You who knew where the milk you use
comes from, can‘t imagine the doubt that he-
sets the New Yorker. as he pours what be Is
obliged to accept as milk, into coffee, 0" If 3
mother, gives it to her baby. Years ago. “19
Guy was excited by the statements made of
milk produced from distillery-fed cows, and
all will remember the horrible pictures of
cows in every stage of disease, which were
being milked regularly, as long as they could
stand. It was a fact that milk was sold in
the city, from cows fed on distilled slope,
that ndver left their stalls, and were milked
till they absolutely rotted, There is another
laid on milkmen now, the charge being less
serious, but just about as annoying. You all
know of the little girl fromNew York who
spent some days at a cousin's in the country
On her return she was asked how she liked
it. “Very well.” was the answer, “only I
don‘t think that Sasy's Inn is a clean woman.
The milk we had had a yellow scum on the
top of it, and wasn't as pretty as the nice
blue milk I get at home." The trouble now
is the milk is too blue, and as there is a very
stringent law against adulterating milk, the
citizens have taken it up, and are promcuting
the mitkm‘en, right and left. A dozen of
them were arrested, and a test case was made
of orie. ‘-In‘thiscase samples of miik'regu-
lariy sold to consumers, were tested with the
lactometer, and it was discovered that the
compound could be hardly called milk at all.
There was a basis of pure milk, the rest was
water, reinforced with sugar, chalk, and all
sorts of nastiness, to give it consistency and
body. And of the hundred samples examin-
ed not one was found pure or even fit for
use. The “Orange County" milkmen, whose
pastures are stables just out of the city, had
a trick of keeping the milk from soaring by
the use of chemicals, and all sorts of dodges
were shown up. Thousands of the best fam-
ilies use condensed milk, the purity of which
is.well established, but the appearance of the
compound is so against it, it doesn't look like
milk. The prosecution succeeded in getting
the seller, whose case was made a test, into
the Times, with a fine of $250, whereupon
the Milk Dealers Association, true to stump-
tail, promptly appealed the case.
It will take along fight to get. decent milk
.in New York. The milkmen have retained
the best legal talent in the cityy'hnd will make
a deqlerate fight. But the people will win.
The proposition is to have inspectors appoint-
ed, with the best appliances for testing milk,
and to pour into th street every can that has
been watered or sophisticated in any way.
“Pure milk or none," is the war-cry, now.
REAL ES .
teal estate is still depressed, and there are
no signs of improvément. There are but few
sales reported, and the number of empty
lionses and stores is frightful. Occasionally a
sale is made, but it is always at figures less
than half the price of four years ago, and
then the purchaser is not sure that he, has a
bargain. .
Vacant lots nobody will take. When the
great boulevard was open in the upper part
of New York, the ring was on hand for bar-
gains. On the line ofit'Connelly built his
magnificent dwelling:- " thespublic expense.
Genet placed his 11:, luéfipificent house,
built on the sameterms, heir Connolly‘s.
Tom Fields boughfo , nt’nlansmn on the
boulevard with Sixteen _Ity'" lots. Nobody
placed its value. whenfilie, great drive was
opened at less thanitgw. One of our
most prudent cash companies loaned on the
estate $50,000. 'It wais's01d under a foreclo-
sure, and the company had to buy it in. It
is in market at $40,000; with no takers.
A business property near the Trtbum office
was encumbered with a mortgage of $25,000.
So good was it considered that a second mort-
gage for $15000 was placed upon it, and af-
terwardsa third for $10,000, and the third
mortgage was considered perfectly safe. It
was sold last week, by the sheriff, for $21,-
000! And in this fearfulvdepression lies the
secret of the failures of the banks and insur-
ance companies. They had'their saws
capital loaned on what was considered excel-
lent real estate security; but the shrinkage
in values left them without any security at
all. They had to foreclose,and to save them-
selves bid in the property, which, as in most
cases it stood empty, left them withoatan in;
come. The city is going through a terrible
season, and no one expects that real estate
will ever get back to old figures.
rsrmaas.
Are coming thick and fast. The end of the
year forces settlements, and the weak ones
cannot avoid exposing their weakness, and
are going to the wall. Many of them are
honest failures, but the vast: majority are of
men who have had no right to be in business
for three years. The trouble is just begun.
But it is for thebest after all. It is very
much like a sick man taking medicine—the
drug makes him sicker, but the foul matter is
thrown off and he comes outfbetter than ever.
The hard times are simply weeding out those
who were never entitled to credit, and here-
after business will be on a better basis. But
it is ugly, just now.‘

sober, decorous calls upon their friends, as
did the old Dutch, when New York was a
Village. Young New York arrays itself in
gorgeous attire, and hires a costly carriage,
and enters into rivalry as to the number of
calls possible to be made. And as, despite
the short of the temperance people to keep
liquors oi the tables of those receiving, the
vast majority did have wines and col-dials.
Young New York got aboutasf full as usual,
and arose the next morning with a villainous
headache, and a total mm. for lamina“
From'the. corner of Broadway and 'Four-
teenth street; at eight o’clock'p. m., I, count-
ed eight parties, not am of whom could
stand truly erect, and they were still making
calls. One young 'sprig at. ten boasted that
he made three hundred calls, “and I" should
have made two hundred more, only 'I was too
full.” Not one in ten; of them can adord the.
carriage that they Yoda in,-lind to say nothing
of the gorgeous clothes they wore. A car-

purtenances makes it cost the youngman ful-
]y $100. This is all well enough for the heir
to an estate, but the counter-jumpers, who
makes up the mass of callers, finds it digs
viciously into their $1,000.
DAVID DUDLEY FIELD.
The “Reform" democracy have elected Da-
vid Dudley Field for Congress, in the place
of Smith Ely, elected Mayor. Fields is a
fair representative of the democratic reform.
He was Tweed's right bower, and if there is
an unscrupulous trader in politics and spoils
in New York, who is entitled, after Tilden,
to be closely watched, he is the man. There
hasn’t been a nasty thing in the city for years,
that he hasn't had his hand in,and there hasn’t
been a job since Tweed's My that he hasn't
profited by. But, as the district is over.
whelmingly democratic. he was elected, and
as he is very rich. he will be an ornament to
Washington society. We have no right to
sneer at the ignorance of the negro, when
constituencies can be found in the Northern
States to elect such men as Fields. Palarao.

A Cigar
From the-scientific American.
Scientifically Dissected.
A polite visitor, who, during his interview.
,with as, had rendered our sanctum redolent
,‘with the fumes 'of a fragrant Havana, has
final left a cigar on our table with the laugh-
§ing request that we Smoke it. Despite the
Efact that it is an exceptionally fine cigar, we
iare unable to gratify our friend’s desire, see-
,ing that we don’t smoke; but 'the thought
:occurs that we can show our appreciation
:of the gift by applying the light; not of a.
:match but of science, to it, and thus giving
'oar friéhd and his brother smokers something
tl’onder over next time “the blue up-éurl-
lag smoke" leads them to reverie.
_ To the world in general a cigar is merely
a tightly rblled packet having brittle frag-
:mc'n'ts Of dry leaves 'within, and a smooth
Silky leaf for its outer wrapper. When it is
burnt, nod thepleasantly flavored smoke in-
haled, the habitual smoker claims for it a
soothing luxury that quiets the irrit. ble,nerv-
ous organism, relieves weariness, and entices
repose. Science, scouting so superficial a de-
Scriptlon, examines first the smoke, second
ille leaf, third the ash.
In the smoke is discovered water in vapor-
pus state, soot (fl-cc carbon), carbonic acid
and carbonic oxide, and a vaporous sub-
stance condensahle into oily nicotine. These
are the general divisions, which Volll and
Eulenberg have still further split up ; and in
So doing have found acetic, formic, butyric,
end propionic acids, prussic cold, creosote,
and carbolic acid, ammonia, sulphurrettcd
hydrogen. pyridine, viridine, picoliue, luti-
dine, collodine, phrvodine, caridine, and rub-
idene. The last area series of oily basis
belonging to the homologues of aniline, first
discovered in coal tar. Applying chemical
tests to the leaves, other chemists, have
found nicotia,tobacco camphor or nicotianinc
(about which not much is known), a bitter
extractive matter, gum, chlorophyll, malate
of 'limc, sundry albuminoids, malic, acid,
woody fiber, and various salts. The feathery
white ash, which in its cohesion 4‘ white-
ness is indicative of the good cigar, yields
potash, soda, magnesia, lime, phosphoric
acid, sulphuric. acid, silica, and chlorine. Our
friend has Kindly left us a fine cigar ; bad it
been a poor cheap one, the ingredients we
should extract would be fearful and wonder-
ful to contemplate. Here is the list from an
English parliamentary report on adultero-
tions in tobacco. Sugar, alum, lime, flour or
meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpeter, fuller’s earth,
starch, malt commings, charomatc of lead,
,peat moss, molasses, burdock leaves, com-
mon salt, cndivc leaves ;0 lampblack, gum,
red dye, a black dye composed of vegetable
red, iron, and liquorice, scraps of newspaper,
cinnamon stick, cabbage leaves, and straw
brown paper.
Returning now to the smoke, or rather its
ingredients, Dr. B. W. Richardson, in his
Diseases of Modern Life, considers the effect
of the same on the body at. considerable
length, basing his conclhsions’ on actual in-
vestigation. He tells us that water, of course
is harmless ; free carbon acts mechanically
as an irritant, and tends to discolor the
secrc'tions and the teeth. Ammonia bites
the tongue, exercises a solvent influence on
the blood, excites the salivary glands, and
thus causes a desire to drink while smoking.
The tendency of carbonic acid is to produce
sleepliness, headache, and lassitude. When
a cigar is smoked badly, that is, when the
combustion of the tobacco is slow and in-
complete,carbonic oxide is produced in small
quantities, and is an active poisoning agent,
resulting in irregular motion of the heart,
vomiting, convuls'oas of the mus is, and
drowsiness. The nicotine tends to cause
tremor, palpitation of the heart, and paraly-
sis. The volatile empyreumatic substance
produces a sense of oppression and taints the
breath and surroundings of the smoker with
the well known “stale tobacco smoke"
smell. The bitter extract causes that sharp
nauseous taste peculiar to a rc-llghtcd cigar
or an old pipe.
By trying the effect of tobacco smoke on
lbwer animals, we can obtain an idea of its
influence on ourselves. Small insects are
stupeficd rapidly, but recover in fresh air.
Cold-blooded animals succumb slowly to the
smoke, birds rapidly. Some animals such
as the goat, can eat tobacco with impunity ;
but none escape the effects of the fumes.
Persons suffer most from tobacco while learn-
ing to smoke. Dr. Richardson says that the
spasmodic seizures are sometimes terrible,
especially in boys. There is a sensation of
imminent death, the heart nearly ceases to
beat, and sharp pains shoot through the
chest. Examination of inferior animals un-
der such conditions show that “the brain is
pale and empty of blood; the stomach red-
dencd in round spots, so raised and pile-like
that they resemble patches of Urecht velvet."
The blood is preternaturaliy fluid, the lungs
are as pale as those of a. dead calf, and the
heart is feebly trembling : such is the prima-
ry action of one’s first cigars
After a time, however, the body becomes
accustomed to the influences of th‘c poison ;
and when the exception of constant func-
tional disturbances (owing to the excretory
organs, notably the kidneys, being compelled
to do work not essential to their duties), no
distressing results are felt. There are num-
erous instances where the evil ‘ effects are
scarcely appreciable, the physical and nerv-
ous constitution of the smoker being capable
of resisting the influence. In many cases
copious salvation attc nds smoking, and in
this circumstance the opponents of tobacco
have found a strong argument. Still, either
to expectoratc or not to do so, is a choice of
two evils. In the latter case, the result is to
swallow the saliva charged with poisonous
matter ; in the former, the saliva needed to
prepare food for digestion is lost, and be-
sides, as it contains salts of lime in solution,
the effect is to produce large formations of
tartar on'the teeth. “Smoker’s sore throat”
is especial irritable state of the mucous mem-
brane induced by. cigar “smoking, which
soon disappears when the habit is broken off.
Tobacco smoke does not produce consump-
tion or bronchitis,'but it tends to aggravate
both maladies. Its effects on the organs of
sense is to cause, in the extreme degree, dila-
tion of the pupils of the eye, confusion of
vision, bright lines, luminous or cobweb
specks, and long retention of images on the
retina with other and analogous symptoms
affecting the ear, namely, inability to define
sounds clearly and the occurrence of a sharp
rinsing sound like that of a whistle or a bell.
Its effects on the brain is to impair the ac—
tivity of that organ and to oppress it if it be
duly nourished, but to sooth it if it be ex-
hausted. It leads to paralysis in the volition-
a1 and in the sympathetic or organic nerves,
and to over-secretion from the glandular
structures. Science was not wise enough to
prepare so formidable an indictment of the
nicotian weed as the above in King James’
time, else that monarch might have had bet-
_ter ground than his personal dislikes for
stigmatizing the habit of smoking as a “cus-
tom lothsome to the eye, hateful to the nose,
harmful to the brain, dangerous to 'the lungs,
and in the black stinking fume thereof,
nearest resembling thehorrible Stigian smoke
of the pit that is bottomless.”
And yet, despite all that Science can say,
the habit is increasing. Two centuries ago
the Turks regarded smoking as a religious
offence, and paraded a_ smoker through the
'streets of Constantinople with his pipe stuck
through his nose as a warning to others.
Who can disconnect the Turk now from the
ideas of chibouquc or nargileh, or fragrant
Latakia ? Look at the best cigar wrappers
that the world can produce, raised' on tobac-
co fields in the heart of New England, where
the Puritan fathers once visited the direst of
blue law vengeance on the wretch w‘ho pro-
faned His Maker’s handiwork by “making a
chimney of his nostrils. ” The value of our
tobacco crop last year reached nearly $30,.
000 000. We consume annually some 75,000
hogsheads of the leaf; we implied about
83,900 bails of cigars, etc., from Cuba in
1875.
What is the end of it all ? Effects On in-
dividuals likewise affect communities, these
in turn influence the'nation. No person that
smokes can be in perfect health, and an im-
perfect organism cannot reproduce a perfect,
one. - Therefore it is logical to conclude-
that, were smoking the practice. of every in-
dividual of a nation, then that people would
degenerate into a physically inferior race.
It would'follmommc
countries where smoking is most practiced,
a lower physical, and a consequently lower
intellectual, development must be found.
Such, we think, will be conceded to be true
of Spain, of Cuba, of Portugal, of Turkey,
of Greece, and of South American countries,
where those who are addicted to the habit
vastly outnumber thdse who do not smoke.
~ State Expenses.
Among the receipts and expenses of the
State of Connecticut, we find the following
as given in the Comptroller’s Report:
The receipts from all sourcesfor the Civil

This is how Mr. Tildcn got his large ma-
jority in Georgia, as told by a democratic
journal published ill that State. . At the
State election last month, it says, there was
not a single radical vote polled in the-county,
and at the presidential election there was but
two polled in the precinct, “by whom is un-
known; well,pcrhaps, that the two creatures
who attempted to dim our bright escutchcon
should remain unknown. The two radical
votes may have been polled by ncgrocs, but
wedo not know.” Two hundred negroes
came into tllc town with .tllc intention of
voting, but they changed their minds, “no
doubt," says the democratic organ, “asham-
ed of themselves. Afew white men went
amongst them and talked with them, but
could get nothing out of them. Some of the
crowd had a curiosity to see a Hayes and
Wheeler ticket and tried to find one amongst
these negroes, but they failed, as not adarky
would shows his ticket. Finally they with-
drew in good order, but looking very fool-
ish.” And this, be it remembered, in Geor-
gia,where the election was scarcely contested.
Facts about Congress.
In the history of Congress the speaker-
sbip has been geographically distributed as
follows : It has been held by Pennsylvania
three times; by Connecticut once; by new
Jersey three times ; by Maryland once, a
pro-tempore speaker; by Massachusetts six
times; by North Carolina three times, and
by one man, Nathaniel Macon; by Kentucky
eight times, Henry Clay being speaker ; by
New York twice ; by Virginia seven times ;
by New Hampshire once, pro-temporc ; by
Tennessee three times, James K. Polk being
twice speaker ; by Indiana five times, Schuy-
ler Colfax being speaker three of those five
times ; by South Carolina- once ; and by
Maine three times.
The various religious denominations have
at different times been represented in the
Chaplaincy of the two houses. Dut‘ing the
early period of the history of the new con-
gress, the Episcopalian church controlled the
Chaplaincy of the Senate for eighteen con-
gresses. Since that time the office has been
given to the Presbyterians, Baptists, Metho-
dists and Congregationalists. ’ was at
one time a Roman Catholic chap of the
Senate. In the House, on the contrary, the
Episcopalians have had but two chaplains.
The rentalning Congresses have been divided
between Methodists, Baptists, and Congrega-
tionalists, the Methodist having the office
nearly twice as many times as any other de-
nomination.
He was a finely dressed young man, and
he handed a boy a bundle and a boquet, and
said : “Now, bub, look sharp. Take this
boquet to Miss —, at No. 17 -—— street,
and take these two shirts around to the
laundry to be washed. Don‘t make a mis-
take, now.” “You bet,” replied the boy,
but of course he went directly to No. 17 —~—-
street, and handed the shirts to Miss ———-—,
and said : “Your feiler sent them, with his
compliments." The young man sought to
explain matters, but the young lady clinched
her hands and said that her letters must be
returned or there would be a lawsuit.

Is no peace for a soul
That's distracted with doubt ?
Let us know who is in,
Let us know who is out ;
For our eyes they grow dim
As on figures we gaze
That make it for Tilden,
And make it for Hayes.
0 for seers and for prophets
Like those of the Jews 1 '
They were better than papers
That plague us with news ;
They were smarter than editors,
All but daze,
Who tell us 'tis Tilden,
And tell us ’tis Hayes.
Our young men grow gray
And our fat men grow thin,
Fed on “extras" that lie
Like original sin.
Give us calm for our slambers
And peace for our days,
For we’re weary of Tilden,
And weary of Hayes.

A ConxTamsx’s Mrsraxa.— Yesterday
about noon, while the voting was going on, a
lush, long-haired, seedy-looking man rode up
on the pavement near the court house, slid
off, and hitching an emaciated pony to an
awning post, began loafing about the polls.
After he had kept this up about half an
hour without any satisfactory results, he '
sided up to a negro, who was also busy doing
nothing in particular, and whispered, “Just
pint out Sam to me.”
“What Sam ?"
“Sammy Tilden, of course, the man that's
running for office at this ’lection."
“Never heerd of him befoah—reckon he is
moved out in the country.”
The countryman then took an intelligent
. white man off to one side, and whispered.
“D’ye see Hayes about in the crowd I"
The interrogated man professed ignorance.
“Well, what I wanted to know is, whar
air them candidates that air paying $5 for
votes, like they were at last election when I
was in town 1*”
When he was told that there was no local
candidates running, and that there was no
free whiskey running. he raved and went
on like a pirate. He said the whole town
was an infernal swindle. He had come thir-
ty-five miles out of his own county to vote
here, because he thought it was a live town.
The whole darn electlon was a perfect farce
to fool people with, and he was going to let
the blamed town slide. I
And, remarking again the whole election
was a farce, he started for his pony.
As soon as a solemn-faced policeman ar-
rested him for tying his horse on the pave-
ment, the farce began to wane, and when the
Recorder fined him $10 this morning, the
farcical nature had entirely disappeared.-

No Wan roa HIM.—Old Si was standing
in a crowd-at the depot, says The Atlanta
Herald, when one of the darkeys present re-
marked :
"Ef dat wah do come, heah’s one nigger

“Wah 1’ Who’s talkin' 'bout enny wah ?"
asked old Si.
“I heerd it ’round hyar ’mong de darkeys

“Who’s gwine ter fight in dat wah ?"
“De white fokea' 'pablican pahty, dat’s my

bravery, but it's a moughty big recommen-
dashun ob deir judgmint 1"
“You are right, old man,” said a white
man near by, and Si had the crowd at Odie.

Oxr. or OLD Sl’s Summons—Old Si, says
the Atlanta Herald, went to the theatre to
see the magican performance the other night.
Next day we asked him :
"Did you see that man handle that money
last night 2"
“I did, fer afac!”
“He made it come and go in all sorts of
ways ?”
“Young boss, dat man’s pow’rful slick wid
silber munney i”
“What did you think of him, Si 2’"
“Dat man fool’d 'rounddar wid dat mun-
ney ’tell he ’roused up my ’spishions, he hid."
“Suspicious of what 1’"
“Hit teks lots of pracktiss fer ter maka

“Of course.”

A favorite programme with the hotel dcid
beat .is to hand a large sealed envelope, staf-
fed with paper, to the clerk and ask him to
take care of those “three hundred dollars for
a few days. ” The game has been played out
at one hotel. and the clerks are on their
guard. A seedy looking old man registered
at the house the other day, and after dinner
he handed the clerk an envelope marked
“$180," and asked that it be'put in the safe.
"You can’t play that game on me, mister l”
replied the clerk, and he tore the paekageia
two. As he held anthe ends his eyes began
to bulge out. He had torn eighteen new .10
bills in half, and he had insulted the owner.
One reason why he wasn’t at his post the
balance of the afternoon was because he was,
pasting those bills together.

give me something to do i" asked a flier boy
at a Michigan shingle factory, the other day.
“No," said the owner, “we are all full
now." ,
The boy looked and, and was about to go
away, when a bright thought seized upon
him, and, taming again to the owner, he in-
quired: “Don’t you need a boy to test shin-
gles oh i"
But even then the lad could get no posi-
tion, for the man had a boy of his own.—

Carlyle on Darwinism.
The sturdy old Scotch philosopher, skeptic
as he is, has not much patience with Bar‘s -
ism. He is reported to have said recon y:
“A good sort of man is this Darwin, and
well-meaning. but with very little intellect.
Ah, It's a sad and terrible thing to see nigh a
whole generation of men and women, pro-
fessing to be cultivated, looking around in a .
purblind fashion and finding no God in this
universe. I suppose it is a reaction from the
reign of cant and hollow pretense, professing
to believa what in, fact they do not believe.
And this is what we have got to. All things

der of the day. The older I grow—and I
now stand upon the brink of eternity~the
more comes back to me the sentence in the
catechism, which I learned when a child,and
the fuller and deeper its meaning becomes,—
‘What is the great end of man i". ‘To glorify
God, and'to enjoy him forever.’ No gospel
