Scientific Rascality.

1t is no longer a secret of the chem

syrups can be made from starch and
sulphuric acid that delicious wines
and brandies can be made from beet
root, with others for flavor, that a
barrel Of peanuts can be transformed
into excellent coffee that lard can
absorb an enormous quantity Of wa
ter in certain conditions that, in fact
there seems no limit to the adnltera
tons than an intelligent and dishon-
est chemist cannot practice upon the
his fellow men. All these marvels Of
chemical science have in these latter
days become degraded into mere
tracks of trade, and their cL eff beauty
is in their capacity to enable unscru-
pulous dealers to tighten the pockets
and destroy the stomich Of the con-
finding and consuming public, Con-

writer tells us that it is made ilom a
thousand different substances-even

The Assassinstio of Thomas Darcy
McGee.

The telegraph brings us the shock
ing news of the assassination of this
brilliant Irish orator, who was shot
Ottawa, Canada. yesterday morning.
as he was entering his lodgings up
on his return from the Parliament
buildings.
Darcy McGeo was born about the
year 1922, probably in Wexford, Ire
land, where Of any reliable sketch of
his life, we cannot state these partic.
ulars with perfect accuracy He
came to this country while quite
young, and there are many residents
Of Chicago who remember his thrill
ling and eloquent speeches at lowell
and Providence, while yet n mere
boy in short jackets. He was, for a
time, editor of the Boston Pilot, and
subsequently started paper IN New
York. called, we believe, the 4meri-
can Nation, which lived, however,
but brief period He went back to
Ireland. and was prominent in the
disturbances Of '48, with Smith

and John Mitchell More fortunate
than O'Brien and Mitchell, he effect.
ed his escape in The disguise of
Capuchin monk, and returned to this
country. where he commenced the
publication Of the american Get, a
paper which acquired q wide circuIa-
ton and influence among the Irish~
men in America, and which, VIC be-
lieve, was first published in New
York, afterward at Buffalo, and then
again at New York. On account of
McGee's opposition to the election
Of Buchanan, his paper rapidly de-
clined in circulation, and was soon
discontinued, whereupon McGec
sought his fortunes in Canada.
Like Mitchell, McGee in this
country proved false to the princi-
pies he stood up so manfu!ly for in
Ireland Instead of being an apos~
tic OF freedom, he voluntarily be-
came the willing instrument of TYR
amy. Choosing the loaves and fish
es Of government patronage, rather
tnan Inc DaFueF rare winch would at
tend the champion of his country
cause, he deliberately joined the par
ty Of her oppressors, and threw the
whole weight of his influence against
the efforts to secure her nflanchise,
ment. AS might have been expects
ed from such a man, be took the
side Of the rebels in their war to dis,
solve the Union. He lived too long.
He had wiped out his honorable rec
ord as the would be atater of Irish
Independence and universal liberty,
turned his back upon his many pro
fossions. and goes into history with
something very like the brand of
renegadism upon his name and fame.
It.is quite probable, indeed, that his
career was thus violently closed by
some enthusiast in the cause OF Irish
independence, " hose breast was fired
with high indignation at what he
considered McGee's recreancy to the
cause of his country, and those who
sought to compass her liberation

Senator Yates.

Illinois has to regret that she has
one public servant over whom she
must mourn as over q fallen SON.
With 4 brilliant intellect-with a
commanding capacity, that places
him among the foremost men of the
nation-with a character that, in all
respects except one command the es
teen of the public-Senator Yates
has suffered a vicious habit so COM
pleteIy to overcome him as to render
his presence in Washington anything
but useful in the State or honorable
to himself. In this he is entitled
rather to the commiseration than the
condemnation Of the public; for no
man ever wrestled harder than he to
break the chain that binds bim-no
man ever felt more keenly than he
does the disgrace that it brings upon
him. Washington is no place to fight
the battle that be must fight before
be can again stand morally erect be-
fore his fellow men; and the sooner
be leaves the public life the beaten
will it be for himself, and perhaps
for his State. Illinois cannot well
afford always to loose his services.
his head, when he is his own master,
is too clear, his heart too large AID
manful, his capacity for public SER
vices too great, to be lost from State
and national councils. But for the
present lie should step aside, and lot
some one who is not enthralIed as
he is to take his place. As we view
this matter, no consideration of per-
sonal or party feeling should restrain
his friends from insisting upon his
resignation-on the contrary, both
party and friends would render him
an essential service by procuring
his rctirement.-Carrollton (Ill.) Pa,

Great Questions.


Robert Dale Owen, the great phil
osopher very often runs off IL track.
In one of his lectures lately he SAID
The English laborer Of the four-
teenth century could buy with his
weekly wages two and half bushels
of wheat, while to day a weeks wa-
ges will buy but one bushel. The in
Production of machinery in England
had caused competition between men
and machines, and the machines were
preferred, while the msa went home
to starve. Mechanical improvements
were by some perversion driving out
the laborers, and so becoming curse.
British statesmen finally put pres
MUM on emigration, TO facilitate
the expulsion of the laborer. How
ever, In America we could point To
the fact that laborers earned four
bushels of wheat week. ct even
here there might be brought about a
state of things similar 10 that which
exists in ngland. Ii the inventive
genius of America created labor-s saw
ing machines, would not the laborer
be crowded out?
Just what Mr.. Owen means in this
presentation OF facts and suggestions
we will not undertake to say. he
omitted to suggest any remedy tor
the evils which he depicted, but left
the impression strongly on the minds
OF his hearers that something must be
done to protect the laborer against
thu machine II might not he inap
propriate, however, TO ask him this
QUESTION. Ii the laborer, in this coun-
try, is able to earn only four bushels
of wheat per week, how many bush>
els would he earn if all the patent
reapers, cultivators, churns, plows
and threshing machines were des-
tr0yed If he is able to earn only
one shirt per day, how Glany would
he earn ii all the cotton.spinning
looms and sewing machines in the
world were abolished
reAThe state department has been
recently in correspondence with the
British government, with view to
forming treaty recognizing the
rights of naturalized American citi>
zens, and fixing definitely the law OF
expatriation, which has so long been
an open question between the two
governments. From the latest Off
cal dispatches read from the Eng.
lish ministry, there does not appear
to be the slightest doubt that the
administration will succeed in bring

FATTENING CALvEs.-A sensible
practical farmer says that he has of,
ten Doticed that calves would thrive
better on milk that was not rich in
butter than on what was commonly
called very rich milk. The nutri-
tive elements of milk reside chiefly
in the caseine. If you have a COW
that gives quality poorer in butter.
it is better, in every way, to feed the
calf on the milk of the latter. The
calf will thrive better, and you will
get more butter from the milk Of
the first cow.-E,rchdnge
