Butter Adulteration in India,

The Calcutta correspondent of The
London Times telegraphs: The bill
dealing with the adulteration of ghee
or clarified butler, which was so hur-
riediy introduced ten days ago in re-
sponse to the urgent cry of the native
the Bengal council. The scope of the
measure was considerably enlarged by
the select committee. and it will apply
not to Calcutta only but to all munich
palities in the province. 1t is to be
hoped that the panic which has prevail
ed during the last few weeks will now
subside. The reason for that panic is
apparent. Ghee enters into the COM
post on of every kind of cooked food
used by ali classes of the natives so
that its adulturation with beef or fat
meant lost of caste to Hindoos and de-
Element of Mohammedans. So great
has the panic been that it is said that
the wealthier natives have been import
irg ghee from Persia while those un-
able TO command that luxury have been
abstaining altogether from cooked food.
At the meeting of the council Euro
pean member complained that the OPP
portunity had not been taken to extend
the provisions of the bll so as to cover
articles of food used by Eropeans. But
the lieutenant governor pointed out
that this would have cntailed delays,
and stated that the government. which
was consulting the local administration
regarding the advisibility of passing q
general act to prevant the adulteration

A Prairie Dog Village.

Before leaving the valley of the yell
lowstone we passed through a village
which for the number of inhabitants
might compare favorably with many a
pretentious city in the east. The
structures, however, were neither lofty
nor magnificent yet no doubt exactly
suited to the convenience of the in!lab-
itants and built after the latest and
most approved style of prairie dog
chitecture. For mile in length and
on either side, as far as we could see
and doubtless much farther, the town
extended. The citizens appeared to be
quite wrapped up in their own affairs,
and did not allow our visit to disturb
them much. Yet we were the objects
OF some curiosity and some distrust rs
well, for these little fellows evidently
did not think it prudent to remain
lounging around on their porches after
we had approached within thirty feet
or so. but each one retired gracefully
into his own domicjle to reappear,
however, the next instant in order that
he might lose none of the sights. 1t
would seem, however, that these busy
little bodies, in spite of little shyness
at first, are really very hospitable fell
lows and not at all aristocratic in their
social intercourse, for they admit to
their houses upon terms of perfect
freedom and equality owls and rat.

John Bull and the Pig.

England's Indian empire is in dan
ger Of being uprooted by pig.
Our dispatches, the other day, stated
that an outbreak had occurred ut Delhi,
and serious trouble is feared. The
cause of the row is the adulteration OF
butter with pigs fat.
The English seem to be like the
Bourbons They forget nothing and
learn nothing. They have not forgotten
their old-time fights with their Indian
subjects over this very question. but
they have learned nothing from their
bitter experience
A revolution over grease spot seems
to be q ridiculous thing, Tut with mil
lions of the people of India grease is a
serious matter. To touch it is degrad-
ing. To eat it is to be forever deliled.
and death itself is preferable to such
infamy. Knowing the religious scnti-
ment of India. the English are doing a
very foolish thing when they tamper
with pigs fat
Only thirty years ago all India was
drenched in blood on account of this
same question. At that time many of
the natives were utilized rs soldiers in
the British army. Enfield rifles with
creased cartridges We're placed in the
hands of the native soldiers. In biting
off the end of cartridge a soldier OF
course had to touch the accursed grease
with his lips. This caused II general
rumpus. Tho officers endcavorcd TO
compromise by allowing the soldiers to
break off the ends of their cartridge
with their fingers. but the Indians re-
fused even to handle the unclean things.
Some of the mntineers were then put
in irons. The people of Meerut city
near Delhi, ros;. and liberated the pris.
oners and butchered the officers. The
rebellion spread like wild-tire. The
rebels captured Delhi. For two years
n bloody war was waged. British
valor finally triumphed. but not until
the enemy had slaughtered thousands
Of men, women and children.
So much for the pig rs disturbcr of
the peace. If John Bull proposes to
hold his Indian subjects he must let
them have their own way about pig s
fat, They are just as ready to fight
for their religious customs and pre-
judices now as they were thirty years
ago.
The fact that the recent riot was be-
tween Hindoos and Mohammedans
does not change the situation. 10 pre-
serve order the English will be com
PEELED to side ith the pig or against
him. Altogether it is terrible tangle,

Plows ana plow1ne.

The commencement of successful
and progressive agriculture dates with
the invention of the plow. 1t was at
first a very rude CONFERENCE.-The
trunk of tree with portion of two
branches attached. One was employed
to pass through the soil and the other
used as handle for guiding the opera
ton. The modern plow, made of
polished cast steel, has been evolved
from the primitive implement employ
ed by the ancient Jews. Greeks, and
Romans and still used with slight
notifications in many portions of
Asia, Africa and America. The cvo-
luton of the plow has been very rapid
during our own time. Less than fifty
wears ago the wooden plow, having a
mold-board covered with thin plates of
iron. was in general use in this
country. This was superseded in the
eastern states by the cast-iron plow.
These plows did good work in >.ls
largely composed of sand and gravel.
as they kept the iron tolerabiy smooth.
In the rich black soil of the rrairics
they did not scour. To renee, .i:i.

HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS.


"a thousand years scaroe serve 70 form a
An hour hiay lay IN the dust"
This representative man Of the South
has been with our people Of GAINESVILLE
this week, and he has visited the scenes
os his childhood in Southern Ken
lucky.
A grand historic character, he stands
among us to-day commanding public
respect by the purity ofhis private life
and by that native chiyalry which in
spired him in his youthful days to fol-
low "the old flag" through the dangers
OF the wild northwest; which in the
days OF his matured manhood nerved
him and his gallant Mississippians to
meet and hurl back the hosts OF Santa
Anna on the bloody field OF Buena
Vista, and which sustained him when
the cowardice OF Andrew johnson
caused his craven minions to fasten the
insult OF iron shackles upon him while
a prisoner in Fortress Monroe.
This grand old man has lived and
suffered with us in all our trials, and
in every event OF fortune he has been
devotedly true to our people. We
therefore, as people, honor him equal
ly rs we do the memory Of the stern
old soldier Jackson, and the boyish
heroP elham and their comrades who
on "the crested ridge OF battle" gave
up their life blood as the
sweetest libation that liberty draws
From the heart that bieeds and breaks In her
cause"
We venerate him; and our old men
and our young men, our youths and
our maidens love him as father, and
honor him MS hero whose memory
shall live along with that Of Lee, Jack
son, Polk, Cleburne and Cheatham
"Those proud spirits
Who went down like suns
Yet left, even upon the misty mountains tops
OF deBth.
A light that made them lovely"
Soon the inevitable will come, and
Cur aged and honored guest will "cross
over the river and rest under the shade
Of the trees" but his grand example
will live on through all the ages, and
the character Of Jefferson Davis will be
pointed out to the Southern youth in
coming years as the perfect embodi.
ment of the great truth that Character
is grander idea than existence, and
Duty is a nobler name than life.

Exclusively Personal.

The New York Herald, in spirit SO
kindly that only churl would cavil at
it, takes the trouble to contradict a
groundless rumor sent out from this
city with malicious intention.
There was time when the editor Of
the Courer-Journsl, standing beneath
the windows of the Herald Building,
and looking up at the young heir-ap-
parent, therein arrayed, was moved to
think, with John Leech's poor boy
surveying the boy with the plum-pud-
ding, "wouldn't it be bully to be him?"
But that time was long ago. In this
happy land OF ours it is given to each
to work out his destiny; and, whilst the
ownership and control OF great prop
erty and power, like that of the journal
founded by James Gordon Bennett,
might we'll tempt the ambition of the
most ambitious, we no more covet
them or envy their fortunate possessor,
than we covet the crown OF England
and envy the Prince of Wales. Hen

who would discharge the duties Of any
position the Legislature may give him.

quests us to announce that he would

Legislature meets in order to ascer-
tain their views on Prohibition and the
Blair bill. He wishes as many of them
as can find it convenient to call on him
in person at his elegant home, where
he is prepared to entertain them for
several days, without cost to them. BY
making speedy application to him, can
didates can get reduced rates on the
railroads from all parts CT the State to
Murfreesboro and return. Maj. Sparks
will be one of the most influential
