ton of tho scenes witnessed In con-
press last winter. Tho government is
hungry to mako tho "ring masters

that there will DO a fresh chapter Of

ing the road. Certain directors Of
the road, however. formed the Credit
Mobilier, gave out the contracts for
building the road 10 themselves sin
one case letting out So miles of road
that had already been built, and pay
ing sl,845,000 for 1t extra---and thus
absorbing tho bonds of tho govern
ment, and the stock ard bonds of tho
road, in way that looks little diff
fcrent from outright robbery. The
government in this present suit In
equity, will insist that the original
subscriptions to the stock of tho road
were never paid; TINT tho receipts
given for them were fraudulent, and
that the dividends of bonds, stock and
money--tho same dividends which the
late Oakes Amos distributed among
members of Congress, placing them
"where they would do most good
were misapplied, and must be account
cd for. The government docs not sue
the Credit Mobilicr but il will reach
the stockholders and directors through
the directory of the railroad company,
the directors Of one being tho direc-
tors Of the other. The railroad CON-
pany imagined that by the adroit
trick of resolving itself into second
corporation and making contracts
with It they would be able to evade
the law, and, by tho skillful gifts Of
stock and dividends to members of
Congress, they did manage for a time

vor. But tho suit in equity will re-
veal the whole character Of the fraud,
and force the company to stand or fall

BUTTER,

The experiment of max ing butter from
beef suet, after a French invention, is go
ing on in various places in this county,
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 ii is run
through a machine similar to a sausage cut
ter, and ground thoroughly at the rate of
1900 pounds an hour, coming out as white
as snow. 1t is Immediately thrown into Il
vat containing about foot of water. The
entire mass is raised to the temperature of
blood heat (1l0 degrees FahrenheiD by a
coil Of steam pipe laid in water After half
an hours constant.slirring ii is allowed to
settle, and in few moments all the little
pieces of membrane and scrap sink to the
bottom, while the fat or rather tue pure
stcarno and olene float on the water. This
is gathered off and placed in another vat 10
cool, and when about the consistency of
lard is wrapped in cloths (about 300 lbs. in
each wrapper) and subjected to presses Of
tremendous power. As the pressure is APP
piled 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 div oil,
and may be kept an indefinite period with
out spelling or becoming the least bit
strong. Any little dust or impurity which
before may have escaped is here separated,
and the oil flows like the finest honey. The
stearine, amounting TO about SO per cent,
remains in the cloth. This is sold TO the
candle manufacturers, and as it is much
superior to tallow for this purpose, COM
mands a high figure. The olene is convey
ed by a tube TO the churn, when the final
operation takes place. This department
should be IS feet square, with double walls
(the space between being filled with saw
dusD resembling large refrigerator. A
rack containing about 90 cakes of ice is sus-
pended from the ceiling, so that the cold
air in descending keeps the temperature
always low. a number of Blanchard churns
are arranged along one side of the room,
into each of which is introduced 10 pounds
OF the oleine, together with two quarts of
pure milk, and three-ei2hths of pound of
annotto, used for coloring. The churns are
set in motion, and kept at a uniform rate
of speed for II or IS minutes, when they
are stopped, and the air is redolent with
the perfume of butter Ice-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 j. extracted and the butter is finished.
On weighing the butter it is ascertained
that there has been an actual gain in each
churn of onc-and-a- half pounds, equal to
40 per cent, since it left its oily state.

VERSES HOUSE
KERPE.vG.

The truest homes arc often in houses not
especially well kept, where the comfort
and happiness Of the inmates, rather than
tho preservation of the furniture, is first
consulted. The object of home is to be the
center, the point of tenderest interest, the
pivot on which family life turns. The first
requisite is TO make il attractive, so attrac-
tive that none its inmates shall care to
linger long outside its limits. All legit-
mate means should be employed to this
end, and no effort spared that can contri-
butte TO the purpose. Many houses called
homes, kept with waxy neatness by PAINS
taking, anxious women are so oppressive
in their nicely as TO exclude all home feel
ing from their spotless precincts. The very
name of home is Synonymous with person.
al freedom and relaxation from care. But
neither of these can be felt where such a
mania for external cleanliness pervades the
household as TO render everything else sub
servient thereto. Many housewives, If they
see speck on floor or wall, or even a scrap
of thread or bit of paper on the floor, rush
at it, as if it were the seed of pestilence
which must be removed on the instant.
Their temper depends upon tho main
tenance of perfect purity and order. If
there be any failure on their part, or any
combination Of circumstances against them,
they fall into pathetic despair, and can
hardly DO lifted out. They do not SEQ that
cheerlulness is more needful to home than
all the spotlessness that ever shone. Their
disposition to wage war upon maculateness
of any sort increases until they become
slaves of the broom and dust-pan. Neat
ness is one thing, and a state of perpetual
house cleaning quite another.
Out of this grows by degrees the feeling
that certain things and apartments are too
good for daily use. Hence, chairs and sofas
are covered, and rooms shut up, save for
special occasions, when they are permitted
to reveal their violated sacredness in a
manner that mars every pretense of hospi-
tally. Nothing should be bought which is
considered too fine for the fullest domestic
appropriation. Far better is the plainest
furniture, on which the children can climb,
than satin and damask which must be
viewed with reverence. Where anything
is reserved or secluded, to disguise the fact
is extremely difficult. A chilly air wraps
it round, and TIE repulsion of strangeness
is experienced by the most insensible.
There are few persons who have not Wis.
tied houses where they have been intro
duced to what Is known as the company
parlor. They must remember how uncom-
Portable they were while sitting in 1t; how
they FOND it almost impossible to be at
ease, and mainly for the reason that their
host and hostess were not themselves at
ease. The children were watcl cd with lynx
eyes, lest they should displace or soil some
thing; 80 that the entertainment of friends

How TO KEEP WINTER APPLEs.-The
foil owing excellent suggestions are offered
by the Vermont Farmer: The way that
most farmers save their apples is TO hole
them up, like potatoes, or pile them up in
a cave or cellar. by this method you not
only lose much valuable tune, but lose very
many apples; and what you do keep over
winter are in bad condition. Apples may
be kept in barrels that are quite open but
the be st and cheapest way is to keep them
in crates or boxes made in the following
manner: The ends or head pieces should
be ten or twelve inches wide by fifteen TO
eighteen long. They can be sawed or split.
Nail your boards on the bottom and sides,
leaving places for ventilation. Have your
boards all the same lcngth-about three
feet. "When you gather your apples from
the tree put them in these boxes (be care
full not TO bruse them) and lay the boxes
on each other in your apple house. Two
men will handle these boxes with ease.
You can look your apples over in these box
cs at any time with but little labor. When
you are ready TO ship, just nail board
over the top and you are ready. In this
way you get your apples to market in good
condition and handle them but once. Keep
your house as cold as possible at all times
without freezing

has beon rapid of late, and that we are re-
ally progressing in all that pertains to our
material prosperity.
The address was delivered on Thursday,
the 18th, by Rev. w. II. II. Murray of Ad-
irondack fame. 1t was able, but, in the
opinion of the writer, subject to criticism.
He started off on the proposition that farm
ing in Vermont in times past "did not pay"
This, for one shall never assent to, for l
believe that from the first settlement of the
State up to this day, no industry in Ver-
mont has paid as well as farming, and am
prepared, whenever tho time and space
cen bo allotted me TO proveit. That man
has now and then made more money at
manufacturing, specializing or shaving, as
the Yankees would say, than he possibly
could have done at honest farming in the
same time, 1 shall not deny; but in this
calculation we must take farming as n
whole. And now 1 lay down this PROPOSE
tion-that in the State of Vermont, in pro.
portion TO the capital invested and labor
performed, the receipts will show larger
profit in the farming business than in any
other pursuit at any and all times from the
first settlement of the State until this date
and this proposition I am ready to back up
in the newspapers or in public discussion.
1 admit that farming does not and never
did pay as it might or should. There has
been too much of unskiful and indifferent
farming, and hardly any that has had the
close, thorough attention that other inter-
ests have had; but with its loose, unscien-
ti6c management, it has nevertheless paid
as well or better than other pursuits. 1t is
high time that this croaking recently set
up that farming does not pay" should be
