WASHINGTON, November 2S.-The Cabinet
were in session two hours und half to-day,
giving earnest attention to the questions
pending between the United States and
Spain.


1t was remarked by Cabinet officer after
the adjournment that the business was in
such condition that single telegram on
either side might change the whole course
of the proceedings.


Tonight it can be confidently said that
the question has assumed more favorable
aspect than it bore this morning and that
there are strong reasons for expecting re-
suits entirely satisfactory; and it can be
added on the sane competent authority that
although nothing has as yet been reduced
to precise terms the situation is very hope
full.


1t is probable that the press kilograms
from Havana and Madrid are withheld from
the wireSa


1t is aScertained that the ultimatum to
Spain is the restoration Of the Firginius,
salute to the flag, the release of those alive,
reparatiou to the families Of those killed,
and guarantees for the future. Should Spain
fail or be unable to enforce these terms of
the President, the West and South are for
war. The punishment Of Cuban officials or
abolition Of slavery in Cuba do not enter into

Mr. Il. d. Arnold in his annual address
at the late session of the American Dairy
mems Association, in speaking ofripe cheese,
thus stated the way to Judge Of its quality
and some Of the changes which take place in
the proper ripening:


An expert can distinguish the different
conditions of cheese at glance but consum-
srs are not generally experts Their acquaint-
ance with the characteristics of cheese is 30
slight that but few are able to distinguish
the good from the poor, and they purchase,
If they buy at all, just what happens to be
set before them. 1t is not easy to make this
discrimination with words. Experience aAd
observation must be the only true guides.
The extremes of maturity and immaturity
may be easy enough to define, but it would
be as difficult to describe the intermediate
stages as it would be to state the precise time
when an apple is ripe. But l will name
some of the external indications of fitness or
un6tness for use. The proper stage OF ripe
ness is characterized by total want OF elias
ticity when pressed with the finger. The
cheese feels as If breaking under the finger,
and the dent remains has a salvy and oily
appearance when mashed between the thumt
and finger and melts on the tongue like
ripe pear, when taken into the mouth ant
it retains, when cut, a soft, oily surface for 1
long time, not readily drying up. The Op
pOsite indications mark the unrips. indigest-
ible cheese, yiz.-Elasticity when pressed
Year: 1873

a hard or tough structure when mashed be-
tween the thumb and finger drying and
cracking readily when exposed TO the air;
harsh and dry appearance in the trier, and
want of fat and disinclination to melt when
masticated. 1t is not enough that cheese is
soft or free from Objectionable Aavors. 1t
must have its caseine changed and its tough
curd nature broken down so as to dissolve
easily. Cheese that dries rapidly on being
cut may always be relied on as not having
yielded up its curdy nature to the cheesy
fermentation, and is subject to the charge Of
difficult digestion. The water in curd is fee
bly, retained-most of it mechanically held
in minute cavities; while in ripe cheese it
enters into chemical union with the
new products formed by the more complete
fermentation, and contributes to the buttery
appearance of ripe cheese, and hence does
not evaporate SO readily.

To make Cheese hrOm LOPPered Milk.


Set the thick milk on the top of the stove,
where it will gradually scald. Stir gently
now and then. 1t should not be allowed to
boil, as that makes the curd too hard and
dry. When it is cooked so that the curd
will keep its shape after being squeezed in
the hand, it is done. Pour it into colan.
der, to let the whey drain off, and when cool
enough to handle press it in the hands to get
out the remainder of the whey. Then, to a
quart or so of the curd, take a tablespoonful
of butter, three of sweet cream, teaspoon
of salt, aud mix it well together, Then
make it into cakes or press it all into dish
together aud cut it with knife when wanted.

DR.. w. r. Sewer, of Jonesboro,

I beg leave to say that experiments

truth that the Asiatic cholera pre-
vailing is blood poisoning or I'Oricen,-
ia that the suppressed action of both
the liver and the kidneys are but the
results of such poisoning and that the
true remedy is to be found in chlorine
in some one of its muItitudinous COM
biaations.

clorine will be found a sovereign and
unfailing remedy for cholera in all its
stages. shall not assume or exhibit
any such airs or arrogance of charlat

liable importance. In future article,

The NECESSARY BASIS OF CULTURE is
not money, but content-content with out
ward things, just as they are-content, if it
must be, with what you so paintively call a
Subordinate social position" 1t seems ex-
ceedingly trite to say that a perception of
great thoughts and great harmonies ennobles
simple no less than showy life, but one
would think you did not believe it. If the
souls of Mozart and Mendelssohn are still
alive and happy in blessing, and if they min
ster to poor mortals sometimes through the
strains that abupdantly live-as what music
lover does not love to dream ?-do you sup
pose they are particular about The locality of
the street, or the furniture of the room in
which they perform their angelic service? Oh

ceive what is given us, instead of crowdipg
and struggling after the truly bonrish fashion

to get up, up, up, which eaves no time fer
thought, no room for beauty, and no breath

The LAB iLITY OF EDITORS TO THEIR
FRIENDS ?-What is the liability of an edi-
tor to his personal friends9 Strictly speaking
he should have none: should attack his own
father if he disapproves his speeches, or lash
his wlfes last book, if he thinks it rubbish.
This is, no doubt, abstractly true, as it is also
abstractly true-to steal an epigram from an
Australian who once wrote pamphlet on the
sub bject-that an editor should live in Gel
lar; but in practice men will not COM
ply with either condition, and such de-
mands would drive all men with hearts and
tempers out of the profession. 1t is never
theless, excessively difficult to find rule
that shall be morally sufficient, for silence,
though it will meet the case of book, un-
less of the first Importance, will not meet
that of grave political action. We suspect
that in this case the practice OF Parliament is
still the best guide, and that the journalist is
bound, as the statesman would be bound, to
do his duty and take the consequences. He
might be little more gentle in his language,
little more apologetic in his tone, but the
attack must not be deprived of its efficiency
for any personal consideration whatsoever

The newest fancy for arranging sashes

around the edge of the over-skirt apron; they
are then caught to the waist on each side and

IT is amusing and at the same time
must excite a feeling of honest indigna-

course of a few newspapers in this State
who rejoice in the sclf-designated title Of
Independent Press. The San Francisco
Chronicle, which of late for reasons that
we do not propose to discuss here, has
fallen into the ranks under the lead of the
Sacramento Union, daily makes itself
ridiculous by condemning Senator Sar-
gent for rewarding his friends by ap-
pointment to official positions within his
control, and then praising Gov. Booth
for doing exactly the same thing-or
worse. The only difference which we
can observe in the action Of these two
men is, that Booth removes opponents
and appoints friends in order to secure
his election TO the Senate, while Sargent
waited until he was elected before taking
this course.
