Butter.

Butter is mentioned several times
in the Old Testament, but it is now
generally believed by the best au-
thorities that the articles there al
lpded to was not butter in our
sense 81 the word, but only cream or
sour milk. 1t is highly probable
that butter was not knSgn in that
early age of the world. The Oldest
mention OF real butter is by Herodi-
tus. Plutarch tells story of two
noble ladies, ono of whom smelled
SO strongly of sweet ointment and
the Other Of b4tsr that they could
not endure each others presence.
II is said that butter was scarcely
known to the Greeks and Romans
during the second century. The
Greeks learned its use from Thrace.
Scythia and some of the regions of
Asia Minor The Romans obtained
their knowledge of il from the Ger
mans. Pliny and others say that
the Germans used q great deal OF
milk, and also made It into butter
and cheese.-But butter was used,
however, among the Romans more
as medical ointment than az an
article Of food. They used olive
oil more as We use butter, and this
Is s;iA largely the case in the coun-
tries Of Soathefg Europe.
In our own day the laan4facture
of butter has become q thriving in
duStry in many countries. and busy
dairies with their golden products
girdle the world. As a general
thing butter is made from cows milk.
though the milk of sheep, goats and
asses is used in some countries.
That obtained from cows milk is
considered the best, and that from
asses milk the poorest. ,he butter
making capacity of milk varies, III
asmuch as some cows give a richer
article than others, and even the
milk OF any glVep COW viii yarv in
excellence from time to time accord
ing to the season and food. The to-
tai amount OF butter made in the
United States in 1876 vas somewhat
in excess of 257,000 tons. Of this /
amount New York State made more 4
than one-fifth-a much larger guam
tity than any other State in the .
Union. The six largest butter-pro-
ducing States in 1870 were as fol-
lows: New York, Pennsylvania. /
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan.

General Garfield Talks 10 a Deiega-
tion of Ladies.

CLEVELAND, O., October pa
delegation of about 900 ladies OF
Cleveland and intermediate places
went to Mentor to-day and called
on General Garfield, who in response
to Introductory address spoke rs
follows:
Mrs. Martin and Ladies Of Cleyc-
land: | am glad II receive such 2
greeting as this by your presence,
and by the words of your chairman.
It seems to me rs | look upon this
assemblage that there could be no
such scene as this in any but free
country. and for this reason: In all
monarchical nations the governing
power does the governing itself. Our
fathers reversed that order. The
real governing power in this coun-
try never does the actual work OF
government, but causes it to be
done by agents and servants. The
governing power stays at home and
sends its servants to do the work of
government.
During our late war there were
great forces: the army that fought,
those who paid and supplied the
army, and the people at home, still
closer to the sovereign heart, who
inspired both PAYERS and fighters to
execute the nations will. That
third inner line, was the home line,
on which all the patriotic women of
America labored and loved and gave
their best inspiration to the nation
in its hour of peril. So in all other
great public work, those who 60 for
ward to execute the nations will are
only Its servants. The will OF the
nation resides in the hearts and
homes and by the firesides of fifty
millions Of people, and there by the
heartstone, nearest to the heart OF
our soveriegn-the peoples wo-
mans great and beneticent power to
impress Itself upon the national
viii. / greet YOU for having brought
the spirit Of home TO my hGme, the
spirit Of so many American homes,
to cheer. strengthen and inspire
whatever Of national life and force
there may be in this home, which Is
only one of millions.
Ladies, this unique exhibition of
American spirit, this spirit which
inspired our soldiers while fighting,
succored them in sicknes, and con
soled them in dying-I say this ex-
hibition to day Is hut another mani
fcstation of the growing power OF
home upon American public life,
and for it and all that it means /
thank you With all my heart. |
shall be glad 10 present you 10 my
family. Mrs. Garfield wishes 20
greet cyety ono of YOU.

The Poor Gar.

PARIS, Oct. 2S.--Stran9e reports
are current in st. Petersburg in re-
gard TO the indisposition Of the En-
peror. 1t is whispered that, des.
pite all precautions taken by his
household the Nihilists have succeed
ed in poisoning him. TgQ ef the
imperial cooks have, it is stated,
been arrested on suspicion.
A Berlin dispatch says that the
health of the Car is so precarious

to those around ham. The stEQke
of paralysis which he recently ex-
perienced is said 10 have affected
his brain. Hopes of his recovery,
however. have not been abandoned.

escort of Russian oneers has pass
ed through Berlin, having charge OF
eight millions rBbles, said to belong
to the Cars private fGstaHe and de
signed for investment abroad. What
this may possibly mean is obvious.
