and perjured.
Judge Boardman then, In feeling Addrts4 IN

Several OF The jury were interviewed yester

no pistol. Two ofthe jury at first opposed a
verdict of murder in the first degree and taVort,
a lighter punishment.

and his sister uttered a piercing vail Tie

strong voice, 10 Mr.. Beach lawyer for the
prosecution, that he did bis work we'll, and he
hoped he was we'll paid fol it.
When The assistant district attorney stated
that the Fisk family gave NO fee TO his associate

his counsel called, when Stokes sent letters to
hia relatives not TO appear in court today to

pelled to stand People came into the hall, last
evening and without paying the alightest regard TO
the placards, ''tAken" which are placed in every
reserved seat, seated themselves in places which

Patent Butter.

The experiment of making butter from
beef suet, after French invention, going
on in various places in this cOuntry-in
California as we'll as Connecticut, among
the rest. The process is thus described:
A large tank is filled with sheets of fresh
selected suet, which is thoroughly cleansed
by the use of cold water Then it is run
through, machine similar to a sausage
cutter, and ground thoroughly at the rate
of 1900 Ms. an hour, coming out as white
as snow. It is Immediately thrown into a
vat containing about foot of water. The
entire mass is raised to temperature of
bleed Lee: 20 aes-ees Ea LSs32aLLSi.. by a
coil of steam pipe laid in the water. After
half an hours constant stirring it is
allowed to settle, and in few minutes all
the little pieces of membrane and scrap
sink to the bottom, while the fat, or rather
the pure stearine and oleine, float on the
water This is gathered off and placed
in another vat to cool, and, when about
the consistency of lard, is wrapped in
cloths about 800 lbs. in each wrapper
and subjected to presses Of tremendous
power. AS the pressure is applied, the
oleine ooZes through the cloth and is con-
veyed by little troughs, similar to those OF
a cider mill, to another tub. In this state
it looks like the clearest olive oil, and
may be kept an indefinite period without
spelling or becomming the least bit
strong. Any little dust or impurity which
before may have escaped is here separat-
ed. and the oil flows like the finest honey.
The stearine, amounting to about 80 per
cent remains in the cloth. This is sold
to the candle manufacturers, and as it is
much superior to tallow for this purpose,
commands high figure. The oleine is
conveyed by a tube to the churn, when
the final operation takes place. This de-
patment should be IS feet square, with
double walls (the space between being
filled with sawdust resembling a large
refrigerator. A rack containing about 20
cakes of ice is suspended from the ceiling
so that the cold air in descending keeps
the temperature always low. A num-
Der of Blanchard churns are arranged
along one side of the room, into each of
which is introduced Is pounds of the
olene, together with two quarts of pure
milk, and three-eights Of a pound of an
MOTTO, used for coloring. The churns are
set in motion, and kept at uniform rate
of speed for II or Is minutes, when they
are stopped, and the air is redolent with
the perfume Of butter 1ce-water is
thrown in the churn, when the butter
gathers, and it is placed on large table,
settled, and thoroughly worked By this
process the milk is extracted, and the
butter is finished. On weighing the but
ter it is ascertained that there has been
an actual gain in each churn Of one and
half pounds, equal to 40 per cent since
il left its oily state-N Y Tribune.

Ammonia.

No housekeeper should be without
bottle Of spirits of ammonia, for, besides
its medicinal value, it is invaluable for
household purposes. 1t is nearly as use
full as soap, and its cheapness brings it
within the reach of all. Put a teaspoonful
of ammonia to quart of warm soapsuds,
dip in flannel cloth, and wipe off the
dust and tiyspecs, CRIME and smoke, and
see for yourselves how much labor it will
save. No scrubbing will be needful. 1t
will cleanse and brighten silver wonder
fully; to pint of hot suds mix a tea
spoonful of the spirits, dip in your silver
spoons, forks, etc, rub with a brush, and
then polish on chamois skin. For wash
ing mirrors and windows it is very de-
sirable; put a few drops of ammonia on
& piece &c newspaper and you VIII.
readily take off every spot or finger
mark on the glass. 1t will take out
grease spots from every fabric; put on
the ammonia nearly clear, lay blotting
paper over the place and press hot fiat
iron on it for few moments. A few
drops in water will clean laces and whiten
them as well; also muslins. Then it is a
most refreshing agent at the toilet table !;
a few drops in basin of water will make
better bath than pure water, and if the
skin is oily it will remove all glOssiness
and disagreeable odOrs. Added to a
foot-bath it entirely absorbs all nOxious
smells so often arising from the feet in
warm weather, and nothing is better for
cleansing the hair from dandrutf and dust.
For cleaning hair and nail brushes it is
equally good.
Put teaspoonful of ammonia into one
pint of warm Or cold water, and shake
the brushes through the water When
the brushes look white rinse them in cold
water, and put them in the sunshine, or
in a warm place, to dry. The dirtiest
brushes will come out of this bath white
and clean. For medicinal purposes am
monia is almost unrivaled. For the
headache it is a most desirable stimulant
and frequent inhaling of its pungent
odors will often entirely remove catarrhal
cold. There is no better remedy for
heartburn and dyspepsia, and the aroma
tic spirits of ammonia is especially pre-
pared for these troubles. Ten drops of it
in a wine glass Of water are often a great
relief. The spirits Of ammonia can be
taken Ill the same way; but it is not as
palatable. In addition to all these uses,
the effects of ammonia on vegetation are
beneficial. If you desire roses, gerani-
ums, fuschiHs, etc, to become more flour
ishing, you can try it upon them by add
ing five or six drops Of it to every pint of
warm water that you give them; but
don't repeat the dose ottener than once
in every five or six days, lest you stimu-
late them too highly. Rain water is i'm
pregnated with ammonia, and thus it re-
freshes and WHITES vegetable life. SO be
sure and keep large bottle of it in the
house, and have glass stopper for it, as
it is very evanescent and also injurious to
cOrks, eating them away.-Erchange.
