winter-made Butter.

Why is it that the June and October
make of butter is best ? 1t is because it
comes nearer hitting all the points neces-
sary to make the best butter. The tenn
perature is then right, the air pure. the
grasses sweet and tender, and cattle are
not oppressed by heat The wafer
also is better then. All this has refer
ence more to June than to October,
hence June butter is the best of the sea-
son.
Butter is one of the most delicate
things in the world. This. however. is
not generally believed. 1t is not denied
that butter will take on odors. bnt the
extent that it does this is not apDreciat-
ed-hence little carelessness is thought
to do no harm. So if the vessels are not
perfectly clean, they are made to pass.
The Odor of the stable is thought not IN
hurt, if only the filth itself can be left
out of the pail Then who fears any
harm from the soft, warm airof a roOm2
And if the temperature gets up into the
eighties for a short time, no harm Is ap-
pretended
But all these kill butter. One of them
alone is sufficient to spoil the taste. To
let the cream form in a room inhabited
in winter, is to subject it to all the odors
Of the room, whether plainly distin-
guishable or obscure. These arc con

ence becomes plainly perceptible 20 the
taste. Hence the onion and che smoke
flavor, and often the flat sickish taste
caused by the foul condition of the air
which is repeatedly breathed over. And
if the heat is for some length of time
at so degrees, rancidity invariably fol-
lows
These are facts, and why not heed
them They are the great cause of our
proverbially bad winter butter. PeopIe
have their butter laid down in October
for winter. This is not necessary. But
ter about equally good can be made from
early cut, well cured hay. with some
other food if necessary. But the stables
must be kept clean, and Uttered with
some absorbent, and ventilated. There
must be clean vessels throughout-scru-
pulously clean-and, the most of all
the room must have pure air. and the
temperature must not go much above
90 degrees, and should not drop much
below it.
Milk has no business to be set in a
room that is inhabited in winter in our
climate. A separate room ought to be
given to 1t where there is sufficient milk

room, and warm it with coal stove.

4 Supposed Dead MAN Turns up
Alive.

One of those queer domestic episodes
that will once in a while set the tongues
of gosSips wagering, occurred, or rather
eliminated, in this city Saturday. As
our informant suggests, it forms the
ground work for a first class Ledqer SEN
sation. Thirteen years ago a widower
named Clark was married to a Miss Cra-
ven at the dwelling of the brides moth
er. on North Third street Clark had
one child, a girl, when he was married.
and the union was blessed with two 9TH
ers, a boy and a girl. He was very
expert maChinist, and a musician of va
ried accomplishment. For some years
he was organist in one of the Baptist
churches in the city, and subsequently,
acted in the same capacity in an out of
town Catholic church. Clark, with all
his ability, was unable to control his
appetites or to resist the numerous
temptations to which he was exposed.
lie became dissipated and lost his situa-
ton and friends. One day, seven years
ago, he enlisted in the regular army.
His regiment was sent to the South.
During the years that elapsed not word
was heard from him. and in time his
wife looked upon him as one who had
journeyed into the country where death
is unknown. Like Annie Ray when she
was persuaded that the sea had swallow
ed Enoch Arden, Mrs. Clark took an
other husband. This second marriage
took place four years ago, and for a time
it seemed as if both parties to this CON
tract had chosen well. Somehow the
wife discovered that she had been gross
ly deceived, and that the man whom she
had married was already in possession of
a wife from whom he had never been
legally divorced. Close upon TIE dis
covery came an explosion. The injured
wife taxed her husband with his crime:
a separation followed and was succeed
ed by the flight of the man. Rendered
a widow for the second time, Mrs. Clark
appears to have determined not to be
caught again in trap by any of the
stronger sex. She supported herself by
keeping a boarding house, and brought
up her children and Clark's daughter in
a respectable manner The last named
was married, year or two ago, to Wal
ter Hackney, a saloon keeper. Friday,
a rather seedily dressed but apparently
intelligent man entered Hackney's dwell
ing, and was instantly recognized by
Mrs. Hackney as her father The news
OF Clarks return to the city was soon
scattered about, and was of course car
ried to his abandoned wife. She has
been very sick, and for three days has

THE PRESIDENT AND LoUIsIANA.-The
President will soon send to the House
his answer to it's resolution passed be-
fore the recess inquiring for all the in
formation upon which his action in the
Louisiana political difficulties was based.
The document is already prepared and
awaits only one or two important ac-
companying dispatches and communica-
tions. 1t will present very full and
authentic account of the troubles in New
Orleans, and win show that the Presi-
dent acted only on a complete and i'm
partial statement of the facts obtained
from all sources available. The Presi-
dent In conversation with a prominent
New England representative this morn
ing discussed at length the whole Louis
lana case, the facts and issues involved,
and showed himself fully versed in all
the mysteries of men and affairs in that
State. No compliments were wasted
upon either Pinchbeck, Heron or War
moth, for none of whom the President
expressed any admiration; but he de-
clared his belief that the State was hon
estly republican and that there would
have been no controversy over the result
had the election been fair and honest.
Concerning Durell's decision, the Presi-
dent gave no opinion and intimated that
it might be found illegal, hut as an off
cial act of a judge of United States
Court he felt himself bound to sustain
and enforce it.

listened patiently and kindly to your

been put i'll your behalf And they have
found you guilty of murder in the first
degree-the highest crime known to our

nearly five years. Mr.. Colfax remarked
that he might add one hundred dollars
more. Mr.. Ames never paid him the
value of dollar on any account what
ever.
The chairman asked whether the wit
ness had knowledge of the ownership of
stock by any member of Congress. To
which..he replied he had no such person
al knowledge. Witness had for years
been regarded as in favor of building the
Pacific railroad. He had made speeches
and written in favor of it, and thought
the government ought to build it, if capt.
talists could not be interested for that
purpose.
Hon John B. Alley said, before re-
Stunning his testimony, he should like to
make few observations. He hoped
the committee would allow the fullest
investigation into all matters which
would have tendency to throw light on
all questions connected with the charges
before the committee. 1t seemed hard
for men, deserving no censure but praise,
to have their names inscribed in the rec
ords of the country, charged with acts
which, if true, ought to consign them to
eternal infamy, but every act and cir
cumstance in his judgment established
their innocence. The record would
show that it was honest, and that the
cry of "Stop thief, was raised by
thieves themselves. Alley then read a
long paper giving a history of the build
ing of the railroads and conduct of the
company, saying that from all facts
Ames should not only be not censured,
but should have a monument to com
memorate his great services to the coUn-
try. The statement also referred to
McComb and the suit instituted by him
and vindicated Ames as an honest man
in that connection. During the reading
of that part of the paper referring to the
charge of a Matchmaking suit by Nc
Comb, and that he had robbed the sol
diers, etc, a member of the committee
raised a question as to the reVelancy of
repeating what had been said by others.
