PETTY sWINpLEs, d.

The New York Democratic News gives
graphic picture ofthe manner in which pco-
ple are swndled in the purchase ut small ar
tieles at the groceries of that city. The Or
dinancey about weights and measures are
said to have no effect, and the vender OF soft
soap and onions, potatoes and butter, beer
and yeast, goes on with his petty pecuiations
upon his innocent customers with as much
indifference IS though no public enaetments
had ever been thought Of. Let any prudent
and economical housekeeper Just note the
short weights and adulteratioD OF articles
which are palmed nffupon them in the course
of q month, and they will open their eyes TO
one of the most perfect systems OF small
larceny they could imagine. The pilterng
accomplished, SAYS the Ne~s, IL in such
minute or homeopathic proportions that the
'little Joker liz not discovered until the
whole are Jumped together at the end of the
month. Then it is seen that petty swindling
amounts to grand larceny.
I'm weighing your butter" says the News,
''an expert grocer, can, by slight trick
peculiar to the trade, which is technically
termed lingering do you out Of two ounces
in pound at least and to all appearances
give you good weight; your sugar is, in most
cases, generously impregnated with either
sand or Indian meal, being governed entire
ly by the color and quality of the article
flight. the sand is used; if dark and heavy.
meal Every barrel Of flour has probably
been turned ON the head-the bottom remov-
ed and some t,tenty or thirty pounds Of tour
taken out; this can be done without detection,
unless weighed all that is necessary is to
roll the barrel about few times after the
proceeding, and the swindle is complete
Measures in which your potatoes are parceil-
ed out arc invariably cut down at the top as
soon as purchased. Balance scales always
have lead soidered on the bottom Of the scoop
side, which accounts for the cunning dodge
which is universally practiced, of keeping
weight always upon the scale. And it is all
through the catalogue. Almost every arti-
Gle purchased at grocery store There are
honorable exceptions We know has gone
through the process Of modification before
the consumer has the opportunity of obtain
ing even Il sight at it. .-.,.
This is not a very fattering picture Of the
New York grocers. The only remedy Of the
victims is never to deal with man who has
once cheated them. and to find an honest man
