A Dog Swimming Forty Miles.

Captain Bunce, of the Leonida, is the
owner of a large Spitz dog, named
Jack, that was picked up in the middle
of the Sound several years ago, as he
was swimming about several miles from
land. On Tuesday the Captain left the
faithful creature or the East Neck wharf
by some mishap, and Jack, seeing the
vessel some distance out in the bay, de-
cided to follow. As the vessel was I'M
der good Roadway, little notice was
taken of his jumping off the wharf, as
it was supposed that he wonld soon re-
turn. The vessel rtaclcd New York
that night. Nothing was seen of the
dog about here during the following
day, but what was the astonishment OF
the Captain and crew, on going up to
the deck while the vessel lay in her dock
in New York on the morning of the
second day, to find the faithful creature
at his post watching over the vessel in
his usual n He was thoroughly
exhausted by his long swim of ovel
forty miles, however, and could dc

The Bashi-

A special correspondent writing from
Widdin gives the following graphic ac-
count of a detachment of the famous
Turkish lrregulars:
The Austrian Consul had the kind
ness to present me TO the Civil Gov
enor of Widdin, ltisad Pacha. Fortu-
natcly, during our visit the detachment
of Bashi-Bazouks drawn from the Tar
tar and Circassian districts of Northern
Bulgaria marched into the wide court
of the Government House to be reviewed
by the Governor. Risad Pacha, an ex-
cecdingly courteous gentleman of Euro
pean manncrs-speaking only the
mother tongue, however-entered the
court and invited us TO follow. As he
approached the ranks the commander,

How to Make Butter Hard In
Hot Weather.

An English butter-maker of large ex-
perience, who is now on a visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
our cheese and butter diaries, gives us
the following information concerning o
method in practice among the best but
ter-nakers Of England for hardening or
rendering butter firm and solid during
hot weather! Carbonate Of soda and
alum are used for the purpose, made
into q powder. For twenty pounds of
butter n teaspoonful Of carbonate of
soda and n teaspoonful of powdered
alum are mingled together at the time
of churning and put into the cream.
The effect of this powder is to make
tho butter come firm and solid, and to
give II a clean, sweet flavor. 1t dses
not enter into the butter, but its action
is upon the cream, and it passes of
with the buttermilk. The ingredients
of the powder should not be mingled
together until required to be used OF at
the time the cream is in the churp
ready for c~hurning.- Watertotcn I'M

The Indian Problem.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Instructions
to the Sioux Commission appointed I'M
der the recent act of Congress are near
ly completed. One of the most i'm
portant subjects OF negotiation is that
represented by the fifth clause of the
instructions, and the President is
strongly impressed with the belief that
an agreement which shall be best cal
culated to enable the Indians TO become
self.supporting is one which shall pro-
vide for their removal at Us early q day
as possible TO the Indian Territory.
They must depend for their support
mainly upon the cultivation OF the soil,
and their own country is quite unfit for
that purpose. The superior climate
and soil of the Indian Territory and
the fact that that territory is forever
secured to the Indian people should
afford strong inducements for the
Indians to enter into such
agreement. The Indians a not now
live upon their reservation without the
aid of the Government, and it is under
no obligation to continue its supplies OF
food. While no money considerations
should be offered them as an induce
ment for any undertaking on their part,
it is believed the Government will will.
ingly fsrnish them subsistence, medical
assistance and schools until they can
care for themselves in ease of theil
removal to the Indian Territory. If,
however, they decline to agree to such
removal, they should be informed that
they will be obliged to go to the Mis-
souri, River to receive such supplies a

of Congress and treaties with then

Tar bu;,dino comm,,tee ~ a church.

THE building committee Of 9 church,
recently finished in New Jersey, wanted
o stone slab over the door, with the
name Of the church and q Scriptural
motto. It occurred TO them that moth
ing could be neater than "My house
shall be called the house Of prayer"
SO one of the committeeman, who was
in q great hurry, told the stone.cutter
to chisel on the slab the thirteenth verse
Of the twenty-first chapter Of Matthew.
He thought the verse ended with the
words he wanted TO use. The stone.
cutter took tho whole verse from the
Bible, aud faithfully copied it TO the
end. Imagine the horror Of the COM
mitteemen when the stone was deliver
ed! 1t read "My house shall be call
ed the house of prayer; but ye have
made it a den of thieves" The stone
cutter insisted that he had obeyed
orders. but the committeeman insisted
that the motto he had inscribed was
not what they wanted, and that it woul |
be Of no particular use to them. That
slab is now in the stone-cstter's yard,
and any body who wants 1t for a tomb
stone a probably buy it cheap.
