road, and the train which carried the apples was
unable to proceed father than this city. Tie
owner OF the fruit, fearing that the cold weather
might damsge his properfy, WIS desirous Of un-
loading it here, as he found that he
could dispose OF tho entre lot among
our dealers. Telegraphing to Chicago
for permission, ho WAS informed that,
by paying Is ceuts per barrel in addition to the
tariff from Chicago to Rinon, he could unload
his apples at Janesvillo. As Janasvi1le is about
que hundred miles nearer Chicago than Ripon,
it may seem little strange to those unaccus-
toned to paying freights that we should be
charged so much more for transportation than
our northern naighbors are. This instance il
luBtratea tbs fact that railroad companies will
discriminate sgainst cities untouched by COM
peting lines. The apple~dealer finally took his
cargo to Ripon, where ho sold it at Is cents per
barrel lees than Janassille dealers could hare
purchased the lot for.

opinion that. the resolution conlicted with Ger
tain provisions OF the Constitution, and direct
ing that the resolution be stricken from the

Mr. RoUNTREE dissentsd in a minority re-

had reference to original documents only, and
that it was within the power OF the House to
publiah copies OF these documents in any Lam
guage It saw it, The minority report Was also
that the two reports Of the Committee be printed
and made the special order for Thursday next.

Nj. SCANLAN was Of the opinion that no
amount Of precedent would Justify the House in
violating provision Of the Constitution that
reads plain, and cannot he misunderstood.
Mr.. OBERLY could see the force Of reasoning
incident to precedents when cited in Court, but
precedents had no right to atfcct tho dolibera-
tons Of this body. That former Legislature
had done wrong WAS not reason Ehy this body
should follow in the steps OF error. Tho Gem
ernl Assembly was too prone to overlook the let
Ter Of the Constitution.
afr. SHAW was OF the opinion that the prece-
dents should have no weight in the considering
the question now at issue.
Alr- .DUNHAM followed in an able argument
in support Of tho majority report.
Mr. THOMAS did not believe in going back

to dry where the wind does not blow
very hard. They will need little or
no ironing. The tablecloths should be
dipped in old, skinned milk; this
gives them lustre, and they need no
starch.
Potato Salad--Boii eight large Irish
potatoes; when cold slice a fiat dish
with one or two raw onions and sprink-
ling of celery and salt. Over each
layer of potato and onion pour the fol-
lowing dressing: Beat two eggs with
tablespoonful of sweet oil; add small
tablespoonful each of sugar, pepper,
mustard and salt; when well mixed,
pour on two cups of boiling vinegar;
put back on the fire and stir till thick
as custard. Let it cool before putting
it on the potatoes. Sprinkle IA little
Cayenne pepper on the top; make this
in the dish in which it is to come to
the table, and, if possible, twentyfour
hours before it is to be used.
Excellent Whiteuash.-The following
is said to be the very best one of the
numerous recipes for whitewashing:-l
White chalk is the best substitute for
lime as wash. A very fine and bril-
liant whitewash preparation of chalk
is called the "Paris White" This we
buy at the paint store at three cents a
pound, retail. For each sixteen pounds
of Paris White we procure half a
pound of the white transparent glue,
costing twenty-five cents Fifteen cents
a pound). The sixteen pounds of Paris
White is about as much as person
will use in a day. 1t is prepared as
follows: The glue is covered with cold
water at night, and in the morning isl
is carefully heated, without scorching,
until dissolved. The Paris White isl
stirred in with hot water to give it the
proper milky consistency for applying
to walls, and the dissolved glue is then
added and thoroughly mixed. 1t is
then applied with a brush like the
common whitewash. Except on very
dark and smoky walls, single coat is
sufficient. It is nearly equal in brilii-
,ncy to "zinc white" a far more ex-
pensive article.

Cabbage Cuf-wOrm.

The same eorrespondentals also enquiries
about the cut-worln, which during the
past two or three years has been very
destructive to beets and cabbages. We
presume he refers to the cabbage cut
worm, or Agrotis nigrica,as or entomol-
ogist. The moth is dark ash-grey
color, and is readily recognized by hav-
ing two palesp aud Two coal black
ones on its under wings. The eggs are
dropped around the roots of grass, and
the worms that come from them pass
under ground and feed on the tender
roots of grass, during autumn and
spring till they Decome about two
thirds grown, which occurs by the lat
Ter part of May. They then during
the night feed on vegetation above
ground, and as daylight approaches,
select some succulent tender plant, cut
it ffand pull it under the surface for a
short distance, to feed upon during the
day time. 1t is only at intervals OF
some years that these worms appear in
so great numbers as to do much dam
age. The best treatment is to dig them
out and kill them, that their depreda-
tions upon other plants during succee-
ding nights may be prevented.-Maine
Farmer.

Useful Information.

A Recipe.-An exchange has the fol.
lowing plan Of keeping flies from pic
ture frames: Boil four onions i'm q
pint Of water, then with clean brush
wash your frames over in this liquid
aud the flies will not light upon them.
The onion will not injure the frames,
and the odOr soon disappears. 1t is
better than unsightly gauze covers to
your pictures.
Temperature Of the air in Making
Butter.-Recent experiments indicate
that the best temperature of the air, as
wells of the cream, for rapid churn-
ing of butter, is from ST to 50 degrees,
instead of the average of &C degrees, as
generally taken. A celler, with tenn
peratnre regulated by means of ther-
mometer, seems most suitable for the
purpose, especially in summer.
Ironing Without Hedt.-A lady of
