Summers Suppressed Speech.

1t is seldom that a grosScr improperly
is witnessed tLan has just been commit
ted in the publication of the so.called
Suppressed speech" of Mr.. Sumner, in
which he attacks Gen. Grant and Secre-
tary Fish. Mr.. Summers executor and
his advisers have shown a lack of Sensi-
hility as lamentahle as it Is surprising in
giving this speech To the public. With
the death of Mr.. Sumner all rancor toward
him disappeared. Those who regretted
most kcenly his mistakes, and felt most
deeply grieved at his unjust and untor
tunate course toward his former friends,
dropped their criticisms and forgot their
differences when the last penalty was
paid and the imperfect but still great
statesman was dead. There were few of
MIR. summers associates in the Senate
Chamber who did not feel that his CON
slant and unremitting attacks on the Pres
ident were grossly unjust and unCallCd for.
This opinion was not confined To Repuh.
lican Senators or personal enemies, but
was shared by the Democrats and BY
many of the Senator's intimate friends.
30 far did Mr.. Sumner carry his dislike
as to thrust an attack on the President
into social gathering of New York
club, on which occasion he was properly
rebuked by Gen. Sherman. He was
Che most unhagging and the most
persistent enemy that the President has
ever encountered, not even excepting
Schur6 And yet all was forgiven when
he dled; and rs fitting indication that
the warfare SO long waged terminated
there, the President stood as chief mourn.

tribute OF respect upon the casket that

There were about six litters year from
the old one, and, after deaths and acct
dents deducted, there were about two
dozen grew up, on which the money was
made. Generally some one was found to
buy the young at six weeks old; but, if
not, the provision stores took them all at
six months. And all this for only the
daily toll of gathering clover or cabbage
leaves in the summer, or turnips or other
similar material in winter.
Besides the rabbit business, there are
many ittle.things which the young can
thus be set to do, both in the garden and
the farm. 1t matters not what so that it
Is something they must do every day, and
something which will bring them in some
money reward for the work they do

Farming for Boys.

1t is all very well for young boys to 60
to school to get an education, and To Sun
day school and other good places to have
a good moral and intellectual foundation
laid. No one can we'll dispense with
these agencies in laying the foundation
in child of a good, substantial, useful
character. 1t is not necessary to say any.
thing about this in these days, The idea
is very well appreciated But it does not
seem so well understood that habits of in
dustry, early established, are among the
very best elements in finishing up a
young boy. AT any rate it is quite com
mon to see the intellectual and the mo al
very well cared for, while the industrial is
generally utterly neglected.
We do not know on farm
that any better thing could be
inaugurated to help the boys along
in this respect than the keeping OF
rabbits. 1t was the first, or nearly the
first, lesson in farming of a practical char
acter which the writer received, and it
was given him at eight years old. 1t
was an absolute necessity that they should
be fed three times day, and this daily
work to be done, and which could not be
avoided, was a capital drilling in that
round of duties which ends in making a
good soldier for the great battle of life.
We have known some who have en-
couraged the children to go into these
rabbit enterprises, but who had not nerve
enough to urge them to a perseverance in
their daily duties, and the result was that,
as the season progressed, the rabbits were
suffered to run at large, so that hey could
get their own food and take c,tre OF them
selves This, however, should never be
permitted. 1t is no worse TO keep enid
up to task in industry than in any other
good work; and after once getting HIM IN
the run there is no difficulty after.
\ good, roomv box should be provided
for them, and they should be timed IN
various places, or the rabbits Will IN
variably gnaw their way out The bars
in front should be of wire, and rather
close together in order to keep out rats
4 little yard is a very good thing, II the
bottom can be so loored as to prevent
them from burrowing to get out. II
should always be made Saturdays JOB
70 clean out the boxes
For boys it is net only an excel ent IN
dustriai exercise, but rabbt'keeping,
when well done, is source Of income
bv no means to be deSpised. From our
early experience we can tell the boys pos
itively that there is money III H.

with his latest breath the Senator raved
like an Infatuated and baflled schemer,
utterng curses rather than as a dying
Christian breathing forgiveness on those
who had differed with him. What makes
the matter less excusable is the fact that
the objects of attack must remain silent
They cannot reply to the ridicule, satire,
and personal reflections of this speech by
similar attacks upon tho author Of them.
His last effort is the most effective, be-
cause the author is shielded behind a bar
rer beyond which none but towards will
penetrate with blows. Mr.. Sumner did
not shrink from contests in life, but his
friends meanly make of him one who
strikes and runs. He is caused to say
things in death which he closed his mouth
against saying in life, and is made to play
the part of one who, afraid to meet the
responsibility of his words waited until
he was out of the reach of punishment
before the offense should be given. Such
was not Mr.. Summers wont, and no great
er injustice than this could have been
done to his memory. Ordinary respect
for the proprietes of life and for the mem
DRY of the dead, as well as the living,
would have caused the suspension Of this
publication until time had made reply
to it, decorous and not irreverent. That
the custodians of the papers, and to some
extent the honor of Mr. Sumner have
seen proper to ignore all these prophecies
and draw from the mouth of the dead
Senator this TRADE of abuse is not only a
matter Of regret, but justly a subject for

Balls OF Fire.

ONE of our subscribers, Mr.. s. Fl.
Oathout, of Iowa, writes as follows;
AS the season OF thunder, lightning and
balls of fire is fast approaching, / will
mention two that | saw one evening. 1t
was in the county of Clayton and State of
Iowa, in jane, 1857. | had been to mar
ket, was returning home in the evening,
and before me lay to the west fearful
shower, in which all the elements seemed
angry without a cause. AS must of ne
ccssity pass through this shower, my eye
was upon it continually, contriving how
to escape its fury. Presently | saw ball
Of fire in the front cloud as large as full
moon; shortly it began to move toward
the south; it went about half a mile, and
then exploded with q terrible crash, In
about ten minutes l saw another ball of
the same size in the same place, and
moved in the same direction, anC in like
manner as the first, and exploded with q
crash that made the earth remble. These
two balls of fire were standing still when
first saw them; | had ample time to
view them perfectly before they began to
move. They were round rs full moon
and very bright with a thin cloud in
front; when they exploded it was as dark
as Egyptian darkness. This | conceive
t. be rare sight and but few people have
ever seen anything Of the kind. -Pralri5

Working and Sailing Butter.

TOUCHING this important branch of
making butter of prime quality, S. l..
Lewis, Of Oxford, n. Y, writes as fol-
lows to the New York Herald.
When the butter comes as soon as the
dash churns clean, take off the churn; do
not gather the butter compact with the
dasher in the churn (as Is usually done) :;
do not gather it at all, but have hair
sieve, which first wet in hot and then
cold water, so that the butter will not
stick to it, then have a piece of q board
that will fit inside Of the churn to hold
the butter back; turn the buttermilk from
the churn through the sieve; when the
buttermilk is drained out let the butter
remain in the churn; then take your
water, holding it up as high as your
head, and pour it upon the butter in a
stream sufficiently large so that it will
force its way through the butter; keep
the stream moving about upon the butter.
This will separate the little balls of but
ter. Fill up the churn with water until
what little buttermilk there was in the
butter is diluted to that extent that there
will be no necessity OF changing the water,
and the result will be that your butter is
washed, or the buttermilk all rinsed out of
the butter, without breaking, marking or
lnjuring single grain. When it
sufficiently hardens N the water
take it out for sailing, using
the ladle to get out the most of it,
then the sieve. Now comes the sailing
and working. | prefer for a butter
worker an inclined plane in the shape of
letter A with a round lever. Spread the
butter upon the worker, then put one-half
the quantity of salt that you may desire
to put on, roll it in, then with small,
flat wooden shovel turn one-half of it
over on to the top of the other half. Put
on half VI the remaining salt, roll it back,
DO the other half the same and then put
on the balance of the salt; then work the
salt in somewhat, taking particular care
not to let the lever slip on the butter
while working it. Always let the lever
60 on the butter in rolling motion. If
you allow the lever to slip on the butter
it will destroy the grain and make it look
SHY. Set the butter away in cool
place; at night put it on the worker
work it little, then let the mass stand
until the morning and work again just
enough to be sure that the streaks are out
(the white streaks are parts that have not
taken salO, then pack it. The butter
worker should stand face to the light.
The best butter bowl to use is the COM
mon white oak butter tab. If you will
but follow the above directions you can
| manufacture butter from sweet cream as
we'll as sour that will stand the atmos.

GIVE from five leaves how many?'
asked the teacher of little girl of some
in modern arithmetic. After a moment
she answered, Five" "HOw do YOU
make that out?" said the teacher. Hold

"Here are five fingers on my right hand,
