The AdulteratiOn OF Candies.

THE adultoration of candies in New
York has become of late years alarming,
and in order to produce cheap articles
manufacturers are adulterating with vari-
Gus extracts and substances which are
either injurious to consumers, or deadly
poison. Many children are doubtless
yearly sacrificed by the absorption into
their systems of these denominations mad
vertently given by parents. Terra alba,
or white earth, costing but IA cents a
pound, is extensively used instead of sugar,
and lozenges are produced by cheap
dealers at from Q to cents pound less
than the cost Of sugar at wholesale. In
the manufacture of gum drops, glue is
used in lieu of gum-arabic, the former
costing but few cents pound, and the
latter about 40 cents. Verdigris, Tonka
beans, Paris green, chrome yellow, Berlin
blue, aniline, and sublimate of mercury
are all used, each Of which is either a
deadly poison, or very injurious to the
system.
The common method of havoring can
dies, in order to produce them economical
ly, can be readily accounted for. Poisonl
are much cheaper than genuine extracts
Peach flavors in candied almonds and
sugar plums are obtained from fusil oil
which is very poisonous. The bitter al
mond flavor is created from unadulterated
prussic acid; pineapple is procured from
very rotten cheese and nitric acid. Can
dies are made, purporting to be favored
with fruits from which no extracts can be
obtained. The limitations are all poison
GUS Cheap candies are means of desc
lation in numberless households.
The foregoing is from statement by
Henry Maillard.- Neu York Sun.

L. s. GRAVES, of Louisville, shot him
self in that city short time ago. He had
an insurance policy of $4,000 on his life,
containing the following clause If the
insured shall die by his own hand, by
delirsum tremens, or the use of opium, or in
consequence of duel, or the laws of any
nation, State, or province, the policy shall
be void" In a suit to recover the insur-
ance, the jury found for the widow, on
the ground that the assured was at the
time in momentary fit of moral insanity,
which subjected his will and inpelled the
homicide beyond the power OF selt.con.
troll or successful resistance The Court
held that the inevitable act of an insane
man, who, in that respect, is morally
dead, is not in the sense OF the law or Tho
recited conditions his voluntary act.

Henry r. Tryon, in the Rural Neso

a horse belonging to him: 1.-TWO years
ago thought large Clyde colt which had
a wart as large as a mans fist on the hind
leg, just below the stihe joint. The fol.
lowing remedy procured from an Eng
fish horse farrier, which not only re-
moved the wart, but left the surface
smooth and it haired over. / purchased
two ounce phial of butter Of anthony,
and applied it with feather tied to the
end Of long stick, three times a day,
until satisfied that the roots of the wart
were dead this can be determined by dis
continuing the application for week; il
the wart starts to grow apply more). AT
ter had thoroughly burned it out in this
way, applied the following to heal it
over: One pint rum, one-half pint soft
water, one ounce aloes, one-fourth ounce
myrrh pulverize the aloes; mix and
wash. applied this wash three times a
day, and it healed over smooth and nice.
Now have given gratis remedy which,

of peaceful citizens, residing in the
country, being assassinated by modified
Spanish troops The instruction, says
Phillips, continues in full force. 1t is
estimated that fifty per cent. Of the
Spanish volunteers are disabled from
sickness, and the hospitals are full and
overflowing. 1t is generally known and
admitted by liberal minded Spanish
officers that it is impossible to suppress
the instruction.

The LATE STAGE RoBBERY.-We stated
in our issue of yesterday, on the authority Of
the Gold Hill News, that the driver of the
Pine Grove stage was suspected Of having
perpetrated the robbery OF Wells, Fargo &
Co.'S treasure, which we mentioned . few
days since. The story now comes to US that
the money was found buried at or near the
garden of Wellington's Station by Pine
Grove Constable, who worked up" the case
by following certain peculiar horse tracks,
which we're visible about the place of the al
legged robbery. The driver had stated that
he was robbed by three men in disguise. The
officer found but one mans tracks near the
place where the stage was stopped. He also
found the tracks Of a horse which had one
shoe missing, leading to and from the place.
He followed these horse tracks to q place
where the treasure box had been burned and
then traced the said tracks for about 4 milk |
and half to the place where the earth was
newly turned; and digging in that place he !
found the money. tits stated that the driver |
had horse with one shoe missing and all |
circumstances combined lead to his being |
suspected. We are further informed that
Hickey, the driver. has been arrested. If
what we have repeated be true, circumstances
do certainly point to his guilt.

During Sherman's march TO Atlanta the army

did not sleep under tent; but Thomas carried
with him his silver and linen, and dined and
slept In his accustomed style; his headquarters
were known as "Thomasville," because Of the
state which he kept up there. He possessed q

the tribune from St. Paul says that the St.
Paul Press this morning publishes the cOrre-
spondence between Allen Melville, of New
Minnesota State railroad bonds, and the Hon.
B. T. Butler. Mr.. Melville says in his letter
that as Minnesota is rich, and won't pay, and
wont aIbitrate, and won't consent to be sued
by bOndholders, there is one other way TO have
her sued, and that is by another State of the
Union. He asks Gen. Butler whether Massa-
chusetts for the honor of the whole American
people, Will accept arespectable amount of the
bonds for some charitable institution and make
an example Of this great North Western Repnh-
lic. If she will, he says he can procure the gift

most probably Massachusetts would accent

support of her State charities, and undertaLe
