OleOmargarine VS.. Butter.

The manufacture of Oleomargarine or
artificial butter has fairly taken rank as
a permanent industry, and despite the
prejudices existing against the compound
it seems to be slowly gaining rccogni-
ton as a Legitimate article of commerce
and an innocuous food. The contro-
versy between the makers of dairy butter
and oleomargarine is being keenly car
ried on in New York in view of probable
legislation regulating the sale of the new
product. Prof. Chandler, President of
the New York Board of Health, has pro-
nounced the artificial butter perfectly
wholesome, and the opinion Of Prof. +.
5. Wayne, "a leading Western analyst is
equally positive to the same effect. Prof.
Wayne contends that from a chemical
standpoint oleomargarine really is but
ter-that it contains precisely the same
ingredients and nothing more. Science
and art, he said have stolen the secret
from Nature, and build up the same
compound that nature slowly and spar
ingly celebrates, and we separate AS
butter from milk. The Professor thinks
that it has important advantages over
cream butter, as it keeps better and is
freer from impurities. Artificial butter
resembles the natural product in that
there is Il vast difference between the
brands of different diaries and inferior
articles of both kinds are put on the
market. With all that may be said in
its praise it is not likely that any large
portion OF the public will knowingly eat
oleomargarinc when they can get what
they suppose to be real butter, so great
is the force of prejudice or sentiment, or
whatever the objection may be called.
The dairymen Of New York, knowing
the public feeling, do not fight the new
compound on its merits, but simply urge
that it should not be allowed to be sold
as the genuine extract of cream. Legis-
lation is asked to prevent its sale as but
ter" and let the public know what they
are buying. This appears to be only rea-
sonable. There is no reason why the
fatty extract should be excluded from
the market, but let it be sold under its
own name, without disguise, and the
rights of both classes of makers as well
as of the public will be standardization

Irving Taylor.

There is Il similarity in the circumstan-
ces under which Washington Irving was
appointed and confirmed as Minister to
Spain and Bayard Tayer as Minister to
Germany, not less remarkable than the
points II resemblance between the men
themselves and the training and habits
which had fitted them for their respective
posts. In each case a majority of the
Senate was not in sympathy with the
President and had refused to confirm i'm
portant nominations previously made by
him. In each case the appointment to
the diplomatic position was made entirely
without the solicitation of the nominee.
Mr.. Irving was so utterly Ignorant of the
Presidents intentions that when sufficient
time had elapsed after the appointment
for the news to reach him, Daniel Web
ster, then Secretary Of State, remarked,
washington Irving is now the most
astoni>hed man in New York In each
case the nomination was received with
hearty approval 10y the politicians of both
parties and with universal applause by
the people, and in each case tue appoint
mcnt was confirmed 10y the Senate unani
mously and almost, rs il were, by &C
clama,ion. In similarity of personal
circumstances, aside from the profession
OF literature, each, before his appoint
ment to a ministerial position, had acted
AS Charge d'Atlaires, Mr.. Irving in Lon
don, Mr.. Taylor in st. Petersburg. Each
was sent to a country with whose Ian
guage, literature, and history he was es-
pecialIy familiar, and each, at the time OF
his appointment, was engaged in literary
work which rendered residence at his
post peculiarly desirable and advanta-
geous 1t would be easy to indicate other
points of resemblance; as, for instance,
previous residence and literary labor in
New York, wide acquaintance and repu-
tation in other countries, and personal
characters singuarly pure, simple and
genial. ". !. Tribune.

A SICKLY PRINCE.-The true story of
the mysterious illness of Prince Leopold,
youngest son of Queen Victoria, has now
become public. An English paper says:
The young prince, whose amiability has
long since endeared him to all who know
him, suffers from "A strange and dreadful
disease, which can best be described as
state of existence in which there is "a pc
culiar liability to the occurrence of pro-
fuse and more or less uncomfortable hem
orrhage or bleeding, both from the sur
face OF the skin, and within the intersti
tial tissues of the body. Life under these
conditions is in ceaseess peril. Exam
pies are not uncommon where the loss of
blood, excited by the mere extraction OF
loose tooth, or by the accidental scratch
or prick of finger, has proved utterly
uncomfortable and in the end fatal. Be
sides these terrible risks the disease en-
tails periods of pain which are often cX-
cruciatiog, and these Prince Leopold is
said to bear with a serenity and patience
that are the admiration Of all about him.
