The last rose of summer has departed

rency of this government is again heard In

tain the fruit of their labor. but the money
will not stay in their pockets scarcely long

The noise of the saw, hammer and

product is on the road to market seven

law to carry their guns with them,
The prospect is very fattering that the
farmers will dust in their wheat this win

always In the.way of sowing large grain
crops.
Mr.. C. H. Anderson speaks of eating
his share of this years orange crop in Flor

this fruit that he is going to Florida to save
money by getting rid Of the freight and

THE American Grocer" takes Mr. An
CELL to task in regard to his sens ,tional ar
ticle on the adulteration Of T God. Prof
Morton and Prof Sharples. in their analysis
of different articles, shows the absurdity and
exaggeration of Mr.. Angels statements.
For instance, the idea of re d pepper being
dcbased with ''cinnebar, vermilion and sui
phuret of mercury, which are three names
for the same thing and each of them worth
many times the price of red pepper, is
very funny. Prof Sharples says; THE
truth of the matter being that our markets
arc we'll supplied with good, wholesome
food in abundance, and that adulteration so
far from being the rule is only exceptional
The reports of two such eminent authori-
ties offsetting the alarming statements of Il
person so little worthy of confidence as Mr.,
Angel, ought to effectually reassure the
public and vindicate the honesty of manu-
features.

That gorgeous gusher of the San
Francisco Chronicle who welcomed
Grant to town the other day as one
"bathed in wars perfume" has call
ed renewed attention to the fact that
throughout all of his bloody wars
General Grant never received a
bodily injury. never had a horse
killed under him, never had mems
Der of his staff killed, and, in fact,
was never perfumed with the smell
of battle to any great extent. 1t
may be, remarks the Baltimore Ca
zette, that Providence exercised a
tender care over Grant and his staff
during our late war, but it is worthy
of remark that he took the same sort
of care of storekeepers and suffers
clerks hundreds of miles in the rear.
