ACTING ASSISTANT DEPUTY SHERIFF.
Janesville (Wis.) Gazette.

Janesville (wis.) Gazette.
Shortly after General Grant became q
clerk in his fathe g store at Galena. in
1859, he was sent to Prairie du Chen to
look after a stock of goods which had
largely been sold on credit. They were
kept in the large and antiquated stone
building for SO many years occupied by
]. Famechon. 1t seems that Grants
customer at the Prairie had given q
fraudulent bill of sale for the goods to q
third party for the purpose of defrauding
the Grants; and when the general ar
rived in the town to investigate the mat
ter, he took counsel of the Hon. o. B.
Thomas, who was elected to congress
last fall, and after examining the records
in the town clerks Office, Thomas was
convinced that the sale Was a fraudulent
one, and had writ of replevin issued at
once to get possession of the goods.
The sheriff was not in town that day,
and the writ was given to his deputy,
"Boss" Brunson, grandson of the venera.
BILE Alfred Brunsen, D. D. "Boss was q
daring, burly young fellow by nature,
but his daring failed him in this case.
Mr.. Thomas, Grant and Brunson, armed
with the writ of replevin, walked down
to the building containing the goods and
found the door locked. The pretended
owner had heard that one of the Grants
was in town, and supposing that be
would attempt to seize the stock, be
planted himself inside, bolted the door
and armed himself with shot gun

Mince meat is usually an abominaoie
compound, made from the oftal OF aDst-
toirs, with the aid Of forty-rod WHISKY
and adulterated spices. Sulphurlc aclo'
lime and vinegar have been found IN
the mince meat of commerce. 1t costs
about one cent to flavor fifty pounds OF
the vile stuff gathered up in the slaugn-
ter houses.
Corn meal, old and musty sea biscuits,
cracker sweepings constitute large per-
centape of the pulverized blsck pepper

Thus the adulteration of drinks could be
continued, including the glycerine, starch,
corn, rice, cocculus indicus, maple shaw
ings and other ingredients that help to
make the modern ''lager beer" The
lard investigation in Chicago is OF too re-
cent origin to bear extensive quotation.
Lard is adulterated with tallow and fatty
offal, and it is stretched" with water, of
which, by a judicious process, it will alb
sorb fully 10 per cent.
Although there should not be much
difficulty in obtaining pure -four in this
rich country, -four is frequently y adulter-
ated with terra alba. There is alum in
bread, and turnips are worked into horse
radish, while cotton seed oil is sold as
pure Italian olive oil.
"Law!" he exclaimed, in conclusion,
"There's plenty of law, if such as there is
where poroperly enforced. But because
the law is not explicit on every little de-
tail, and chiefly because there is no off,
cial whose prescribed duty it is to en-
force the law, matters continue to 60 on
from bad to worse every year"

GROWING RASPBERRIES.

The best method for growing raspber.
ries and black kberries is without stalks
pinching off the tips of young canes q
soon as they get about two feet high. II
the grower waits until the canes are four
or five feet high and then cuts off foot
or more, he checks the growth and loses
some Of the best buds. An experienced
grower cuts back the canes of red rasp'
berries and shortens in the side branches
early in the spring, thus securing more
and better fruit than if the entire canee
were left on, and giving better oppor-
tunity for the pickers to move about
without breaking of the ripe berries.

August Hints for Farm ana Garden
American ARriculturfat

American Agriculturist
Cut oats before they are fully ripe;
they will shell out less, and the straw
will be more valuable for fodder. Buck.
wheat sown early this month will usual
ly escape the frost. Should it be injured
it will yet be valuable for plowinp under.
The New England method was to work
corn three times. The first hoeinp was
called wedding; the second half binding.
and the third was to hill the corn; after
this 1t was left for the ground to be over
run with late weeds. The better method
is to run the cuAtivator as long as horse
can pass between the rows. The cultiva
tor not only stirs the surface, but kills
the weeds. A plow should not now be
used, as it cuts the roots. Thin the root
crope. Sow strap-leaf turnips in drills
2S inches apart, using 15O pounds to the
acre OF superphosphate, or bone -four,
near the seed. Give meadows top
dressing of old manure or fire compost.
Harrow bare and mossy spots in pas
lures, and SOW seed on them. Give q
dressing of lime or plaster. Cut brush
with brush-hook; burn and save the
ashes. This is a harvest month for
weeds.
Market Garden.-Keepasparag clear
of weeds, using the hoe until the tops
prevent, then pull the large weeds that
appear. Hoe cabbages and eau iAowere
frequently. Liquid manure will Gauss
rapid growth. Cultivate between the
rows of carrots and other root crops up-
til the leaves prevent. Celery may still
be set and make fair-sized heads f)r
winter use. Let that planted earlier be
well cultivated and clear of weeds. Keep
sweet corn clear of weeds, and the soil
mellow by the use of cultivator. As
soon as the ears are gathered remove the
stalks and cure for fodder. Cnt off all
smutty ears and stalks and burn them.
Gather cucumbers for pickles daily. AL
ways cut them leaving the stem attached.
Two or three inches in length is large
enough. Promote the growth of egg
plants by the application of liquid ma
nure.
Flower-Garder Weeds are the plants
requiring most atte ntion in the flower
garden. If the borders are not cared for
weeds will soon give them an air of neg
lect. If the garden can not be kept in
good order, it is too large. Box is still
used for edging, and should be
clipped this month. In very hot dry
weather lawns should be mown less Oft
en-. The frequency of moving should be
determined by the rapidity Of growth.
Stakes should be given to dahlias, glad
ioluses, tuberoses, and such others as
need them, before, the plants become
too large. Prepare bed of fine, light
soil, in which seeds of perennials may be
sown as soon as they are ripe Dotted
plants, used for decorating the lawn, the
veranda, ETC.. will need frequent water
irg and partial shade.
Green. house window boxes and hang
ing baskets will require abundant water
ing, and, if possible, they should be
shaded during the day. Make all re-
pairs in the greenhouse. Provide sup
plies for winter-pots, sand, potting soil,
peat and moss.

Money Better Than Titles,

Yes, it is money that commands re-.
spect in this country, speaking generally
writes New York correspondent. We
really care scarcely anything for dis
tinction of birlh. The worship of for
eign aristocracy proetrates few of us.
Noblemen tourists command attention
from only an insignificant portion OF
New York. The hotels are full of titled
travellers, and they are not hunted
much.
"The sallow man leaning against. the
post" heard a hotel clerk say to q
guest, lis the Marquis de Monclar, who
has crossed the Atlantic to be the French
consul at Quebec. The man talking
with him is the Viscount de Thury, on q
trip round the world. He is Paris no
table. The Spaniard over yonder, in the
center of group of his countrymen, is
the Marquis de Castelfuerte. This chap
who just asked me to send a package to
his room was Lord Henry Paulet, of
England"
The recipient of this information was
not deeply impressed. He scacely fol-
lowed with his glance the directions in
dlcated, and did not deign a comment on
the accumulation of aristocracy.
"Do you see the red headed fellow sit
ting on the sofa?" said the clerk. "He
was bell boy in this hotel ten years
ago. He went west, pitched into cattle
ranching, and has already made his mil
lion."
Now the hearer was alert. His ears
seemed to quiver with the reception of
the words, and his eyeballs threatened
to quit their sockets to get closer view
of the selfenriched individual.
"Can't you manage to introduce me?"
he asked eagerly. An hour later saw
him still deeply absorbed in converse
ton with the read headed man, while he
doubtless couldn't have identified one of
the noblemen who had been pointed

with handkerchief tenderly tied about
his neck, and his head hung over to one
side.

loafers, whats the natter"

"Aw, my deah boy, it's quite the thing

anything more to say.-Merctant 1rav-

TRASH IN OUR MOUTHS.

Syrup Made of Glucose and Catsup Out of
Decayed Refuse-Fruit JelIies OUT of
Apple Cores and Parings-Butter u Cu,i-
Osity,
Chicago Herald.
This is free country" remarked a
well known chemist to the Heraod re-
porter; "too tree, so far as the prepara-
ton of articles of food is concerned. l
am sorry to say that many prominent
chemists lend their professional aid to
the most pernicious edulterations of
food and drink. Originally caused by
the demand for cheap goods, the bus
lness OF adultrating articles of food has
grown to such dimensions and backed
by SO much capital that it will take
legislation of the most stringent kind to
suppress that kind of trade"
Then the man of science launched
forth into an elaborate discourse on
substitutes" which are sold for the
genuine article. Maple syrup is artif-
cls!ly prodnced on an extensive scale by
taking one part of maple sugar for flavor
ing purposes, thirteen parts of glucose
and sufficient brown sugar to give sweet
ness. Molasses, too, is made from
glucose, favored with vanillin, and color
ed with caramel, with small quantity
of genuine melasses added for the pur-
.poso Of giving it the molasses odor.
However harmless glucose may be claim
ed to be, the fact remains that it is a
fraud designed to swindle peple through
the channels of trade. The apology
made for glucose, that it is harmless,
will not do for yanillin, an article that
has recently become very popular as
flavor for ice cream-is made from con-
iferin, and the latter ia turs is obtained
from the resin of several kinds of pine
trees. Bichromate of potassium and
sulphuric acid are the agents that con-
vert resin into vanilln. Fruit iellies
snch as are offered in grocery stores,
have mostly no other relation to fruit
than that they bear the name. Nearly
all Of them are made from apple parings,
while butyric ether, venanthic ether
and other deleterious substances give
the favor to be obtained.
Tomato catsup, manufactured by the
average modern dealer, is perhaps the
vilest compound in existence. The
bruised and rotten fruit which is unfit
for canning, and also the skins thrown
away by the Gamer, are gathered and
filled in barrels which are placed in the
bAA AOI lCIlACAt6liUus 4ucI0 l6 h EGlCk
in each barrel for the purpose of stir
ring up the contents-a process which is
continued for weeks, until the stage of
active fermentation is passed. Then the
rotten mess is boiled, and spices are ad-
ded. That gives the catsup of commerce
The erroneous spelling of "catchup''
would seem tn be justified.
OF butter, hardly anything need to be
said. The regulation, bald headed
creamery butter has become q luxury
sin 3 eleomargerine, suene, ,butterine and
lardine have become articles of com.
nerce. All these villjgcations of the
genuine artirle contain lard, suet tallow
and degenerated fats as main substances

sort to in order to foist their wares upon

BRINGING HIM BACK TO LIFE

A country editor lay in an unconscious
condition, and for some time it was
feared he was dead.
Cant you rouse him, doctor?" was
anxiously asked.
NO." the physician replied, ~ fear
that life is extinct"
Then the editors assistant bent over
and whispered in his ear:
"a gentleman wants to put an adver-

Immediately the unconscious mans
face showed signs of returning life and,
struggling to sitting posture, he said
feebly:

STORIES ABOUT GRANT.
Four Interesting Incidents of the Life of
the Departed General.
A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

| A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
The Chicago Herald Saturday issued
in the form of supplement fac simile
of the celebrated wall paper journal
printed in Vicksburg, July 4, 1868. When
the victorious soldiers of the Union
marched into the rebel fortress on that
memorable day the forms of the Vicks-
burg Citizen of July 2, which for some
reason had not been printed, were
found ready for the press. 1t occurred
to few printers in the Union ranks
that it would be bright idea for them
to put to press tie paper set up by rebel
typos. One paragraph on the editorial
page, which had been set up in antici-
patton of events which never occurred
read as follows:
On DIr.-That the great Ulysses-the
yankee generalissimo, surnamed Grant
has expressed his intention of dining in
Vicksburg on Saturday next, and cele-
brating the 4th of July by grand dinner
and so forth. When asked if he would
invite General 10. Johnston to join he
said, "No! for fear there will be a row at
the table," Ulysses must get into the city
before he dimes in it. The way to cook
rabbit is ''first catch rabbit" etc.
At the foot of last column on the page
a union compositor supplemented the
"On Dit" with the following Factions.
JULY t, 1868.
Two days bring about great changes.
The banner of the Union floats over
Vicksburg. General Grant has Caught

and he did bring hi dinner with him.
The Citizen lives to see it. For the last
time it appears on wall paper. No more
will it eulogize the luxury of mule meat
and fricassed kitten-urge southern war
riors to such diet never more. This is
the last wallpaper edition, end is, ex-
cepting this note, from the types as we
found them. 1t will be valued hereafter
as curiosity.
With the addition of this "Note" The
Citizen was put to press by the victorious
printer-soldiers. The Chicago Herald in
printing facsimile of the paper was
obliged to have it set up at the office of
knight & Leonard, a job printing estab-
lishment in Chicago. The original copy
was, OF course, first presented to the fore.

form was bent with age, whose eye was
dimmed with long years of service at the

glanced over the sheet placed before him
:han he startled his fellow-workmen bv
giving the regulation whoop of the Union
troops and began to execute q series of
war dances about the Office. At the con-
clusion of these unaccountable actions
the old man repaired to a case and sot nm

posted the types in their places the
tears cursed down his cheeks and tender
recollections crowded upon his memory

before had set up that take" amid the
huzzas of the victorious troops at Vicks-
burg were one and the same man.

NOT AFRAID OF BULLETS.
Indianapolis News.


Indianapolis News.
As the siege wore on at Vicksburk, ad.
ditional precautions were necessary in
the trenches to avoid sharpshooters, and
in the rife-pits the exposure of person
was almost certain to bring disablement
if not death. The "pits" were provided
with portfolios, if 80 they might be
termed. It go happened one morning
that the writer and Private Alexander
of Company I, 11th Indiana, were sta.
toned in one of these pits, the approach
to which, owing to slight rise, was un-
der cross-tire for several yards, and it
was customary to give warning of the
danger to the soldiers unfamiliar with
this particular exposure. One or the
other was therefore generally on the
watch for chance visitors, and "Stoop
down." which was often delivered with
bit of profanity attached, was COM
mon salution. The morning in question,
Alexander was the first to discover two
persons sauntering over the dangerous
ground, while little fickers of dirt here
and there showed that the watchfnl
sharpshooters were on the alert. With
out stopping for second look, and in
LILO onAiOIy lOiSCtiui Iuoy WcTo Objects,
even had he recognized it, he shouted:
'Stoop down; down, d-n you down.
and in his zeal he exposed himself and
narrowly escaped a shot, which singed
his cheek as it passed beyond him.
Neither of the officers needed his warn.
ing. Grant, accompanied by General
Hovoy, sauntered toward q Parrott-gun
battery, little distance to the right.
This battery commanded an advantap-
eous position, and mounting upon the
earth-works, Grant took long and
steady look at the enemy's lines, sweep
ing them from end to end with his glass.
General Hovey clambered up alongside
of him, their respective figures so con-
spicuous that they at once attracted the
enemy's fire. They stood here for sever.
al moments, until Grant, perceiving dan.
ger, suggested to General Hovey to step
down out Of harms way. Hovey, how.
ever, persistently begged the "old man
to protect himself, and when Grant re.
piled, "Why, Hovey, you are in as much
danger as myself" the latter answered
