tnlnk nave said enough to give Won some
idea of the real merits of this matter But
bad as it is, it is no worse than a thousand
other transactions among the stock gamblers;
only more conspicuous. SO long as men bet
upon the future prices of stocks and gold, so
long will they strive by every means to send
their price up or down as suits their interest.
Every one admits the fearful Generalization
Of such proceedings-but no one has proposed
the remedy. The very foundations OF society
and of government, as well as of business in
tegrity, are being eaten away by this mania
for gambling in stOcks-getting money with
out earning it,


1t is more than doubtful whether direct leg
islation can prevent it, or whether We could
get the necessary la VS. if it would. Perhaps
like the great South Sea bubble, or the wild
scheme of John Law, it must work out its
own cure, after effectng the ruin of thousands
of the innocent and unwary. Meanwhile it
may cause some to question whether our
boasted progress and 10th century civilization
is quite so grand as we sometimes think it,
Some of us will be likely to think that it is
only another illustration of the fact that hu-
man nature is essentially the same in all ages
and in all chimes. PoNoHo.

With regard to the state Of the milk
at the time of churning, 1 prefer that
the milk should not become thick all
through, but endeavor to have it in
that stage in which a small portion at
the bottom and sides Of the pan is
thick, showing that the thickening pro-
cess has commenced. If allowed to
stand until the milk is thick all
through, there is great danger Of injur-
ing the quality of the butter. At a
Temperature Of about 20 degrees it will
be best to skim every day, or at most
every thirty-six hours, If our West
Bradford correspondent will take the
trouble to skim his milk tWenty-four
hours after milking, and again in
twelve hours more, keeping the two
skimmings separate, he will find that

A correspondent Of MOOre's Rural
New Yorker makes the following good
suggestion


"In almost every paper one reads,
there is some recipe for cure Of summer
complaint, or feiOn, or some other Of
the ills belonging to the human fam
ily, as well as valuable recipes for ad-
lniDistering to the bodily wants in the
way of cooking, &c. These we all
read and often say, uweH, I'll try
that, but before we do so, the paper
is lost and the recipe forgotten. 1t
not unfrequently occurs that disease
attacks US personally, or the stock
which we care for, and Of which we
have remembrance Of reading a pre-
scriptiOn to cure we have forgotten
just what, and therefore we must send
for the doctor. To obviate this, I
have been in the habit of cutting out
each prescription for disease, cookery,
&C., that find in the papers, and at
once pasting them in scrap book, ar
ranging them under their proper
heads. AS for instance about bread
making, under the head Of bread, all
about cuts and bruises under their
head, and so on, separating diseases
under their appropriate names. The
result is that now when any direction
for cookery or remedy for disease, etc.,
is wanted, I have it at my immediate
command"

Grant is not only the son of one
tanner and the brother Of another,

another sphere Of usefulness. But
it may even be said he continued in

As long as time shall last the Hebrew

revolution and change have only wrought
out more clearly his claim and placed
him more distinctly as an object of won

every obstacle, he has at length come to
be the first citizen of the world in com
merce, finance, and the fine arts. Roths

For in this land of freedom, as in al
most every country of the globe, the
Hebrew has the largest liberty, and has
built himself home. He has become

The New York Times, which fsvors
the negro scheme for the United States,
has the following about the African
Paradise of San Domingo:


aThe latest news from San Domingo
is that the country is in anarchy, and the
prisons all full. OF course there must
be some sort of governing force in ex-
istence to keep the prisons full but
this is probably about the full extent Of
its power. 1t is painful to see such n
rich and charming part of the world
give up to ruin and savagory. 1t is
grievous to see the control of such a
country in the hands of such a people.
But we see no hold for it, And we may
rest satisfied that if there be any lower
depths of human degradation than that
which they have reached, it will not re-
quire them many years to sink to it. If
the population would resort to canni-
balism. and devour each other out Of ex-
istence, it would probably be the best
thing that could happen"

ADVERTISING PATRONAGE. = We
copy the following sensible remarks
from the jamestown On. W Journal :
"In general sense, the effort on the
part of any merchant to get trade with
out advertising is wrong to other bust
ness men in the place. Whether a man
believe in advertising or not, he will con-
cede that the newspapers are1A great
help to the place, and that Asipess
amounts to very little in places that
don't support one or more of them
Absence of newspapers is 2 bad sign for
a place, in a business pointsof view, as
absence of churches is in morals, OF
school houses in education. The men
who support the village paper do more
to build up the place, and make it pros
porous, and draw trade there, than all
other influences combined. Therefore,
the man who tries to come in and take
the benefits of that prosperity without
contributing to sustain it, tries to dead
head" on the rest of the business men,
and does thom wrong.

The Detroit Tribune gives currency


to the following singular case:


A week or two ago the wife of very
respectable mechanic res3ing on Twelfth


street in this city died after short i'll


ness, and the usual arrangements were


made for the funeral services. One oi
the city undertakers, at the request OF
the husband provided very handsome
coffin for the deceased, into which the
lifeless remains were placed, and they
were permitted to remain in room
During the ensuing night however, one
of the watchers, who had heard and read
of cases of suspended animation, and
being imbued with curiosity in the
premises, decided to ascertain for her
self whether there was any probability
of truth in such reports A favorable
opportunity presented itself for the full
/ fillment of her schemes, aud having
satisfied herself that she was really alone
with the corpse, she obtained small
/ looking glass and laid it on the face of
the. deceased. To. her great surprise
there appeared evidences of breathings
upon the face of the glass, and she re-
solved, for fear of deception, to make an
other test with another glass The opera
tion being repeated, the same signs were
manifested, and she revealed her dis
coveries to the other watchers. Each
in turn tried the glass, and each had the
satisfaction of observing precisely what
the first did


OF course in the morning the whole
affair was discussed with the family of
the deceased, and it then occurred that
a long time ago a Young man, a member
of the womans family, had died, and
previous to the burial the corpse had
actually turned over upon the side, show
ing signs of life, and the case was de-
clared to have been one of suspended
animation by the best medical testimony
that could be procured 9 Under all these
circumstances it was by the husband
deemed advisable to defer the funeral
ceremonies, and accordingly notice was
given that the interment would not take
place, at the time previously announced
The corpse was left in the coffin several
days, and upon the fifth day, after the
supposed death, signs oflife were so num-
erous that the body was removed to bed,
where it gradually became warmer, and
finally its previous deadly expression for
sock it altogether The ensuing day
the woman opened her eyes, spoke on
the third, apd she is now in fair way of
recovery. Three we'll known medical
gentlemen are now engaged in examin-
ing this case thoroughly, and when their
labors are completed we are promised
their written opinions concerning the
affair.
