How to Prepare Roll Butter for Market.

Care should be taken in packing and
shipping. Country dealers and ship
pers are in the practice of sending roll
butter to this market in every conceiv-
able package, including barrels, pine
boxes, etc. The above named pack
ages should be entirely avoided, as
pine will have a tendency to effect and
flavor the butter, while barrels are too
large and not easily handled; beside,
the weight brushes the roll. New tubs
or hard wood boxes are the most desir-
able, while half barrels or kegs will do
equally well, and these only should be
used. Care should also be taken be.
fore putting the butter in packages
that all the sides and ends of the pack
ages should be lined with new white
muslin, thus keeping the butter from
DETACHMENT by touching the wood.
Another bad practise is in putting the
butter up in paper. This should not
be done, as the paper sticks to the but
ter and damages the appearance.
Each roll should be separately placed
in piece of new muslin cloth, washed
in warm water, to take out the starch,
and thoroughly wet in good brine.
The rolls should also be of uniform
size, and not too large. Then, again,
the rolls should be of uniform color,
not packing the light one fresh made
with the color that has been colored.

How 90 Treat Unexpected Guests.

When one of fathers business friends
drives into the yard at about half-past
eleven, the good wife knows he will sure
ly stay dinner. Father is a great story
teller, and he likes to get hold of a good
auditor. How aptly comes a frown of
dismay and displeasure on the smooth,
fair face of his helpmeet. What can be
done? Work is going on according to
the days plan in the kitchen ; the dinner
was arranged only for the family; the
children are coming home from school
and are making a clatter all is hustle
and confusion. She feels that the best
dishes must be used, and something extra
cooked for the inopportune guest. Now,
good woman, don't do it. Your fine
dinner, with its attendant irritation and
"upsetting," will taste no better than
what you had prepared. Make no differ
ence in your plans, but seat your visitor
with smile and easy greeting at your
hospitable board and he will feel more
comfortable and happy than though you
gave him a banquet. You save temper
and trouble, and gain the enjoyment Of
giving your friend real cosy time. A
sensible person knows that farmers dc
not have six courses upon their tablG
daily, and the Wholesome, hearty fare
with good nature and hospitable cordial
ity, viii be tinctured with q sweet
domestic sense, that is inevitably lost il
dinners. Smiles and neatness are sauc
, for homely meals.-Golden Rule.

We witnessed a novel and beautiful
sight few days ago, says the Florida
Press, at the farm of Mrs. Hildreth, on
the North river, about two miles above
the city. Mrs. Hildreth, in the course
of few months, has succeeded in tanning
the wild birds that fly about the place.
While We were in the house, Mrs. Hill
dreth went out to the door and called to
the birds, which we're then, in the middle
of the day. in an adjoining forest. In a
few moments dozen or more blue-birds
and mocking-birds came flying around
her. She then came into the house and
handed each of our party rasiD, which
we we're requested to hold out in our I'm
gers. Weremained still for few minutes,
when the birds hoped in at the door,
few upon our hands, and picked the
rasins from our fingers. We were
astonished, and could not help wondering
the more when we were informed that
none of those birds had been Gagged, bui
we're thus tanned by the gentleness and
art of this lady.

EDIToRs CLARION: Yesterday was a
great day for the Democracy of Jeffer-

was given, at the historic ground of this
county old Greenville, for many years,
in easier times, the county seat. The
audience was large. Many of them
were the ladies, God bless tteu,, who
came out to cheer the hearts of their
fellow citizens. A large number of col

were Mr.. Barksdale, your senior State
elector. We were rejoiced to see him.
He is the first State EIector that has
come into our county for thirty years.
Judge Cowan, of Vicksburg, the Gem
gresSional Elector, and Mr.. Lanneau OF
Natchez, and colored orator, Mr..
Brown, of Tensas parish La.
Mr.. Barksdale opened in speech of
one hour and half or more. We were
delighted with it. 1t was a review OF
the political history of our State for the
last eight years. His speech was very
instructive and just what the young De-
mocracy needed. 1t was full of eloquent
points, rich anecdotes, and thrilling in
eidents and facts, showing up the cor
ruption, wilfulness, and rascality of the
Radical party. His speech did much
good, Sin stirring up the pure mind by
way of the remembrance, for the malfea-
sance of this corrupt and infamous set.
He did not forget to pay just cOmpli-
ment to the cold guard" who stood
faithfully at their posts whilst the wreck.

Judge Cowan made an able speech,
full Of telling facts that fired the hearts
of every true patriot.
Mr.. Lanneau, a talented lawyer from
Natchez, delivered very passionate ad
dress, principally spoken to the ooloreC

with attention, and his style bein:
