shrill feminine cries of "Oh, You
brute :" " You nasty thing and
so on.


A happy thought occurred to
one of the ladies, who had with
one accord taken sides with the
pastor. She started the doxology,


Praise God from whom all blessings How,


Praise him all creatures here below.


"Oh, that's all right" said the
relentless denunciator. 81 can
wait; that's only four lines long"


He bided his time oordingly,
and when the singing was done
read, amid many interruptions, a
paper reciting, in detail, charges
against the morality of the pastor.


Meantime the object of their OBJ
jurgation, the Rev. Bott, not hay
ing succeeded in getting any one
tomoye an adjournment, concluded
to himself adjourn. He got down
from the pulpit and ran hastily
through his excited flock out Of the
door into the street.


But as he darted from the church
he was met by an elderly man who
had been lying in wait for him,
and who is said to have been the
outraged father, who sought an
opportunity of revenge upon the
alleged destroyer of his happiness
This man gave chase to the flying
Bott, joined by a young lady, who
is declared to have been the daugh-
ter of the elderly stranger, and who
had followed the pastor from the
church. The fair one soon gave
up the chase, but the parent fol
lowed the fugitive down Richmond
street toward Frankford road, max
ing good time. But he was handi-
capped by the heavy cloak in which
he was muflled, and besides, he did
not have what racing men cal
good bottom" or what oarsmer
call "stay." His wind was giving
out, yet he might have caught hi'
heet-footed antagonist had he moi
dropped his false teeth. Stopping
to pick up these necessary but un
ornamental articles, he lost The
race. What became of him and
Bott afterward is not known.


But the subsequent proceeding
in the church were more violent
than ever Three times was Tho
paper snatched from the hands o
the accuser and torn, and as many
times did he produce another cop,
from his coat-pocket. Finally tn,
reading was finished, a tempordr,
chairman was appointed by tht
gentlemen present, and a resolution
passed to make an investigation.

"you'll acknowledge it's the best
liquor any man can drink, and one
thaFll do him no harm on Sunday
or any day." The church member
saw he had been cleyerly taken in,
and demanded his two dollars; but
Barney declined to refund, and was
sustained by the magistrate, who
knew how to appreciate a joke; and
the consequence was, after that at
tempt to interfere with his business,


Barney was let alone.

At meeting of the Louisiana re-
publican delegation in Cincinnati on
Tuesday, Mr, Pinchback broke forth
in his wrath and gave fair notice as to
his opiuion of the President and Mr.,
Conkling. The burden of his speech
was that,if the republican patty wants
to keep the votes of the colored people
of Louisiana it must give them a
larger share in the offices. He as
cribed his own defeat in the Senate to


a mortal fear on the part of the Sena-
tors that he would, if permitted to take
seat in that body, bring his wife to
Washington and insist upon her mix.

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmUYE


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The stories that the troops
were ordered here from apprehensons of disturb
ance at the time of the Democratic procession on
the 29th are incorrect. 1t was not known at the
War Department when tho troops were ordered
here that there was to be such procession. The
Secretary of War and Gen Sherman are annoyed
at the excitement throughout the country, and the
sensational rumors concerning these troops. Their
annoyance is perhaps in part due to their persistent
denial of facts which subsequently became evident
1t was the manner in which they caused the troops
to be brought here, rather than the arrival OF the
troops themselves, that produced the commotion
The eight batteries now here although technically
known as batteries, because they are component
parts of artillery regiments have not a single field
piece among them. They have been acting as in
fantry and are armed with the regulation small
arms of that branch of tine military service.

The Practical Farmer says it is ad-
mitted by butter makers Of extensive
experience that impurities and noxious
odors in the atmosphere where cream is
rising will injure the flavor Of the but
ter. x. A. Willard writes on this
subject that "when mixers are allowed
to come direct from the stable to the
milk-room, it is impossible to keep the
latter place sweet for the time being"


There are hundreds Of butter makers,
we are aware, on whom the importance
ofthis single point cannot be too strong
ly urged, since they consider many lit
tie things of this kind in regard to dairy
management too insignificant to merit
attention. But in butter making the
observance Of little things is often the
great secret Of success


There is no doubt that immense
quantities Of poor butter are made from
the milk set in improper places. The
kitchen pantry, the living-room, the
cellar used to store vegetables and other
family supplies. will impart peculiar
taints to the milk and cream, in such .
degree as to be destructive to flavor,
even though the butter ip other respects
be skillfully handled. Dairy rooms 50
situated as to catch the odor Of decom-
posing filth, cannot be used for making
good and sweet butter. There. should

some point outside the milk room, and
from thence conveyed to the place

the fumes and the litter from the stable
may be kept from the milk-room.


The causes Of poor butter arc various,
the most important Of which are lack Of
cleanliness. and the want Of proper
dairy utensils. the need Of good dairy

lect in manipulating the cream at the

Of knowledge in part or whole Of the

The question as to when and how 2
meadow can be grazed without injury
to the succeeding crop Of grass is de-
serving Of more attention than it
generally receives. The revolution
that has taken place in the minds Of
practical farmers as to the advantage OF
cutting grass as we'll as grain earlier
than formerly is very favorable to
meadows, and at the same time is pro-
motive Of q fine growth Of after-feed,
to be fed to stock or moved as second
crop. As is often observed, some
farmers SO overstock their farms as to
be induced to turn their cows on the
meadow Immediately after securing
their hay crop, hoping thereby to in
crease the dairy product sufficient to
Offset any damage done the meadow:
InVshis way the meadow is kept gnawed
down to the roots Of the grass, with
nothing left to shield it from the effects
Of winter, and little or no chance to
recuperate itself in time for an early
start in the spring.


Some farmers, however, and we
think with far better judgment, pur-
sue a somewhat different course from
the one Just described. They choose
to- keep their stock off their meadows
until much later in the season, let the
second crop grow until it is well ad-
vanced. and. il pastured at all, allow
but small portion Of the aftermath to
be eaten of, leaving enough to form
good protection for winter, and to ope-
rate as a mulch to assist an early
start in the spring. Some, again,
choose to NOW the second crop. This
may be admissible if done in season to
admit third crop TO start, with the
aid Of . slight top-dressing Of some
kind Of fertilizer. after the removal Of
the second crop, and being careful to
allow no hoof access to the meadow, even
for day, in spring. Others. though
but few, prefer to let the second crop
remain on the ground. This may do
for meadows that have been starved, or
yield but light crops Of grass. but for
vell-fed meadows, there would not only
be danger Of too heavy mulch, but
the dense aftermath would prove an
excellent harbor for mice. On the
whole, there is not much impropriety in
pasturing meadow lightly in the fall,
but not until October, and then for .
few weeks only. But on no account
should hoof be allowed to 60 on it
in the spring. or it will most assuredly
be at the expense Of the hay crop
