that reason, and that reason only, fraudulent
patrons of milk factories, cheating retailers
of milk, and their attorneys of the press
have tried hard to dscredit it,
In regard to the butter globules, Dr. Mott,
who does not seem to have made any origi-
nal Investigations on this point repeats the
old statement that they are Z" enclosed in
solid Gaseous envelopes" 1t takes a long
time to get rid of even as gross an error as
this, not only because it is so common for
one author to follow the statements of
preceding one, without verification, but be-
cause an Impractical operator with the
microscope is so likely to be misled by opti-
cal decisions which it requires much expert
ence to guard against. 1t is sufficient TO say
that not only is there no conclusive proof OF
the presence of an organic envelope, in the
nature of cell wall, upon the butter glob
ule, but microscopic observation, chemical
tests, histologic analogy and rational infer
ence from known facts all concur in evidence
that the oil or butter globule of milk floats
naked in the Gaseous serum, There are
quite sufficient reasons why buttermilk
should be less translucent than skinned
milk while the latter shows more fat glob-
ules than the former, aside from the pres
ence or absence of the globules. The caseine
Is in much more perfect solution in sweet
SKINNED milk than in any buttermilk, sour
orsweet; and tits to the presence of partially
coaguated caseine in the butter, and not
to the Shells" the butter globules that its
superior whiteness must be attributed.
We are interested in all reported inves
LEGATIONS into the nature of the milk secre-
ton, because there are points in practice
more or less dependent upon exact knowl-
edge, such as chemistry and the micro
scrope are alone competent to supply But
we must again record our conviction that as
yet not 1.-THE of the hard and exact study
has been given to the subject that is neces-
airy to bring out the facts, and obliterate the
record of past laundering.

A Worthy Son.

On one of the many bridges in Client,
stands two large brazen images of father
and son, who obtained this distinguished
mark of the admiration of their felow-cit-
liens by the following incidents Both the
father and the son Were, for some offence
against the state condemned TO die. Some
favorable circumstances appearing on the
side OF the son, he was granted remission
of his sentence, under certain provisions in
short, he was offered II pardon, on a most
cruel and barbarous condition-namely, that
he would become the executioner of his
father He at first resolutely refused to
preserve his life by means so fatal and de-
testable. This is not TO be wondered at; for
let us hope, for the honor of our nature, that
there are very few sons who would not have
spurned with adherence, life sustained on
condition so horrid and unnatural. The
son, though long intlexible, was at length
overcome by the tears and entreaties of
fond father, who represents to him that at
all events, his (the father's) life was forfeited,
and that it would be the greatest possible
consolation for him in his last moments,
that in his death he was an instrument of
his sons preservation. The youth consented
TO adopt the horrible means of recovering
his life and liberty he lifted the axe-but,
as II was about To tall, his arm sank nerve
less, and the axe dropped from his hand.
Had he as many lives as hairs, he could have
yieldeds them all, one after another, rather
than again conceive, much less perpetrate
such an act. Life, liberty, everything van
ished before the dearer interests of filial af-
fection he fell upon his fathers neck, and
embracing him, triumphantly exclaimed :
"My father we die togetherw and then
called another executioner TO fulfil the sen
tence Of the law. Hard must their hearts
indeed be-bereft of every sentiment OF vir-
tue, every sensation of humanity could
stand insensible spectators of such scene
A sudden peal of involuntary applause,
mixed with means and signs, rent the air
The execution was suspended, and, ON a
simple report of the transaction to the au-
thorities, both were pardoned. High rewards
and honors were conferred on the son and
finally these two admirable brazen images
were raised TO commemorate a transaction
so honorable TO human nature, and transmit
it 10 the instruction and emulation of poster
ity. The statue represents the son in the
very act of letting fall the axe.

"Oh, mother, what do they mean by blue7
And what do they mean by grayg'
Was heard from the lips Of a little child
As she bounded In from play.
The mothers eyes filled up with tears
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures OF golden hair.
"why. mothers eyes are blue my sweet,
And grandpa's hair Is gray
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day"
" But what did they 2" persisted the child
"Fof saw two crippes to-day,
And of them said he fought for the blue
The other, he fought for the gray.
Now he Of the blue had lost leg,
And the other had but arm.
And both seemed worn and weary and sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm
They told of battles in days gone by,
Till 1t made my young blood thrill;
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight,
And the arm Malvern Hill.
"1hey sat on the stone by the farmyard gate
And talked for an hour or more,
Til their eyes grew bright and their hearts seemed wan
with fighting their battles DER.
And parting ut last with friendly grasp,
In a kindly, brotherly way,
Each calling on God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and gray"
Then the mother thought Of other days
Two stawart boys from her riven
How they knelt at her side and, lspng, prayed.
"Our Father which art In Ileaven;"
How one wore the gray and the other the bluei
How they passed away from sight,
And had gone to the land where gray and blue
Are merged In colors Of light.
And she answered her darling with golden hair,
While her heart was sadly wrung
with the thoughts awakened in that sad hour
by her Innocent pattllng tongue;
" The blue and the gray are the colors Of God
They are seen in the sky at even,
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven" Selected

A Recent Talk About Milk.

DR.. Henry A. Mott, of New York city, in
recent address before the New York State
Dairymens Association, made resume of
scientific ideas about milk, some of which
were of considerable interest.
In regard to the gases and odors of milk.
he says, European analysts find in it only
the gases of the air. Oxygen and nitrogen
and carbonic oxide Ga compound of oxygen
and carbon, varying from carbonic acid only
in the proportions of its two elements)."
As none of these gases possesses any odor
while pure milk has a characteristic smell,
it is plain that it must contain some one or
more volatile substances besides them. But
whatever it may be that gives pure milk its
odor, it is present only in such small proper.
ton that chemical art cannot separate or
identify it.
In diseased milk, however, or in milk
from overdriven COWS, the gases are much
increased in quantity, and"pecular rank
odors are perceptible, very different from the
odor of pure, healthy milk.
As to whether freshly drawn milk is acid
or alkaline, he says, that but for the presence
of the carbonic oxide or carbonic acid gas,
above mentioned, the reaction would always
be decidedly alkaline. But these acidulous
gases are often present in sufficient guam
tity to show an acid reaction and this fact
accounts for the different statements current
on that point.
Upon the much mooted question of the
specific gravity Of milk, scientific point on
which there never was any necessity for dis
pute (and about which no dispute would
ever have arisen, had it not been compli-
Gated with the pecuniary interests and sell
fish passions of those who have bent all
their energies TO the discredting of the
specific gravity instrument as test of
water adulteration) DR.. Mott says that of the
milk of some five hundred and twelve cows,
part examined in this country and some in
Europe, the highest specific gravity OBJ
tanned was l.O36, the lowest, l.02s degrees
of the hydrometer), aud the average 1882,
lie therefore concludes that the specific
gravity of cows milk in its normal condition,
will always range between these two limits
viz, l.02S and l.036 and further, that when
the specific gravity of cows milk is below
1.02S, we may be sure that either the milk
is abnormal, or is not a fair sample of all the
milk that could be obtained from the cow,
or that it had been tempered with, or that
the instrument is incorrect, or that the con
ventional temperature at which the test is
made goo Fahr.) has not been observed.
In all of this DIR. Mott fully sustains every
claim that we have made upon this subject,
and clearly points out the error of those
who, by quoting the recorded specific gravity
of abnormal milk, first and last milk of the
same milking, watered milk, and milk tested
at uncertain temperatures or with incorrect
instruments, have endeayored to maintain
that the specific gravity test is of no value
in the detection of water aduteration. II
is in fact the best, most exact, and most
readily applied single test known; and for

An exchange says "Any dairyman who
is troubled with cows having sore teats
should use plenty of linseed oil before and
after milking. lie will find but little if any
sores or cracks about his cows teats if this
is done Many cows are kickers that would
delight to be MIXED if little linseed oil
were used on the teats. | recommend vial
of it kept in every dairymans stable Some
times teats appear smooth that are tender
and only need a little oil to make the cow
happy" We have been in the habit of
using a mixture of glycerine and water,
about half and half, for this purpose. 1t is
certainly an excellent application, and as it
never freezes or thickens, even in the coolest
weather, vial of it may be kept on a beam
in the stable, and is always ready for use.

VADE HAMPTON'S REPLY
Reasons for Accepting Hayes's
Invitation.

Columbia, March 26.-Gov Hampton
received yesterday the letter of the Presi-
dent inviting him to Washington. To-
day he has written the following reply:
Columbia, March 26, 1877.
To R. B. Hayes, President Of the United
States, Washington:
SIR Il have the honor to acknowledge
your communication of the 23d inst, adj
dressed to me by your private Secretary,
As you express a desire for a personal
conference with myself, through motives
of proper courtesy to yourself the invita-
ton you have extended, though cannot
hope, by doing SO, to throw additional
light on questions which have already
been so ably and thoroughly presented,
and the solution of which is so obvious
and simple but, understanding from the
communication have received that the
object contemplated by the proposed
conference is solely that l might place
before you my views, corrective of inn
pediments to peaceful and orderly Or
ganization of single and undisputed
State Government in South Carolina and
of the best method of removing them, l
shall avail myself of your invitation, so
that may reiterate in person what
have the honor to submit in writing.
That, in my judgment, all impediments
to objects so earnestly desired by your
self and so anxiously expected by the
people of this State can at once be remov"
by the withdrawal of Federal troops from
out the State House. This action on the
part of the Commander in Chief of the
United States forces would not only be
hailed by our people as evidence that
civil authority is no longer to be subordi-
mated to military power in our country,
but it would establish law, insure domes-
tic tranquility, revive our wasted indus
| tries and give assurance that this State IS
to be restored to her just rights under the
Constitution. Whatevergrievances exist
whatever wrongs we suffer, we propose
to redress them, not by resort to force, but
bv legal and constitutional agencies. In
seeking such redress, l feel sure that L
represent fully the determination Of the
thoughtful and conservative portion OF
our whole people when l give assurance
that no prescription shall be exercised
here on account of political opinions, that
no discrimination shall be made in the
administration of justice and that all cit
zens of both parties, both races, shall be
regarded as fully protected by and amen
able to the laws. Joining most heartily
with YOU in the earnest desire you ex-
press that you may be able to put an end
as speedily as possible to all appearance
of intervention of the military authority
of the United States on political derange--
ments which affect the Government and
aflict the people Of South Carolina, and
fervently trusting that this suspicious re-
suit may soon be reached, have the
honor to be t-.,.,s.
Very respectfully, ".,.. ,-,- /
Your obedient servant,
WADE HAMPTON, .
Governor South Carolina.

WADE HAMPTON.

Governor Wade Hampton on his way
to Washington yesterday received splen-
did ovations at all the principal points.
At Wilmington the crowd was immense,
and he responded to welcome by Hon.
A. M. Waddoll. Governor Hampton
said
"MY FRIENDs-I go to Washington sim
ply to state before the President the fact
that the people OF South Carolina have
elected me Governor of that State, l go
there to say to him that we ask no recog-
nition from any President. We claim
the recognition from the votes OF the
people of the State. 1 go there to assure
him that we are not fighting for party,
but that we are fighting for the good OF
the whole country. l am going there to
demand our rights, nothing less, and 80
help me God, to take nothing less. 60
to tell him the condition that South Car
olina has been in for years PAST; that our
people have been under disadvantages
never encountered by any other people
on the continent; that they carried the
election, were successful, and that they
propose to enjoy the fruits OF their VIC
tory"
At Goldsboro and other points large
crowds greeted the party. AT $50 p. M,
5000 people greeted them at the Rich
mond depot. Mr.. Hampton said :.s.es'Sl
I interpret the demonstration as atrib-
ute to the cause represent, good govern
ment, home rule and reform. The peo-
ple of South Carolina are in earnest. We
have tried compromise in vain, and so
last fall we planted our feet firmly on
the Constitution and began to battle for
our rights. We remembered that ours
was one of the original thirteen States,
and strong men and noble women joined
hands in the struggle, declaring by AL"
mighty God they would sacrifice every.
thing to win. (Cheers.) A voice, And
you did win.'1 Yes, my friend, we. did
win. You cannot imagine what those
people had to bear to win their constltu-
tional victory. They did win, and 1t ls
fact that fully 10000 colored men coop
Grated with them, and now thousands and
tens of thousands of colored men are pay
ing taxes to my government (cheers) and
now all we ask, and all L am going to
Washington to ask is, that Federal troops
be withdrawn from the State House OF
South Carolina, the only place in the
State where authority is not expected,
Send soldiers to the barricks where they
belong. Leave the government OF that
State to men who are strong enough to
sustain it. My people tell me to hold on
and so long as they have right to give
me such advice, so help me God Will
hold on. Prolonged cheering .aA -.,---
