THE OLD REBEL sPIR1T.
A correspondent of the Chicago m
hr- Ocean, writing from Helena, Ar
kansas, says:
Let me tell your readers that tho
spirit of the old time never was more
firmly upon these people than now
Can you forget that, but a few short
years ago, it was as much as his life
was worth for man. of Northern
sentiment'' to express lis views on
Southern soil? To-day the South is
reused to white heat because q NORTH
ern newspaper should so far notice the
killing of negro by a mob as to cllron-
icle the event, especially it the facts
show that the victim had not violated
the rights Of 4 white man.
Two obstacles stand in the vav of =
practical Southern Confederacy to-day
tile strong hand of a Republican adj
ministration of the government and
the Republican press of the country.
Change the first, and remand the
South to the tender mercies of the old
slave trader, and silence the second by
making this country too hot to hold
tile ''hell-hounds" who narrate their
mlsdeeds, and you have accomplished
the objects of the rebellion.

ate last winter to investigate the &C.
counts Of the late State Auditor, Charles

submitted their report. They make
some astounding disclosures, showing
that the School fund of the State has
been robbed Of 100000, by collision
with the lumbermen.
Mr.. Mc1lrath telegraphs from New
York as follows:

Observing in the newspapers a charge
of alleged defulcation on my part
while Auditor of the State of NIinneso-
tn, purp0rting to be the substance of a
report Of a committee appointed by the
last legislature, I have to request a sus-
pension of public opinion until I can
have an opportunity to refute the false
and malicious charges thus made
against me. The committee in question
has acted entirely ca pd1te, holding Sc
cret sessions, and giving me no oppor-
tuhlty to cross-examine witnesses or
explain my official transactions. Its
duty was to report to the next. legisl;.-
ture and not before, and it's present re-
port is wholly unauthorized, and is
made thus prematurcly for political ef-
feet: L need only say that at the prop
or time l shall be prepared to verify MY
accounts. vindicate my character, and
show the utter falsity of every materi-
al statement and conclusion to my pref
udice put forth by the COMMITTEES. TO
those who know me ut my place of res
idence, and know the circumstances
connected with the appointments OF this
committee and the character of it's pro-
ceedings, it would not be necessary to
make even this explanation.

The principal member of the Com

there seems no doubt that the report is
unjust. Its publication at this partic-

than to injure Mc1lrath and the Repub.

We must act speedily and decidedly,

penalty of any violations of the order.

many counties, and the thing is becom-
ing more and more popular every day

right and by inheritance, and we must,
we will control it, even at the expense

Making Butter.

4 practical dairyman says the first thing
to be considered in making good butter
is the proper care ofthe milk, which should
be drawn from the COW into clean vessels
and carried Immediately to the cellar or
milk room and strained. The milk should
not stand in the vessel in which it is drawn
from the COW moment longer than is alb
solutely necessary. Vessels for keeping
milk in for the cream to rise, l prefer
should be of tin, holding four or five quarts
each; they are lighter to handle in wash
ing and in carrying to and from the milk
room, and are not so liable to be broken
as earthen jars or crooks. The pans or
whatever is used for holding the milk
should be washed thoroughly and scalded
with boiling water ever time they are used,
especially in warm weather, and it is ad-
visable to sun them for a few hours.
The length of the time the milk should
stand before skimming depends upon the
temperature of the weather and milk room :;
the warmer the milk is kept the sooner it
must be skinned; the time with me varies
from twenty four to forty eight hours-the
shorter time in very warm weather, when
accompanied with thunder. The butter
is never so good when milk cannot be kept
for more than twentyfour hours. Igener-
ally succeed in keeping milk thirty six
hours in the warmest weather, with very

For him the aloe never bloomed. She
married, late in life, man her equal in
station, but her inferior in natural gifts

of her correspondence with Fitz Greene
Halleck, was about twentv-six wears of age.
She is described by one who knew her then
as tall, slender and graceful, with cordial
and engaging manners. She had bright.
hazel eyes, attractive features, and pc
culiarly sweet smile. When silent and
thoughtful her face wore a pensive, sad
expression, but when engaged in CONVEX
sation it lighted up with animation and
intelligence. She was exceedingly sensi-
tive. When her feelings were wounded
she would put her hand to her face, and
Immediately the tears came trickling be-
tween her white fingers. She had unusual

4 PUZZLED AND INDIGNANT WITNESS

\ PUZZLED AND INDIGNANT WITNESS
\ paper in Pittsfield, Mass, relates the
following They were trying horse case
in court the other day and the lawyer was
questioning witness in reference to the
animals habits and disposition. Have
you ever driven her 2 was asked. L have,
was the reply. Was there any one with
you at the time r was the next question.
There was lady with me- the witness
answered, and he blushed little. WAS
she good driver?' was the next question.
The lawyer referring to the animal, but the
witness understood that he meant the lady.
She was, he replied. Was she gentle
and kind 2 asked the legal limb, and the
reply was in the affirmative, though the
witness, still thinking of the lady, looked
little surprised. She didn't kick 9 was

was the answer. She didn't rear up or
kick over the traces, or put her hind feet

rare exceptions, and then it is always in
very hot sultry weather, accompanied with
thunder but | always make the best but
ter when the milk is kept forty-eight hours.
One reason is, the weather is always
cooler. The milk should always be skim
med when it becomes thick or clabbered,
whether the time it has stood be short or
long.
Cream may be kept a week in cool wea-
ther, and make good butter; but in warm
weather, churn twice week-three times
is better, unless kept very cool. I have
never used thermometer, consequently
am unable to say the exact temperature at
which cream should be churned to obtain
the best results; but if the cream be too
warm, the quantity will be increased at the
sacrifice of quality.
Catfish.
The following is from the Calvert Jour-
nal: MANY of our readers may not be
aware of the fact that the catfish trade of
the Patuxent river has become quite an
important business. For several winters
past this branch of trade has been grow
ing, and preparations have been made by
DR.. Richard Stanforth, at Deep Landing,
to go into the business on much larger
scale than ever before. DR.. Stanforth has
just completed pond in which the fish
are placed when caught, and so kept alive
to await shipment. This pond has been
made in creek on the Deep Landing farm,
by using wire fencing above and below,
so that while the water passes freely with
the tide, the fish are kept ''till called for.
This pond will hold from two to three
thousand bushels of fish, which are taken
out when wanted by large 'dipnets," and
when the supply on hand becomes reduc-
ed a small seine will be used in catching
them. DR.. Stantorth buys all the catfish
that are brought to him alive, and quite
number of seines on both sides of the River
will be run constantly after cold weather
sets in, for the purpose of supplying this
demand. After the season fairly opens, it
is expected that large quantities of fish
will be shipped to market every week;
quite large force of hands skilled in the
business will be kept employed in prepar-
ing the fish for shipment. The fish are
dressed" that is skinned and cleaned,
and packed in boxes with ice, and shipped
on the Patuxent steamers to Baltimore, and
thence through the canal to Philadelphia,
which is the~great catfish market of the
country. Why more catfish should beco
sumedin Philadelphia than any other place
in the world, except Huntingtown and its
neighborhood, is a conundrum which thel
Journalmen can't answer, but such is tf
fact. As may be supposed large cutli
of money will be necessary to carry q
such an extensive business, and as tn
greater part of this money will be spent
