Radical Pow-wow in CheaGerflel d
CLOVER HILL, CHESTERFIELD,
:. = llctnhpr 20 1871

Editors Of the Dispatch:
In accordance with notice given some
days since, the operations at our mines
stood still to-day, all the negroes being on
the qua uiue in anticipation of a speech from
MIR. Charles 81. Porter. That gentleman
made bis appearance about noon, accom-
panied by Colonel Humphreys and two
negroes. The crowd was soon hushed In
silence, listening to the profound wisdom
OF their great leader as he expounded to
them the deeply interesting subject of the
constltutionality Of the homestead bill and
Its relation to dnte.6elluna debts. He also
discussed the relative debts of the yarious
States. and drew bis comparisons between
those under Radical and those under Demo-
cratic rule. No doubt all this was thorough
ly understood and hugely appreciated by
the attentive audience, as your correspond
cnt afterwards heard one Of them say that
nc 'sddHt know what dem ante. bel,um
things was, but he knowcd twas something
for thar good"
He didn't say word about the whlp-
ping-post, of which he seems to have 4
mortal dread whenever he is in such close
proximity to Judge Cox. Unfortunately
there was no one to reply, rs none of our
candidates were present. The ceremony
was ended by q distribution OF pamphlets
among the crowd. Unfortunately for Por-
ter, bc handed them to one of our loqua-
cious. Conservatives for distribution, who
mounted the stand in the manner of a
cricr, and handed them to the individuals,
telling them that the packages contained the
two-thousand-dollar homesteads, the orders
for "that mule and forty acres Of l1nd,"
money for their taxes, &c. | heard one
offer another eight dollars for bis order.
Our county did well ut the last resistra-
ton, and If our voters will only turn out at
the coming election we are bound to beat
the Radicals. However. am sorry to say
that there are some whom we had good
opinion of who have shirkcd the rcgistra-
tion. and express an indifference as To the
result of the election. Should we not
class them with the Radicals? MINER.

Some Powders, Perfumes and Flavors

A charming receipt for scent powder,
to be used for wardrobes, boxes, etc, fal
finer than thSmixtures sold at the shops,
is the following Coriander, orris root,
rose leaves and aromatic calumus, each
one ounce; lavender flowers, two ounces
rhodium wood, onc-fourth " drarhm
musk, five grains, These are mixed aud
reduced to coarse powder The scent
on the clothes is as if all fragrant gar
den flowers had been pressed in their
folds.
A perfume for note paper, said to be
that used by the Queen of England, is
made of powdered starch, one-half ounce;
fresh orris powder, the same otter of
roses, ten drops. Put this in bag and
keep it in the writing-desk with paper
All delicious havors may be improvised
by keeping the substance in deodorized
alcohol. How deo1orized ? BY filter
ing through animal charcoal or bone
black in powder, the black may be used
many times over thick flannel bag,
with wire ut the top, will answer for a
filter. Fill it with the black dust and
pour the alcohol in it, leaving it to settle
through. Have wide-mouthed bot IS
with glass shoppers ready, and fill with
alcohol; then fill with powdered or
lemon peel, peach leaves, almonds,
slices of pineapple, raspberries, or fresh
cherries, and you will have finer as
sortment of havors than any manufac-
turer can furnish you. II yon wish,
however, fiavors which are ont of reach. 3.
1T is best to use compounds of which
you are not ignorant.
Banana may be initiated with oil of
jasmine and very little tartaric acid.
Strawberry, with very strong tine
tlre of orris and very little ascetic
ether one ounce of the tincture and
one-eighth of ether
Strong tincturc Of orris root resem-
bles raspberry.
Pineapple is made of butyric ether,
the acid itself coming from the trans
formation of rancid butter by a chemi-
cal process.
Very little of these preparations is
needed t. give the desired flavor.
Four ounc of the tinctures mentioned
will supply flavor enough for constant
use Turing the whole summer.

Poisoned Whiskey.

The Philadelphia Price Current says
Western distillers have recently invented
new system of manufacturing whlskey,
by means of which \ peculiar strength
and odor is impaired to the product,
highly injurious to the health OF the
consumers and certainly not crehitable
to those engaged in it's sale. Neither
the noxious ingredients themselves nor
the process of manufacture are known
to many outside the ring, but sufficient
has leaked out to show the character Of
the men and the business. Sulphuric
acid is blended with the mash or applied
directly to the product of the s"'ls,
which imparts a disagreeable odor TO
the whiskey aud so powerful is its Of
feet upon it that it corrodes and eats mp
the inside Of the barrels in which the
foul compound is kept.
Another feature of this rot-gut, sold
under the name of whiskey, is that it
cannot be extracted bv any process OF
distillation, redistillation, or rectifica-
ton. This fact has caused its presence
to he traced in high wines purchased
from the West 10y respectable dstillers
here, and prompted them to shut down
on the nefarlons traffic ms injurious to
lite and the interests of the trade. BY
experiment it has been tested that il n
small piece of iron or copper is inserted
into a barrel of whiskey adulterated
with this acid the entire mass will be
instantly blackened, and if left in it for
"A short time will evolve IA large quantity
of disascetate of copper or verdegris.
Such compound cannot fail to prove
iearfully injurious to the public health,
if brought into general use, and we are
glad to perceive that combined effort
is contemplated by the trade to discard
it altogether. If this be not sufficient,
the consequences are sufficiently serious
to cell for some Legislative enactment by
which the sale of this poisonous stuff
shall he prohibited under the severest
napa1t,aC

the other day that since M. Theirs had
been proclaimed President the receipts
of the establishment had been 70 per
cent. more every day than they had been
since the war was proclaimed in July,
1870. He also informed me that in one

boot and shoe-makers, ladies' liner
shops, MERGERS, glove-makers, fan-mak
ers, and every trade that depends upo'.
the fashions of fashionable Paris ar"

reason of the orders which are received
from visitors and residents in Paris, bu
also from the enormous purchases mad \
and making for foreign markets. Wha

Selling by Weight.

A reform which we hope TO see accom-.
plished, and which in justice to the pro.
ducer, retailer and consumer should be
urged until obtained, is the selling by
weight of vegetables, fruit, eggs and
nearly every edible article now sold by
measure. There ought not to be any
abandonment OF the effort until this
result is accomplished. 1t is the only
Just way of buying and selling. The
boxes in which fruits are sent are Of all
sizes and shapes. They ale filed in all
sorts OF ways. Cases of the same number
of boxes, from different producers. will
differ from three to six pounds in weight
Of fruit, though the quality thereof may
be the same. The fa nily who buys from
one consignment gers d )re for the money
paid than those who y from another
the producer, who is lost honest, gets
least. A premium is t.. ., paid for decep
ton, to call it by no wo. Sc lame ; and
the worst of it is, the costumer in nine
ont Of ten instances, does not know that
he has been cheated.
Apple and pear barrels are rs varied
in size as clover leaves. man who
buys barrel of apples does not know
whether he is gettn. two or three bush
els. Few pesple stop to think about it.
There is no law fixing the standard of a
barrel of apples sr other fruit that We
know Of. If producer is honest enough
to send his apples in barrels containing
two and half to three bushels. there are
plenty of dealers dishonest enough to
transfer them to barrels that contain but
two bushels and barrel of apples is a
barrel of apples, no matter what its size.
Either there should be barrel standard
fixed, or the fruit should be sold by
weight.
Take eggs as another example. Sold
by the Dozen it is often the case that the
same person pays as much for n dozen
small as for a dozen large eggs-getting
in the one instance from one-third to
one half less actual weight for his money
than the other This is not only unj ust
to the consumer, but to the poulterer
who keeps large and improved breeds of
chickens. True, dealer may charge
more per dozen for the large than for
the small ones. Some retailers do: but
the retailers pay the commission mer-
cnant no more per uOZen 1Or Darfel OIL
large eggs with the dozens it contains
marked on it than for small ones. Eggs
packed in barrel should be weighed
before packing. and the net weight
marked on the barrel, so that the com
mission merchant may know what he is
selling and the retailer what he is buy
ing.
We might urge the same reasons for
weighing vegetables of all sorts. There
is a great difference in the real value of
punches OF asparagus, rhubarb, celery,
radishes, &C, as put on the market. We
understand what difficult reform this is
to accomplish-tha it is an innovation
which is revolutionary bnt this is revo-
luton which ought to be undertaken,
and which must be successful. p. american
