BRINE FOR PRESERVING BUTrER.-The
Dutchess Farmer says: To three gallons of
brine, strong enough to bear an egg, add a
quarter of pound of nice white sugar and
one tablespoonful of saltpetre. Boil the brine,
and when it is cold strain carefully. Make
your butter into rolls, and wrap each roll
separately in clean white muslin cloth, tying
up with string Pack a large jar full,
weight the butter down, and pour over the
brine until all is submerged. This will keep
really good butter perfectly fresh for whole
year. Be careful to not put any ice upon
butter that you wish to keep for any length
of time. In summer, when the heat will not
admit Of butter being made into rolls, pack
closely in small jars, and using the brine, al
low it to cover the butter to the depth of at
least four inches. This excludes air, and
answers very nearly as we'll as the first meth
cd suggested.

ARrESIAN WELLS.

Mr.. Thomas Wilson, Of Cedar
Hill, in this county, proposes to
form II joint stock company to rur-
chase the necessary machinery for
boring artisean wells in this coun.
~. The machinery required will
cost in the neighborhood of seven
or eight thousand dollars, and with
it wells can be sunk TO any desired
depth and through any kind Of soil
or the hardest of rock. The appa-
ratns consists of II diamond drill,
which is operated from the surface
Of the ground, and can be penetrat-
ed in the earth ut the rate of from
forty TO sixty feet per day, accord
ing to the nature OF the earth. 1t
is to be hoped that Mr.. Wilson will
be successful in getting the stock
taken ut once. The advantage of
these wells on our prairies cannot
be estimated in dollars and cents.
When introduced, it will well repay
every farmer in the county to have
one. They are no experiment
wherever they have been sunk,
they have proved blessing.

Mr.. PAUL HENRY, Of Lancaster,
has specimen of clay found in the
river bottom, East of that town,
which, for iirmncss and hardness,
after being burned, cannot be ex-
celled by any in this country. The
clay is of light yellow color, but
on being burned turns to beautiful
burnish red. Mr.. II. has several
small balls which he has made from
it, which evidence the purity and
fneness of the clay; and he thinks
that the most beautiful pottery and

With rosy lips apart,
With sunbealns glinting In your hair,
And sunbeanls at your heart
Glad sounds about yoHr senses rise,

That mine may never see.

And is the day SO bright"
For me the boughS are bare, love,
And chill dcscends the night.
All me ! | mind me of II time,
Deep in the buried pust,
When |, too, dNelt in the sweetest cline
Wherein your lot Is east;
When fragrance tlOatcd ON the breeze,
When heaven bent blue above,
And every wild bird in the trees
Sang Stlll OF hope ANA love.
Dead are those flowers so rare, love,
And dimined that day 50 bright,
For me the DOughS are bare, love,
And chill descends the night.
Grim clouds came up, and overSprcad
The heavens with sullen gray;
The roses dropped, the fragrance He'd,
The breeZes died away.
And now, of all the happy throng,
On" bird il left alone,
To sing Droken-hcartcd song

Dead are those flowers so rare, love
And dinimed that day SO bright,

SOUND SENSE FROM AN UNEX-
PECrED sOURCE.

Colonel Frederick w. Miner, of
Paris, Texas, has very sensible
letter in the last issue of Norton's
Intelligencor, in which he discusses
various subjects which must occupy
the attention Of the Constitutional
convention. His views on many of
them are excellent, especially about
common schools and suffrage, which
are in the main those which have
been advocated by The HERALD.
But it is not true. as asserted by the
writer, that it is Democratic doc
trine that only paupers should be
educated by the State We are
aware that such are the views OF
some Of our party, for whose opin-
ions VIC have great respect, but on
this point we are forced to differ
with them, and contend for a gen.
eral-application of the school fund.
We want a school system which will
embrace the whole scholastic popu-
lation of the State.
We commend the following ex-
tract, relating to the important sub
ject Of suffrage to the earnest con-
sideration of our readers:
1--WE can not make any discrimi-
nation on account of race. color or
previous condition of servitude,

TEXAS students at colleges and
universities outside of the State
have acquitted themselves with
great honor this year. AT the
Washington and Lee, the Virginia,
and the Kentucky Universities,
where Il large number of our Texas
youths are being trained for careers
of usefulness and distinction, they
have won many honors. Neither
have our young ladies been behind /;
and at Stanton, Virginia, and the
Canadian schools, where some of
them are being educated, they have
been very successful. The daughter
of Captain Murphy. of this city,
carried off the medal of merit for all
Canada, given this year by the
Captain General of the Dominion.
In our home institutions we also
have a right to be proud of our Dal-
las boys. In the official report of
the faculty of the Georgetown Uni
versity, we are pleased to notice
that Master Leslie Clark, son of our
worthy fellow.citizen, Captain W..
J. Clark, carried off the highest hon
ors off his class in Latin, Greek and
Political Economy.
By the way, it is greatly to be re-
gretted that it is necessary, or
thought by some to be so, TO send
our children abroad to be educated.
This great State ought to have a
University of her own equal
to any in the land. As it
is it must be confessed that
strictly speaking, We have no Uni
versity in this State, the institutions
assuming that name although very
good schools, no doubt, and in some
instances conducted by men OF
learning and skill, it is absurd
TO call them, or claim for them the
character Of Universities. Such
pretensions are calculated TO detract
from their real merits. The presi-
dents and professors of these insti-
tutions, many of whom are alumni
Of colleges and of real universities,
ought to be honest enough
not 10 assume a character for
their institutions which they
dc not possess. Still they are do

CALL AT THE COURTHOUSE AND
REGISTER.

We aga,n call the attention of
our readers to the subject OF regis.
tralion, for the purpose Of urging
the necessity of prompt attendance
AT the Clerks Office, on 'he part OF
every citizen who has not already
registered.
On next Monday, the seventh
day from to-day the election, which is
to settle the question whether or not
we are to have II new constitution, is
to be held. We believe there is scarce
ly any division Of opinion in this
district, us to tho necessity for hold
ing the convention. With few ex-
ccptions our citizens agree with
The HERALD that the defeat of the
convention would be great misfor-
tune to the state ; and yet we fear
there is n considerable number of
otherwise legally qualified voters
in Dallas county who have not yet
registered. In the Lancaster neigh
bon hood alone, we have been in
for,led there are ut least one
hundred and fifty citizens who
have not registered. In the vicini-
ty of Scyene, it is said, there are also
quite number, and of other parts
of the county we hear the same
story.
There seems to be some misap.
prehension in regard to the duty of
the Clerk in this matter The law
provides that one month before
every general election, the Clerk
shall visit or send deputy to each
precinct for the purpose of register
ing qualified voters. But ut special
elections, the registration is ali done
Il, the Clerks office at the county
seat.
The registration books of this
county will be closed on next Thurs
day night, and whoever is not reg
istercd ut that time will have no
voice in determining the question
Of convention or no convention.
Therefore let every unregistered
citizen come forward and perform
this duty before it is too late.

The Jefferson Davis Homestead Asso-
clati0n.

The Marshall Herald of July II. has
an article on this Association, in which
it says that the objects and purposes,
and proposed management Of the
County Associations do not seem to be
thoroughly understood, notwithstand-
ing circulars have been distributed
very generally In every section of the
State. We quote from the Herald:
"First-It is proposed that an asso-
citation shall be formed in every coup
ty In Texas, each acting entirety iiIde-
Dendent of the other, and that what
ever money Is collected in each county
shall be deposited in one OF their own
local banks or some other place, SUB
iect to the draft of che Honorable JEFF

character. Some here have enrolled
not only their individual names, but
their wives, and each one of their
children, at dollar each. Others have
given so and $50, and some as much
as SlOO. This was their grateful priv
ilege.

not proposed to control Mr.. Davis in
the selection of q home, but to allow

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

True to the traditional policy of
his predecessors, Alexander of Rus
sia is pushing the frontiers of his
vast empire towards central Asia,
with such vigor and rapidity that
England is alarmed for tho safety of
her Indian possessions. And well
she may be, for however pacific the
disposition of the present Gar, it is
certain that the Russian nation has
neither forgotten nor forgiven the
Crimean war and the destruction of
Sabastopol. Sooner or later they
will seek their revenge, by attempt
ing the conquest of British India.
In a struggle between those gigantic
empires, the Muscovites, in some re-
spects, would have vastly the ad-
vantage. By the way of the Volga,
the Mississippi of Russia, her ar
mics could be transported from the
heart of the empire to the Caspian
sea, and thence by railway, which it
is limited is already projected,
they could be rapidly thrown with
in few hundred miles Of tho terri
tory of Hindostan, with only the
comparatively small kingdom of
Afghanistan to traverse to reach
Northern India. To cross this mar
row belt, and to pour down the val
10y of Cashmere, and through the
passes of Hymilayahs into the valley
of the Indus, would be the work Of
but few weeks. An army of three
hundred thousand Russians once
established there, and the
British empire in India will have
passed away.
This is the skeleton in the closet
of our English cousins just ut this
time, and it is the fear of il that has
induced the House of Commons to
vote $4,000 to pay the travelling
expenses of the Prince Of Wales on
his approaching visit to India.
Since the fearful mutiny of the
Sepoys in 1857, the fidelity of the
native troops has been greatly dis
trusted, and it is hoped that the
visit of tho future emperor Of
India" attended by all the pomp
and circumstances of Imperial
power; squadrons of war steamers
by sea, and regiments of cavalry as
an escort by land, with troops of
elephants for the transportation of
baggage, would all inspire these i'm
pressible orientals, if not with senti-
meets of loyalty, at least with a
high idea of the power and great
ness of England, thereby holding
them true to their allegiance.

THE HERALD has had frequent Oc-
casion to find fault with Governor
Coke's official acts, but we must
express our utter condemnation Of
the course of the Jefferson Ledder,
in It's efforts to fix upon the Govern
or the stain Of corruption, in refer
ence to the location Of tho eastern
branch of the penitentiary. In its
disappointment at the failure Of the
commissioners to make the location
at Jefferson, it indul ges in the I'M
generous charge that the commits.
soners were unduly Influenced by
the Governor to make the location
at Rusk, near which, according TO
the Leader, ho owns large bodies Of
land. The commissioners thus
charged with completely in this
corrlption are Col. W. W. Lang
of Falls county; Maj. Ed. Burleson
of Hays; B. W. Brown of Gregg;
Thomas A. Dwyer of Bexar; and Il.
l.. Gregg of Cherokee, men whose
integrity is 80 unimpeachable rs to
make tho charge, that they were
actuated by corrupt motives or in
fluences, absolutely ridiculous. As
for Governor Coke, whatever may
have been his mistakes and faults,
in the executive office, his personal
honor and integrity has never be-
fore been called in question; and
tho Leader, we think, has commit
ted grave mistake in bringing so
offensive charge without the
shadow of evidence in its possession
TO support it.
