LEOmARGARNE
Investigated by a Congressional
Committee-The Butter-mak-
ers Indignant Over the
Manner In which the
Investigation was
Conducted.

A New York dispatch says: The
oleOmargarine-makers scored a point
on the butter dealers to. day by in
viting the house agricultural commit
tee to inspect the manufacture Of the
article. Eight members responsed.
The chemist Of the committee was
Mr.. Steele, of North Carolina, who
had a deal to say about stearine, but
terine and l%actine, while the commit.
tee went through the mandatory.
First; the room was visited where
the tallow Of oxen, cows, and cattle
generally was received and separated
from anything of the non-fat nature.
The tallow was boiled before the eyes
of the committee, and then transferred
to the heated room, where it is
churned. The heated grease is drawn
off into watts containing chopped ice,
which serves to CONCEAL the oleomar-
garine. Then the yellow substance is
churned in milk to give it flavor. and
salt and annato, the coloring matter,
is added.
The members of the committee
seemed to be we'll satisfied that the
methods of manufacture were all that
could be wished. They talked to the
employees, drank milk, smelled of the
oleomargarinou product, inspectedth the
clean and implanted interiors, and said
very little. Then they embarked on
a government tug, and hoated down
the North and up the East rivers,
while they ate luncheon and discussed
the merits of oleomargarine.
In the evening the Oleomargarine-
makers gave the committee q banquet
in Delmonico's. Meantime the butter
dealers we're holding an Indignation
meeting and denouncing the oleomar-
garine-makers for imposing on the
congressman. Mr.. Real criticised the
manner in which the oleomargarine
dealers attempted to advertise their
progress. Mr.. Carr believed that OLE
omargarine was injurious to the health,
and its manufacture was a fraud upon
the producer aud consumer. Mr..
Lloyd said 100000 people and vast
sums of money we're engaged in the
butter business, and the great trade
that had been built up was jeopardized
by half a dozen oleomargarine manu-
facturers. Twenty persons engaged in
the trade could throw as much ole
omargarine on the market as would
swamp all the butter dealers. Ole
omargarine was very injurious 20 dys-
peptic persons.
Mr.. Ferris said the destruction of
the butter business would affect the
wealth of the nation. The man who
invented oleomargarine was now Ian
gushing in a South American prison
for attempting to pass off a mixture Of
base metals as gold. 1t was not allow
ed to be given to the pauperson Black.
wells Island. Other gentlemen spoke
to the same effect, and a committee
was appointed to interview the con-
gressmen.

THE AZTEC
Mexican and South American
g Ruins 10 be Explored by
Prof: Charmay.


New York Times.l
M. Desire Charnay, who has been
commissioned by the French govern
ment to conduct the archaeological
expedition to Mexico, Central Ameri-
ca and the northern part of South
America, has arrived in this city, and
taken rooms at the Brunswick hotel.
Mr.. Lorillard will defray part of the
expenses of the expedition, and in re-
turn he will receive part Of the pro-
ducts of the scientists researches,
but whether in photographs, fac
smiles, or antiquities, has not yet
been determined. NJ. Charnay is ac-
cOmpanied by his secretary, NJ. Albert
Lemaire, a graduate of the Academic
de Beaux Arts. He will probably
engage some other scientist in New
York, but he remarked, 81 shall need
a mar of action, and not an office
theorist, for during several months we
shall have to work as hard as common
laborers." NJ. Charnay will 90 to
Washington in a few days, and prob
ably obtain letters from the admins
~tratioH 10 the Mexican authorities,
and he may have an interview with
Senior Zamacona, the Mexican minis
ter in this country. He will then
return to this city, and a fortnight
thereafter will start for his field of
labOrs. His travels there will cover
1850 miles along the valley
Of Mexico, to Yucutan and Guata-
mala. When asked whether he
thought the Mexican government
would permit him to remove any of
the antiquities that he might come
across in his excavations, NJ. Charnay
said he hoped it would. If he did re-
ceive permission he would make very
thorough researches, which would
benefit scientific circles in Mexico as
we'll as in the United States and
France; but il they were to withhold
the permission, he would conine him
self to taking photographs, impress
sions of the hieroglyphics and en-
CRAVINGS, and making fac-similes of
the antiquities. Should he make any
excavations, under these circum-
stances, it would be only in the in
terror and far from any cities. How
ever, it was too early to speak about
this, becausean endeavor will be made
to obtain permission by special treaty.
M. Charnay is very we'll acquainted
with the territory he is about to visit,
having been there in 1857 on an ex.
plOring expedition. lie took photo
graphs Of temples. monuments and
tombs, and wrote his observations in
his work called Cites ct Ruines
Americaines. On being asked
whether he thought that the Aztec
race were the builders of those monu-
ments, ETC., NJ. Charnay replied that
there were various opinions about
that, and that he did not think it
proper to state what his opinion was,
as it might not be correct. There was
at least a doubt about that question.
He was going now to make a thor
ough exploration, and secure all the
photographs and impressions he could,
and, if possible, original antiquities
too. After completing hal part of
his labor, he would submit the re-
suits, together with his opinions upon
the subject.

The money markets Of the east are

while this is in part attributed to the
locking up Of funds for stock specula-
ton, together with the heavy, not to
say wild dealing in this line for some
time past, much is also due to the fact
that a much larger yolums Of funds
remains in the south and west than

rate of 8 per cent. Louisville and
Nashville railway stock closedin New
York yesterday at 151, a fall of liz
from its highest figures. The decline
in stocks appears to be general, but
the drop in Louisville and Nashville
may be in part influenced by the de-
termination Of Shelby county to put
10000 shares on the market at an
early day. The meagre vote cast last
Tuesday was a very poor expression Of
public sentiment, but it was enough,
being nearly all on one side, and it is
understood that the committee Of the
quarterly court, will arrange to sell
the stock as soon as the matter can be
put in proper shape, which will per-
haps be within a very few days. The
