Something Remarkable.

Some two years ago physician in
Secretary Evart's favorite village of
Windsor,..Vt., was called to visit pa
tient living some miles out of the village.
He drove out, and as he was hitching
his horse the door opened and young
woman with child in her arms came
out. They greeted each other, and she
said, "Oh, you are the doctor, come to
see grandmother. She's pretty sick.
You'll find her in the house" He went
in and found woman about forty, who
said, "Oh, you are the doctor. You
will find grandmother in that way" In
the room to which he was directed he
found an aged, white-haired lady lying
on the bed, with her face the other way.
She was quite deaf, and did not notice
his approach until he sat down and be-
gan to feel her pulse. She turned and
said, ooh, you are the doctor. Pm not
sick. 1t is mother you want to see. You
will find her in that room" So into the
next room he passed, and at last was in
the presence of his patient, whose daugh-
tel, granddaughter, great-grandda daughter
and great great granddaughter he had
encountered. He found her 30 reduced by
old age (she was ninety-seven) that he
saw no chance of her living more than q
week. He told the family 80, but at
their request he left medicines and di-
rections. Some three weeks after he was
driving by and saw an old lady picking
NY chips. He pulled up his horse, in
tended to ask when his patient had died,
when SIZE looked up and said, "Oh, you
are tie doctor who came to see noe when
I was sick" She is still living, as
" clipper" an old lady Of nineCy-nine as
YOU will often see.

BUTTER.
The Article With Very Small Per-
centage of Salt.

The Article With a Very Small Per-
oentage of Salt.
From the New York Times.
The liking for butter that contains a
very small percentage of salt is taste
that is rapidly growing in this country.
and one which dairymen would do well
to cater to. Oh course, as butter of this
description will not bear long keeping,
it must of necessity command higher
price than that which can be held to
meet the demand of the market. On
this account It's manufacture will be re-
stricted to diaries that are situated
within relatively short distance of GER
tain great centres Of consumption. In
this city the demand for this species of
butter due, doubtless, to our great Ger
man and French population, is very
great, but as mentioned shove, the lik-
ing for this article is rapidly growing
among those with whom the taste is not
an inherited one. Indeed, it only needs
short soiourn in an inland town or on
farm in this country to become aware
of the strong liking that exists Tor but
ter of an exceedingly salt variety. There
may not be the least difficulty in obtain
ing butter that is fresh as regards time,
but the landlady of village boarding
house, or the wife of farmer, cannot
understand the liking that her guests
have for what to her is an exceedingly
insipid article of food. Another cir
cumstance that must add to the cost of
butter with which little OF 10 salt is
worked, IS the fact that much greater
degree of care is required in its making.
Salt, when plentifully used, is a notorl.
GUS disguiser of imperfections, while, on
the other hand, impurities can be de-
tected in strictly unsalted butter that
are not apparent in the milk. For this
reason the utmost cleanliness in the man
ufacture is necessary, and though what
is known as naturally cold hand for
touching butter is often spoken of as
highly desirable, it is much better to
have it made in such a manner that d.
rect contact with the hand is unneces-
sary. 4 device, which seems to have
originated in Holster, has recently been
introduced into one or two of the fancy
dairies in the State of Massachusetts.
This is rspidly-rotating separator, built
upon the principle of a centrifugal ma
chine in sugar refinery. The fresh
milk is poured into this, and by its rapid
revolutions the cream is in minute or
two separated from the thin milk; presses
are then used which squeeze out all the
Tactic acid that is to be found in the
buttermilk. By this process unsalted
butter can be made which will, by care
full keeping, retain its good qualities for
some little time. No doubt, as the de-
mand increases, facilities for meeting it
will be found and applied, as Americans
are never backward in adapting means
to ends; but under the most favorable
conditions, butter of this kind will COM
mand a price fully so per cent. higher
than that demanded for ordinary grades.

and per9uisites. Treasurer Renfroe was
also arraigned for impeachment, and the
most glsrlng corruption proved against
him, but he escaped dismissal from Office
through the abandonment of the case by
the legislature, on account of the great
excitement prevailing.
! Capt. Nelms, chief keeper of the peni-
tentia4y was investigated and shown to
have been guilty of gross mslfeasance in
office, but he escaped punishment from
the same cause that saved Renfroe. One
Murphy, a state official, was shown to
have been hribed to secure the signing
and issue OF certain state bonds to cor
poratton contrary to the law in the case.
The investigation showed an amount
of corruption which has had few if any
parallels in official quarters outside Of
the city of New York; yet all these men
are Democrats, and were elected because
of their professions of virtue, and to
remedy the evils alleged to have been
suffered by the state through negro and
carpet. bag rulel The worst carpet-bag
and negro administration, however, that
ever had an existence never exceeded,
If it ever equaled, the corruptions of
these professed reformers and "home-
rulers"
Senator Ben Hill ia credited with set
ting the investigation on foot that result
ed SO dlsastrously to these reformers,"
not 80 mach because of his love of Of
fetal honesty rs because of his hatred of
Gov. Colquitt and his friends, who were
mixed up more or less in the scandalous

is division of the Democratic
party into two bitterly hostile
tsctions--the friends of Hill and the
friends of the state otficers,--who vow
vengeance upon each other. The Re-
publicans meanwhile stand back and
enjoy the exposures and the quarrel.
The result of all ;nls may be tine SUCCESS
in the next election Of an independent
organization, embracing the Republicans
and certain Of the Democrats.
Thus much space is given to this mat
ter TO show how utterly hollow WAS the
greater part of the clamor of the Democ-
racy against the carpet bag governments,
and how far short the Democratic party
south has fallen of its professions. The
Democratic home.rule administration of
Louisiana has proved a woeful failure,
as even Democrats admit; while those
of Mississippi and South Caro-
lima have proved little more than
the protectors of the political
assassins and scoundrels who have prac-
tically destroyed everything like political
equality and liberation, and rendered
the lives and property of all who oppose
them wholly insecure. Time is n great
unmasker, and it il steadily showing the
people of the United States the true
character of the Democratic party as an
organization. 1t is not too much to
hope, therefore, that the time will come
when the political aspect OF the south
shall be radically changed and improved.

Gen. Hooker and the Michigan Man

0eu. dOOker ana Cn6 michigan NAN.
The following story is told By the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. 1t does not in the
least detract from the anecdote to know
that exactly the same yarn went the
rounds a year ago with the Duke of Wei
lington in Gen. Hookers place. Still,
the story is all right excepting the triv-
ial fact that the deserter was an Ohio
man, and he was recently elected to an
honorable position in the state. Here
is the story:
| served on Gen. Hooker's staff for
nearly year, and on one occasion was
assigned to duty as Judge advocate of a
general court martial before which a
private soldier of Michigan regiment
aas brought, charged with desertion.
The evidence showed that the prisoner
had deserted three times, on the last
occasion in the face of the enemy"
The court-martial sentenced him to be
shot, and the record of his trial and con-
viction was forwarded to Gen. Hooker
for his approval A short time subse-
quently Gen. Hooker came to my quar-
tiers, which adjoined his own, and said !;
DOuu, III tulS Case dSdlunt iiNdtS -,
what do you think had better be done9
Are there no extenuating circum-
stances?"
None that / know of, General. He
has deserted three times.
Isn't there something in the case
upon which you could base recon-
mendation of mercy9"
"Not thing. The proof against him
was positive and not denied, and the
witnesses say further that when he waf
with his regiment he was worthless
fellow and constitutional coward. F."
'Ihat's just the thing" said the Cen
eral positively. "The man is cousti-
tutionally a coward. and you recon-
mended him to mercy on the ground.
Tll tell you whats the matter Bond-his
mother is at my quarters begging for her
sons life, and / want to spare him. "
In accordance to this suggestion the
recommendation for leniency was writ.
ten, and few minutes thereafter fee
bic old lady with silver-gray hair and a
fearful face was bowed out of the Gen
erals door by the brave old hero, and
turning away she exclaimed, with uplift-
ed hands: "God bless you, General
Hooker"

An Awful SQUIRREL Story.

Jesse Hufie, while out hunting, shot at
squirrel in tree, but the squirrel
remained stationary. he repeated the
firing three time in succession, thinking
that his gun had goGe back on him until
the last of the three shots fired, when to
his surprise down tumbled four squirrels
all joined together. After the three
were shot they pulled the other of, he
not being able to hold them up. They
were joined together by a narrow strip,
so that one could not move without the
other, and had been born that way ana
were full grown.-Brtdgeport Conn. }

An Outrage Contemplated in Maine

A Characteristic plot for securing
continuance of the power of the Demo
cratic state officials in Maine has Just
been developed, but whatever may be its
immediate result it will sooner or later
recoil with crushing effect upon the party
in the interest of which it has been con
cocted. The recent election for governor
in Maine resulted as follows:
Davis n.,.................,.....68 , 463
Smith, $40
Garcelon, Democrat. ,.....................Zl,l 76
Bradbury, Democrat. and scattering. 81
The state constitution requiring
majority to elect, there was no choice
by the people, for although the kepub-
lican candidate had very large plural
ity, he lacked 535 Of q majority over all
opponents. In such cases the constitu
ton provides that the lower house of the
legislature shall send to the senate two
names from the four highest of the can
didates voted for, one of which shall be
elected governor. AS at the last election
the Republicans elected 10 senators to
the Democrats and Greenbackers IL, and
81 representatives to so by the opposition
they very properly counted on being
able to place their candidate il
the gubernatorisl chair. But Just here
appears the conspiracy to Cheat then
