Artificial Butter.

# we have to eat artificial butter it
is gratifying to know that it can now
be made equal in flavor, texture and
odor to the best butter made from
cream. There are,several manutacto-
ries in this city and Brooklyn which
turn ont many tons of this product
weekly, and a well-known chemist of
this city recently declared that, while
he had no doubt that more than half
the butter consumed in New York was
artifcially made, he conscientiously
believed that it was quite as good as
butter made in the dairy; and often
much better. The imitation is made
fsuet, which after, being thoroughly
washed, is reduced to oil at low tenn
perature; to each 100 pounds of oil
some twenty pounds of sour milk are
added, and the two substances are
churned, half an ounce of bi-carbonate
of soda and two or three tablespoon
fuls Of solution of anuotto being thrown
into the mixture. The product of this
churuine is allowed to come in contact
with ice, and is again churned with
more sour milk. After fifteen minutes
agitation the solidified oil takes up a
certain percentage of tho milk, as well
as its flavor and odor, and the butter
is ready for the market. An analyti-
aal chemist of this city, who has pre-
pared and published a pamphlet on the
manufacture of artificial butter, fur
nishes a number of analyses, including
those of artificial and genuine butter.
Of the fats, including olein, palmitine,
stearine, hutyrine, etc, artificial but
ter contains 81 per cent, cream butter
sc per cent. The most perceptible
difference in the constituents of the
two products is in the matter of salt, of
which artificial butter contains 1926
per cent. and the genuine article ISL
per cent. OF coloring matter there is
a trace in the artiicially prepared
compound. The percentage of salt, it
is said, may be augmented or reduced
to suit the taste and requirements of
the public. 1t is claimed for the coun-
terfeit butter that it does not become
rancied SO quickly as dairy butter, and
that it can be made much more cheap
ly. 1t is fact that more than nine
tenths of the liquors sold here are arti-
fciaIly made, thanks to chemistry,
which is now able to reproduce the ex-
act constituents of the various kinds of
ardent spirits. Let us hope that be-
fore long chemists will be able to so
combine the requisite amounts of car
bon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen az
to give rs artificial qniniue and the
other alka!oids at prices considerably
less than they sell tor at present.-[N.

MISS Cora Dickson, young girl of
%, arrived in Paris the other day from
South America. Her life has thus far
been a checkered one. At the age of
Is, tired of the monotony of home, she
ran away from her fathers house with
a large sum of money. She cut her
hair short and donned boys garb.
After becoming in succession cabin
boy, a clerk, and a horse dealer, she
turned up in Buenos Ayres, where she
entered the army, still disguised. She
distinguished herself in the service and
became colonel. Some months ago,
at a meeting Of officers, she quarrelled
with one of those present. A duel fol-
lowed, and she killed her adversary.
On examining the dead mans papers,
she found that she had killed her eid-
est brother, who had left home when
she was two years of age. Horror
stricken, she threw herself at the bish-
ops feet, who promised to intercede
with her father.-[N. Y. Sun.

THE New York Times, which is
the real organ of the old Republican
party, says that the lesson of the South
Carolina settlement "is not likely to
be lost upon the Democratic claimant
to the governorship of Louisiana, who
now knows that he has only to be OBJ
situate and dictatorlal to secure the
removal of the troops from the Pack
ard fortress" The obstinacy and die
tati0n referred to we take to mean
6rmness and self-assertion, and the
statement thus amended is doubtless
correct. popular logic, says the
Times, "recognizes this as the iuevita-
bic sequence of the South Carolina de-
cision, and the Louisianians cannot
fail to look at it in the same light.
They have but to waitand win" There
is much consolation in this for those
who love truth and justice.

The fact that the Commission ap-
pointed by Mr.. HAYES to go to Louisi-
ana to try and patch up a bargain that
will relieve him from the embarrass-
ment OF his present position, is to re-
ceive instructions from Mr.. w. A.
Wheeler, who is occupying the Office
to which Gov. Hendricks was elected.
will not add to the moral value Of the
Commissioners.
Mr.. Wheeler is pretty well known
in Louisiana, where he is admired nei-
Their hy the Democrats nor the Repub-
leans. In 1874 the Democrats in that
State elected a majority in both Hon-
SEES of the Legislature, wherenpon the
Returning Board counted out enough
Democrats to give the organization of
the Legislature to the Republicans,
just as they subsequently counted out
the Tilden electors and counted in the
imposters who pretended to cast the
electoral vote Of the State for Hayes
and Wheeler. But the legally elected
Senators and Representatives, disre-
garding the fraudulent acts of the Re-
turning Board, assembled in January
1875, aud were proceeding to organize
the State Government when Grant in
te, fered and used United States troops
to drive from the State House enough
Democratic members to give the Or
ganization to the Republicans. Then
the United States House of Represent
atives appointed committee to in
quire into the facts of the case, and a
subcommittee, consisting Of Messrs
Hoar, Wheeler and Frye, visited Lou
isiana, where, by making numerous
promises, which were never kept, they
induced the Democratic majority te
enter into a bargain known as the
wheeler compromise. In this bargain
