Better Butter Packages.

A correspondent of the Chicago
Times says:
During the past few years there mas
been . great change for the better IN
the matter of packages for many arti-
cles that arc sent to market Berries
and all kinds Of small fruit are now sent
in small boxes that are packed in crates
of q size convenient to handle. The
boxes themselves are light. clean. and
easy TO carry. They save the trouble
of handling the fruit. and enable 1t 70
be carried about without injury. A
large proportion OF the goods sold in
groceries are put up in neat and attrac.
tive packages. Even lard Is often sold
in this way. Butter. however, contln-
ues to come TO market in the same
kinds Of packages it did centuries ago.
1t IL packed in earthon crocks or tho
peculiar kind Of oooperage known As
Welsh tubs. Both Of these packages
are cbjsctfosable IN many ways. They
arc not air-tixht, and are inconvcnisnt
TO handle, while the crooks are very
liable to b broken. Both absorb but
ter and the volatile matter that is pro-
duced from it. and no amount of wash
ing and scalding will remove them.
This may be shown by examining tho
interior portion Of q wooden or carthen
vessel that has been used for some time
to store butter III. What is wanted is a
butter-package made OF some material
that is impervious to air as we'll as
moisture, and is not likely TO be broken
in handling or during transportation.
1t should be light to save freight charg-
es. and should present an attractive APP
pearance in order to aid in making q
ready sale for the contents. 1t would
be desirable to have the shipping pack
age contain several small packages that
could be sold with the contents to retail
customers. This arrangements would
save much trouble and prevent the ne
oessity OF exposing the butter to the
bad odors of q grocery.

Classification of EIirts.

There are two kinds of f1irts the
frivolous and the serious, the frothy and
the sentimental-those who are merely
light comedians throughout. whose
proper costume would. be periwigs and
ruffies. hoops and stomachers. powder
and patches and red-heeled shoes.
swords and love-knots. pug. dogs and
rich brocade; and those who have =
touch of tragedy, and who talk largely
of the hollowness of life, the affinity OF
souls. the sorrows of the heart, the
miseries found in loneliness and their
need of sympathetic nature to under
stand their own. The first are, OF
course. the least dangerous, if the most
contemplate; the last are the most
wicked.

Ridiculous Sayings.

Gen. Taylor was made ridiculous for
q time by the sentence which occurred
near the beginning OF his message to
tho Thirty-first Congress, December,
1S49, as follows: I'VE are Mt peace
with all the world. and seek to main
tain our cherished relations of amity
with the rest Of mankind" But Mr..
Buchanan almost matched it in speech
which he made at the South, in which
he said: 81 do believe, gentlemen, that
mankind. as we'll rs the people of the
United States, are interested in the pres
ervation of this Union;" and John c..

Washington, d. O., May Sl.-An impor.
tant decision was rendered by the French
American commissioaer to-day in
the case of Jose Napollen
Percy, archbishop of New Orleans,
against the United States. Tho memorial
OF the Claimant sets forth that in tho YEAR
lS62. at which tine no was French subject
residing in New Orleans, the military forces
OF the United States, under command of
General Benjamin Butler, occupied that CITY,
seized and demolished property belong IN Ia
him to the sum Of $4,000. and
subjected him to arrest and i'm pri isonment
For these injuries no claims tha. he il on
titled TO damages in the sum of $40 600 with
interest. The United States maint tsins ths,
the archbishop was not entitled 10 rec ,yer A,
all as French subject uadsr The
present treaty, for thes reason tina, he "a now
and has been since 1870 a nstufalized

decision OF the commissioners: Archbishop

1871; he does not claim TO DO I
French citizen. Without this as a nee ssi,y
or any other causes which may be analogoil
to this, we think the claim of Mopsisneul
Percy must bo rejected because it does no,
come within the terms of the treaty which
