laid down his cigar and told us about Il
fast horse he once owned in Virginia City.

The fame of the Quaker butter, for which
Philadelphia is famous. and which sells ut
81 and over per pound, owes its character
to the observance OF a few simple rules.
The milk should be kept at or below a Ger
tain temperature, say 30 degrees; the cream
to be removed at just the right time, when
the milk first turns sour; the cream to be
kept at an even temperature, not above 60
degrees, until clurned; the butter to lie
worked with great care and kept at tenn
pelature below 60 degrees, until sent to
market. The atmosphere of the milk-room
must be absolutely pure. and the COWS well
kept, and in Il clearly condition.

Sable sheep.

There is no profit in black wool and it
brings five cents per pound less in the
market than white. Som" years since,
when every rural household contained a
spinning-wheel and loom, upon which the
matron spun out the material with which
the family was clothed, black wool was in
demand and filled an important mich in the
domestic economy. Now the great fac
tories monopolZe that business, and are
able 10 furnish the people with yarn and
cloth better and cheaper than it can be
made at home. To-day there probably is not

The inevitable conclusion is that the
of the lamb does not arise from
any distinctive characteristic in the blood.

mind of the mother. She looked upon the

Sitting Bull as = show.

1t has come at last. Sitting Bull, as q
prominent slaughterer at large, has un-
doubtedly been neglected, for he has never
been invited to take the lecture platform; ;
but virtue is its own reward, and the fero-
cious chief is now in demand by gentle
man who wishes to make him the lending
feature of travelling show. There can be
no doubt that Sitting Bull would succeed
as q popular attraction if he could draw
audiences as steadily as he drew rations
and raise the hair of his hearers as effect
lively as he raised that of scores of his ene-
mics. Another point in his favor is that he
has been out of the country for many
months, and the almost worshipful regard
which certain portion of the community
manifest toward any prominent native who
has been abroad is too we'll known to re-
quire explanation. To be faithful to ma
ture, however, the manager should intro
duce a few typical scenes of border life,
and among them should be occasional
shootings, scalpings and tortures. Under
ordinary circumstances the public might
object to this sort OF thing, but if the vic
Tins were selected from the plethoric ranks
Of dishonest contractors for Indian sup
plies and from miners who invade the res
ervations it is not improbable that the per-
formance would be relished with unmixed
delight by the most worthy members Of So

The active revival of the project of Civ
ing Cabinet officers seats in Congress, where
they would be obliged to respond to inter-
rogatories concerning the conduct of the
executive departments, is entirely in the
spirit of the passages of the Presi dents
Message touching civil service reform, al
though it is not one of his specific recon-
endatYons. 1t gives us pleasure to
learn that Senator Pendleton intends
to press his bill for this purpose to de-
bate. and to adoption, if possible. This is
thoroughly practical measure, easy to put
in force, and Immediately fruitful of stabil-
ity and political independence in all the
bureaus OF every executive department. A
secretary liable to be summoned to answer
publicly at any moment concerning busi-
ness in his charge could not afford to re-
gard any consideration in his subordinate
appointments superior to the approved test
of "honesty. capacity and fidelity" regard
less of political affiliations.

What Poets Shall We Soon Have
Lett

The recent celebrations of the SEVENTEEN
birthdays of Longiellow and Whittier were
ominous of the speedy disappearance of
the bright constellation OF New England
poets, and o similar celebration in the case
OF DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes tomorrow is
another reminder that the time of its dis
persion is close at hand. Emerson, the
senior of all, is we'll advanced in his
seventy-seventh year, and Lowell, the
junior, in his sixty-frst. Who will replace
their lights when they soon. flicker out2
We see no signs of another poetical illu-
mination in New England. Boston, in its
literary relation to New York, is repeating
the experience of Edinburgh toward Lon
don. Capitalization into q metropolitan
focus is the irresistible tendency of intel
lect and taste in literature and art, no less
than of wealth, in every modern nation.
In the activities of this great city the poets
who will rival those we have named must
find the suggestions and themes for their
songs, or if they seek them among rural
influences the suburbs of New York will
include the places of their resort.
Meanwhile let us stint no honors to the
most mellifuous Of these New Englanders,
the poet who of all in the English tongue
best deserves association with Tom Moore,
aud who, like Moore, preserves his fresh
ness to the last. Though IL is well nigh
half century since DR.. Holmes wrote his
charming stanzas to Clemence. la grisette,
yet they are not out of keeping with the
sweet and tender vein of the verses Of his
old age Time deals gently with the
lyric poets of all nations, especially
of the people in their songs, and

Weather Representations.

Seven days ago we notified people in
England that they might expect, within a
period stated in the message, that extremely
severe storm the arrival of which, .'as per
advice by cable" was reported yesterday.
That prediction, therefore, was verified, and
that storm followed close upon the heels of
another which we had announced much
longer period in advance of its appearance,
and now still another, also predicted by US,
and which started as o separate depression,
has, perhaps, gone so close upon the heels Of
its predecessor that Il may figure as mere
continuation of it. If our announcements
of this nature made in England are practi-
cally attended to they must certainly prove
of great value to people in their ordinary
social concerns and in commercial affairs.
Take, for instance, the storm which ragged
yesterday and the day before. and which
has proved serious impediment to
railway traffic. Those most concerned to
know of this storm were informed of Its pos
sible arrival FIVE days in advance, and could
in that period have SO pushed their traffic
that the eventual interruption would have
caused them little if any loss. What could
people in this country not have afforded to
give for previous information Of such an
impediment to business as resulted from
the great snow blockade of last winter?
Apparently the persons interested in the
coming Of the storms of which we send no.
tice do study our dispatches closely and
act upon them. We judge this from fact
cited by writer in. the Quarterly Revieac.
That writer had heard of 'sone" fisherman
who made good day by venturing out in
defiance of prediction, the storm on that
sone" occasion not coming to time or not
coming at all But he could apparently
only find one; for if there had been more
he would have put them all in. All the
other fishermen know very well what they
are about in needing fair notice.

THE WEATHER.-Thc centre of low barometer
referred to yesterday moving slowly east-
ward from the Northwest is now over the lower
lake and st. Lawrence Valley districts. An
other centre has advanced to the Central
Mississippi and Lower Missouri valleys, but the
pressure within it is only relatively low. The
barometer is highest over the South and Middle
Atlantic States. 1T is rising in the Northwest
80 that the zone of low pressure is very well de-
fined from the Rocky Mountains to Nova Scotia
Light snow is reported in the lake regions and
rains on the South Atlantic coast. Elsewhere
the weather was fair. The temperature rose in
the central valleys, lake regions and the Middle
Atlantic States and fell in the Northwest. The
winds have been brisk on the New England
coast and in the Middle Atlantic and lower lake
districts, fresh in the central valleys and light
elsewhere. The weather over the British Islands
continues stormy. The weather in New York
and its vicinity today will be warmer and fair
Tomorrow the same conditions will prevail.
