ScrENTislo men in ranee and! Ger
many think the recent c nvulsions of the
earth indicate the ultim e formation of
new confluent.
THERE is not in the p esent House of
Lords a single descendant of one of the
appointed to enforce
twenty-five barons
the observance of Magna Charta.
ClAr.s. LOUISE KELLOGG, it seems, has
not a high appreciatin of Cleveland
musical talent. While the audience in
that city was tiring ou in an excessive
encore,
encore, the other evenin , she exclaimed,
in the dressing-room. "What shalt I
sing ? guesss I'll give 'em 'Sweet Home;'
they can't appreciate anything higher."
She sang the same song in Cincinnati—
perhaps for the same reason.
SIIEEI..—The wholesale butchery of
sheep last autumn, so general, throughout
the State of Ohio, is already beginning - to
manifest its legitimate result. Sheep,
which three months ago could scarcely
find sale at from fifty to seventy-five cents
per head, are now in demand at prices
varying from one and a half to three dol
lars, and"without do'ubt prices will con
tinue to advance with the opening of
Spring.
'.THE PRESS OF TUE 'UNITED STATES.—
A recent statistical publication says that
in the United States there are 542 daily
papers, 4,425 weekly, and 277 monthly—
total 5,244.. The number of printing
offices exceeds 6,000. In addition there
are 56 tri-weekly papers, 64 semi-weekly,
46 semi-monthly publications, 297 month
ly. 4 bi-monthly, and 24 quarterly, mak
ing the total number of all American pub
lications 5,734. or of newspapers proper,
• a total of 5,353.
POPMES.—It is reported that the culti
,vation of the poppy plant will be intro
duced into Louisiana. A French gentle
man at Natchitoches, it is stated, has an
nounced his intention of planting in the -1
spring of 1.869, several acres of poppies,
• and of manufacturing opium. It is as
serted that an acre of poppies will make
• fifty pounds of opium, worth fifteen to
twenty dollars a pound, at a cost of less
than four dollars a pound for manuttic
turing, and that one man can cultivate
three acres. .
THE Italian Government, it is said,
now uroposes to adopt a' ne v attitude
with respect to Rome, and to ignore,
as
far as possible, the existence of both the
city and the Pope, which governs .it.
• The Vatican has wind of the intention,
• ' and is much annoyed in anticipation. All
attempts to arrange friendly terms will
henceforward be abandoned as utterly
i useless, on account of the dogged immo
bility of the Papal counselors. The Ital
ian government will try to do without
• Rome in every way, and to await events.
OIIT-DOOR RELIEF.—The number of
patients in New York city who applied
in 1868 to the Bureau of Out-door Sick,
established in 1845 for the benefit of such
. i persons as do not require constant medi
cal attendance, amounted to 9,650 per
sons, to whom 36,468 prescriptions were
' I furnished. In this Bureau the diseases
are classified, and physicians assigned
to each class. The more prominent dis
eases treated are those affecting the eye
and ear, the chest, the digestive organs
' .' and the skin. _ .
TEE ALABAMA.—Mr. Graves, M. P. for
Liverpool, said, in a speech in that city
on Friday, that the treaty negotiated
with the American Minister for the set
tlement of the .eildbania claims was sure
to be ratified by the United States
Senate. He said the American claims
were made with a dignity and maintained
a forbearance that were fully appreciated
by England. She had in consequence
met the advances of the United States
more than halt way, and receded from
principles which had been •regarded as
fundamental to the Br tish Constitution.
THE eminent sur eon, Sir James
Simpson, has lately call d attention to the
,fact that the walls of hospitals—brick,
stone and plaster—become in time E 0 in
filtrated with the emanations of disease as
to be dangerous to patients; and he gives
figures to show at, with the best skill
and care of the g eat hospitals, three
times as many patie is die of operations,
as if they were atten ed at their homes.
even where these si ould seem less salu
brious. It is not a q estion of size or ven
tilation, for a new h spital is healthy; but
1
in spite of all effo is at cleanliness, the
building itself becomes diseased.

THE Mont Cen s tunnel is advancing
rapidly. A few e ore months and the
railway lines of ranee and Italy will
unite beneath a a ountain 5,300 feet high.
It is slow work, 1 i the tunnel has to be
pierced through extremely hard greenish
; gray sandstone mixed with quartz; 4,300
feet were hollowed out last year. The
tunnel is to be 39,700 feet in length; .29,-
800 feet of the work .are already coin
; plete; the remaining 9,900 feet will take,
, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight
; months to accomplish; so that by March
or April, 1871, this stupendous work will
probably be done.
A TABLE has recently been published
giving some interesting statistics of the
New York theatres, which afford em
ployment, as it appears, to 1,895 actors,
actresses and other employees. This
however, does not represent the actual
number of persons who earn their sup
port by ministering to the public.taste for
amusement; as no accountis taken of the
various concerts and other musical enter
tainments which are given at irregular
intervals In different halls, and the num
ber of „which averages three or four a
week all through the winter. The same
table gives the average daily attendance
atthe theatres as 23,300, and the average
. daily receipts at $14,638. These figures
can only be regarded as approximations
to the truth, and in some cases represent
not the attendance at n particular theatre,
but its seating capacity. Making allow
ance, however, for the concert-goers, who
are not set down at all, the totals are
•• probably- very near the truth. Most of
our theatres this winter are unusually
prosperous.—N. Y. Tribune.

Novellincendiarlsm. The,Newbury
port eFire-Sug.
tFrona the Boston Advertiser, Feb, 4.:
By this entomological name the citi
zens of Newburyport are wont to speak
of the incendiary who for the past two
years or more has disturbed their pence
and eluded all attempts to detect him.
His activity during the present winter
has been greater than ever but the dam
age which he has occasioned has not thus
far corresponded with the frequency and
persistency of his attempts to do mis
chief. By timely discovery, many of the
tires which he haslet have been speedily
extinguished, in just the nick of time to
prevent disastrous conflagrations. But
a fear prevails that the city will not
always be so fortunate, and that if the
"fire-bug" is not arrested in his yillainy,
the city will ere long be visited by a ca
lamity as disastrous as that which fell
upon it in 1811.
The method employed by the incen
diary is at once novel and ingenious.
His kindling apparatus consists of a
wooden box, about four inches square
and fifteen inches long, with covered top
and bottom, lined at the top and sides
with tin, and having on one side, near
the bottom, a hole" for the tire to issue
from- In this box a candle is placed,
surrounded at the bottom with combus
tible materials, saturated with inflam
mable oil. When the candle has burned
so low that these materials are ignited,
_ the flame issues from the apeiture in the
box, and comes in contact with the
wood-work of the building. which has
previously been saturated with oil.
Generally, the box is placed against the
outside of the building intended to be
destroyed, but when access is easily ob
tained, it is placed upon the inside. It is
.supposed that the incendiary comes
I forth with his box at about six o'clock in
the evening, when the factory operatives
I I are going to their homes and he can pass
most easily without observation, and the
I time required for his infernal machine to
I take effect varies with the condition of
the atmosphere, the direction of the
wind or some other_ circumstance whose
effect he cannot always closely calculate.
The first of those boxes secured by the
city authorities was found on the night
of December 15, 1867. Since that date,
nesrly a dozen of them, in varipus stages
of combustion, have been placed in the
office of Mr. Fritz, the City Marshal; and
the number entirely consumed is probe
' hip as large as those discovered in sea-
I son to be saved. These boxes are simi
lar in shape, are made of the same kind
of materials, and their skillful construc
tion shows that they are the work of a
practiced band.
The acts and motives of the incendiary
afford abundant food for speculation; and
there are not a few wiseacres who are con
fident of their abi•ity to solve the mys
tery by pointing out the culprit. Some
assert that, the mischief is caused by
some member- of the firedepartment;
others declare that it is the work of some
Carpenter who desires to keep his line
of bueiness active . . while others are
,equally confident that some member of
the • pollee force uses the advantages
which his position offers to carry on the
nefarious wdrk.. Stories are rife of rays!
torious persons seen in suspicious places,
and of men found wandering at night
in Wornon's clothing. Planchette has
been consulted, and has made revela=
tions as 'conflicting as they aro extraoor
dinary. One appeal to the "spirits"
elicited a reply that the -Aires hanged

at Salem in 1821, for arson committed in
tiewburort. ointed detec
ves ha yp va tried their Self-a sk pp ill in watching
for the incendiary, and In some in
stances have found themselves tindet e
surveillance of the regular'police; 1011
Many ludicrous !incidents have arisen
from the authorlied and,unauthorized
efforts for his discovery. A person seen
after darkmith a bundle under his arm
is at oncti an object of suspicion, and
' many innocent persons have been oh-
liged to explain their movements. The
1 city authorities and the police are com:
1 1 pelted to submit to a great deal of sharp
1 criticism for their failure to discover the
criminal, and are even charged with ne
glect to take the proper , steps to that
end. As we are not writing for the ben
efit of the nfire-bug,"iwe shall not state
the moans nhw employed for his dated
tion; but we aro able to say that such
I vigor and shill are enlisted for that pur
pose, that he will ere long be compelled
I to abandon his diabolical work, or find
i himself in the hands of the officers of the
law. ,

asktbe attention of all interested in the reduc
tion of the extravagant cost of Butter, to their
practical and economical system of making pure
Prime Butter by the aid of the
EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLANT.
A brief allusion to tile origin of tins InT ortant
Ills-covet y may tot prose uninteresting • Among
the authenticated records , of the renowned Cap
tain Cook voyage arou d the world, is found
the s'atement, that while sojourning fora [hurt
time on the Brazilian Coast of South America, he
otherved the natives using, In the preparation of
their food, a peculiar oil, which, upon examina
tion. he found to possess the appearance, taste
and flavorof Buttsr; upon farther inquiry, how
ever, he ascertained that it was simply a sub ,
stance ,that. the natives distilled in a crude and
Imperfect manner, from a 'rich and luxuriant
plant that grew spontaneously and abundantly in
that warm tropical country. A few 3ea ra ago,
an eminent French chemist, while on a profes
sional visit to the tropics, made numerous experi!
'mints with this remarkable production of na
ture, and.suceeeded in extracting a copcentrat( d
essence of the plant. The, formula for its preps- •
ration, and the Sole flight for its sale In this
country are the exclosive. property of this Com
pany, by whom It was purchased from the orlgi
nal discoverer. We claim for this remarkable,
yet simple and perfectly harmless preparatiou
181.—That by its use a net gain of from 50 to 200
per cent. is made in the manufacture id Butter.
13d.—That Butter, which front age or whatever
cause, may be strong, rancid, streaked or
coarse-grained. and comparatively useless for
general use, by the and of this. Ex tract, is re
stored to its original freshness and sweetness,
Rue-grain, and even color.
3d.—iSy the use of this Extrect, one pound of
delicious, fresh Butter is actually made from
'one pint of milk.
40.13.—That a pure and excellent table Butter can
be made, at a cost of from 15 to 20 c nta per
pound. The chief expense wherein being But
ler, which Is theessential base.
sth.—That Butter manufactured by the and of
this Extract is equstiln every respect to the best
Butter made by tile ordinary method.
oth.-Extract after teorough antilysiS, by
able chemists. is pronounced perfectly free from
any deleterious substance. the ingredients be
ing purely of a vegetable nature.
Bth.—ln proof of lie foregoing assertions, the
factory Of this company is mating one ton of
Butter per day. which meets with ready sale
us the New York 12 rrket. and Is consumed frotn
the tables of the first Hotels, Restaurants and
Private families in this city and elsewhere.
