.Milking Itnttcp In Summer.
The first thing requisite to making
good butter is to have good cows, good
pasture, good water, aud salt for the
cows twico a week. Next, good man
agement of the milk. The milk should
be cooled immediately after milking, that
it may keep sweet longer and yield more
cream. The pails used in milking should
be (if tin, as it is impossible to cleanse
woodeu pails so perfectly that they will
not impart some degree of acidity to the
milk. Nothing receives a tint more easi
ly thau milk or cream, and all bad odors
absorbed by the milk will be retained bv
the butter. A cool spring-house is best
to keep milk in, or a cool cellar (not too
iiamp) having all decayed vegetable mat
ter removed. Washing the walls with
lime will greatly aid in keeping it pure.
Wash the vessels used in warm water,
inside and out; then scald with boiling
water, and place in the sun. The churn,
butter bowl and ladle should be washed
.and scalded with equal care. Sunshine
and pure air are all that ought to stand
in the churn between churning times.
The milk should be skimmed as soon as
the cream has risen. If left too long the
surface will become watery; while under
neath, the cream is rapidly yielding to
the corrosive ocid in the milk, and be
comes a thin watery substance, neither
cream nor milk. The best plan then is
to give it to the p'gs. A good plan is to
save the strippmsrs say a pint from each
cow cooling it perfectly before putting
it in the cream jar: stir well each time
new is added.
In regard to working butter, there is a
great difference of opinion. Experience
has taught us it should be worked but
once, and then gently. It is composed
of minute globules, which are crushed by
too much working, making the butter
greasy. We are not in favor of washing
butter if it can be avoided; use pure salt
which is perteetly white and will dissolve
in cold water, leaving no sediment. The
brine will be perfectly clear, having no
bitter taste. An ounce to a pound of
butter is enough, as too much salt de
stroys the delicate flavor of good butter

Danger of Sleeping iu the Moonlight.
Tho evil consequences liable to result
from exposure to a burning sun are only
too well understood ; but it is, perhaps,
not so generally Known that in many
parts 01 the world, notably in India,
there is a strong and very general pre
udico against sleeping in lull moon
shine, as it is supposed to produce
" moonstroke. An old Indian resideut
has recently been devoting his attention
to the subject, and comes to the con
clusion that any ill effects arising from
sleeping in the moonlight are not due to
any direct influence of the moon itself,
His explanation of the origin of this pre
valent Deiiet m the baieiul qualities of
the goddess of night is very rational.
and may be summarized thus : A clear
sky admits of rapid radiation, and any
. 1 A- 1.
peiHuu exposeu 10 sucn rauiauon is sure
to be chilled by rapid heat. There is
reason to believe that, under the circum
stances, paralysis of one side of the face
is sometimes likely to occur from chill.
as one side of the face is more likely to be
exposed to rapid radiation, and conse
quent loss of heat. The chill is more
likely to occur when the sky is perfectly
clear and in full moon. The whole mat
ter thus comes clear on this explana
tion. Prolonged exposure to cold is
almost certain to produce headache,
neuralgia, or even paralysis, owing to
the retardation of the circulation, and
these similar injuries have! been attribu
ted to the moon when the proximal e
cause may really have been the chill,
which will always be the greatest on the
very clear nighte.
The MalkaMlily of (-'old.
Mr. A. E. Outerbridge, Jr., of the
Philadelphia assay office, has recently
given an exuixipla of tho infinite divisi
bility of matter, by exhibiting before
the Franklin institute some thin films of
gold obtained by eloctrio deposition
upon copper and afterward detached.
These pieces of gold leaf were transpar
ent, and gave a green color to trans
mitted light. Mr. Outerbridge has thus
produced films of gold so thin that one
grain of the metal would cover nearly
four square feet. This is 10,000 times
thinner thau ordinary paper ; and 2,708,

A WOMAN'S HEIiOIC FIGHT.
Three Pioneer Mnmnfred by Inillnii In Ilia
Black Mill.,
A Correspondent eives a thrilling ao-
count of the horrible massacre of two men
and a woman by Indians in the l?lack
Hills: An eve-witnessi who was cutting
hay within ft quarter of n milo, tells
how it occurred. He says that hearing a
succession of rapid shots fired over the
bluff from where he was mowing, he got
up on a high timbered elevation and saw
about twenty Indians engaged in a fight
with two men and a woman who occu
pied an ox train. The men defended
themselves gallantlv against the great
odds. They were well-armed, aud fought
as only men nght for their lives. The
Indians, instead of coming up in a body,
broke in every direotion and surrounded
the wagon, keeping Up a constant trail
of bullets upon the poor unfortunates.
Three of the oxen were first to fall.
Waggomen, the owner of the outfit, and
the husband of the ladv, next was shot
through the head. Mrs. Waggomen
seized her husband s revolver aud dis
charged the contents among the Indians,
who were now close upon the wagon.
After she had emptied the weapon she
flung it full in the face of a burly savage
who was reaching over the wagon to
grasp her. He reeled back but others
took his place.
Mr. Tyner, the other man, was quick
ly finished, aud there remained but the
lady to deal with. The Indians had
since the beginning of the conflict been
careful not to injure her, and their bul
lets were directed chiefly toward the two
men. The poor woman, knowing her
probable fate, fought like n tigress,
clutching an empty gur aud striking
right and left, but to no avail. She was
finally overpowered and brought to the
ground, but the woman fought so hard
that they procured some tent stakes
which were in the wagon and Btaked the
limbs and body of the poor woman firmly
to the ground. After they had accom
plished their horrible deed they took her
scalp and horribly mutilated her, and
then dispatched her. The shrieks of the
woman could be heard distinctly where
my informant was lodged, powerless to
help and almost dead with fear.
When the savages began sacking the
wagon they observed the witness of their
cruelty standing on the bluff, and two
of them started iu pursuit. He, how
ever, made good time, and succeeding in
reaching Crook, about nine miles off,
without falling into their clutches.
Soon after the massacre the Bismarck
stage rolled by the fatal spot. There
were no Indians in sight, and the pas
sengers were horrified at seeing the sight
before them. Both of the two men had
been scalped and their ears and noses cut
off. The bodies of the poor unfortu
nates were taken to Crook and there in
terred. They belonged to Brainard,
Minn., and had come into the Hills early
this spring, made their little stake and
were on their way home when the fatal
accident befell tnem.
A Legitimate Business.
Well-directed energy and enterprise
are the lilc of American progress ; but,
if there is one lesson taught more plain
ly than others by the great failures of
hite, it is that safety lies in sticking to a
legitimate business. Ho niauutocturer,
trader or banker has any more right to
be bo energetic and enterprising as to
tako from his legitimate business the
capital which it requires to meet any
emergency.
Apologies are sometimes made for
firms who have failed, by recurring to
the iniportaut experiments they have
aided, and the unnumbered fields of en
terprise wher3 they have freely scattered
their mousy, We are told that individ
ual losses, sustained by these failures,
will be nothing compared with the
benefits conferred on the community by
their liberality in contributing to every
public work. There is little force in such
reasoning. A man's relations to a credi
tor are vastly different from his relations
to what is called the public. The de
mauds of the one are definite, the claims
of the other are just what the ambition
of the man may make them.
The histories of honorable, successful
business men unite to exalt the import
ance of sticking to a legitimate business,
and it is most instructive to see that, in
the greater portion of the failures, the
real cause of disaster was the branching
out beyond a legitimate business, in the
taking hold of this and that tempting
offer, and, for the sake of some great
gam, venturing where they did not
know the ground, and could not know
the pitfall.
Another Distressed Nobleman.
A tramp came along the other day,
says the Bridgeport Standard, and con
fided to the impressible better half of a
farmer on the road that he was a count,
who was traveling through the country
in this humble way seeking a true heart
which he might win and take back with
him to share in the revenues of his
immense estates in Italy. He begged
that she Wouldn't mention the fact, as it
might interfere with his cherished plan
of being loved for himself alone. She
promised not to say a word aboiit it, and
invited the count to stop with them all
night, giving him the best bed in the
house and the seat nearest the beefsteak
at the supper table. The meal was quite
a revelation to her in the matters ot the
table habits of the nobility of .Europe,
but the discovery she made in the morn
ing was still a greater eye-opener. His
lordship had departed in the small hours.
taking with him, probably as cherished
souvenirs, the larger portions of the bed
linen, the tanner s best boots, an old
horse-piBtcl and half a ham. He left a
scrawling misspelled note, that he must
away, as his passionate longing for the
true heart of which he was ever in search
would not let him rest until they were
united. The tarmer loaded his shot gun.
took the road, and was gone two days,
but didn't find the count. He must have
gone back to his estates in Italy.
Fashions in Turkey.
Writing under a recent date from
Constantinople a correspondent says :
I told you some time ago that a sumutu-
ary law hud been issued against the use
by the women of thin yashmaks, fashionably-cut
ferajees, and high-heeled
jrrencn boots. When this law was
promulgated the detective police were
instructed to stop any woman who did
not conform to it, to demand her ad
dress, and having obtained it, to proceed
to her house, and when there to warn
her relatives of the impropriety of her
conduct. The women, however, would
have been unworthy of their sex and
their country if- they had not proved
themselves more than a match for .the
police. The detectives now complain
that when they have accosted a culprit
1 1 I i 5 1 -II .
ana nave ouiaiuea an address irom her,
they have almost invariably found, on
visiting the house named by her, that
she had given them a false address, and
that nothing but derision and contumely
awaited them. It is now announced
that in future the police will follow
every culprit to her house, and then tiii
there demand epeesh ef her lord -

THICK 1' RUSSIAN SOHDIERS.
A Itnlit on a Nniisnnc nml n Mioiikeeper's
Inilluiinllnn-Thr Cnmiirk Who wns
ltcmlmled of lli-i I'nllirr.
A war correspondent, writing from
Olteuitza on the Danube, gives the fol
lowing incidents of the manner in which
the Russian Boldiers on duty there some
times "getoveu" with the grasping
natives :
Tho forced quiet of this little town is
at times oppressive "When a whole day
has passed without a single shot from
either line of the batteries frowning at
each other along the river bank the con
versation in tho little enfe gets dull and
spasmodic, and at last flickers and goes
out like a burned up candle, simply for
want of something to feed it. . It was,
then, with an approach to excitement
that we, who had no other occupation all
the forenoon than shifting our chairs
around the corner of the cafe as the
shadow moved with the advancing sun,
saw a crowd of infantrymen gather at the
door of the little shop opposite and
heard the noise of a dispute within grow
louded and louder. Discussions be
tween the soldiers and the natives are
not by any means infrequent, and if there
had been any other diversion I should
not have paid the least attention to the
one of which I speak. However, when
the mayor of the town a short, thick
set, active little body, who now finds
no other field for the exercise of his
authority except the ever-recurring dif
ferences between the citizen and soldier
went across the street through the
blazing sunlight and mingled his high
keyed voice with the chorus I thought it
time to investigate the affair myself.
The situation was too ludicrous. There
stood the sharp-featured shopman, his
dark eyes fairly flashing with rage,
flourishing a large sausage at a mild
looking infantryman, who on his side
had a piece of the same kind of sausage,
but only about a third as long. I
thought I could see a hint of a smile
under the soldier's white mustache and
a twinkle in his gray eyes, but until the
mayor has summoned the colonel from
his quarters opposite and the shopman
was paid and the crowd disperse I had
no idea of the cause of the disputed, be
ing totally unable to seize enough words
of the jargon of Russian and Roumanian
that was flying about to make one com
plete phrase.
It turned out that the soldier went
into the shop with a couple of comrades
to buy a sausage. He made his bargain,
put the sausage under his left arm and
took out his purse to pay for it. Before
he put the money down he asked the
price again. " Four francs," says the
shopkeeper. " Four francs for this
piece of bad sausage," yellsvthe soldier,
holding out to the astonished native a
piece only about one -third of the whole
sausage ho had that moment stowed
uuder his arm. " Take your old sausage,
you thieving native," and he started
to overtake his comrades who were by
that time half way up tho street. But
the native was too quick for h m and
held him until a crowd gathered and
the affair terminated as I have described.
The trick was a shrewd one. but a little
"too thin" to deceive even a Walla
chian. The two comrades had in ac
cordance with a previous agreement,
taken the opportunity while there was a
dispute about the price to cut on the
longer part of the sausage which ap
peared from the soldier's arm behind,
and made their way to the camp with
their booty. This mild species of rob
bery is not rare, and one must sym
pathize with the soldiers more or less in
their attempts to get even with the na
tives, for in all matters of trade the sol
diers invariably get worsted. Their
paper money is taken for only two-thirds
its real value ; the moment a soldier
enters a shop door the prices rise two or
three per cent, or more, and it is gener
ally "Take or leave it "with the shop
man, who takes advantage of the need of
the soldier to drive a sharp bargain. Very
few cases of open robbery have come
uuder my notice, and the only instanoe
of skillful thievery that I have heard of
will well bear relating.
An old peasant had just come to town
to buy groceries for the week, and,
naturally enough, walked down the
street with a little self-coifsciousness at
the thought of having a purse will filled
with Russian roubles, by the sale of
his last load of hay at the camp. Be
fore he reached the shop, or had even
had time to take a glass of raki in the
little groggery, he was met by a Cos
suck, who. without any ceremony, fell
upon his neck aud kissed him with effu
sion, exclaiming to the astonished peas
ant in broken Roumanian that he looked
so much like his old father away off on
the banks of the Don that the impulse
to embrace him was irresistible. It
seems that the sentiment was contagious;
for the peasant, after looking at the Cos
sack for a momeut, cried out that he
called to mind the pride of the family
who was away with the Roumanian army
at Kuhtfat, and the Cossack had to en
dure the embrace in his turn. This
could not last long, of course, and after
an exhaustive struggle to express his
joy in a language that was almost en
tirely unknown to him the Cossack took
his leave, promising to see his adopted
father in a day or two. When the simple
old fellow went to pay for his tea and
sugar he found he had no purse. He
went immediately to the mayor, but his
would-be son could not be found.
Enemies.
Have you enemies ? Go straight on,
and mind them not. If they block up
your path, walk around them, and do
your duty regardless of their spite. A
man who has no enemies is seldom good
for anything. He is made of that kind
of material which is so easily worked
that every one has a hand in it. A ster
liner character one who thinks for him
self, aud speaks what he thinks is
always sure to have enemies. They are
as necessary to him as fresh air ; they
keep him alive and active. A celebrated
character, who was surrounded with
enemies, used to remark : " They are
sparks which, if you do not blow, will go
out of themselves.'.' Let this be your
foeliner while endeavoring to live down
the scandal of those who are bitter
acainst vou. If vou stop to dispute,
you do but as they desire, and open the
wav for more abuse. Let the poor fel
lows talk ; there will be a .reaction if you
perform your duty, and hundreds who
were once alienated from you will flock
to you and acknowledge their error.

of the Newport (R. I.) lighthouse, who

her exposure in rescuing two drowning
men some time ago, is to have an effort

Gold rrodnct for 1877.
For the fiscol year ending June 20,
1877, the total coinage of nil the United
States niitits.except Carson Oity.Nevada,
was $71,000,000, or $14,000,000 moro
than ever before. The coinage of tho
San Francisco branch mint wns tho
largest annual mint product ever known
in the world, amounting to $40,101,500.
This same branch mint, since its estab
lishment in 1854, has shown a coinage of
$430,532,553 in gold, aud $26,049,712 in
silver. This is hardly one-third of the
product of the mines of the Paciflo slope
during that period. But much of the
bullion is sent East in the form of bare,
etc., and a small portion is handled at
the Carson branch mint. In former
years the Philadelphia mint did the main
part of tho coinage, and still does an
immense business. The following shows
the relative coinage of gold and silver
at San Francisco during the past five
years. While the silver coinage has in
creased materially owing to the recent
act regarding $50,000,000 of currency and
Bilver coin, the great bulk of the metals
coined is still gold:

California's gold product has gradually
decreased during the past five year's
from $23,000,000 down to $17,500,000,
and owing to the scarcity of water, the
yield will be still smaller this year.
Outside of tht State the material for
coinage comes largely from the Comstock
lode and other Nevada mines, and from
the outlying Territories.
Is Coffee Wholesome I
I know it is palatable, as very few peo
ple dislike it; but many eschew it on ac
count of its deleterious effects. Its odor
in preparing is delicious, far more so
than the actual drinking of it. I am as
fond of it as any one, but have not taken
a cup iu twenty-five years. It is more
productive of bile, especially to people
of sedentary habits, than any other thing
that can be drank or eaten. Indeed, the
most noted physicians protest against its
use beyond a single cup at breakfast, in
which proportion it can be taken with
safety. But where it is profusely in
dulged in, it is as injurious to health as
any alcoholic stimulant, If one pound
of coffee should be so used as to last a
family of ten persons for a week, I see it
stated, no hurtful results would ensue.
But here it should stop. I should think.
however, that by persons accustomed to
severe out-door exercise or labor of any
kind, it could, to a larger extent, be
taken with safety. Children should
never touch it, or tea either, except the
latter be very weak. The old-fashioned
way of making coffee is undoubtedly the
best, which is to buy the coffee in the
grain, scorch it until a light brown, and
grind it as it is wanted. The woter
should be boiling when poured over the
coffee, the pot of course closed tightly,
and theu give it another boil for minute
or two, and it will soon be sufficiently
clear to use. Aline.
A Scene in California.
One of the miners died, and having
been much respected, it was determined
give linn a regular tuueral. A dig'
ger iu the vicinity, who, report said,
had once been a powerful preacher m
the United States, was called upon to
officiate ; and after "drinks all round,"
tho party proceeded, with becoming
gravity, to the grave, which had been
dug at a distanco of a hundred yards
from the camp. When this spot was
eaiHied, the oiucinting minister com
menced with an extempore prayer.
during which all knelt round the grave,
So far was well ; but the prayer was un
necessarily long, and at last some of
those who knelt, begau, in an abstract
way, to Auger tho loose earth that had
been thrown up from tho grave. It
was thick with gold ; and an excite'

kneeling crowd. Upon this, the preach

Tho Palo Air Streaked with Mood.
There are people in Chicago who are
ouotinsr with apparent amusement the
following from tho Tribune's account of
the riot : " Fromfthe viaduct south the
avenue was crowded with roughs. They
poured in from the side streets, their
hands full of stones. The police met
them, head on. The sickening crash of
clubs followed, aud the pale air was
streaked with blood. Huge, bloated
women at the windows yelled encourage
ment aud defiance. Pistol balls shrieked
as they flew. The clash of sabers and
shouts of maddened men made the hot
air hideous. Horses were spurred into
the mob, swords roso and fell with cruel
significance. Alleys were gutted of
molten masses of enraged hniuauity.
Great miwsive blows fell on their
passion stained faces, aud tore the rage
out of them," There is more of it.

BtatAsraanship, wisdom, and uitefrritj for hollow pre
tence, imbecility, and fraud in the administration of
public affaire. It contends for the government of the
people by the people and for the people, as opposed to
coTernment by frauds in the ballot-box and in the eo ant
ing of votes, enforced by military violence. It endeavors
le e
to Biipply its readers a body now not far from a million
of soals with the most oareful, complete, and trust
worthy aooounts of eniront events, and employs for this
purpose a numerous nml careruny seiectoa sian or re
porters and correspondents. Itsreporte from Washing
ton, especially, are full, accurate, and .fearless; and it
doubtless oontinues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurp
ing what the Inw does not give them, while it enrinavnrs
