What shall we eat, what shall we drink, and wherewithal shall we be lighted ? are the three questions with whose pleas? ant EolutioD the New York Produce Ex? change charges itself. Seated at the point on the Atlantic coast where all lines-of travel and traffic converge, whith? er cereals from the boundless prairies and pastoral products from the Pacific coast are forwarded by Western merchants and packers, to New York dealers and com? mission firms for distribution among the manufacturing millions of Europe and the several commonwealths of the' Amer? ican continent and archipelagoes, it pre? sents as varied aspects as its busy traffic. Merchants either purchase in the -West, or Bend from their own packing? houses in that region, or receive consign? ments, ou which they make advances often equal to three-fourths the. market value. cf( the provisions here offered lor sale. In the first and third cases, bills of lading accompanied by sight drafts are mailed to purchasers or consignees while the goods are on the way. Before the jar rival of-the latter, parties in inter? est |iot ^infrequently attempt to. guard against loss from fluctuation of prices by selling short in the Chicago market?a process perfectly intelligible to the "hedger" on ,tbe ttirf. In New York, consignments or purchases of provisions pass into the custody of licensed and re? sponsible paid inspectors and warehouse* men, of whom there are Beven ; and by whom the condition, quality, standard, and weight o F the different lots are duly certified, or declared to be insufficient to. fulfill the requirements of the contract. Ivach warehouse receipt must be for 250 barrelb,?cb3t8.iniog .an average , of 200 pounds' per'barrel,.unless otherwise stip? ulated. All sales contemplate merchant? able meats. If 10 per cent, of a lot of dry salted meat, or 20 per cent, of other meats, be defective, they are excluded from this category. Packer's name and , location, number of pieces, and weight, together ..with the inspector's brand, must be marked on each package. Sales, in agreed lots of any size, if for export or domestic consumption, , are made upon the Exchange floor, and deliveries from warehouse or from the dock, as the goods arrive. Speculative sales are in lots of 250 barrels, or their multiples. Less business than formerly is now done in options, but the jobbing trade retains its old proportions. Official but not private sales.are recorded. :; The Western system of grading grain recently adopted here, enables the West? ern buyer who has accumulated as much ?wheat in his warehouses as he wishes to carry, and who knows daily and almost hourly.the market prices in New York, to telegraph to any broker, and through him to sell for future delivery the amount arid grade of wheat he may have on hand. ' He then ships it so that it may arrive in' ti me to fulfill his contract. Cer? tainty and precision are thus given to his business movements..- He is relieved from the compulsory speculation attend? ant "upon consignments of whose sale, price, and delivery he is perforce ignor? ant.- The present terminal . facilities for handling grain are so complete that they have-restored to New York, probably for all time,.the control of the grain trade on the Atlantic seaboard. True, option dealing and some objectionable practices have come in with the new system, but that.is only in harmony with the univer? sal fact,that.every.,solid good is abused by unwise and greedy men. , The grain triide proceeds under the supervision of a committee of five?an inspector-in-chief, a registrar, and a com? mittee of three on the delivery of ware? housed grain.' The Committee on Grain, of which at the time of this writing Mr. ?. R.' Hickox is chairman, annually establishes the several grades, supervises the inspector-in-chief and his assistants, and fixes the fees which (below $20,000) constitute the Grain Inspection Fund, out of which salaries, audited expenses, and claims for damages are paid. Of the grades of grain established in 1884, ten were of white, amber, and red winter wheat, eight of spring, and' one of State wheat. More or less of brightness, soundness, dryness, plumpness, and cleanness determines the grade. The . word "Steamer" prefixed to "grade" de? notes slight softness or dampness. Corn has eleven grades, oats eight, rye three, barley sixteen, peas three.- Heated or unmerchantable grain is not graded at all. Standard samples of all grades of grain are kept at the Produce Exchange. The duties.of the chief inspector and his deputies are to inspect, grade, and ascer? tain the weights of all parcels going into store as graded grain (at the owner's risk), and for which transferable ware? house receipts are giveu; also to inspect and ascertain the weights of all deliv? eries from warehouse or from railroad depot. A daily copy of bis record is furnished to the registrar, and returns in duplicate to warehousemen and railroad companies of all receipts and deliveries of graded grain. - ?Business begins in the "Pit" at 10.30 a. m. Buyers and sellers are indiscrimi? nately blended in the compact, throbbing^ surging mass. All offers and bids are on a unit basis of 8000 bushels. Winter wheat is the only grain in mind. "I'll give 4J cents [94* cents, per bushel] for May wheat," is the bid of a nervous, active broker, emphasized by uplifted band and moving fingers. "I'll sell at '5," is tho quick rejoinder of a neighbor. ?Til give i" "I'll sell you at h" i is the only. obstacle to a bargain. Long and furiously, or short and sharply, the conflict rages around that J. The tug of war on the part of the seller is to pull the buyer up i, and on the part of the buyer to pull the seller down The contest is quite as exciting as aught in the intercollegiate games. But seldom is the battle drawn. Victory, hesitant in the vocal hurricane, decides for one of two parties. Bids and offers are usually regulated by telegrams from Chicago. The difference in prices between the two marts should be the cost of transmission from the latter to New York. Manipula? tion, or, in other words, gambling, at either point, defies all criteria of value. A "corner" in Chicago may raise wheat there above the normal price at New York; or a broken corner in New York may depress wheat below the healthful standard at Chicago. The facility with which sales and purchases for future delivery are made has enormously augmented the volume of trade. Foreign merchants avail themselves of it to proyido for tho pros? pective uccdu of different markets. It gives to the farmer a ready home market , for his products at their full valuo, and f affords to traders the opportunity of sell ing at a reasonable profit and at a mo* ment's notice, and to deliver at option within specified times, as may bo agreed. The exports of grain and grain products from the United States in the fiscal year 1885 were valued at $160,370,821. Sev? enty-five per cent., or more, of the whole was probably sold tea or twenty times over before it was finally shipped. Sales and purchases, charter of ships, bills of exchange for payment, sale of latter?all contemplated "future" delivery. Simi? lar remarks are true of oil, tobacco, cot? ton, and other commercial staples. The system is a device of necessity, the judi? cious adaptation of prospective supply to probable demand, the work of foreseeing prudence. It may be, and is; abused by gambling speculators, or prostituted to assist aggressive corner conspirators, and in all such instances is shamefully de? moralizing.?Richard Wueatly, in Harper's Magazine for July. What Is Oleomargarine] Washington, June 15.?A large number of persons interested in dairying and oleomargarine-were present to-day at the hearing given by the Senate com? mittee on agriculture and forestry on the House bill taxing oleomargarine. Prof. Morton, president of the Stevens Institute of Technology, opposed tho bill. He had taken a natural scientific interest in the new industry; had visited and spent much time in oleomargarine factories, and had reached the conclusion that oleomargarine was of necessity a pure and wholesome product. If fats from which oleomargarine oil was pro* duced wero tainted in the slightest de? gree the oil would become exceedingly offensive to the smell and taste, and when made in oleomargarine would be unsala? ble. The same condition would arise if carelessness orwilfull neglect occurred iu its manufacture. This condition, once existing; could not be counteracted, hence oleomargarine sold must always be good. Oleomargarine oil contained three of the principal elements of butter, but did not contain butterine, which was peculiar to butter and gave it its peculiar flavor. In order to secure this flavor in part, the milk was mixed with the oleo? margarine oil and the product then had a slight flavor of butter and also other components of butter. Lard was added to give softness and BtickinesB to the pro? duct. The reason for making it as nearly identical as possible to butter was be? cause of-the influence previous habits had on people's minds. For this reason he thought it unwise to require tbat it be colored red or blue. He thought, how? ever, tbat it should be sold under its true name. Occasionally a small manufac? turer plight endeavor to make larger profits by using unwholesome materials, but the product would be offensive and unsalable and the experiment would not be repeated. An ounce of impure fat would taint a whole ton of pure fat. It was impossible that germs of disease could exist in this product. Prof. Chandler, of Columbia College, New York, and president of the New York board of- health, said he bad always taken the ground that this was a new process of making an old article?butter. It was pure and wholesome and contained all the components of butter in the same proportion as in dairy butter, except that the proportion of flavoring matter was less. He regarded the discovery of this process as one of the greatest discover? ies of the century. The process by which oleomargarine was manufactured was of necessity much more cleanly than that by which butter was manufactured. The attempt to destroy the industry, he thought, was on a par with the attempt to prevent the introduction of indigo as a dye in England, France and Germany, because it would interfere with the sale of what everybody now admitted was an inferior dye. The State of New York, he said, had been used to disgust people with oleomargarine. The person who was chairman of the New York State Senate committee had purposely refrained from calling him as a witness after talk? ing with him on the subject. The evi? dence given before that committee was ridiculous, and the absurd statements made then that dead dogs and cats were used in the manufacture be characterized as nonsensical. New York had appropria? ted $50,000 to crush tho oleomargarine industry, but the witness was unable to secure money to have cases of adultera? tion of-food and medicines prosecuted. We already had sufficient legislation to compel the sale of oleomargarine as such. He thought it a hardship to compel peo? ple to color olemargarine red or blue when they wanted it yellow, because they were used to spreading a_ yellow product on their bread. The witness having stated that his wife paid 80 cents per pound for butter, was asked why he did not use oleomargarine at 18 cents. He said his wife had a fancy for the other article and he was willing to please her fancy and pay the difference. He had, however, used oleomargarine for two days on his table without being detected. Then he submilicd the best Connecticut butter, and his wife declared it must be oleomargarine. Jube Early's Nigger Joe. One of the best known characters in Lynchburg, Va., is "Jube Early's nig? ger Joe." Joe is an old negro, with all the dignity of a body servant of the slavery days, and his affection for the General amounts to worship. Jube owned Joe before the war, and owns him still, Joe never having beeu freed, scorn? ing to accept what he says does not be? long to him, and saying as long as Mass Jube was alive Joe is his slave. Early is very fond of his slave, and would shoot quicker in defence of the negro cbau anybody else. He has given Joe carte blanche to buy what he likes in the town, and has instructed storekeepers, no mat? ter what Joe wants, or how much it will cost, to give it to him and send the bill to his master. Sometimes Early gets rather the worse for whiskey, and then a comical sight is seen. Joe follows him like a dog, and when the General gets very drunk Joe will say : "Mass Jube, you mus' come home." "Why, you black rascal, what do you mean ? I'm your master." "Yes, Mass Jube, when you'se sober; when you'se drunk I'se massa." "Well, I reckon you are right, old man. I'll go with you." ? Temperance revivalist (to the re? formed one who is about to sign the pledge?Brother, do you know what the nature of this pledge in? Reformed one ?Well, boss; I ought to. I have been signing these pledges for you fellows for tho last thirty years. ? Tho reason why the "honey-moon" is only applied to the married persons is probably becauro (be moon only effects the tied, A New Anaesthetic. A week ago a little baldheaded deutist, who lives in Brooklyn, sent invitations to the eminent doctors of this city and Philadelphia, asking them to be present at a series of experiments that he pro? posed making with a new anaesthetic ho had discovered. He explained that his compound was something entirely un? known hitherto, and the result of five years' work. He pleaded that he was poor, and could not afford to give his formula to the world, and, although he was willing to demonstrate the uses of his discovery) he preferred to keep the ingredients to himself. Here the little dentist went into a dis? cussion of functions of nerves and the effect of the old anaesthetic on the sys? tem and their tendency to produce nausea, headache, prostration and per? haps death. He wound up by saying that his discovery produced naturalsleep almost instantaneously, and the patients recovered of their own accord invigora? ted and refreshed, He hobbled into a side room and soon appeared with a de? crepit old woman. He promised tore move all the decayed stumps from her mouth if she allowed him to use bis ansesthetic in the operation. Ho satura? ted a napkin with a substance that looked like water and emitted a pleasant odor. For an instant he held it over the old lady's nose, telling her to breathe freely, and in thirty seconds she was unconscious. He allowed the napkin to remain, and for over two minutes he worked, extract? ing sixteen teeth. The patient never moved, and to all appearances she did not feel the pain attending the operation. On removing the napkin almost imme? diately she revived and stepped out of the chair as fresh and hearty as she got into it. She said she had a vague idea of what was going on while under the influence of the anrestbetic, but could not move hand or foot. She said she knew the dentist was pulling her teeth out, but felt no pain. Eight penons were made and kept un? conscious from a half to two and a half minutes. In one case the napkin was al? lowed to remain for six minutes. The patient all told stories similar to the old lady's and went away in good spirits. The Star man was the last subject, and these, in brief, were the sensations he ex? perienced : From the moment the napkin was placed over his face a feeling of uncon? sciousness came over him, and at the end of the third free inspiration everything became blank. His arms hung at his side, and he could feel that they were there, but they were bayond the volun? tary control of tho will; a sense of dreamy langour followed, and, as if on the wings of a fleet bird, ho was borne through the air high above the earth. The sensation was altogether pleasant, Then the scene changed and his skull tingled, a million minute hammers no bigger than a fine needle began pound? ing all at once. They shattered into fragments in an instant, the napkin was removed and all was over. Recovery was instantaneous, and all effect was gone. Tho time taken by one of the physicians was one and three-quarter minutes.?New York Star. Music in the Home. It is passing strange that people do not make greater use of vocal and instru? mental music to brighten the home life. Too many look upon it only as a means for earning a livelihood, when there are thousands of homes where it is needed merely for its purifying and elevating influences. There is no place where it is more im? portant, and nowhere else does it shine with a brighter lustre. Even if there be no very marked talent in this direction which would lead to the idea of display before tbo public, it is well worth while to make the most of such as there may be; and those parents who ignore music because the son or daughter may give no promise of eminence as musicians are sadly in error. If right views concern? ing this subject could generally prevail, we should hear less of wailing because young people incline to spend their evenings away from home ainid excite? ments which are not for their best good ? and we steadfastly believe that many a hearthstone is shrouded in gloom simply from neglecting the wonderful power which might have been wielded, through music, in making home more attractive and filling it with sunshine. Among the great reforms needed in our land to? day, few are of equal importance with that of making the home-life more pure, beautiful and attractive. ?

Atlanta papers arc giving the public some curious and wonderful cases that are quite interesting. It seems a young lady of Atlanta had been reported as dead, but it came to the ears ol a Consti? tution reporter that she was still alive, and being on the alert for news, called at her residence to learn all the facts. Miss Dunaway, who had been pronounced dead, said: "For four years, rheumatism and neu? ralgia have resisted physicians and all other treatment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my flesh shrank away, my joints were swollen, painful and large, lost my appetite, was reduced to GO pounds in weight, and for months was expected to die. I commenced the use of B. B. B., and the action of one-half bottle con? vinced ray friends that it would cure me. Its effect was like raagic. It gave me an appetite?gave me strength, relieved all my pains and aches, added flesh to my bones, and when five bottles had been used, I bad gained 50 pounds of flesh, and am to-day sound'and well." Mr. J. P. Davis, of West End. . What Mr. J. P. Davis, of West End, said : "I have only a few words to say, which are to state that I have been con? fined to my bed for two months with what was called Nervous Rheumatism, or Sciatica. I was only enabled to hobble about occasionally by the use of crutches, and in this condition I commenced the use of B. B. B., four bottles of which enabled mo to discard the use of my crutches and attend to business. I had previously used all well recommended medicines without relief. It has been over one year since using B. B. B., and I consider myself permanently cured." Mr. K. P. Dodge, Yardmastcr Ga. H. R. makes a statement: "My wife has been a great sufferer from catarrh. Several physicians and various patent medicines were resorted to, yet the disease contin? ued unabated, nothing appearing to make any impression upon it. Her constitu? tion finally becamo implicated, the poi? son being iu her blood. I secured a bottle of B. B. B. and placed her upon its use, and to our surprise the improvement began at once, and her recovery was rapid and complete. No other prepara? tion ever produced such a wonderful change, and for all forms of Blood Dis? ease I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a superior Blood Purifier." Mr. James L. Bos worth Buttonholed. "Yes," said Mr. James L. Boswortb, an old Atlantian, "it was twelve years ago when I contracted a terrible case of blood poisoning. I bad no appetite, did not sleep well at night, my digestion was im? paired, my throat was cauterized five' times, and in fact I was a total wreck. I had been under the treatment of several of the leading physicians of Atlanta; tried nearly every blood remedy adver? tised ; went to Hot Springs, where I re? mained several months, receiving no ben? efit whatever. A truly wonderful blood remedy was recommended, known as B. B. B. I used it, and, sir, 5 bottles cured me, and I really believe it to be the grandest and quickest blood remedy ever known."

It is simple, strong, swift and sure, doing the widest range of work, and equipped with all the latest im? proved Attachments. The 1>omcstic is certainly a Star of no small magnitude, and is celebrated for its light and noiseless running, and its handsome appearance. The peerless White is KING, and is highly appreciated by all who use them, for lightness, simplicity and handsome finish. The Royal St. John ie certainly the ACCOMMODATING Machine of the day, as you can do beautiful and substan? tial work, by running either way, without getting out of adjustment or breaking stitches. These arc the LEADERS, but I also sell several otln;r makes of Machines, und all at low figures and on reasonable terms. The Lsttest Novelty in way of a Sewing Muc hinje Attachment is the P. Byrne Spring Motor. The complete operation of a Sewing Machine with this Motor is so simple and easy that a child, or the most delicate lady can use it. Can be applied to any Sewing Machine, and is loudly prais? ed by all who see its operation. Will run from 10 to .1,000 stitches per minute, at the will of the operator. I have exclusive sale of this Motor for the upper portion of South Carolina. Can bo seen in operation at any time at cither of my Sewing Ma? chine Parlors. NeedleH, Oil and Attachments a specialty.
