But the young clergyman who came
down late to breakfast one morning at
the Hague, and looking in despair at the
empty tables, began to order the waiter

He used up his entire French vucabti-

the remark, "Don't you speak English,
sir?'' An incipient linguist never ut

Butter Making.

The attention of farmers and dairy
men is particularly called to the notices
of the Gilt-Edge Butter Maker" Which
are appearing in this paper FROM thine
to time. 1t Is confidently clafmed.that
the use of this preparation increases the
amount of butter from six to ten per
cent; that the flavor is better and
beautiful color secured; that the time
consumed in churning is greatly short
ened, and that the keeping qualities are
much improved-the natural conse-
quence of all which being that butter
made by it is always in demand at a
handsome advance on the price of the
ordinary article. Judging from the tes-
timonials given, these claims are not
extravaganza, and the ''Gilt-Edge y
should prove n valuable acquisition to
every butter maker.

PERU is apparently at the mercy of
an invading foe. On Sunday, Nov. 2,
the Gillian army, $4,000 strong, landed
at Pisagua under the protection of the
guns of their fleet, consisting of 16 YES
sells, which easily silenced the weak bat
teries on shore. The Bolivian forces,
which garrisoned the town, made as
strong resistance as possible, but were
forced to retreat southwark towards
1quique, where they effected a junction
with the Peruvians, the allied forces
numbering, as estimated, about 5000
men. At last accounts the invaders,
flushed with victory, had occupied
Iquique, the enemy falling back without
risking decisive battle.

For some time past Chinese aromatic
smoke-rods have been used for perfum-

sticks, which are easily Findled, and
burn slowly with a bright glow, leaving
ruddy ash behind and diffusing pleas

which the bitter principle has been boil

These grounds are kneaded into Il soft

CURRENT TOPICS,

In a dispatch from Los Pinos, 2Sth,
Gen. Hatch, Commissioner, says: All
investigation was stopped this morning
by runner from the White River Utes,
who stated that runners from Uintah
Utes report that troops were moving to
Uintah Agency to make prisoners, and
that the Uintahs had left for the camp
of the White River Utcs, and that
all now refused to come ia I'M
til assured that this is hot true. The
Indians have been informed by us that
this report is false, and that troops are
instructed not to advance during pres
ent negotiations. An advance of the
troops would close any further business
here. Ouray thinks the story is an in
vcntion of the Mormon element, who
are doing all in their power to create
serious trouble. This will delay the
Commission six days, until the White
River runners return from the Uintah
Agency.

The total tonnage of vessels of the United

tion of public policy whether the period has
not arrived when the unlimited right of pur-
chase. as under the English statutes, should be
extended to vessels as well as to other COM
motlitics, and when admission to American
registry upon the payment of duties should be
allowed them upon importations. The recov-
cry of our old position in the carrying trade
will more than counterbalance any disadyail-
