The Way They Churn i'm Texas.

l thought that had seen a good many
kinds of churns before | came down here
(says New England Yankee, writing
from Texas -crank churns, dasher
churns, and chemical churns." But
L will now describe mode of churning
butter that will, think, make New En-
gland folks open their eyes. Common
ly, they do not make much butter in this
county, and the settlers here come to
get along without it; but, by the time /
had been at the poesta two or three days,
l began to want some butter on my
bread.
M had a herd of twenty-five or
thirty cattle, which he kept for beef,
and among them were number of milch
cows. Ed was hidden to set the milk
for twenty-four hours, and the next
morning Nj told Lizado, or "Liz,"
as we called him, to churn. They had
done such thing rs to churn butter be-
fore, it appears. Liz went out and
brought bag of raw hide, about as large
as common meal bag. How clean it
was inside, am sure L do not know, but
he turned the cream into it, and poured
in new milk enough to fill it two-thirds
full, and then he tied it up with strong
strip of hide.
M stood with broad grin on his
face. L was already too much astonished
to make any remarks. Liz now carried
the bag out of doors, and then got his
horse. Taking his lassoo off the saddle,
he made one end of it fast to the cream
bag, the other end, as usual, being at
tached to ring in the saddle. This
done, he jumped on the horse and tucked
spurs to him. Away he went, and Mt
the first jerk that bag went ten feet into
the air, and fell with squach, close up
to the horses heels. At the next jerk it
went higher still. He soon went out of
sight, with the bag dancing after him.
Sometimes it hit down alongside the
horse, and sometimes it struck slap on
the animals rump. M was con-
vlllsed with laughter-at me, l suppose;
for L must confess that this upset all
my previous ideas of butter-making. In
the course of twenty or thirty minutes
Liz came back, the horse looking pretty
hot, and the bag very dusty.
Els mantica" Cutters Gomez, said
he. Ed united the churn, and, sure
enough, there was good homely chunk
of butter in it; and it proved to be very
decent butter, too 1 asked if that was
the way they always churned. They
said it was, and Ed declared it was I" n
dale asier than turnin' a crank" So
respectfully submit the "method to all
our good people up North. Everything
needed for it is sole-leather bag, II
clothes-line and horse.

THE Monroe doctrine, as promulgated
In President Monroe's message of Dec.
2, 1923, was that it was the policy of the
United States neither to entangle our
selves in the broils of Europe nor suffer
the Old World to interfere with the
that Americans should govern America.
On the same occasion he declared that
any attempt on the part of European
powers to "eXtend their system to any
portion of this hemisphere would be
regarded by the United States as changer
Gus to our peace and safety" and would
be opposed.
The old saying, "Nine taylors make
IA man" originated from the following
circumstance A number of years since,
in London, a little boy was accustomed
TO sell apples, cakes, etc., among the
various shops. At one place he visited
were nine journeyman tailors, who, on
account of the unusual brightness of the
boy, determined to educate him. Each
one contributed portion toward the
necessary expenses, and the boy eventu-
ally became noted individual. In this
sense nine tailors were said to have made
man.
The first models were figures Of liv-
ing persons, and Dibutades, the Cor
inthian, is the reputed inventor of those
in clay. His daughter, known by the
appellation of the Corinthian Maid, be-
ing about to be separated from her
lover, who was going on distant jour
ney, traced his profile by the shadow on
the wall. Her father filled up the out
inc with clay, which he afterward
baked, and produced figure of the OBJ
iect of her affection, giving rise to an
art till then unknown. This was about
1856 b. G..

A Senseless Phrase.

When any man in this country begins
To talk about " the pressure of popula-
ton on the means of subsistence, one
of two things should be done with him.
He should either be transported to
China, where, with population OF
4SO, 0OO. 600, and very little of the mod
ern machinery of production, they begin
to know something of this pressure, and
be permitted and encouraged to air his
IDEAS and practice his theories there, or
he should he set down in the heart of,
say. the Territory of Montana, and COM
PEELED to walk back to the States. In
the latter case he might get some idea
of the extent of the soil which in our
country vet awaits the settler and the
pillow. and realize that the best thing for
the anxious Malthusian to do ut present
is to devise ways and means for settling
and cultivating our immense Western
Territories. 1t is really overwhelming
TO attempt TO realize the extent and re-
sources of our yet-unoccupied national
domain. Take up map which shows
the comparative size of the States and
Territories, observe that New York and
all the New England States could be set
down in Dakota, and yet enough space
would be left to make a good-sized State.
Indiana and Illinois need not be very
close neighbors if both States were set
set down in Montana. Observe the ratio
of population between the Eastern and
Western States. Every man, woman
and child III the United States could he
placed in Texas, and then that State
would not be as thickly peopled as Mas
sachusetts is to-day. The soil, climate
and natural resources of these magniti-
cent Western Territories are far more
favorable to settlement and production
than in the far Eastern States. And
yet there are some wiseacres to be found
who talk about "the pressure OF popu-
lation upon the means of subsistence
To come nearer home, only one-siXth
of the soil of the State of Illinois has
ever been broken by the pow. In Mis-
souri, great empire lies fallow In the

soil, plant and cultivate them, build
roads through them, dig their treasures
of coal iron, and the precious minerals,
build towns and villages, and plant COM
fortal le homes all over their bosoms.
We don't need to plan for the "press-
ure of population on the means subsist-
ence in this country any more than we
need to decide on the cut of our ascen-
sion robes. We do need to realize that
nothing but kind of national stupidity
prevents our enjoying the general pros
perity to which our great national her
itage entities us. There is room for all,
there is comfort for all. Where is to he

THE WITHDRAWAL OF GRANT

The rumor is now started afresh that
General GRANT on his return will, if he has
not done so already make n formal with
drawal from the canvass as a candidate for
the Presidency, in the hope, no doubt, that
it may travel leagues and do mischief to
his chances while truth is putting on its
boots. This is a revival of the old story
that he would formally withdraw before or
about the time of holding the Pennsylvania
Convention. That event transpired, and
yet General GRANT made no sign that could
be construed into withdrawal, or a future
intention TO do so. That rumor proved to
be n sheer fabrication, rs is no doubt the
present one. We have advices from Vir-
ginia to the effect that the friends and sup
porters of one Of the competitors of General
GRANT has been circulating the statement
that General GRANT will not be a candidate,
and hence the colored people of that State
should not cling to him.
Weapprehcnd that those who are laying
the tlattering junction to their souls that
General GRANT will by any word or act
indicate any purpose on his part relating to
the candidacy prior to the holding of the
National Convention, will live on hope de-
ferred. This matter is now where it has
been since the opening of the canvass, with
the people, and whatever they may de-
termine at Chicago will be accepted by him
as the popular voice, which is entitled to
respect. He will not, we feel confident,
ell IoT l..
knows what the public wish is in regard to
him. If he had entertained any such pur-
pose it would no doubt have been ind Gated
long before this, for the friends of the Cen
eral have not lighted their candle and
placed it under bushel, but have set their
light on hill, so to speak, that all the world
could see il. If he had any purpose and
feeling not in cOnsonance with the popular
demonstrations Of favor that have come up
from the hearts of the people relating to
his future, he would have warned them Of
his objections to their course the mo-
mcnt he landed on the Pacific coast.
This last rumOr which is put aloat with SO
much pomp by his opponents, may be re-
garded as an cxpedicnt of last resort, and
indicates q desperation scarcely consistent
with good fellowship, or with q becoming
respect for the manifest wish of the Amcri-
can people, Let no sincere friend of Gen.
eral GRANT be disturbed or di7hcartcuod
by these rumors, for they are the offspring
of desperate purpose to embarrass and
defeat the popular wish These oxredipnts
are to be regretted, though they cannot be
avoided but they must be regarded as in.
cidents ora canvass in which there is a
seated determination to win the prize,
either by hook or by crook Let no one be
deceived by these rumors, for General GRANT
is not the man to delude his countrymen by
permitting what has been done without an
expression of dissent, if it was not in accord
with his wish.

A NOTE OF WARNING.

We have regarded the fulminations Of
the literary bureaus Of General GRANTS
competitors for the nom ination, which have
been intended TO prejudice him with the
American people under the questions Of
third term" and "the hostility OF the
Germans" ;" as unjust and unfair, and for
that reason we have rebuked these efforts
often as having tendency to put ammu-
milton in the caissons of the enemy. We
now find a counter-bast in the New York
Times in the following terms;
There is no doubt that Mr. BLAINE does
possess power of attracting the admira-
ton of certain people TO him. Mr. JAY
GOULD has felt the mysterious Influence

pies feel confident that it was tho magnetic
element in Mr. BLAINE which mado them his

The Atchison Champion says that if General
Grant is nominated no paper will do more to

way the responses are coming up from all over
Kansas, the Champion will find plenty ofhelp in
its promised work. The people nre for Grant,
and this fact was never moro apparent than
now-KdnSas city Journal
The contrast between tho methods OF Grant
and Blaine is u sure indication of the popular
sentiment While Blaine is making desperate
plunges after the popular heart, and doing 1t
with great deal of energy and noise, Grant
has captured the popular head, and that head
is doing good deal Of hard thinking. Still
