CHEESE MADE FROM POTATOES.


A foreign paper says cheese is made
from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxo-
ny in the manner described below.
Possibly the process may be found
worth trying in this country: After
having collected a quantity of pota-
toes of good quality, giving the pref
erence to large white kind, they are
boiled in a caldron, and, after becom-
ing cool they are reduced to pulp,
either by means of a CRATER or a NOR
tar. To FIVE pounds of this pulp,
which ought to be as equal as possible,
is added one pound OF sour milk and
the necessary quantity of salt. The
whole is kneaded together, and the
mixture is covered up and allowed to
lie for three or four days, according
to the season. AT the end of this time
it is kneaded anew, and the cheeses
are placed in little baskets, when the
superfluons moisture escapes. They
are then allowed to dry in the shade,
and placed in large vessels, where they
must remain fifteen davs. The older
the cheeses are the more their quality
improves. Three kinds are made
the first and most common is made as
detailed above; the second, with four
parts of potatoes and two parts of cur
died milk the third, with two parts
of potatoes and four parts of cows or
ewes milk. These cheeses have this
advantage over other kinds, that they
do not engender worms, and kept free
for number of years, provided they
are placed in a dry situation and in
we'll closed vessels.

Thenext evening, when Mr.. Brown
brought back from the store no less
than five red hairs on his coat collar,
Mrs. Brown broke a pie plate over his
head, and leaving him weltering in
| dried apples, put on her bonnet and
left the house.


Mrs. Smith on the same evening,
found four of the my sterious red hairs
on her husbands coat, but she refrain
ed from violence, and merely telling
him that she would not believe in his
innocence ii he were to swear till he
was black in the face, called loudly for
her sainted mother, and was about 10
faint when Mrs. Brown burst into the
room. Mr.. Smith, like wise man,
left the room, and the two ladies con-
ffded their wrongs TO each other.


When Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Smith
met next day the former confessed TO
the latter that he was in terrible
scrape. Confidence begot confidence,
and they soon became convinced that
they were the victims of frightful
conspilacy, o which some unknown
wearer of red back-hair was q party.
Their distress was increased early in
the afternoon by the appearance of
their respective wives, who walked up
and down the opposite side of the
street for hours, each carrying a con-
spicuous rawhide, and evidently lying
in wait for the imaginary red-haired
woman.


Messrs. Smith and Brown felt that
they were ruined men, and that tre-
mendoos scandal was about to over
whelm them. They even wished they
were dead.


About o'clock p. M, Mrs. Smith
clutched her companions arm and
bade her listen to small boy who
was relating one of his recent crimes
to youthful companion.


Ijust picked up that hair remarked
the wicked youth, and put some of it
on old Smiths and Browns coats. I
kept putin it on every day, and you
just bet they ketched it from their
women when they went home. Smith
he is solemn as an owl, and old Brown
looked as though he Was going to be
hung


The remains of the boy were re-
moved by the Constable, and the
Smith aud Brown families are once
more united and happy.

and there are very few whose


thresholds either of his assail-


ants have ever been permitted


to cross in social intercourse


He is accused, from time to time,


of having been run out Of San


Francisco for assailing the char
acter and rejoicing at the death
Of Abraham Lincoln, and is prob
ably the only man in Washing
ton Territory to whom was sent
a special invitation to partici-
pate in the ceremonies Of unveil-
ing the Lincoln monument at
Sprintield, Illinois; the Governor
Of the State, through whom the
invitation came, we'll knowing
the history and character of the
man to whom the invitation was
extended, and whose sense Of
Dropriety would not have per
mitted him to ask a defamer of
the deceased to join in tribute
to his memory.


Two of. the editors alluded to
assume to be organs of the Dem
ocratic party and the other pre-
tends to speak for the Republican
party, and all rely solely upon
party for pecuniary support and
social recognition. The object
Of their combined vituperation
has no party at his back, and
stands squarely upon his own
manhood for any position accord
ed to him by his fellow citizens,
and NJ man in this Territory has
ever received greater or more
conclusive proof Of popular con
tidence and esteem. These are
facts which no respectable man
will attempt to gain say, and the
inevitable corollary is, that the
community is hopelessly igno-
norant and debased, or that these
editors who assume to represent
public sentiment are malicious
" I'd shameless liars, with whom
no person with any sense of de-
cency can hold social intercourse
without personal degradation,
and no political party can sus-
tain without dishonor.

1t is a popular theory that
thieves are actuated by a sense
of honor in their dealings with
each other, but that virtue can
not be accorded to politicians, as
is illustrated in a recent case. A
man not remarkable for acute
ness, but with a negative char
acter for harmlessness, was some
time since inveigled into per-
mittlng the use of his name as
the figure head of a newspaper,
ostensibly Democratic, under the
representation Of his designing
advisers that it would give him
an influence aud prominence
which he could not achieve in
the practice of his profession.-
From the beginning he has been
made the instrument of his ad-
visels, with no more personal
sympathy with their purposes
than has the unsexed keeper of
Of q Turkish harem with the
objects of his care. Politics, or
political principles, have been
entirely ignored in the paper at
the head Of which his name ap-
pears as the responsible editor,
and party names have only been
used to give point to personal
diatrlbes to which the paper has
been exclusively devoted with
out party discrimination. 1t has
been used by anonymous Repub-
licans to defame the character of
Democrats, and been the medi-
um Of rival Republican party
cliques in assailing each other.
The nominal editor is finally
called to account for malicious
libel in an action at law for per-
sonal damages, and is made to
realize the fable of the monkey
and the cat, that his fingers have
been burned without any share
in the plunder. He first applies
Year: 1878

to his old Republican partner, a
leading member of the clique in


whose behalf the alleged libel


was committed, to defend the
suit, who coolly demanded fee
of $1,000 as the only condition
upon which he would defend the
instrument of himself and his
associates for an act instigated
in their interests, the gentleman
referred to having too much wife
and family to support to allow
of his doing gratuitous service
in his profession. Another dis
tinguished Republican lawyer
and politician, who had secretly
used the paper, not only to assail
personal enemies in his own par
ty but to defeat his Democratic
opponent, was applied to, and
positively refused to have any
thing to do with the case, even
for retainer. Not one Of the
men who have used him for the
most degrading service during
eth past year, offer any assist
ance to relieve hlm from the
penalties and obloquy they have
brought upon hIn.. No enemy
could desire for him Il more alb
jecl and pltiable fate, though his
friends cannot deny that he we'll
deserve, 1t. The only redemp-
ton for him now is in works
meet for repentance. No one
believes him to be the chief
criminal in publications which
have outraged public decency
and social propriety, but that he
is mere instrument in the hands
Of more designing villains who
would blush at an exposition Of
their own handiwork. If he
will make clean breast Of it,
give up his principals, who have
betrayed and deserted him, that
they may bear the penalty and
public odium OF their own acts,
the public will regard his weak,
ness with greater leniency.

The higher up men go the more
imperative becomes the necessity
that they should live on; every high
impulse, every sense of dignity and
worth IN mankind calls out for i'm
mortality. Do you say that calling
out for 1t is not evidence OF it?

The character Of 4 portion OF
our newspaper press as organs
of public sentiment, is illuStra-
trated in the joint efforts of three
of the ostensible editors-Merry,
Prosch and Blanchard-Yho
for the past year have .rvo-
ted their best ability to belit-
Ting and detaming the character
of citizen, who, if one half they
have severally and jointly pub
lished of him is true, ought to be
IN the penitentiary, poor house,
or insane ASYLUM, for he would
certainly be unfit for social inter-
course with any decent people,
and would inevitably be exclud-
ed from the houses of all persons
possessed of any self-respect.-
He is represented rs scnile, sot-
tish, worthless, characterless and
friendless. No convicted felon.
or degraded vagrant has - en-
the object of more opprobrious
vituperation, a? uniting to spe-
cific and circumstantial charges
of felony by of the trio, en-
dOrsed in inuendo by the other
two.


Fit should appear that these
charges are true, then the logical
conclusion would follow that
community which not only toll
crates but honors a character SO
infamous, must Of necessity be
utterly debauched and degraded.
If, on the other hand, it should
appear that these charges are
baseless, it follows as a matter
of course that their originaters
are base and malicious libellers,
who pollute the social atmos-
phere by their vile effusions. 1t
is a principle of law that all per-
sonal II nis are to be detcrmir-
ed by jury Of the vicinage, and
to that arbitrament we present
the following weIlknown facts:
The person so persistently held
up to public odium as degraded
and infamous character, is the
only man ever elected Chief
Clerk of the Territorial Council
by the unanimous vote of Coun-
cilmen representing both politi-
cal parties in near..J equal num-
bers. Near the close of the same
session of the Legislature, he
was elected a Regent Oh the Uni
versity by the unanimous vote
of the members of the Legisla-
ture in joint convention, and
subsequently was elected Presi-
dent Of the Board by the unani-
nous vote of the Regents. He
was appointed Clerk Of the L. S.
Court on the recommendation
and endorsement Of the Republi-
can Territorial Committee, near

Under the new statutes it is now
the law that each surety must make

Resolved that all bonds given by
