The Investigations Failures.

The Investigations Failures.
The New York Tribune admits
that the proceedings against Secre-
tary Robson have "broken down. "
Perhaps, now, some one else
would like to invent a slander
against the administration, that its
enemies may be compelled to ad-
nit its unsullied character. These
investigations are building up the
President they were intended to de-
stoy. Chambrun has confessed
himself a libeler, and the French
arms "scandaT" is scandalous only
to the believers in that vagabond;
the French government denies that
it ever asked an Investigation, and
Sumner is proved to have taken
counsel of his biliousness rather than
his judgment.

only the same, but for disasters of
other kinds. In the erection of
some of the largest buildings, intend

Everything has been done with fe-

How to Dislnfect q House.

Mix common salt and black maganese,
about equal weights, and take about a
pound of the mixed powder for each cubic
yard in the house. Place it in pan deep
enough to hold thrice as much, in any
room where you can arrange to upset a
vessel of acid into it by pulling string out
side the house. This will be oil of vitriol
or boiled sulphuric acid Specific gravity
1.S), weight double that of the maganese.
Make all openings except chimneys air.
tight, and leave no water or wet things
within, or polished metals, unless you
want them dmmed. Then pull the
string that pours the acid on the
powder. The object is to fill the house
with chlorine gas, which, being heavy, even
while warm, will accumulate from the
ground upward, expelling the air by the
chimneys. However tight the lower open
ings, you will probably smell little of it
as warm sea breeze. By next morning
the law of gaseous diffusion will, even
through the chimneys only, have disposed
all of its traces; and it will, meanwhile,
have found out every unclean atom, Turk
where it may, and killed every germ or
sperm, zymotic or anmalcuiar, deader than
any other killing known.

A correspondent sends the following plan
for making barrel of apple butter: "Soon
as the cider is brought from the press, we
proceed to boil it down as quickly as posi-
BILE to avoid fermentation; but instead of
beginning to fill in with apples when half
boiled, and stirring with paddle twelve
hours, we continue the boiling process until
it is all boiled down to good syrup, say
about five gallons into one, which can be
poured into wood or stone vessel, and
will keep if not ready to make up imme-
diately. The evening previous to making
up, with the assistance of our men folks,
we prepare and core our apples, which we
stew in little sweet cider if we have it,
otherwise water or some of the boiled ci-
der weakened down. When the apples are
cooked soft we commence stirring, adding
the bottled cider as fast as it will bear,
four bushels of apples being quite sufficient
for thirty-two gallons of cider. Three
hours brisk boiling, with constant stirring,
will make it strong enough to keep a year
if desired"

LOCAL PoLITICS.-Colonel John r.
Popham, of this city, Republican canvasser
for the State at large, will address the peo-
pie at Stafford Courthouse on Wednesday
next. and also at Fredericksburg at night
of the same day.
The Republicans of Monroe ward are in
vited to meet at the Third-street Methodist
church tonight, at 1870 o'clock. A full
meeting is desired, and we trust every
member of the Grant and Wilson CLUB will
be present.
We learn that all the workmen employ
ed on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
will avail themselves OF the liberal and
generous offer of Gen. Wickham to return
home to vote on the 9Th of November.
There is very large force employed on the
track beyond the State line. The force con-
sists of members of both political parties, of
course, but it is right and proper that all
should be enabled to exercise the right of
freemen.
The Republicans of Clay ward had rousing
meeting last night. James Morrissey made
a speech Of considerable length, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The late
successes in Northern States gave zest to
the proceedings of the meeting. The cleo
ton of officers of the club was postponed
until the next meeting.
One of the series of meetings under the
auspices of the Third Congressional dis
trct committee will be held at Louisa
Courthouse, at II NJ. tomorrow (Satur-
day.. A large number of Republicans OF
this city will be in attendance, among
them several able speakers. The meeting
promises to be fine success.

Every one knows how superior is the
reputation OF Philadelphia butter, and
many have been the attempts to account
for it. Perhaps, the most popular notion
was that it was due to the prevalence of
the "sweet vernal grass" in our pas
lures and hay fields, the grass which often
gives so peculiar fragrance to meadow
hay. But it needed very little reasoning
to demolish such a theory as this. This
grass is one of the poorest for hay or pas
ture purposes, and scarcely exists, except
on cold clay lands, in partially shady places
near groves or low woods. Yet, while this
grass is the exception, indeed, the very rare
exceptions, in low pastures, or in the hay
fed to your cows, good butter is the liberal
rule in all our markets.
1t has long been the opinion of our best
agricultural generaizers offacts that we owe
much more of the sweetness ofour butter to
the abundance of springs and spring houses
in our State, than to anything peculiar
which grows in our pastures. Milk has
peculiar affinity for any odors in the at
lnosphere, and water has some hence,
whatever impurities may get into the at
mosphere of the spring-house is drawn out
by running water, and the very best Sc
curity is provided against their being abb
sorbed by the cream.
We notice this now through observing an
inquiry whether the light of kerosene
lamp in dairy could possibly affect the
quality of the butter; we should answer
most decidedly in the affirmative. All
odors of every description should be care
fully avoided, if the very best brand is de-
sired.
There is one little incident in this repu-
tation of Philadelphia butter which must
never be forgotten. The followers of Penn
made up class of our original farming
population. With these cleanliness was
especially one of the virtues. 1t was not a
mere sentiment that it was "neXt to godli-
ness" but an everyday testimony in all
they did.
Aided in these clearly practices by
their numerous springs and spring-houses,
we have little doubt we owe to them as
much as to any other circumstances the
eminent character which Philadelphia but.
ter enjoys; and we believe that if other
quarters would give especial attention to
these little nceties, as good butter might
be had in any part Of tho Union as here
Ge;'mahtoun ielepdDh.

important TO Tohncco Dealers

Washington, October 1.-THE Commits
soner Of Internal Revenue writes to the
Assessor of the Second district, Concord.
n. H., saying that under the law and regu-
lations of the Commissioners tobacco
or cigar manufacturer may sell in bulk,
without the payment of tax, refuse scraps,
clippings, &C., incidental to his own bust
ness ; but the law does NOT allow, and the
regulations never contemplated the general
purchase and sale of this class of tobacco
in bulk and without the payment of the
tax. The sales must be limited to tobac-
co scraps, waste, clippings, &C.,
which have resulted from the
manufacturers own business and sold
as material" to be further manipu-
lated or manufactured or mixed with other
manufactured tobacco. Permits for the
sale of this class of tobacco to manufac-
turers of cigars or tobacco must be kept
within the limits Of the law and regulations.
Another decision says: "No license or
special tax is required in order to enable q
person to purchase tobacco Of sheriff or
any other person; but where one makes
business by buying and selling tobacco he is
required to pay Especial tax either as dealer
in leaf tobacco or n retailer in leaf tobacco,
as the case may be. The inability attaches
to the selling, and mode Of selling deter
mines the amount of tax to be paid"

Horse table Floors.

A correspondent of the Rural Nelo
Yorker, who has no patent to offer, but
who protests against bare floors of any
construction for any animal, says:
SIT is true dishlng floor may be very
safe against any horse rolling himself upon
his back against the partition; but let him
try standing all day and night with the out
side of his sh0e-sole raised even little,
and try race the next day with an equal
who has slept in good bed. | have known
several good, Uery good, horses, that would
not stale upon the bare floor SO as to COM
petely empty the bladder in a month, very
much to their injury. Horses paw their
bedding for two reasons. When tired they
want their heels raised, and try to pile up
the straw for that purpose. Il the floor
stands very much backward, my remedy
is to take an inch board about four inches
wide, bevel it to nearly an edge on one
side. Nail this thin edge forward to the
floor, across the stall, just where the heels
of their fore feet come when they stand at
ease after eating their meals. They will
soon learn to use it and not paw the bed
ding, if it is properly spread. Improper
spreading Of bedding is another reason
for paving. If it is not put far enough
back for the hips to lie upon it, the horse
will try to fix it. have purchased several
bad pawers, and have never failed to break
them by long bed and standing rest. The
fools are generally at the small end of the
halter.
About stating on clean bed. 1t shows
how much the animal dis1lkes to spatter
his clean legs. When the groom goes il
the stable to put down bedding, first throw
in a little straw--or sawdust, if preferred
in the proper place to catch the urine,
letting it make noise enough for the ANNA
to hear it. Let them be quiet for mo.
ment and they will be sure to use it, whar
it should be scraped out clean, and the bee
put down.
A tired farmer will not stop to buckle
pads upon the tender parts of his horse
nor will the horse thank any one for put
ting straps and strings about his limbs t
hold on pads,

The Preparaiion eff Ten.

The definite effects sought from tea drink
ing over and above the mere comfort given
by the hot liquid are produced by two in
gradients of the leaf-the alkaloid theme
and the aromatic matter. The latter is
what is chiefly valued by the refined con-
nosseur of tea, and accordingly he or she
makes tea by pouring perfectly boiling wa
ter on large allowance of leaf, drinking
off the first infusion and rejecting the rest.
Made in this manner tea is, no doubt, not
only very pleasant beverage, but also
most useful restorative; but, unfortunate
ly, so far from being cheap, it is costly
beverage, and the poor cannot afford to
drink it. The plan which they adopt is
that of slow stewing, the teapot standing
for hours together upon the hob.
The result Of this kind of cooking is that
a very high percentage of theme land also of
the astringent substances which are ruin
GUS to fine flavor is extracted and the
tea, though poor enough as regards any
qualities which refined taste would value,
is, says the Lancet, decided potent phys
biological agent. -Nature and Science, Serb

GEORGIA. Democratic majority
m Georgia for Governor is estimated at
$4,000. The registration of 1867 showed a
white majority of not quite 800. A fair
presumption is that as many whites voted
the Republican ticket as there were blacks
who voted the Democratic ticket. If this
be so, how comes this tremendous majori-
ty? We incline to the belief that the man
ayers have overdone the thing. Fifteen or
twenty thousand would not have aroused
so much suspicion. But when it reaches
$1,000 or 10000, it carries upon its face in
timidation, or something else as bad, if not
worse. Victories of this kind in the South
are defeats in the North and West. They
draw the lines tighter and more distinct
between the sections, just as we predicted
Greeley's candidacy would do. There is
very little reconciliation" or "puritica-
ton" in Reconsideration Valley Vuginian
