CHEERFUL REVELATIONS BEFORE THE

CHEERFUL REVELATIONS BEFORE THE
AMERICAN SOCIAL SCIENCE AssoCIA-
TION IN BOSTON.
George T. Angel has read a paper
before the American Social Science As
sOciation here on ''Public Health Asso-
ciations," in which he made some start
ling assertions about the adulteration
of food. He said;
Cayenne pepper is adulterated with
red lead, mustard with chromate lead,
curry powder with red lead, vinegar with
sulphuric acid, arsenic, and corrosive
sublimate. 1t is stated that probably
half the vinegar now sold in our cities
is rank poison. One of our Boston
chemists analyzed I2 packages of pick
les, put up by IL different wholesale
dealers, and found copper in 10 of them.
Many of our fiavoring oils, syrups, iel-
lies, and preserved fruits contain pois-
ons. The adulterations of tea are toe
numerous to mention. Coffee is not
only adulterated, but patent has beer

form of coffee berries and l am told
that clay is now nodded, and, perhaps

Several mills in New England, ani
probably many elsewhere, are now en-
gagged in grinding white stone into ;
fine powder for purposes of adultera

The Unmolested Grave.

A sunny grave sleeps OF a sunny slope
Beneath a sculptured Hope;
And children thither go in Summer hours
And SOW the sweetest flowers,
And set the blOssomng herbage, year by year
And drop silent tear.
1t marks a fathers restingpl place, and yet
No sentry there is set.
No hideous ghoul burrows beneath the clay
To bear the bones away,
No children, with fierce and frenzied brow,
Revile his memory now,
Nor myriad wives, parading all their shame,
Disgrace his hOnored name.
The billow sleeps upon that sunny slope
Beneath a marble Hope,
And they who love him go in Summer hours
And sow the sweetest flowers.
For he has gone to Heaven, and when he Wen
He died 1CithOut a cent.

Headstones for Fallen Soldiers.

1t is probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in lS73-COngress
passed Il law providing for the erection
of durable headstones over the graves
of soldiers of the regular and volunteer
forces of the United States whose re-
mains are inferred in The national mil
itary cemeteries. This law has been
carried out, and the graves of the ma
tons dead in these cemeteries are now
permanently marked. At the instance
of the War Department, Congress has
recently authorized the erection of
similar headstOnes over the graves of
the Union soldiers who are buried in
private and village cemeteries. This
will he done us soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made. In the
meantime the Quartermaster General,
at Washington, will at once proceed to
collect the necessary information us to
where these headstoue are required.
All persons having any knowledge
of the burial places of soldiers in pri-
vate cemeteries whose graves are not
marked, are requested to communicate
the fact To the Quartermaster General,
and give regiment, company, and date
of death of deceased, if known. Simi-
lar information is desired from parties
in charge of such cemeteries. OF course
it is not intended to furnish headstOnes
for graves over which monuments have
already been erected by relatives or
friends of the deceased.

But voiceless, voteless, filed with woe
Slaves of their masters seemed to be

She said, "And what did Uncle Dorr

heard the Hamburg martyrs cry
The rebel yell-the vaunting boast;
saw the wounds of patriot dead;

too, we may add, of the boys and girls
in the habit of being up late it is the
moral risk they run of which we would
speak. 1t is useless to say that the
company into which they go is select.
Judas was among the twelve, and when
the sons of God met together Satan
was there also to tempt. But nothing
is more common than for parents to
allow their children to be out late
without knowing who their associates
may be. Young and immature in judg-
ment, and easily deceived in the char
acter of their companions. they are
suffered by thoughtless parents to go
forth at night unguarded and free.
Nine-tenths of all the dissipation and
crime takes place at night. During the
day decency walks abroad and order
and labor. The evil have skulked to
their lairs; or if they go abroad they
put on the air and seeming of better
men. When night falls the gates of
hell are unfastened, and from them
come forth all "shames and crimes"
Then wickedness holds high carnival.
Then the evil creatures who inhabit
the great ocean of iniquity disport
themselves then they devour their
prey and lie in wait for more. Around
the borders of this great sea, whose
tides are ever ebbing, with the rising
and flowing with the setting sun, how
many youth of both sexes gather at
night unprotected =? How many GO
down in it never to be rescued | have
been led to these reflections by learn
ing that number of boys had been in
the habit of frequenting "A low den al
night, and that it is not uncommon fol
girls, some of them not more thai
twelve, to be brought to headquarters
late at night by policemen. Wher
questioned they often say they ART
permitted by their parents to be ou
at night, and that they had been treat
ed to refreshments and wine. Fool
hardy and giddy, they become NOR,
reckless under the influence of stimu
lants. We may have the charity t.
suppose that, young and ignorant, the,
do not realize into how deep a slougI
of iniquity they venture. Those tha
ply them with wine know what the,
are about. 1t is an old trick of theirs
But there is neither time nor space t.
relate all the temptations that beset tn
young ut night. We teach ouI chldre
to pray, "Lead us not into temptation /;
why then suffer them to be led int
temptation by the wicked, who seeI
their prey 10y nightP

ITALY.

LONDON, April The cor
respondent of the Times at Rome
saws: ''Now that the wild rumors as
to the object of Garibaldi's visit to
Rome have proved groundless, it is
asserted that he has come to die In
the city to attain which for Italy
all his strivings were directed. His
friends distinctly assert that politics
are wholly unconnected with his
coming here He found that his
health was not improving at Capeva,
and thought the mineral springs near
Civita Viechia might benefit his
gout. Garribaldi in replying to the
syndic who visited him on his arri-
val, said he did not himself know
the reason of his visit. A more
pathetic scene than that on Garri~
baldi's arrival at the railway station
has seldom been beheld. Shouts
were raised as the train entered the
station, but they were speedily
silenced by the circulation of re-
port that the General was i'll.
He was carried from the train
on a mattress on a large litter.
He lay extended and motionless,
with his eyes covered and red
handkerchief bound around his head.
1t looked as though a corpse was
being carried in state. 1t was found
impossible to move him from the lit
ter, which was placed in an open
carriage, which was driven, accom-
panied by the mournfully silent
crowd, to the house of his son, Men
otti Garibaldi. 1t was so impossi
BILE to move the General that a

A County Meridian Line"

The following report of County Sur"
veyor R. A. J. Armstrong was read in
the County Court yesterday, and Gre
ated no little jocularity and merri-
ment:
To the Hon. Il. t. COtreN. Chairman
of the County CourtOf K10r county i:
Your commissioner, appointed Dy
the Court at it's January term to estaD-
lish O Meridian line" for the county
of Knox, at a cost not exceeding so,
would report that the law requires the
line to be 229, 1872 poles in length,
which, reduced to more comprehen-
sive terms, is about 716 miles.
Your Commissioners would further
report, that the above line would ex-
tend to the Canadas or British Pos
sessions" on the North, and we would
have to get permission from Her Maj
esty Queen Victoria, of England, to
establish one end of said line on her
territory. IF extended in a northeast
direction it would stop near Bangor,
Maine, if extended southwest it would
stop at Austin, Texas, and not having
permission of either the Governors ol
Maine or Texas, your Commissioners
deemed it inexpedient to commence
to establish said line
Your Commissioners would further
report that, in his opinion, said line, o
the length required by law, could no no
be established with an expense OF SZO
! and asks that the Court appropriate
! 1929; 1873 II for said purpose CT abandon
the line for the present.
i Your Commissioners would f1rthe

ative from Knox county, Hon. M. ID
Bearden, to amend the law by insert
ing "an so pole line" in lieu of 229,

! further of the matter, and your CoGa
missioner would ask TO be relieved.
