The American CitltiUator says that
Western butter is largely adulterated
with powdered soapstone, in the proper
ton of about a pound of soapstone to
seven pounds of butter. The discovery
was first made in New York, through
the fact that the old-fashioned tubs,
which always contained, when full, fifty
to fifty-two pounds, suddenly began to
show a weight of fifty-five to sixty
pounds The soapstone or rather tale,
is found in many localities West and
South. When scraped with 3 knife, it
forms an exceedingly fine, light. white
powder, free from any grit, and entirely
tasteless, but of course utterly indiges-
tible

the campaign. The expressions of horror

the campaign. The expressions OF horror
which the French press utters, however,
are not altogether warrantable. There are
always two sides to every case. The Arabs
have no doubt done cruel and bloody
deed, though nothing ike as cruel and
bloody as that which Marshal Pelissier
perpetrated in Africa twenty years ago,
when he shut up five hundred Arab
men, women and children, in cave, and
then deliberately sufocated them all
by keeping fires burning before the en-
trance. But in the present case the
Arabs have been exasperated to a
pitch OF frenzy by the apparently
wanton destruction of their olive planta.
tions, and the deliberate devastation of
every cultivated spot passed over by the
French. The plain truth is that the
Frenchman can be a very cruel and even
brutal foe when he has half-civilized or
savage antagonist, and that French mill
tary methods in African warfare have
never been Of kind to inculcate hu.
mainly and Clemency in their opponents
The Arabs, too, are fighting outrdnce,
and they doubtless think it their wisest
policy to kill Frenchmen wherever they
find them. Of course this is very wrong
but it seems to have been quite as much
the French as the Arab policy in the past,
and after all it may be said for it that it is
calculated to terminate war the sooner.

GuIrEAU AND ELS COUNSEL.

Guiteau has, after all, succeeded in secur-
ing counsel, his brother-in-law, Scoville,
having been persuaded to accept the disa-
greeable duty. 1t appears that he sees no
other line of defense to be feasible than
that Of insanity, and it is very grotesque
to read of Guiteau's discussions with his
lawyer as to the utility of defense which
he makes no pretense of believing in. and
to which he gives the lie by all his actions.
It is probable thai Scoville does not feel at
all enthusiastic over the task before him,
and that he will con6ne himself to a formal
defense. The supposition that it will
make much difference to Guiteau what
his lawyer may say or do for him is, how
ever, scarcely tenable. Unless jury is
collected from the insane asYlums it would
appear impossible to find twelve men in the
country who cannot be trusted to return a
verdict against the assassin of murder in
the first degree.

WHAT "HoLE Is IT?

A dispatch says that the whalers are all
very positive that the Jeanette has en-
tered what they call "the Hole" Is it
possible that the positive whalers re.
ferred to here are believers in the once
celebrated theory of "Symmes' Hole p
The present generation probably know very
little about that ingenious hypothesis OF
the redoubtable Symmes. What he be-
lieyed was that the earth was hollow, and
that there was an entrance to this under
world at the North Pole. He stoutly
maintained the theory that it was possible
to sail into the middle of the hollow globe,
and thatmany vessels which had disappeared
in the Arctic seas had simply found this
passage, and thence made their way to
countries which he supposed to be just as
populous and fertile as those on the outer
surface of the earth. Of course il the
Jeanette has found her way into "Sym-
mes Hole" we shall never hear of her
again, but it is possible that the whalers
have reference to some other hole.

The Republican State Convention of
New York has assembled under extremely
dubious circumstances, but though the
tendencies appear to have been at the out
set rather turbulent, the sagacity CT the
leaders seems to have averted anything
like an outbreak. The Garfield men were
evidently determined to claim and exercise
all the advantages to which their numerical
majority entitled them. They would rot
show General Sharpe any favor when he
opened the meeting. and they elected
Warner Miller their Chairman by major
ity which fully explained their boldness.
It was apparent that they had no DISPOSE
ton to put up with any arrogance from
the machine" delegates, and the latter
evidently perceived this, and prudently
governed themselves accordingly. Miller
made an attempt to establish fraternal
feeling by shaking hands in an elusive
manner with Sharpe, but this little DEM
onstration did not take very well. There
is a strong effort on the part of the man.
agsrs of both sides to promote good feeling,
and it may succeed, but there is plainly a
great deal of repressed antagonism in the
body, and whether its labors will result
in harmony or split remains to be seen.
