H. w. White. of Yankton, is the inventor
ofa very simple, cheap Churn Dasher,
adapted to all the old styles of round or
crock churns. Mr.. White tells us that the
first trial he gave it, he succeeded in churn-
ing into butter new milk, right from the
cows, in three minutes; common sweet
cream in less than two minutes, and old
sour cream in thirty seconds. Thia, we
believe, is the fastest time ON record OF any,
thing of the kind ever invented.

The national greenback labor party, what
ever that may be, had a conference at Wash
ington on the 9Th inst, at which the states
we're represented BY about one hundred
delegates. The only item of importance in
its proceedings was where the chairman
proposed that the work be opened with
prayer. The national greenback labor party
received the proposition with Misses and
expressions like these: I'VE came here for
business; J" Every man to his own trade"
The Righteousness of the chairman prevailed,
however, after much angry clamor. and the
Rev. Dr.. De La Matyr invoked the blessing.
Of God upon the party, This is q decided step
for the party in the direction of civilization,
