There is-trouble in the minds of the peo-
pie, for adulteration in its worst form has
been discovered. The father of the family,
as he pOured the rich syrup‘ovcr his buck-
wheats at breakfast, and gave of the seine
to the wife of his bosom and the child of
his heart, little dreamed that he was giving
them poison and a most disgusting poison
at that. For beholdyou, it has been disi
covered that the elegant, beautiful, delicious-
looking syrup, knewn as the "Golden Drip,”
is made of what ? Why, of ' rags, and
muriatie acid l The rage of commerce, the
common rags from the paper mills, are
taken by the skillful chemist and treated
with muriatic acid, and from. the result this
golden drip syrup is' made. Imagine the
horror which attended this discovery!
Rags from Turkey, from the backs of the
' leprosy-stricken people of the Bosphorous—é
rags from the backs of the filthy lazzaroni
of Italy, and rags even from the mummies
Of Egypt, sweltered through s. chemical
process, and coming on our tables as Golden_
Dripl Half the stomachs in New York
turned as they saw the syrup cup on their
tables,'and in the restaurants the orders
buckwheats a’nd syrup were lessened a half.
The fact is adulterations‘and frauds enter
more or less into everything that is used in
the great cities, particularly in this. Our
butter is larded,'our genuine Havana cigars
are made of the vilest Connecticut tobacco,
our bread is slumed, our coffee is chicoricd,
our milk is watered and chalked, and when
we._,die,,the plate on our cofln is plated.
This worldis given to shams—let us hope
them}? world will be genuine. It is that
thought that sustains me.
rm: wmsn‘r Bums“.
-With the reviVal of religious interest in
cities, comes, naturally, a revival of feeling
in favor of temperance. The drinking
saloons continue to multiply, and they are
now reported by the Excise Commissioners
at 7,322, being nearly one for 186 of the
population. There is no street, no square,
without .them. In the upper part of the
city 'e,,fitted up in the most costly
style‘rto attract the attention of the wealthy
g‘hgzzlerspwhose patronage they desire, while
in the lower part of the city the saloons are
stripped 'of everything except what is
absolutely necessary to handle the liquid
damnation. Down in Water street, and in
fact all the streets on the lower end of the
Island, there will be a dozen bucket-shops in
every square. Bucket-shops are _ stores
where the bulk"jof the trade is by the pint,
quart,ior halfgallon. -You will see in any
one of them long processions of little boys
and girls, half clad, barefooted, and with
scarcely clothing enough on them to hide
their nakedness, and half starvod, going up
to the counters with tin buckets for liquor,
for their drunken fathers and mothers.
The temperance movement now being in
augurated proposes to
1‘ DIAL wr'rrr run P008,

pbiii't Cbmlnittees, who 'will labor with poor
nien‘who are addicted to the use of liquor.
They intend to take these men by the hand,
to furnish warm and well lighted rooms to
which they may resort, and where they will
be furnished coffee, tea, and plenty of good
reading matter. It is expected that each
man once weaned from the use oi liquors
will see such a difference in the way of liv-
ing, thstvhe will become an» apostle of tem-
perance among'his fellows. They expect
in this way to organize a working temper-
ance army, taken from the liquor shop»
ai‘ldcompel the closing of the bars by WILL-
diaw‘ing dire-it trade. The movement has
besOSAOSOsmtednns ,
‘ ” ' succnss HAS ATTENDED IT.
The workers have discovered that the
laboring man, living in a close, cheerless,
cold room, goes to the bar-room because it
is light and warm, and of course once there
he drinks. The refomers give him alighter,
better, warmer, cosier place of resort, and
he is glad to avail himself of it. And he
brings his wife and children, and they have
a good 'time. Music is furnished, pipes,
tobacco, coffee and tea, free to all, with a
sandwich or such a matter to eat. The
movement is telling, and has made a posi-
tive impression. Let it go on.
THE alum rams
continues to‘excite attention. The fact. is
the facilities for handling grain at this point,
are ludicrously deficient, and the cost is
absurdly great, which costis borne of course
by the producer in the interior. But addi-
tional terminal facilities will not relieve the
overburdened farmer. The country wants
cheaper freights, and cheaper freights can
only be had by increasing the efilciency of
ethecanal system. Let me impress it upon
{every farmer who reads these lines that to
'hiof’thecansl is his only protection against
the rapacity of the railroad. So long as
canals are operated the railroads cannot
combine to extort. But to make them
cfi'cctive, they must, every one of them, be
enlarged. The Erie Canal . ought to be
enlarged so as to pass a lake vessel, and
all tolls should be taken OH. The great
Wabash Canal should be enlarged and ex-
tended -to St. Louis, and the'entire canal
system revived and strengthened. Oh, ya
Grangersitake hold of this matter. You
have power to do it, and not only for your
own sake but for the sake of the feeding
millions of the east who want cheap bread,
give us the relief. _ ,~ _ 7

Several years since the prediction was

prediction is claimed, a large amount of the
literary capital of Boston having been shift-
ed to New York, and more being expected
speedily to follow its courte, according ‘90
the gossip of literary circles; “The “nb‘s‘orli-
tion of Our Young Folks by a New York
magazine, and the recent trapsfer ol the
Atlantic, give evidence to these beliefs and
The truth of the matter is,
New ' York has always shown greater
liberality to literary talent than Boston, and
hence it naturally seeks a market there.
New York magazines employ the pens of
almost all the leading authors of the present
era. Her dailies. Weeklies and monthlies
have the largest circulation of any in
America, and probably in the world.
Writers with established reputations send
their contributions thither, knowing that
they will there bring the highest price, and
they who have reputations to establish
follow their example in the gratifying belief
that a too rigid criticism will no't annihilate
their crude cfi‘orts, but view thcui with
cheering encouragemlint. Literary capital,
'too, will eventually gavitale towards that
centre, where its advantages are greatest
for investment and increase, and hence all
indications point towards the future New
York as the leading cosmopolitan empofium
of literature of the enlightened world.
A NEW vILLamY.
, .Is there any limit to human credulity?
The mock auctions In this city have been
so effectually exposed that the rogues were
compelled to resort to new dodges. The
dodge was forthcoming as soon asit was
needed. Here is the way thevaork it:
SCENE—A small room on Nassau or Ann
streets. Auctioneer with case of jewelry-—
crowd of persons, consisting .of honest in-
nocents and confederatcs. Enter, old man.
ina dirty suit of clothes, w1th awoeful face,
that looks as though no food had entered it
for a week. ' ,
“What do you want?” queries the auc-
tioneer of old poverty. .
Slowly the wretched old man pulls from
his pocket a watch and says he wants it
sold. ‘
“How did you get this watch?” demands
the auctioneer.
“I am from Wisconsin,” answers the old
map, humbly. “I am here in New York
prosecuting a suit for the recovery of some
property, and am out of funds and want to
raise‘enough to get home. I havcasccu bet-
ter days.
Auctioneer—Arc you aware of the fact
that this is a first—class, double-cased, Eng-
lish-lever, chrOllometcr-balauce, jeweled in
top and bottom, gold watch, worth at least
$150? ‘
Old DIallfI paid $175'for it in Montreal,
four years ago, when I could afford such a
watch. ‘ '
Auctioneer- -Don‘t let me sell your watch
old luau. Don’t do it. Take it to .some
pawn;brokcr, and pawn it; any of them
will advance you $100 upon it, and you can
send for it when you get home. It will be
sacrificed here—it will indeed. a
Old Man—It don’t matter. All I want is
to get home—aud-«rlie It doesn’t matter
to me whether I get what it is Worth or not.
"Very good, I will sell it, but It is a
shame. How much do I hear for this
watch. .
A capper starts it at $25, and up it goes
to $30, $40, $50, or $60, when it is struck
off. The money is paid to the auctioneer,
who gives it, less his commission, 10 per
cent. to'the old man, who thanks him tear-
fully, and goes slowly and sadly out. Then
the auctioneer closes the sale for the day,
that he may get rid of the people, so as to
open in an hour with a new lot of victims
in whose presence the aged Wisconsin man
and the auctioneer go through the old farce
again. It is needless to say that the
purchaser of thegold English lever, jewel-
ed watch, finds himself stuck with an oriode
bogus ticker that would be dear at three
dollars a bushel. In one den in Ann street
the thing is played twenty times a day.
There are other things in the way of
cute villainy which Iwill show up in my
next. PIETRO.
A Woman’s NERVE—In New York re-
cently the wife of Deputy Sheriff Michael
Daly, of 51 Marion street, was awakened
by the slamming of a door. Fearing that
some one had entered the house, she awoke
the deputy, who laughed at her fears, and
expressed warmly as to any ihief being
bold enough to give him an opportunity to
take him.to Sing Sing,saying which the
deputy, in selflassurance, turned over and
went to sleep. Fortunately for Michael
Daly, his wife remained watching, and a
few minutes later was startled by the sud-
den appearance of a man wearing a black
mask, carrying a dark lantern and revolver,
who stealthily approached the bed. Draw-
ing her husband’s revolver from under his
pillow, Mrs. Daly aimed at the burglar and
fired. He sprang to the door and escaped.
At that.momcnt Deputy Daly sprang from
his bed and pursued the burglar, who
jumped from a second story window, close-
ly followed by the sheriff, who, notwith-
standing the scantiness of his apparel, made
good‘time over the fences and through alley-
ways. The burglar escaped.
—
Old bed-quilts from across the line are
quoted above par at Suspension bridge,
since a man bought one the other day at a
sale of confiscated goods at that port.
Other men have doubtless made similar in-
jvestments, but this man who paid fifty
cents for a second-hand comforter got more
comfort out of it than is usually realized in
such cases After having used the article
for some tilu: a hole was worn through it,
which revealed tile fact that the old bed-
quilt contained something valuable, and
was in fact much better than it looked. On
dissecting the quilt the following articles
were found in it: Five yards of rich pink
silk, nine yards heavy black silk, a quantity
of velvet ribbon and numerous silk neck-
tics.

AN OLD-FASHIONED IIIOTHER AND A Rn-
FORMED Ban—Some time ago a Mrs. Buck-
elby, who lives over in Berrien county,
Mich, directed her son Samuel,a lad of 14
, years, to takes turn at the churn. Now as
Samuelhad set his heart on going a-fishing
I at that very time, he “ got his back up” and
' flatly refused to agitate the cream. The cur-
vature was promptly taken out of his spine
by a slipper, and, with “ tears in his eyes."
he wenton duty with the dasher. In about
half an hour, and during the brief absence of
his mother his eyes fell upon a. plate of fly-
poison, and a bright smart thought struck
him. Just before Mrs. B. came 11. Samuel
lifted the fatal platter to his face, and as she
entered he put the “ poison” from his lips
with the dramatic exclamation : “There
,motherJ guess you won’t lick me no more!”
Now what did the Spartan dame do? Did
she shriek for a doctor and fall into hysterical
Not much. She simply took Samuel by the
nape of the neck, and lifted him deftlyin the
pantry,beat the white of six eggs together,
and told him to engulf the same instantly;
be refusing, she called the hired girl, and in
a twinkling Sam found himself outside the
albumen. Then Mrs. B. began preparing a
mustard emetic. Seeing this Sam’s pluck
dissolved, and be commenced begging. cry-
ing, “ I was only tryin’ to skeer ye.” But
the stern mother was not to be softened, and
Samuel had to swallOw the mustard. He
was then forced to take a dose of pain-killer
and had his back rubbed with “ Vigor of
Life," and his stomach with the “ Oil of
Gladness.” Then he vomited up everything
but his boots and socks. This being over,
he took seven Ayer’s pills, two teaspoonsful
of castor oil, a teaspoonful of salts and a
blue pill. And now, if you want to behold
the maddest boy in Michigan, just say “ fly-
poison” to Sam Buckelby.
Ladies, of course, are intereestcd Ill kuow~
ing “ what is worn" by the Grand Duchess
Mira, the newly made wife of the Duke of
Edinburg. One of a. number of rich Palis-
ian dresses which formed a part of her ele-
gant trousseau will serve as a sample. Itis
of sky blue terry velvet, covered with a
tunic of India muslin draped in antique
fashion. The material is so light and fine
that the whole tunic will easily pass through
a ring. The folds of the eel-sage are held in
place by clasps of fine pearls, and the edge
of the tunic is trimmer] with a fringe also
made of fine pearls. —The newly-made
Duchess of Edinburgh is a blonde, fair and
young, and the dress must be exquisitely
adapted for her youth and royal state.
Probably it is literally “ one of a thousand,”
and it cost—~11. mere trific in royal expendi-
ttre—the little sum of five thousand dollars
in gold 1

making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, b its use, becomes white

and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop-
erties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair- lands. By its use, the hair
grows t icker and stronger. In
baldness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1; is the most cco-
nomical Ham DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, M.D.,

“The constituents are pure, and care-

with a revolving shuttle. which. revolving on its
carrier, is subject: to no wear, and requires no oilinz
by which the thread would otherwise be soiled; and

style of shuttle moves with greater

In one of “Mark Twain's”
.5 a:
sketch books -
published by Routiedge in England, is the
following minute, entertaining, and just
now especially valuable account of the
habits of the Siamese Twins.
It 'was writ-
ten schral yesrsago before the present
mantle of grief had involved the entire
family in the privacy of sadness and its re-
publication just at this time is solely. in the
cause of science and not to satisfy idle
curiosity or to intrude upon a family
already so much out up in affliction :—
I do not wish to write of the personal
habits of these strange creatures solely, but
also of Certain curious details of various
kinds concerning them, which, belonging
tc‘their private life, have never crept into
print. Knowing the twins intimately, I
feel that I am peculiarly well qualified for
the task I have taken upon myself.
The Siamese twins are naturally tender
and affectionate in disposition, and have
clung to each other with singular fidelity
throughout a. long and eventful life. Even
as children they were inseparable compan-
ions; aud it is noticed that they always
seemed to prefer each other’s society to that
of any other persons. They nearly always
played together; and, so accustomed was
their mother to this peculiarity, that when-
ever both of them chanced to be lost, she
usually hunted for one of .them—satisfied
that when she found that one she would
find his brother somewhere in the im-
mediate neighborhood. And yet these
creatures were ignorant and unlettered—
barbariaus themselves, and the offspring of
barbarians, who knew not the light of
philosophy and science. What a withering
rebuke is this to our boasted civilization,
with its quarrellings, its wranglings, and
its separation of brothers.
As men, the twins have not always lived
in perfect accord ; but still there has always
been a bond between them which made
them unwilling to go away from each other
and dwell apart. They have even occupied '
the same house, as a general thing, and it is
believed that they have never failed to even
sleep together on any night 'since they
were born. How surely do the habits of
a lifetime become second nature to us!
The Twins alwaysgo to bed at the same
time;but Chang usually gets up an hour
before his brother. By an understanding
'between themselves, Chang does all the in-
door work and Eng runs all the errands.
This is because Eng likes to go but;
Chang's habits are {sedentary However,
hang always goes along. Engis aBaptist,
but Chang is a Roman Catholic; still to
please his brother, Chang consented to be
baptized at the same time that Eng was, on
condition that it should not "‘count."
During the war they were strong partisans,
and both fought gallantly all through the
great struggle-Eng on the Union side and
Chang on the Confederate. They took
each other prisioners at Seven Oaks, but
the proofs of capture were so evenly balanc-
ed in favor of each that a general army
court had to be assembled to determine
which one was proper] the captor and
which the captive. T e jury was unable
to agree for' a long time; but— the yexed
questiomwas finally decided by agreeing to
,consider them both prisoners and then exo
changing them. At one time Chang was
convicted of disobedience of orders, and
sentenced to ten days in the guard-house,
but Eng, in spite of all arguments, felt
obliged to share his imprisonment, notwith-
standing he himself was entirely innocent ;
and so to save the blameless brother from
suffering, they had to discharge both from
custody- the just reward of faithfulness.
Upon one occasion the brothers fell out
about something, and Chang knocked Eng
down, and then tripped and fell on him,
whereupon both clinched and began to beat
and gouge each other without mercy. The
bystanders interfered-and tried to separate
them, but they could not do it, and so ‘al- ‘
lowed them to fight it out. In the end both
were disabled, and were carried to the
hospital on one and the same shutter.
Their ancient habit of going always to-
gether had its drawbacks when they reach-
ed man’s estate, and entered upon the luxu-
ry of courting. Both'fcll in love’ with the
same girl. Each tried to steal clandestine
interviews with her, but at the critical
moment the other would always turn up.
B -and-by Eng saw with distraction, that
C ang had won the girl's afi'ections; and
from that day forth, he had to bear with
the agony of being .a witness to all their
dainty billing and cooing. But with a mag-
nanimity that did him infinite credit, he suc-
cumbed to his fate, and gave countenance
and encouragement to a state of things that
bid fair to sunder his generous heart-strings.
He sat from seven every evening until two
in the morning, listening to the fond foolish-
ness of the two loves-s, and to the concussion
of hundreds of squandered kisses—for the
privilege of sharingI only one of which he
would have given is right hand. But he
sat patiently and waited, and gaped, and
yawned, and stretched, and longed for two
o’clock to come. And he took long walks
with the lovers on moonlight evenings—
sometimes traversing ten miles, notwith-
standing he was usually suifering from
rheumatism. He is an inveterate smoker;
but he could not smoke on’ these occasions,
because the young lady was painfully sensi-
tive to the smell of tobacco. lug cordially
wanted them married, and done with it;
but although Chang often asked the momen-
tous question, the young lady could not
other sufiicient courage to answer it while
ng was by. However on one occasion,
after having walked some sixteen miles
and sat up till nearly daylight, Eng dropped
asleep, from sheer exhaustion, and the
question was asked and answered. The
lovers were married. All acquainted with
the circumstances applauded the noble
brotheroin-law. His unwavering faithful-
ness was the theme of every tongue. He-
had staid by them through their long and
ardous courtship; and,when at last, they
were married, he lifted his hands above
their heads, and said with impressive
unction, "Bless ye, my children, I will never
desert ye i" and he kept his word. Ma -
nanimity like this is all too rare in this
cold world. .
By-and- by Eng fell in love with his Sister-in-
law ’s sister, and married her, and since that
day they have all lived together, night and
day, in an exceeding sociability which is
touching and beautiful to behold, and is a
scathing rebuke to our boasted civilization.
The sympathy existing between these
two brothers is so close and so refined that
the feelings, the impulses, the emotions of
the one are instantly experienced by the
other. . When one is sick, the other is sick;
when one feels pain, the other; feels it; when
one is angered, the other's temper takes
fire. We have already seen with what
happy felicity they both fell in love with
the same girl. Now, Chang is bitterly op-
posed to all forms of intemperance, on
principle; but Eng is the reverse—for, while
these men's feelings and emotions are so
closely wedded, their reasoning faculties
are unfettered; their thoughts are free.
Chang belongs to the Good Templars, and
is a hard-working and enthusiastic sup-
porter of all temperance reforms. But. to
his bitter distress every now and then Eng
ets drunk, and, of course that makes
‘hang drunk too. This unfortunate thing
has been a great sorrow to Chang, for it
almost destroys .hisglset‘ulness in his favcro
ite field ofefi'ort. As sure as he is to head
a great temperance procession Eng rouges
up along side of him, prompt to the minute,
and drunk as 9. lord; but no more dismally
and hopelessly drunk than his brother who
has not tasted a drop. And so the two
begin to boot and yell, and throw mud and
bricks at the Good Templars; and of course
they break up the procession. It would be
manifestly wrong to punish Chang for what
~
' Eng does,and, therefore, the Good Temp- .
lars accept the untoward situation, and
suffer in silence and sorrow. They have
officially and deliberately examined into
the matter, and find Chang blameless.
The have taken the two brothers and
fille Chang full of warm water and sugar
and. Eng tail of whiskey, and in twenty~five
minutes it was not possible to tell which
was the drunkest. Both were as drunk as
locus—and on hot whiskey punches, by the
smell of their breath. Yet all the while,
Chang's moral principles were unsullied,
his conscience clear; and so all just men
were forced to confess that he was not
morally, but only physically drunk. .By
every right and by every moral evidence
the man was strictly sober; and therefore,
'teaused his friends all the more anguish
0 see him shake hands with the pump, and -
r to wind his watch with his night key.
here is a moral in these solemn warn-
ings—or, at lent, a warnin in these solemn
morals , one or the other. 0 matter, it is
somehow. Let us keep it; let us profit
it. . 7' .
I could say more of an instructive nature
about these interesting‘beibgi, but let what
I have writtten sumcep .
Having forgotten to mention it sooner, I
will remark'in conclusion, that the ages of
the Siamese Twins are respectiVely fifty-
one and fifty-three years. -
