''quite twenty years of ?<ge; lie had already
11 In.-en mauled nearly three years ton iadv
,1 of rank ami fortune. Full of the tomance
i: of hberty, he hail torn himself from his

Will Salt Preserve Butter.
Will suit preserve butter ? No, that
question is easily answered. Salt is added :
to butter for two reasons?one is to assist ]
in its preservation, the dairywotnen vainly I
: thinking that sail will keep the butter sweet, i
Another set adds salt with dishonest mo- I
lives, with the idea that all the salt put in i
'the butter is sold at the full price the but- >
iter brings. It is a great mistake. Kveiv t
pound of salt put in butter over what is re- <
quired to give it a flavor, instead of bringing
a cash return to the huttermaker, proves i
a positive loss of several cents a pound, 11
because it reduces the value of every pound j i
of butter so over-salted, fYenm-nflv ?< inii^-i ?
as three rents a pound. liutter is not pre- i
served by salt. That. is positive. It will i
l;e? p ju-t as I?mir atal just as sweet as Olive t
oil, without salt, if 110 other substance is in- >
<orporated wit it. It is tin; casein of milk j >
that spoils the butter, and unless fre<-from I
thai, no art can keep it sweet. Butter v
should bo churned at 50de?*., and inuuedi- c
ately afterwards reduced to 4U dej*., and ' |
the less it is touched by human hands the <
better. It miK be worked cool, either with ?l
or without washing, as this is a mooted '<
<|iiestiun, until absolutely free from butter- I
milk or particles of sour cuxl, ami then just s
enough, and no more salt added llian to suit o
tin; taste of the consumer. The salt must d
bet pure, and one <>tmce tu tun pnuuds of t
butter will In! sufficient. Then pack the v
butter solidly in any cask tit' aWtct wood or f<
stone pot, so as to exclude the air, and just ii
suiting as the air is excluded the putter will ti
remain sweet. If it could be kept perfectly v
excluded, the period that it would keep a
sweet, in forever. Yoiu question is answerd. 1
Salt will not preserve butter. t;

A Dinner with Washington.
While Washington was at West l'oitit,
it tlic close of 1779, fortifying that strong
position, says "Notes and Queries," he besought
liini of inviting a certain Dr. Cocli*an
to dinner, nnd his letter of invitation,
jesides giving a picture of the style of livng
at head-quarters, is more rcmrrkable,
inee it is almost the only instance of sporive
wrting in all Washington's corresponletice.
The letter is as follows :
'Dear Doctor : I have asked Mrs. Cocli an

South Carolina Historical Soolety.
A regular quarterly meeting was held
yesterday in the Committee room of the
Charleston Library?-t110 President, J. L.
Petigrne, Ksq., in the chair.
The reports of the Recording Secretary,
i Prof. F. A. Porcher, and the Corresponding
i Secretary, Prof.( \V. J. Rivers, nuw of Coi
lumbia, indicated gratifying progress and
' valuable additions to the historic materials,
records, manuscripts, Jce.,the preserva!
lion of which if< the main object. The Cor|
respondini; Secretary, although now ri>mnv.
I en! from the opportunity of personal attend'
ance and si'rvii'i: :it the regular meetings, is
in active correspondence, according to the
tenor of his ollice, ami has already done
much to approve his own zeal and fidelity,
and to vindicate the objects and purposes of
the association. The Society are fortunate,
though the mediation and services of Prof.
Rivers, in procuring a reliable and intelli>
gent agent in London, who is now engaged
in preparing a descriptive index to all the
Carolina records and documents in th? An.
lonial offire, or other departments of the
Hritisli archives. They have also to acknowledge
thr prompt courtesy and official favors
of our Minister, to tho lion. George M.
Dallas, as of his predecessor at tho Court of
St. James.
Enough has been done by tho comparatively
feeble and preliminary efforts already
put forth, to reward all who feel an intelligent
interest in our prolilic but neglected
past, and we deem it a duty, no less than a
nleasure. to commond !?? ?! -
izetis who appreciate (lie objects contemplated.
The originators of the Society have
gone quietly to work, ami liavo made no
obtrusive appeals, preferring gradually and
surely to wit I i'mi the area of interest and
membership as results and events should justify
tbeir hopes.
The "Laurenss1 Man it scripts'?a large
and valuable donation lately prtfeented by
E. It. Laurens, Esq.?with other and similar
contributions to the stock of the Society,
were referred to a committee composed of
13. II. Carroll, Esq., L. A. Frainptoo, M. D.t
and W. B. Carlisle, Estj?with instructions
to prepare and present a summary report:
and memoir on these documents, after arranging
them. It was decided to change
llie constitution so that from and afteer
the close of the current year of tlio
Society?28tli Juno, 185??the anua) fee
of menil>crship should be $5 00, without
additional charge.fur admission of new members.
It was also resolved to liokl a special public
meeting of the Society in Columbia, oa
somo convenient day of tlie ensuing "commencement
week," and measures have been
ordered to procure a competent orator for
that occasion, of which more pellicular notice
will bo given.
It has been announced in legal form that
the Society will ask: incorporation at tbo
approaching session of the legislature.
