In skimming the cream from
milk, there should always DO milk
enough skinned with the cream to
give butter, when churned, a
bright, clean look. Butter churned
from clear cream, with little or no
milk IN it, will usually have an oily
or shiny look. This shows that the
grain of the butter is injured, which
affects the keeping qualities OF the
butter.

George Eliot made note in her journal Of
a story she had from Mrs. Bremen, who OBJ,
tanned it from Emerson; "Oarlyle was very
angry with him Emersonl for not believing
In a devil, and to convert him took him
among all the horrors Of London, the GIN
shops, etc., and finally to the House of
Commons, plying him at every turn with the
question, DO you believe In a devil moo ?"
It is seldom that an accident contains more
elements of grotesqueness than that which
befell German at Oshkosh. He tapped a
maple tree with an axe and then inserted a
wedge STOPPING to sip the oozing sap, his
nose became inserted in the slit in the tree.
The wedge then became dislodged and his
nose was caught as In a wise II was two
hours before he was discovered and rescued.

In "Oshkosh" they probably locate the
scene of this 'likely" story in "Vermont."
On the train from Louisville the other
morning an elderly gentleman bought some
oranges, and gave one to his young frisnd,
young George, of Versailles. Having anolh

woman few seats off, who had some grand
children with her. He ready undertook the
office, and very politely handed her the or

That evening the Rev. Aloysius Vanjobn

Gran, and HI. Pa,t LIfe.

Senator Ingalls,, in speaking Of Gen. Grant
recently, said: Gen. Grant WAS one of the
most entertaining afteT-dinner takers | ever
knew. He was only the silent man in crowds
and at times when hatterers tried to draw
him out and make him talk about himself
But after dinner, or with a few congenal
friends anywhere, he was ready, interesting
and often fascinating in conversation. l recall
especially one evening when Gen. Grant was
President. 1t was at dinner party at the
White House. Among the guests we're a
number Of Senators and Gen. Sheridan.
Mrs. Grant and the ladies had retired from
the table and we were smoking our cigars.
Gen. Grant talked a great deal, He was in
his hsppiest mood, and l knew everybody
enjoyed him Just as much as 1 did. l don't
know how it came about, but finally we began
to go backward and talk of the time OF life
q nan would most care to live over again.
Each one mentioned some particular age when
life seemed brightest aud most desirable and
a period he would enjoy to live the second
time. Some turned back to boyhood others
to early manhood with the pleasantest recol-
lections, while to some the present was
most satisfactory. And you, generals what
part of your life would you like to live over
sgainT one of the guests asked of the Presi-
dent. Gen Grant dropped his chin on his
breast and was silent for a minute or two.

swer and tried to read it in his face, which, as
usual, was a sealed book. But we fully expect.
ed he would choose that part of his life
which had been prosperous and great. He
lifted his head and said in a voice of quite
decision that left no doubt of sincerity All
of it. should like to live all of my life over
again. There isn't any part of it l should
want to leave out"

Told by Corp. Finley Of the SD Ohio voido'eers.
One Of the chief characteristics OF Gsl.
Grant was his unostentatious manner, a trait
which endesred him TO the hearts OF bis sol
diers. While the army which was TO operate
against Vicksburg was encamped at Miliken's
Bend, on the Mississippi river, part Of my
regiment, the Eighty-th o. V. l., was dc.
tailed for duty at Gen. John A. McOlernards =

ing used for that purpose. The guards we're
stationed near the gates, from which gravel
walk led up to the house, and our principal
duty was to salute officers as they passed
through. Keeping q man on the lookout, thu
rest Of us would while away the time at
cards or mill, which was a favorite amuse-
ment. When an officer made his appearance
at the gate we fell promptly in line and gave
the salute demanded by his rank. Occasion
ally Gen. McOlernand would dash through
the gate ON q spirited horse, followed by his
retinue Of aids, when wo we're always at our
posts, with our guns to present arms One
day as some of us we're standing near the
gate, while the others were indulging in q
quiet game of mill, a soldier was seen CON-
ing toward us, walking on the raised levee
which skirts the river We paid no Atten.
tion TO him, a. he seemed simply a private,
bearing no insignia Of rank, until, a. he was
about TO enter the gates one of the boys rec
ognized the features Of G-n. Grant. A scene
OF confusion ensued. Our sergeant yelled,
Guards, turn out - and We made a hasty
scramble for our guns to do honor to our
chief. But the great General entered and
walked quietly up the path, and with kind
ly smile and wave Of the hand, said, "Nev-
eT mind, boys, never mind :" No general
was ever more beloved by bis soldiers

How wlILe. Doo,h Passed .he PIeLe,.,

"Did you ever know how Booth passed the
pickets on the bridge of the eastern branch of
the Potomac that fatal night?" said my friend.
l will tell you as it was told to me by the old
sentinel who was that night on duty there.
A half hour before the time agreed upon by
Booth to meet Harold the latter who had
lived in the ueighborhood of the bridge all
his life, and who was across the river in the
little village of Uniontown then, crossed the
bridge to come over on the Washington side.
Who goes thereP said the sentinel on the
bridge. "A friend, going fora doctor, replied
Harold. Pass, said the sentinel. He quick
ly rode up Eleventh street to Pennsylvania
avenue and Eight street, and there in the dark
ness waited until the laundering hoofs of
Booths horse were heard coming down Penn
sylvanis avenue. The two horsemen then
started down Eighth street toward the bridge
on that ride for their lives, which ended in
Gsrrett's burning barn in Virginia, hun.
dred miles away. Who goes thereP rang
out on the air from the startled sentry as the
two horses came rushing toward the bridge.
Harold was ahead and cried out, A friend,
with the doctor. The two men passed over
the bridge and 1t was perhaps several hours
after the reverberations OF the horses hoofs
bad died away before the sentry knew who
the men In such hurry really were, and when
he found it out he was nearly scared to death
for fear he had failed to do his duty. "-Phil-

The Appoma,,oI surrender.

Col Charles Marshall, chief of Gen. Lees
STAFF, speaking of the surrender at Appomat-
toX and Of the meeting OF Gems. Grant and
Lee, says: When shown into the room Gen
Grant advanced and shook hands with Gen.
Lee. The federal commander was In undress
uniform, and without side arms, while Gen.
Lee was in full uniform. Gen. Grant, by
way of apology to Gen. Lee for coming with
out his side arms, said that his sword was with
his baggage, aud because of his desire to reach
the place for the conference be had FASTENED
on in undress uniform. This was the only
allusion to q sword that was made at the inter
view. After the terms OF surrender we're set
tied Gen. Grant explained that he was advised
that Gen. Lees forces had a number Of fed
eral prisoners who, like their esptors were
out Of rations. Gen. Sheridan said that he
could supply %, 900 ratons. Gen. Grant then
instructed him to send 20, 600 rations to Gen.
Lees commissary. After the interview Gen
Lee asked for Gen. Williams aud thanked
that officer for his kindness shown to his son,
Gen. Custis Lee, who had been captured sew
eral DAYS before.

The RhadoMs.

In bleak land and desolate,
Beyond the earth somewhere,
Went wandering through deaths dark gate
A soul into the air.
And still as on and on It iled,
A wild, waste region through,
Behind there fell the steady tread
OF one that did pursue.
At last he paused, and looked abaek;
Aud then he was aware
hideOua wretch stood In his track
Deformed, aud covering there.
"And who art thou ?" he shrieked in fright,
THAT dost my steps pursue9
Go, hide thy shapeless form from sight,
Nor thus pollute my view"
The foul form answered him; galway
Along thy path dee.
I'm thine own actions. Night aud day
Still must follow thee"
