An Indignant Editor.

1t seems impossible to get the name
"Binghamton. New York." into an
Ohio newspaper. We have laborious-
ly printed it in the manuscript, and
the compositor always thinks the p
must have been left out by accident.
and he puts it "Binghampton." Then
we have tried writing it with a p. and
afterwards strike out the p in the most
obstrusive manner possible-but the
Intelligent compositor thinks this is
the result of fit of emotional insanity,
and the word appears as regularly as
before, "Binghampton." Then we
have corrected il in the proof with
vigorous dele, which is the sign in all
languages Of the proof-readers's take

ghost (only the other end first.) as
"Binghamdton." Ii is no use. You
can't convince any printer that
the name of the respectable old
party the town was called for was
Bingham. and not Binghamp. any

Washing Butter.

This practice il by some butter ma
kers looked upon as injurious, and it is
point upon which diverse opinions
are held. One says, Il never allow a
particle of water to touch my butter"
1t is claimed that by this practice the
butter has richer flavor that washing
takes away. If the butter could be ell
tirely freed from cascin, which even
washing will not do perfectly, it
would keep almost indefinitely with
good care. But we are told that un-
washed butter contains about five or
six per cent. of casein, while that
which is washed will retain about one
per cent. of il.
We believe that is better TO wash
the casein than to work il out, even if
working would do 1t as well. for the
reason that the less you work the but
ter the better ii is. If there were some
process whereby the butter could be
extracted from the milk Immediately
after il is taken from the COW, and the
animal heat is gone, without injury to
the butter, the keeping qualities of
butter would be greatly improved. Is
il hoping too much that science will
some day do it?
~ iaTSe proportion OF the lnllk as III
comes from the COW is water. and why
should pure water injure butter! We
can readily see that if the water con-
tains mineral substances, or is impure,
it would do it. No one claims but
that washing is necessary where but
ter is intended for long keeping. and,
if, as is claimed, the aroma is washed
away, there is no doubt but that this
aroma is from the cascin that remains
in all unwashcd butter, for even wash
ing will not extract all Of il.
One thing is exploded that has long
been hobby. and that is that YOU
must pound about so long to get good |
butter. If the temperature is right |
and the previous care has been right.
five to ten minutes will bring as good |
or better butter than hours of pound
ing. This we have demonstrated to |
our satisfaction. and we are prepared |
TO expect that other changes will come
in due time i'm butter making. The |
sooner butter is made and the air shut |
from il the better. if the next hour |
after the milk is drawn from the COW. |

Poultry for Eggs and Market.

The best breed Of fowls to rear 70,
ihe market, or as egg-prOducers, de-
ponds upon locality; as while in some
places one variety is deemed the best.
in Others it would prove the reverse.
Our own opinion is that for a market
fowl, the Brahmas and Cochins will,
under almost all circumstances, prove
the most desirable, they being the
least liable to disease, feathering up
quickly, and can be bred to weigh, at
IRON four to six months of age, eight
to ten pounds. Another good table
fowl is the Dorking (cock crossed with
the Brahma (hen). The flesh of this
cross is sweet and nutritious, and ac-
quires at an early age the plumpness
OF the Dorking at maturity. There are
other breeds, however. which are said
to be desirable to raise for the table.
Many claim that the French breed of
fowls are Of this number, but this we
much doubt, as their flesh lacks that
buftery, golden color that attracts the
eye of the epicure. They may prove
valuable as egg producers, but they
lack many good qualities as table
bird. Dorkings are undoubtedly at
the head of the list as table birds, but
of late years have become so subject to
disease that we question the feasibility
of rearing them profitably for market
in our changcable northern climate.
As cgg-producers the Hamburgs are
claimed to stand at the head of the list.
This claim we are prepared to dispute;
for, as winter layers, we find that the
Brahma, Cochin, Leghorn, Poland and
Houdan stand relatively i'm the position
here named. That the Hamburgs are
good egg-producers we admit: but
that they are any better than number
of nOn-setting fowls, so called, we
deny. The richness and meatiness of
their eggs are not to be compared with
those of the Poland, Leghorn, Houdan.
or Brahma, and their legs lack the size
of those named. All things considered
we have no hesitancy in saying that
for eggs we should name the Polands.
for the table Dorkings, and for early
chickens Brahmas and CO.

A NATURAL CURIOSITY.

In the county of Bent, on the Purga
toire river, there is natural curiosity
worthy of public mention and elaborate
description, of which we have as yet
seen no account. On the smooth sur
face of sandstone cliff, overhung by
a high wall of rock, there is the life
size picture of a grizzly bear. The pic
ture is not an accidental resemblance
to the figure of Bruin, but a picture
more perfect and life-like than any hui
man art could supply. The short tail,
standing straight out, the ears visible,
the claws standing out in bold relief,
the mouth open, with lips and teeth
Iplain to be seen, the natural attitude,
all demonstrate beyond shadow Of
doubt that the picture is a photograph
from life, taken by some unknown and
mysterious process, which we shall not
attempt to explain. The figure is about
nine feet in length, showing the mon
arch of the Rocky Mountains in full
stature and in the perfection of his
strength. 1t may be added that this
remarkable picture, which appears to
stain the rock to the depth of quarter
of al inch, has been there as far back
as the earliest trappers know anything
of the country, and during that time
has been an object of reverence by the
Indians, who have been in the habit of
resorting thither to make their medi-
cine" The suggestion has been made
that the atmosphere, i'll certain condi-
tons, while the face of the rock was
in state appropriation, would admit of
the likeness being taken by a stroke of
lightning during the progress of
storm. 1t has been theory, said to
have been exemplitied by likenesscs tax
IN upon window glass, that under GER
tain conditions nature does photograph
ng upon her own account. Be this as
t may, Of the lite-like fidelity of the
picture in question to a genuine griz,
lily bear We are witnesses. We leave
he explanation TO those who. under
stand the matter.-Pueblo (Ca. People

CLOSING CRACKS IN SToyEs.-It NAV
be convenient to know a ready method
OF closing cracks, which are not un
common in cast iron stoves; and we
are assured that the following receipt
is reliable one: Good wood ashes
are to be sifted through fine sive, to
which is added the same quantity of
clay, finely pulverized together with a
little salt. The mixture is to be moist
ened with water enough to make a
paste, and the crack of the stove filled
with it. This cement does not peel off
or break away, and assumes an extreme
degree of hardness after being heated
The stove must be cool when the APP
plication is made. The same substance
may be used in setting in the plates of
a stove, or in fitting stove-pipe, serving
to render all the joints perfectly tight

News Items by Mail.

A man named Franklin, living in st. Louis,
has sued for a divorce from his wife on account
of her cruel conduct toward him. This anna
BILE woman has stabbed her husband on -four
different occasions. She has repeatedly struck
him with clubs and has often seized him by
the throat and beaten him with her fist. The
reason or this peremptory course of treatment
was not his drunkenness or unfaithfulness On
the contrary, the only charge that she makes
against him is that he would not vote as she
wished him too.
No less than S91 people living at Tichborne, on
part of the Tichborne estates, have signed a
petition asking that the Crown advance money
to the claimant to assist him in his defense in
his forthcoming trial. That nearly nine hun
bred of the Tichborne tenantry should thus
openly side with the claimant, seems at first
glance proof that his pretensions are widely
believed in. tsb-sf atW

RECORD OF CRIME IN NEW YoRK.-Accord-
ing to the report of the Board of Commission
ers of Public Charities and Correction, there
were 81 ,466 persons arrested in New York dur
ing 1871 charged with vice and crime and dis
posed of by the police and criminal courts. OF
these, 7150 were native born and "a ,316 for
eigners. In the first class 5,265 were females,
and in the latter IA, 077, showing that of the re-
spective totals while the female native Offend
ers were less than half, those of foreign birth
composed more than two-thirds.f Among them
were offenders of all ages, from the precocious
children of tender years to the hardened often
der of three score and ten, $3.50 being under 10
years, and 214 over70. The nationalities which
furnished the chief number of offenders stand
as follows: Ireland, 25,693; United States, 49,
572; Germany, 5,077; England, 1905; Scotland
$50; Canada, 1878; France, 348; Prussia, 271; the
rest composed IA other nationalities, each total
being under 80. The Chinese numbered %,
two of them females. ~ l4 ~
Of the incorporate the total was 32,707; II,
40 being females. Thus nearly two-thirds of
the whole number arrested were the victims of
