THE DAIRY.

"A well-known western dairyman,
who has experimental with the "antl-
huff compound, both in buttermilk
and sweet milk, says there appears little
change at first, but in a week the milk
becomes red like blood, that it seemed
to dissolve the caseine in buttermilk.
Examining it under the microscope he
discovered CRYSTALS of bicarbonate OF
soda and bicarbonate of potash.
Butter dealers claim that the stand
ard of tirst-class butter is getting higher
every year, and what would readily sell
for a choice article a few years ago IS
now put down as second or third rate.
Very few dairy lots now coming in from
Vermont or New York run even, and
after selecting two or three tubs from
an invoice, the remainder has to be sold
at very low price. -BoSton Ird0etter'
The exposure of the windows of the
cheese room should be toward the north
and east and in cold weather double
sash is most desirable. In this close,
even room, we are able to detect the
aroma of the strictly fine cheese. On
opening the door to enter, the perfume
strikes the sense most pleasantly. The
odor can be likened to that from many
fragrant sources, as fancy dictates. At
one time, in turning up the cheese, the
perfume of the pineapple is certainly
apparent; again, we think only of the
strawberry, or the rose. Under what
ever name, there it is, delicately
subtle exhalation of the cheese curds,
which shows the maker where he
stands. The character of that cheese
is fixed beyond a question. If the pa
irons would take pains to inform them
selves on this point of flavor it might
help them to decide how the work of
the season is progressing. This perfume,
however, need not be looked for unless
all other exterior signs of cleanliness
and care correspond. 1t will not be
found in connection with cracked, leaky
cheese, or in a room where the floor is
all spotted over with whey running from
the tables.

Shade Trees in Pastures.

Whatever difference of opinion there
may be among farmers as to the propri
ETY. of having trees in pasture fields as
resort for cattle in very warm weather,
no one can deny that the advantage they
are to animals in the midst of the heated
term, beyond the damage the trees may
do the land, is very considerable. But
it must be understood that some trees
do more damage to the ground than
others, and these are well-known to
most farmers, who will exercise .heir
own Judgment when selecting them.
The cherry. is confessed one of these,
which, while it hurts the land scarcely
appreciably, is as fine a tree for shade
as any in the catalogue, and besides
affords a profit in fruit. Where will be
found a more beautiful shade-tree than
the Black-Eagle, Elton; or Downer's
late cherryP They are hardy and good
bearers. Then again there is the yellow
locust, which is one of our most beauti-
full trees, though not generally so dense
in its foliage us the cherry, which does
no perceptible injury to the land, and
the wood of which is valuable, like the
cherry, when there may be occasion to
remove them. These facts show that
there is no good reason why the cattle
should be deprived of this great protoc-
ton against summer heat on the ground
of damage to the land, which is serioas-
ly done by the oak, the walnut, the
beach, and some others Germantown
Telegraph.

A Peculiar Affection.

Mr.. Edwin Cowles, the editor of the
Cleveland Leader, has peculiar afflic-
ton. From boyhood he has been
troubled with deafness somewhat of the
nature of color blindness. He has never
heard the sound of the bird, and until
he grew to manhood he had always
thought the music of the bird was a
poetical fiction. "You may fill room
with canary BIRDS" says Mr.. Cowles,
land they may all sing at once and l
never would hear a note, but / would
hear the flutterings of their wings. l
never hear the Kissing sound in the hu-
man voice, consequently not knowing
of the existence of that sound, l grew
up to manhood without ever making it
in my speech. A portion of the con-
sonants l never hear, yet can hear all
the vowels. About quarter of the
sounds in the human voice never hear,
and L have to watch the motion of the
lips and be governed by the sense of
the remarks in order to understand
what is said to me. | have walked by
the side of policeman going home al
night and seen him blow his whistle,
and l never would hear it, although it
could be heard by others half a mile
away. 1 never heard the upper notes
of a piano, violin or other musical in
strument, although would hear all the
lower notes." Mr.. Cowles has consult
ed the most eminent surgeons, physi-
clans and aurists in the country and they
are unanimous in declaring his peculiar
affection to be without precedent.

WHAT WILL BE DONE IN TaE NEAn
The almost universal topIc on the
streets at the present is railroad matters.
The passage Of the Delaware Western
r.. r., bill yesterday seems to give
universal satisfaction.
In speaking of the event to a gentle.
man largely interested In the matter.
this morning he stated to . GAZETTE
representative that of course he was
very much pleased over the result, and
he only hoped that the bill would be
finally passed by the House next week
| as be desired to commence work Mt once.
Should the bill pass corps of enRi-
neer will at once make q survey
and when 1t is completed and adopted
the work of construction will be con,-
menced at once. Upon the opening of

laying Of tracks, etc. The worKmen
Will be divided into gangs and work
towards each other. The gentleman In
| question also desired to thank the editor
of the GAZETTE, because as he said: ahe
had done us conan SERVICE"
The next step in railroad matters
although so important as the building Of
the new road, will be the laying Of an
additional track on Water street by the
Wilmington d Northern railroad. The
laying OF this track was contemplated
when Water street was widened. At
that time the P. w. 81 Wilmington IL
Western, now the Delaware Western,
the Wilmington b Reading now tho
Wilmington d Northern, assured the
citizens should the street be widened and
they allowed to come into the city thew
would jointly erect Union depot. The
matter was referred 20 q vote of the
citizens and the question Of widening
the street was adopted. Thus the mat
ter has remained SO far Az the erection
of Union depot is concerned. In the
meantime the Delaware Western came
but stopped at Market street.
The Wilmington IL Northern a few
weeks ago petitioned Council for the
privilege of laying track on said street
from the western portion of the city to
French street.
The petition was favorably reported
and an ordinance prepared granting
them the privilege. It was called for
third reading last evening by Morris
Taylor, and passed unanimously. One
of the officials of the road located in
this city, said this morning that no soon
as the weather will permit the work OF
laying the track will at once be COM
menced. In regard to the Union de-
pot he was not prepared to say.
The next matter of interest especs
tally to the citizens of the western por-
tion of the city, is the building OF
new street railway. It Ia already
known that the necessary amount has
been subscribed for the building of
what is known as the Front and Union
street line.
A meeting of the subscribers and
incorporators win be held ON Thurs
day next for the election of officers.
The proposed route of the new line
has already been Published SO it is NOT
necessary to republish it here.
Mr.. George w. Bush, one of the In.
corporators, stated this morning that
the company would commence the lay.
ing of tracks early in March, and the
road be in running order by August
1st.

Mr.. Gray addressed the Court for over

based upon the ground that shere was

mas could be citizen OF State and
the United States also. The case now

The Chief Justice charged the iury In
the ease Of Philips Eyre, charged with
knowingly and wilfully rejeetlng a legal
vote offered by Ellis Furguson at the
last general election.
The charge reviewed the defense raised
by the defendants counsel, which was
that Furguson being deserted from the
U. 8. army, was, by virtue OF United
States Statutes deprived OF ali rights and
privileges OF q citizen OF the United
States,and therefore not entitled to vste.
On this point the charge was veiy
elaborate, but the substance Of It, briefly
given, was that under our form of gov
ernment there exists a dual citizenship
a citizenship Of the United States aud q
citizenship OF the State. That 1t had
never been held that Congress had the
power to regulate the qualifications OF
voters, this being enc of the expressly
reserved rights OF the States.
