rHE THIRD TERM sPECrER.

when the New York Herald, over a
rear ago, began a discussion Of Grants
third term aspirations and coined the
word Casarsm it was treated by the
press and the country as a sensational
hobby which would run its course in q
few weeks, Hand then be seen and heard
no more.3S The Republican papers
scarcely deigned to notice it at all; the
Democratic press gave it only a passing
notice. The idea of an incumbent Of
the Presidential chair plotting TO per-
petuate bis rule beyond a second term
was 60 repugnant to men of all parties,
except mere ofice-holders and the de-
pendants Of the administration that not
one man in fifty believed such a thing
possible. Time rolled on; the President
smoked his cigar and remained silent as
q dummy. Other papers took up the
ch arge; politicians began to press
it. Other Republican aspirants nod
ded their heads as if to say there
was something in it, until that which
regarded as the creation Of a fertile
journalistic brain has become an i'm
portant factor in the politics ofthe u
try. tits an Issue in which the Democrats
have everything to gain and nothing to
lose. If Grant persists, and it is evil
dent be will, in working for the nomina.
ton his party is not in a condition to
resist his influence and claims, and if
he should decline it he would with
hold any active support Of the nominee.
The Democrats look on with com
placency, knowing that a large per cent.
Of the Republican party will under no
circumstances support Grant. He was
expected 70 make history at Concord
and Lexington by declining to run, but
was mum as usual, which means that he
is a candidate. Active opposition will
come from within his own party, but it
is not organized, yet it is strong enough
to hold the balance of power. The
party took up Grant as a matter Of ex-
pediency, and now would like to get rid
Of him as a matter of expediency.

SEAL OF THE UNITED STATES 1T is
a curious fact, that the seal of the
United States was devised by an Eng
lishman, SirJ ohm Prestwick, baronet.
At least this is declared to be so. As
soon as the Declaration of IDdepen-
dence was adopted new seal became
necessary for public papers. Some
very odd devices wei e suggested. One
was Moses with his rod dividing the
Red Sea, while Pharaoh in his chariot
was overwhelmed in the water On
the other side was a shield, containing
in six compartments the symbols of
the six countries from which the United
States had been mainly peopled. Thus
in one division there was a rose for
England in a second, a thistle for
Scotland, in third. a harp for Ireland;
then a golden lily for France, a
crowned lion for Holland, and a black
eagle for Germany. Another device
was representation Of the Children
Of Israel in the Wilderness led by a
cloud. A third representad Hercules
resting on his club, while Virtue urged
him up a rugged mountain-path, and
Sloth pointed to a flowery down hill
road. This last device was not very
complimentary to the new nation, for
it seemed to point at a possible danger
from laziness. All these, and num-
ber Of other suggestions, did not meet
with general approval. At last, in
1892, after the matter had been dis
cussed for about six years, John Ad-
ans, then in England, sent over the
design suggested by this baronet, who,
it appears, was an antiquary. The
main device was aneagle with a shield
on his breast holding in one talon an
olive branch, and in the other a bundle
of arrows, and bearing in his beak a
scroll with the now familiar motto, f.
Plvibus Ununa, one out of many
Without further parley this was
adopted, and thus the seal Of the
United States came from England

RRrNE THAT WILL PRESERVE But

TER A YEAR-Among the many oe-
vices for keeping butter in a manner
that will preserve the fresh rosy hafcr
of the new with all its sweetness, Is
the following from the Duchess Fdrmer'
which is said to be entirely successful:
"To three gallons of brine, strong
enough to bear an egg, add quarter
of a 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 separately in a clean
white muslin cloth, tying up with a
string. Pack large jar full, weigh
the butter down, and pour over the
brine until all is submerged. ms
will keep really good butter perfectly
sweet and fresh n whole year. BE
careful not to put upon ice butter that
YOU wish to keep for any length OF
time. In summer, when the heat VIII
not admit of butter being made into
rolls. pack closely in small jars, and
using the same brine. allow 1t to cover
the butter To the depth of at least four
inches. This excludes the air, and
answers very well, as the first method
