The oldest mention of butter (and even that is an obscure one) is found in Herodotus, who fn ys the Scythi ans " stir the "milk of their ranrt'S, G nnd separate that which rises to tho surface, ns they consider it more de licious than that which remains below it." This perhaps goes no farther than cream, but Hippocrates, who wrote 400 years before Christ, and was almost contemporary with II' r odotas, writes rf cream, that when it is violently agitated, "the fat part which is light, rises to the surface j and becomes what is called butter. The heavy and thick part, which re mains below, is kneaded and dried, J and is known by the name of hip j pace. The whey or serum remains in the muddle." Here we have but ter and cheese satisfactorily produced nt least two thousand years ago. But it does not appear from Hippo crates, nor, indeed, from any of the ancient writers who mention it, that butter was ever used aa an article of q ordinary food. That learned Greek phyicta speaks of its emollient qualities, and prescribes it externally as a medicine. Strabto says that the Lnsitan'ans used butter instead of oil; and JE ian mentions that the E st Indians anointed the wounds of their elephants with butter, Galen writes that, ' in cold countries, which do not produce oil," butter is ustd in the baths." Pliny reconv mends it to be rubbed over children's gums in teething, and also for ulcers in the mouth. Plutarch tells of Spartan lady who Ftnelled stron" of kutter. by which it teems to have been ud as a pet fume or ointment. It is never mentioned by any Gretk or Roman writer, as used in coockery, r at lh table. 1 he people of Germany appear to have known the use of butttr at Tery early period, though how furly is not known, lu the colder climte both butter and cheese could readi'y be ra.ide and preserved, while in Italy, Spain and other portions o boutneni ii,unpe, they are not even now largely produced. As a sub stitute, the people of those countries have always been accustomed to the liberal use of good od, both for cook in purposes and for the table. In ine soutn oi frnce butler is sold in the apothecaries' shops, for medicina purpose4, mid one ot the grievances recounted by trawlers in Spain is tSatothey can seldom meet with but ter. In warm countries it is difficult to preserve it for any length of time, and it appears certain that the only butter the ancint nations possessed was in an oily sUite and almost liquid. The Arabs are required to be the greatest consumers of hotter in the world. A cur full of melted butter is an ordinary morning drink among all classes. B.iekhardt, the Arabian traveler, says that the ap petite for its is universal, and the poorest persons will spend half their daily income in order that they may bavo butter at every meal. They m iko it exclusively from the milk of heep and troats, while other n turns ose that of camels, mure and other animals. An important railroad decision has just been rendered by th Su preme Court of Illinois involving a question of great interest to agricul turists whose lands bound or adjoin any of our railroads : Farms lying contiguous to railroads, whose cor ner grounds are kept clear of gross, and whose grain fields or stacks tke fire from locomotives, caa recover damages. But where there is negli ger.ee on the part of railroads and farmers in permitting grass and weeds to grow on the railroad land adjoining the track, and in the fence corners belonging to the farm, so that fires takes on the farm froia the railroad land there can be no recove Q tv. Mutnal neclisrence forbids ac- 4 ' - w tion for damage. The opinion of the Court in the case of the Ohio and Mississippi railway Company vs. Samuel Shan'felt, has just been filed at Mount Veroon, and decides a number of cases on the same ques tion.

Art. 3. Each administration shall make its own arrangements for the despatch of its mails to the other, and shall transport them at its own expense to the frontier of the country of destination. It is also agreed that the cost of the ter ritorial and maritime transit of the mails despatched by one administration to the ot her shall be first defrayed by that one of the two administrations which shall have obtained from the intermediaries the most favorable pecuniary terms for such transit; and any amount so advanced by one for the other shall be promptly reimbursed. Art. i. The standard- weight for the single rate of postage and the rule of pro gression shall be For letters, fifteen grams. For all other correspondence mentioned in the second paragraph of the first article, it shall be that which the despatching ad ministration snail adopt for the mails which it despatches to the other, adapted to the convenience of its interior service. Each administration, however, shall no tify the other of the standard weight it shall adopt, and of any subsequent change thereof. The rule of progression shall always be an additional single rate for each addi tional standard weight or fraction thereof. 1 be weight stated by the despatching office shall always be accepted, except iu case ot manliest mistake. Art. 5. The single rate of postage for the direct correspondence is established as lollows : For letters from the United States, fif teen cents. For letters from Italy, eighteen cen tesimi. For all other articles mentioned in the second paragraph of the first article, it shall be that which the despatching ad ministration shall adopt for the mails it despatches, adapted to its own conveni ence, but each administration shall inform the other of the rate it adopts, and of any change of it. The postage upon any correspondence, however, may be. by common accord, modified whentver the sender shall avail himself of any route which requires a higher rate than that established by this article, and the envelope shall indicate the route preferred either in writing or by the amount of postage prepaid. akt. u. l tie prepayment ot postage on ordinary letters between the United States and Itaiy shall be optional.

Art. 8. Accounts between the two ad ministrations shall be regulated as follows: From the total amount of the postage collected upon letters, added to the amount of regiser fees, and of prepaid postages upon other articles than letters as collect ed by each administration, it shall deduct the cost at the established rates of the in termediate transit of the mails it despatches to the other, and the balance shall be equally divided between the two adminis trations. There shall be excluded from ih i np- COlint all fines upon unpaid or insufficiently paid correspondence, and the deficient postages upon articles mentioned in the second paragraph of article first, all of which shall be retained to the use of the administration which collects them. Art. 9. The correspondence mentioned in the second paragraph of article first shall ie arspati-ued in conformity with the interior system of the despatching ad mi nitration, but always including the fol lowing mles : (a.) The correspondence must be under bands, so that the contents can be readily examined. to) There must be no written commu nication except the date, the name of the sender, the address, ad the price, and manufacturers' marks upon samples of merchandise.

Art. 1 1. The two administrations shall establish by common accord, and in con formity with the arrangements in force at the time, the. conditions upon which the two- offices may respectively exchange in open mails the correspondence-originating in or destined to foreign countries to which they may reciprocally serve as intermediaries.

Art. 12. The post departments of the United States and of ItaJy reciprocally en gage to transport gratuitously across their respective territories all correspondence which shall be exchanged in closed mails with any countries to which they may re spectively servo as intermediaries : Pro vided mhcxv, Th;r nch conveyance shall be effected by the ordinary means of mail conveyance in use ; and that the countries taking the benefits of such gratuitous ser vice shall reciprocally accord the like privilege of free transit across their re spective territories.

The rate for the conversion of the money of the two countries shall be fixed by common agreement between the two offices. Art. 14.
