4 RUGGED " Concluded
Dodge and Lieut.. Hughes, Of tho Ninth
cavalry, was spoken of with enthusi-
asm. The regulars acquitted them
selves like '.plumed knights'' at the
corral.
1 was much gratiied at meeting Gen.
Crooks aides. Lieuts. Schuyler and
Bourke, who, having gone in with
Merritt, ~overtaking him on the way,
were returning to their general, pur-
suant to orders. They took great risks
and deserve the credit that belongs to
fidelity and enterprise.
1 will not burden you with a repeti-
ton of the story Of Thornburgh's mis-
fortunes. All Of special interest has
been already sent on. His body came
with the wounded-forty-two poor fel-
lows, who all showed that they had
hard knocks. After them came Capt.
Dodge and his lieutenant, with their
~dismounted company. The captain is
not a man of SNOWY appearance, but
has In him, evidently, the grit whereof
heroic acts are born. "Short greeting
serves In time of strife" Sc we did not
tarry long.
The returning braves went their way,
and we went ours 10 Join Merritt,
through one of the loveliest valleys-in
some parts narrowing to a cadou-that
l have ever beheld. 1t wal a striking
contrast to the uninviting desert
through which we had Just journeyed.
Mountains rose above, behind, and in
front, showing all the lovely tints of
nature and all the graceful fantastic
shapes for which the highlands Of
Colorado are so justly famous. In
some portions our fankers could hardly
reach the crests, and we had, In a meas
ure, to trust to luck. At l O'Clock we
went into camp, surrounded by hills, on
this smiling stream. Tomorrow we
nov forward, through canons still
more difficult and dangerous, to ally
ourselves to Gen. Merritt's forces.
In conclusion, and it Is about time,
let me say now what / ought TO have
written before, we met Rankins, the
heroic scout, to whose bravo exertions
the corraled soldiers owe their lives. He
is stout, dark, father tall, and quite
good-looking-just the kind of man
you'd expect to do a famous deed. What

RAILWAYS are becoming a more i'm
portant factor in wars year by year.
Germany demonstrated In her late
war with France how important it was
for the government to control railways.
The British government is about con-
structing a railroad to Candahar in
order to carry on military operations in
Afghanistan. And then the construc-
tion of the aforesaid railway will prove
to the world that Afghanistan is a
British dependency.

This word, now in such common use
among all classes Of politicians and
tradespeople, and used to signify that
politics are in a ferment and trade
rushing, was probably used in tue time
Of Noah, il not anterior to the date of
that old patriarch. We do not care,
however to take the time to investigate
Noah's record, nor to ascertain just
what words were in use about the time
he was gathering his great family into
the ark, but having once got them all
safely in, and the doors and windows
closed, it is quite safe to assume that
when he heard the rushing of the nigh
ty waters, and felt the ark rising with
the tide, he could not but, if he did not,

lions of the words which we find in
Webster, Worcester, and elsewhere:
BooM-To rush with violence, as a
ship under press of sail.-W Webster.
She comes BOOMING down before
it.-Iotten.
The bittern BooMs 1t In the reeds.
Gotten.
And even Tennyson in n of his
poems says:
AT eve the beetle BooMETH
Athwart the thicket lone.
Our own Washington Irving, In one
Of bis ane descriptions, speaks Of
Alarm guns BOOMING through the
night air.
Ailhouse. in one of his finest poems,
speaks of
The hoarse waves BOOMING to the
ocean shore.
Falconer, also, in one Of his earlier
poems, says:
Der the sea-beat ships the BOOMING
waters roar.
When used by lumbermen, a "boom''
Is understood to mean u chain Of logs,
or rather a succession of logs fastened
together by chains and used in a stream
to intercept logs in their passage down.
Worcester says:
BooM-To rush with violence, as Q

We think we have given q sufficient

word; will have its day as one Of com

lasts; and, as we have shown its use by

VILE ADULTERATIoNs OF FOOD.

There are fortunes awaiting sagacious
honest men. If rascals have amassed
vast wealth in the past by plundering
the people, the next generation will
build its greatest fortunes for men who
establish their business on principles of
integrity. Manufacturers of various ar
ticles of human food can speedily become
opulent, if they establish areputation for
integrity by preparing pure article at
their manufactures. The authorizations
of manufactured food are poisoning the
people, and driving intelligent families to
the purchase of articles of food in a state
Of native purity, whenever possible. Ex
posures have recently been made at
Chicago which have alarmed the inhabi-
tants of the West at the prevalence of
adulteration in food, and Prof. Leeds, in
his paper before the Academy of Sciences
of New York calls attention to the same
evil. He reports that all but 10 of 81
samples of bread which he examined from
bakeries of New York were adulterated,
and extremely injurious substances are
used in adulterating many kinds of food.
The practice of adulteratins food has be-
come so extensive that it is national
calamity. Public authority must ere
long provide heavy penalty, and a
method for its infiction upon offenders,
FOR the crime of poisoning the people by
the adulteration of their food.i

DANGERS AHEAD.

Senator Carpenters apprehension as to
the sort of games that may be attempted
by the Democrats in Congress, in order to
defeat the election or Inauguration of a
Republican President, are calculated to
set the people to thinking. For the dam
gers to which he alludes are not the scare
crows Of an alarmist. They are real dan
gers, growing ont Of the situation and out
of Democratic unscrupuiousness.
There is nothing intrinsically improba-
BILE in the Supposition that the Democrats
will object to the count of the votes of
one or more of the Republican States,
when the two Houses meet for that pur-
pose, in February, 1881. Pretexts can
easily he found, such as the execution Of
the National election laws, for instance.
Then it could be declared that there was
no election and the House would elect,
or the 4th of March, 1881, would find us
with no President, when the Senate could
make one by electinga President pro teri
pore.
In both Houses the Democrats have
gone on unscrupulously unseating Repub
| Jeans and now, if vote in the House
was taken, it would stand 10 Republican
to 10 Democratic State delegations. But
the unseating Of single Republican
might dissolve the tie and give the DEM
ocrats the majority, while the evident
purpose to unseat Senator Kellogg, as to
whose title Senator Carpenter says it is
better than that Of any other Senator, ex-
cept that of Senator Butler, for In each of
these cases the Senate went behind the
certificates, heard evidence, and pro-
nounced Il decision IN favor of the claim
ant.
1t will be seen that there are grave
causes for alarm. The dangers are not
imaginary. They must be faced and
provided against. And the best way to
do this is to awaken Republicans to the
perils of the situation.

While we cheeifully accord TO Mr..
Bayard all the credit that attaches to
his fidelity to sound financial views. and
admit the fact that he displayed the
moral courage CT his convictions while
other men equally prominent in his party
were proving recreant to principle: while
we recognize his independence of charac-
ter and personal purity, yet we do not
overlook the fact that he still maintains
the dangerous States Rights theories and
doctrines that characterized him during

former Wilmingtonian, and he himself
finds so much truth in it, that it has been
handed us for publication:
Ny Dear Sir:-If nothing else, our
school-boy days and long and pleasant
acquaintance would warrant my taking

iect not forgotten. Remembering back
eighteen years of the many trials loyal
citizen Of the State of Delaware had,
am surprised to-day to read the names Of
SO many men like yourself to reception
soon to be rendered Thomas F. Bayard
on his arrival home from abroad. Do
you remember only eighteen years ago
yourself and several others named on this
reception committee implored the only
loyal legislative body in Delaware, THE
City Council of Wilmington to stand
between you and a disloyal military COM
pany formed, with Thomas F. Bayard as
captain? Do you remember how this
same Thomas f. Bayard and his would
be military company paraded the streets
of Wilmington, making night hideous,
and insulting every union-loving citizen
by their huzzas for the Southern cause
dragging after them cannon, not trust
ed with arms, because that loyal Council
feared the guns would besturned against
loyal citizens? Have you forgotten how
this same Thomas F. Bayard, through 4
disloyal Governor. disarmed a military
school to arm his followers? Have you
forgotten that you was one who over
.joyed when the United States Govern
ment, through solicitations of loyal Della
wareans. disbanded and disarnied this
same company, whose captain was Thos.
+. Bayard and to what extent they buried
those guns, supposed at that time for
future use, rather than hand them over
to the Government Was it not, | ask
you, the full belief Of every loyal citizen
then in Wilmington that this same Thos.
f. Bayard's company was intended for
the Southern cause You. as well as
every signer to the reception, knos that
he never, by word or action. gave any
countenance to a Union man or a united
country: and yet. through all the trials
we have passed, knowing what we do,
and although eighteen years have passed
by. you with other loyal citizens, whose
