How THEY MAKE Butter IN BRAZIL
There are four native modes of making but
ter in the Empire of Brazil. The first is by
putting the milk in common bowl and beat
ting it with spoon, as you would an egg.
The second, by pouring the milk in bottle
and shaking it till the butter appears, when
it is removed by breaking off the top Of the
bottle. The third, where the dairy is more
extensive, is performed by filling hide with
milk, which is Justify shaken by an athletic ma
tive at each end until the butter is produced.
The fourth, which is considered to indicate
vast progress over any of the preceding meth
DDS, consists in dragging the hide or lesthern
vessel, filled with milk, on the ground after a
galloping horse until it is supposed the butter
is formed. The milk is never strained and
the butter never washed. .~ . .54s-

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The seeming ne

HIS INCENDIARY RESOLUTIONS DULY PASSED BY

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The passage by the Mary
land Legislature of the resolutions offered by Mont
gomeIy Blair has been the subject of good deal of
discussion in political circles to-day. Mr. Blair him
self appeared upon the floor of the House after
Congress met to-day and was seen in earnest con-
versation during the greater part of the afternoon
with prominent Democratic members


The Republicans are not in the least disturbed by
the passage of these resolutions. They perfectly
willing that the question of the Presidents title
shall be submitted to the Supreme Court if il be
done in legal way but they have no idea that Mr..
Blar's resolutions will have the effect to bring the
subject before the Court.


Senator Whyte, of Maryland, referring to the adOp-

humiated that the Maryland Legislature should
have done so foolish thing Mr. Blair's resolu-
tons he said have no solid foundation and he pre-
dicted that they will be as impOtent as the Popes
bull against the comet. Senator Whyte also said
that any attorney Of standing knows that the only
possible way in which the President can be removed
is through a quo warrantO filed by the Attorney
General of the United States in the Supreme Court
Of the United States and that the Legislature of
Maryland can have no more jurisdiction over the
subject than could the Common Council of the City

 We regret our own absence, not be cause we could have done anything of ourselves, but because we desired 10 De present and note the event. However we have gathered from those that were present enough to satisfy us that our farmers, and especicially those engaged in raising cattle are really interested and had some one cOnyersant with the sub ject, but taken the step to lead in the matter & better understanding would have resulted.

 In our judgment there is not a finer field in this State than this town and vicinity affords for milk producing pur- poses. Our cattle dealers are anxious 10 do something that will yield them fair return for their trouble and time, and as cattle raising is not very good paying business, it has been suggested to start 8 cheese factory, and use the beautiful and rich grass lands to keep COWS, upon and turn the milk from them into this article. which always commands a mar ket. The most serious difficulty in the way seems to be who will furnish the capital to build the factory, and put it in useful condition. To our mind this is the least importance, for there are many who can furnish the means, and we think that whoever demonstrates by figures drawn from the experience of others, that the enterprise can be made profitable, and that there are those who can success fully manage such an institution, the question of capital can soon be settled satisfactorily.
