Conversational Powers Of the Indians.

The conversational powers of the In
dians, says writer, are very great in.
deed. Among themselves, when not
placed upon their guard by the pres
ence of strangers, they are unwearied
takers. I speak now of the full blood
Indian, whose native tongue is said to
be we'll adapted to narrative, descrip-
ton, and defamation, and whose habits
and temperaments lead them to be very
communicative. About one third Of the
Cherokees use the English language
with grace and elegance, but generally
among the masses the English is i'm
perfectly spoken, many slight depar'
lures from English standards being no.
ticeable. Yet they are generally critics,
taking notice of any inaccuracy OF lam
guage in the conversation of white
person. A stranger delivering a SER
mon or lecture is rigidly criticised as to
language, matter, and manner, and is
at once placed in comparison with their
own ideal, which has been formed from
intercourse with the whites, as well as
from carefulstudy of the best English
classics. Their manners are very much
like those of our people, only their men
are not so gallant as ours. They seem
not to be actuated by so many sinister
motives, nor do they seem to have so
much policy as do our polite young

Value Of UnwaShed Wool.

Since the introduction Of wool-wash-
ing establishments has rendered it pos
sible not only to have wool washed, but
also to sell unwashed wool, and thus
avoid the trouble, as well as the danger
to the health of the animal, of the wash
ing previous to shearing, it has become
of Importance in fixing the price of un-
washed wool, to ascertain with exact
ness the actual loss by the washingp pre-
vious to the shearing. 81. Goedeck
carefully selected average animals from
his flock of Negretti and Rambouillet
half bloods crossed, and subjected small
portions of wool, clipped about the
middle of April, to the usual process
for washing sheep, with the following
results
These numbers, he remarks, will un'
doubtedly be affected by breed, fodder,
pasturage, &C.; but he suggests that the
publication of the results of similar ex.
periments by others, accompanied by
description of their docks, will in time
afford basis for the estimation of theil
sheep.

Hussein Chalifa was appointed MI
dir" of Berber and Dougola. Whether
the Viceroy acted wisely in appointing
as Governor OF two provinces remote
from the seat OF government man VINO
was the chief of a rebellious family,
family thirsting for vengeance, future
events will show. Hussein Challfa pro-
ceeded to remove the Turkish element,
filed his offices with natives, dispensed
with all garrisons, save an Indispensable
number of sentinels, on the Pretence Oh
economy, and obtained censlderaole IN
Auence over the weak-willed and mlnd-
less Pasha of Khartoum. The Pasha
became so subject to Hussein Pasha
that he asked for his advice on every
question, no matter how trivial, 30 that
in the end it was Hussein, and not the
Pasha, that ruled in Khartoum:, A shoI'
time ago Hussein seemed to have 90,
tanned the object of all his plots ana
desires. He accused one OF Abbas Agas
sons of crime, and demanded his sur
render from the Pasha OF Khartoum.
The unfortunate young man, clearly
foreseeing that his surrender to nus tost
sein meant certain death, fell at the feet e q
of the Pasha, and, with tears IN MS
ewes. implored that he might not Dc
eiyen up to his enemy. His entreaties,
however were of no avail. he was pus
in chains, and to every expostuiaIIol
the Pasha gave the simple reply, Lev
him CO." At this juncture, howeSer' WSer
several leading inhabitants OF hn Gnn

His safety, however, will not last iSns' n9as

Butter Factories.

Just now, says the Utica Herald, fac
tory butter, like factory cheese, brings
an extra price. In butter factories Us
in cheese factories, superior class Oh
help is employed, and VIC think the ex,
penses to the patrons are lightenea anu M
the profits increased. We ma - 'o
among our cheese factories, and no lar
mer who has been once rid of cheese
making would be willing to return 10
the old method. 1t would be just 80
with farmers wives, if the farmers IN
the butter districts were once to adopt
the factory system of making butter;
II is such a relief to the family. And
as the sales are generally made oftener,
there is the advantage Of always having
ready money. The same mode OF dlVld-
ing expenses and the proceeds sn;es ol sa;es
NAV be employed In butter factories
that are employed in cheese factories. h,
Or a company may be formed TO pay
the milk. Or, only cream might oe
taken to the factory. AS to the butter
milk and skinned milk, that may be
fed to hogs or calves. II the factory Is
conducted on the pro rata system,
good way would be to purchase calves
or hogs with the money OF the patrons;
taking those of the patrons at a nxea
rate per pound, put them together ana Is
employ a man to take care OF them: II
any additional feed is needed, let 1t ne
purchased with the common fund, ny
an executive committee. In the 1aii,
when the calves and hogs are disposed
of, let the profits be divided pro rata'
It seems to us that this would give salts
faction, and We know it would MAKE AK .
freer, happier homes, to get rid OF T,i the
care and drudgery of the dairy. ms
to us, is vital consideration, ana IN IN,
duces us to favor any kind of profitable
association that will lift the burdens
from the backs Of our women.
