It is not often that an old citizen is called upon to vindicate himself through the public press, especially as against whom it is presumed to be a public officer of the law.

 Ingratitude can be frequently for given when there are extenuating circumstances, but when from nurs- ing a human being into prosperity, and as viper it turns on every oc- casion, and without provocation to sting. When, under adversities. one man divides from his substance to sustain a needy and fallen brother, and when circumstances have changed the unfortunate to the high road of prosperity; when former friendships are forgot, and when even honor in partizan zeal is sacri- feed, and when not only ingratitude but persecution takes the place of all noble sentiments and impels its slave into the most base and igno- minious course of abuse and when such a man seeks to foist himself on the public confidence, it is time that the people should be warned of the villainies and called to avoid the murky waters of this cutie fish. Mower," when left alone, is an honest word; but when added to "y," is changed at once from the best of meanings to the worst of meanings. Not content with the financial gain of early association, he now seeks the degradation of his former benefactor, and this all through ring motives and political slavery. It has even come to such a pass that all memory of any friend ly act of assistance, and even of all honesty, is matter of impossibility to this ring of public pilferous and ungrateful scoundrels. This man is now a public officer, beholden on the people for his subsistence, and he even has the audacity now to pre- sen: his influential name to the good people of this community for re- election. Honesty we expect to find, and shall find, in some other man, for the coming office.

 Let the people rally.

Under this caption the Territorial Enterprise has a timely article. IL points to the fact that the assaults of New York journals upon the Silver bill are telegraphed to this coast as matters of news, while it is well known that the articles in question are written to order of the gold and banking ring. If the New York dailies, for example, fairly represented the public opinion of the empire city, there might be some excuse for the Eastern agent of the Associated Press acting in this way; but the reverse is nOtOriously the case. The object is very plain, how ever. It is intended to create an i'm pression throughout the country dur ing the recess that the Silver Jjll 5sili be defeated on the resembling Of Congress next month. This is done n the interest of foreign bOndnoluels and Eastern usurers, who are lavish in their expenditure to destroy the much needed fiscal relief which the Silver bill will undoubtedly accomplish. They are endeavoring 10 mold public opinion by means of the telegraph. The public should be warned of this attempt. Let them pay no attention whatever to telegraDhic attacks upon the Silver bill. The country Is in fa- vor of remonetizing silver, and public interest must not slacken until the bill has become law.

While It'll certain thatneedless alarm


is frequently excited by exaggerated
statements regarding food aduIteratiOn,
there can be no doubt that'many Of the
articles Of food met with on our tables
often contain foreign ingredients, which
are introduced either for the purpose of
lessening their cost or improving their


taste and appearance.


FlOUris subjected to adulteratiOnWith


other and inferior meals, such as rice,
beans, rye, potatoes, and Indian corn,


the addition of which eheapens the price
and in some cases bestOws a good color
upon a damaged OR inferior grade, or
causes it to take up an abnormIIly large


quantity of water. The addition Os for
eign meals to flour is practiced, hOwev-
er, almost exclusively in Europe, as


most Of the substances of this class
used, have in this cOUntrya a greaterValue
than pure wheaton flour. AmOre prob
able illustration with us is the use Of
alum and mineral substances; the form
er is occasionally employed to impart
white color to -four, the latter, which
include sulphate of lime, kaOlin, chalk,
and bone dust, being used to produce
increased weight. 1t has quite recently
come to light that a flour containing
ten per centum Of a mixture of chalk,
plaster Of Paris, and barytes has for
some time formed a steady article Of eX-
port from Holland into other European
countries. The presence of such sub
stances as these can be detected byplac-
ing the flour in along tube nearly filed
with chlOrofOrm, shaking the mixture
and allowing it to stand, when the pure
-four will rise to the top of the liquid,
the heavier mineral ladulterants sinking
to the bottom.


Bread naturally contains the foreign
ingredients added to the flour from
which it is made; but in addition to
these, other substances are sometimes
used in its preparation. Alum is en-
plOyed to prevent the action Of the dias-
tase upon the starch, and to prevent
the bread from becoming sour and
mOuldy; and although this salt undoubt-
edIy tends to accomplish these. results
and imparts fine white appearance to
the bread, its use is not justifable.-
When taken into the stomach it is LA
ble to occasion acidity and dyspepsia;
furthermore, it prevents the sOludOnof
a large proportion Of the gluten Of the
bread, thereby causing a decrease in its
nutritious value. Afar more reprehen-
sible adulteratiOn consists in the addi-
ton Of sulphate Of copper, which has
the same effect on the color Of the bread
and on the diastase. Although this salt
is but seldom employed, and then in
very small amounts, its use is to be con-
demned in the strongest terms, as it
acts as a virulent poison, and its effects
are cumulative. A simple and delicate
test for detecting the presence Of cop
per is to moisten the suspected bread
with a few drops of solution of ferrocy-
anide Of potassium, which will cause a
piukish color to become apparent if the
metal be present-Ns10 York EUepiHg
