OLEOMARGARINE. Dairymen In a Hopeless Fight Against Bogus Butter. Correspondence News and Courier. New York, March 8.?Oleomargarine . and politics have been among the absorb? ing topics of the week. a legislative commission has been looking into the bogus butter business at the earnest prayer of butter makers and dealers, particularly the makers, for the dealer can generally make more by selling oleo than butter, and when pushed to the wall by competition this is wbat be does in nine cases out of ten. A few years ago some meetings were held at our Butter and Cheese Exchange to protest against the introduction of bogus butter, and some very fiery speeches were made by men who denounced the bogus butter manufacturers as enemies of mankind, and to day the chief speaker at the meet? ings sells ten tubs of oleo to one of butter. The history of bogus butter may be summed up, so fat as New York is concerned, in a very few words. In 1874 a young Frenchman named Alfred Paraff appeared in New York with a number of patents or secrets for doing wonderful things and among them was a formula for making oleomargarine. Ten years ago there was not in the country a pound of the stuff which has usurped the place of butter in the markets of the world and nearly ruined the dairymen. Paraff got up a stock company for the manufacture of his stuff and for awhile all went beau? tifully. Greed led him to his downfall. He had also a valuable formula for mak? ing a black dye, which he sold to a com? pany, but not content with legitimate enterprises, he tried to bleed a number of citizens by inducing them to pay a large sum of money for a process by which gold could be extracted from a certain Michigan copper ore. While making his experiments be lived in ex? travagant style at the Everett House, diove fast horses, and began the day with a bath into which his valet poured twenty dollars' worth of attar of roses and fine cologne. When at the height of his prosperity he was married to a daughter of Mr. Bainbridge Smith, a New York lawyer, and presented her with a house on Fifth avenue and a check for $25,000 on the wedding day. The bubble burst a few months after that, and for the next five years we heard of Paraff flying from tho police in almost every country of the globe. It turned out that he had stolen from some French laboratory, in which he had been em? ployed, the process for making oleo and the black dye. They had genuine value, and would nave sufficed to make his for? tune. His process for getting gold out of copper ore was a swindle pure and sim? ple. He was beard from in San Francis? co, in Peru, in Brazil, in Holland, and next he may turn up among the child? like Celestials. Paraff 8 legacy to America was the pro? cess for making bogus butter. The com? pany which worked it at first attempted to create a demand for oleomargarine as sncb. That led it to the verge of bank? ruptcy. Then the product was sold as butter, and the demand grew to be tre? mendous. The butter dealers took fright and managed to have a bill passed com? pelling every manufacturer of oleo to brand the tubs "oleomargarine." This law has proved ridicuously ineffective. New names have been used to cover the old fraud ; we hear no more about oleo? margarine, but by looking carefully at the tubs from which the grocers deal out the "gilt-edged" butter, the brand "But ter-ino" may perhaps be found?butter in very large letters and ine in very small. Grocers usually so manage that the customer never happens to see this brand, but there it is in case some inspec? tor comes around to make sure that all bogus butter tubs are properly branded. Bill after bill was brought forward when it was found how useless it was f "> brand the tubs, but so far not a suggestion has been made which promises a way out of the difficulty, unless it is to compel oleo makers to color their product a distinct ive'tiut, such as green or pink. It is not possible for the dairymen to keep an in? spector in every grocery of the city to see that the grocer informs each customer who wants butter that be is going to get oleo if he buys there, and now that all attempts to prove oleo sufficiently dele? terious to health to warrant the law in forbidding its manufacture have failed, no alternative is left. If the opponents of oleo cannot devise some means of let? ting the public know that it is not buy? ing butter the business ill go on doub? ling every year, as it has done since 1878. .Dealers in real butter contend that net 5 per cent of the business now done in oleo could be done if customers knew what they were buying. Some months * ago a tub of oleo was boldly marked as such in Washington Market and exposed for sale. Thousands of pounds of oleo were sold as butter every day all around it, but for weeks no one would buy from this honestly marked tub. At last one man bought a pound and took it away for purpose of chemical analysis, he said. The experiment showed that victory was with the genuine butter dealers could tbey compel, honesty in retailing oleo. The question is, can they do anything of the kind ? That the majority of New York grocers sell oleo lor butter was proved by the result of an examination made of thirty samples recently bought at first-class groceries. The prices varied from 21 to 33 cents, some grocers charg ing more for oleo than others charged for genuine butter, the object being to prevent suspicion. Of the thirty samples ten proved to be genuine butter, the oth? er twenty containing little or no butter at all. In all cases careful inspection was made of the shop to find any indica? tion that the customer was told the truth, but no oleo brands or signs were visible. butter-men's stories. Some of the experts who have testified before the committee have rather sur? prised the public, as when a veteran butter man confesses that he cannot tell oleo from genuine butter without a chemical test, and wheu it is admitted that a tub of oleo recently carried off the first prize for butter at a dairy show in Utica. The experts for the oleo men have testified that no cases of sickness from eating oleo have been known, and even butter champions have been obliged to confess that good oleo is better than bad butter. The oleo experts also con? tend that the stories of the use of filthy fats and of the slaughter-house products of deceased animals are absurdly untrue, because the health inspectors do not al? low diseased animals to be slaughtered here, and good fresh butchers' fat is as cheap a material as can be wanted. A wonderful story of the way in which the fat for oleo makers was gathered may perhaps be remembered as follows: "Stakes were driven iuside the London sewers. The passing current of filth left a deposit of greasy matter on the stakes; once a day men came and scraped the deposit off into pails. After the proper treatment this grease appeared upon the table as dairy butter." The experts de? nounce this story and similar ones as an invention of the dairyman, because it would cost more to purify and deodorize such stuff than it would be worth as but? ter. The cheapest material for makirg bogus butter, say the experts, is good fre*h fat or lard, and the purer aud sweet? er it is the better butter it makes. The longer the investigation goes on the more hopeless appears the daiyman's position, for while it is shown that real butter might be a great deal dearer were it not for oleo, no evidence has been brought forward to prove that the artifi? cial stuff i3 deleterious to health in ai y way. The committee have received no suggestions of value as to the means of stopping the sale of oleo as butter, at-d unless it can be colored green or pink there seems to be no way. The oleo men claim that the law cannot inflict an in? jury upon their product by compelling them to color it an obnoxious hue. Com? mission merchants estimate that the amount of oleo, butterine, &c, sold in this city during 1883 was 275,000 tubs of fifty-six pounds each, while the con? sumption in 1884 will reach half n mil? lion tubs. Hampton in a tight Place. A middle-aged man approachedjGeuer al Hampton the other day and asked his influence in pressing a claim before the military committee of the Senate. The straDger then said : "General, I am glad to see you again. You do not recoguizo me, but you personally made a prisoner of me during the war." Comparing notes, Hampton found out that it was a fact, and recalled the circumstance. He was recounoitering one night and missed his way. Around him burned many more camp fires than he had left behind him. Entering a house, he discovered that he had strayed into the enemy's liues. A few soldieis were seated at a table, and abruptly addressing them as if a superior officer of their own army, he asked who they were and what they were doing there. One man spoke up and replied: "We belong to the Eighth New York Regiment, and Gen. Warren sent us to get milk." Hampton felt that all of his nerve and address would be re? quired to extricate himself from this dangerous position. He reached for his pistol, held it along his thigh, and, on leaving the house, commanded the man who spoke to him to follow. He did so. Hampton mounted his horse and called the man to him. Bending down to the Federal soldier's ear, ho whispered: "I have a pistol aimed at your head and will shoot you if any alarm is made." The surprised soldier whispered: "Don't shoot, I surrender." Hampton then bade him move on just ahead of his horse, and so brought him into the Con? federate camp. It was this n.au who, after more than twenty years, met his captor and asked a favor of him, as a Senator, that he was more than willing to grant. It was a strange and romantic coincidence in the returning cycles of time.?Correspondence Chronicle and Constitutionalist. X Subterranean Mystery. On Mr. Nicholas Colviu's place, at Halsellville, has been heard for some time a roaring noise, and it waa not till the last few days that the place from whence this sound came was found. A short distance from his residence is the main road, and following the fence for about a quarter of a mile, parallel with the road, you arrive at the place where this noise issues forth from the ground. Smoke arises in dense columns and for a distance of twenty yards of this appar? ent hole the ground is in a heated con? dition. The people around about, espec? ially the negroes, are in the wildest state of terror, thinking as usual that the judgment day is at hand. The whites, also, are at a loss to explain the phenom? enon. Ou last Tuesday a party assem? bled at this threatening volcano with spades, shovels, &c, prepared to dig for the mystery. ?We were informed by two of the ^participants in the affair that a depth of eight feet was reached, when by the smoke, heat an threatening explos? ion, as they thought, it was found im? practical to dig further. So the mystery remains still unsolved. Some think that it is indeed a volcano and other), that it is a geyser from the vapors which arise and the moistened state of the earth surrounding it. The country is hilly and rolling?some of the hills reaching al? most the proportions of a mountain. The soil is of igneous formation. We have as our informants, our former Rep? resentative in the State Legislature, Mr. John B. Cornwell, and Mr. Sam McAfee, both reliable and respectable men.? Chester Bulletin. Koll-Calls by Electricity. In the room of the House Committee on Education is exhibited the electric device for enabling a yea and nay vote to be taken in the House instantaneously, instead of consuming nearly an hour, as at present. Each member would have on his desk a small lever, which when turned to the right votes "yes" and the left "no." The "yeas" and "nays" are takeu at the same time. The votes are automatically counted and the result placed before the presiding officer. The name of each member voting and his State and also the word "yea" or "nay" is at the same time printed on a record sheet on the Clerk's desk and exhibited on an annunciator in full view of every one. At the close of each day's proceed? ings the record sheet, showing in con? secutive order every vote taken, is re? moved for the use of the printer. There is no possibility of any member voting twice on the same call or motion, as in the act of voting he breaks his cir? cuit, which is not again closed until the vote is announced. In making a call of the roll the record sheet will contain the names of the members preseut, and the Dumber present will be shown on the presiding officer's dosk. In addition to the voting apparatus each member would have upon his desk an electric press knob, operating on an enunciator, for summoning pages. ? Washington Post. A Man of Great Vitality. Twenty years ago last August, B. F. Boggs, of this County, was shot in battle in Virginia. The ball entered near the point of the left shoulder, passed through his body and came out under the right arm. The wound was a terrible one, and would have killed almost any ordinary man. But Mr. Boggs recovered and has worked at his trade, carpentry, since the war. His wound commenced paining him recently and rose. Last week Dr. Bramlett lanced the rising, and a few days thereafter a piece of bone, about 2\ inches long worked out of the orifice made by the Dr.'s lancent. Mr. Boggs is now up and will soon be able to work again. In addition to the above severe wound received in the war, some nine years ago he was stabbed by a drunken man in the abdomen, and his entrails protruded from the wound. He caught them up in his hand, walked to a drug store near by and had them placed back and the wound sewed up. He then mounted his mule and rode home, a dis? tance of six miles. Within three weeks time he was well and at work. He cer? tainly ha3 more vitality than any man we ever saw, and can now, when not Buffering too much from his old wound, do as much work at his trade in a day, as any carpenter in the country.?Pick ens Sentinel. ? A singular scene was presented in the House, growing out of the unseating of the Virginia Readjuster, Mayor, in favor of Garrison, the contestant. When a vote was reached on the resolution re? ported by the committee on privileges and elections not a single negative vote was heard, but the House unanimously decided against the sitting member. As Mr. Garrison advanced down the main aisle to receive the oath of office Mayo, hat in hand, was observed quietly steal? ing out by a side door from the hall. Nobody on the floor paid any attention to bis movements, and he was suffered to depart iu peace. During Mayo's slay in Congress he had become very unpopular among his associates and this may in a measure explain why none of his col? leagues even voted against his expulsion. ? A man in Torre Haute, who recent? ly secured a divorce from his wife, now employs her as a servant girl, and she h;1s m?re money and better clothes than when she was his wife. An Agricultural Bass, We meet many a farmer who is too fund of saying that it is of no use for him tc try experiments, or meddle with new ideas. He has been unable, perhaps, to acquire a scientific education, he can not get up and address a convention as 6ome of bis neighbors'enn, and when he takes hold of a pen to write out his thoughts, his ideas all seem to vanish. So too often he leaves the new ideas and experiments to his keener neighbors. They push ahead and publish their re? sults and are called public benefactor. He becomes discouraged at their quick? ness, and goes back to the old ways, fully satisfied that bis place in the world of agriculture is but a small one. Many a farmer becomes discouraged. He feels that he is of little importance, that nobody cares for his opinion. He settles down at last with the idea that this world is a pretty hard place, that people can not appreciate his work, arid that he don't much care any way. Now this is all wrong. No man in any occupation has a right to stand back and simply "make a living." No man has a right to say that his work is not appreciated, or that it is not his duty to himself and the world to do what he can to make that work bet! er. Look at the musicians in an orchestra. The violin and the cornet lead the way through it all, cutting out the tune and never heeding the rest. They get all the credit because tbey make the most show. But there stands the bass, solemnly scraping like a machine. He does not receive the least credit for his part of the performance. People accept it as a matter of course. Suppose the rest of the orchestra should stop and let bim play on alone. How ridiculous it would be. Just a few gruff notes entirely ui. like the tune, and yet if he should* slop we would notice it in a moment. The tune would go on, but there would be something lacking. It would not be balauced. The gruff, monotonous notes of the bass are necessary to mcke the tune complete. They flow on through the melody, adding a note here, filling in a part there, forming an undercurrent that makes the whole perfect. No one appreciates it, but it is necessary just the same. Now, why is not the agricultural world like an orchestra? Tue keen, sharp scientists and theories dash out in ad? vance with new idens and theoretical re? sults. Tbey are like the violin and the cornet?tbey receive all the credit. But their plans are never perfect, never are taken up till the agricultural bass comes rolling in the shape of tbe practical results worked out by plain, honest far? mers. The agricultural bats is an absolute necessity. Let no man think that he has a right to drop every instrument because he can not play a leading one. Let no man think that his experience and obser? vation are valueless. There are too many listeners now. The agricultural orchestra needs building up, and tbe bass is remarkably weak. Too many people are reaching for the upper notes. Let them reach. They will clash some day and back they will come to the bass for help. We slow thinkers who can not keep up with these orilliant ones, can do our own part at least. We can work out their schemes carefully, and when we find they will not work, come in with a perfect roar upon the agricultural ba'ss.? Live Stock Journal. Ambition, Selfishness and False Pride. Ambition is a very good thing to have if you don't have too much of it. It is like quinine?good in small doses; if too much is taken it is apt to have a bad effect upon the head.

Of false pride there is only one kind?but that is the meanest kind manufactured.

The winter pork packing represents about 70 per cent, of the entire packing of the West, and as the South draws a good share of its meat from the Wear, tlie size of the winter packing becomes therefore a matter of considerable home interest. The aggregate number of hogs packed during I he winter was 3,SG7,4S?, a decrease of 073,455 ns compared with the packing of the previous winter. The decrease is 13 per cent. The production of lard has also fallen off. Not only have fewer hogs been killed, but the average yield of lard per hog has been 33.37 pouuds as against 35.77 pouuds last year. The decreased production of lard amounts to 391,12S tierces. The reduc? tion in packing is equivalent to 84S,000 hogs as the previous winter's average weight. The reduction in stocks tf meats ou the first day of the month is equivalent to the meat product of 490,000 hogs at last years weight. We give these figures, taken from the chief authority in the packing trade, the Cincinnati Price Current, in order to open the eyes of our readers to the pos? sible unprofitableness of neglecting in the immediate future the production of meat for home consumption. The lesson is an old one, and if the figures we have given do not lead to its enforcement we do not know what, will.?Atlanta Consti? tution. ?

Cm A FEW WORDS FROM CAPT. R. W. BONNER, A WELL-KJfOWJT CITIZEN OF MACON, GA. In August, 1881, iionrly three yoars ago, my sod, who was at that lime living a: Clinton, Oa., canto over to sec rue with the sail intelligence that his wife was in the last stage* of consumption and ihat her physician had pronounced her ease hone* less. 1 went immediately o\or, and I felt that nothing could lie done. She was coughing and spilling incessantly, and at limes would discharge from her lungs a largo quantity of pus or matter ?could not sleep or retain anything on her stom? ach, and was, in fact, in the last stages of the dis? ease. This was about the lime you began to ad? vertise Brewer's Lung Restorer, and as my son expressed a desire to give it to his wife, two or three bottles were procured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we commenced giving il to her in small doses, gradually incre asing the quantity un? til the proscribed dos; was reached. She began to improve after a few doses and continued to do so daily, until she was finally restored to life and health, and is to-day perhaps in belter health than ever before. She is subject to colds, but a few swallows of Brewer's hung Restorer (which she is never without) relieves her immediately. I con? sider her restoration to perfect health a miracle, lor which she is indebt d to Brewer's Lung Re? storer. My son is almost a monomaniac on the subject of Brewer's Lung Restoier and never lets an opportunity pass where he thinks such a medi? cine would be required, that he does not speak of it in most glowing terms. Not long sir ee a North? ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this cure and was induced by my son to give it to his invalid wife, and she was cured as if by magic." Brewer's Lung Restorer contains no opiates. LAMA It, BANKiN A LAM AB. Macon, Atlanta and Albany, (i.t. Brewer's l.ting Restorer for sale by Wil hitc it Wilhitc, Anderson, S. 0.

I tried everything known to the medical frutt rnity. without relief. By accident I heard of s. S. s. and commenced taking it, gradually increasing the dose. Afler taking four uud n half bottles, an eruption appeared on my fac<? and body. Where the old sores were the skin all peeled oil and the sores discharged freely for tlireo days or more, after which thev healed nicely, leaving the skin smooth. In two weeks I gained twenty-flvo pounds, and no*- feel like a now man. Three months have passed since I quit taking S. si. S., and there is no symptom of the disease remaining. I am certain that I am penmincntly cured, and that S. S. S. did it. It stands uncqiulcd as a remedy, und is a bless? ing to those unfortunate cases (as 'I was) who will t?te it. JNO. S. TAGGART.
