The Milk iukI Ilnllcr HnMltieNN.
Uncle John SisBon, of the Triadelphla
district, wua In town Saturday. Undo
John Im ouu ol thpso farmers who always
lake a healthy and cheerful view of the aglu
ultunil hiiuntion, and herein ho differs
widely from very many other farmers. If
things do notexactly suit him ono year he
hopeH and expects better luck next year.
Whatever Is in riyht with him. A healthy
complexion and a good natured smile al*
ways irradiate hla face. All thin is preliminary
to taying tiiat Undo John regards
thiri as a tungnillcent year for the farmer,
lie speaks in flowing terms of tho corn and
the bountiful condition of tho pasture
tielda. "Why, then," we asked, "la butter
ho ileal?" "Uecause hired help is so scarce
in the country," said he, "and the women
of the house do not care to undergo the
drudgery of milking and churning." Therefore
the farmers are keeping fewer cowa
than formerly.' The girls who go out for
domestic service prefer to come to town,
I.ut an increased number, as compared
with iormer days, do not go out at all,
Their families prefer to have them stay at
home.
It will be remembered by some of our
wider* that Col. North, of the Kichlan^
di.slrid, made this same observation earlier
in the year, when asked why pasture was
mm plentiful ami yet butter so nnaturally
M-arce and dear. 'He too gave an
tlu1 explanation the dilliculty of getting
good ^irls in the country any longer, and
iJji* reluctance of farmers' wives and dau^liters
to milking and churning beyond the
iii'ivshities of their own households. And
tlms it happens that au extra good year in
tlit' way of abundant pasture witnesses a
hiuli price ("0U?tt5 cents) for butter.
Is there a remedy for this state of things?
The people want butter, but only a limited
number want it at thirty and thirty-five
raits. It is with butter as it was with bee/,
when the latter was so high n few months
ago. The price seriously curtailed consumption.
To such an extent did the consumption
fall oil'that with an actual diminution
in the supply of cattle, beef gradually
became plcntier and the price uecliued. Totlay
it is to he had at the old price of "a
shilling a pound," or, in plainer words, at
l-l cents.
This decline in meat provides au offset
to the demand for butter in many house*
holds, hard is wholly used for cooking
purposes by them. Meat takes the place
of butter. And yet, despite this curtailed
demand for butter, the price of it still keeps
up, and it seems as if rich pastures and an
abundance of hay were not able to effect a
change, but that wc are going into the winter
season at a very high starting point for
ui mi: ncucfcsuica oi me. Anu mi uer.m-iii
there is not domestic help enough in
t/ie country to make butter sufficient to
niw.t the demand. %
The contrast between these days aud
former days is striking enough. A generation
::go butter was supplied- in abundance
at (> to 8 cents per pound, brought to
.town .-it that by the women of the laiid,
ami exchanged for calico at the rate of
ulitee pounds of butter for oue yard of calwo.
Now the tables are completely reversed,
and more than reversed, for it
takes five to six yards of calico to buy a
pound of butter.*
We presume that milking and churning
*??'ro us hard work in those days as in these
latter days, and, if anything, a little harder,
for these ara the days of patent churns,
inchidingdog chums, and there isnowa
patent contrivance for squeezing the udders
and exuding the lacteal fluid. But still the
number of dairy maids and matrons diminishes:
as it would seem, aud per coubuHiieucfc
the number of cows. What is the
use in cows and nobody to milk them?
Therefore they are fattened for the stall of
lhe butcher, and we are forced to utilize
them in a solid instead of a liquid way. Is
it any wonder that some old-fashioned peo
pie #ipfak of those days as degenerate day*,
ami love to contrast them with the days
when the
"Ituy* usvd to icapAtul mow,
Ami the Kiel* ?it mid tew.
(Aud lUewlw uiilk mul cliuru)
on tin* banks of the Ohio."
The question arises, have the farmers
<&o\ S3 well oil' raising aheep and wool that
they don't care to bother about cows
any more? And have calicoes and
delaines and muslins and woolen wear
not so cheap, and the fashions and extravagancos
of the day so exacting, that country
maicirt and matrons have no time left from
he sewing machine for the old-fashioned
occupations of milking and churning? Is
>t true, as MarkTvflin says, that "everything
is cut bias and Btitched double"
tho?? d>\X8, and that -"raising babies and
wives are among the lost arts"? So it would
Jteem.
At all events we are impressed with the
fioioos aspects of this question, and we
recuiumftid to the Honey's Point Dobating
Society the discussion of the following

which you had requested-^-until 2o'clock in '

verse opinion wag read. This, in the most <
impoitant'caee of thekind'bf the age, or

until we cease to be a nation. It is ti*ue <
that those lawyers con n t'cted.with your de- 1

the study, of ourdoeumeuts, and it is also |
true that they?whom' you1 represented to |

lonths ban been less tlinn for any like *
eriod since resumption. The diminished J
ittreaac is said by some writers to be q\v- J
lg to the ftiet that "the balance of trade J
as turned nguinst us." But a comparison '
[ the freight trade statistics with the in- 1
easment of circulating mediums will show c
lat there is no apparent conneution.be- t
veen tho two. During the five fiscal years ?

icrement was only 'about $100,000,000.
'uring the last twelve months the mer- ^
iiand'ise imports exceeded the. merchant
ise exports, and yet there was an increaso ^
i the volume of circulation to the amount ij
bovo stated. The victims of the "balance; :
f-trade" delusion persist in putting the 1
art before the horse. Since resumption 1
le increase in the volume of tho medium I
[ exchange, accompanied by an expan- i
on of credits, has inflated prices until the
atural trade corrective has come in, and 1
c are importing more merchandise and
>ss specie. We have imported the latter
ntil we have enough, if not too much,
ud the natural laws of trade have checked r
le inflow. It is the excessive supply of
uirency, including gold and silver, that 1
as caused ithe increased importation of t
lerchandise, rather than the increased im- i
ortation of merchandise that has'caused .
ie recent outflow of specie.
The attention of both the paper and the *

ince resumption, 07" per cent, has been
old, only 2$ per cent silver, in spite of the

Chicago, October 28.?Mrs. ScovilU baa B
been found insane; but she is not to be j
found in any other respect, aa she has die- a
appeared, and her whereabouts are un? c
known. With the peculiar craft of the [
Guitcau race, &he determined to be on the ]
safe side, and while tho jury was debating 1
the question of her insanity alio took her J
leave, and evidently has no intention o(
returning to fall into the hands of tho au*
thoritios. This result is not altogetner unsatisfactory
to George Scoville, as tho vor- *
diet of insanity against his wife nullifies |(
tho proceeding for divorce end alimony i
instituted by her, and now pending, and o
gives him the custody of Bertha, the little
irirl.'
" By 'ft; 30 o'clock this morning several c
antiquated females were perambulating the v
corridor, on the liret tloorof tho court ^
bouse, waiting for tho verdict in tho Scovillecase.
Mrs. Scovillo herself did not ?
come to the court at all. Her attorney i.
mid alio meant to come, but was frightened #
311' by some suspicious visitors that she bad <
yesterday. About 5 o'clock in the after- *,
boon, aiid again at u later hqur, a man J"
sailed at the Sheldon House, when she was
way, to see iter, leaving word that ho was
from the Polico Court. When Mrs. Scovillo
returned and learned of the circumstances
she at once supposed it was a trick *'
jf-her husband to get possesion of their
little daughter Bertha. That altered her
plans, and she seems to have secreted her
self-ever since. '
Tho verdict was agreed upon and sealed 1
last evening, and was opened at 10 o'clock, r(
by, which time tho usual crowd had col- al
lected iii tiie court room, including Mr. tl
b'covilie and his attorney. Tho Judge said
privately that he had warned Mrs. Scovillo
to bo present at the opening of the tl
verdict, but did not regard her presence as al
if 111! tnililllMinaiiftla VVI?<?t? !?. i.--..
; *" -."j'wuww.i,. iivii iMDjuiv cfliui: n
in her absence was referred to, and the ,
Judge said the officers who had called on lt!
Mrs. Scoville were sent from his Court, lie tl
then dirioted the clerk to open and read p
the verdict, which was as follows: w
1 .M.We, the undersigned, jurors in the case
d/ Frances Af. Scoville, who is alleged to be H
insane, having heard the evidence in the
case, are satisfied that the said Francis M. 11
Scoville is insane, and is a fit person to be ?/
jenttoa Stato hospital for the insane; li
that she is a resident of tho County of Ul
Cook, in the State Illinois; that her age ia UJ
forty-six years; that her disease 1b of about 11
iix months' duration; that the disease is *c
with her hereditary; that she does uot m
manifest homicidal or suicidal tendencies, Hl
:tnd that she is not a pauper." a'
The verdict was received by the Court- 01
loom iu siience, una apparently with dis- ..
pleasure. Mrs. Scoville's attorney entered "
i motion for a new trial, and Mr. Scoville *
made a motion for the appoiutment of a
:onser\'Ator, hut the judge informed him H
that he had no jurisdiction over that matter
and that he must apply to the Probate ,
Court. Mrs. Scoville's attorney said pri- *
vately, before the Court opened, that Mrs. P1
Scoville had friends who would run her ,,
?tl' to Canada and support her there if she
.leaired it; c
Immedinlely after tlie rending of the JJj
verdict iu the Couuty Court Mr. Scoville ?
stepped, across the hall into the oflice of )?.
:he Clerk of the Probate Court and filed !"
the following petition: '
' To the Ilouomblc the Judge of the l'robate 7,
Court of Cook County:
Your petitioner, George Scoville, of said
ouutyof Cook, respectfully shows unto c\
YourHonor that ho is" the husband of ^

New Yohk, October 28.?Too only way
i which the friends of Mr. Lewis Lyon, ^
le President of the Third Avenue Rail- c
>ud Company, can explain the murderous f
tempt on him by his nephew, is on the
leory that Schwartz was insane when he ^
jmmitted the uct. Captain Gunner, of ]
ie Twenty-eighth Precinct, remained out a
I night on Friday investigating the cause c
! the uttuek, but his laboru ended fruit- "
ssly. lie is now convinced that the a
icory of sudden insanity is tho only [
roper one. After examining many per- 1
ma who were iutimately acquainted with r
itb Mr. Lyon and his nephew, the Cap- t
iin belivea there was no trouble between S
lem, either of a family or business char- a
:ter. Reasons are now advanced for be- a
eving that Schwartz was of unsound t
lind, which did not occur to his friends i
i first. It is atuted on the authority of t
iose who knew him that he was addicted c
habits which aflected his mind so as to 8
iakc him continuously morose and mel- I
icholy. This drove him to drink to excess i:
; times, although he was not an habitual 8
constant drinker. o
While suffering from a fit of melancholy a
is thought that he shot at Mr. Lyon, who p
as his best friend.' E
Such, his fnends say, was only the nat
rai results 01 a deceased mental condi
on. r
Charles S. .Arthur, Secretary of the Third t
venue railroad company, said to a re- '
Drter to-day: 1
"I did not hear of ihooting affray until
I o'clock Jiiat night A man asked
ic what the . matter was at
le depot and I told him that 1 knew ^
; none; He then informed me that the
reman of the feed department had shot t
the president of the road. I only '
ughed at the statement," not thinking for 5
moment that it possibly could bo true, j
u coming home I got on one of our care
id asked if there had been any trouble
the depot Then 1 was informed of the
rcumetances. Since then I have made a
lorough investigation of the whole matter,
id 1 am. positive that the man had not .
ic slightest motive for committing the '
ime. While I thought so before, I am now J
invinced that Schwartz was of uneound
ind when he entered Mr. Lyon's ollice.
ihwartz's mother is Mr. Lyon s sister. She
res in Baltimore, and has several sons ^
'-sides Charles. The others are in bu.si- ..
.'88 in Baltimore. For many years Mr.
yon has acUd like a lather to his sister's x
lildren. He has done a great deal /or '
em, and has always been regarded with f
eat gratitude by every member of the >
mily. Charles was no exception. lie t>
red his position on the road to Mr. Lyon,
id on no occasion did he show a dispoaim
to be unfriendly with his uncle. He [{
as a bachelor, and received a salary of "
ft ween $1,100 and $1,200 a year. At first j
! started as a conductor on the road, but

The statement that he was threatened jj
th being discharged is absolutely false,
i, you see, that ho had no "reason n

ink that Schwartz was guilty of "
aetices which unsettled his mind. He Jj
io drank considerably of late, and 1 believe
that he had the 'jim-jams.' I have ?
en thinking that I escaped luckily by
t being here. If I had been in the room
hink he would have shot me, for he had
it as much cause as he had to attack the cc
a rreaiaenu in uie aiternoon he went ^
;o Superintendent Robinson's office sevil
times. The Superintendentasked him
lat lie wanted, and he simply replied
)thing,' aud walked out, Baying.that he re
iuldbein again, It happened that the M
porintendent waB engaged with some
rson each time. If he had been alone, I w
ink thatSchwarl* would have abot;bim. w
i was just crazy, and bent on shooting n\
ne one, and [ don't think it made much Bi
Terence who was the victim." w
The body of Schwartz laid all day at the fe
ad-house attached tq Mt Siuai Hospital, al
rly in the morning Air. Lyon, a brother di
Lewis, who is alao employed on the road, ai
