The new device of Pnntimtri cr fcrericr
ul Cr*swell, the postal cards, went into
circulation yesterday. As they have
been somewhat elaborately described in
the fpeoinl dispatches for the lnst several
week.:, it is not necessary to go into
particulars here, Beside:: nearly every
body has seen them, and knows h?w to
describe them himself. But fur a gener
al description it might be .said that they
arc designed lor the distribution of
intelligence among the masses at one
thiid the usual t?te. Von can write al
most anything you please on a postal
curd, sii that it isn't too hing? that is tu
say, tho atticle that is written. Hut
there are some things that u > not read
well on h postal caid. Take, for iustauce,
a large boarding house, where the laud
lidy takes care of the mall until the
boarders Call lor it. This sometimes
makes the diffusion of intelligence among
tho masses t trifle too diffuse for com
fort. The postman comes to the door
with an armful of postal tarda. The
landlady relieves him of the burdbu,
gees iu and ails down uud : ;ins to sort
them over for the vurio..?. boarders.
Presently she strikes ouc which reads

A company has bece prgnnitcd in this
city, with a capital of $500.000, for the
manufacture of butter.. It is claimed
that the butter is genuine, the moans ol
producing it being aipue artificial; in
(ither words, the discoverer affirms that
the article is.not mere!1 butyrnm but in
every' rcs'poct the complete and perfect
thing, as agreeable, nutritious, and usa-'
ble as the best Orange ituntv butter. A
gentleman of recognised ability as n
chemist is the fortun to introducer of
this new wonder. S:. /cral persons of
wealth have bought sto.jk, and in a week
or two the manufactures will be conduct
ed on a very largo scale. The tempora
ry offices of the Oico Magarine Manu
fucturing Company, sp the eorp ration is
called, are at 40 Broadway and their
manufactory in Forty fifth street. Ar
rangements have beeu Oiade for seeiuiu-j
better accommodations, in Fiftietb street
and very soon'the mattet will be fully
supplied with the n* w product. At
present the de'uuud f'r the article is s i

it is mad.*. In the fir-t place ogents are
employed to visit the slaughter ho<iso>
and to buy Up all the beef fat n- . id

butter factory and cleansed. Then i; i
put into ordinary nfoat-chnppora and
minced fine. It is afterward placed in n
boih-r with a- much water in bulk ?*
itself. A stenm pipe is introduced
among the particles of the suet an I they
are melted. The- refuse or membrane
goes to the bottom o' the water, the
oily substance floats and is removed.
This litter consists of butter matter und
Stearine. A temperature of 80 degrees
melts the fi rmer and leaves tho Stearine
at the bottom. The butter matt ?r, or
cream, is drawn off; then about 13 per
cent of fresh milk is added and the
necessary salt, and the wh ile is churned
for ten or fifteen minutes. The result
is Orange county butter at about oue
half the usu al e >st.
The stearino is sold at twelve cents a
pound to the Candlo maker, and the
refuse at seven cents a poun I to the
manufacturer of food for e.ittlo.
BUl'TER FOR SUMMER TO?niSTS.
j All the leading steamship lines be
I tween here and Europe are to be sup
I plied this summer with the newly inven
ted butter. In taste and appearance it
is precisely similar lb the finest county
butter, made fron the mills of live cows.
Several of the lea ling tu on iu the butter
trade havj purchased stock, as have al
so many ol the presidents of the steam
ship liues and the proprietors of the
leading city hotels. Professor C. ().
Doremua has testified to the success of
tho new method of butter maniifaeture
and prophesies great prosperity for the
new corporation. Professor Paraf, the
discoverer, ozpects that the new produot
will drive live cow butter out of the
market altogether. The few unscientific
outsiders who arc acquainted with the
facts uow first made public, regard the
whole thing with amazement. It stems
extremely odd to them that the same
I carcass which furnishes a fresh steak for
, breakfast should also supply the Orange
oounty butter which they spread upon
their accompanying hot rolls.?X. Y.

Therovraa no part of tho country in
which talent and virtue, no matter how
humble its origin, or from what locality

South Carolina was of liumblo parentage.
The father of President Andrew. Jackson,

How I lie Hoy Arises.
Culling a l#oy up in tho morning can
hardly be classed under the head of
'?pastimes," especially if the boy is (oud
of excrciso the day before. Aul it is a
little 8*IUgular that the next h:irde>t
thing to getting a boy out of bed is
getting him into it. There is rarely a
mother who is a success at rousing a
boy. All mothers knows this; so do
their le ys. And yet the mother scorns
to go at it in the right way. SllOOpcnS
the stair do r and iiisiou itingly observes:
''Johnny!" There is no response"-?
JIio.jiiy '." Still no response. Then
there is a shirt sharp "John !"
followed a moment later by a pro
longed and emphatic ??.John Henry !"
[ A grunt from the Upper region
signifies that an impression has been
made, and the mother is encouraged to
add. "You'd better begetting down here
to your breakfast, young man, belore 1
come up there, an' give something you'll
feel." This so startles the young man
that In? immediately goes to sleep again.
And the operation has to be repeated
several times.
A lather knows nothing about this
trouble, lie merely opens bis mouth
as a soda bottle ejects its cork, and tho
"John Henry!" that cleaves the air of
that stairway goes in to the boy like elec
tricity, and pierces the deepest recesses
of his very nature. And ho pops out of
the bed into his cloths, down the stair*,
with a promptness that is commendable.
It is rarely a boy allows himself to dis
regard the parental summons. About

A Valuable Invention for Ladies.
?V MAX.AURI.ER.
It was Mover's turn For invention |
that caugod the disaster. Moyor design
ed a new kind of "patent, inflated
gossamer bustle" for ladies. It was a
j thin bag of India rubber which was to
be inflated with gas to give it the proper
distcntiou and sufficient lightness. When
the model was completed, Mrs. Moycr
determined to try it. She went into
the yard aud tied the maehing under
her dress, while Mover turned on the
kite hen gas to fill the bag. It workod
well enough for u Tew momcuts. wheu
all at oneo Mrs. Moycr began to ascend
with frightful rapidity. She had barely
time to scream down to Moycr to put
the children to bed early, and to tell
Mary Jane to set bread, aud the nest
instant she was two miles above the
snow line. It was embarrassing for
Mrs. Moyer?very cmbarrasdng, as
she could not roach round to the bustle
to luru off the gas iu order to come
down. So clic floated about up there
auioug thunderstorms and clouds and
crows aud aurora borealises for several '
hours enjoying the scenery and studying J
the air rurreuts, and wishing sh j bad
brought her muff aud a Look to read.
Then she eommcuccd to descend gradu
ally until she came uythin a couple ol
hundred feet of the earth. She thou
screamed some as she floated along, and
several enthusiastic students of natural
history tried to bting her down with
shot-guns, under the impression she was
! some new variety of ostrich or fisiuiugo.
I But a sudden gust of wind struck Mrs.
J Moyer, and blow hci against the Pres
byterian church with such force that
the "inflated gossamer bustle" exploded
violently, impressing the sextou with
ihe conviction that the sacred edifice
I had been sirnrdw by lightning. But Wbeji
he cume- out aud saw Mrs Mover
caught by her pannier on the weather
ork, with her parasol pointing east or
west, as the wind happened to .shift, he
comprehended the situation It cost six

A writer iu Chamber's Juurual, on
'Short Speeches and Court Correspon
dence," gives a budget of anecdotes some
of which are fresh, and others, well ?
otherwise Here are the best of (hem :
"An American judge once intervened
in an odd way to prevent a waste of
words. He was sitting in chamber."! and
seeing, from the piles of papers iu the
lawyers' hands, that the first case wa*
likely to be hardly contested, he asked,
?What is the amount in questiou V ''Two
dollars,' said the plaintiff s counsel. 'I'll
pay it,' said the judge, handing over the
money ; 'call the uext case.' He had
not the patience of taciturn Sir William
Grant, who alter listening for a conplc
of days to the arguments of counsel as to
the construction of an a?t, quietly
ab.-crved, when they had done, '-The
act is repealed." One morning a woman
wa.s shewn into Pr. Abernethy's room;
before he could speak, she bared her
arm, saying ''Burn," "A poultice," said
the doctor. Next day she appeared,
showed her arm and said, "Better."
"Continuo the poultice." Some days
elapsed before A berncthy saw her again;
then she said, "Well, your fee f" "Noth
ing," quoth thp gre; ^ lhedieo ; "you are
the most sensible woui nn I ever saw 1"
Lord Aberdeen, the Premier of the
Coalition Ministry, was remarkable for
the little ttse ho made of his tongno.
When, by way of reconciling him to
accompanying her on a soa trip, the
t^utcu smilingly observed : "I believe,
my lord, you are not oftou seasick f"
"Always, madam," was tho brief but
significant reply. ''But," said she, "not
very seasick f" "Very, madam," said
tho uucomproiuisiug minister. An in
<|uiu!tive French bishop once caught a
Tartar in tho l>uko de Koquelaire. The
latter passing in hasto through Lyons,
was hailed by tho bishop with "Hi!
