DIR. Gotthelf was then called OH to
give his experience and practice in but
ter making. He said in substance:
Butter making pays better than raising
grain; but if we would command good
price we must take better care of our
milk. Hebelieves we can make as good
butter as can be made anywhere if we
try. He keeps his milk in. basement,
which is 12x14, with double floor. and
walls, tight, and ventilated: sets it in
earthen pans, skins after Ahours, and
churns every two days. He uses a
common dasher churn, and i:ccliurns
about one hour. When, the butter is
ready to, come he adds a little cold
sweet milk. When the butter ohas
gathered he pours off the 'buttermilk

among the hidden springs that underlie and
control human life, in search of an answer to
the inquiry why we laugh. The author calls
up and questions the masters Of wit in time,
ancient and modern, compares, dissect5 ana

Exit Ames.

Atelbert Ames whose natural life had
its beginning in our neighboring city of
Rockland, brought his political existence
to a termination in Mississippi last week.
With the removal of the iron hand of mil
itary despotism. the state became at once
Democratic The first business of the
Legislature naturally and properly wa to
bring the conduct of the Governor to the
test of a searching legal examination. 1t
was carried on rigidly, persistently, and
with such a probability of conviction by
impeachment, that Ames sought terms
with the representatives of an outraged
people. Like Capt. SCOTS coon, he came
down. He promised that ii proceedings
were stayed, he would resign. This was
agreed to, and Ames, having put his Off
cial head under the knife of the guillotine
and pulled the string himself, is now a
thing of the past, and past that has an
unsavory odor in the nostrils of decent
men, 1t wasn't Just the ending for man
OF moral principle, conscious innocence
and high courage to make-but rather a
sneaking from an ordeal that he dared not
face-a going out with the reign of bad
men and worse principles
There was no more honesty or fairness
in the manner in which Ames was impos-
ed as L. 5. Senator and Governor upon
the people, of that state, than in any of
the most discreditaole acts of the admins
tration. He had no sympathy with the
people. and no care Tor their interests.
The places he held were simply sources of
so much income, which he used as the
means OF living abroad. The state is to be
congratulated in being eflectually rid of
Ames and his satellites.

The recent cable dispatches regarding
the loss the British emigrant ship Strath-
more and the adventures of its survivors
reveals story as strange in its way as
that of Pitcairn's Island or Juan Fernan-
dez. 1t seems that this ship struck the
rocks among the CroZet group Of islands
in the South Pacific, on the lst of July. at
half-past 4 o'clock in the morning, and
was wrecked Immediately. Forty-four
persons were drowned. The survivors
saved nothing whatever, and subsisted
themselves upon the rocks for six months
upon sea birds and their eggs. When
they We're rescued they We're much ema-
ciated and almost naked. Five had died
there from exposure and want. A Yankee
whaler commanded by Capt Clifford, on
his way to the South Sea fisheries, came
upon the unhappy survivors Of the wreck
OF British emigrant ship, the Strathmore
clinging desperately to life on the desc
late Crozet Islands. He had to choose at
once between abandoning his voyage and
taking these poor creatures to some place
where they might be properly cared for
and crowding them into his ship and go
ing on his cruise. He made his choice in
stantly, and gave up all his own prospects
for their sakes. and took them to England
The London Times of the 29th of March
pays glowing and well-deserved tribute
to the rescuers Of the castaways of the
Strathmore, and utters probably no vain
words when it says that "the English ma
ton will not fail to do honor, and some
thing more than bare honor, to the deed
and to the man."

Feels Bad-Very.

The Captain who endeavors to direct
the course of the Bangor Wing appears to
have hard time of it, Sailing with the
1leet OF Maine newspaper craft, he seems
to be envious Of some of them, and shows
his green lights in a very foolish way.
The extract copied to-day exhibits an I'M
happiness because the editor of this paper
delivered an address before the editorial
association, and still more so for the reason
that he is member of the State Centen-
nial Board. These are matters of small
interest, but since they are dragged in a
few words may not be improper. The in
vitation to address the editors was not
sought, but being rendered was accepted.
1t can scarcely be called matter for
blame on our part. either, that they voted
thanks, and requested a copy of the ad-
dress for publication. The appointment on
the Centennial Board was made without
our solicitation, or even previous knowl-
edge. Coming from Governor Dingley,
himself a prominent journalist, it was con-
sdered a high compliment, and was ac-
cepted. The very head and front OF our
offending hath this extent : no more.n
CHATS not Macbeth.)
The cause of the Captain sourness is
evident to those who understand the case.
1t will be remembered with what cries of
anguish he rent the concave when the
heirs of MI Lynde sold that paper to other
parties, and with what howlings and i'm
plorings he sought portion Of the estab-
lishment. Now, after it has been conced-
ed, he cant find exactly what he expect
ed, either in profits OF reputation. lie

Consequently he is cross grained The
situation is like that of a Connecticut riv-
er sloop which coaster once met in a
high wind on the Sound. The jib was slat-
ting, the boom swinging from side to side,
and everything movable travelling the
deck. Hailing the one visible individual,
who was clinging to the rail, the coaster
captain asked = "Who commands that

Connecticut isn't New Hampshire. In

Grant, Belknap, Babcock, and the whole
evil brood have been routed-they and
their works. Gov. Ingersoll is reelected

asked. Now for the procession of the

AUGUSTA, Me, March 80. A public
meeting of the citizens Of Augusta and of
the towns along the line of the proposed
railroad from this city to West Waterville
and Wiscasset, designed to form part
of a through line from Quebec to the At
lantic, was held in Granite Hall in this
city this afternoon. The meeting was
large and quite enthusiastic. Upon the
platform were gentlemen from Canada
interested IN the Lewis Il Kennebec Rail
road (another link in the proposed line),
among them the Mayor of Quebec. Owen
Murphy, Hon. A. r. Anglers, Attorney
General of Canada. and E. Beaudet, pres
ident of the Lewis & Kennebec Railway.
Mayor Nash called the meeting to order
in brief and pleasant address of welcome
to the gentlemen from Canada and the
neighboring towns, and introduced Gov.
Conner as chairman of the meeting.

Messrs Nye and Haskell, of the Maine

for awhile at least. the most of the Maine
folks will find home at the United States,

After or about the time of the opening the
Maine headquarters will probably be upon
the grounds, though the State will have
no building of its own.
