There is an active demand for First

EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLANT.

A brief aliusiOu to the orisin OF this import.
ant discovery may not prove uu1nLereStlDg
Among the aufhenu 'atsd records OF the re-
owned CaPtsln COOKS VOy age around the
world. is found the statement, that while So
iOurning for a shCr time on the brazilian
Coast o. South America, he observed the ma
tiVes using. in the preparation Of their food, a
/ Decalihr oil. which, upon examination, he
found to uOssess tue appearance. taste and
flavor OF Butter; upon further inquiry, how
ever, hs sscerJaiued that il was simply a sub
stance that the natives distilled in a crude and
imperfect manner from q rich and luXur1Rnt
plant that grew spontaneously and ~abundantly
in that warm tropical country. A few years
ago an eminent French chemist. whie on a
professional visit to the tropics, made numer-
Gus experiments with this remarkable pro-
ductton OF nature, and succeeded In extracting
| q concentrated essence OF the plant. The for
mula for its preparation, and the Sole Right
| for the sale in this country are the exclusive
| property OF this company, by whom it was
purchased from the original discOverer. We

feetly harmIes preparation

200 per cent. is made in the manufacture OF

by able chemists, Is pronounced perfectly free
from any deletel iOus substance, the iDgredi-

7th. In proof Of the foregoing assertions, the
factory of this company is making one ton of

As soon as he gets fairly warm in his seat
and AZ the present registry of the Thermometer
IL won't take him long 10 do that,-we hope the
new Secretary of the Navy Will set himself
about revoking the order issued by his imme-
date predecessor in office changing tie names
OF certain Of our naval vessels. Without takiuz
into account the iIlegaIity OF that act OF Mr.
BorIe's or the ine1trIcable confusion il is sure
10 work both IN the naval records and in the
mind Of the people, the folly and bad taste Of
giving up names which Were not only distinc-
tive and appropriately national. but which
had won for themselves imperi shable lustre
by tie part they bore in the late war in ex.
change for stale lot that had nothing TO recon-
mend them save that they recalled the DAYS of
heather mythology or the proves OF the
British Navy, would alone condemn it in the
mind of all patriotic people.
We are lot able 10 remember an order issued
by any cabinet oficer which called out such
uniformly unfayOrable comment as that of MIR.
Is RE above referred to; and Mr. Robson can
n 10 more appropriate and acceptable way
marx his entry into Office than by expungipg
II from the records of his department.
