The Milk SMindle.

The bill recently passed by the New
Jersey Legislature TO suppress and
punish the sale Of SKINNED milk, is
n commendable measure. It's restrict
i've provisions are stringent, but ex-
cellent in scope, and Will receive the
endorsement of the public and all honest
dealers. II provides that every one
who shall Offer for sale, transfer or carry,
or have in possession with intent 10
sell, milk from which the cream has
been removed, shall attach to each and
every can or other receptacle metal
stamp with the words SKINNED milk"
engraved thereon. All who offer for
sale or have in their possession skinned
milk not so marked, or any adulterated
milk, are liable to penalty of $50 for
the first offAnse and 800 for the second
offepse and all subsequent offenses Of
The kind. In default of payment, tho
law imposes the penalty Of imprison-
ment for not less than ten or more than
sixty days. Similar penalties are
further imposed upon persons who shall
keep milking COWS in crowded or un
healthy condition or feed them with
food which is calculated to produce
impure, diseased, or unwhclsCme milk.
The law rigidly prohibits feeding the
! animals upon the distillery waste usually
known as "swiii." or upon any sub
stance whatever which is in an uu-
wholesome condition or has an injurious
effect. SO far as the adulteration is
concerned, the new law Is very COM
prehensive, and declares that in addi-
lion to that doctored with the common
adulterant, water, all milk shall be
cl used as adulterated which is obtained
fro-n animals fed on "swill," or other
Dc leterious stuff, or that has been ex-
posed toor contaminated by the presence
of unhealthy surroundings, or in
proximity to persons or places infected
with contagious disease. In general,
all milk found upon analysis TO contain
less than II per cent of milk solids or
more than SO per cert. Of watery fluids
Is classed as adulterated." For the
purpose of securing proper inspection
to suppress illegal traffic by milk
dealers, the law finally provides for the
appointment of an Inspector at a salary
OF $500 per year. This official is eni-
powered to open any receptat ID he may
suspect to contain skinned" or ln-
pure milk for the purpose of analysis
If this shall establish its impure charac-
ter, each can containing doctor5
fluid is to be emptied and the OWL I
prosecuted. Toinsure the more thorou il
enactment of the law, provision is also
made for the appointment of assistaD 's
to the Inspector at salary of S5 p I
day.

THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.


How dear TO this heart are tho scenes Of my
childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to
view
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled
wildwood,
And every loved spot which my infancy
knew
The wide-spreading pond, ard the mill which
stood 10y it,
The bridge, and The rock where the cataract
fell
The cot Of my father, the dairy house
nigh it,
well.
The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket,
The moss-covered bucket which hung in the
well.
That moss-covered vessel hail as a trcasuree
For often at noon, when returned from the
fed,
found it the source Of an exquisite pleasure,
The purest aud sweetest that nature can
yield.
How ardent seized it. with hands that were
glowing
And quick TO the white-pebbled bottom it
fell
Then soon. with the emblem of truth overflow
ing.
And dripping with coolness it rose from the
well
The old oaken bucket the iron-bound bucket,
The mos.-coyercd bucket arose from the well
How sweet from the green messy brim to re-
ceivc it,
As poised On the curb it inclined 10 my lips
Not full blushing goblet could tempt nae to
leave it.
Though filed with the nectar that Jupiter
sips.
And now, far removed from the loved ,ituation,
The fear Of regret will intrusively SWELL
As fancy reverts to my fathers plantation,
And signs for the bucket which hangs in the
well;
The old oaken bucket, the iron-bound bucket ;
The moss-covered bucket which hangs in the
well. ~ Hood,corth

A Romance in Real Life.
MARRIAGE OF COUPLE AFTER FORTY
EIGHT YEARS OF SEPARATION.

The Butte on. ~ Mountain
says:
The particulars of a case wherein
fiction is discounted have recently come
| to light. A romance in real life, in
which the first act was played nearly
fifty years ago, has jlst been brought
to a happy termination by the union
forever OF two fond hearts, which 4
cruel fate had separated by distance
! of l 400 miles for half a century, lacking
two years. Forty-eight years ago John
Saunders one of the wealthiest cattle
! kings of Montana, who was then poor
youth, with nothing to recommend him
but a spotless reputation. brave heart
and q love for the beautiful and pnre.
| became enamored of Kentucky belle,
! whose father was rich man. His ten
derness was 1eciproc tied, bnt the parent
| of the Young lady refused his consent to
the marriage, and was inexorable.
| Young Saunders was powerless to
change the old mans mind, and was too
honorable to press his suit in family
where his presence was unweicome. He,
therefore, sought an interview with the
girls parent, who for the last time told
him to abandon all hope of marriage as
far as his daughter was concerned, as
the difference in their social positions
was an insurmountable barrier.
How much are you worth?" asked
the Young lover.
/ could transfer my property into
million dollars cash, }" was the naughty
reply.
Very well, answered youpg Saun-
ders, " to morrow morning I leave for
the West to carve out a fortune, and
when | can size up to your million dol
lars will return and claim my bride, for
know she will be true"
The young man kept his promise after
q long and painful interview with his
inamorata, aud with small outfitstruck
ont bravely for the Western Territories
Since that time forty-eight years have
elapsed, during which, with varying
success, he has dipped into numerous
enterprises from the British line to
Sonora He came to Montana in early
days and embarked IN the cattle busi-
ness with firm of Helena, with such
remarkable success that the firm now
own nearly 10000 head on the Teton.
About month ago, Saunders figured
up his assets, concluded he was worth
million, ard Immediately left for Ken
tucky. He found the love of his young
days waiting for him, confident and
hopeful of his final arrival. The 40
were married with as little ceremony as
possible, and expect to be sufficiently
happy for the remainder OF their lives
10 compensate them for long years OF
hope deferred and separation.

The Tickets.

! Archibald Forbes in an interesting
! sketch in the May Centary, tells this
story on himself:-There is in America
considerable proportion of coiored
population; but the "cullured folk "are
not in any appreciable number among
lecture audiences; indeed, do not re-
member ever to have noticed colored
listener On one occasion, however, l
had reason to anticipate this pleasure.
Arriving one afternoon at the station OF
little town in Pennsylvania, handed
my valise to colored man who offered
to take it, and told him I would walk
up to the hotel. 1 was standing at tho
hotel counter, talking with the local
agent. when he arrived with the valise.
"What shall l give you, George? ?"
was my question.
D'know, boss" SAID he, in bashful,
winning way, "Td like ticket to the
leckchaw tonight pow'ful p
This was indeed a touching compli-
ment, and at my request the local agent
gave him a pass. 1 was SO foil of com
piacency that asked the man whether
he had p wife.
Wife? Yes, boss, Use got wife,
an I'm sho' she'd like ticket too'
4 ticket was handed him for the wife,
and he departed, grateful; but when
lecture-time came, | searched the
audience in vain for a colored man or
colored woman. Next morning, George
duly turned up to carry my valise down
to the station.
"I didn't see you at the lecture last
night" / ventured to observe.
Leckchaw p retorted George, with
undisguised contempt "Psha don't
shin around no leckchaws Why, /
traded off them ere tickets for twenty
Ii cents p
And away he tramped with the valise,
mumbiing predatory comments in
reference TO ieckchaws."

Stephen. We were treated very much
like two children who had been forgiven,
and whose fault was not to be thrown
up to them.
That was the way the men took it,
and Norman pretended to be satisfied.
The women acted with a great deal more
intelligence. They all came to see me,
and though did not give them ali credit
Tor the very kindest of motives, made
them all welcome. l told them about
my wedding trip, and showed them my
new things, and l dare say the men
talked everything over with them after
ward.
But what most puzzled everybody
was that Stephen Barker came so often
to see us, and was so friendly with Nor
man. Some thought it very mean-
spirited in him, and others remembered
that when he was very young he had
loved my mother dearly. Even those
who spoke kindly cf him did not give
him credit for half the noble unselflsh-
ness he had shown; for he would not
let me tell any one that it was he him
self who had planned every thing about
my property and my wedding.
Just let them say you Tilted ne,
Frances, if they please to do so. We
know better, and we will keep our secret
until Uncle Miles comes round"
Aunt and uncle both came round
sooner than we expected. When it was
known that Stephen spent SO much of
his time with us, Aunt Miles considered
the advantages of havi; g her daughters
lra,,al,f -, Nth
and for their sakes she came to see me
and give me the kiss of reconciliation.
But as far as catching Stephens heart
Sin the r, bound" was concerned, she
was just little too late. Ncrmans SIS
ter, who was n teacher in one of the
public schools of New York, came to
spend her vacation with us, and Stephen
fell in love with her in a way which
convinced me that his love for Frances
Halliday had only been the shadow OF
the love he had for her mother. Why,
Norman himself never behaved more
foolishly about me than Stephen ABOUT
this little PLAN Ruth Strong for she is
piain-every one must allow that.
And the preparations that are going
on for the marriage quite amuse ne,
who might have been the bankers wife
myself. Dear me ! think Love must
often laugh at the kind of people he
comes i'll contact with. But l hope
Stephen will be happy do, indeed.
That is all have to say about my
marriage. ! think it was rather pecu-
liar. Some women will doubtless say
they don't believe such men as Stephen
exist. But let girl when she discovers
she does not like man, tell him so, and
ask his advice and help, and ten to one
she will iiud another Stephen. How
can men be chivalrous and self-denying
if women don't give them opportuni-
ties? think that is wrong, and in
tend always TO give Norman every
chance to cultivate such noble qualities.

He Cured il.

AZ meeting of the old '49ers held in
New York recently, a physician told the
following California reminiscence of
everyday tooth-puliiug:
"They came TO me," said the doctor,
cat the camp to be healed. I had a
small box OF medicines belonging to the
company, and in the box was pair OF
dentists forceps. One night brawny
MINER came TO me with raging tooth
ache. He wanted that tooth pulled. |

doctor, with modest air, st charged

ing the toothache was cured anyway.

Strangled TO Death.

When Sindram was hanged on Friday
a surgeon who stood by, and who had
seen many executions, said that III New
York he had never seen a mans neck
broken by hanging. This is equivalent
to saying that we strangie our murder
ers to death instead of killing them out
right, and 10 one who has noted physi
clans reports on executed criminals
will doubt that this horrible statement
is true. The modern world shivers all
over at the mention of burnlngs of GRIM
inals and martyrs, although man sur
rounded by fame cannot live more than
three or four minutes; what, then, can
be said in favor of nation so barbar-
Gus that its criminals are executed by
a system of torture so deliberate that
/ life fingers for ten, fifteen, twenty and
| even thirty minutes after the choking
process begins? Beheading IN the
! olden times, when axes were duh, ana
! five or six strokes-all within a single
minute-were necessary to the severn
of the head from the body, was ten
times less horrible than the strapgline
| of Sindram. Legislators may not take
a hint from all this, for no legislator be
lieves that he may some day be hanged
still, the subject is worthy OF consider
alton. for many of the strongest adher
ents OF Legislators from this city are
men who richly deserve to dangle from
the eallows, and if they must do it the1
would rather be killed outright thar
