From the evening Telegram OF yesterday
BOSTON July Q, 1868.
The absorbing interest OF the community in the
pending political Convention in New York Is almost
overcome by the enthusiasm Of the presence here Of
the two visiting companies, and ID, OF the Twenty.
second regiment OF New York city. Rarely, If ever,
have visitors been more cordially welcomed and
seldom has 1t been the privilege OF Bostonians to
witness the parade and drill Of more meritorious
organizations. dress parade, opposite the st.
James Hotel last evening was appauded by thou
sands and in the Music Hall at n later hour Mr.. bod
worth gave promenade concert and hop. The
military skill rs displayed by the corps elected ap-
particularly merorious and the highest praise
from all. This morning the guests went over to
Charestown, where, under escort OF the cadets OF
that city, they visited the Bunker Hill Monument
and Navy Yard and then went on an excursion down
the harbOr.

The NEW YORK GRocERs.-rhe New York World
says: The adulteration Of food in this city has
become regularly systematised. There are &C.
tualy large establishments. doing an extensive
business. solely in the preparation and sale of
adnlterants. The grocer is in communication with
these houses, and sends for his ground beans bone
dust, p. ID. Tor pepper dust), or what not, as he
has occasion. very common adulterant used in
coffee and pepper is ground ship bread. Large
quantities OF old or damaged bread Of this kind
accUmulates in this port from ships arriving from
long voyages. Sailors will not eat stale bread
when they touch shore, and the surplus on shore
is therefore sold. There are regular buyers of
this stuff who grind il and sell IL as an aduterant
to gfocers, Some of the sduterants like chicofy.
are becoming expensive, and now even they are
beginning to be aduterated. To use the Ian guage
OF the London Quarterly Review upon this sub.
ject To such pitch OF refinement has the art
of fabrication of aimentsry substances reached
that the very articles used 10 adnlterAe are them
selves adulterated, and while one tradesman is
picking the pockets of his customers, still more
cunnins rogue is unknown to himself, deep ia his
own" Food is not alone sdulterated. The fraud
is carried into almost every article we take into
our siomachs. Drugs are adulterated to fright
fol degree. To such an extent has the tampering
with medicines reached. that physicians are now
doubtful of the effect of their prescriptions unless
they abayze the apothecaries' doses themselves.
A kinds OF wines aud liquors are badly adulter-
aled so are tobaccos and snufs. Confectionery
is, TO considerable extent, adulterated with
earthly matter and colored with poisons. Milk, as
swell known, is watered. and chemists have found
In it chalk starch aud sleeps brains. Even the
al which is retsiled by the peck measure to the
poor by small grocers, frequently contains Stones
And so on through the whole category of articles
used by usekeepers
