A Novel Way to Detect FalsehOOd.

MULTITUDINOUs are the ways on record
for detecting thief, but there is one
species of sinner that often defies detec-
tion. A light finger may belcrippled, but
a light tongue is hard to stop. The blush
of conscious guilt does not always follow
a fib, and of all selfpossessed men the
professional prevaricator is the calmest.
The tact of successful concealment is
often characteristic of the youngest
falsifier, and his precocious depravity is
often blank stud u to the keenest moralist
or pbysiOgnomist. 1t has been left to the
genius of the physician to discover sure
way of detecting at least a Juvenile pre-
varicator The discoverer of this boy is
a member of the medical profession in
Greene, Chenango County, and his name
is DR.. Williams.
The other evening several mischievous
boys broke into the schoOl-house in that
place, built fire in the same, and were
preparing for hilarious time when they
discovered that the Board of Education
we're after them. Although the school
house was surrounded before they got
wind of the danger, they managed to slip
out of the building unobserved. Some OF
them had been recognized in the build
ing, however, and were brought up before
the physician mentioned for examination.
The first boy put upon the stand "knew
nothing about the affair."" and asserted
his innocence with all the manifestations
of veracity in his countenance. The
doctor was not satisfied He took hold
of the boys wrist and felt his pulse. The
pulsations were unnaturally fast Look.
ing into the boys unwavering eye and
imperturbable face, he said: Young
man, you are lying! You have not
uttered one word of truth about this
matter! Your pulse is now running as
high as 140, and no person enjoying good
health, and telling the truth, would have
as rapid pulsations as that!' The problem
of centuries was solved the boy acknowl-
edged that he had broken into the school
house. Although the heart sent no tell
tale blood to the face, it throbbed its con-
fession in the tiny pulse; and science had
again triumphed where human ingenuity
had been at fault-UtacG (N, ~ Herald.

Artificial Butter.

AT special meeting of the Butter and
Cheese Exchange, yesterday, the sub-com-
mittee appointed to investigate the manu-
facture of artificial butter and the adul-
teration presented a report in which the
results of their examination are fully
stated. These are embodied in the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted
WHEREAS, The attention of the merchants OF
the Butter and Cheese Exchange of New York has
been urgently called to the manufacture OF ana
the traffic in artificial butter, and upon lnvesuga-
ton by a committee appointed by the Exchange

year there has been manufactured and SOLD 10
considerable extent an article called " Oleomarga-
rine, made from suet tallow, and sold as SUD
stitute; and
WHEREAS, While the manufacture and sale of
this commodity a substitute for butter Is mat
ter not within the province OF this Exchange, SO
long as il is sold under its proper name, yet IN
view Of the great danger to the trade of any sue
eessful attempt to force this or any similar COM
pound, or any other substance foreign to butter,
upon consumers by admixture with the pure artl-
cle it is of the first Importance that every effort
be made by the trade individually and as BODY
the new crop, upon the purity of which depends
the future of American butter as article of ex-
port and, indeed, the supremacy of the dairy in
our agriculture; be it, therefore,,
ResOtUed, That the Butter and Cheese Exchange
of New York, while it would encourage all ex-
periments, inventions or applications OF science
or of skill for the production of pure article OF
this important staple of commerce, hereby EN-
phaticaiy condemns any process of adulteration
or mixture, and the fraudulent attempt to sell
such product for pure butter.
ReSOIUed, That the dairymen and merchants and
all others interested in this trade throughout the
United States and Canada be and are hereby re-
quested to report to the Secretary of the Butter
and Cheese Exchange of New York all instances
of this practice that may within their knowl-
edge, for exposure through the authority of this
Exchange.
ResolSed, That these proceedings be published
In the official circular of the Exchange, and also
be furnished to the press for publication.
This report of the subcommittee was
unanimously adopted.-N. Y. Tribune,

Let it not be forgotten that the
Republican party in nation and

Let it not be forgotten that the

Let it not be forgotten that the

The Cleveland Heraldis displeas-
ed at seeing Republican journals
in other States attributing the Re-
publican defeat in Ohio to wrong
causes, and in recent issue takes
occasion to honestly state
what the real causes were. The
liquor question was one of these,
and so was the third-term business
"a word from General Grant re-
pudiating that ambition" says the
Herald, "would have saved a
great many votes in Ohio" The
Herald denies that the Republican
defeat was in any measure due to
Republican apathy, and an over
confidence begotten of an expecta-
ton to win. 1t says "the informed
Republicans in Ohio have had the
gravest fears and apprehensions
for months. They predicted de-
feat, first, from the crusaders and
next from disGfected-not apathetic
Republicans. The truth was
not that Republicans refrained
from voting, bit that they roted The
Den,oc a &c ticket"

The lessons which the decisive
victories won by the Democracy in
the above States, teach, is that no
party, however firmly established,
can long survive when held togeth-
er by the cohesive power of pub
lie plunder.
Whatever patriotic impulses may
have actuated the dominant party
party in years pasta feeling
which the Democracy shared with
their opponents-the leading spirit
of Republicanism have made the
fatal mistake in supposing that the
'war record" of the dominant
party at Washington gave them a
license to enter upon such fields OF
disgraceful corruption as have
alarmed taxpayers and oppressed
every business interest of the
country.
The purpose of the verdicts Just
rendered ut the ballot box are I'M
mistalkable. Tired of nepotism,
and the corruptions which have
sprung up in the Republican party
from a long continuance in power,
the people are resortipg to that
quiet and reserved right of resolu-
ton through the ballot, which is
far more potent as an arbiter than
the bayonet.
The people have seen that crime
and Generalization are no barriers
in the way of political elevation
that buying and selling votes has
ceased to cause a frown; that seats

positions are bought and sold like

The New York Times has sent
a special correspondent to Louis

from him are a conclusive answer
to the "raw head and bloody bones"
theory upon which the organs have
been trying to conduct the cam

these letters the Times says:
The planters and other white
citizens were informed that our
correspondent came from the New

described in the South as "black

shot, or riden on n rail, or tarred

There Is an evident spirit of in
subordination among the German
element in the Republican party.
They will not submit to have can
didates foisted upon them who
are not in sympathy with those
broad ideas Of liberty which are
peculiar to them as a people.
Nothing can exceed the indie
pendence Of the Michigan Journal,

German news paper in Michigan
which processes to be Republican.
Mr.. Cornell, is the editor, being a
delegate to the late Republican
State Convention, was most shame
fully snubbed because he offered a
resolution favoring the submission
Of the question Of license as against
prohibition. The Committee on
Resolutions, composed of men
whom the late Thomas II. Benton
would have denominated "tallow
rags" would not deign to accept it,
much less agree TO have it offered
to the Convention. Justly indig-
nant at such treatment, Cornell
published an article in the Jouyrd
denouncing the cowardice and
stupidity of the Republican Con
