The Butter, Trade.
STATISTICS RELATING TO THE DAIRY INTER
 EsTs-THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT QUESTION.
At 8 meeting of the butter trade h

 At @ meeting of the butter trade held under the auspices of the National As sociation for the Prevention of the Adul- iteration of Butter, at the Butter and Cheese Exchange, in New York, report was read in regard to proposed circu- lar-letter to the dairymen of the coun- try calling upon them to organize to re- sist the fraudulent sale of oleomargarine. The circular says: "Ihe production of butter and cheese in the United States as speciality began in the eastern part of New York State, and then extended westward until it has become its leading industry. Fifteen years ago Chicago merchants obtained their supplies of | cheese from the East; now 0,000, ,00O pass through that city annually for New York. The value of the land and stock employed in furnishing milk, butter and cheese in the United States is estimated $1, BOO, 100000. Over 5000 factories are engaged in the manufacture of these ar- ticles, besides the tens of thousands of private dairies. One manufacturer in Western New York has over forty fac tories. Others in different parts of the country have from five to thirty each There are several firms in New York city which handle from $2, 900, ,O0O to $3, OOO,- 900 worth of butter and cheese each, an- nually. The annual production of cheese in the United States is estimated at $35O, 100000 pounds, and of butter 1,5OO, ,OOO,- 900 pounds. The value of the two Is about $350, ,OOO,OOO, $5O,OOO,OOO more than the wheat crop, one-seventh more than the hay crop, one-third more than the cotton crop, and only one-fifth less than the corn crop. There are 13,000,- 900 COWS in the United States, which is over six times the number in Great Britain and more than twice the number in France. The cheese and butter ex- ported this year have paid freight to ocean transportation companies amount ing to $1,000,000, or almost enough to support line of ocean steamers. They pay to railroad companies annually over $5, GOO, ,O00, and the milk pays near ly as much besides. The annual pro- duction of milk in the United States may be safely valued at $500, ,O0O,O0O. This does not cover the vast quantity and value of milk consumed by calves before they are old enough to depend on other foods. Who will venture, then, to say" |" says the circular, "that this is not truly the great national industry of the coun- try, or that it is not worthy of consider ation and protection? It concerns more hearths and homes than any other in the land. And every pound of oleomar- garine fraudulently sold strikes death blow to an industry which has contrib uted in large part to the nations pros perity."
 Dairymen are called upon to organize to resist the inroads and encroachments of the counterfeit butter upon our in- dustry, and are asked to ally themselves to 8 national association like that now organized in this city.

A famo that is worldwide and acquired in the short space of few years, must have true merit for it's support.

Domestic Water Power.

Many household operations might be effectually performed by small water motors. In Zurich, water is commonly used in this way as substitute for hand labor. Fire-wood, for example, is sawn in convenient lengths for burning. A small saving machine on wheels is drawn by two men to the front of house. They connect by a flexible tube with the nearest hydrant; the water flows to the machine the saw dances, and cuts up the wood with surprising rapidity. Aportable turbine has also been invented, and employed in many places in the same city, iii driving Gramme machine for the production of the electric light. Water is very abundant in Zurich; but there are other towns in which this do- mestic water power could be advanta- geously introduced Where it is any ob- ject to keep a record of the water used, an indicator showing the quantity might be affixed to the machine.

Ruined by Rum.

Tho most thrilling and sadly sug- gestive temperance lecture is the sight of Q once noble, talented man, left in ruins by intoxicating drink. A Wash ington paper tells us of ragged beggar, | we'll known in the streets of that city, who once held an important command in the army, having been promoted, for personal bravery, from cavalry lieu tenant to nearly the highest rank in military service. One night recently, when he had been too successful in beg ging liquor to sate his raving, and while lying helplessly drunk in the rear part of Third Street saloon, some men thought to play joke on him by steal ing his shirt, and proceeded to strip him. Underneath his shirt, and suspended by string from his neck, was small canvas bag, which the men opened and found it contained his commission as breyet major general, two congratulatory letters-one from General Grant and one from President Lincoln-a photograph of little girl, and curl of hair-a "chestnut shadow" that doubtless one day crept over the brow of some loved one.
 When these things were discovered, even the half drunken men who found them felt respect for the mans former greatness, and pity for his fallen con- dition, and quietly returned the bag and its contents to where they found them, and replaced the sleeper's clothes upon him.
 When reporter tried to interview the man, and endeavored to learn something of his life in the past few years, he de- clined to communicate anything. He cried like child when told how bis right name and former position were ascertained, and with tears tricklmg down his cheeks, said:
 For Gods sake, sir, don't publish my degradation, or my name, at least, if you are determined to say something about it. It is enough that know my self how low I have become. Will you promise that much? It will do no good, but Will do my friends 8 great deal of harm, as, fortunately, they think I died in South America, where I went at the close of the war
 Intemperance and the gambling table, he said, had wrought his ruin.

The Arabs Horse.

There is a good story in the French language about "The Arabs Horse, :" and the following is translation: Abou- El Marsch, an Arab chief, was attacked on the desert by band of horsemen in the service of the Pacha of Acra, and Abou's men melted before the soldiers like snow in the sun. Abou was wounded sorely, and led captive to the mountains of Saphadt. There the soldiers camped one night, binding Abou's legs together with a leather thong and casting him upon the ground Abou could find no rest He looked up at the stars and groaned aloud Midnight came and still he could not sleep. He wondered what his poor people were doing away in Jeri- cho, and where the apple of his eye, the blood of his heart, the very nail of his big toe, his noble horse, indeed, had been taken by the Pacha's men. Just at that moment Abou heard faint neigh. That was familiar sound. Could 1t be his courser? Abou looked through the dark ness and saw his horse cautiously ap- proaching Abou raised his hand. The horse bounded forward with shrill scream, seized his master by the leather waist belt, and bore him with magniti- cent bounds down the mountain side. The soldiers pursued, but the Arabs horse was like a thing of wings, For hours and hours he galloped on, until at last he laid the unconscious form of Abou at the feet of his tribe. Abou soon re- covered, but the noble horse expired of fatigue. The whole tribe bemoaned his loss, and his name constantly is in the mouths of the Arabs of Jericho.

The Fifteen Puzzle.

There was a. diversion for the court room audience in the Brooklyn, N. Y., Court of Sessions during trial. In summing up for the defence the lawyer compared the conduct of the prosecution to the fifteen puzzle, which he said that Assistant District Attorney Weinberg, after sitting up all night, solved, but could never tell afterward how he did it.
 Juror Constantine Tasso, who had shown 0 new interest in the case at the mention of the fifteen puzzle, excitedly exclaimed: "I did it. I got it right :; yet couldn't tell how I did it.'
 There was peal of laughter from the counsel and audience, in which the pris- oner could not help joining.
 "Did what, MT. Juror ?" seriously demanded Judge Moore. "What did you do ?'
 "I did 1.-the puzzle! I got it right!'' said the juror, excitedly. And while the audience laughed, he nodded his head at the Assistant District Attorney and re- peated: "I did it got it right p
 Judge Moore-It is very wrong for you to converse with counsel about the fifteen puzzle.
 The Juror (gesticulating)-I know it, your Honor, but did it; got it right
 "Will you stop?" demanded Judge Moore, rapping with his gavel. "This is very wrong indeed, and it must stop.
 The juror subsided. He voted to con. vict the prisoner, but the latter's counse said the vote was due more to frater nifty of feeling with the Assistant Dis trict Attorney over having solved the fifteen puzzle than it was the result O. belief

The Man Who Found Some Money.

The other day very common looking man, dressed in very common clothes, entered a saloon in Detroit, the Free Press says, at moment when the pro- prietor was alone and asked him to lock the door for Q moment and count the contents of pocketbook which he had just picked up on the street. The door was locked, and as 8 fat-looking wallet was handed out the stranger said: "I can't read nor write nor tell fggers, but know you won't cheat me-"
 The money counted up just $100. There were two twenty-dollar bills, and the rest were of smaller denominations. The stranger said he would hand the wallet over to the police, and thanked the saloonist and departed. In about 6 l quarter of an hour he returned and con. tidentially said:
 'I gave up all the money but ten dollar bill, which I'm going to keep fol my honesty. Let's drink" " He threw down one of the $20 bills anc | drank his beer. It was remembered that | he had said he couldn't tell the figures or the bills, and he was given change fol 1 ten dollars.
 "Was that five or ten ?" he asked as the twenty was put away.
 "Oh, that's ten, was the reply. The man drank once more, and ther | took his leave. In the course of an hom | a detective was looking for him on the charge of passing a counterfeit bill, but he could not be found. May be thai saloonist made $1O out of him, and may | be he didn't.

The town clock having ceased e

Mr.. w. G Wirwa, who has it i
charge, made an examination as to the
cause yesterday morning and found
that some dastardly sneak thief, toe
mean to b. called villain, had broken
open lhe door at the entrance, gone ur
into tho tower and poured nitric acid
over the clock works. 1t is impossi.
bic to conceive what motive could have
impalled anyone to so low and CON
temptlble an act. The clock was pub.

anoe or Injury to anyone. The vile
psrpetrator, whoever he may be, must
have committed the act for the pure
qualification OF his 6endish propen-
sites and selected this particular man
ner Of satiatiDg his inborn meanness,
because he was too sDeaking and COW
ardly to commit bolder deed. The
action OF the acid on the bra works
caused them TO coIrode, and though
considerable injury was effected, the
damage is not irreparable, and the
works having been rlhbed off and
properly oiled, the clock is now run
ming in good time. The next grand
jury sh( uld look into this matter with
scrutiny, and if possible bring the Of
fender to justice. The clock has been
tampered with once or twice before
this year by some unknown party, and
if the matter is looked into closely the
Derpetrstor may be detected. When
once caught he should be vigorously
prosecuted, for such a man is fit for
arson, midnight assassination or any
other crime, and is dangerous to the
community.
