Capt. Thomas gave two exhibit
tons fhis sleight of hand tricks at the
Town Hall Saturday and Monday
evening to small audiences. The
Captain gave good show-one of
the best ofthe kind going, but he
spoils it all with his mouth. People
who pay do not like to be made the
basis Of idiotic jokes-it he wants a
butt to shoot his wit at, let him hire
some one, there are plenty in the mar
ket. We were disguised with him In
this respect when he was here before.
This accounts in great measure for
his Ill success this time, and the soon,
er he learns wisdom on this point, the
better tor him. We wish the Captain
well, and these remarks, though they
may wound at first, may be beneficial
to him in the end.

The book is in remarkable state OF
preservation, every letter and word be-
ing very distinct and plainly visible. The

POISONOUS VINEGAR.
A warning 90 neutrality-suspicious.
out for Your Pickles.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that annually q large quantity OF
POISONOUS vinegar is consumed In thls
clty. This being the case we reprodut e
the following from the Scientific A'nsTt-
can mot excellent authority, nhich SUD
stantiates the theory that such Is Toe
case, and will be found OF lncalculsOie
benefit to the housewife: The Board OF
Health of the District OF Columbia has
condemned five car loads OF vinegar sent
there from Chicago on the ground That
it is not genuine article, and ls lnJuri-
GUS to health. An analysis oi the So
called .viregar has been made 1t sP-
pears, according 10 the report Of the
Board OF Health, that the vinegar con-
tains "a "a 100 grains per gallon OF amy
drous sulphuric acid, combined with
lime, to form suIphate OF lime equlVa-
lent to III 26-l00 grains of gypsum per
gallon, and besides that five grains OF
free sulphurIc acd per gallon. The
Board also report that this sample
was taken from Ill invoice
| of more than l,00O Osrrels
brought there TO be sold rs vinegar, and
that it is likely TO lind ready sale on
account of its low price. The report con
cludes as follows: when we think that
oil of vitrol (sulpburic acid) can be
bought al FIVE cents per pound, and that
a pound OF said acid would render bar
rel of fluid as acid as the strongest vine
gar, the wonder will cease that 1t sold
cheap. This, therefore is fraud upon
commerce, and dangerous substitute for
vinegar The fraud and danger are
more general than the great mass OF peo-
pie will readily believe 1t is asserted
that probably one half the vinegar sold
at city groceries is a rank poison, with
either sulphuric or other Objectionable
| acids for lts has,"
