The Extra Session,

Seated in his paror ct the Fifth Avenue
Hote with hi; feet comfortably elevated, and
bending all the powers OF the mighty intellect
which has swayed the nalion in a vain endeavor
to prevent his Havana from burDiog all on one
side, Geo. B. +. Butler was found yesterday
moruiDg ty Herald reporter. who approached
him thus:
II have beea sent, General to learn your
views Oh the subject OF the extra session Of
Congress called for by President Hayes. Is
there great necessity for it
The Army Appropriation bill faiIing," he
replied, Il hare been uuabe to SEQ how it was
possible to avoid an extra session OF Congress-
| Any other appropriation falling, it would have
| beeo Within the possibilities 10 have tlded over
| the interval. 1t will be remembered that the
| only prohibition 10 the constitution against
Congress making permanent appropriation
for aoy portion Of the public service is n re.
gard 10 the army. They may raise and sup.
port armies. but no appropriation shall be made
for longer than TWO years. Th!a inhibition was
borrowed from the British Constitution. into
which it was Cngrstied, after I great struggle
With the King, to prevc0. 4 wiling aud sub
serrlent Parliament from maGing approprla-
tlOnS and eyylng taxes 10 meet the expenses OF
the army pcrmaucnces IS which tie liberties
Of the people might haGc been subyertcd.
From the British constitution it was copied
into ours. Now the House OF Representatives
having refused an appropriation for the army
for reasons which seem good TO them and for
which they will be responsible t1 their constit
usnls and 10 the people. the constitution can
not by any device or c!rcumVcntlOn be made 10
conter any power upon the President 10 the
matter; and If he can borrow m0Dey or apply
other appropriations OF do anything to tide
over six months, it is difficult to Sc why he
may not do the SAME thing far six years, and
thus cvade the Constitutional limit which wa,
ucant as one Of the safeguards Of public liberty.
''With these views | have never doubted
(allhough it wou be very much to my oWn
personal discomlrrt aud i1conyenlenoe) that
the President upon examination would hnd il
necessary for this reason alone, TO call an extra
session of Congress. | hope and trust there
will be 10 other business done 10 that sesSloD.
The country is weary Of political struggles just
now; and no good can be ataned By renewing
them"

THE MILK QUESTION.

Man, as mamma is subject to many
vicjssitudes. From the cradle to the
grave he is either the victim of mistaken
kindness or of open fraud. Whether he

it from the perambulating can,

stomach. His ante-weaning life is a
period of vicarious atonement for the
Indiscretions OF the mother. The alter
nations of chollc and soothing sirup
cramps and paregoric hatulency and
peppermint make existence a burden.
During this period he plays the game OF
life at a great disadvantage; while from
the hour he is shut off from the maternal
nourIshment he is exposed to the perils

line of protecting him from these latter
frauds and impositions. 1t has long
been thought that the lactometer fur
nished safeguards against them by be-
traying adulteration, or distractions OF
bhe better part Of the fluid. Many Il
milkman has been brought TO grief on
the testimony OF this little instrument.
1t is now asserted that as means of
detecting authorizations Of milk it is
wholly inadequate and untrustworthy.
In the recent trial of New York milk
man for selling adulterated milk, it was
shown that skimming milk instead Of
diminishing its density only seems to
Increase it.
That water and cream are both of less
lpecitic gravity than milk itself, and
}hat the lactometer which is simply a
measure of gravity, can not be relied
upon to show whether cream has been
removed and anything else added or

Winter onions vs.. Peach Rorera

A correspondent ofthe Prairie Farmer
saws:
-Four years ago heard that winter
onions or shallOts set around the trees
would prevent borers from working on
peach trees. tried the experiment. on
fifty trees just sci, and on examining
them to-day, lind many trees not thus
protected are full OF worms, but have
never found worm on one with onions
growing around it. l set eight to twelve
around each tree.
To which the Farmer adds: We have
heard tansy recommended for tue same
purpose, and haVeseen newspaper items
affirming its success, and the expert
ence OF our correspondent gives another
preventive. For large orchard, under
most circumstances, the work can be
more rapidly and cheaply done, we
think, by the use OF washes and the
knife. IL is to be remembered, also,
that in most soils the peach tree need y
frequent cultivation, which would rem

not in the Sheriff. The parties to the

that the property brings fair price,
