LAS TO BULL BUTTER"
SUNNY DALE. Dec. 81, 1856.

SUNNY DALE, Dec, 81, 1856.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
In a recent number of the EAGLE the
| Hon. John Kelly attacts the oleomarga-
rine trade as being illegitimate business.
1t is written that charity thinketh no evil, d"
otherwise to me his article would have very
much the appearance of being dish of
political taffy held out to the dear people.
He says: "a depreciation of two cents
per pound on butter means a l'ss to the
| farmers of more than twenty-five millions
of dollars year Who loses this twenty
five millions of dollars? The poor men
and women who works hard every day for
living Who gets this twenty five mil
lions of dollars9 Kansas CITY and Chicago
mllionares
Is this business going to benefit our peo-
pie, or is this wealthy firm going to rob
our poor people of what they possess and
all to benefit thei eastern cities and their
nabobs?
That all sounds very well to the avari-
cieus farmer, and the more avaricious the
better it sounds, but how abont 1.-The poor
man and woman who works hard every
day for living" and have to buy every
mouthful Of their food including butter
Shall they refuse cheaper article because
offered by a Kansas Cily or Chicago mil
lionaire?" Or will they suffer any specia
hardship if the price of butter should de-
cline two cents per pound? cannot see
how the offering of an article for fifteen
cents. which would otherwise cost thirty,
is going to rob our poor people of what
they possess.
1t seems to me to be only ques
ton of the survival of the fittest If oleo-
margarine is palatable and wholesome ar
ticle of food and should be is cheap as 10
entirely crowd butter out of the market, it
might not be such an unmixed calamity
after all, for it would relieve farmers
wives of a vast amount of drudgery in the
dairy department, and. besides, they could
even buy the artificial butter for their own
tables cheaper than they could produce the
genuine article themselves. and thus save a
considerable sum of money which. allow
ing the saving to amount 10 SO per year
for each farm in the United States, would
aggregate $50. 600 GOO a year-a species of
robbery not very hard 10 endure. In
addition to this the price of fat
hogs and cattle would necessarily
be enhanced which would again compen-
safe for all loss to the butter interest If
oleomargerine is as good. it deserves TO
superscde butter, because cheaper If the
''oleo' is worthless. it cannot find purchas-
ers and farmers have nothing to fear from
its competition. so long as il is sold upon
its own merits as oleomargerine

now doubts that the inventors of those la.
Dor saving devices conferred great and last
ing benefits upon society. In like manner
Whoever discovers and introduces new
and cheaper food is benefactor of
his race, be he a man who works hard

''nabOb"
If the world had heretofore known only
of oleomargarine and the farmers had just
discovered the process of making butter,
and could place it on the market at good
profit at half the price of oleomargarine,
they would do SO at once, and consider
themselves engaged in a perfectly ''legiti-
mate business. 1t might even require the
vigilance of consumers to prevent them
from palming it of on the market as genu-
inc oleomargarine.
You see it makes all the difference in the
world whose OK is gored. G. K. AYREs.

The Carbonate Belle 10 the Front--six-
cen Feet of Orc.

Late night before last intelligence
reached Cheyenne of the discov
cry of a rich and extensive body
of ore in the Carbonate Belle, Silver
Crown. This mine is the property of A.
II. Swan, George F. Morgan, L. p.
Snow, ct. al. and has been vigorously
worked lately. The shaft is down 100
feet with a west DRIFT of rs feet. In this
drift the strike was made.
The new ore bed is reported to be l6
feet in width, and shows on the surface
from 500 to S62. 1t has been pierced for
a distance Of seven feet and holds its own
Specimens of the rock were shown the re-
porter which mining expert testimony
pronounced very valuable. The ore is
claimed by some to be teilurium, the most
valuable precious metal base in the world.
while others say it is of sulphuret forma-
ton. Tellurium occurs very rarely in the
ores of Wyoming. though it is often met
with in the Colorado ore beds and is
always rich in gold, silver and lead.
1t is the belief in the existence of this
valuable base in the mining regions of
Atlantic and South Pass in Fremont
county, which has lately induced the in
vestment of such heavy capital in the
mines OF those sections.

it gave security for It's appearance in the

was promptly on hand in the morning

PRIMITIVE OLYMPUS.
Life in an Ancient Town Which Has No
Progressed With the Rest of the World.

Life in an Ancient Town Which Has Not
Progressed With the Rest of the World.
In the village of Olympus much Of
the primitive old life is lett. The men
carry the thick hair garments which
their wives weave at home, they wear
their hair long and shaggy, and they
govern themselves by sort of parlia-
ment, which meets once a year in the
village church. We were present at
one Of these meetings, and were struck
by the Difference shown to the elders
and the attention which younger men
paid to the words which fell from their
mouths. At their feasts the same defer
ence to old age is manifest; the elders
sing first those idyls which are
only found on Karpathos, and
are of genuine archaic type.
Very few of them can write or read.
and any one that does so is honored at
once with the title of Diakos, or Dea-
con, and is a person of great impor-
tance at the assemblies, for he it is who
keeps the minutes. and can write down
pretty nearly what he pleases, sitting
cross-legged, with the inkstand on the
ground before him. By the stream
which flows down narrow valley from
Olympus to the sea great reeds grow
which are often used for the ceilings OF
their flat-roofed houses and for hedges.
This they call nartheka, a survival ofthe
old word for the reed by which Prone
theus brought down fire from heaven.
And one can easily imagine the origin
of this myth by watching the customs
of to-day. A peasant housewife OF
Olympus, who wishes to carry light
from one house to another, will put the
embers into one of these reeds to pre-
vent it being extinguished. fortnight
