THERE is now an earnest effort being
made on the part of a very large body of
our most active and energetic business
men to have the county Courts moved to
this city. Among these gentlemen are
most OF the lawyers, real estate men,
and the large property holders. They
argue that the change is in the interest of
economy that the saving to the county,
reasoning flom the data furnished by the
late and present States Attorney, would
be almost, if not quite enough, to pay the
interest on the cost OF the new buildings.
The cost of the necessary buildings for
the Court House and county offices, they
argue, should not exceed 100000. They
arrive at this conclusion by comparing
the prices of labor and material now,
with labor and material when the Clay
ton House, Of this city, was built. They
allege that tire-proof building large
enough, with all the modern conyeniencts
necessary, eau be erected, with a tenn
porary prison attached for the sum
named. In proof Of it they also point
to the county buildings of Chester
county, in West Chester, which cost
S4o,0O0 and the Court House in Kent
county which cost $1,000. Both of
which they say could now be built for
Is to 20 per cent. cheaper than when
they were erected. They insist that
bonds can be sold for a per cent. and
that the opportunity is a better one than
will again be presented to secure good
buildings at low cost than will occur
again.
The most Of the members of the
Legislature, from this county, have
their faces set like flint against saddlinp
the county with another dollar of ex.
pense, and not pass bill unless they are
assured that no tax will fall upon the
landed interest, and they will only be
induced to yield by the best assurances
that there will be saving to the county
through the reduction of expenses by the
removal OF the courts to this city. The
lower county members leave the matter
pretty much altogether with the New
Castle county members. We have
thrown together these matters of news
and suggestions that our readers in all
parts of the county may know and un.
derstand the propositions in regard to
this matter that is being agitated. There
Is decided opposition to the expendi.

The LAW by which the Levy Court is
smpow wered to use the money of the tax
payers to pay for suits before magistrates
and the costs of arrests to constables,
ought to be abolished by the Legislature.
There is a constant complaint about it ;
and il is frequently charged that fewer
suits would arise and fewer still enter
tanned by Justices Of the Peace if they
had to look to the parties to the suite for
the costs.

Skating Army.

The corps of skaters, a force peculiar to the
Norwegian army, has lately been reorgani'
zed, and consists now of five companies each
of 10 men, which in time of war Can be re-
inforced by calling in 270 skaters belonging
to the Landwher. The men of the corps are
ar cd with rifles, and can be manoeuvred up
on ice or over the snow fields of the noun
tains with rapidity equal to that of the best
trained cavalry. The skates they use are ad-
mirably adapted for travelling over rough and
broken ice or frozen snow, being six inches
broad and between nine and ten inches long.
in ascending steep lopes the men take a zig
zag course, tacking up the mountain side as
ship does against head wind. AS an in
stance of the speed at which they can 20, it
is mentioned that last winter messenger de-
spatched from Roeraas at three O'Clock in the
morning arrived at Drontheim at half-past
nine in the evening of the same day, having
consequently accomplished 1870 miles in eight
cen and one-half hours 1t must be added,
however, that Roeraas lies some 1900 feet
higher than Dronthiem. so that the course of
the skater was down hill tie whole way. On
the return journey the same man took fifty
four hours to reach Roeraas from Dronthiem,
but the route he took led him over very
rough and broken snow fields, which render
ed great caution and slow skating necessary.

Wheat In Minnesota.

ger of Minnesotian.
''Raise wheat! Who raises wheat2 No,
sir decidedly no, sir. 1t raises itself. Why,
if we undertook to cultivate wheat in that
State it would run US out. There wouldn't
be any place to put our house.
''But I've been told that grasshoppers take
q good deal of it.
''Of course they do. If they didn't don't
know what we would do. The cussed stuff
would run all over the State and drive US out
choke us up. Those grasshoppers are a
godsend, only there amt half enough of 'em. y
is that wheat nice and plump?"
''Plump! Well, don't know what you
call plump wheat, but there are II in our
family, including 10 servants, and when we
want bread we just 60 out and fetch in ker-
mel of wheat and bake it."
''Do you ever soak it in water frst?''
ooh, no; that wouldn't do. 1t would swell
little and then we couldn't get it in our
range oven.

Ruttef-GOOd ana Bad.
New York Times.1


The quality of bad butter made in this
country Is surprising, not in the West and
South only, where the farmers and planters
do not understand and do not care to learn
the art of making it, but in the Middle States
and even in New England, where it is better
made than anywhere Else. The chief trouble
is ignorance as to the methods of working
butter. Comparatively few work out the
buttermilk, and conse equently the butter how
ever sweet at first, Will not keep. A great
many people, fortunately for their palates1
have no idea what good butter is, being total
Iy incapable of telling good butter from bad.
Even in great cities, as New York Boston,
Chicago, and Cincinnati, good butter can
not be had except at what is called fancy
price. Here for example, many families are
obliged to pay fifty cents per pound, during
spring and summer, one dollar pound during
autumn and winter, for prime butter. Phil
adelphia butter, as it is called, commands
from seventy-ive cents to one dollar the year
round. The frst-class hotels and restaurants
always have excellent butter-they are
obliged to have it, but the moment you leave
them the butter is precarious, even suspici-
Gus. Indeed, you very rarely get it. Not
nearly enough good butter is made to supply
the demands of ordinary rates.
You must pay double price to secure it. 1t
is nearly as easy to make good as it is to
make poor butter; but farmers have not yet
found it out. If competent persons would
go through the country instructing others
how to make butter, it would be IN impor-
tant and BENEVOLENT work. What the quality
of butter was in ancient times is unknown.
Many people think it modern article of
food, but it seems to have been used largely
by the ancient Hebrews The earliest dis
tinct mention of it is by Herodotus, and fire.
quent reference is made to it by writer's of
the same age. The old Greeks and
Romans employed it as an ointment in their
baths, the former gaining their knowledge of
it from the Scythians. Thracians, and phyr-
gians, while the Romans got butter from
Germany.
In Southern Europe it isnow very eparing-
ly used. and in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and in
Southern France, it is sold by spothecaries
incidentally for external application. This is
the greatest butter-making State in the Union,
about one fourth of all the butter in the
country being made in New York-at
Chatauqua, Delaware, Chenango, Jefferson,
st. Lawrence, Orange and Oswego exceeding
all other counties. Something like 140, OOO,-
900 pounds are said to be made in the entire
country, and it's value is estimated at some
7O,0OO,OO If butter were properly made
the value Of the product would be nearly
doubled. We sorely need missionaries in
the cause of good butter.

A Good Joke.

Some time in "a there were a number OF
amy officers stopping at hotel in Washing
ton. Among them was captain Jones, who
was a frst-rate fellow, good officer and
very pompoas. Emerson and Jones used to
have good deal of joking together at the
table and elsewhere. One day at the dinner
table, when the dining-hall was well filled,
Captain Jones finished his dinner first, got up
and walked almost to the dining-hall door,
when Emerson spoke to him in u loud voice
and said: ''Halloo, Captain see here;
want to speak to you minute" The Cap
tain turned and walked hack to the table and
bent over him, when Emerson whispered :
s'I wanted to ask you how far you would
have gone if had not spoken to you?" The
Captain never changed muscle, but straight
ened up and put his fingers into his vest
pocket and said, in voice loud enough for
all to hear him: ''Captain Emerson, don't
know man in the world had rather lend
SIS to than you, but the fact is haven't cent
with me to-day and turned on his heel and
walked away. Emerson was the color of half
a dozen rainbows, but he had to stand it. He
never heard the last of it and it cost him
more than $10tO treat on it.

Popular Photographs.
Pioneer Press Washington Correspondence

Pioneer Press Washington Correspondence
Twas talking with a photograph man the
other day, who sells 10, 600 or more pictures
of public men every year, and has en- IN
the business nearly quarter OF century.
He said that he had sold more photographs
of.Lincoln than of any other man, and the
next largest number of Grant. Grants have
the best sale now, and it had revived very
largely within the last year. Blaine, he said
was the most populars man in Congress-, and
came next to Grant. He sold more pictures
of Blaine than of all the other Senators put
together. There was but small demand for
President Hayes although Mrs. Hayes fece
was much called for. Sherman was the
only one of the present cabinet who was
much called for, but he sold more OF the Gen
erals than of Johns. Zach. Chandler. La
mar, Logan. Window, Alex. Stevens, Butler.
Randall, Garfield and Morton are good stock
and constantly called for. There was good
demand for Conkling's picture, but he could
not supply it, as the Senator had not sat for
q negative for several years. and was very
peculiar about it. The people who called
for Conkling's picture were not satisfied with
the one that was taken several years ago.

The Power Of J adgment.

Surmises and supposjtions cannot fill the
place of opinions formed by penetration and
discernment. A man of penetration is as
slow to decide as be is quick to apprebend,
calmly and deliberately Weighing every OPP
posite reason that is offered, and tracing it
with most iudicious penetration. All these
one must possess to have the judgment of
Plutarch, to discriminate between right and
wrong; while to have the clear perception OF
eign atmosphere, and, freed from prejudice,
feel the inspiration of other scenes and con-
ditions. If, in fact we wish our life-struc-
ture to be perfect, we must give 1t our per.
sonal care. lest, while we sit with folded
hands and placid minds, the tottering struc-
ture over US falls with crushing violence to
the earth, burying US amid the ruins.
