April 17,1880. 7> the Editor qf the New* and Courier : Ca^you and your readers endure the In fliction of a few more ideas upon the sub ject of Oleomargariua 7 Don't protest ; for be the dote ^aUiblo ^.^j^n^ih?, ? it ia an esUblisbed fact ffcat iii aU tho science of dietetics thero ie nb moto eu ergeticcommercial product than Oleomar garine. During the past winter, butter dealers in tho District of Columbia. Washington City and elsewhere hare been arrested for selling real butter upon tho allegation that it was oleomargarine. Thia induced the introduction jt a bill into Congress to appoint a commission of five scientific men to examine and test, wherever found and by every possible scientific appliance, ail substances known to be, or supposed to bo used in the production of any pocal ble compound that has been or may be - -hereafter imposed upon the public con sumers as a substitute for natura? butter, and so fares possible recommend to Con gress what legislation is necessary to pro? tcct the honest dealer and the innocent consumer. A ed for this parp?se four thousand dolla.* is asked to oe appropri ated. A snug little sporting fund for a scientific tasting committee to spend in J. their jaunts about t'je country looking f ? for oicomargarino. ,nd I venture to ????bggest, that if they would only take their /aSfl??neJ\firBt through the South and taste 7 ft vast deal of the stuff bartered for by our country merchants, they would without hesitation advise our people to buy oleo margarine-'fevery ?imo." Weif, this bill was referred to the com miUee.on'agriculture, and by itt? ? sub ?omniitt?er of which I am a member. Onr first step waa to go to headquarters and investigate the manufacturo of tho article ; so we wont to New York, and thero w? found a concern in which more than half ? million dollars had been inves ted, turning out moro than.fifty thousand pounds of oleomargarine d?$ly, manufac tured after tho identic.! proce? as that previously reported from Baltimore, but of course upon a tenfold larg?r:*eale. . -Thero are something more than two tb ousAudbeeves killed daily at tho slaugh ter houses in New York city, and they average nenrly one hundred pounds of fat each, beside the kidney fat which can not be used in this manufactory, because, ss vet,'it is impossible to divest it of ita tallowy taste. Sut all the remaining lat is daily eold, and delivered twice a day to this "Commercial Manufacturing Com pany," (the style of tho company making oleomargarine,) who pay throe cents per pound more for the fat than the same article brought in market anterior to the establishment ot this manufactory.. At that timo it brought three and a ' half dents per pound. now it brings six and a half. About thirty-five per cent of this fat is oleomargarine, forty-five per cent, tallow,- ten per cent, st?arine, and tho balance' waste. Of conree a chemical analysis would sho w a great many other remaining ingredients; such aapatmatin, arachin, captuHn, ?Vc,, tko., that nobody understands, but a chemist. I simply f;ivo tho proportion of oleomargarine, tal ow, stearin o and wast?, whian together make up that compound known as beei fat. Now, if tho cattle growers of the North west and Texas only know that this man ufactory was adding at least three .dollars to the value of every average beef killed in New York, and that the butchers there were growing rich a'- the rate of six thou sand dollars per day, I imagine they 'would begiu.to look into this matter. This entire amount-of oleomargarine Is daily deposited with that well known and immense boneo of H. K. Thurber & Co., who are the sole agents of the Com mercial Manufacturing Company, and who assured me they sold it as fast as il . vas now manufactured for home consump ti'on." This huu&e once did an immens? trade in butter, but to-day they don't en courage consignments of butter, prefer ring to handlo the oleomargarine, whict is sold and consumed at home us rapidlj ss V, can be made. Bi'.oro than a dozen years ago an emi neut F-v:nch chemist, M. Mego, askec himself tbs question, Where does tho fa como from toot is found, ia, milk whicl makes butter? Ho suspected that it wai absorbed from the animal tissues, end be .can a scries of experiments to teat it. Hi treated some pieces bf clean beef sue with carbonate of potash and pepstai from the stomach ora sheep, and fount that the fat was in this way easily sepa rated from the cellular tissues. This fa was drawn off, aud cooled and found t< barden or congeal. It waa then subjec ted to hydraulic pressure, by whicl means st?arine and tasteless oil was ob >ined. Ten pounds of thia bil Was mixei with four pints cf milk and three pinta o water and churned, i The result waa ai unusual quantity of a substance that ii tnstQ and consistency : resembled buttei When fibed from its water it waa mun to .Mep an indefinite tims. It was cater found palatnblo. and by continued ox p?riment was found to be a perfecxi wholesome article of diet. Mego at one brought thia product ter tho attention c the public by patenting his process of mau uiactttnng; money was subscribed, cono pa.;tta wero formed, and by 1874 seve; manufactories were established in Franc? emnloying aver four hundred hands. Th F^mxhwovernmont to day recognize i . ns a ?cgiUm?Uj aitlole G? vO??u?erc6, an the French chemists pronounce it as mot wholesome than the unsavory and rand butter?? freely bought and sold arnon the common people of that county These facts I copy from the Enrfyclqp< dia Britannica, which is, of course, .etat dard authority. Io 1878 Mr. Jas. Wilson, of New Yorl purchased the patent for the manufactui of oleomargarine in tho United Sta** .ind hat since that timo established tin . teen factories tfaxjughpui the Union; tl largest being IfyNjiw/York, where the employ two bnndred nanda in reli?is, tl work beginning five minutes after 1 o'clock Monday morning and not etoj ping for a moment until five minutes b fore 12 Saturday night. All the fat th company can buy is converted into ta low, st?arine and oil, and if they cann? durin?;the tfefcfc manufacturo alt tho c Into oleomargarine, the balance is barre led and shipped to Liverpool, where it churned into oleomargarine. The st? rino is shipped in hogsheads to ali par of the world, and used chiefly hy c.jnd and confectionery manu faut ure ra. Ti tallow, of cou ?e. ia sold and tho was goes into tho offal of the city. The president bf tho board of health New York City bas informed the coi mitteo that he bas frequently exnmini the material fcud tho product of thin ma ufactory, and ho considers oleomarg rinb palatable and wholesome, and most valuable article of food." I append, tbo- written statements porno bf tho most eminent chemists in tl United States condarnin* o??ornargftrit Prof. Hcsry Merton, of ??Mr? New Jersey, ?ays : "I am ablo to say wi confidence tbat.it contains nothing win ever which ls injurious as an article, diet, but on tho contrary is essential Mentical willi tho best frosh butter." Prof. 8. W. ?ohmon, of Yale Colloj write*: "Mado according to the specifi cs ti o os of Mogo it cao not fail to yield a product that is entirely attractive and wholesome a? food, ana one that ia for all ordinary culinary and nutritive par pos?s the full equivalent of good butter made from cream. , * * * It bas the awae spjpear&uco ander the microscope, and in chemical composition ?f?ffm ?rom butterhot in tbo nature, but only Sn tho proportions of its compo nents." Professor 8. C. Caldwell, of Cornell University, New York, writes : "When made after the liege patent oleomarga rine when need in reasonable quantity ia a perfectly wholesome article of food. * * ? # * It cannot com pete with fine butter, buc, will prove a public benefit in driving poor batter out of tho market." Professor H. A. Mott, Jr., analytical and consulting chemist of tho Commer cial Manufacturing Company, writes: "I am clearly of the opinion that the pro duct called oleomargarine butter Ss essen-, tinily i?curical with butter made from cream. * * * * * * It is destined to supplant the iuferior grades of butter, and be placed side by side with the best product of the cream ery." I have many moro testimonials before me from men of eminence in Northern colleges wbo have witnessed the manufac turo and analyzed the product, who testi fy eimilarly to the above concerning oleo margarine. Bat why cito any more. I have "proved the pudding by chewing the bag," and confess I am amazed at the magnitude of this enterprise. It ia ah established industry, and it would bo aa easy to stop tue trafic in any other arti* cle of commerce as to prevent tho manu facture of oleomargarine. A half mil lion of pounds are produced, sold, bought and eaten in the United States every day. ? Such a fact speaks for itself The produc? commission merchants of New York, and j the dairymen in their leagues all over I the North are combating it, and denoun cing it as the product of dead horses, and diseased beeves, ?kc., ?tc.,'.all of which is ! as idle ea darting straws against the wind. There are to-day eight millions of dollars investid in tho manufacture of .oleomar garine in the United States, and this in vestment belongs to men of as mach posh and energy as can be found in Yankeo land, ano it pays them handsome divi uen?. ' l'hoir product is s?lu ?u tWcD?y cents per pound, and can neithor be dis tinguished by the palatr nor the olfacto ries from creamery butter that commands ninety cents per pound. How legislation is to remedy the imaginary evil ia beyond my ken. I might write you much more of how I have heard friends denounce this pro duct who ?.over saw it, bat eat and ate it by another name ; how I have seen men en joy, as they, thought, the delicious batter while I knew they wera eating oleomar eurine, and above all, I might write you ow I was impressed during my recent visit to Gotham by the endless wealth of that mammoth city, of their : utter ignorance of our condition, of the almost absoluto destitution of principle- in the fslitica of thoso people, and how little the Northern capitalist (itt my judgment) contributes to the maintenance if the general Government. But I must for bear, for I have already, I feat-, bored yon. Very respectfully, D. WYATT AIKEN. Sleeping a Life Away? Nathan. G.

Six years ago he received a sunstroke, and ever since he has com plained of dizziness.

Hts oleep appeared to be .natural, and his breath ing was not labored as in certain diir-iasea. of the brain.

What ia a little singular in his case, there was at no time any symptom, of fever or inflammation or d2iiriumF"nor of any material increase of the temperature of the body which would indicate nuy deep-seated disease ; nor any paralysis or disturbance of vision. Attbe^end of tba ^twenty-three days he awoke and became communicative. He was not suffering from any pains, but was Weak.

KALLOl'U't WLSXQ. F arti culara at tha? Morder of Charlea JO? Totmg. Editor of the tan Francia*? Chronicle. SAN FEANCISOO. April 28. Just before 8 o'clock lut evening Chirles De Young entered tho businesi office of tho Chronicle, on the ground floor, corner of Keprnoy and Bush streets, and stood talkie/' to some gentlemen) leaning against s>.e counter. Directly the door opened, J. M. Kalloch entered, and drawing a pistol, without, aa far as could be learned, spf iking a word, began firing at De Young. The latter turned and ran through the gate of tho counter to a desk inside, Kalloch firing at bim aa he ran. On reaching the desk, De Youog turned to face his opponent, with a pistol ia hie band, when Kalloch, lean ing 07cr tho counter, fired again, the ball striking De 'Young in the month. Kal loch then started for tho door. De Youog raised his pistol as if to fire, bat apparently hi- strength failed him, for th? j/stol waa not discharged. Staking backward, he fell on the floor. Bystand ers ran to his assistance, but the ball had jvideutly pierced his brain, and in a few momenta ne expired. Aa Kalloch ran out of the door, he waa seized by a citi zen end at the sarre moment an officer carno un, took bim into custody and con ducted aim to tho city prison,"where ba was locked up. Thc newe flew through the city like wind. In a few moments tho street io the vicinity of the Chronicle office was crowded with people, eager to learn the particulars. Policemen were at once stationed at the doors of the office to keep ont the inquisitive crowd, and only personal friends and reporters were admitted. In-the rear office M. H. De Young, brother of the deceased, reclined on a lounge, surrounded by friends, evi dently overcome ' by tho tragedy, but with dry eyes and cairn. He waa not fireeent at tho timo of the shooting, hav ng left home after dinner a few minutes later than Charles. The deceased lay on his back on the floor, Ids taco and breast dabbled in blood, ?yes closed and face bearing tho calm expression noticeable Id the caso of those dying from shot wounds. Only one wound vraa found on his person, although at least four chota were fired by Kalloch-two having jplerced the glass door and partition ortho office,,and the third lodged in the window casing. Young Kalloch on being arrested was, as tho arresting officer rern?rk?d: 'The coolest man I ever saw." He still car ried the smoking pistol in his band, which he surrendered to the officer. On his way lo tho station-house bo observed strict reticence, and on being' shown to his cell positively refused to haVe any in* tercourso whatever'with representatives of tho press. In the absence of any . ex planations from tho assassin of the cause, the act is generally understood to be at tributable td the pamphlet which has re cently been circulated about the' city at tacking Mayor Kalloch, father of De Young's slayer. 'During a recent .visit East it is believed the deceased devoted a great deal of attention to gathering up matters regarding tho past life of Mayor Kalloch for tho prc gamed purposo either of using it.at tue expected trial of tho deceased on tho charge of shooting: Kal loch last August, or making it subserve journalistic purposes. The pamphlet above referred to was a document of some Bixty pages, and recounted tho details Cf the Kalloch scandal in Boston, and other matters of a scandalous nature. The pamphlet was anonymous, but young Kalloch evidently considered that tho deceased waa responsible for its publicity, and acted accordingly. ANOTHER STATEMENT, A San Francisco special says tho kilt ing of Charles De Young by J. M. Kal loch in tho Chronicle offico last night has Ereduced a sensation which has rarely cen equalled. . Tho young man'' bad been on a debauch for several daya past, drinking very heavily, and had made fire ?uent threats of his intention Co "fix, tho >o Youngs," but no attention, waa paid bim, as -ft waa simply regarded os tho vaporings of a drunken man. His boast ing was regarded with , more indifference from the fact that since the shooting of his father last August ho has>boasted from time to time that De Young would feel his vengeance.. De Young, who heard of this, did not pay the slightest attention.to.the reports,.and, as ne al ways went armed,, possesses undoubted courage and. waa usually quick in his movei4*nU>, bis friends wera, not at ail alarmed .'br his safety. One bf the im mediate i tuses of thc tragedy that t?tarr. led and shocked the city last night is be lieved to he the recent appearance in this city of a pamphlet entitled ' "Tho Only Full Report of tho Trial of J. S. Kalloch on the Charge of Adultery." The pam phlet contained a portrait of Kalloch and tho woman with .whom be was said to b a intimate, and pretended to give a full fai?tory of the affair, the doings of tho church, Kalloch's pulpit experience, arrest, arraignment, trial and tba result. Its imprint was-"Boston : Ederhein & Co., 1B?7," but it was generally regarded; with how much truth lt. is now Impossi ble to say, that its reappearance was due ko De Young, who .was known to have gone Bait some timo ago to hunt up tho facts in the career br Kalloch. Tim bampnl?t Was extensively circulated, and the Kalloch party were wrought to quito asiate of dmporation. ;De Young con tinued his vigorous assaults os' Kalloch, and. as thc timo for Liafcrfai for ?i?shoc? ing bf tho Mayor drew near, he became boro aggressive, and K?lloch's frionds became correspondingly ! exasperated.~ There is no doubt .that the young ?nab wa? egged on moro br Jess by deapcratb Characters, who havo recently had such set-backs as tho arrest of Kearney and the talc of impeaching mayor iiailocn, that they took advantage of bis boasting and condition to put him up to the dead. The Workingmen make, no effort to dis guise their reeling over the result, and aro gathered in groups this morning ear nestly, discussing the situation. Do Youiig'a aged mother, betweeft whom and her'son an Unsuallv strong affection existed, ia prostrated by the shock of her ron's murder. That tbe end is not y t? is generally be lieved. Db Young's brothers are cour ageous, and moro blood will bo spilled before tho end. Great sympathy for her Is felt everywhere, and, although Do Young was most cordially hated, ???ove for his mother was one.of the redeem ing features in him, and many, words bf sympathy are expressed.. THE EXC?TEME arr. A_. a- -<v?~v au? r^_ UVIU.I V|rvWW. ..vu. AT . ?. tl V.O\<<# says the shooting:of De Yoting by young Kalloch lint night has created such ex citement in thia city as baa never been equalled before even at '? the moat stormy period of our history. It exceeds in vio lence the storm of public passion and agitation that succeeded tho shooting of Mayor Kalloch by Do'Young in Augvat last, and it haa increased to-day to such an extent that no one can foretell what the ultimate consequences will be. Tho feeling against the party of which Mayor Kalloch and Kearney are tho leaders bas been growing stronger1 of lat?, and this assassination has infuriated tbs pernio so that tho Mayor'a lifo is not considered safa from public vengeance. Threats axe freely oxpreased against him ?nd the en* tire Band-lot party. Young Kalloch is ' in prison, and ia closely guarded. ' THE BEMAIN8 TAKEN BOMB. When the Coroner's wagon bearing De Yoong turned from Kearney into Market ; street the crowd made a rush that had i the appearance of being directed nt the 1 wagon. It might have been merely the , natural surge bf the concourse following , the wagon on meeting tho crowd gather ed on Market street, but the police view i iog It as an attempt at vlolenco, used their clubs freely, beating back the crowd, ! and inflicting BO vero punishment on some , of the most forward. Aside from thia 1 incident, there has been no sign of vio i lenee and no reason for the services of i the police, except in keeping back the press. Large throngs still linger around tho Chronicle office and at the main and branch offices of tho Cale and at the Morgue, quietly discussing the affair and waiting with usual morbid interest to hear any further particulars obtainable. Charlea Do Young was formerly a Cinclnnatian. He removed from there mot before the war and settled in San Francisco, where he became a compos itor. De Young continued a type setter until 1869, when be began publishing a little paper called the Dramatic Chronicle, which waa used as a programme in the varions theaters of the city. It was sue* ccssful, end ho soon turned it into a reg ular morning paper, assisting with hiss in its publication hu ??Sther, XL. H. De Young. The paper was personal and violent in tone, and quickly attracted at tention. Do Young himself waa bitterly assailed, and from one end of the year tb the other, was ia hot water that waa in cessantly changing and growing warmer. The paper prospered, and in its peculiar way acquired a great deal of influence. People who attacked ' De Young fonnd him an unrelenting and an unforgiving foo, and it used to bo not an uncommon Sicstion of tho day, "Well, baa any one ot De Young to-day ?" Bat he never was Bhot ; he was fearless and was known to be always armed, and his character in that way was'pretty generally known. He shot at an-reporter of the Chronicle one night in front of the postoffice, the provocation having been almost precisely similar to that which appears to have prompted the shooting or Kalloch; Thc reporter, whose nama was Benjamin F Naptba?y, had started'an obscuro sheet in which he defamed and abused Dc Young's family, and De Young took thi earliest opportunity to revenge himself Both were bad shots, and no injury ro suited to either. ' Subsequently. Judgi Deles Lake, whom De Yoting had at tacked most unsparingly for imprope) conduct on the bench, shot at him ot California street, -near the corner ' o Montgomery, but missed him, and Di Young, in turn, shot at the Judge anc missed, too. Ho has had numeren escapes of the kind; indeed, ' if re per speaks truly, ho bas not always escapee entirely, but he has always shown llttli or no hesitation in taking' publicly th conseqaonces of anything that appearci in the Chronicle. The De Young famil; consisted of three brothers-Charles Gustavus and Michael-their mother an< one sister. They came originally fror Louisiana, and Mrs. Do. Young ia no\ in ber eightieth year. She has alway enjoyed the reputation of being a moe estimable and wdrthy woman: and he children, particularly Charles De Younj were noted for ?their devotion to her. -i- nw A Carious Revelation. Gen.

The GriAt Feature of the ?enturjr. The engineering achievement* of thia century, beyond a question, ara thoao for which it will bo moat famous aud longe?t remembered. Theologians and philoso phera may split hairs about mjtaphyslcal science, but they will all join in the cele bration of what tho engineers have done for modern progg\Jt. The past nfly years have been tho most fruitful in the whole history of engineer ing, and, therefore, the review of its ac oomplishmenta in that time, given in a recent address by. Mr. William Henry Barlow, the President, of the Institution of Civil Engineers of England, bas a gen eral interest. When that institution waa chartered in 1828, the question of trans portation waa ono of great urgency. The canals, which dated in England from about the year 1708, bad increased to a length exceeding 8,000 miles, but they were inadequate to tho Commercial needs of tho country. In the United States the Erie Canal bad been opened in 1825, and had been hailed as an engineering feat of astonishing magnitude; and about the same time lesser canals had been con structed in other States. Both here and in England much attention was bestowed on turnpike roads during tho first quarter of the century. The steam.locomotive was then only In. its early experimental stages. In 1880, however, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was opened, and George Ste phenson's predictions rogardlng the value of locomotives for. tractive power began to be realized. So great was tho want bf improved methods of transportation, that tho spread of the railway system was rap id, tar beyond oven Stephenson's expecta tion. In his address to tho British Asso ciation in 1875, forty-five years after, Sir Jno. Hawkshaw estimated tho total length of railroads then existing at 160,000 mile*, and tho total capital invested in thom at $16,000,000,000. ... j Since that tim? railroad extension has gone on throughout tho world, though curiae the last five years, owing to the prevailing business d?pression, tho prog ress' has hot been so rapid as it waa just pre viously. Yet even In England, which already scemod well supplied with rail ways, the increase In miles was moro than two thousand between 1870 and 1880; and the railway trafile has nearly quad rupled In twenty:fivo years. With ns, from 1872. tho year when railways were built with such astonishing rapidity, reachin? 7,840 miles of now construc tions, up to last year, there was a decline in the progress : but 1879 witnessed tho addition of 4,430 miles of rail, and 1880? promises to bb ono of the most active Sirs we h?vo ever known in the business, e total mileage of railway in the United' Btates. Was, at tho beginning of 1880,86,-' 288 miles, or .one .mile of railroad for ev ery 574 inhabitants, a ratio greatly in excess of that of Europe, which has one milo of railroad to every 3,800 persons. Outside the now railroads to be built in the United States, there is field enough for railroad extension in Asia and Africa. Cliina has aa yet no railroads. Japan has only begun to lay them, and Africa is al most without railways for the 350,000,000 inhabitants Mr. Brassey gives that conti nent. South America, also, still only supplied to a very limited extent, and in CentralAsia they must be vastly extended. Steam navigation has had nearly its whole growth within the last fltty years. It is true there were 844, steam vessels in cdstence in lfe28, but they wera of an average of only about ninety tons each, and were chiefly employed in river ?na coasting trafiic.

A boon compan ion is shot in a drunken brawl. Time rolls on. diristmas eve comes and at a dancing party, while under the influen?a of liquor, he murders a young man of his acquaintance. This is tho brief history of Wm. 8. Bates, who was executed et Barnwell on Friday. It is the tale of drink I drink I drink I from the sad be ginning to the awful ending. Whiskey caused him to abandon his wife, whiskey Erevented him from having any honors le occupation, whiskey brought him to the gallows. And thors are hundreds of young men who read this who will be saved from the fate cf Bates, if saved they are, by the mercy of Providence, not by snytuing they do to avoid or avert it. They excite themselves with whiskey as he did. They habitually carry deadly weapons, as he did. They have murderous impulses, as he had. Why should they feel confident that the paths which for others lead to shame and death shall for them bo the ways to mere mirthfulness and sport I Bates did not dream that ho woutd end his days upon the scaffold. When sober he was qui?', enongh. Liqour developed ! the latcnJ ferocity of his character, as it j arouses 'VJ lurking passions lo every liv : ing man and woman.

Around un in every direc tion, io this Bute and in adjoining States, there are.instances efrain and death in duced hy tippling. Whore blood is not shed, more .than blood is spilt, and the soul ts in bondago while the body is free; For one man who like Bates kilto an ac quaintance at a dance there are thone* ando who murder what is bestia them selves. They kill their young hopes, destroy their talent, mordor tbeir fruitful opportunities. And they will hot bs warned in Urne/ Each ons thanks Ood I that he!? not ss other men are, but it needs not the oye of Deity tooee that, sooner or later, his undoing: will bo ai theirs. There is nevertheless an awak ening of tho moral sense in tho people ol Bootu Carolina on the subjectof drinking intoxicating liquors. - The conviction ano execution of Bates are the proof of it For the first time in our reeoikction, ir this State, drunkenness hos not been re Krdcd as an extenuation of an ofi?neo ?provide oneself with tho instramonti of death and do that which will inevlta bly prompt their use ls an aggravation o the crime.
