The "GrainD of Rutter.

When the butter has "come," and APP
pears in little irregular masses, from pins
head to a large pea in size, is the time to
draw off the buttermilk and wash the butter
in the churn. This removes most of the
buttermilk. After being then gathered and
removed from the churn, worked, washed
and settled on the butter-worker at the
proper temperature, we find upon breaking
it, that it has granular look. The mass
seems to be made of little particles with a
slight glistening appearance. This is call
ed the grain" These small particles are
partially kept apart by films of water,
(after sailing, this water becomes brine),
and the peculiar texture thus impaired to
the butter is test of proper manufacture.
Over churn or over work it, churn or work
it at the wrong temperature, and the grain
is gone, never to be restored and with it
is gone large per centage of the selling
value of the butter. Enough water (brine)
must be retained to produce this appear
ance, which distinguishes "butter" from
grease" Consequently the most perfect
grain is obtained by washing the churn be-
fore the butter is gathered.

State Prison thus tells his story: gentle

before you one of the most remarkable cases
we have in prison. We call him the man
who never smiles and | wish before he
comes, to tell you his story. He seems to be
a man of more than ordinary ability, one of
the better class of substantial, frugal Irish
citizens who owned a small place in one of
our manufacturing villages, where he resid-
ed with his family of grown-up sons and
daughters, all permanently employed and in
comfortable circumstances. The old man
had fine garden on which he bestowed his
leisure hours, in part Of which was fine
lot of cabbages. 1t seems that the boys in
the neighborhood had a habit of trespass-
ing on the old mans garden, until he had
determined on getting rid of them by firing
his gun to brighten them away. One night,
hearing some one in his garden, he took
down his gun, and getting behind the
hedge, fired into the garden, us he claims
without aim or seeing any one to aim at
But the report of the gun alarmed the
neighbors, who on rushing into the garden,
found the lifeless body of young girl shot
through the heart. The old man, when told
what he had done, was struck dumb. He
was arrested and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. He has now been here for
ten years, and his face has become as marble;
there is no hope; nothing but the sad re-
membrance of that dreadful night. In Ire.
land they have superstition among the
young girls that who ever on Halloween

door afterwards. And this, it was proved

Cheap Cultivation of Tobacco.

w. E. r., of Franklin, KY, writes to the
Country Gentleman:
AS tobacco is selling at price that will
not pay cost of producing it, it behooves
farmers to commence hunting up some
means to produce the crop cheaper than it
has heretofore been done. To do this ev-
cry part of the labor necessary to make to-
bacco must be lessened as much as possible;
not only this, but we must also make bet
ter article. After setting out tobacco, the
most tedious, tiresome and expensive parts
of the labor are worming and suckering.
If we could arrange some way to avoid
worming and suckering, we would, to that
extent, greatly lessen the cost. If all plan
tiers of tobacco would use solution of CO.
bait in the blossoms of the Jamestown
weed (Datura Stramoniuna), or other flowers
which the moth frequents, it would be an
effective way of destroying the worm. A
few years of general and persistent effort in
this line would annihilate the insect en-
tirely, and thus our tobacco would not only
be lessened in cost, but we would produce
much more valuable article.

The midnight hour was drawing on;

All save the royal palace, where
Was the din of revcl and torches fare.
There high within his royal hall
Belshazzar, the king, held festival.

And drain down gobcts of sparkling wine.
The mobiles shout and the goblets ring;

The checks of the king they flushed with fire,
And still as he drank his conccit grew higher
And, maddened with pride, his lips let fall

With impous hand the king caught up,
Filled to the brim, sacred cup
And down TO the bottom he drained il dry,
And aloud with his mouth afoam did cry
"Jehovah scott at Thy greatness gone!

When the king at his heart felt secret chill.

Consolation.
-"Early, bright, transient,
Chastc as morning dew,
She sparklcd, was eXhaled,
And went to Heaven.

-"Early, bright, transient,
| Chastc as morning dew,
She sparlilcd, was eXhaled,
| And went to Heaven"
What beautiful words! How many of
| us have to mourn the absence of those near
and dear to us, whose brightness "sparkled
and made happy our homes and hearts for
season, and then went to Heaven. To
| those who have never been called upon to
| bow in submission to an all-wise Father,
and give up those bound to them by the
ties of family or friendship, these words
will not find response in the heart; but
oh, how many hearts to-day mourn their
dead and twill not be comforted because
they are not !" And where indeed would
they find comfort in this world What
would this life be were it not for the hope
OF Il reunion with those loved ones
What balm could be found to suothe the
heart Of the sorrow stricken mother, as she
sees the form ofthe darling child she would
almost have died to save, lowered in the
dark and silent tomb, and hears the clods
fall heavily on the cofln-lid? Is there any
thing this life can offer then to assuage
her grief? Can earthly friends give her
any comforts They cannot give her loved
one back to her arms again, nor can they
give her any grounds ofhope for never in
this world can there be any remedy. But
here do the words of the Blessed Book send
comfort and hope, and that sorrowing
mother listens to the words, II am the
Resurrection and the life, and whosoever
believeth on Me though he were dead yet
shall he li0e again." and there is comfort
Her child is not dead, but sleepeth. She
feels that her darling is not lost forever,
and her thought, linger not so much around
the little form mouldering in the church
yard, but she thinks of a lovely being in
that bright upper world, "her star shining
brilliantly there" And she can say:
"Weve little one up yonder
Some where mid the stars.
x y X Il
And the sweetest music floating
DER the valley fair,
Is the prattle of the darlings
That have wandered there,
And the cherubs nee forgetting
Those who lonely stay,
Call to them across the distance
Fondy day by day"
Thus our blessed Religion points the
mourner to the skies for consolation, and
even were it no other benefit to mankind,
| it is a blessed boon to those who mourn de-
parted loved ones; for without the hope
| it affords us we should, of all beings, be
most wretched. Let us never cease to be
thankful for the blessings of Religion.

"A farmer in Butler county, California,
shot wild goose two years ago. In the

was neither wheat nor rye, but most like
rye, only the grain was more than twice
the usual size and weight. He has now
several bushels OF the grain, grown on his
farm. His neighbors are 30 pleased that
all adopt it for regular culture. 1t yields
very largely. Wheat, as we mill it, is hard

A Proposed Amendment.

Washington, June 8. AEdmunds, on
behalf Of the Senate Judiciary COM
mittee, to-day submitted an amend
ment to the officers at the proper time,
with the recommendation of that COM
mittee, as an additional section to the
House bill, which appropriates 500, 900
for the expenses of the Potter investi-
eating committee. The new section
proposes to appropriate $4,000 to be
placed to the credit of the contingent
fund of the Senate to be applied towards
defraying the expenses of such
Investigations and inquiries as
have been already, or may hereafter, be
directed by the Senate during the peri
od Of the Forty-fifth Congress.
The proposed amendment was refer
red under the rules to the committee
on Appropriations, before whom the
House bill is now pending.

THE ELEMENTS.

Further Particulars of the Great Cyclone
in Missouri on Saturday. as
st. Louis, June additional spec
ials from Richmond, Mo-, say: The
cyclone Saturday was the color of
steam at times, funnel shaped. The
cloud would break or open in places,
emit what appeared like black smoke,
then gather together again and with
increased force continue on the march
of destruction. At first it approached
slowly, not faster perhaps than a man
could walk, then moved faster leveling
everything in its path, producing almost
complete devastation. The sound pro-
duced was internal, resembling that Of
a great cataract. Debris of the city
has been found fourteen miles away.
A perfect panic prevailed for time,
but order and comparative calm was
soon restored and the killed and wound
ed provided for. The unframed houses
of citizens were thrown open for the
reception of the homeless sufferers and
every attention possible given to them.
The funeral of several Of the vic Tins
took place this morning. The remains
of Capt. Jacobs were found this MORN
ing buried in the ruins. Judge Dom
aldson, who was reported wounded, last
night, is dead; making, so far, fifteen
deaths. The death of several others is
momentarily expected. At least forty
persons are seriously or mortally in
jured.

that force will be needed to quiet them.

as possible be sent to protect the set
tiers from Bannock Indians. The news
from the north is considered as very

carried out at once by the agent, and
thus the main cause of Indian dissatis
faction be obyiated. Quick work in
this direction will, 1 think, save life

COMMENTS OF GENERAL SHERMAN.
In approving the verdict of acquittal
given by the court General Sherman
Says
The proceedings and findings of the
general court martial in the foregoing
case of Colonel and Brevet Major Gen
eral A v. Kauiz are approved. Colo
mel Knutz stands acquitted and will re-
sumo command of his regiment.
The somewhat indefinite findings of
the court give proper occasion for the
General to announce certain great
principles of military government
which concern the honor and dignity
of the army, if not OF the nation, and
which this important trial may leave
somewhat obscured. Obedience to
and respect for the lawful decisions of
the constituted authorities, from the
highest to the lowest, is not only a duty
enforced by penalties, but should be
the cause OF pride to every officer and
soldier in the army. When such de-
cisions are made and announced by the
proper officials a cheerful obedience is
all that is left in the officer, and the
higher his rank and office the more i'm
portant the example. This is not the
obedience of the slave, but Of the knight
true TO his sovereign-in our case-the
law. fi
The progress of the world and of sci
ence may introduce into practice new
methods, which will in due time solve
wisely and satisfactorily every ques-
tion, such as arose in this case-viz ::
as to the legality of acts done by de-
partment commander, outside the limits
of his territory, by means of the tele-
graph; but meantime the decision of
the Executive on this and all kindred
subjects must be accepted as binding
in law and in honor. Any discussion

A CHICAGO Times reporter hunted
up Gen. Sherman to sound him on the
action Of the House in reducing the
army to twenty thousand men. The
general, in reply to a question, said
that he didn't know what could be done
with such a skeleton of an army; even
now it is not half as large as it should
be, and the discharge of six or seven
regiments and about one hundred Off
GERS would not improve its efficiency.
He said it was to@be expected, too, that
in carrying out the reduction the
good officers and the best soldiers
would be cut off, and the debris retained
in the service.
