4 TOO "LIBERAL" SOCIETY.

The anti-religious sentiments
which have made such Roadway
among tho masses. Of late years
have led to the organization, in the
large cities, Of . great many "Idb'
er,ln societies. These societies
meet every Sunday. the ossensible
purpose Of such meetings being the
mutual Improvement Of the mem
hers. and visitors more or less dis.
upguished are invited to address
them, Were those Invitations limi
tod to deserving persons, all would
be we'll, and some good might re-
suit from the lectures. Unfortu-
nately, the contrary is more ire
ouently the case; for no humbug
or charlatan hardly ever comes
alopp-whether clothed In the garb
OF spiritualism or wrapped in the
cloak Of phxenology, for the purpose
of psaeticing medicine in defiance OF
the laws OF the State-but readily
finds his or her way to the rostrum
Of the local Liberal Society, thus
obtaining significant amount OF
free advertising, and the indorse-
ment Of the organization as we'll.
This brings the society into disre-
pute, and their influence for good,
limited enough at the outset, IL
finally lost altogether. There Is
society ofthis kind In existence not
. thousand miles from this city,
which originally included among
III members some OF the foremost
members Of the community. but
which, owing to tho introduction Of
Questionable speakers, has fallen into
such disreputs that a respectable
person would hardly dare attend its
meetings, and unless greater care is
exercised in the selection Of speak
ers, an indignant public sentiment
will soon compel it TO disnember-
mont. Az few conscientious per
sOns are still connected with tho Or
aanizstion referred to, it IS to be
hoped that they will wee to IL that the
designing members who have
brought II to the verge of ruin con-
troll it no longer.

The Double Suicide Out In Iowa.

1t was Enthusiastically proved this
evening that the tragedy last night,
by which Henry c. Watt and his
wife's sister ended their lives, was a
premeditated suicide. 1t came out
that letter had been found 10 Watts
pocket addressed to his wife, and
that ir this letter he told the whole
story of the deed and the cause for
it. 1t was intended by the physi-
clans to hold post mortem, but this
the wife forbid after reading the let
ter, as there could be no doubt of the
nature of the deed. The fact is es-
tablished that Harry G. Watt and
Louisa Filter had loved each other
unwisely and illicitly, and they had
determined to end their troubles
mutually with their lives. Prussic
acid was the agent used, Watt pre-
pairing the dose for Louisa and then
for himself. A bottle containing the
acid was found in the room.-Daven-

THE NEW CONSTITUTION AND
THEMlNERS,

The last number at hand Of the
San Francisco State, the new paper
edited by Harry George, the former
editor OF tho Post, contains q we'll.
written article on the new constitu.
ton, from which we make the FOL.
lowing extract:
The question IL frequently asked,
uWhy are the leading miners OF the
State opposed to the new Constitu-
ton, and how does 1t affect their
intsreatf"' 1t has been . matter OF
surprise to rational advocates OF the
new Constitution (there are q few
such) that prominent mining men,
having no connection with stock in
vestment and manipulation, should
20 unanimously and % bitterly OPP
pose the now order Of things, and
lend the powerful weight OF their in
fiuence to It's defeat. We have seen,
In Ncvada and Amador counties, the
leading mine.0wners uniting with
out regard TO politics or community
Of interest in condemnation Of the
new Constitution, ON the common
ground Of its hostility to their bust
ness.
The objections Ia the now ("nsti
tuition, from . mining standpoint,
arc twofOid. First-it discriminates
against the mine owner and stock
holder by ssnctioning multiplicity
of taxation; and second-it hampers
and practically roysco-nperatio'l
in mining enterprises, by burde"ine
trustees of corporations with an un
just pscunisry responsibility.

SoMoNAUK, H., July 81, 1S19.-The excite
ment here for several days was caused by the
trial of the liquor suit. Mrs Robert Boyles
sued r. G. Hanson, saloon keeper, claiming
damages tor injury TO her means OF support,
caused by Hanson selling liquor to Mr., Boyes,
as | wrote in another letter Six days were
fooled away before the parties got Il verdict.
Every inch of ground was holly pressed and
as warmly defended. Over 90 witnesses were
sworn for the plaintiff. The docket of Esq.
Goodeil, showing records of a former judy.
ment tor the same cause of action in favor of
the plaintiff and against another saloonist, VIM,
korkhaus, constituted the entire evidence of
the defendant. The defence proposed to sub
NIT the case to the jury without argument, but
the attorneys for the plaintiff would not do it.
Mr.. Lewis spoke about two hours, and ,nree
hours more were taken up by the Temperance
lectures Of the three other attorneys. l.. 5.
Seaman, of Mendoza, one of the attorneys for
the prosecution, acquitted himself wclh Loosh'

villc is ayoung man of excellent habits, makes
a fine appearance, ana will yet make his mark
The case commenced in the livery barn. as the
board OF trustees refused to allow Esq. GOOdell
the use of the village hall at the calaboose for
the purpose, although other suits for years
were nearly always held there. Afterwards
the case was tried in Hanson's hall, over the de-
PENDANTS saloon. The court room was con
tnually packed. A delegation of ladies con
stantly attended. 1t was extreme cruelty to
require the plaintiff to attend trial ard testify
owing to her trail condition and suffering.
The jury decided the case in few minutes
after it was SUBMITTED to them; their verdict
was no cause of action The village was
divided. Everybody took sides The contest
was personal one with each individual. Bit
ter animosities, angry examinations and ex-
IRENE jealousies were the prevailing order of
the day Esq GOodell got h for deciding
points of law for defendant Montgomery was
assailed for wearing a red ribbon, and then

Butter is one of the most difficult articles of
food to keep sweet and in an eatable condition
If We are to judge from the quantity Of poor
butter that is annually eaten, there are but few
persons who understand how 10 make good
article, or knowing how do not possess the re.
quisite means necessary to produce it, The
secret of keeping butter sweet for cOnsidera
Die time Is to make a first rate article and then
to keep it from absorbing OdOrS from surround.
ing objects. 1t is strong absorbent and its
"seHse OF SMELL Is very acute. In summer
good pastures should be provided with rich
and succulent grasses and plenty of pure
water If the pasture is scant and grown up
with weeds, the butter will often have bitter
taste, caused by the COWS feeding on weeds
Impure water will also affect the quality
While the i'll effects may not be perceptible In
freshly made butter 1t Is sure to show itself
after the butter has attained age The utensils
used in the dairy must be scrupHLOltsly clean
and the atmosphere of the milk-room free from
impurities. Having satisfied yourself that you
have good article OF butter, on the too OF
which put damp cloth and cover with an
inch of salt, When you have another churn
ing ready, remove the salt and CLOTH put in
your butter and replace the cloth and salt The
butter should be packed solid, as the air is
much easier excluded than when in rolls
Continue the above process until the jar is
filled within an inch or two of the top, put on
the cloth and fill with salt. Take box larger
and four inches deeper than the jar, In the
bottom of which place two inches of salt, sci
in the jar and fill up all around the sides and
over the top OF the jar with salt and set the
whole in cool place TO remain until wanted
Butter put up IN this way will keep sweet d
long time and cannot readily be told from
freshly made butter.-JOuradl IF agriculture

Peter Henderson. the veteran gardener,
made very significant statement during the
course of his remarks here before the Conven.
ton OF Nurserymen and Florists. This state
ment embodies the remarkable fact that il
garden seeds, when planted in the spring, are
Errly pressed when under earth by the ball of
the foot at the time the gardeners are putting
them in the ground, they will invariably grow,
drought or no drought; and, what is still more
important, they will spring up earlier and grow
faster, and mature better than any of their kind
which have not been subjected to tins discip.
line. The same rule of pressure, he says, holds
true in regard to transplanting trees, shrubs
and plants. Henderson said that though he
