toned by a brick wall into two rooms,
one room being 22x28 feet in which is
kept all the milk and butter. The milk
is kept in tin milk pans on open frames,
Of which there are two sets containing
some 8 or 10 shelves each and reach
ing nearly across the cellar and extend
ing from the ceiling to within about
two feet Of the floor. The butter is kept
in closet with double sides filled with
charcoal, having on the top a reservoir
filed with ice, over a zinc drip. The
atmosphere in this butter closet is kept
if we reco]lect rightly at temperature
Of about fifty degrees. Mr.. Howe in
formed me that he never has any soft
butter his butter is contracted the year
round in Red Wing at 80 cents a pound,
and we did not wonder at this in the
least when we took look at the stack
of nice, round, yellow rolls Of butter as
pure as gold, piled away in this closet.
No vegetables, nor anything else that
would tend to make the air the least
impure, is kept in this cellar. Absolute
cleanliness best expresses the condition
Of things. Arrangements are made for
warming so as to keep at the proper
temperature in the winter, and the tenn
perature is regulated by thermometer.

this summer. was not very; anxious


to take care of him, but I am under


obligations to Butterfly, and when he


asked me to keep the animal for him


while he went to the sea shore, didn t


like to refuse. Butterfly brought him


around, and turned him into the cellar,


where he could amuse himself hunting


for rats. That was on the 18th Of


June, and after that only twelve per-


sons entered the cellar. The hired


girl went down after the cold beef, and


came up, disheveled and bleeding, with


a number of appalling dog-bites in her


legs, and I descended imme-


diately afterward for the pur-


pose Of pacifying the infuriated


animal. He did not feel disposed to be-


come calm, however, and I deem it


probable that if l had not suddenly


clambered into the coal-bin, where I re-


manned until he fell asleep in a distant


corner about four hours later, should


certainly have been torn to pieces. We
thought we would have to try and get
along without using the cellar until


Butterfly could come up and take away


his dog, but Butterfly wrote to say that
he couldn't come, and the dog, after
eating everything in the cellar and bark
ing throug h all the night, finally bolted
up stairs into the kitchen on the second
day Of July, and established himself in
the back yard. Since that time we
have used the front door exclusively,
while we were waiting for Butterfly to
come up. The dog had fits regularly
and always got on the geranium bed
when he felt them coming on, and we
consequently have not enjoyed our
flowers as much this season as We hoped
to. The cherries were ripe during the
reign Of Butterby's dog, but all but
few rotted on the trees,
which were picked by
Cooley's boy, who subsequently went
over the fence in sensational manner
without stopping to ascertain what But
terby's dog was going to do with the
mouthful Of drawers and corduroy
trousers that he had removed from
Cooley's boys legs. As Butterfly did
not come up, as the dog would not
touch poison, and as 1 never shot at
him without missing him by forty feet,
l employed another and efectual means
of Kidding myself of him. We were to
have friends in the village on the
Fourth, but as it rained, the exhibition
did not take place. The man who had
charge of it had several large rockets in
his hands, and after buying eight of
those, and tying them in bunch, I con-
trived to lasso the dog and fastened the
end of the rope to the rockets. Then I
touched them off, and Butterby's dog
was sWishing round among the constel-
lations, in some doubt as to the stabil-
ity OF earthly things. He came down in
New Jersey in an underdone condition,
with his hair off. When Butterfly

The Tennessee correspondence OF the
New York Herald gives some interesting
details of the origin of the recent conflict
between the whites and blacks there, from
which it appears that the trouble had It's
origin in dispute over roast pig. About
three weeks ago the colored people OF
Pickettville had barbecue. Joe Hale, a
farmer living in the neighborhood, and
several other white men, CHANGING to pass
that way, bought pig from the negroes
tor their dinner. They ate as much as
they wanted, giving the rest of the pig to
a negro they had brought with them. This
fellow was happy for only short time,
however. for no sooner had the white men
left than the managers Of the barbecue
seized the rest of the pig, saying that it
belonged to them Hale heard OF this,
and he and his friends returned and took
the pig away from the negroes. In get
ting back the pig Hale used some violence,
which exasperated the negroes, but his
friends interfered and compelled him to
90 away with them The point in dispute
was whether he had paid for the whole
pig or only so much as he had eaten. The
negroes took the latter view of the trans
action, but Hale enforced the former, and
out OF this insignificant affair grew the
