ADULTERATIoN OF FOOD.

A we'll informed drummer, speak
ing about the adulteration of food,
Gays: "The average man has very
little idea of what he is eating these
days. Almost every article of food
now placed upon our table, is adul-
terated in some way An egg is
about the only thing that they can't
aduIterate. If they could We would
be eating bogus eggs every day OF
of our lives. For instance, musta' d
is being adulterated with yellow corn,
cocoanut shells are being ground up
by the ton 10 Chicago and mixed
with black pepper, tale is being used
largely in the manufacture OF sugar
and -four, syrup is being made from
corn, vinegar from almost anything
that will turn sour, stump water not
excepted, and so on. In Chicago
they are squeezing all the juice out
of hams and mixing the same with
ground up beef, which is sold as
deviled ham. In Atlanta they are
making oleOmargeIiue 10 large guam
titles. The "olio" is bought from
the West, and churned with milk
This make1 our oleomargerine, or
"bulI butter" as it is called by the
boys. So it is with a number Of
other articles. Luxuries, as we'll as
necessaries, are subject to these adul.
terations. The only way to head
the manufacturers in their swindles
is to have general law, either com
peliing people to sell straight goods,
or else to label adultersted goods, SC
that the consumer can tell what be
is buying, and to impose penalty
upon all who sell spurious goods for
the genuine article.

nnpnn1Arn TIE GANG.

The Buffalo Courier, after perus,
ing the Dorsey revelations 10 the
Sun, has this to say I'VE rise from
the perusal Of this miserable nara
tive with the conviction that Garfield
b ID no moral right to prosecute
Dorsey that Arthur had no moral
right to prosecute him; that the Re-
publican party bad no moral right
to prosecute him. He was the hero
of shameful and vensl canvass, 10
which the leaders of the party bar
gained for the spoiIs of office, assess
ed the government employees, black
mailed monopolists, accepted the
booty of thieves, aud purchased the
vote of State. And the whole Or
gsnizstion approved of the work =
Dorsey should be restored to the pc
destal on which the speech-makeri
at the Delmonico dinner set him. -
He is the typical Republican politi'
clan of this generation, and if the
party is fit to be 10 power, he is GER
tainly fit to sit in its high places
1t is to his credit that be refused &
Cabinet office when others we're en-
4, gagged in a wild scramble for spoils
and that, although threatened will
disgrace and the punishment OF
felon while others were only threat
ened with the loss of patronage, b
took little share in the quarrel tina
eliminated in the murder of th'
President"
Is not this all trueR A stream
cannot rise higher than it's source
and a political party is no bette
than it's trusted agents and tools
The Republican party repudiate'
Dorsey after it had used him, an
now let the people repudiate the he
publican party.

CHOLERA.

Who does not shudder at the sim
pie statement of the fact that the
number of deaths from cholera ii
the city of Cairo increased from one
on Sunday to one hundred and forty
on Thursday Probably these fig
ures do not reveal the whole truth
a few days ago it was announced
that in case attempts to isolate the
houses in which cholera had appear
ed failed, the disease would be per-
mitted to run it's course in Cairo,
But already the disease is ronniug
its course, and the dreadful specta,
Gle of city Of $4,000 souls lying
at the mercy of a sweeping epidem,
ic is before the eyes of the world.
No wonder foreigners are tumbling
out of Egypt in hot haste; no won>
der Sowing faces are turned to-
wards England when the neglect of
sanitary precautions by her agents
in the Nile land is mentioned.
Cholera has found its way to Lon
don on an English trading vessel,
and great excitement exists on ac~
count of it. The authorities at
Washington are taking steps to en-
force quarantine regulations to pre-
vent its reaching the United States.
Deaths from cholera at Cairo, Egypt,
Oh Sunday were 4Sl between s a.

From railroad grove, Savin Rock,
near New Haven, Conn, cores
pondent of the New York World
writes that crowds of people visited
the grove last Saturday to witness
the unusual spectacle of a boa con-
strictor twenty three feet long and
about two feet in circumference lay
iug eggs under a tent there. The
big snake is owned by Frank J. Pill
ling, who is we'll known among show
men. It was brought from Calcutta,
and is worth $4,000. Mr.. Pilling
always supposed he owned a male
snake, and it was always billed as
the Jumbo python. Recently he
placed it in it's box for the night as
usual, covered with blankets. When
he came to look into the box in the
morning great was his astopishment
to see that during the night the
snake had laid about half bushel-
sixty or seventy-eggs about as big
as goose eggs, and that it was Still
laying. The eggs were white and
soft, having no shell. Some were
round and some Oblong. They could
be stretched like India rubber
They were laid in a neatly formed
pyramid, around which the snake
lay ciroled. She was quite cross,
and resented being handled by Mr..
Pilling or his men.

DEATH OF JUDGE CRAWFORD.

Judge Martin j. Crawford, Asso-

of Georgia, died at bis home in Col
umbus on last Sunday evening. He
left Atlanta some weeks ago and
went to bis home sick. He was
carried to Chipley but no improve
ment was perceptible, and be was re-
moved back to Columbus, where he
rapidly sank, victim of over work
and typhoid fever. He filled many
important stations 10 public life,
creditably and honorably. In his
death the State loses one of her pur>

MATCHES.

Under the old law all manufacture.
ere were obliged to put 100 sulphur
matches in each box, bat nov the
number of matches 60 the box is not
regulated. This has already result
ted in the putting up by at least one
concern of what are knoVn as ''short
count" IN atches; tina, is, boxes which
do not contain the usual 100. These
"short counts" are likely to play an
important part in the match business
10 the future. There is no legal
fraud 10 putting "short count" box' 8
OF matches on the market, because
they are sold by the box. Of course,
company which puts less than 100
ma ches in box can afford to un~
dersell the manufacturer who gives
full count box, and here is where
TIE trouble is likely to occur

Captain Webb proposes to go over
Niagara Falls 10 rubber ball four
and one half feet in diameter and
fourth of an inch thick He will
enter this ball, when it will be closed
alright. Air will then be forced
into the ball until it will bear any
outside pressure to which it may be
subjected. This ball will then be
carried into the river from the Can
ada side, cast off and allowed to fol
low the current over the great falls.
A point has been selected where a
ball, when cast off, follows the cur
rent over the centre of the HOr 'e
Shoe Falls Here the river is free
from rocks, and the water at the
crest of the fall is about twenty feet
deep. To determine whether or not
life would exist in ball while the
passage is being made, dog was
enclosed and sent over the falls, and
came out alive.

The glorifcation of the word Ne

lion, through the demand that ii

philosophers of the country have

elevate that word from the degrade

slavery times. We are Informed
that many colored preachers now
speak Of their Hocks not as colored
people, but as negroes; many OF the

PAUPERS.

It is authori,atively declared that
there are 100000 persons in New
York and Brooklyn who receive
charitable assistance, and that not a
few of these are entirely dependent
upon charity for the necessaries of
life. The larger part of this quarter
of million of semi paupers are
children, who, if left alone, will grow
up idlers aDd vagabonds, and their
offspring will be paupers and vsga-
bonds also. The present children
should, by all means, be sent out Of
the cities and, if possible, placed on
farms, where they will not only be-
come producers but will acquire
habits of industry, sobriety ADD
honesty, and grow up to be useful
and happy men and women.
