The Courier des Etats Iais gives the
following account of French invulner-
able cuirass: 1t is cloth cuirass of a
tissue extremely supple and light, the
stitches of which are exceedingly close
and absolutely impenetrable. The pro-
cess of making and preparing it is a
mystery, but what appears to be claimed
is that bullets will not penetrate it; they
glance off or fall harmless. The inven.

of this. Clothed in sort of flannel vest,

UPPER AND LOWER CLASSES. In
discourse entitled, @The Misery Of
the Masses and how to resch It," the
Rev. w. N. Taylor says-aYou re-
member the touching story of the
daughter OF SIR Robert Peel. Her
father give her, as birthday present,
gorgeous riding habit and went out
with her the same day for an airing in
the park, his heart swelling with pater-
nal pride as he rode by her side.
Shortly after she sickened and died of
typhus fever of the most malignant
type; and when inquiry was made as
to how she had caught the infection,
it was discovered that the habit, pur
chased from one of the London West
end tradesmcn, had been made in 4
miserable attic, where the husband OF
the seamstress was lying i'll of fever,
and that ii had been used to cover him
in his shivering fits. Thus, whether
we will believe it or not, the safety oil
the highest is bound up with the con-
dition of the lowest; any if we neg
lect their material, moral, and spiritual
interests, there will come dreadful
Nemesis to mark the Divine displeas
ure on our conduct, and we may per-
eeive our guilt all too late, when the

Governor Hoffman of New York made
his bid as a candidate for the Presidency
in his recent message to the Legislature.
We don't see what more he could have
done to put himself in the line OF promotion
unless like Governor Seymour he had
written letter positively declining to be
a candidate. We have now three candi-
dates for the democratic nomination for
the Presidency in 1872; Pendleton on the
0reenback platform. Chase ON the ANAL
gamaton platform, and Hoffman on a
half-and-half platform. If the two former
are not wide-awalie this oily son of a Knick-
erbocker viii slip in ahead Of them and
floor them both 1t was hardly fair to
steal march upon them by taking the OPP
portunity his annual address afforded to
make a bid, but Hoffman is evidently one
who looks after the main chance.


The action of the democrats in the Leg
islature of New York, in moving at once
TO rescind the former action of that body
in ratifying the Fifteenth Amendment, is
a warning to republicans against trusting
them that 0ught to be needed. They
would defeat this amendment in every
State if they could, and remit the negro
to slavery. They would talk negro suf-
frage to carry an election as readily a@
they would escort Sambo to the polls to
oct his vote. but let them succeed in elect
ing their men and they would pronounce
the negro baboon and shackle him. To
deceive and draw into their net easily
caught republicans they would advocate
honest payment OF the debt, but once in
power the bondholders might whistle for
their pay if they had no reliance but dem-
ocratic faith. Acts like this movement in
the New York Legislature are excellent
eye-openers to repu blicans, which may save
them many a disaster. The plausible idea
that there i, no need of party now yanishes
ont Of sight before such portentous demon
strations rs this against the main article in
the republican creed. We recognise in

A New WAY TO MAKE BUTTER.--A
singular method Of making butter has
lately come into quite extensive use in
France, based upon the observed fact,
that cream is changed into butter by be
ing simply buried in the earth. The the
ory Of this result is not very ineligible,
though the fact is stated to be beyond
question; and in Normandy and other
parts Of France, butter is actually pre-
pared on u large scale in this way. The
process consists in placing the cream in a
linen bag of moderate thickness, which
is carefully closed then burying the bag
about foot and half deep in the earth
and allowing it to remain from twenty.
four to twenty five hours. After the cx
piration of this period the cream is found
to have become hard, and it is then
broken up by means Of a wooden beatel
into small pieces, and enough water
poured upon it to wash out the butter
milk. To prevent any mixture of earth
it is advisable to enclose the bag in ,
second one of larger size and coarsel
quality. This method of making butter
saves a great deal of labor, and separates
the butter more perfectly than the ordi-
nary process and we feel assured that
butter thus prepared is Of most excellen
quality.

THE USE OF SALT.-The use Of salt as
a fertilizer is not nearly as much consd
cred as we think its value demands 1t
might be applied every third or fourth
year. 1t Is the usual practice to scatter
the salt broadcast, at the rate Of four or
five bushels to the acre, alter the grain
has been put in. Many farmers who have
used it in this manner, have given their
testimony that their crop Of wheat has
been greatly increased, and the crop OF
weeds, bu.s and worms correspondingly
diminished. If this is so, it is evident
that salt performs two important Offices,
while ordinary manure performs but one.
Many Of our readers, DOUBTLESS, have a
small pasture IN which they keep COW
and occasionally turn horse. Many of
these pastures have coarse grasses grow
ing in them while in other places the
grass dries up quickly on approach OF

lures will be greatly improved, and oite"
the coarse grasses will entirely disappear

IMPORTANT TO FAhMERs, "A singular
fact seems to have been discovered 10
Kansas. The Leavenworth Commercial
has been informed by an experienced
farmer that not one kernel of corn out
Of one hundre grown this year, will
germinate. His reason for this state
ment is that there we're no hard frosts to
kill the corn.stalks until the hard freeze
came. He says that the sap was in the
stalk and ear when it froze hard, and
that the cold has destroyed the life of the
corn. If this is so, farmers will do well
to select their seed corn for next year
from old corn and put it away.


We do not know whether the same fact
obtains in this region, but it may be we'll
for our farmers to examine and see how
the matter stands.

gas which is produced by the yeast, and
the escape Of the steam which is produced
by the moisture of the heated loaf
Bread thus baked will be almost crustless
Indeed, so long as the moisture is con
fined it will be difficult burning the loa
to any great depth. The large vacuitie'
in the bread will be less numerous, though
as whole, it will be moro porous ant
therefore lighter.
