A State Quadrille.

The ball in honor of the French and
German guests of the Nation, at the Me-
tropolitan Casino, Forty-frst Street and
Broadway, took place last night, under
the auspices of the New York Reception
Committee.
The first dance was the State quad
rifle, and it was the only set on the floor
at the time. The arrangement of this
dance, so that no one should be offended,
had caused the committee some sleep
less nights. A space near the stage was
cleared away, and Gov. Cornell took his
place at the head of the quadrille with
Mime. Outrey. Next to them were ex-
Senator John II. King and Nine. de
Rochambeau. 1t was double set.
Gen. Boulanger and Mrs. John Jacob
Astor, and Minister Outrey and Mrs.
Cornell were the two pairs at the foot.
The couples on the side, at the right of
Gov. Cornell, were M. de Corcelle and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Col. Bossau
and Mrs. Aspinwall, the Marquis de Ro-
chambeau and Mrs. Francis G.. Barlow
Opposite to these three couples were
Col. Won Steuben and Mrs. William Jay,
Capt. de Pagnac and Mrs. Horace Rus
sell, Count d'Ollong and Mrs. William
r. Stewart The committeeman learned,
however, after they had selected these
persons to take part in the quadrille,
that several of those decided upon had
never danced. Accordingly dress re-
hearsal was held for those whose educa-
ton had been so sadly neglected in this
direction; and last night,to make doubly
sure that everything should pass off cor
rectly, one of the floor managers was
stationed behind those participants in
the quadrille who had never learned
how to dance. The set was watched
with the greatest interest by all present,
and every one gathered around the open
space left for the dancers. The music
was from 'sCarmen," and the orchestra
played it with great spirit. The quad
rifle was gone through with very credit
ably with the aid of the floor managers,
Notwithstanding that there were some
mistakes made. 1t ended in waltz, in
which every one joined.-Nsw York;

THE DAIRY

The demand increases so fast for
first-class dairy goods that a fear of an
over supply is groundless. ea paa SnF
Potato starch is said to be the latest
ad,.lterant of cheese, and, in point of
cleanliness, at least, has the advantage
over refined soap grease.I sy Ygs

1t is stated that $50 butter and
cheese factories have been built in Iowa
during 1881, making a total of $50 now
in that State. There will probably be
large addition made to this number
next spring. n
In ireland the. butter trade is reg
ulated by act of Parliament. The farm

proceed to take out the head of each
cask. and the inspectors follow, without
knowing to whom the packages belong.

Don't stuff your cows with all the
hay they can eat. Give them a chance
to chew the cud once in while, and
thus remasticate the hay as it ought to
be before going into the stomach. A
continual filling up with hay distends
the stomach unnaturally and causes in
digestion. The animal gets out of or
der and gives neither as much nor as
rich milk as she would if fed regularly
at stated times with only such quanti-
ty as she can properly digest. Farm,
ers waste their. hay and injure their cat.
tie sometimes by injudicious generosity.
"A farmers wife writes: Of all the
products of the farm butter is the most
liable to be tainted by noxious odors
floating in the atmosphere. Our peo-
pie laid some veal in the cellar, from
which little blood flowed out. and was
neglected until it had commenced to
smell. The result was that jar of
butter we were packing smelled and
tasted like spoiled beef. We know Of
an instance where there was pondof
filthy, stagnant water a few hundred
feet from the house, from which an of
fenslve effiuvium would be borne on the
breeze directly to the milk room when
the wind was in certain direction, the
result of which was that the cream and
butter would taste like the disagreeable
odor coming from the pond. As soon
as the pond was drained there was no
more damaged butter. 1t is remarka-
bic how easily butter is spoiled.

The Marriage Life.

The marriage life is always an insipid,
vexatious, or happy condition. The
! first is when two people of no genius or
taste for themselves meet together upon
such settlement as has been thought
reasonable by parents and conveyancers,
from an exact valuation of the land and
ash of both parties. In this case the
young lady is no more regarded than
the house and improvements in pur-
chase of an estate; but she goes with
her fortune, rather than her fortune
with her. These make up the crowd,
and fill up the lumber of the human
race, without benefcence toward those
below them, or respect to those above
them. The vexatious life arises from a
conjunction of two people of quick taste
and presentment, put together for rea-
sons well known to their friends, in
which especial care is taken to avoid
what they think the chief of evils, pov-
erty, and insure to them riches, with
every evil besides. These people live in
a constant constraint before company.
When they are within observation they
fret at each others carriage and behav-
ior; when alone they revie each others
conduct. The happy marriage is where
two persons meet and voluntarily make
choice of each other, without principally
regarding or neglecting the circum-
stances of fortune or beauty. These
may still live in spite of adversely or
sickness; the former we may, in some
measure, defend ourselves from; the
other is the portion of our very make

FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.


The proprietor Of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edies ever offered to the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
or of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure II
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels In
good order. Should the patient, however re-.
quire cathartie medicine, after having taken
three or four doses Of the Tonic. single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.

A QUEER SPECIMEN.
4 Petrified Baby, or something OF the
sort. New in 1T Louis.

ST. LOUIS, March 3.-Mr. w. C. Rem
frew, of Russell, Ark, and Capt w. J.
Patton, of Little Rock, arrived in this
city to-day on their way to Washing
ton, ID. G. The object of their visit to
Washington is to exhibit to the officers
of the Smithsonian Institute the ecu
reka Baby" a specimen of archaeology
found on the first of last October, at
Eureka Spring, Ark. The baby was
found about four feet below the sur
face, on the lot of John B. Hebron, a
resident of the town, and it was discov-
cred by laborer named F. H. Camp
bell, while he was digging well. The
baby had q coating of a composition
about as light as pumice-stone, but this
covering, varying in thickness from
| half an inch to an inch and half, has
since been removed from the entire
| head and shoulders and the right sid0
Of the body, showing one leg complete
The baby is two feet and two inches
long, and weighs, with the composition
coating, eighty-five pounds. The head
and limbs exposed are said to be rightly
proportioned The cheeks are pulled
out and the legs and arms are plump.
The general color of the baby is a
blush brown, varying in lightness. The
baby looks much like a Hindoo idol.
Mr. Renfrew, the present owner of the
baby, has found good many people
who believe it to be petrified human
being, but it is hardly necessary to say
that this opinion is not held by scien-
fist. The body is evidently work of
art, and the first important question to
be determined in connection with it is
in regard to the time it was deposited
at the place where it was found by the
welLdigger Campbell. Whether it was
placed there by p e-historic race or
by representative of the present race,
the people of the Smithsonian institute
will be called upon to decide.

WHITAKER TRIAL.
A Witness Practically Illustrates
Whittaker's Position when Found

New YORK, March 3-The Whitaker
court martial was the scene of much
interest to-dav. A large audience,
composed mainly of fashionably dress
ed ladies, occupied chairs inside and
outside the railing. They were mostly
residents in the garrison town of Gov
ernor's Island, and are wives and
daughters or other relatives of officers.
The attraction was the examination of
l.. I. Brunette. of the 4th Cavalry, at
present stationed in New Mexico At
the time of the occurrence now being
inquired into he was a cadet at the
Military Academy and vas an impor-
tant witness at the " est Point inquiry.
After the examination had progressed
for sometime, Judge Advocate Gardner
asked Mr.. Brunette, "Do you think
you can describe more fully how Whit
taker was tied ?"
"Yes, sir; if you give ME he bonds
/ think can show exactly"
The Judge Advocate then said that
with the consent of the court the wit

ness would give practical exhibition
of the position in which he found
Whitaker.
A member of the court objected,
saying IF such an examination is to
begin, / think the court should adjourn
to room No. %. | do not think it
proper to have a public exhibition
here" Other members of the court
overruled the objection, and prepare
tions were made for a demonstration.
L. L. Burdette retired from the room
for few minutes, and returned with q
fatigue jacket substituted for q dress
coat he had previously worn. An iron
bedstead fetched from West Point was
brought into the room, the witness who
had the appearance of sturdy athlete,
feet together and afterwards binding his
wrists. He then went to the. bed sit
ting on the floor he tied his feet to the
side of the bed; he then laid down up
on the floor, resting on the right side
with his head lying upon an improvis-
ed pillow of books of record. He tied
the knots securely and occupied about
seven minutes doing so. During the
operation he was closely watched by
al present, the court gathering at one
end of the table and the curious specta-
tors looking over each others shoulders
to get a glimpse of the performance.
When the binding was completed the
witness was asked to show his ability
to reach his ears with his hands, to
reach the Indian club in the position
in which he said he had found it, and
finally his ability to unite himself.
Ex-Gov. Chamberlain made a close ex-
animation of the bound witness and
measured the distance between his
inches. The witness them united HIM
self which he did very readily without
any assistance, and again took his seat
in the witness chair, after which Ex-
Gov. Chamberlain examined him at
great length

elsewise ca N their living. In 1S4S they
were restored to citizenship by Louis
Napoleon. In 1852 they regained their
rank and titles, the eldest son bearing
that which his father won on the fatal
march to Moscow, Prince de la Mosko-
wa, the second that of Duke of Elchin-
gen, from the prodigious charge that
Ney made at the villages of Aspern
and Elchingen, when the Archduke
Charles in superior numbers were
driven from almost impregnable en-
trenchments. With the fall of the EN-.
pire in 1870 the Neys lost again their
status, but were not molested, and the
younger members of the family were
even promoted in their grades in the
army. The cause of the dukes sui
eide is not given, but it was probably a
love affair.
