Oleomargarine in New York.

WHATEVER may be the fact in respect to the
quality of oleomargarine and lard butter
whether these substances are better or worse
than real butter: whether they are harmless or
hurtful or beneficial to the persons eating
thcm-it is clear that tie consumer has an
them.
From the testimony already given before
the committee of the Legislature now iuvesti-
eating this subject in this city It appears that
in the greater number of cases this informa-
ton is not attainabe. As matter OF " BUSH
ness" it was said on Saturday. the grocer who
has laid in a stock Of these substitutes for but
ter-costing him less than butter-hnds IL 1u-
dicious to sell them at the market price of but
ter because ic they were sold ut q fair profit
and under their real names the consumer
would not take them.
This may be regarded as a very shrewd pro-
ceeding from the point of view Of the grocer.
but from the point of view of the public 1t Is
thoroughly disreputable and outrageous, and
an end should be made of it forthwith.
Some distinguishing marks should be affixed
10 these substances, in order to prevent con-
sumers from being swindled, for that is the
precise word which describes trade of this
sort.
If oleomargarine and lardine are wholesome
and worthy objects of commerce. they will
surely make their way under true colors; but
whether they are so or not, the public cannot
afford to be cheated systematically as to an
important part of their daily food.
S<ne Of the men concerned i'm the manufact-
ure and sale of these substitutes for butter
have estimable public regulations to sustain.
If they have any intelligent regard for their
reputation they will forego for the present all
argument as to the actual qualities of these
substances, which is an entirely secondary
matter, and will unite in defense of the COM
munity from an unconscionabe practice i'm
well-devised and practicable measure which
will enable any buyer, however dull he or she
may be, to distinguish readily and certainly
the substitutes for butter from the genuine
article.
According to the testimony presented on
Saturday, no one in this or the adjacent cities
can tell as he sits down TO dinner this evening
of what the "butter" on his table Is made.
From this doubt and uncertainty the public
must be relieved, and we hope that the relief
will be given voluntarily.-N. Y. Post, March "a

A Fathers Vengeance.

OFFICERS from this State have just returned
from Texas with old man DahlRreen, arrested
on a charge of murder, who has a most re-
markable history. He lived before the war I'm
the northern part of Tennessee. His home was
pleasant one, and with his wife aud two sons
he lived very happily on his farm until quar-
rel arose between neighbors. The difficulty
was patched, but one of the sous-both of
whom had grown to mans estate-conceived
tt q, he had been wronged, and ono day while
he and his brother were passing along the road
in wagon they came up with five men. their
neghbors, and the quarrel Broke sout afresh.
The young men were courageous, and would
not be init Undated by their opponents.
Hot words led to blows, and the five men,
pulling pistols, fired upon the Dahlgreen boys
and killed them They ran away, and, fearing
the vengeance of old man Dahlzreen-for he
was even then considered quite an old man
disappeared from the community. OF course
Dahlgreen and his wife were nearly distracted
ut the sad death of their "boys," of whom they
were very proud, and Mrs. Dahlgreen never re-
covered from the blow, but about the time the
war broke out died. and the husband was left
to lament the separation of his family.
He conceived the idea that nothing was left
in this life for him except to obtain venge-
ance on the men who had robbed him of his
sons He devoted the remainder OF his life to
this purpose. He began systematically to
search for the five men, whose names were
Gridley, Black, Hewitt, Meyers and a man
called Black Tom,' but whose true name was
Lurdy, and one after another was met and
killed.
He had no scruples, no conscience. His sole
object was to put the villains who made life
no object to him out of the way. He took no
interest in the war. 1t mattered not whether
the North or South were victors. He shot
Meyers and Lurdy in Tennessee, and escaped
the officers who were set upon mis- track.
The old man disappeared from his country,
and no traces of him were heard for several
years. The man Grdley died Of pneumonia
in Cincinnati, and Black is serving out n term
I'm the State Penitentiary at Columbus, for
burglary.
The last of these men. Hewitt. was slowly
but surely tracked by Dahlgreen to Colorado.
and in a little town on the frontier of the
State at Coyote, he came up with him and
shot him in cold blood, after he had thrown
up his hands and asked for mercy. The little
community was terribly excited about the
murder, and started officers on the track of
Dahlgreen, who threw them Off the scent.
No more was heard of him until last month,
when information was received that he was
in Houston, Tex, and there he was arrested.

A Fearful Explosion.

A RECENT Wilkesbarre tPa) dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune says: "A fearful explosion
of dynamite occurred soon after midnight
this morning at ehe Heidelberg shaft of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company. a few miles
north of this city, by which william Hensley,
of this place, was torn to shreds, and the en-
gineer, william Williams, of Pittston, was
probably fatally injured. The Heidelberg is
a new work in the rock, the coal not being
reached. Hensley was I'm the engine-house
affixing percussion cap to charge
of the powerful explosive containing
q pound and half, when 1t ex-
ploded, and the conclusion started some
ten pounds more standing near by. Tho
effect was fearful. The cngine-housc aud
noisting engines were smashed into atoms
and sent flying through the air like tops of
thistles. Windows were broken in Pittston.
and the people started from their beds I'm af
fright, fearing that the town had been blown
mp by an unusual accumulation of fire-damp
in the worked-out mines below. that had by
some means been ignited by the miners ut
work down in the subterranean chambers, new
or having heard such a racket before"

"A new theory OF the conversion OF
bar iron into steel, by the cementation
process, has been advanced by MIR. X.
S. Marsden. He attributes the result
to the diffusion of the carbon In the con-
dition of an impalpable powder into the
heated iron, and he believes that silicon
can diffuse itself in similar way through
iron. This action Of the carbon In iron
is analogous to the penetration of red
hot porcelain crucible by carbon.
The precautions taken In Prussia to
guard against trichine in swine are ex-
ceedingly careful and thorough. Ber-
lin is divided into districts, each OF
which has its separate inspector OF
swine's meat, an official who Is held TO
strict accountability. In Konigsberg
there is an establishment in which the
meat infected with the dreaded parasite,
after being cut into small pieces, Is
boiled for twelve hours, and then sub
jected to the action of chemicals that ro-
duce it to powder.

revolution in the prices of such bric-a-

Though the presence of gold In
pyrites has long been known, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, the cost of extracting
the precious metal has until lately rem
dered the operation Improbable. IL Is
stated that an important discovery has
been made which at last solves this diff
Guilty. The process, which is Of French
origin, has yet to be tried on q large
scale; but up to this time the expert
ments that have been made are said to
show a return of between one-half and
three-quarters of an ounce of gold from
each ton of pyrites treated. This dis
covery is exciting very great interest In
the pyrites trade. One well-known con-
Germ have secured the right to the patent,
and are now erecting the apparatus
necessary for working the process.
