BOHEMIAN DAYS. Thrive American Tales. By
George Alfred Townsend, Gath" Holly /

BOHEMIAN DAYS. Thrive American Tales. By
Co., New York.
Mr.Townsend has in this column simply
gathered up and reprinted three stories
written by him some years ago and accom-
panied them by four poems. The first
story is one entitled "The Rebel Colony
in Paris and depicts the dreary lot of
the Americans who expatriated themselves
during the war Of the rebellion because of
a sympathy with the South, which was
not strong enough to call them home to
espouse the cause they professed to hold
sacred. The story is at once sad and
amusing, and the author, who was in
Paris at the time, claims that he has
faithfully depicted their shiftless aimless
life.
Married Abroad is another story OF
Americans in Paris and the principal
characters are young American student
and Paris grisette whom he "marries -
after fashion peculiar to grisettes, and
deserts after the fashion of students. Ii
is sad and not by any means wholesome
tale
1.-The Deaf Man of Kensington" is a
tale OF the Philadelphia suburb of that
name and it is marked by the wierd fancy
which has lost 50 much charm to Mr..
Townsend S later written but earlier pub
lished, Tales of the Chesapeake. 1t
shows marks, however, OF its earlier origin
before the powers of the writer were fully
developed. Taking the book as whole,
though it is interesting and may sell, ii
will not add to the reputation the author
made for himself in new field by hi,
"Tales of the Chesapeake" and we think
the "Ten friends at dinner at the Gilsy
House, New York, April q, 1879, who
made this publication a promise and al
obligation" did not act for the best in
terests of their friend, the author.

4DULTER1TION IN FOOD.
Articles That Are Bogus from Fifty
to Ninety Per Cent.

Chicago Tribune.
The adulteration of our food, drink and
medicines which it is now sought to pre-
vent by national legislation, has already
attained surprising magnitude. EX-
perence warrants the belief that, if not
efficiently checked, it will be much more
extensive in the future than now. The
work of adulteration is one of growth. 1t
begins in small way and ends nowhere.
In coffee, for example, "A third of a century
ago It was adulterated with chicory to the
extent of about two and half pounds to
the hundred. From that point it grew in
few years to fully 50 per cent. Then
the chicory itself was subjected to
adulteration and now it is not impossible
to obtain samples OF SO called coffee which
do not contain more than 25 per cent. OF
the genuine article. Even the man who
buys his coffee in the berry is
liable to receive a villainous admixturt
of real berries and other stuff which has
been nodded into the true shape, but con
tains none OF the true material. Parties
in the trade can remember when pei
cent. Of adulteration in pepper was about
as much as was considered safe and nov
the bogus amount in the worst cases i,
| not far from nine-tenths OF the whole.
And in these, as Well as other cases toe
| numerous to MENTION yiler stuff is nov
used as substitute than people dared t,
employ at the outset. There is no limit
To the fraud when once it is started, or 4
least the limit is only reached on tn
utter extinction Of the genuine article
| That limit has already been touched il
the case of not few drugs. Ii j. uearlt

We do not understand the object of the
present management of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington & Baltimore railroad in
giving it out that the negotiations have
failed for the transfer of the stock to the
new syndicate, and that there is no
probability of change in management.
Be their object what it may, their state
ments though specifically true, are
essentially false, for the contract for the
delivery of the controlling majority Of the
stock is absolute and Mr.. Thayer cannot
escape delivering it. 1t may cost him
something to do so, but that is his look
out and does not concern the purchasers,
They are sure of what they are promised
by the 18th of the month.

CURRENT LITERATURE.

Scotch Orthodoxy and Modern Thought"

ton, as it touches the vital questions Of
modern theology. 1t is suggested by Scotch
sermons, which has told upon the thinking

Across Patagonia" is shown to be fresh
breezy production. Civilization pslled upon
her ladyship. She wanted a complete change
and was nobly gratifed.

selection, Is concluded. "Orlandos Revenge"
is very queer. The same may be said of
Suwanow, celebrated Russian general of

The Railroad Eight-Mr. CARROTS
Letter to the Legislature.

The Railroad Eight-Mr. CARROTS
Letter TO the Legislature.
The letter from Mr. Robert Garrett pub.
lished in this weeks issue of the STATE
JOURNAL gives additional assurance,
If any we're needed, that the Balt'-
more Il Ohio company had acted in good
faith in endeaSoring TO get through the
Delaware Western bill, and shows how
thoroughly the delay In the Legislature is
responsible for the failure 10 secure the
certainty of competing road.
Mr.. Garrett tells the members plainly
that 1t was their own hesitation and delay
which made him doubt the possibility of
securing competing road, and which
caused the Baltimore Ohio management
to feel that II was the safest course to buy
the existing road when 1t was offered to
them. Mr.. Garrett certainly did not keep
faith with those associated with him,
but 80 far as breach of faith
can be excused he is excused by
the fear the dilly-dsllying of the
Legislature naturally caused that the pend
ing bill, which WAS his only chance, would
be defeated or rendered valueless by hos
tile amendments. 1t is now as plain as
the MONDAY sun that bona .fds effort to
give this State competing line of rail
way was defeated by memb hs of our own
Legislature, and if no remedy can be
found for the terrible wrong inflicted OIL
our people the citizens of Delaware will
hold to stern accountability those respon
sible for their loss.
We greatly fear, from the disposition
still manifested to tack an amendment tc
the bill, that the members have Learned
nothing by the frightful results they hav'
already brought about. There is nj
reason for tying up the men who mus
build a road II any is to be built by re
striotions which may embarrsss the
action. The amendment reported to do.
