OLEOMARGARINE. Dairymen In ?> Hopeless Fight A ra lost J loy us Itutler. OjTrtt?<it.-l/T^.eScitia'A Ow*Ur, NEW YOKK. March 8.-Oleomargarine nod politic.? Late been among the absorb ing t?pica of the week. A legislative cotnmimion ba- Wen looking ;cito the bogus butler lu-int-- at the earnest prayer of bi tter maker- and dealers, particu'arly the maker*, for the d tie* can genera.ly wake more hy -?^mg o!--o than butter, sud v.htn pushed to the wall by competition ibis is wbat he does ia nine case* cut of len. A few years ago some meetings were held a: our Butter and Cheese Exchange lo prcu st ag thc introduction ol bogus butter, arid some very fiery tpeeche* were made by men who denounced the br-gu.-. butter manufacturers a-r enemie? ol mankind, ard to day the chi? f rpeaker at thc meet ings sells ten tub? of olio to one of butter. The history of bogus butter may bc .-uuiiaed up, so fai a* New York is concernid, ir. a very few word?, lu 1-7 i a young Frenchman named Alf?? i 1'aratf appeared in Nev York with a nuuihi r of {.atenta or secret* f >i doing wonderful thing-! and among them ?vas a formula for making oleomargarine*. Tea years ag-, there wai bot in the country a pound of tbe stuff wbicb bas u?urpcd the {la'.e of butter in the market* 6? the world and nearly ruined tbedatrymcn. I'&raiT got up a stock company for the manufacture of hi?, stuff and for a while all went beau tifully. Greed Iel him to ht? doWnf.i ile had also a valuable formula for m ik ing a black dye, which he sold lo a o in pany, but no'. content with legitimate enterprise?, be Hied to bleed a ..umber j of citizens by inducing them lo pay a large sum of money for a process by which gold coull! bc extracted from a ! certain Michigan copper "rc. While making his experiments he lived in ex tra vaga nt style at the Everett Hon*?, drove fast horses, and beg-m the day with a bath into which bis valet pound i twenty dollar?' worth of attar cf r -. - and linc cologne. When at tbe height of bis prosperity he married to a, daughter of Mr. Bainbridge Hui i th, a I New York lawyer, and preteatc-d her ? with ? bou*e Fifth avenue HII-J A ! check for ??3,000 on the welding day. Thc bubble burst a few mouths after that, and for the next five year- we heard of ? l'arafr Hying from the police in almost j every country of Hie globe. It turned ] out thal he had stolen from some French ! laboratory, in which he had been cm- ; ployed, the process for making oleo and the*black dye. They had genuine value, and would have sufficed to make his for tune. iii? process fur getting gold out of copper ore was a swindle pure and sim ple. He was heard from in San Francis co, in Peru, in Ilrar.il, in Holland, and next he may turn up among tbe child like Celestials. I'arairn legacy to America wa- the pro cess for making b';gUB butter. Thc com pany which worked it at first attempted to create a demand for oleomargarine as kuch. That lcd it to the verge of bank ruptcy. Then the product was sold as butter, aud the demand grew to be tre mendous. The butter dealers look fright and managed to have a bill passed com Celling every manufacturer of oleo lo rand thc tubs "oleomargarine." This lav/ has proved ridicuously ineffective. New names have beet: used to cover the old fraud ; wc 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 largo letters and inc in very .?mall. Grocers usually so manage that the customer never happens lo see this brand, but there it is in case some inspec tor comes around ta make sure that all bogus butter tubs are properly branded. Bill after bill was brought forward when it waa found how useless it was lo brand thc tubs, but so fur not a suggestion has been made which promises a way out of the difficulty, unless it is to compel oleo makers lo color their product a distinct ive tint, Buch as green or pink. It is not possible for the dairymen to keep an in spector in every grocery of the city to see thai 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 deviso some means ol' let ting the public I:nov; that it is not buy ing butter the business will go on doub ling ovcry year, as il has done since i878. Dealers in real butter contend thut not G per cent of tho business now dono in oleo could bc done if customers knew what they were buying. Some months . ago a tub of oleo was boldly marked as such in Washington Market and exposcO for sale. Thousands of pounds ol oleo were sold as butter every day all around it, but for weeks no one would Inn fiom this honestly marked tub. Atlast ono man bought a pound and too^ it away for purpose of chemic?.! analysis, he said. TiiK. experiment showed that victory was with tho genuine butter dealers could they compel honesty in retailing oleo. The question is, can they do anything of thc kind? That tho majority of New York grocers Bell oleo for butter was proved by the result of au examination made of thirty Kamples recently bought nt first-class groceries. The prices varied from 21 to 33 cento, ?orno grocers charg ing moro for oleo than others charged for genuine butter, tho object being to prevent suspicion. Of the thirty samples ten proved to bo genuino butter, tho oth er twenty containing little or no butter at all. . In all cases careful inspection was made of the ?hop lo rind any indica tion that the customer was told the tm?h, bul so cleo brands or ligas were visible. BUTTER-MEN'8 STORIED. Some of the expert? who have testified bsforc the committee have rather sur E. ved tho public, ns wheo a veteran utter man confesses that he cannot tell oleo from geuuine buller without a chemical test, and when 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 tue use of filthy fats and of the slaughter-house products of deceased animate are absurdly untrue, because the health inspectors do not al low, diseased animals to be slaughtered here, and good fresh butchers' lat is as cheat) a'material as caa be wanted. A wonderful atory of the way in which the fat fdr oleo makers was gathered may perhaps be remembered at follows: "Stakes were driven inside the London sewers, y^he passing current of filth left a deposit of greasy maller on the stakes ; ono? a^iTay men carne and scraped tbe deposit mi' into palls. After tbe proper treatment this grease appeared upon the tabl? as dairy butter." The experts de nounce this atory and ilat'ar ones as an invention of tho dairya>au, becanso it would cost more to purify and deodorize such stuff than it would be worth as but ter. Tbe cheapest material for makirg bogus butler, say the experta, is good - frei h fat or lard, and tba purer and sweet er it is tho better butter it makes. The longer the investigation goes on the more hopeless appear* the daiymao'a piosilion, for while it ls shown that real batter might be a great deal dearer were it not for oleo, no eridesto has b?ion brought forward to prove that tho artifi cia! stuff is deleterious to health iii any. woy. Thc committee have received no KU weit inna of value ns to the means of ?Topping tho salo of oleo as butter, and unless ?'. can be colored green or pin! there Mero? to be no way. Theoleo mer: c'aiui tba', the law cannot inflict Mn in jury upon their product by compelling them lo color it au obnoxious hue.

'in Mr. Nichol** Colvin'? place, at Halsellville, has Leen heard f?>r some time a roaring noise, ami .r ..?..:- not tn! the lait few days that the pince from .a!.euee ibissou nd came wa? found. A abort distance from his residence i? the main road, and following the lenee 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 tm! 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 {error, thinking as usual that the judgment day is at hand. The whites, also, are at a lons to explain the phenom enon. Ou last Tu.-day a party assem bled at litis ihreatouiug volcano with j spades, ?hovela, c\?c., prepared to dig for the mystery. .Wc. were in funned by two of thc p.irticipant-i in the adair that a depth ol eight feet was reached, when by the smoke, heat an threatening explos ion, as they thought, it waa found im pi -tical to dig further. So tho mystery remains still unsolved. Some think thal it is indeed a volcano and others, that it is a geyser from the vapors which arise and thc moistened ftato of the earth surrounding it. Thc country is hilly and rolling-some of the hills reaching al most thc proportions of a mountain. The soil is of igneous formation.

Twenty years ago lust August, H. F. Hoggs, of Ibis County, was shot in battle in Virginia. The ball entered near the point of the left shoulder, passed through bis body and came out under the right arm. The wound was a terrible one, and would have killed a!mo?t any ordin?r/ man. But Vi*. Boggo recovered and has worked at his trade, carpentry, Bince the war. His wound commenced paining him recently and rose. Last week Dr. Bramlett lunced the rising, and a few days thereafter a niece of bone, about 2J inches long worked out of the orifice made by the Dr.'s Inncent. 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 niue years ago ho was ?tabbed by a drunken mau ir the abdomen, and his entrails protruded from the wouud. Ho 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 homo, a dis tance of six miles. Within three weeks time he was well and at work. He cer tainly has moro vitality than any man wo ever saw, and can now, when not suffering too much from his old wound, do as much work at his trade in a day, as any carpenter in the country.-Pick en* Sentinel. - A singular scene was presented in thc House, growing out of the unseating of tho Virginia Readjuster, Mayor, in favor of Garrison, the contestant. When a vote was reached oh the resolution re ported by the committee on privileges and elections not a single negative vote was beard, but the House unanimously decided against tho sitting member. Ai Mr. Garrison advanced down tbe main aisle to receive the oath of office Mayo, hat in hand, was observed quietly steal ing out by a side door from tho ball. Nobody on the floor paid any attention to bis movements, ana he waa suffered to depart in peace. During Mayo's stay ic Congress he had become very unpopulai among bis associates and this may in a measure explain why none of bis col leagues even voted against bis expulsion - - A man in Terre Haute, who recent ly secured a divorce from bis wife, noa employs her as a servant girl, and sb< has more money and better clothes thru when she waa his wife. ; ?'.

Ambition ih a very good thing to have if you don't have too much of il. It is like quinine-good in small doses ; il too much is taken it is ap; to huve a bud cftect upon the head. Ambition is a dif ficult thing lo defiue ; cruelty, selfishness and false pride are its first cousins. Am bition, in ill-balanced natures, make? them cruel ; the possessor will step lo the prize over the quivering ho lies of his competitors-physically speaking, in by-gone ages ; figuratively, in this nine? teenih century -without a qualm ?if re gret, except lhat the guerdon is not great er than il is, and without compassion for those who have fallen in the struggles. Of selfishness there are many kinds ; tho common, cvery-day, won't give-up-my seat kind of selfishness, and the other kind -the rendering of small (avon in expectation of a leiurn at luury-this is the pure, double distilled, bottled and corked with a g!a?s stopper kind. Of false pride there is only one kind -but that is the meanest kind manufactured, rabi- pride will tell a young man to steal rather than to beg; to lie concerning bis prospects rather than to tell his friends he has been unwise and is in straits. The young man who arrives in a city without any friends, registers at the best hotel, and has his mail from home ad dressed there, taking bis board out of his prospects for gelling work, will be very likely to get himself into the papers as a hotel Lea', an 1 be obliged to have his letters addressed to the jail. The young mau Who starts out in life with the idea that ju a few years he will own the wbolo earth and a few acres of the next field, may have to come round at the lust minute and beg for so much as it seat on the fence. "Make basto slowly-' is a wise proverb ; its wisdom is proved hy the test of experience. Home was not built in a day, nor even a great many towns of lesser importance io history.
