Temperature of the Air in making Butter.
Recent experiments indicate that the best
temperature OF the air, as we'll as of the
cream. for rapid churning OF butter, is fiom
81 to SO degrees, ms cad of the average OF &c
degrees, as generally taken. A cellar, with
temperature regulated by means OF a ther-
mometer, seems most suitable for the pur-
pose, especially in summer.

together at temperature of from 1914 to 240
degrees, in order that the rubber may be COM

Whom tho jury in the Tweed case
were discharged yesterday, because
Of their inability to agree upon vir-
dict Mr.. Heckbam, the prosecutor,
who seems to be q very unteeling
sort Of person, requested the court
to proceed to q new trial forthwith.
The Boss lawyer-Graham of the
flowing locks hoped that tho court
would pity tho SORROWS of poor old
man, and give his client time to get
his wind before trying him again.
Such an investigation is very wear
ing on u mans nerves. 1t requires
an immense consumption of phOs-
phOrus on the part Of counsel, and is
very depicting to clients purse. We
have the news, also, that the grand
jury have just returned several addi-
tiOnal Indictment against Tweed, and
for the sake of variety it might bo well
to try him on one Of these before he
has q new trial on tho old charge.

Death or Three Hundred and
TWenty.One Persons.

No sadder accident than that to the
immigra Mt steamship, Northfeet, in
the English Channel, on the 22d ult. +,
has happened Of late. Of all the late
horrid ravages death has made, by
fire, storm, or railroad disaster, none
compare with the fearful fatality al
tending tho collision of an un
known vessel with the Northfeet.
The latter was bound for Australia,
and had on board 4'2 persons, 4l2 OF
whom were passengers. At the time
the ships collidcd tho passengers
were in their ber,bs, dreaming of
everything but the terrible death so
near to most of them. No wonder
that there was a panic when the pas
sengers learned their condition. To
be calm then was impossible. What
seems more heartrending is to know
that the steamer co'liding paid no at
tention to the wrecked vessel made
no attempt to rescue single indi-
vidual of the hundreds who were
sinking, drowning, dying. Such bar
harous conduct deserves punishment.
No doubt tho name Ofth vessel will
bo ascertained, and punishment met

Thus it will be seen that the English

vastly in advance as TO become a neces-
sary branch of education in all countries,
and gradually to supersede all other
languages. Already the japanese Gov
eminent have seriously considered its
universal adoption, and the educated
men of India all speak it, and it would
not be an unheard-of thing if the mass
of the inhabitants of that country should
ultimately adopt the language of their
conquerors. In America, two or three
generations, if not one, generally con-
vert all foreigners into English-speaking
Americans, the difficulty of making
children born in this country speak the
language of their foreign-born parents,
except when absolutely necessary, even
when carefully trained in it, being a
notorious fact.

but now, when I'm old, and expect TO
have little comfort here. it is all the
time Send for mother =" And the
dear old soul growls and grumbles, but
dresses herself as fast as she can, not
withstanding. After you have trotted her
off and got her safely III your home, and
she flies around, administering rebukes
and remedies by turns, you feel easier.
It's all right now, or soon will be
Mothers come
In sickness, no matter who is there,
or how many doctors quarrel over your
case, everything goes wrong, somehow,
till you send for mother.
In trouble, the first thing you think Of
is to send for mother.
But this has its ludicrous as well as
its touching aspect. The verdant young
couple, to whom babys extraordinary
grimaces and alarming yawns, which
threaten the dislocation of its chin its
wonderful sleeps, which it accomplishes
with its eyes half open, and no percep-
tible fiutter of breath on its lips, caus-
ing the young mother to imagine it Is
dead this time, and to shrek out, Send
for mother - in tones of anguish-this
young couple, in the light of the expert
ence which three or four babies bring,
find that they have been ridiculous, and
given mother good many 81 rots " for
nothing.
Did any one ever send for mother,
and she fail to come? Never unless
sickness or the infirmities of age pre-
vented her. AS when, in your child
hood, those willing feet responded to
your call, so they do, and will continue
to do, as long as they are able. And
when the summons comes which none
yet disregarded, though it will be a
happy day for her, it will be very dark
and sad one for you, when God, too,
will send for mother.-Sctcnce Of
