New YORK, April lathe steamer
Tybee which arrived to-day from Cape
Hatien, brings intelligence Of revolution
against Governor General Dominique,
which took place in Cape Hatien on the
4th inst. and has proved complete sue
cess, the whole population rising en-
masse without dissenting voice. No
blood was shed. In the entire north as
far as heard from, including Fort Ebentic,
Ziron, Grandee, Iviere, Lembi and Plaz-
zance have declared in favor of revolu-
ton on the 9Th Of April. The troops Of
the north were marching on Gonaives to
attack that place should such step be
found necessary, which is not probable.
It is almost certain that present Govern
ment must fall.

JONES ON THE SILVER CoINAaE.-The
prospects OF the silver currency bill are
still considered doubtful. The Senate
will probably adopt the amendments re-
ported by the Finance committee, but
they will encounter lively opposition
in the House even If the Senate sends
the bill there, which many seriously
doubt. Senator Jones argument before
the Finance committee was very effeotual,
his contemplated speech and interesting
facts in support Of his general PROPOSE
ton may strengthen the bill. He will
show conclusively that the worlds silver
production has decreased instead of aug
mented. and cites wonderful collection
OF acknowledged authorities to show
that iDjudioious tax alton and not over
production has produced the apparent
silver glut. No one who converses with
him fails to be impressed by his exhaus.
tive explanation of this whole subject.
In its personal column the New York
Herald says: Senator John P. Jones, in
his forthcoming speech on silver, will try
to make strike by being popular. BE
believes that the debtors are the laborers,
representing the activity of the world
He thinks that dollars for work done
should not too greatly control dollars fol
work not yet done. Gold, be says, il
diminishing a. . product, while silvel
must be brought into more general usa
for the sake Of the debtor; while the cap
itelist will prefer bonds. Isn't John p
mistaken

Making sugar out of melons is new
California industry.
Pole beans should be topped. and they
will bear larger quantity Of seed
The average product of potatoes is not
lar from - bushels per acre, with occa-
sonal yields that prove Il possibility OF
eight or nine hundred bushels.
The wheat crop of the United States is
estimated to average from twelve to fiji
teen bushels per acre, while the possible
Weld has been shown to be over seventy
bushels,
The Weld Of hay for the whole country
is not much over one ton per acre, on Il
general average, against possible yield
of five tons and over, as shown by various
successful farmers
The great and only secret in raising
turkeys is to keep them dry and warm
They must, at the same time, have such
grass, bugs, flies and gravel as they would
pick up if running at large.
Although the potato crop i'll Ireland is
reported to be excellent. the harvest pros
poets in all parts threaten to be seriously
affected by the long drought. and cattle in
several districts are suffering from scare
ity of water
The laboring man who works for him
self. and thinks, plans, calculates and aims
at excellence in all he does, can succeed
as well to-day, gle-handed as ever be
fore only when his efforts are made in the
right direction.
Crops in general are reported good
throughout the entire country. Farmers
will have plenty to eat, even should they
not receive high prices for their surplus
This is more than those of other vocations
can say, especially in the cities.
Vegetables that are valued for their
iuiciness and mild flavor require rapid
growth, but the reverse should be the case
When strong flavor is desired. But quick
growth is not desirable for Towering
shrubs, as handsome and more stocky
plants are made if grown slowly.

Powder for Hardening Butter in Hot
w Gather.

An English butter maker of large eN-
perence, who is now on a visit to this
country for the purpose of looking over
our cheese and butter dairies. gives us
the following information concerning a
method in practice among the best butter
makers of England for hardening or rem
derng butter firm and solid during hot
weather Carbonate of soda and alum are
used for the purpose, made into a powder.
For twenty pounds Of butter, one tea
spoonful OF carbonate of soda and one tea
spoonful of powdered alum are mingled
together at the time of charming and put
into the cream. The effect of this powder
is to make the butter come firm and solid,
and TO give it a clean. sweet flavor 1t
docs not enter into the butter, but its ac-
ton is upon the cream, and it passes off
with the buttermik. The ingredients of
the powder should not be mingled to-
gethcr until required to be used, on at the
time the cream is in the churn ready for
churnng

Foot Mats.

4 queer way to make Il foot mat for
your sitting room is to take a plain color
ed Gelalne dress, no matter how Old--or If
you want two cOlOrS, take two dresses,
and arrange the shades to suit Yourself
cut bias strips two inches wide, fringe the
edges with a large pin-you can do it very
taSt-ltn thread through the middle,
draw it up together almost as tight and
close as you can, then sow this on to some
firm foundation. You want to commence
in the middle and go round and round. 1t
takes u good deal of material, but that
doesn't matter tor ii can be made of what
is good for nothing else If YOU haven't
enough to make the whole mat il this
way. cut a plain centre piece OF black
cloth, or something that will last, and sew
the tringed gathers around it. After it is
scwed on, trim it evenly, anI it will have
the appearance of a chenille foot mat.
Another way is to take m Old pair Of
black pants--or any other plain color will
do, Of course-cut about dozen yards of
inchWidc strips; then cut some red, or
bright colored flannel the same way; il
you havn't Old, you can get coarse scar
let flannel for thirty cents 4 yard plenty
good enough, and one ward will make two

firm for the loundation; then cut a piece
Of black two fingers wide and five long

English Method of Packing Butter
for Marl1et

The Derbyshire method OF sending but
ter to market is quite different from any-
thing practsed in this country. The dairy
farmers put their butter up in halt-pound
prints neatly stamped Instead Of boxes
or pals fer packing they use stout willow
baskets These are made especially for
the purpose, and are arranged to receive
from fifteen to thirty prints in each layer,
and several layers OF prints are placed one
above the other The LAYERS of prints lust
tit the basket in rows five 10y six or four
by five, 50 rs to avoid shucking and bruis-
inc by moving from their position AS
placed in the basket. The baskets are
very nicely made the sides rising up from
the bottom perpendicularly, ANA being
made sufficiently strong to retain a true
and even shape From fifteen to thirty
pounds OF butter are packed in each bask
ct, according TO the size ot the dairy OF
the amount of butter to be sent to market
from time t. time In other words the
baskets are made of different sizes to ;tc-
commodate the dairy, and they are com
pletely flied with prints when sent to
market. The following is the manner of
packing: First, It fine. white, dry cloth is
laid over the basket, and upon. this is
placed 4 wet one OF fine white cotton.
They lay dock leaves over the bottom.
The dock leaf has n stalk running through
its length, thus rendering the back Of the
leaf uneven while the face Of the leaf is
flat The stalk, therefore, must be care
fully drawn off with u knife, care being
taken that the leaf is not split Now wet
the prepared leaves and place them in the
bottom Of the basket, and upon them
place Il layer of butter prints, then layer
nf leaves, ANA so on until the basket is
filled finishing with q layer of leaves
The ends of the cloths are now turned
down over the whole, and it is complete
The basket should hold five halt-pound
prints in depth. In this way the butter
goes to market in the nelghboring city or
village, sweet, rosy, and in fine condition,
the same as if leaves the ]3irV
