A MARKED TRIBUTE.-It is a matter notorious
parties have been making themselves active and
ridiculous in futile attempts to induce President
Grant to remove Mr.. Collector Booth. Beth the
President and the Secretary of the Treasury were
respectful in giving an audience to these frequent
visitors to Washington until their story had been
worn thread-bare. Both were long since con-
WINGED that these petitioners had no backing
worth considering, and that this move against
the Collector was prompted more for the sake of
making change that would be favorable to
themselves rather than for promoting the interest
of the Republican party. Under this conviction
both informed these gentlemen in a respectful
manner that there was no intention at Washington
to make change in the Collectorship at Balti-
more 1t was presumed this would be sufficient
notice that the matter need not be pursued fur
Their But the obstinate persistence with which
they frequented both the White House and the
Treasury Department for the sole purpose of re-
peatng the old story, placed upon the President
and Secretary Bristow the unpleasant duty of po-
litely informing those gentlemen that it was not
desirable to have them call again and they were
finally driven to the necessity of declining to re-
ceive them.
The leading merchants and business men of the
city, without the Collectors knowledge, quietly
circulated a paper thanking the President for his
determination to retain Mr.. Booth as Collector.
large number of the heaviest firms in the city,
irrespective of party, appended their signatures
to this paper. On Thursday of last week it was
presented to the President by delegation Of the
most prominent and influential business men Of
the city, and he informed them that he had
Undermined TO retain that gentleman in Office"

LACToMETER. Prof Chandler, of New York, has
invented lactometer of simple construction and
trifing cost by the aid of which any one can tell
the quality of milk The instrument is so simple
in its use and operation that any one can apply
it and ascertain for themselves whether milk is
adulterated or not. The cost is SO insignificant
that almost any family can afford to purchase
enc. This instrument is certainly an acquisition
in this age of agitation for pure milk. By its use
any family in the city may confront their milk
man at their own door and furnish the indispu-
table testimony that his milk is adulterated, if
such is the case. 1t should be introduced into
every household in our cities and towns that are
supplied with milk. 1t would come in as ma
terial and valuable aid to the desire and effort
that is being made towards having adulterated
and impure milk excluded from use in cities and
towns. No one engaged in selling pure and fresh
milk would offer the slightest objection to its use
On the contrary they would welcome its advent
to every household where they delivered milk
Every producer and vendor of pure and sweet
milk could have one fer his own use in order that
he might not be imposed upon by those who
might be engaged in the inspection of milk, if
law of this sort should be passed for Baltimore's
benefit. 1t not only reveals the presence of adul-
teration in milk, but it shows the comparative
qualities of different miks. The richest milk
records l29 degrees on the scale while the poorest
quality of unadulterated milk only records loo
degrees on the scale

yNS- Among The interesting relics to be exhb
tied at the c0ming Centennial is a large and curl
ousy wrought gold watch since owned by Geo.
Walton, and worn by that illustrious patriot
when he signed the Declaration of Independence
July 4th l776. 1t has been preserved as an heir
loom in the Walton family, and is now 10 tn,
possession of Madame Octavia Walton LIE Vert
the great granddaughter Of George Walton. A
curious concident in connection with the watch
is touchingly related by Mmep LIE Vert. The
watch" said she, sis an excellent time piece and
was made by the once celebrated johnson of Len
don. When wound up it runs thirty.six hours
and never needed repairs 1t was never known
TO stop running but once, and that was al the
death of Mrs George Walton, Jr, the iuheritol
Of the watch at that time. She died at exactly
400 a. 10 The watch was wound uR at the
evening before as uanal, and just as the last flick
ering spark Of life had fed, the watch had ceased
to run" Perhaps" she added 10 q trembling
voice, ''it may in the same manner record the ex,
act hour of my death" Another relic of the
Walton family 10 be exhibited at the Centennial
is the remnants of a porcelain tea sci used by
Mrs. George Walton, Sr., at tea party given ia
the signers of the Declaration of Independence on
the night Of the 4th Of July, l776
