st. Patrick's Day in Wasiiington-A
Pleasing Incident.

The "day" was celebrated in Washing
ton as elsewhere. The inevitable process
sion was on the tramp early in the fore
noon, and it was better food for the eyes
than [ had ever seen on a like occasion.
Full 500 sinewy Irishme en- put one broad
foot before the other for hours, and the
march took in the larger portion Of the
city. Every hardy son of Brian Boru in
the ranks was in uniform, and the attire
was striking as hussar's, yet as consist
ent as Knight Templar's. The leaders
and retinues were all members of society
organizations, and there was a refined
sameness in the entire insignia.
Toward the close of the afternoon the
turnout had to pass a Catholic asylum
for orphan boys. 1t was glorious day,
and the good Sisters had ranged the little
chaps upon the steps and Verandah, that
they might drink in the sunshine and
shout for the trainers"
On swung the column, and as its front
swept by the asylum the swords flew to a
present." and the green-plumed
chapeaux were lifted from every Irish
head Half of the line had passed, when
suddenly the Chief Marshal galloped
back, and lusty " halt rang out. The
tired feet were at once at rest; the ban

for the poor little fellows yonder," roared
his jaunty hat, and tossed into it green
back.
The nest, with its egg, was handed
along the line, and was soon running
over with " scrip and bills. Other hats
were metamorphosed into similar contri-
bution-boxes, and currency galore &C
crued. Soon a party of six or eight
officers stepped to the building, dumped
the head-gear welcome loads into the
Sisters laps, and quietly strobe away
again.
The chubby orphans cheered, and
screamed, and tried to stand on their
parentless heads 1t was buildings, and
new jackets, and cosy beds to them, and
they yelled themselves into an ecstatic
infantile frenzy.
The patient Sisters tried to look hum
ble and unmindtul of a wicked world and
its vanities But glimmer Of triumph
would shoot from the thankful eyes, and
there was more of joyous pride in their
wan faces than had shone there for many
year.
The outside crowd slashed its multitu
dinous coat-sleeve and handkerchief into
its eyes, and chCered until the young buds
in the adjacent trees struggled flercely on
their twigs and endeavOred to prema-
turely burst their way to light, that they
might learn the cause of all this early
spring racket.
The forward word was given, the bands
blared, and the lighthearted sons of Irish
kings trudged around the corner

Churning Milk VS.. Cream.

A QUESTION which is often asked is with
regard to making butter by churning the
milk instead of cream alone. My own
experience has taught me that the milk
first drawn from the cow has no butter
at least one-third Of the milking; there
fore, churning this milk is only time and
labor lost. My plan has been to take
from the COW such portion of the first
milk as is necessary for family use, churn-
ing the remainder Until the past season,
my family requiring a great deal of milk
and butter, | have never had an opportu-
nifty of testing the abilities of a single
cow; but since last May have kept but
one COW. [ followed the plan with the
milk, churning each alternate day; and
although | had neither cellar nor milk
house | have made ninety-six pounds of
butter. The churning was done early in
the morning, thus securing the advantage
given by the cool morning air, and the
butter came from the churn solid and
ready for packing, with only the aid of
little cold water from the well. Some
prefer churning every morning, because
the milk is more easily separated from
the butter-cOnsequentl the labor less
but after years of ample experience | find
that milk, although sufficiently sour, If
churned when too fresh, yields butter that
is sweet and good, but not solid as when
left a longer period for the water to begin
to separate from the milk. This of course
refers to summer months; as to winter, L
follow about the same rule as my neigh
bors-chulning when the milk is in read
mess, which depends on the weather and
the surroundings.-Cor. RaIral Neso Yorker
YOU'VE men who sit up late on Saturday
nights playing cards, and who go to

about their being so bestowed as not to

his seat with his sweetheart in the front

FRIED PoTAToEs.-Peel the potatoes
carefully, dropping them in cold water as
soon as peeled, then cut them either IN
slices, dice or fillets, or cut them IN round
or oval pieces with vegetable spoon or
cutter, dropping the pieces IN cold water
also. When all are cut, have hot
fat on the fire, take the potatoes
from the water, shake them in a coarse
and dry towel and turn them into the
pan of boiling fat; stir now and then with
a skinner until done, then turn them
into a cOlander; from the colander turn
them into a clean coarse and dry towel,
and shake them in it gently Dust hne
salt all over, and serve warm. Inc ope,
ration Of turning into a colander and
from thence into a towel, and the sailing
and dis6ing, must be done quickly to
prevent the potatoes from getting cold.
Thus done and served, they are dry, warm
and crisp.

The New British Ministry.

A cable despatch, special to the HERALD,
gives us a later and corrected version Of the
new British Ministry. Mr.. Disraei is to be
First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Cairns
takes his old place on the woolsack. The
Duke of Richmond is named as President of
the Council; in the last Disraeli administra-
ton he was President of the Board of Trade
Sir Stafford Northcote is the Chancellor of
the Exchequer; in 1868 this Office was held
by Mr.. Ward Hunt. Lord Derby reappears
as Foreign Secretary. The colonies are to be
entrusted to the care of the Earl Of Carnarvon
Mr.. Cross is to take charge of the Home
Department India is again to be entrusted
to the care of the Marquis of Salisbury, one of
the ablest Of the younger members Of the
Peerage OF England, but q most uncompro-

Postmaster General; the War Department
is to be entrusted to Mr.. Claiborne Hardy, and
the Admiralty to Mr. Ward Hunt; the Earl of
Malmesbury is Lord Privy Seal What are

LET Us HAVE LdaHT.-A few years ago a
Home for Young Women was established on
Mott street by charitable contributions. Some
OF the trustees Of this Home were trustees also
for Barnard's Five Points House of Industry.
The Home was failure Subscriptions
did not come in literally enough to support
the institution after the property had been
purchased and the 'sHome'' established; 80
the Five Points House of Industry assumed
charge of the 'Home," took it off the hands
of the trustees, assuming the mortgage on the
property. Under the new management the
Home was run for about year, when it
was closed, and the property sold by the
trustees of the Five Points House of Industry.
We have seen no report Of the sale and no &C.
count of what became of the proceeds. Was
such report ever made? Will the expert
enced Superintendent Barnard give as the
information ?

dertook to make and unmake governors for q
sovereign State. Political partisanship and
the confirmation of his political and personal
friends in office were the only motives that he
could have for an act 30 dangerous to re-
publican liberty and republican institu-
tons. The times were exciting it is
true. and his friends aver that he was In
fear of personal violence; but we cannot think
Judge Duren would overturn q State govern
ment to save his life whom he had it in his
power to run away Mr.. e. G. Billings,
one of Kelogg's counsel, who was present
when the order was drawn, thought he knew
why Judge Durell promulgated it; but as he
did not state his inference even we may pre-
sumo it was the same as ours, and that the or
der was issued to secure the supremacy of the
republican party in the State, thereby placing
the local government in the hands of the few
men who managed the federal authority in
Louisiana. In consequence of all this, though
the investigating committee brought nothing
to light to help the republican leaders in Con-
gress out of their dilemma, it has made Judge
Durell an exceedingly heavy load for the
party. Even though Morton should succeed
in denying justice to the people. thinking
it safe for Congress to nullify popular
election, the party cannot afford to sanction
its notification by Judge DurelL Either his
order must be disavowed by his impeachment
or all the consequences of avowing and sus-
tanning it be borne by the party which sane
tons and abets his policy. Aparamount con-
sideration after all is justice to the people Of
Louisiana, and this we trust Congress will yet
accord them. In any event, it will not do to
allow the man accused of all the mischief to
escape q trial. He may have been made the
tool of other ambitious men, but he took too
bold position to escape the consequences of
his acts on the bench and Of his order nullify-
ing a popular election. impeachment is an
extreme remedy, never to be resorted to
except in cases of the EXTREMIST need but
nothing is so terrible as q corrupt and
tyrannical Judiciary. This is a case where
the federal courts and the country ask
that the Bench shall be purified or be
shown to be pure. Now that the testimony
upon which this demand is based has been
made public through the HERALD Congress
cannot evade the duty it owes to public virtue
and Judicial purity, to the very safety of the
Commonwealth.

A GRACEFUL GTT.-Yesterday lady called
at this Office and generously handed over five
hundred dollars, to be used at our discretion
in the interests of the poor. We cannot re-
fuse to call this graceful gift. In itself
handsome, it was tastefully given, and no
publicity was asked. How many could do
the same! How many will? In this city
genuine Christianity is being put to the test.
Those who are in need and those who have
plenty are equally on their trial. Such ex-
amples as the above cannot be too highly
praised.

Bismarck and His Position in Ger
many.
We understand the world in which we. live
more clearly when we know the men who move
it. It has been the aim of the HERALD, in illus
trating and narrating the momentous and in
terestng events in Europe, to tell our readers
of the men to whom destiny committed these
events. Guizot, Gladstone, Theirs, MacMahon,
Disraeli, Prince Napoleon, Gambetta, Cas-
telar, Serrano all have been drawn at
length in these columns. To this group
we this morning add Bismarck So
much has been said about the German Chan
cellor in the past few years, he is so tower
ing and prodigious a figure in our history,
that any narrative concerning his life and
achievements will have On unusual interest,
especially at this time. For great as have
been the labors Of Bismarck in the overthrow
of France and the unifcation of Germany, he
has accepted task infinitely more onerous in
his war upon the Papacy.
In one Of the recent addresses of Mr..
Disraeli he speaks of a conversation with Bis
marck at time when he was passing through
London to accept the Premiership of the
Prussian monarchy. 81 am going home," he
said, ''to rid my country of the professors. -
A career that began with this unchecked con-
tempt for the pedantry of craftsmanship and
government would naturally develop into the
man whom our Berlin correspondent
sketches with so much brilliancy and
grace. There is trait of Mephistopheles in
his avowed admiration for France and French
ways, especially France according to Ma
poleon, when we remember his merciless
policy of blood and iron after Sedan. There
is q danger, at which our correspondent
gently hints, that in his war upon the Roman
Church the great statesman has assumed o
task beyond his strength or the strength
of his Empire. 1t would not surprise us
if our correspondents prediction were to be
verified. When q commonwealth invades q
religion we see tangible power making war
upon an intangible power, the influence of
government arrayed against sentiment.
Upon what basis must this contest be fought
Bismarck cannot invade Rome, or capture the
Pope, or make the head OF the Roman
Church any less sacred in the eyes of Catho-
lies by imposing personal violence upon him.
The very nature Of the Papal Office is to invite
the severest enmity of the hereto rulers, be-
cause in the eyes of believers such acts be-
come martyrdom, and it is canon that the
blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.
How, then, can any commonwealth or any
prince punish power which welcomes all
punishment as crown Of glory and triumph?
A greater than Bismarck-Napoleon the
First-made war upon the Papacy, which
began with the invasion Of the Pontifcal do
minions and ended with the imprisonment of
the Pontiff But in the end Napoleon fell
The policy which found it necessary to assail
the head Of that Church took effect in wars
against Russia and invasions of Germany and
ended in Eliza and Waterloo. If Napoleon in
ten years could pass from Austerlitz to st.
Helena there is no assurance that even

The Currency Question In tho Sem
ate-The Four Hundred Million
Limit Ordered.
With the resumption of the regular order in
the Senate yesterday-the bill transferring
twenty-five millions of currency from the East
to the West-the immediate question was
upon a reconsideration of Mr.. Cooper's propo-
sition to recommit to the Finance Committee,
with instructions to report bill providing for
the convertibility of United States Treasury
notes into gold coin or five per cent bonds,
and also for free banking under the existing
National Bank act The debate on the gen.
eral question in oil its bearings was reopened
and continued for several hours, when Mr..
Ferry, of Connecticut, moved to lay the whole
subject on the table. This proceeding would
leave the Senate as it was on the LIST Of
December. The proposition was rejected
two to one, the '.masterly inactivity
men chiefly supporting it. Next the recon-
sideration was carried by 80 to %, and MI.
Cooper's instructions were rejected, as they
were construed to mean either imitation or con-
traction at the option of the committee. The
issue was thus reduced to Merrimons propo-
sition instructing the committee to report
bill increasing the national bank currency so
that the whole volume shall not exceed four
hundred millions, which means an addition
of forty-six millions to the present circulation.
The motion was carried-28 to 25-a division
which indicates the strength of the contrac-
tionists even against this limited imitation A
motion was next made to instruct the COM
mittee to provide for free banking under the
existing Banking law, and upon this ques-
tion-Mr Schurz, leading contractonist,
having the foor-the whole subject goes over
to Monday next.
The weeks discussion has developed these
facts-that so far the free bankers are in
minority that the infationists distrust the
Finance Committee that the contractionists
regard that committee as their ark of safety,
and that as there is no recognized leader or
authority on the subject, as party lines and
even sectional lines are obliterated, the Senate
is all at sea on the general question. As to
the instructions, therefore, which will finally
be given Mr.. Sherman's committee, the whole
subject is still at the mercy of the winds and
waves /; but SO far we are rather strengthened
than weakened in the opinion that the forty
six million compromise, known as the four
hundred million bill, is the strongest currency
proposition in either House.
