With future dark and dreary,
With burden hard to bear.

o this weary, wasting wool
D this longing for the morrow!
o this morning sad and low
The morrow comes, yet still I'm weary,
Still my heart is full of care,
Still my life seems dark and dreary,
Still my burdens hard to bear.

Though hopes are lost, cannot lose

Fraud in the Sale or nus,er.

BALTIMORE, April 15.-In the Criminal
Court to-day Eustace Sanquinetti was put
on trial FOR selling oleomargarine without
, tue marks required TO be affixed by law.
deputy States Attorney Cans conducted
the prosecution, and Messrs. Marshall.
Trippc, aud Rosenthal the defence. The
penalty Is fne Of sl00. or fine and i'm.
pTisonment In Jail In some cases where il
amounts Ia q misdemeanor.
#. X. Ludlam and others testified 10 the
purchase OF the article. which Deputy
States Attorney Wilson G. N. Carr bad
ana'yzed bv Professor Aiken and others.
James Hewes testified he Is butter-d dealer
on South street; he judges butter by the pal-
ate; the sample shown Is not butter, though
1t may have looked like IL.
counsel for defence placed five samples of
butter and oieomargarine before witness.
He at first objected TO being put to such q
test; but finally. after careful examination,
be pointed out which was butter and which
was oleomargarne correctly.
Robert Dorsey Coale, analytical chemist,
testified that he had studied four years at
johns Hopkins University, and analyZed a
sample Of the oleomargarine furnished him
at his laboratory. In bis opinion the intro
duction OF foreign matter can be detected
In butter as well as any other adulterated
substance in food. 0leomargarine can be
distinguished from butter with certainty by
analysis. He had exsyninfd at Johns Hop
kins laboratory lard, butter, and oeomar-
gariOe, including the sample from the
States Attorneys office. One test shows
that, although the fats TO be found In butter
and in oleomargarne are the same in con-
stituent elements, they differ very much in
their properties. The iDsolube fatty acids
in butter are less, and no butter could be
made from milk in which the insolube fatty
acids exist rs largely as In OleOmargarine.
The tests showed that the suspected article
was not butter, but was produced from
animal fat.
Professors p. II. Brown and William E.
A. Akin testified to similar points. Pro-
fessor Akin also examined the suspected
article under the microscope. and found in
it shreds Of animal tissue. This closed the
! States testimony.
The defendant. Sanqunetti. testified that
| lie bought the article he sold to Ludlan
from wagon. 1t was marked New York
Creamery. He had no doubt it was pure
butter, and used it in his own family
| Afterwards he discovered the man who
sold it to him was agent for an oleOmarga.
rine manufacturing company. and at the in
stance OF his counsel he got their names
At this stage the case went over till TO-
| morrow.

Russia's Public Hangman.
From the London telegraph ]


There is but one state eXecutioner in the
vast Russian realm, and he Is pardoned
maleiactor named Frolof, who, 10 the good
old pre-. Nihiistic days, when the abolition
Of capital punishment was still maintained
in Muscovy, committed three successive
murders, and was condemned 70 penal SER
yi,ude for life. When, however, revolu-
tionary successes rendered the services OF
an Imperial hangman indispensable TO the
Ministry OF Justice, Froloh volunteered for
the office on condition that an amnesty Tor
his past misdeeds should be granted to him.
His offer was accepted, and for some time
past he has been a busy man. For every
.sfunction he receives 10 silver rubles--
about E6-from the Russian e Chequer; DCl
that official fee by no means represents the
total emoumenth he derives from the practice
OF his gruesone bandicraft, for he Is per-
mitted TO trade upon the superstition still
current in Russian society respecting the
luck conferred upon gamesters by the pos
session OF morsel OF the rope with which
a human being has been strangled, either
bv the hand Of Justice or by bis own. I'm
med,afply after yvung MladetZky had Dcen
hanged, only the other day, Frolof was
surrounded by members OF the Russian
jeuneSSe dOr<e, eager to purchase scraps ol
the fatal moose; and he disposed OF seyera
dozen such talismans at from TO 8 ruble'
apiece, observing with cynical complacen
cy, when he had sold off his last remnant
that "he hoped the Nihilists would ye
bring him in plenty OF money" There Is
indeed, every prospect, IL the Meiikoi
rfqime only last long enough, that Froloi
Will speedily become wealthy man.
