Trtckery In Canned Fruits.

san rlanciStO Cali, July LIST.
We have had many complaints to make
OF the adulteration of our California wines
by Eastern dealers to increase the profits
on their sales, which is nothing less than a
traud on purchasers. We did not
suppose, however, that charge would
come to any of our shippers for dealing
in false labels To deceive the public
We have it on the authority OF certain
proceedings had before the State Horti-
cultural Society that certain fruit Gamers
of this State have been detected In
sending unripe and inferior fruit to the
East under spurious labela. One
member of the society, who is large
fruit'grower, said "Canners are in the
habit OF calling tor unripe and Improper
fruit which they intended to sell as the
best" He chad sold 20 tous, by order
of unripe Hungarian pruues which his
hogs would not eat"

There is about to be another effort to
raise the transportation price Of Chicago
dressed beef from Chicago to Philsdel.
phia, but one of the largest dealers in
Philadelphia says that he does not doubt
the ability Of dealers to induce BONE rail-
road company to grant transportation
rates that will still leave the dealers
profit on the sale of dressed
beef. He adds that the bust
ness has grown enormously since
Its beginning nine years ago, and that
arrangements are making for the estab-
lishment Of depots for the sale OF this
beef in Wilmington, Reading and other
oities near Philadelphia. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that nothing will happen Ia
increase the price Of the Chicago beet,
for hitherto 1t has been difficult TO gst
cheap and good beef in cities as large
even as Wilmington snd almost impossi-
BILE in the country.

Montreal and says that many of them

reason OF iniirmiiy to support themselves.
lie says that most of this class are pau
pers who have been assisted in procuring
passage and are ticketed to points in the
western part OF the United States.
The spe,ial agent is Informed that 2S
persons, who had left Ireland only 90
days before, were found helpless aud
starving in the streets at Buffalo, New
York, and we're committed to the Erie
county almshonss on the 18th of June.
All OF these people came into the United

The Canadian steamers engaged in i'm.
porting cattle to Great Britain make very
low rates for this class of immigrants
from Ireland to Canada. lie says he il

ohio's Tariff Plank and 1854.


For some wesks past the New York
World has carried at tho head Of its
editorial page part OF the Ohio
Democratic IlatIorm, including the
tariff plank, 81 the proper de-
olaration Of Democratic prin.
oiples for 1884. We are not inclined to
dsnounce the Ohio tariff plank as bitterly
"a some revenue REFORM papers hav.
denounced it., though the fact that there
ia considerable difference of opinion AZ to
tho value OF the plank, sssms to prove
that 1t is not the unsquivocsl deelara
tion of principle that its friends would
have US believe it. "A tariff for revenue
3" limited to ths necessities OF the Govern
inert economically administered, and
" 30 adjusted in its application ~ to pre-
Event unequal burdens, encourage pro-
"duotive interests at home and Afford
'just compensation TO labor, but not to
"creats or foster monopolies," in its
most obvious construction apparently
means the raising OF the entire Federal
revenue, if possible, by means OF tariff,
for nothing ia said OF internal revenue,
and the needs of the Government are
certainly limited only by whatever sum
ID necessary 10 meet all governmental
charges. II this view is cor
rect, the Ohio platform con.
tsmplat-sa larger revenue from customs
than We now derive. There il great
difference of opinion as to how reduo,
in certsin tariff charges would Affect the
revenue, some contending that a tariff
that shall protect any considerable
number OF industries eau not yield an
increase revenue, while others insist
that a thorough revision Of the tariff
could effsct an equalization of burd ems
aud an increase Of revenue, without
leaving home industries wholly unpro.
tscted, view that puts the Ohio plank
in 3 much better light.

Illinois' State Eutomologst reports that
vast numbers of the Hessian lily are in a
dormant state so low down In the wheat
stalk that they will be left in the stubble
when the wheat is cut, and he therefore
advises either rude awakening of their

Near Atlantic city.
ATLANTIC CITY, July 9.-Clarissa
Bounds, beautiful girl of 10 years, who
died last night, confessed to Mayor Max
well OF this city, shortly before her death
an awful story OF crime and debauchery
She said that when white man named
John Thomas and Joseph Kelsy, negro,
left for Coaleayton Mills, situated west Of
Atlantic City, some time since, she was
induced to follow them. She Joined their
camp in the pine woods and caroused
with these two men for several DAYS. One
night she was awakened from sleep at the
side of a sinonlderng coal pit to find her.
sell in flames.
She did not say that the men poured
coal oil on her and set her on fire. bnt
many here believe 30. The unfortunat.
girl, however, was burned from head to
feet, and portions of her flesh cling To
oindera and pine tags. The men told no
one OF hhr shocking condition. but kapt
the half roasted gih in hole IN tile
ground, without shelter or dressing for
her burns for day and two nights.
Conrad GRANTEE, overseer OF the door for
that township, fually moved her, after
many hours of unnecessary delay in do
ing 40, hut the authorities of the poor
honss at Smiths Landing refused to re-
oeivs her.
She now had been three days without
attention, many PORTIONS of her flesh
being raw and bleeding. Modification
sat in, hut abe was kept another night in
the rooil.ss excavation, where a hut
called "Niggers' Hole" had stood.
Finally she WAS brought here on a pile
of straw and died. Her flesh had become
putrescent sometime before death ensued.
notwithstanding their brutality the
dying girl would not accuse her com.
panions to the Mayor.

CURRENT LITER.iTURE.

Tho July number OF the MAGAZINE on ART
has an unusual amount OF valuable lnforma-
ton, and in reading this magazine one can
not fail to get ideas and flood for thought"
always useful, which the pictures serve to
Impress upon the memory. The first article,
"a Sculptor Of Heroes Mark Autokolsky," il
the history Of that Russian artist, apparently
written by one Of his own countrymen.
Isaac Payloysky. 1t i'd OF deep interest. All
the reproductions OF his works are also good.
''Kabyle Jewellery" Id illustrated with six
excellent engravings and is described in a
remarkably interesting manner. In "stories
in Terra Gotta" tho Illustrations are study
and it is written i'll Cosmo Monkhouse's best
style. There ID full account OF the Sade
schools OF art. The studies in chalk will
probably be appreciated by artists though
TO the ordinary eye they have little grace or
comcliness. such an article az "a French
Cathedral City" is always valuable and in
this one tho illustrations are fine. None of
the engrayings, full page or otherwise, are
particularly well executed, though the sub
jects arc all excellent, and both thought and
research arc displayed in the articles.
