The Duchess Farmer says; To
three gallons Of brine strong enough
TO bear an egg, add a quarter of a
pound of nice white sugar, and one
tablespoonful of saltpctre. Boil the
brine and when 1t Is cold strain
carefully. Make your butter into
rolls, and wrap each roll separately
in a clean white muslin cloth, tying
up with string. Pack large jar
full, weight the butter down, and
pour over the brine until all is
Submerged. This will keep really
good butter perfectly sweet and
fresh whole year. Be careful not
TO put upon ice butter you wish TO
keep any length of time. In the
summcr, when the heat will not
admit of the butter being made into
rolls, pack closely in small jars, and
using the same brine, alIcw it to
cover the butter. to the, depth of four
inches. This excludes the air, and
answers very nearly as well as the
frat method suggested. -

A Memorable Event.

Inc grand opera mousse on the
boulevard DIES Italiens, in Paris, the
largest and most magnificent build
ing of it's kind in the world, is at
last opened. 1t was commenced on
July 81, 1862. under an imperial
decree of Napoleon III. issued in
September, 1860. With all this
grandeur, purchased by the expen-
diture Of millions, the affair of the
opening night seems to have been
miserably mismanaged. TO begin
nth, the building was in an I'M
finished condition, but the minister
Of beaux arts, knowing that he was
going out of office, rushed matters
so rs to have the honor of opening
the new house. 1t is charged also
that the musical programme was
badly arranged, and that only a
meagre pot-pouri was provided, in
which not one Of the first class
artists figured. The lovers of an
cient music-as Luli, Rameau,
Gluck, Mehul and others--were not
represented, and Nilsson quarrelled
with Halanzier and did not appear.
The conditions imposed upon her
with regard to rehearsals were such
as to cause her in selfrespect to
refuse to attend, and in order that
she might not disappoint the, public
she asked that Faure might sing
with her tho garden duett from
Faust, by which rehearsal might
be avoided. Halanzier, the director,
refused, and she was attacked, not
only in the press, but found herself
the subject of a cabal behind the
fcurtain.4 Matters became 30 hot for
her that she sent a medical certifi-
cate that she had taken cold and
could not sing, thus giving up her
share in the proceedings of that
Igala night, a fact which she win
possibly regret to the end of her
life. All kinds of blunders were
made, and in fact every thing seemed
to go wrong, which was duo in part
to, the supreme obstinacy of Halan-
Fzicr, and in part to the fact of the
theater not being ready for recep-
ton. Ono feature alone was su-
perbly perfect. was the audience,

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

40 ts
DAM in the right side, under the
/ edge of the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and it frequently extends to
the top Of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, &C
companied with a painful sensation
of having left undonc something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet arc cold or burning.
and he complains Of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low (,
and although heis satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
OF them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged. - --...l.--.,-

Whether the working classes will ap-

seen. Still we are thankful to Con-

RAILW1Y ENJENPkZSE IN BOS-

Boston is trying to raise herself to the
enterprise OF establishing the cheapest
possible transportation to the West and
Southwest. Her Board of Trade has
unanimously adopted the report Of a
committee appointed to investigate the
problem and give 1t some plausible solu-
ton. The conclusion is that the Hud-
son River must have double track
railroad bridge at Poughkeepsie and a
ferry at Newberg. 1t will take two or
three years to build the. bridge, but the
ferry can 60 into immediate operation
and do a large amount of business. The
ferry-boat can carry 20 cars per trip of
10 tons each, and make three trips In
two hours. This is The cheapest river
transit; but fefryage will be inadequate
to the business.
The bridge at Poughkeepsie will be
4, 800 feet long and will cost 81, 400, 900.
In order that it may not be used in the
interest Of any great Western line, the
committee advise Boston capitalists to
oepcSAloO " h"Joiiuy VI chC ouoShs uc
Pennsylvania company has offered very
heavy subscription, but they are afraid
of it.
The TWO most remarkable railway
bridges are the one at Albany and the
other at st. Louis. The bridge at Albany
passes 100 cars per day, and the tolls are
rs per loaded car. On the st. Louis
bridge the toll varies from So to $40 per
car, according to the character of the
freight. 1t is supposed to pay u per
cent. on the $500, 900 which it cost.
The committee estimate that SINGLE
track bridge at Poughkeepsie, worked to
its full capacity, could pass cars at 35
cents each and pay 10 per cent. on the
cost. A double-track bridge could pay
10 per cent. at toll of 171l cents per car,
or ~ cents per ton of freight.
Boston is very much stirred up with
the idea of getting the most direct and
the cheapest possible communication
with Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chicago and
the Southwest. Our Southern railroad
is in time to second her enterprise.
