A Live TarantuIa in the Mail,

Major Dallas, Chief of the Dead-letter
Office, has had referred to him mass
of official correspondence concerning an
alleged violation of the postal regula-
tons by the Postmaster at Florence,
Arizona, in allowing a live tarantula to
be mailed at that office. Itappears that
about month ago California gentle
man placed the venomous spider in a
tin yeast-can with punctured ends, and
inclosing letter, wrapped the whole in
paper wrapper and addressed it to a
female relative in San Rafael, California.
In addition to the address the wrapper
also contained the notation, caution,
a live tarantula," and the letter directed
the recipient to open the box carefully
in consideration of the animated object
within; also advising her if she should
get bitten, to "use ammonia and drink
lots of whisky" The package attracted
the attention of clerks in San Francisco.
who drowned the tarantula, and special
agent referred the matter to the Post
office Department as an outrage and
violation of law The Arizona Post
master excused his action by saving that
first-class postage was paid by the send
er, and he had no right to investigate
the contents. The whole affair is re-
garded by the postal authorities as a
joke, and rejecting on the nervous COM

that her father was in peril, and what

while he took his after-supper smoke.

Glucose.

1t is singular the extreme secrecy
that the manufacturers of glucose, now
made principally from corn, establish
and keep up in their various manufac.
tories East and West. That the bust.
ness is profitable there is no doubt
Originally the industry was confined to
one firm in New York. They are said
to have used 100000 bushels of corn
last year, which was made into glucose.
A mandatory at Buffalo, N. Y, was
next established. Then one at Freeport,
/ H., and one at Davenport, Iowa. This
latter factory was burned. At Peoria
an immense factory has lately been built
and should now be about ready for work.
The particulars of this factory so far as
the owners have seen fit to make their
plans known have already been given in
the Prairie Farmer. The Freeport fac
tory use the same secrecy as all the
Others, not allowing any person to enter
the building, with view to giving the
public information as to the status
of the industry. This much, how
ever, is known. The product
contains about 80 per cent. of
liquid saccharine, and for certain uses
should be worth about one-third the
price of cane sugar. 1t is extensively
used in adulterating sugar-cane strip, in
the manufacture of candy, and in adul-
terating honey. 1t is used in the manu-
facture of sweet wines, and in liquors
requiring sugar, including beer, and is
now supposed to enter into all or nearly
all the sugar products of the country
This probably is the real animus of the
secrecy. We understand that a factory
for the manufacture of glucose has re-
Gently gone into operation in st. Louis,
and there Is one well on the way in Chi
cago. No person using glucose in his
manufactures seems willing to acknowl-
edge it. One thing certain, it is the
consumer does not want to use starch
sugar when he supposes he is buying
real sugar. 1t has long been known
that a pound of starch, whether the
carbon contained resulted from old rags,
corn, potatoes or what not, could be con-
verted into pound of grape-sugar or
glucose. That the manufacturers of
glucose should use as much secrecy in
keeping their business from the world
as do the distillers of Illicit spirit, seems
queer, if their business is legitimate.
The impression generally is that nOxious
chemicals are used in the manufactures,
and well founded from this secrecy.
That a pure, wholesome saccharine pro-
duct can be produced from corn is well
known. That a pound of it does not
contain more than one-third the sweet
ening that the same weight of cane
sugar does is as well known. What in
terests the public is to know, that the
product, as made, is really wholesome.
This they have right to know. 1t
would seem from the secrecy enveloping
the manufacture, that this point was
precisely the one the manufacturers
wanted to keep dark The Freeport
manager admitted to representative
of the Prairie Farmer some two wears
ago, that they had a good thing, and in
tended to keep it to themselves. 1t I'M
is a good thing if they can
make an inferior product and sell it at
two to four times its cost.-Prairte

EPISODE or THE CRnLEAN WAR.

In his wind shaken tent the soldier sits,
Reside him flares an Oil-lamp smOlSily,
Whose dim light glooms and fiickers on the
OF rnstiing paper that with eagerey
And heart, intent he reads. Now with a smile
The fiaxen bearded sunburnt face lights up
a smile that in the smiling breeds pain
Within his yearning heart the gentle hand
That those sweet, loving words hath traced,
will he
Ever again in his protecting clasp
Enfold it? Who can tell He can but kiss
With wild intensity the page that hand
Hath touched. Each line, each word read and
re-rcad.
At last there is no more. With swimming eyes
He looks, and drinks her name into his soul.
Yet see those lines with pencil widely ruled,
Where largely sprawl big letters helplessly;
What do they say, those baby characters,
Loved Papa,
when viii you come home again?
My own dearpapa"
As he reads this the tent to him grows darker,
His stronger hand trembles, and the hot tears
In his blue eyes, and blur the struggling
words.
What need to see? The words are stamped
His heart and his whole soul doth feel them
there.
The wind on gusty wings sweeps by, and 10!
With its wild voice, his childs sweet treble
mingles
In accents family clear:
Loved Bapa,
when will you come home again?
MY own dear papa"
And now his head is bowed into his hands,
His brave heart for a moment seems to climb
Into his throat ana choke him. Harki what
sound
Thus sharply leaps among, and Stays the sad
Wind voices of the autumn night, with shrill
And sudden blast? The bugle-cal TO arms %
And startled sleepeTs at its fierce appeal,
Half dreaming clutch their swords, and gasp
ing wake,
How many soon TO sleep again in DEATH
And on that fathers heart the pealing cry
Strikes cold as ice, though soldier there's none
drawer,
For still above the bugle's thrilling breath
That pleading child voice sweetly calls
Loved Papa,
When win you comehome again?
g My own dear papar'
Across a rough hillside the light Of dawn
ing
All that by darkness had been hid, and there,
Amongst the stalwart forms that stiffening lie
Upon the blood soaked ground, where they
lie thickest
There is one found, the fiaxen hair and beard
Dark dyed with gore, a bullet in his heart!
\ crumpled paper in his hand was clutched,
'Gainst the cold lips the rigid hand did press
Some childish writing by his ife-blood
stained.
What are the words? One scarce can read
them now:
Loved Papa,
when will YOU come home again!

There is no real economy in buying
ready made underclothing of poor
quality. The cotton soon wears out
and is more easily discolored in the
wash. Its cheapness is often attractive,
but in the end it will prove expensive.
Neither is it economical to purchase
cheap cottons or calieoes to be made up
in the family. The highest priced will
always prove the cheapest; for there
are just as many stitches needful to
make up a fve-cent cotton cloth or cali
co as eight or ten-cent goods, and the
latter will wear twice as long as the
former. 1t is poor economy to employ
young and inexperienced servants at
low wages. Their board is the same as
that of more competent servants, and
they will destroy, break and waste far
more than an equivalent for higher
wages, without taking into considera-
ton the comfort and equanimity of the
mistress of the household.

Miss M8eker's Bravery.

DENVER, COL, Oct. ga spe-
cial to the Tribune from Alamosa,
800 miles south of Denver, and the
terminus of the Rio Grande railway,
says the women and children, recent
captiyes among the Utes, arrived
there at 4 p. NJ, where they will re-
main for a few days before proceed
ing to Denver. They were surren-
dered to Special Agent Adams after
a parley of five hours, at a camp on
a tributary of Grand River, on the
21st, and on the morning of the
22d started homeWard, proceeding
through the Indian country in care
of employees of Los Pinos Agen-
cy to Ouray's house, and arr
irving at the latter place
on the morning of the 25th.
They started Immediately homes
ward, and arrived at Alamaso as
above. The captiyes report that
the money and papers, which were
represented to be safe, were de-
stroyed or taken by the Utes. Miss
Meeker's life was threatened once
by Douglass, who placed a gun to
her head, but she did not finch, and
told Douglass she was neither
afraid of the Indians or death, and
he skulked away. The women
agree they owe their safety to one
women, Susan, the wife of Johnson
and a sister of Oaray, who pro,
tected them at all times, even going
into the councils, an unprecedented
move for a woman among Indians,
and raising her voice for the release
of the prisoners.
