tii Ji ftev* Garden and Household. Keep Cow. If, People generally believe that there is . i but one kind of cow's milk, always snp- ! Imposing there is no adulteration, but no 1 mistake can be greater. The milk sold from WAgons has the following characteristics : It is of uncertain quality, ?< and it is almost always poor on acconnt of the feed, such as bran, steamed hay, and brewers' grains. It is injured during the journey from the farm or by the O various transits to the consumer, and it rapidly changes. Many of the cows are unhealthy ; little care is taken by those who milk to secure perfectly clean milk, and the odors of the barn-yard and stable where many cows are kept, where personal supervision as to details is impossible, impart a bad flavor to the milk. Such milk is certainly unfit for infants. All this is said on the supposition that there is no kind of adulteration. Condensed milk is not open to some of these evils. There is 11 / / i. i 1 reaiiy no way ior iammes 10 get gooa milk but to keep cows themselves. In cities and towns it would be a good plan for several families to unite and keep one first-rate cow. But, generally, one family should keep a cow, and this can often be done in a city as well as in a village, providing a stable is on the premises, for where carriage horses can be kept a cow can. I am informed that many of the aristocratic wealthy families in the upper part of New York keep cows as much as they keep servants, and they find it a great advantage.? Country Physician. The Actton of Light on Milk. Direct sunlight very soon spoils milk \ or cream by premature souriDg and decomposition. The effect of indirect or 1 reflected light has been but little observed. It nevertheless exerts an active influence, not only upon milk and i cream, but upon butter and cheese while curing. The general effect of light upon milk and cream is to hasten i the action of the lactic veast, and then the formation of alcoliof, and after that i to hurry up putrefaction, and these < changes are occasioned by the influence 1 of reflected light the same as by the influence of direct light, only in a feebler ! degree. The first effect, however, of a < small quantity of reflected light?a i III- lL.1 13 LK i quunuiy uias wouiu enaDie one wun ; good eyesf to read ordinary print?is to heighten the color of cream during an < exposure of thirty-six to forty-eight ! hours. As soon as the quantity of * light allowed to fall upon milk is increased beyond the small amount named, its influence is manifested upon the cream ; causing it to become sour and stale, lose color and flavor, and, if the light is strong, its surface is soon covered with mold and pimples, where the same milk, standing in a more shaded position, will be all right. The conclusion is, that too much light is doubtless often the cause of faulty butter ; and even after it is manufactured, bhtter, like cream, will soon fade if ex- i posed to the light, even though it may be covered with, brine.?Rural Home. To Clean Laat Year's Silks. * For the remaking of last year's black j silks, may be recommended an excellent j mode of cleaning. Rub each breadth j carefully with a woolen cloth to get the ^ dust from the surface, then sponge it all off with water in which one or two i bl&ok kid gloves have been boiled, a quart of water for a pair of gloves; j iroa while wet, with extremely hot , irons, on the wrong side. For colored j silks the same colored gloves to be boiled. For this purpose it is well to ( save old Jud gloves of all colors. An- ( other niode tried with great success is the same process of rubbing off the j flirt with a woolen rag, then mix an j equal quantity of strong tea and vine- -i gur, with which the silk is washed by j rubbing it with a pieoe of-flanneL It 1 must be made very wet. Smooth tha ? silk carefully, folding it, and in about ? fifteen minutes iron it on the wrong side with very hot irons. This applies only ( to black silk, black ribbons, cravats", j etc., but might be injurious to colors, j Where the Profit Lies. ' The great incomes from dairies where 1 the milk is sold in market comes from '{rood feed. From the nature of the business, he who is engaged in it is spurred on and encouraged each day to make the produot of his herd as large as possible. He realizes all the time that his income will be small unless his cows give a liberal flow of milk. They are. therefore, supplied with an abundance of the right kind of food, not only in June and July, but the year through. Only by the same management can bntter and cheese dairies be - made to return a satisfactory income. A good cow in the hands of a milkmau will return the o ..uer 8100 for the same. If in the cheese dairy she yield bnt 1,500 quarts, thepriceof cheese is not chargeable for the dhferenoe in the reoeipts. Give the herd good feed if you would hate- liberal returns for tho feod given. The Anns of th Ashantees. The arms of the Ashantee soldiers, now at war with England, consist of long five foot Danish guns (flint locks), though many are also found with blun.- i derbusses. The cartridge boxes serve ] as girdles, the leather or wooden cups ] into which the powder is poured being ] ^ewed on a belt, tho two ends of which \ ..ii,nnr. /.* uic riiua i/icu nitu u icavuti tuvug vi buckled in front. The bullets or iron slugs are in a small leather poucli, slung ' over the shoulder. This pouch, some- s times found on the dead Ashantees, is i gencrilly found to contain as miscel- , m laneous a set of articles as may be seen \ in any Jack Tar's box or bag. Bark j thread, bark waste (probably for wad- , ding), dark, queer-looking stones, an ] assortment of dark-colored beans, a ( stale piece of yam or manioc, a piece of , chew-stick, a handful or so of small j shtlls, and other extraordinary articles, \ represent what an Ashn^tee's pouch | contains on the battle field. Any of | your readers who may have seen a Greek j brigand's, an Albanian's, a Kurd's, or a . Bedouin's cartridge box may guess at once what kind of a cartridge box the Ashantees use. They undoubtedly derive their notions of the utility of such a thing from the trading Tuaregs ] of Timbuctoo. You need not wonder, | then, at tho very few severe wounds in-: . flicted upon the English despite the j1 very many splendid opportunities the ] ] ambushed Ashantees have ha l to indict' | ihstantaneous death. The powder is | thrown loosely into the barrel, and, be- . ing often without wadding material, the bullets or slugs of iron, or handfuls of snail shells, or a piece of unsmelted ' iron ore, are dropped on the loose pow- 1 der, and the louse charge is thus iired I when only a few feet from their foes. Hence we need not wonder that so few fatal wonnds have been received by the : English. Chicago boatts the heaviest cattle dealers in the world.

The correspondence accompanying the President's Message on the Yirginius question is very voluminous. On the Gth of November Gen. Sickles telegraphed to Secretary Fish that the Virginias had been captured six miles from Jamaica, and that the Captain-General had been ordered, on Mr. Sickles' suggestion, to await orders. The Secretary telegraphed Mr. Sickles in reply that the snmmaiy proceedings demanded investigation as inhuman ; that reparation will be required if American citizens have been wrongfully executed. Mr. Sickles the next jlay reported his interviews with Mr. Cavnjal and with President Castelar. The latter, he said, had ordered that no person be executed without the authoriry of the Cortes, and thereupon Mr. Sickles expressed satisfaction. He subsequently telegraphed Mr. Fish that the Spanish Government would spontaneously do everything required by public law and treaty obligations; that the Spanish Government regretted the execution of the four prisoners, and orders were sent to stay further proceedings. On the 8th day of November, Minister Sickles gave a detailed account of the interview with the Spanish Minister of State, who said that no formal demand would be necessary on the part of the United States, as the Spanish Government would at once take up the question and decide it. The case of the Deerhound was cited, aud the same principles would be applied to the Virginius. After further correspondence, Mr. Fish telegraphed to Minister Sickles as follows : "Accounts have been received from Havana of the execution of the oaptain and 36 of the crew and 18 others. If true, Gen. Sickles will protest against the act as brutal and barbarous, and , ample reparation* will be demanded." | Protests were made to the Spanish Government against the summary executions in Cuba, and orders were issued that they be stopped. Mr. Fish telegraphed to Minister 3ickles, Nov. 15, reporting 57 more executions, and saying : " If Spain cannot redress these outrages, the United States will." Gen. Sickles, Nov. 18, transmitted a i copy of the reply of the Minister of State to his note of Nov. 1G respecting reports from Havana. Sickles regarded j it as a refusal and proposed to close the legation unless otherwise ordered, and on the 18th asked Secretary Fish that a ressel might be ordered to Valencia to take him to France. The next day Sickles transmitted a copy of Carvajal's reply r?jectidg the protest. On the 19th he informed Secretary Fish he was (raiting instructions, and said "the popular feeling runs high here against the United States and this legation, rhe press is violent, advising Government to order mo out of Spain. Labt night a mob was collected to attack and sack the legation. The authorities interfered and preserved the peace." Mr. Sickles also telegraphed: "Spain bas asked the good offices of England. Lord Granville declined, unless on the basis of ample reparation made to the United States." Mr. Fish telegraphed, Nov. 25, to Mr. Sickles: "If no accommodation is redched by the close of to-morrow, eave. If a proposition is submitted mn \rill rofor if to WflKViirnrton and 1 Icfer action.". The following will give an idea of the ;orrcspondence and negotiations with -he Spanish Legation at Washington: \fr. Fish stated to Admiral Polo, Nov. 12, that he had received intelligence of he shooting of 53 persons from the Hrginius; that the story was too shockng and cruel to be credited. The Secretary asked if Admiral Polo had more luthantic intelligence. Admiral Pelo laid to Mr. Fish, Nov. 12, that he had received no information. Copies of :elegrams to Admiral Polo were handed jy Admiral Polo to Mr. Fish, Nov. 15. [t was there said that the papers of tho ^irginius were irregular; that tho order 'rom Madrid did not reach Santiago in ;ime to stay the executions owing to the l?3truction of telegraph wires, and that ;he Virginius was regarded as a pirate, relegrams handed by Admiral Polo to \Ir. Fish, Nov. 17, said that Spain was lisposed to make amends for any violaion of international law, but required lime to make examination. Mr. Fish acknowledged the receipt of his evidence on Dec. 22, saying that ;iie inciosuro made it appear to tue satisfaction of the United States that ;he Yirginius was not entitled to carry ;he flag at the time of her capture ; that :he salute would therefore be dispensed ritli, and, in accordance with the terms a! tho protocol, inquiries would bo -initituted and proceedings begun against the vessel and tho persons appeariug to be guilty of illegal acts conuected therewith. The documents conclude with with a large mass of consular and miscellaneous correspondence. A King's Household. The King of the Ashantees, a correspondent says, possesses a numerous liarcm, like the sable monarch of Dahomey. lie is privileged to marry as many as he pleases ; for even in Ashantee the King can do no wrong or trespass on any law. I should fear to say how many wives he has married, for we diall probably know the exact number by nnd by ; but he can take his pick out of tho noblest, the fairest nnd best in the land, after which it is certain death for any other man in Ashantee to look on her face, for she is the King's. The harem is jealously guarded in a quarter of the palace overlookng the palace gardens by a body of 150 eunuchs. It must not be supposed, however, that the rights of ordinary women are curtailed thus : in the households of all but the King the women are at liberty to stare and be stared at, to talk with iny man or bo talked with. A Good Tiling. Some experiments have been made, recently, in England with an apparatus termed the aerophore. This invention, t is claimed, will enable a miner to penetrate at once, aud to a great dis:ance, into a pit filled with chokedamp. to remain there several honrs, to carry bis lamp with him withont danger, and ivithout depriving him of the free use of his arras. To prove these positive assertions the iuveutor, armed with his apparatus, entered a small hut which had been tilled with a mixture of sulphurous Rnd carbouic acid gases, aud remained there about twenty minutes. While iu the hut he constructed a box, to show the freedom of the arms. It was claimed that it would have been a good box if the hammer used had not been spoiled by the excessive amount of smlphur. A Catastrophe. It is rarely a man in descending i back stairway with an armful of things and having to open a door at the foot leans against the door while doing it The performance is so devoid of inter est as to not admit of repetition, but i sometimes happens, and this was thi case on Friday with Mr. Briggs, of Eln street. He had had a little socia gathering the night before, and wai now returning a few articles borrowec from the family on the first floor below He had a tin pail full of goblets anc preserve dishes and one armfnl ol plates. He set the pail on the stairs tx free one of his hands, and pressed hit knees against it to keep it from sliding off. * This movement caused him t< press rather heavily against the door, but he either did not notice it.or believed that he was leaning against the wall. So in this ignorance or confidence h< raised the latch, and immediately went I ' *? afo?\a r~> /I i nf/\ V*/! piuii^xu^ uunu unu oi^uo auu iuiv vuv, room below, dragging the crockery and glasa ware after him, and making the most frantic but hopeless efforts to catch himself. It unfortunately happened at this juncture that the down stairs lady was in the act of crossing the room with a pot of coffee and n platter of buckwheat cakes, and had just time to incline her head toward the opening doov when the castastrophe was upon her, and she went down m a heap, covering herself with hot buckwheat cakes, and her unfortunate caller with hot coffee. The terrible crash brought every other occupant of the house to the rescue, but they were not needed. The temperature of the cakes and ooffee was of suoh a degree as to stimulate the unfortunates to help themselves, and they were on their feet in an instant. The lady was led into another room and had her head rubbed, while Mr. Briggs, declining the consolation of a quart bottle of camphor, a most admirable remedy in case of a scald, and the advice of his wife's mother to let her see where he was hurt, at once shot into the cellar, and barring the door behind him, remained j there in gloomy contemplation for two whole hours, despite the warnings *f his wife through the key-hole that he would catch his death of cold.?Danbwy News. Heroic Women. The London Times mentions that two remarkable cases of courage and presence of mind on the part of girls have j nst been brought before the Royal Humane Society. The first case was that of Miss Olivia Georgiana E.Maude. She Baved Ihe life of a girl named Adele Greaven, who sank while bathing at Sea Point, Mouktown, under the following circumstances: Miss Maude and her sister, who had themselves been bathing, were dressed and sitting on the rocks watching the other bathers, when their attention was aroused by an alarming outcry?a girl had disappeared in deep water. No assistance was at hand, no boat or ropes, and evem the usnal attendants were absent or otherwise engaged. The child soon rose to the snrface, but, unable to swim, sank again. She rose a second time, and the bystanders and bathing women, thoroughly alarmed and crying for assistance, were shocked at perceiving that the child's bathing dress had got over her face and head, a?d that her arms were entangled in it. At this moment Miss Mande leaped into the deep water, dressed as slie was, without even taking time to remove her watch, caught the child as she was disappearing the third time, and took her safely to shore. The other case was that of Miss Mary Kerridge, who saved a lad of fifteen named Stewart, who sank while bathing at Wentworth, New South Wales. The boy had gone with a companion to bathe in the River Darling, and was carried by a strong current into deep water. Neither he nor his companion could swim, and he cried loudly for help. Miss Kerridge was about one hundred yards off, and, hearing the boy's cries, run as fast as sbe could to the spot, plunged into the river with all her clothes on and "caught the lad as he rose the ?hird time. After considerable difficulty, owing to the rapidity of the current., having only one hand at liberty, and her efforts being impeded by the weight of her clothes, she ultimately succeeded in placing the lad in safety. The Royal Humane Society bestowed medals for saving life, with suitable testimonials, on each of the young ladies. The Cost of a Congressman's Death, The death of a member is something of a perquisite, custom having established the usage of maintaining a sort of professional mourning on the part of the House, something after the style of the hired mourners of England and Scotland. If a member dies at Washington, the Sergeant-at-Arms may pay the landlord of his hotel ?100 for hav ' lug granted tne privilege 01 a ueatn m I liia house. Six stalwart men must : then watch, with two reliefs, by his bed during the period that the body if in the custody of the house. Bettei for some of the dead that they had beer more closely watched before they lefl the legislative halls. Deputies musl attend the body to its destination ir the State of the deceased, unless tin friends claim the right of burial in tin Congressional Burying ground. Alto getbcr, and I have u definite case ir I miud, it costs about $2,000 to bury i Congressman decently who dies ir Washington. The funeral expense! cost a little more than the back-pnti for one year. Perhaps the back-paj will serve as funeral expenses for some without the benefit of clergy. Gentle ; men, watch-dogs of the Treasury 1 anxious to practice economy, would d< their constituency and the country i service by dying at home. Responsibility of Common Carriers. The Merchants' Dispatch Company I was sued by R. Kranse, of Davenport ; Iowa, for the value of gooilH lost at tin 1 time of the Chicago tire. This company ! claimed that Chicago was the end of tin I route, and that after they had placei i the goods in their warehouse their re ! sponsibility ceased, and they becami liable only as warehousemen. But tin ; court held thit the defendants were re sponsible for the goods until some on< else became responsible for them?nnti they had been placed in tho hands o I the connecting carrier. Taking then | out ot defendants' cars and putting them in their warehouse did not shif the liability, in the judgment of tin | court, who gave verdict for plaintiff. I: this opinion is oonffrmed, tho Dispatcl Company will have to make good i large amount of losses accruing at tin I time of-the great fire.' XLIlld CONGRESS. \ SENATE. 1 , The Judiciary Committee of the Renate, reported back the House Bankruptcy bill, with ? amendments. Mr. Bogy addressed the Senate on the financial question, favoring an inflation of the currency. He thought thore had been an unequal t distribution of the currency. The six New England States bad received 8110.000.000, 3 when they were entitled to but 889.000.000: l the Middle States had received an excess of i i 89.000,000, while the Southern States were ( deficient in their portion 851.000.000, and the . 3 Western States 821.000.000. He ad.ocated the , , reissue of the 844,000.000 legal tender reserve, J 1 an additional issue of 850.000.000 in legal tend- I , ers, and an issue of 825.000,000 in national t bank notes to Westem banks. | A petition of citizens of Pennsylvania was , ( presented asking for the appointment of a > commission to regulate the sale of alcoholic I j liquor. C r During the salary bill debate. Mr. Flanagan, i ' of Texas, said if there was guilt pertaining to . ' any Senator who advocated the passage of the * , bill increasing salaries he was guilty. He 1 favored the passage and voted for it out of the ' purest motives, as he believed Congress had a I ' right to enact said law. He thought $7,500 e ; not an excessive salary, and had remarked , ? when the bill passed that it should have been * ) $10,000. Since then he has not changed his I opinion. He had drawn the money (producing c , the greenbacks from his pocket); "Here they \ are, sir; this is my pay; lam going, to fight r for it till the last." (Laughter.) "I have not ? ' stolen that pay; I nave done nothing that ? i preys upon my conscience; I have eudeavored 1 to earn it." ^Renewed laughter.5 Carpenter, 8 ' of Wisconsin, said he had spent the back^pay t ' drawn last session faithfully and thoroughly, r and he knew of no power under the Constitn- f tion to get it back. It would be a question bei tweeu the Government and his creditors, and he would leave them to light it out." (Laugh- t ter.) c 3lr. Sumner presented a petition of 35,179 f Grsons of Ohio against the proposed tlieojical amendment to the Constitution of the . United States. He said the total length of the 1 petition was 953 feet. Referred to the Com- B mittee on Judiciary. s Mr. Pratt's amendment to the Salary bill a which provides that the pay for the balance of this Congress shall be such amount as to make . the total, with that already received ( 10.000), d $.5,000 for each year, was rejected by 45 nays I to 14 yeas. * c H0C8K. fc] Ovor 100 bills were presented on the open- p ing day of the House. jf Mr. Dawes effered a resolution directing the Surgeon General of the army to detail one or more modical officers of the army to visit the towns at which cholera prevailed during 1873, Ci or such of them as the Surgeon General may it deem necessary, and confer with th? health t] authorities and the resident physicians of such ^ towns and collect all facts or importance with reference to such epidemic, and to make a de- ^ tailed report on or before January. 1875. He p stated that hin attention and that of the Sur- w geon General had beencalle&to the great im- g portanceof the subject,by letters from Sir. ? J, Proctor Knott, formerly a Representative from Keutucky. The resolution was adopted- Mr. Wheeler from tho Committee ou Appro- ai priations,reported the Army Appropriation bill, ci appropriating 128,449,916, which was mode a C( special order. The original estimate called for 34,831,618. The Secretary of War, on the revision ordered by the House, reduced them to $32,768,716. The Committee on Appropriation lias further reduced them by the sum of $4 318,799. ij' Mr. Stephens made a long speech on the 0j civil service bill, in which he admitted that bis ^ opposition sprung from no prejudice on ac- 0j Count of color. C] The House Committee on Railroads and y Canals agreed to a bill regulating charges by r< railraads for transporting passengers and freight. ? The Military Committee is about equally divided as to the course to bo pursued in the case of Gen. Howard. The Civil Hervice Committee have begun an investigation to determine whether the business of the Government cannot bo managed H| more economically. t, Mr. Sypher, of La., asked leave to introduce q a joint resolution, which he said had the ap- j, proval of the President. It recited that well authenticated reports specifically brought to the capital by Bishop Wilmer. of Louisiana, shew that in cortain localities of the South the people are destitute and in a condition of w starvation owing to the failure of the crops, ti and it directs the Secretary of War to issue ct army rations in such quantities as may be re- ci quirod to alloviato the immediate suffering of ft the inhabitants of those .destitute communi- ti ties. v Mr. Butler of Massachusetts spoke in favor of the supplementary Civil Bights bill, closing the dobate; the bill was recommitted, with |j leave to report at any time. B, The resolution for the rolief of destitution in [, the South was reported upon adversely. 1 A bill appointing Asa Gray, J. D. Dana, t| Henry Coppee, John McLean, aiid Peter Parker, c, regents of the Smithsonian Institution was n passed. i Iu discussing the House appropriation bill, j Mr. Archer, of Maryland, said the difficulties with Spain had not passed by. There had been a probability that the relations with Spain _ might remain peaceful while Caetelar was at the head of the Spanish Government, for Castclar was known to bo a friend of the American g republic. But that very friendship had caused b his deposition, Htul iu his place is now the a bloody Serrano, who had nothing but hatred si and dislike to' the United 8tates, and yet the tl proposition was that the navy should stand, fi not on the usual peace basis, but one-fourth below the usual ncace basis. No greater mistake can be maao than in cutting down the B navy in the cry of economy. The true econo- j, my was to keep np a strong navy In order that ^ war may bo averted, not to be economical f until war comes, and then launch out into wild expenditure. 5=9 ; t " My position as cashier of the First j National Bank and treasurer of tho .

With a History of the ltise and Trogress of 1 the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. Pub- _ lished by the National Publishing-Co, Philadelphia. 1 The most remarkable and powerful 11 uovemcnt of the present day is, uu- t luestionably, the War which the Farm- j :rs are waging against the Monopo- . ies of all kinds that hare for so long i jeen robbing the people and oppressing . ,he toiling portion of our community. , The work begins with tho causes rhich have aroused the American peo- } )le against the monopolists, and treats >f the railroad system of tho country, . ts growth, actual condition and pros>ects. It then shows how this noble ystem has been I perverted to further 1 he ends of Belfish capitalists and roil- . oad directors, who seek to gain at the 'ipense of the community ; and we are . fiyen a terrible and thrilling account 1 >f the crimes and frauds of the railroad f orporations of to-day. The author yields a fearless and vigorous pen, and . mints ont the evils #uch this selfish . freed has entailed upon us. He shows . iow the great corporations have been ^ ible to control the whole country; how hey have robbed the nation, and corupted our Congress, State Legisla- J urea, and Courts of Justice. Passing from the Monopolists and f heir outrages, tho author takes up the c ause of the wronged and oppressed ? * A-ftL j -11. h armers, and gives us a aecanea aiaie- aent of these evils from which the farm- r ng class is sufiTering. He analyzes kUlfnlly the causes of the evils, and hows how and by whom the farmers B re robbed. A considerable portion of the work is evoted t? h history of the Order of x 'atrons of Husbandry. A complete ac- ii ount of the organization and objects of s, lie order is given; its laws and mode of h rocedure are stated; and each feature v i explained at length. ^ It is decidedly the most interesting nd useful volume of the day, and as it ? Dmoe at a tipie when the whole country <> i suffering intensely from the effects of a lie evils it denounces, cannot fail to ^ ave a tremendous sale. It is an ably n ritten book, and a bold and vigorous lea in behalf of the farmers and all Pl rho are oppressed and robbed by the u rasping Monopolies which are causing 3 much trouble.
