Curious Application at the Castle G
dem Matrimonial Bureau.


From the New York Wordl
In addition to furnishing employment to
immigrants the officials at Castle Garden are
frequently called upon to supply heipmeets
to adopted citizens who have prospered since
coming to the United States. These applica-
tions have become SO numerous that sort of
a matrimonial bureau has been established at
the garden. Many romantic incidents have
been told in connection with this work, but
the most curious application of all was one
recently received by Mrs. Eislinger, matron
at the garden. 1t is one of the first commu-
nications received from a woman on the sub
ject of mstrimony, and more of an oddity
from the fact that unusual Inducements are
held out to would-be Benedicts.
A dozen years ago Mrs. L. Robinson, a
buxom widow aged thirty three years, ar
rived at Castle Garden from England. Her
husband, who had been poor country Gu
rate, had just died, leaving her with several
children and little or no property. She saw
hard struggle before her in her old home,
and getting together what money she could
came to America. Arriving in this city she
was assisted in getting work and remained
in New York for some months. At length
farmer in western State wrote to the gar
den for housekeeper, his wife had re-
Gently died. Mrs. Robinson corresponded
with the widower, and he sent her money to
come out and take charge of his household.
The farmer was not only satisfied with her
domestic qualifications, but wanted her to
become mother to his children. Matters
| were somewhat complicated by the old mans

CHEERFUL

CHEERFUL.
Not long ago an affecting story was pub
lished concerning family who had chem
ist for one of its members, and this chemist
turned his analytical attention to the adul-
teration of food. He was a very enthusiastic
Investigator, and when he sat down at the
family table to eat was in the habit of calling
attention to the aduiteration of the food be-
fore him. He did this until he had under
mined the confidence of the whole family in
their victuals and they felt that the chemist
of whose learning they had been so proud
was a curse to them. Recent revelations
show some of the facts which enabled this
chemist to destroy the confidence of his fam
lily.
DR.. Cyrus Edison has collected and pub
lished great deal of information about
''poisons in food and drink" We give few
of his facts. Bread is whitened with alum,
and musty flour has been sweetened and pre-
bakers substitute for eggs what is known as
'tegg powder" " and really is chrome yellow.
Even oleomargarine has been adulterated by
the addition of gelatine to enable it to alb
sorb more water. Malt liquors are contami-
mated by being drawn through long copper
and lead conduits; and these beverages are
often improperly made, and are adulterated
with various noxious substances.
Damaged coffee beans are treated with
chromate of lead, Prussian blue, soapstone,
burnt umber and variety of other chenic-
ais, so as to restore their original appearance.
Pigments containing arsenic have been SO
used that some coffee analysed in New York
was found to contain one-fiftieth of grain
of copper arsenite in the quantity of coffee
necessary to make a cup of the beverage.
The Chinese are ingenious in adulterating
tea and their processes are industriously in
timated. The adulterants use the ''lie tea,''
foreign leaves and substances used for color
ing and ''faoing." Black tea is painted"
with plumbago or black lead and has very
glossy, smooth appearance. Green teas are
nearly all colorsd, the usual pigments andbeing
Prussian blue, turmerie and soapstone. The
foreign leaves most frequently used for tea
are those of the willow.
Mustard is reduced by adding terra alba
and wheat flour, and then coloring with tur-
meric, or poisonous coal tar color called
Marsh's yellow. Vermicelli has been colored
with chromate of lead, instead of eggs or SAT-
from. In his official capacity as a member
of the New York board of health DIR. Edison
has seized candy coIored with chrome dead
chromates), Brunswick green (mixture of
chrome yellow and Prussian blue), red lead,
Paris green, arsenical aniline, burnt umber,
Venetian red (earths), virmillion (bisulphuret
of mercury, and Prussian blue (ferro-cyanide
of irony.
And SO forth and SO on. ''In short" says
DR.. Edison, ''every beverage we drink and
| nearly every article of food we eat is liable
| to be made a source of danger to US by the
| ignorant and dishonest" It would therefore
| seem that there is nothing for US to do but
| to continue to live long we can at "a
poor dying rate"

son falling in love with the housekeeper. He
had serious objections to Mrs. Robinson's be-
coming his step-mother and to prevent this
married her himself. They went to Califor-
| mia and prospered, but the curates wife is
now for the second time widow.
Matron Eislinger recently received letter
from her, asking her assistance to find a
third husband. The envelope was endorsed
as follows: "Suppose Mrs. Eisiinger has re-
moved, please deliver this to her successor
This letter is not essentially private; it is
Castle Garden business"
Mrs. Robinson writes that she has four Or
chards and three vineyards and raises apples,
peaches, plums, aprieots, cherries, Japan
persimmons, figs, straw berries, currants,
gooseberries and blackberries. Her farm of
three hundred and fifty acres is rich land,
and there are three creeks running through
one hundred and sixty acres of it that can
be used for irrigating purposes, besides six
ice-cold springs and two carp ponds.
"My ranch is on the St. Gila Mountain,
fifteen miles from the railroad, and I am
away from society,"" the widow wrote. She
further explains her reasons for making an
other matrimonial venture in this way. 81

"I like Morgan G. Bulkeley," said a prom
inent New Haven Repu bliean yesterday, "be-

That is very proper protest of the New
London Day against the rule to be suggested
to the Republican State convention by the
State committee which provides that the
delegates from any town may fill vacancy
in the delegation, and, in case any town is
without delegates in the convention, empow-
ers the member of the State committee from
the district in which such town is located to
appoint a full delegation. The second pro-
| vision, the Day points out, virtually pro-
poses to put the control of State convex
| ton, in case of close contest over any
nomination, in the hands of members of the
| State Central committee. 1t very often hap
pens that while the member of the State
committee from certain district is active in

When Animals Roar

IFrom the Chambers Journal
There is an almost universal belief that the
lion roars when he is hungry, and in q wild
state when in search of prey, but the writer
ventures to say that, like the bears hug and
other almost proverbial expressions of the
kind, the idea is altogether erroneous. Prob
ably certain verses in the bible, more especi-
allv in the psalms, such as the 'fThe lions
roaring after their prey" &C., and passages
of similar nature have given rise to this
impression. But, let it be asked, would so
cunning an animal as the lion, when hungry
and in search of his dinner, betray his ap-
proach and put every living creature within
miles of the spot thoroughly on the qui
vive, by making the forest echo again with
his roaring! Assuredly not; for more cer-
tain method of soaring his prey he could
not possibly adopt. All quadrupeds, more
especially the deer tribe, well know and
dread the voice of their natural enemy. Ev-
en- domestic animals instinctively recognize
and show fear on hearing the cry of a wild
beast. In India the sportsman when out in
camp during the hot weather months often
| finds himself far away from towns and vii
lagos, in some wild spot in the depths OF
| the Jungle Here the stiffness of the night
| Is constantly DFOken ny Iuc cdilS VI various
creatures inhabiting the neighboring forest
the deep, solemn hoot of the horned owl,
the sharp call of the spotted deer, or the
louder bell of the sambur. But these fam
iliar sounds attract no notice from the DOM
estic animals included in the camp circle.
| But should panther on the opposite bill
call his mate, or a prowling tiger passing
along the river bank mutter his complaining
night moan, they one and all immediately
show by their demeanor that they recognize
the cry of beast of prey. The old ele-
phant chained up beneath the tamarino tree
stays for a moment swaying his great body
backward and forward, and listens attentive
ly. His neighbor, gray Arab horse, with

Ex-senator Wallace of Pennsylvania is one

He is man who has some opinions, even in
thk midst of political contest. He says be
voted for the submission of a prohibitory
amendment to the people, but should vote
against the amendment himself, being in
favor of license law. He believes in arbi-
tration of difficulties; was counsel for the
coal operators in the prosecution of riotous
strikers and established, as he says, the right
of every man to work without su bjection to
the control and dictation of another. On
this point, he says: The case was hotly con-
tested, and the issue I made was whether
one man should have the right to work with
out the control of another. The late Senator
Carpenter of Wisconsin, Linn Bartholomew,
F. w. Hughes and other eminent counsel
were for the defendants. The men who had
been guilty of violence in the riot were con-
victed. My effort was to demonstrate the
power of law, and asked the court not to
punish the defendants severely, but plainly
define to them their rights and duties in
imposing his sentence. The result of the
conviction is found in the fact that al
though we have had many strikes since, none
of them have been with violence. 1 tried to

A Terrible Case Of ScrofuIa
Cured by
Hoods, SarsapariIIa

60 In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around nay neck and throat,
continually exuding offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three sphysicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley druggist, of Lockport, was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less.' L do not know what it may
have done for others, but ! do know that in
my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it, CHARLES A. ROB
