NEW Discovery IN BUTTER MAKINc.-A
method OF making butter from sweet milk:
in an ordinary churn, by which all the milk
is converted into butter, and no buttermilk
is left was exhibited to US yesterday in the
Alta office. The secret is not in the churn,
but in the addition of an innocent and pala-
table ingredient. By this invention one gall
lon of milk will make eight pounds of butter !;
the old plan of churning sweet milk will give
only one pound of butter from three gallons
of milk. so that this new invention gives
wenty-four times as much tutter from the
same quantity of milk The butter is of
good appearance, tastes well, and will keep
as long as the article manufactured by any
other process. The holders of the patent
right for this coast Messrs, Ebert & Madison)
talk as if they understood their business, and
to prove their statements. will churn in the
presence of anybody. The patent for this
discovery was issued to Mrs. D. II. McGreg-
ory, of Detroit, Michigan, the discoverer, and
the holders of the right for this coast are willi
ing to sell county. State or Territorial rights
to use the invention. Later in the afternoon
there was an exhibition on larger scale
twelve pounds of butter made from twelve
pints of milk. This is very valuable in
vention for the owners Of daries.-Altd.

MODERN DEMocRACY.-The Irish Republic;
the leading and most able Irish American
newspaper published in this country, has
the following answers and questions as to
what is Democracy Who compose this mis-
called Democratic party that has kept the
nation in the throes Of dissolution since the
close of the war? There is not a man in the
land who raised his sword to strike down
liberty that is not arrayed in its ranks y
There Is not man who secretly prayed and
plotted for the success of rebellion that is not
member ofitl ! There is not a rufhan who
roamed the cities of the North, when treason
lifted its coward hand to stab the nation in
the back-h0wling like a savage for blood,
and numbering all who by their color or ex=
ated principles excited his barbarian feroci-
ty-but is a member of the party. Democ.
racy, that once was pure as the Goddess Of
Liberty, has become the social eviP' of the
body polite. She arrays herself in the robes
of the harlot. and painted in shamefulness,
goes into the dens of vice and sells her person
to gain popularity with the vulgar. She is
cheered in the rat-pit. She is befouled in the
embraces of the brutal bully of the prize
ring. The dainty-gloved gambler, who ham
dies the dice box, or cuts throat, is her
fancy man. In a word, she is the idol of
crime. and her home is the sewers of the
cities and the sinks of the nation.

LOCKING UP GREENBACks. The New
York correspondent of the Chicago Journal
gives the following expose of one of the
tricks of the stock speculaters in the me-
trcpoiis


You have observed this expression fire.
quently of late in the New York papers
1t alludes to the last species of sharp prac-
tice in Wall street. IT spectators can
make tight money market, the price OF
railway shares declines, and having sold
short in advance, they reap the benefit
of the fall. Though there are several modes
OF locking up money, the following is the
one praeticed he-e. 1t was resorted to for
the first time two years ago, and has since
been successfully tried twice. Say, for ex-
ample, several capitalists or SPECTATORS
club their railway stock together to the
amount of 81, 200, ,000 This stock is taken
to some bank, say the Fourth National,
and given as collateral security for mill
ion of greenbacks they then proceed to
another institution and borrow at per
cent interest one million more of green
backs, giving the first million as security.
The security cannot be used by the bank,
and is thus locked up, with the second mil
lion of dollars this obtained, the clique
proceed to another bank, and in the same
manner lock UP another million of dollars.
They continue this game until they have
locked up six, or eight OF tea millions OF
dciiars. In the meanwhile they have sold
large amounts of stock, and when the fall
comes they jump in and cover, and realize
hundreds of thousands of dollars A
scheme OF this character has materially
aided in causing the tight money mar
ket which the sfeet has just expcrienc-

E6T We do not, as general thing, take
the trouble of replying to all the silly twad-
die that our shallow pated, penny whistle
neighbor puts in the columns OF his dish
water concern, but he has harped so much
OF late upon tho Pilot aud the editorial
writing Of the Pilot that we think word
now upon the subject would be in season.


Foremost, then, We say that the Pilot is
owned, edited and controlled by him who
established it, and that the editor of the
Pilot has both the manhood and decency to
ho'd himself responsible for all that appears
in its columns, as editorial-and does not,
like the Tribune man, seek to throw infamy
and disgrace on any Junior eonnected with
its management and whether the articles
which appear in the Plot, as editorial, are
written by oursef, our lab'e as
sistant, Mr.. READ, or anybody else. is a
matter of no concern at all to the people
it is enough for the public to know that all
editorial matter that appears in the Plot
without signature. is made ours, and is
ours, whether it flags the penny whistle
man 'sor any other man.


If the weak>minded, thin skinned crea-
ture, who has the controlling management
OF the Tribune will confine his dawdling ef-
forts to the conduct of his own disreputable
Smut Machine and let bis betters alone he
would do wise thing Tor his publicreputa-
ton.


Be advised, penny whistle, and attend to
your own business.

Triplett, dealers in Agricultural Imple-

warehouse in this village, and propose to
keep an assortment Of machinery constant
ly on hand. We were down examining
their Badger sulky corn plow and corn
planter the other day. The corn plow
appears to be very perfect machine it
is so arranged that it can be used in all
kinds of ground, on side hills, in grubby
or rocky land, in mellow ground or among
sods. The corn planter is new INVENTION
in these parts. 1t plants two hills at q
time, and two men or boys with span
of horses can plant 16 acres per day. We
understand that the agents are willing to
let the farmers take them on trial before
purchasing.

On Tuesday next the voters of the vii.
lage of Dodgeville will be called upon to
decide this important question: Shall the
village of Dodgeville and the. beautiful
country around it die natural death? Or
shall it revive, flourish, increase and grow
rich, and more beautiful? This is most
certainly fair way of putting it, for if the
tax is voted down, our village, which has
for years been in state of lethargy and
sleep, will most surely sink and die. The
place being nothing but an inland mining
town without market for produce, it will
gradually follow other mining towns, bust
ness will decrease, business men will seek
other localities, property will be almost
worthless, and Dodgeville, like Dover and
old Helena in this county will be village
of the past. But if the vote is in the affirm
atiye-for life-and if the bonds are issued,
the money raised and the railroad built,
we shall have one of the best, prettiest and
most f1ourishing villages in the west. Our
mining interests, which if properly worked
are second to no other locality in the state,
will be thoroughly, and without doubt
profitably proved and worked. Our farm
ing lands, more than half of which is not
yet enclosed, will yield their yearly har-
vests to enrich the place. In fact every
thing we can raise or make for sale will
bring a better price, and everything we
need to buy will be cheaper. Property
which otherwise would be almost worth
less, will be saleable at a greatly advanced
price. And the issue is actually an issue
between the life and death of our village,
and On the prosperity of the village mate
rally depends the prosperity and conse-
quent value of the country surrounding it.


The tax will at first be quite burden
some, but no great work can be accom-
plished without sacrifice, and the amount
to be raised will be so distributed through
the next ten years, that with the rise in
the value of property, and the large acces.
sions of capital which we shall receive from
abroad, the tax will not be very heavy or
unusually burdensome, and can all be paid
without danger of bankruptcy or protract-
ed embarrassment.


Therefore, let US vote the tax, let us
raise the money, and let us build the road,
and our future prosperity will be ensured.
