One of the evil results of perverted tastes
is seen in the great demand for sugar candy.
We have often pointed out the evils result
ing from feeding it to children, but it will
be hundred years or more before all
parents will learn that candies are poison
Gus, and should not be allowed to the dear
little ones they love and wish to bring up
with fine health and perfect physical sys-
TENS. To such parents as feed their chill
dren on confectionery, the following, by !"
well posted writer, will be found instru :
tive:
"The adulteration of sugars, candies and
spices is a trade largely and regularly car
which till lately entered so largely into the
manufacture of confectionery, in place Of
sugars, new article has been discovered
called terra alba, or white earth. 1t comes
from Ireland, and costs by the barrel about
two and half cents pound, while loaf
sugar costs seventeen cents. The body Of
candies, the coating of almonds and lozenges
are made from this earthly material. 1t is
winter than plaster, and is much used in the
adulteration of flour sold in this market A
glue, paint and oil manufacturer of New
York has sent round his annual circular,
which | have seen, to the principal confec-
TONERS, calling attention to fresh arrival
of this white earth. I have seen an ounce
of lozenges dissolved in water, in which
two-thirds of an ounce was of terra alba,
and not q particle of sugar in the lot. The
common method of favoring candies, al
monds, sugar plums, etc, is with deleteri-
GUS substances. The pineapple flavor, the
banana and the peach are made from fusil
oils, which are very poisonous. Bitter al
mond flavor is made from prussio acid una
dulterated. Pineapple flavor is also OBJ
tanned from rotten cheese-yery rotten
and nitric acid. Gum arabic for pure gum
drops is costly. An article has been in
vented of the most beautiful appearance,
that is used instead of the gum. 1t is very
cheap and very poisonous. In pure candy
cochinesl is used to color red and saffron
for yellow. But in the common candies
poisonous coloring is put, the same that is
the most common is called 'carlot, into
which arsenic largely enters. A few grains
of the substance will color cask of wine.
Liouorice drops for the trade are made of
poor brown sugar, glue and lampblack, fa-
yored with liquorice. And for the Western
trade much of the vile stuff is packed in
barrels, anG sent West to be put up in boxes
to suit the market, of which from seventy
FIVE to ninety per cent. is terra alba. This
material also enters largely into the COM
mon chocolates and spices. Much of the
cream of tartar used for bread is made Of
terra alba and tartaric acid"

A claim &gont in New Orleans has swim
died the Government out of half million
dollars by means of forged bounty claims.
The worst of ii is, the scamp is still atlarge.
General Sheridan has written letter to
Governor Throekmorton, of Texas, in rela-
ton TO the Brennan riot, informing him that
he will not permit the arrest of Maj. Smith,
U. s. A., or any of his men.
The New Orleans Picayune, one Of the
leading political journals of that city, has
recently come out in favor Of the accept
ance of the pendingreconstru eonstitu-
tional amendment by the South.
During the last two weeks in September,
there were 554 deaths from cholera in
Nashville, Tennessee. This is a frightful
percentage in city with population but
little exceeding 10000.
The result of the trials of heavy ord
nance against solid masonry, iron clad,
just concluded at Fortress Monroe, estab-
fishes the fact that masonry eight feet thick,
faced with four inch plate, iron, offers but
faint resistance to twelve-inch rifed and ff-
teen-inoh smooth bore guns. What will
the proprietors of the warrior and La
GJojre say now?
