Thomas A. Hendricks.
Philadelphia Times. I

Thomas A. Hendricks is one of the few
great party leaders who has been the con-
trolling spirit of his party in q great State
tor : quarter of q century, with the cordial
support OF bis organization, and that is one
of the rarest OF individual achievements Ia
modern politics. Even Blaine, the most
popular and personally magnetic OF Rspub
lIcan leaders has lost his State, with Re
publican me jOriiy that, in proportion to the
vote polled, would scare up so 600 in the
vote Of Indiana. Tilden and COnkling have
divided parties behind them which practi-
cslly exclude them from q hopeful presi-
dental contest. Sherman and Thurman
have little heart and less unity in their
respective followings in Ohio, and Cameron
must often evade the popular judgment Of
his party to maintain his control in Penn

How To Say No

Many promising young man has been
ruined because he did not know how TO say
no. Hannah More, in her story of Farley
the Porter" illustrates the evil results of dali
lying with temptation. The porter parleyed
with the enemy until the house was robbed
and ruined There are many people who say
'No,p but so family that the words seem to
stick in the throat, and only invite further
persuasions. Said one little boy who was
advised to persuade his mother to reconsider
some decision to which she had come, when
my mother says NO., there is no Yes in it."
Many a man tempted by appetite within
and by associates without, says mo" but
feebly and family; his No, has Yes in it,
and the Yes finally prevails over the No.
We remember an anecdOte of a young Rhode
Island boy, which we put on record in sub
stance as we heard it related. He was COM
ing along up the street one day with young
man who lived near him, who was somewhat
exhilarated with strong drink, and after
walking along awhile his compapion drew g
bottle from his pocket and said; a
'Have some?"
''Well, hand it over" replied our friend.
The bottle was passed 10 him, and raising
it aloft he hurled it with a crash against the
stone wall, and turning to his dazed and as
tonished companion. said, "There don't you
ever put bottle to my lips again"
The young man was perhaps little in
clined TO be irritated, but had sense enough
to restrain his anger, and while our friend
had no further occasion to resist his solicita-
tons 10 drink, there is reason to suppose that
the forcible example set before his compan-
ion had restraining Influence to hold him
back from an evil path.
That young mans "No" had ''no Yes
in it" and his parents look with a just pa
rental pride upon a son who has grown up
undeiled by alcohol, and tobacco, and kin
dred denominations, and who is their joy and
hope for days to come.

privilege of being independent but knowl-
edge is more precious than gold. There is
hardl y anything that people will not part with
for money; but we never knew any person
who would be willing to be deprived of his
knowledge and become ignorant for any price.
This shows the superlative value which all
persons put upon the knowledge which they
have in their possession. 1t is a treasure
priceless and imperishable.

BUTTER DIN { MENTs.

There are vile compounds known as but
terine aud oleomargarine extensively manu-
featured and sold to ignorsntand unsuspect-
ing people as genuine butter. There should
be some means devised TO put stop to the
business. No one has a right to practice
receptions in the preparation Of food. Such
transactions assume many OF the charsc-
teristics of crime. All OF the ingredients
that enter into any article of food should be
known. In no other way can the health and
the lives of the people be protected; and to
place in peril the health and lives of the PEG
pie Is a crime. Butterine and oleomarga-
rine, which are sold for butter, are not butter.
They are compounds of butter. grease, milk
or buttermilk, salt and certain coloring
substances, which render them dangerous as
fJod. None know, except the manufactur-
ere, what kind OF grease is used. None but
the manufacturers know what the coloring
material Is that is used, or what chemical
processes are resorted TO to give them the
appearance of butter, thereby decsiviug the
people. We are informed that the vile com
pounds are manufactured In secret; no one
is allowed TO invt stigate the process, to know
what kind OF grease is used, whether il is
soap grease, rancid lard, head aud gut fat. or
something else-but we understand the pro-
cess is most sickening and repulsive, which
probably accounts for the secrecy of the ope-
ration. We understand that !, 800 pounds of
this butter ointment can be manufactured,
having for basis 500 pounds of butter.
Tsbulated, the butter ointment transaction

Meantime Senator Chaffee was recuperating
his health in the orange groves of Florida.
Mr.. Bearoe was working diligently at his re-
serves. He worked too diligently, for he
withdrew ore that served as supports, and as
the mine was badly timbered the ground
came down. burying the anticipated
March dividend. In 10 months divi-
dends aggregating nearly sl,5O0oOO
had been paid. Up to the LIST of March the
gross bullion product of the four claims from
the date of location, calculated from the best
information, was over $5,500O0O. This in
cluded dividends, working expenses, cost of
permanent improvements, and working
charges, deducting the profits of smelters
and ore buyers.
1t is certain that both Chaffee and Moffat
received information of the burial of the
March dividend 10 days in advance of the
other directors. They held about 10000
shares between them. Over $1,000 shares
| were sold before the end of the month, and
the stock ran down like a clock without
pendulum. On February % il struck l3. The
panic was aggravated by ring of bears, in
Guiding possibly few of the virtuous direc-

busy as bees and twice as annoying. They
resorted to every device to keep the stock on

offer them at four or five points below the
market rate While the stock was trembling

serting that the mine had petered out. This
again sent the stock whirling down hill, and

NIGHT-CAPs.-A A we'll known London doctor
writes as follows to morning paper, in reply
to an American physician, who, in order to in
duce sleep, recommends half tumbler or a
tumbler full of one of the lighter French red
wines, either Claret or Burgundy, before going
to bed: 81 am quite willing to allow that
such 'night-cap,' should it effect the desired
end, is better than any drug or chemical, and
yet is not without objection. I have been in
the habit of using for some time as a soporiic
most admirable and successful 'night-cap,'
against which no objection can be raised, and
which in large number of cases effects the
desired end. Immediately before getting into
bed, or better still, when in bed, take break
fast cup of hot beef tea that made from half
a teaspoonful of Liebig's Extract (Liebig Com
pany's Extract of Meat) I find to be the best.
This soothes and settles the stomach, allays
brain excitement and induces sleep."-Morn-

ANNUAL REPORTS.
MILK INSPECTORS REPORT.

hlLh
Dr. Henry 7. Cummings reports that up to
July II, 1879, 100 milk dealers reported and re-
ceived licenses. The milk was tested, by the
new apparatus forwarded from Germany, DUR
ing July, August and September, and $50
stores visited and examined, of which 133 ex-
aminations are recorded. These visitations
include every place where milk is sold Dur
ing this time, and up to date, 112 more names
were added to the register, total of 212
licensed dealers who sell from store or carriage.
The general opinion of dealers in regard to
milk inspectors was the reverse of compliment
tary, which was natural. The inspector gives
an elaborate description of the new apparatus.
which fulfils all requirements perfectly. 1t
comprises hydrometer, centigrade thermom.
eter, cremometer, lactroscope, pipette, and two
test bottles. The tests showed pretty high
standard OF milk of excellent quality through
out the CITY, In table of SO dealers, each
presenting from one to eight specimens, taking
the lowest percentage of butter in standard
milk or per cent, we find only seven indi-
Gated less than per cent; 50 showed to 81
per cent, 60 from to 4f per cent, 7 from 5 to
81 per cent. and gave per cent.
Although reports have reached the Inspector
concerning manufactured OR adulterated milk
they have been of the vaguest character and
not worthy of attention. All dealers called
upon took out licences, although some OF them
did so reluctantly. The Inspector recommends
the issue of hand-bills to inform dealers in
store sand carriages of the time when he will be
in his office to issue licenses. 1.-The proper way
to notify is through the Portland papers.-ED.l
These hand bills should be in addition to the
advertising requirements of the statutes.
The Inspector would like to know also if
farmer peddling. milk along with country
produce comes within the meaning of the
statutes. The Inspector thinks the fees of the
office should be increased if the Inspector is to
obtain maintenance out of the Office. The
Inspector ! sattended at the office five months,
travelled 150 TO 200 miles, and has received
$11O, of which $25 went for the purchase of
instruments. The Inspector thinks the ad-
vantages Of the examination would have been
very much greater If in addition to the exam
ination by instruments these examinations
could have been verified by chemical analysis,
an expense, however, this city would not have
felt like assuming.
