WoMAN's INFLUENCE.-The following
choice sentiment is from the Southern
World:
So great is the influence of a sweet
minded woman on those around her that
it is almost boundless. 1t Is to her that
friends come in seasons of sorrow and sick
ness for help and comfort; one soothing
touch of her hand works wonders in the fe-
verlsh child; few words let fall from her
lips in the ear of sorrowing sister does
much to raise the load of grief that is bow
ing its victim down to tho dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out with
the pressure Of business, and feeling irrta-
BILE with the world in general, but when-he
enters the cozy sitting room and sees the
blaze of the bright fire. and meets his wife's
smiling face, he succumbs in a moment to
the soothing influences which, act as the
balm of Gilead to his wounded spirits that
are waaried with com batting with the stern
realities of life. The rough schoolboy flies
in rage from the taunts of his cOmpan-
ions to find solacs in his mothers smile;
the little one full Of grief with its own
large trouble. finds a haven of rest On its
mothers breast; and SO one might go on
with instance after instance of the Influence
that sweet minded woman has in the
social life with which she is connected.
Beauty is an insignificant power when COM
pared with hers.

THE WIFE.-When prospects are clouded
by tha dark shadows of anguish, and the
world seems, in moment Of wretched for
getfulpess, like barren desert, what bliss
in the thought that there is one being who
will sympathize with our sorrow. and cheer
us with the tenderest affection. When those
who set up as idols in the temple Of friend
ship and esteem shall basely desert the post
Of honor and integrity, is it not happiness to
have one who looks as fondly as ever on our
fortune. and loves with purity and warmth
unknown to the most sacred friendship?

Good butter should contain at least eighty
two per cent. of fat. or oil. This fatis COM
pesed of solid or margarine fat, and liquid
or olein. Winter butter contains, of solid
fat, sixty Ave parts in one hundred, summer
batter only forty parts. This fact explains
why milk should be churned at different
temperatures in different seasons Of the year.
This fat oily substance, in the form OF
globules. is formed in suspension in the
milk. By the mechanical action of the
churn, the envelopes of the globules are
broken, and the globuIes brought into cohe-
sion and separated from the other portions
or components ofthe cream. BY the chem
cal process the sugar of milk is converted
into Tactic acid, and the bulk of the fluid,
which was put into the sweet churn is in
stantly soured. Boussingault prescribes the
temperature for churning to be 50 degrees
fer sweet cream 81 degrees for sour cream,
and 81 degrees for milk, Abont one-fourth
Of the total amount of butter globules which
exist in the cream escape collection, which
accounts for the rich taste of the buttermilk.

4 VERY IGNORANT MAN.-As Artemus

ace Greedy ? who is he ?"
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon said:
''C49orge Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal of row over in England; do you
think they will put him in bastile ?"
''Train? Traine George Francis Train ?''
said Artemus solemnly, 81 never heard of
him.
This ignorance kept the ran quiet for IF
teen minutes; then he said:
What do you think about General
Grants chances for the Presidency ?"
s'Grant? Grant? hang it man," said
Artemus you appear to know more strang-
ers than any man | ever saw"
The man was furious; he walked up the
car, but at last came back and said:

hear of Adam?"
Artemus looked up and very quietly
said;
"What was his other name?''

A SWINDLED AUDIENCE.
The Much-Talked-Of Fight Between Glow and
LANCE a HippOdrOme.

A glove contest, much advertised for the pre-
sumably bona fde stakes of $500 and the cham
pionship of Ohio and Indiana, between John P.
Glow, of Colorado, and Charles Lange, of Ohio,
took place at the Park Theater, last night, in
the presence of a considerable audience, much
sold and disguised, this being the second outra-
geous swindle perpetrated here this season. The
affair was a 'hippodrome." On inquiry it was
found that the house had been rented, and the
exhibition took place under the management of
Kelly, of this city. The bill was to have con-
sisted Of some set-tos between amateurs, and a
fight to the finish between Glow and Lange. The
programme was tamely carried out by some fee
Bile smuggling on the part of local sports, and at
$50 Glow andLange, headed by DuneanC Ross,
of Cleveland, entered the ring, which was
pitched on the Park stage. AS Lange (l entered
the ring the audience set up a howl, fori became
apparent to the majority Of the knowing ones
that the stout, beefy-looking individual intro
duced as Lange, was not the man here with the
Ross Sorokachi wrestling party. After the an
nouncement that the authorities would not per
init a fight to the finish, two lively rounds were
fought, Glow being the victor. 1t seemed that
the unknown was done up, as he did not come
up the third time, but after the deception OF the
substitute, it was probably a display of character
acting. The audience often interrupted the pro-
ceediug by their clamorous calls for the fight as
advertised. 1t was claimed by the pugilistic
party that the unknown was one Mike Lange.
AS the audience Streamed ont Of the theater,
slowly kicking themselves, the orchestra played
the familiar old air, "Auld Lange Syne.'
