An EpistOlary Button.
Troy Press.

A lady in this city has common
military button which has something
of history. During the late war c. G.
Comes, of Jefferson county, Union
soldier, was with a number of comrades
taken captive and confined in Libby
prison. Some time after ne managed
to change his suit of blue and sent it
home to his wife. About two years
later one of the brass buttons which
had adorned the coat was used as play
thing by a child of the soldier. The
part Of the button unexpectedly became
detached and revealed in the hollow
space QUANTITY of paper which was
very neatly packed. An examination
of the buttons mysterious contents
disclosed a letter. consisting of five
pages, each sheet being about three
inches wide and five inches long. The
missive was addressed TO Mrs Comes
and contained an account of her hus-
bands captivity, and also relates to
family matters. The letter and button
are still in state of preservation, and
are highly priced by the lady who sue
ceeded in obtaining them.

caves and cornice of the City Hall,
where they have bred and increased I'M
til there Is now quite colony of them.
Being very domestic, their habits are
easily studied, and the question as to
whether they are insect-destroyers read
lily ascertained. A more social bird
does not exist. They seemed deter
mined to occupy the busiest streets OF
the city and to nest where there is the
most noise and excitement When not
about the building they are hopping
on the ground, picking up grains of
wheat that have been dropped, or dart
ting here and there for some insect.
One can almost step on them at times
when they are engaged in feeding, and
1t seems wonder that they are not
oftener killed by passing teams than
they are. In Milwaukee, there are
thousands-yes, tens of thousands of
them all over the city, and their vast
numbers readily admits of close study
of their pecuiarities. They seem here
to be almost wholly grain eaters, swarm
ing the thickets where grain is the
plentiest. Notwithstanding this fact
they were introduced into this country
ON account oftheir propensity to destroy
insects. An English paper states that
out of 119 of these birds killed for the
sake of testing the amount of benefit or
injury done by them, only three were
found to have been living the preceding
twenty-four hours on grain-beetles
and grubs having been their diet Out
of IS sparows of all ages, there were
none but what had insect remains in
them. AS they reside almost wholly
in cities, it is not likely that they will
ever do much damage in the country,
while even should they eat a little grain
the farmer could we'll afford to spare
them the gleanings of his field for their
CHEEKY presence during the winter sea-
son. A more blith little g johnny Jump
up" of bird never was landed on our
shores and while he has made some
enemies, he has likewise gained host
of friends.

mass-meeting of butter merchants, under
the auspices of the National Association for
the Prevention of the Adulteration of But
ter was held in New York on Monday, to
take action to suppress the fraudulent sale
of oleomargarine, and to raise funds to pro-
secute all offenders who sell the same with
out branding it, in accordance with the law
A..large number of the leading butter mer-
chants were present. Packages of oleomar-
garine were shown which had been offered
for sale as creamery butter, and which were
branded so family that the stamp was illeg-
ible
Mr.. j. II. Seymour said that what was
wanted by the butter trade was that oleo-
margarine should be sold for what it is, and
not for butter. for which it was generally
sold. Nobody who knew of what and how
oleomargarine was manufactured would pre-
fer it to butter. As it was sold at present it
was iniuring the dairy interests of the coun-
try, and he thought that it was very strange,
to say the least, that the President of the In
ternational Dairy Fair Association MIR F.
B. Thurber) should he one who is more
largely interested in the manufacture and
sale OF oleomargarine than any other person
in the community. This gentleman was one
of its great distributors
Mr.. 5. b. Douglas said that the provi-
sions of the law were not sufficiently strong
The law required that the packages sold at
wholesale and retail should be distinctly
branded. This provision was undoubtedly
ingeniously evaded by the wholesale and re
tail dealers. The fact that half of the penal
ty imposed upon the dealers who sold oleo-
margarine illegally would go to the informer,
should be clearly understood by the public
He had seen packages OF oleomarganne
branded on the top of the packages
creamery butter" while the oleomargarine
brand was so indistinct that none but ex-
perts in the trade could detect it, Any
man who sold oleomargarine in this way
should be drummed out of the trade
Mr.. }. II poali roid he did not regard
oleomargarine as legitimate article of
commerce. The people who were engaged
In the manufacture of oleomargarine, by the
way in which they have sold it, have done
great deal of injury to the dairy interests
OF the country, and have injured the reputa-
ton of American dairymen in Europe. If
the people who bought it knew of what it
was composed, and also of the dirty places
In which it was manufactured, they would
not eat it,
committee was appointed to raise funds
to prosecute fraudulent dealers.

a. l.. Bailey, of st. Johnsbury, is about TO
open at III. III. Daviss well known stand
sample line of pianos and organs from the
leading makers of New York, Baltimore and
Boston. \ few instruments are now on ex-
hlbition, but the formal opening with full
stock, will take place on Wednesday of next
week. Mr.. Bailey is the largest dealer in
pianos and organs this side of the great cities
and has been in the business longer than any
concern in the State. He has n large capital
and buys for cash direct from the manufac-
turers, thus obtaining the very lowest prices,
of which his customers have the benefit
He buys no goods of agents but deals direct
ly with the makers, nor does he receive in
struments on consignment Hence all his
patrons may depend upon getting the very
best pianos and organs at bottom rates; and
the large trade Mr. Bailey has built up is
sufficient evidence that the public realize
these facts. Mr. Bailey has sold instru-
ments to number of prominent gentlemen
in this CITY, including Gen. Wells, Rev. Mr.
Brastow, DIR. Nichols and many others, and
they give the best of satisfaction while
his st. Johnsbury references embrace the
well-known names of Gov. Fairbanks, Judge
Poland, Col Fred Fletcher. Judge Ross, and
many other wcll-known people. The office
and sllcsroom in this city will be in charge
of Mr.. ii. W. Hall, courteous and enter

friends i'll this city, and in whose behalf we
bespeak liberal patronage from the public.
