
are unquestionably working such Won
ders in affections of the stomach, bowels,
nervous and muscular systems, and the
glands and respiratory organs.

Marketing Farm Products.

! AS a general rule. the most advantage
Gus time for marketing any product is the
| season when that product natures or is
| fit for the market. 1t is at such times that
dealers and consumers are on the lookout
| to buy, which of itself produces activity
and really makes demand. Rarely is it
the case that any farm product brings a
more profitable price when sold out OF
season. Even when the price is much
higher the loss by decay, by shrinkage,
and by vermin usually more than matches
the extra price. Before taking any article
to market, the owner should determine,
as far as possible, what the market will
probably offer and what price he can af-
ford to and will take. 1t is always safest
and best to take a fair price when offered
rather than the uncertainties of the flu
ture. Farmers whose dealings in the
market are somewhat limited are more or
less prone to demand a higher price than
that offered, even when that price is the
top of the market.
Again, the successful selling of pro-
duct depends largely upon the condition
and appearance of the article when
brought into the presence of the buyer.
The external appearance of a farmers
to de with the price it brings.
Bags of grain, barrels of fruit and
vegetables, if outwardly fresh and clean,
make favorable impression on the buy
er; and, other things being equal, they
bring the highest prices. The value of
poultry is often diminished One-half by
the untidy manner in which it is sent to
market, and so with a variety of other
farm products. Inattention to little
things and carelessness as to time and
manner of sending them often diminishes
the amount realized below living profit.
1t is disgrace to our markets and our
marketmen that every purchaser goes
into them with the distinct impression
that he is to be overreached, either in
quality or quantity. Every farmer, not
only ont of selfrespect, but from self-de-
Tense. should take special pains to make
for himself a reputation for honorable
dealing, SO that he may with pride put
his name upon every box, bale, or barrel
that leaves his establishment with the con-
scious assurance that when i. reaches
market it will be taken promptly at the
market rates, with no misgivings as to
the quality or quantity of its contents,
the producers name being sufficient
guarantee that it is all right. This being
the case. much valuable time will be saved
from going to market, as the reputation
of the producer makes his sales the same
whether he be present or absent.-N. Y.

A Radical Outrage.

| The following letter, received last night
comes from gentleman of the very high
| est character and well known to us per
| sonally. His statements may be relied
| upon as strictly true:
On Saturday, the 21st inst, a great out
rage was perpetrated in this county by Of
ffcers and soldiers of the United States
Government. While the Kings Noun
tain Baptist association, body represent
ing over 5000 COMMITMENTS, was in ses-
sion at Bethlehem church, one Newton
Long, a deputy United States Marshal,
and one Archibald Moss, who seemed to
have some authority from Long, rode up,
accompanied by squad of armed U. S.
soldiers. detailed from Col. Harris COM
mand in LincOlntOn, surrounded the
church and forbade the people to leave.
Long and Moss were both drunk, and
Long cursed and swore freely. The pro-
ceedings of the association were complete
ly broken up. The pastor of the church
went out and endeavored to persuade
them to leave, and on their refusing to do
so the sheriff of the county arrested Long
for disturbing the religious assembly.
The soldiers cooked their guns upon the
sheriff and commanded Long to come out.
Efforts were made to induce them to be-
have, and they were promised they would
laws of the State and of the United States
if they would quietly leave the church
grounds. They rode off in the direction
of the spring, and many members of the
association returned to the house, think
ing they were gone. But they soon re-
turned, and were galloping over the
grounds with their guns and pistols, and
broke up the association that evening.
When the people started home they found
the roads picketed by soldiers who were
under Longs command, and even women
and children were arrested with guns
pointed at them, and compelled to wait
the pleasure of this fellow Long, before
they could get home. Moss, 1 am in
formed by an eyewitness, cooked his pis-
toll at young lady who was driving off
in wagon. and threatened to shoot her
II she didn't stop at once. The whole
proceeding was an outrage upon religious
liberty. perpetrated by officers and SOL
diers of the United States government.
The excuse they rendered tor their con-
duct was that they were searching for one
Maybcrry, who was charged with being a

covered with damp bandage in case there
is much inflammation and local tenderness.
Then rub in the following energetically
for five minutes +: Powdered cantharides.
one dram; red iodine of mercury one
half dram camphor, one scruple; spirits
of wine, one dram; lard six drains. Add
the spirits of wine to the camphor and
then rub up all into the ointment. At the
end of twenty-four hours, apply fresh
lard over the blistered surface, repeating
it daily until the surface comes off; then.
if it be necessary, second application.
and after that a third may be made. A
proper adjustment should be given to the
wearing surface of the hoof and shoe, as
failure sometimes results from neglect of
this precaution. Should lameness per-
sist it may be advisable to proceed to the
extreme measure of using the hot iron.

ley and Brown up from the South with
40 electoral votes out of the whole num-
Der, 366 and they would need to get only
A additional votes in the Northern States
to have majority.
That Greeley and Brown will come up
from the South with this great array of
strength, is not so improbable as it SEEM
ed to be a month ago. The heavy Demo-
cratic and Liberal majority in Georgia
shows that Grant is losing ground amongst
his own partisans at the South, and that
the public sentiment of the intelligent
classes in that region is overwhelmingly
against him, with nothing but languid
negro sentiment to support him. Look
ing at the Southern States in the light of
the Georgia election, South Carolina is
the only one of those States that can be
certainly claimed for him.-Missouri Re

OF course Mr. Boutwell,, having assured
the public that he would buy one million OF
fs dollars of our national bonds on the first
wednesday in October, did on that day !,
HN} actaally buy not one million but three
millions Of those bonds. Equally Of course
private intimations of his intention thus
todcceive the public were given out in

paid them prices above the market rates

purchases of the Government, and at the
expense of all legitimate business men
who found the money market disordered

ton in bonds on Wednesday was followed
up yesterday by Mr.. Boutwell, with sale
sSHfiz but to the advertised limit of million
only in the face of the news that the
Bank Of England had suddenly put up its
rate to five per cent. The net result of
these proceedings on the part of the
Treasury and of its speculative favorites
in New York, was something very like a
panic in Wall street yesterday. But for

Maryland Beef-Eaters In the Custom
House.

The Eastern District of Maryland is,
through and by the grace of somebody, a
custOm-hOuse district. Its foreign COM
merce resembles the Arizona diamond
discovery. Location, harbor, and natural
advantages denote that commerce should
exist in that delightful district, as the
soil, the climate, and the geological FORM
alton indicate that there should be dia-
mOnds in Arizona. But commerce does
not exist-at least the discovery has not
yet been made clear. If we believe the
official returns we find that during the
year ending March, 1872, its foreign i'm
ports were nothing, while its exports dur
ing that year were 50, 500.
In fact it is custOm-hOuse district
merely in name. Nevertheless the Ad-
ministration is very decently represented,
as the following officials draw regularly
their salary for experimenting the foreign
imports OF nothing, viz:
Salary;
One deputy collector ..............s 81, $50
One deputy collector Observation-Disclosures. LOO
One collector ----....--...---.-----.. i'soo
We beg to point out to the learned
Howadji and civil service reformer that in
giving the titles and salaries of the fore
going three officials we strictly copied
from the Secretary's report. page 800,
where the deputy collectors are named
first, and the collector with his 81 200 sal
ary is named last.
This is certainly breach of official Ell
qu"tte and should be looked into, unless
the collector is an absentee. 1t would be
as well to know whether all three officials
are not absentees, as it seems either very
ridiculous or very rascally to pay S3,S6O
to deputy collectors and collector where
there is nothing to collect. The price
paid would be considered dear by unoffi-
cial barbarians. even if the three officials
in the Eastern District of Maryland should
be as accomplished as DIR. johnson, or,
what would certainly be impossible, know
as much about the civil service as the ac-
Howadji himself.--N. Y.
