Since the war there has been gradual
reduction in the expenses of the navy
until 1876, when they amounted 20 $1S,-
919, $1,000. There are some interesting
items in the list. In 1923 the first spe-
cial appropriation of $40, 5O.17 was
made to suppress the slave trade. In
all, $1S7, 01S has been appropriated for
this purpose. In 1S47 there was spe-
cial appropriation of $4,000 to build
gunboats on the Rio Grande to assist the
military in the Mexican war, and the
subsequent year 81, 100000 was appro-
priated for the same purpose. In 1863
81, 160, 600 was appropriated for men-of-
war, and $3.50, 900 for building gunboats
on Western rivers. An annual appro-
made during the three subsequent years
for the same purpose.
The Nautical almanac was first pub
lished in 1850, and it has cost the Gov
eminent 1857, 1856. A since that time, an
average of about $21 900 per year.

THE NAVY.
Interes,ing Statistics.

A very interesting document has been
issued from the Government printing
Office, being a statement Of the expendi
lures of the nation for the first 100 years
of its existence for its naval service.
The smallest amount ever appropriated
for the support of the navy was in 1874,
being only S61 40s 81 The largest ex-
pen li'ur. w. ~ 1875, wh' il amounted
to S122, 6l7, 1868, or more than one-ninth
OF the entire amount that has been ex-
pended for 100 years. which has been
S941 ,2SS, 98537. In 1919 the navy was
largely increased, and the amount for
it's support was increased from $500, 900,
its average before that date, to 81, $780,
900, and it mpintained about that aver
age until the war of 1872 with Great
Britain, when it was raised to 81, 900, 0o0
aud SS,000,000. Afterward it was re-
duced again, and the average annual ex-
penditure was kept at about 100000
until 1885, when when it was increased
about $780, 900 per year until 1847,
when it went up t. between 1000, 600
and $4,000 coo. There was gradual
increase after that year until 1859, when
it was increased to Sl4, 000, GOO, and the

DAIRY ITEMS.

Forty thousand pounds OF oleomargarine
"butter'' is reported to be daily bought and
consumed in New York City.
Cheese, if properly made, improves in fla
vor up to a certain age. Butter does not.
Nevertheless, butter properly made, and
kept at a low temperature, where there are
no foul odors, retains its sweetness intact.
The reason that brine instead of water for.
washing butter, is used by the national but
ter association, is because salt will act on:
butterlnilk in the butter, and water will not.
l learned years ago, while repacking and
packing together small lots of butter for
shipping, that when the butter had stood
long enough for the salt to dissolve, the
brine would start freely while packing, and
if it contained any butter milk, the brine
cleaned it all out.
Colonel Littler, secretary of the National
Bptter, Cheese, and Egg Convention, that
met in Chicago last month, estimated the
value of dairy products in the United States
at $500, 0O0, 900. OF butter the production
amounts to 5000, ooo, 900 tps., and of cheese,
300, 900 900 lbs, besides the enormous guam
tity of milk consumed. On the basis of
New York consumption, the egg product
would reach II ,ooo, 900 of barrels, while talk
ing the same basis for our calculations, we
found that $1,000, 600 lbs. of poultry were
marketed in the United States during the
year. The convention, consequently, repre-
scented aggregate interests amounting to
SS4S, 000. 900 annually.

four inches by two apd one half inches
square, all weighed, and done by hand with
wooden ladies or spats. This kind of but
ter should be sailed just enough to prevent
its being insipid too much salt will destroy
the fine delicate flavor so highly priced by
those people who are willing to pay one
dollar a p pound for the best butter. If you
would attain to eminence as butter makers,
all these minute particulars must be care
fully attended to.
One word about heating milk. It is gen
orally admitted that in winter butter is
greatly improved by first scalding the milk,
but it would be deemed an absur,dity by
most people to speak Of scalding milk
through the year to raise cream for butter.
However, it has been done the past year, in
our w dairy, with great success, the milk
being heated to l30 degrees, then csppled to
e5 degrees, by water running under. it. Thu
milk kept longer, and the butter was firm,
hard and sweet, and of a uniform quality all
through the hot season., and would bear
handling and transportation much better
than ever before.

THE MORGAN LINE AND THE ICE MO-
NOPOLY.

Ice continues to advance, and, unless some
thing is done by the public to counteract the
action of the importers, will rule at no late
date at five cents pound, wholesale. The
limited supply in first hands is monopolized,
and ice is now q luxury which the poor may
not enjoy. Mr.. Hutchinson, on the part of the
Morgan line of steamers plying between New
Orleans and New York, a few days since made
a proposition to the ice importers to bring
out ice for them from New York, which would
have the effect of increasing the stock and of
reducing the present exorbitant cost. Mr..
HutchinsOn's proposition was to buy the ice,
load his steamers and sell it at a reasonable
rate to the dealers here.
No agreement, however, could be made.
The ice dealers suggested $40 O. ton, which
proposition was refused by Mr.. Hutchinson,
as he could not tell what the ice would stand
him in, delivered, owing to meltage; but he
then proposed to bring the ice as freight,
charging usual freight rates. The dealers
stated that they expected their vessels, which
had been out some twenty odd days, at any
moment, and in the event of their arrival
would have sufficient quantity in stock to
supply the demand for a time; SO no agree.
ment was arrived at.
Mr.. Hutchinson stated to our reporter that
having freight room he made the proposition
as an experiment, feeling satisfied that the
present rates charged here for ice could be re.
duced materially. He said that another OBJ
lection made was to the ice itself, the dealers
stating that New York ice was inferior In
quality,

During the examination notorious charac-

was placed upon the witness stand. He testified
that cOlored man named Isaac Frazier had
told him that he (Frazier) had thrown the bank
box in the Melpomene canal thus. making it
appear that Frazier bad committed the robbery.
Frazier then took the stand and testified to the
effect that he never told Cain any such thing.
Cain had previously told Capt Manning
that Rodgers had thrown the bank bog into the
canal. and in company with Manning Cain
had fished the box out of the canal.
Manning swore out an affidavit charging Cain
with perjury, and he was sent to the Parish
Prison in default of $1,000 bonds
