The greater part of the butter used in
the cities of Brazil is said to be imported
from France, Germany and Ireland,
principally from the latter place, not
withstanding that thousands of cows
Craze on the vast pan,pas in South
America. The native butter of Brazil is
of an inferior quality, and their dairying
is of the most primitive and unsatisfac-
tory character, yielding product Of q
very inferior sort. The American Dairy
man states that there are four native
modes Of making butter in the Empire
of Brazil. The first is by putting the
milk in . common bowl and beating
it with spoon, rs you would an egg.
The second, by pouring it into bottle
and shaking it till the butter appears,
when it is removed by breaking OF the
top of the bottle, rs bottles are valueless
in that part Of South America on ac-
count of the vast number imported with
foreign fruits and liquids. The third,
where the dairy is more extensive, il
performed by filing q hide. with the
milk, which il Justify shaken BY an
athletic native at each end until butter
il produced. The fourth, indicating vast
progress over and beyond any of the pre-
cedtng methods, consists in dragging
the hide or leathern vessl, filed with
milk, on the ground after galloping
horse, until it h supposed the butter 4
formed. The milk Is never strained and
the butter never washed.

The Denudation Of the sisrras.


1t will be but very short time be-
fore we shall be able to observe the effect
that stripping the pine forests from the
sides and summit of the Sierras will have
on the climate of this state and Califor-
MIA. In few yearsevery accessible tree,
even to such as are only of value as fire.
wood, will be swept from the mountains.
Even now this has been done in some
places. 1t is to be hoped that a new
growth of pines or timber trees of some
kind may spring up on the ground that
has been cleared; but we do not hear
that any such growth has yet started.
Already one great change has occurred
that is evident to the most ordinary OBJ
server, which is the speedy melting
away of the snow on the mountains. 1t
now goes off at once--in food-with
the first warm weather of spring, where
as formerly, being shaded and protected
by the pines and other evergreen trees,
it melted slowly, and all summer sent
down to valleys, on both the eastern and
western slopes of the Sierras, constant
and copious streams of water. Instead
of good stage of water in our streams
throughout summer, as in former times,
there is food in the spring, and when
this is passed by our rivers speedily run
down, and being no longer fed from the
mountains evaporation leaves their beds
allpst dry when the hot weather of sum-
mer comes on.
The mountains being stripped of their
trees there will be nothing to shade the
rocks and earth, and both will absorb a
sufficient amount of heat from the rays
of the sun during the fall, and even till
far into the winter, to melt any light fall
of snow that may occur. The result
will be that our autumn weather will
reach further and further into winter
until at last we shall have no winter
worthy Of the name.
On the California side of the noun
tains the effect will be much the same.
The hot weather of the valleys will ex-
tend over the foothills, and gradually
reach up into the mountains.- Virginia

THE HARRIET LANE.
A Vessel With an Interesting History.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

A Vessel With an Interesting History.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
There is now tied up at the wharf, a
little above Jackson street, three
masted ship, which attracts by the
beauty and symmetry of its appearance.
She looks like vessel which is able to
cut her way through the water with ex-
ceptional speed and grace, and the facts
do not contradict the seemingness. She
is sharp and heightened in build, and
suggests the idea of about sixteen or
seventeen knots an hour in favorable
wind. This vessel is now called the
Richie, and Captain T. w. Hutchinson,
an able and experienced officer, is TT
present, and has been for years, her COM
mander She will probably leave by
the end of next week.
The vessel has got q history which is
entwined with that of the late struggle
between the north and south. She was
built in 1858, and was launched in 1859,
and the name Harriet Lane was con-
ferred upon her. This name was con-
ferred in honor of the niecc of President
Buchanan. She was then revenue cut
ter, side-wheel steamer, and performed
many Offices of honor, among which
may be mentioned the reception of
the Prince of Wales. In 1862
she was captured at Galveston
in an extraordinary way. Approaching
the city, protected by seven guns, she |
was attacked by two small vessels, the
Bayou City and Neptune. Neither craft
had a heavy gun on board, but had bar
ricades of cotton piled high, whence they
sent the deadly rife-ball to the doomed
crew of the Harriet Lane. She respond
ed with her heavy broadsides, and sue
ceeded in sinking the Neptune, (the
wreck of which is yet before Galveston),
but she was finally captured, all hands
being killed save three, who were badly
At Galveston, at the time,
under the orders of General Magruder,
was Colonel Lee. He was a
but had reason to know |
that his son was one of the crew of
the hapless Federal cutter. Obtaining
permission to visit the ship, he found
that his son was among the ill-fated
three. The only consolation, however
he had was to see the son few hours |
die in his arms. Some time
afterward, when Captain Hutchinson had
command of the vessel, Colonel
Lee visited it and cried like child be-
cause of the memories it awakened.
After the capture of the Harriet Lane
the Confederates used her as blockade
runner between Galveston and Havana.
In 1865, when she was in the harbor of
Havana, the Federal Government claim
ed her from the Spanish, and after con-
siderable red-tapeism she was given up.
Afterward she was sold and reconstruct
ed, her boiler being taken out and the
wheels removed. She was then made a
sailing vessel of, and has since been ply
ing in the merchant service, but the old
hull and much of the furniture of the
Harriet Lane being still preserved.
