The Demand for Fresh Butter.

The gilt-edge butter Of the present
day, that which commands the highest
price. both in this country and in
Europe, is but slightly saited. The
popular taste is in the direction Of fresh
parcels. The greatest drawback in the
production of butter of this character is
its lack of keeping qualities. 1t COM
mands fancy price, yet If not consum-
ed at once rancidity is developed, and it
must be sold at the price of lard. II
heavily salted it will not sell to the best
trade; hence the problem which is to be
solved by REX Magnus" is one Of vast
importance. The butter markets of this
country to-day are groaning under the
heavy weight of summer made butter
already oily, rancid and unstable, ex-
cept at low prices. While fresh cream
cry butter commands 40 cents per pound,
some summer dairies, originally prime,
are going begging for customers at 18 to
20 cents per pound. Who can estimate
the pecuniary advantage to dairymen of
any system of preservation by which
June butter may be continued sweet and
aromatic during the year? Who can
predict the revolution in dairying which
is sure to follow any method by which
the surplus dairy products, so economi-
cally secured during the flush of sum-
mer pastures, can be preserved for sale
during the winter season, when milch
cows REQUIRE costly rations of Indian
meal added to the best of hay to con-
tinue butter making?

A Paper Steamboat.

A firm in Lansingburg, n. Y, has
nearly finished "a paper steamboat" for
a Pittsburgh company, of which the
Troy Times gives the following partic-
ulars: The craft is the form of steam
launch, ami is built for the Westing,
house Machine Compar y of Pittshurg,
Pa. Its dimensions are as follows;
Length of keel, twenty feet; breadth
of beam, FIVE feet; depth of hold three
feet; length over all, twenty four feet;
draft of screw. twenty four inches;
length of shaft, eight feet; weight
without machinery, 1000 pounds; seat.
ing capacity, twenty FIVE persons;
carrying capacity, three tons.
The craft was built in two sections
and jointed on the keel. The sheath
ing, solid body of paper. is three
eighths of an inch in thickness, or a
quarter OF an inch thicker than that
used in building racing or other boats.
A bullet from Smith &Wesson revol.
yer fred at the sheathing from a dis
tance of four feet neither penetrated
it nor made an abrasion on its surface
Exp eriments nave shown that it is
impossible to soak or soften the hull
or increase its weight by contact with
water. To prove this assertion a
paper vessel of thickness correspond
ing with the hull of the launch was pre-
pared without paint or outside protec-
ton. and placed in the water last Oct
There the vesse. has remained eight
months, and at present shows no signs
of moisture on the inside nor
dlsintergration in any form. The
motive power of the new craft is a
Westinghouse engine of about six
horsepower, capable of making 1000
revolutions minute. and guaranteed
to gvie high rate of speed. The
engine and machinery will be placed
in the boat at an early day, when a
trial trip will lie made. The firm are
confident the present venture will open
up vast industry and revolutionize
the construction of hulls of MANY styles
of vessels now built of wood Life
boats, steam.l launches for ships, cap
tains' gigs, and whale boats can be con-
structed by this process, they claim, of
greater durability and less weight than
at present.

The news from st. Joseph, Mo-, is
of the most alarming character At
social gathering there the other even,
ing a young gentleman of high social
standing and beautiful young lady
"tlom one of the upper counties had
a playful struggle for the possession OF
a fan, in the course of which the girl
sank her teeth in the fleshy part of his
arm. He bore the pain without COM
plant, and after returning home an
examination showed that blood was
issuing from the wound. The young
lady was very handsome, and the gen.
tleman did not fell the slightest alarm
in consequence of the hurt. On the
following morning he was surprised to
find the lacerated arm swollen twice its
natural size. A doctor was called in
and cooling poultice applied to the
wound. 1t was three days before the
young man was able to leave his
room. The local papers refer to SINH
lar case at Cape Girardeau few years
ago, when young man actually died
from the effects of playful bite on
the thumb by young lady. The &C.
count closes with the alarming state.
ment that ''it frequently happens tina,
the bite Of woman is poisonous. .
This statement is sustained by the two
incidents just given, and it wonld
seem, therefore, that something ought
to be done looking to the protection Of
young men. 1t may seem possible to
vaccinate against this new peril which
threatens mankind. Let star eyed
science come to the front and investi.
gate the subject The young men OF
America can not afford to take chances.
II nothing else can be done the young
ladies must be muzzled.

Gold People.

1t is the nature of some people to
gush. Heaven endowed them with q
large emotional apparatus. They have
warm affections, grow excited at trifies,
embrace you with fervency, pledge eter-
nal friendship. and mean, for the time
being, all their vows of constancy.
Doubtless they fill necessary place in
the world, serving to give warmth and
color to those aspects in social life that
would otherwise seem cold and bare.
They generally belong, however, tothat
class of people who experience consid-
cradle variations of temperament. They
have their high days and low ones,
their moods of exaltation and depres-
sion. They are in glaring contrast to
the cold and equable people, those vari-
able people, those variable compounds
who are never put out, never enthusias-
tic, never furried, never goaded into
delicious indiscretions. These are the
kind of people who are apt to make life
a success. Their .temperamental cool
ness enables them to organize leisurely,
without being perturbed by the futter
of emotion. They sit still and ealcu-
late while the rest of the world is
scorched with fever heat or writhes like
snake in the flames. It is the cold
people who keep their heads above wa
ter while their neighbors drown, and
put snug little sums of money in the
bank while their friends are starving.
1t may be answered that cold people
excite esteem but not love. That is
nothing against them. 1t is often very
comfortable not to be loved. This love
is frequently an agony. At the very
least, to be loved by some one whose
passion you cannot return. is an annoy
ance. You feel that you are doing them
an injury, while, at the same time, you
are quite conscious that you are not.
You experience an inconsistent femorse
for an impossible crime. That is. pro-
vided you are not a cold person your
self. One of the beauties of being cold
is that while you are totally indifferent
as to whether you excite affection or
not, you may be aware of having done
SO in few exceptional cases, and yet
remain wholly irresponsive and wholly
unconcerned about their irresponsive-
ness. If you are cold person, with
good digestion, you are on the highroad
to happiness, for you wAl be free from
two of the principal causes of suffering
in this world namely, dyspepsia and
over sympathy with Others. You will
have none Of those momentary and 'ec-
static thrills which fash through the
emotional nature. But you viii 90
through life with nice, comfortable
torpidity Of soul, for which you ought
to thank mother nature.

WILMINGTON, SATURDAY. July 90,
Democratic suci ess and business Pros
perity.


Despite the TACT that the reports from
commercial centres show that the business
of the country Is in a generelly satisfactory
condition, we are told by the Republican
papers that the prospects OF Democratic sue
cess at the next election, ano the uneer-
crauc congress next winner, naye uusetCIeu
our business affairs to a serious exteLt,
made capital timid and played smash with
the industrial enterprises of the whole
country.
Really, this will be surprising news to the
people. The Democratic Congress was
elected nearly year ago, since which time
business has been Looming right along until
it is as good as it ever was at this period OF
the year. Capital is seeking investments
wherever there is fair show for a reason
able return, and is pushing forward just the
same as though a Democratic Congress was
unknown to the country.
This ridiculous habit of claiming for
the Republican party the credit
for every good thug enjoyed by the people
is I farce that can no longer be continued
When crops were good, business booming
and the people prosperous and contented,
the Republican party arrogantly claimed the
credit, Jut when the industries OF the coun-
try were paralyzed by financial panics and
meu sought in vain for work, it was quick
to deny all responsibility for such deplora-
BILE state of affairs. The panic OF 1873 came
when the Republican party was in the zenith
of its power, aud after it had governed the
country uninterruptedly for nearly fifteen
years.
We do not deny that Democratic Con
gress will effect change. In 1875 Demo
cratic House OF Representatives effected /
most remarkable change, by contracting
our national expenditures thirty millions o.
dollars in single year, and b.
thus reducing the burdens of tht
people, greatly aiding in restoring pros
perity to the country. A democratic ma
tional administration would effect even
greater change, as it would not only lesse
the expenses OF government but woul1 TAX
hold OF the robbers who have plundered IL
people for years, and punish them as Pol
was punished in Tennessee, instead of shov
ing them the consideration that has bee
extended to Dorsey and his gang of ST
Route thieves
The people can readily stand compile
Democratic administration. 1t could NJ
be worse than the present and recent Repul
lican administrations if its whole energit
were applied to destroying Instead of aidin
our national prosperity. A change can
no harm, and will doubtless prove benef
70 the entire country.
