The fact is developed in Chicane .that large quantities of a material which is called"" butter and sold as such in the market; is really made of lard by a process known only to a few. One establishment in that city lias been doing d prosserous business for more than a year, and has a trade so extensive that shipments are made to Euglaud. No effort whatever is made at conceal meut. The manufacturer is frank about it, and says the compound is no more injurious than pork. A large number of restaurants are said to be using it as butter, and the report is that other manufactories are to be opened socn.

Years ago the oyster did not figure to any extent in the finances of this country, but the time has arrived when that slippery, slimy little bivalve plays quite an important part in our business transactions. It is estimated that the oyster sales in New York this winter will reach 4,500,000, and that over three thousand five hundred

persons are there err ployed in the!

trade. The exportation to European markets has also increased to such an extent that perhaps one hundred thousand barrels will be shipped this season

Very Profound. This is the easiest sort of outgiving and it cannot be contradicted nor proven. The Indiauapolis Sentinel says : " If Mr. Kerr had lived and retained his place as speaker of the house, the Democratic party would now be in possession of every department of the government, and I Iancock would be inaugurated President on the 4th of March instead of Garfield." This kind of assertion is somewhat like the proverb: "If the dog hadn't stopped to sleep he would have caught the rabbit' All the profound fools are not dead New York Dispatch. An eccentric Berlin philosopher announces that he has discovered a way to make a trip around the world ia twenty-four hours.

He says that he is informed by the captains of ships that birds are seen at sea ?. thousand miles or more from land, and pronounces it selfevident that they must reach shore in a very short time, since tbey cannot find a resting place in midocean. From this he conceived the idea that they merely raise themselves aloft, and, with only enough motion to keep afloat, remain as nearly stationary as possible, while the earth revolves around under them. All they then have to do is to wait until the desired spot on the earth's surface comes along, and thereupon comfortably lower themselves to solid ground. This ingenious practice on the part of birds the Berlin man proposes to imitate ior mankind, with the assistance of a baloon and passenger car of peculiar construction that he has invented, and with which he will soar aloft and remain stationary, while the restless earth rolls oa below. It does not appear that he has successfully tried a trip with his balloon himself, but he has laid his theory before the Polytechnic Society of Berlin and given an elaborate " exposition of it. The society received it apparently with levity, but the inventor is in dead earnest.

en 'coon skin hung above the door, which the reporter entered. "What do people buy skunk oil for?" said the proprietor in his answer, repeating .the question. u Why they buy it for rheumatism, and, I say, it never fails to cure." The reporter desired to sec some pure skunk oil, having heard there were many worthless imitations abroad, and was shown a pint flask of an oily liquid of the color of linseed oil" The fluid had no more and no worse odor than lard oil, "We sell to all sorts of people, white; black, and yellow, the richest and the poorest' the proprietor continued. "This oil we get from the skins that's as much of the skunk as I get and the yield is usually about four ounces to the skin. Sometimes we get half a pint, and sometime. though seldom, as much as a pint, to the pelt. Theres tio more than one skin in a thousand that'll yield a pint of oil. The animal is thin in flesh in summer, but very fat in winter. Skunk hides, last year, the best quality, were worth from 1.75 to 2 each. They will'not be worth much more than half a? much this year. I handled 2,000 skunk skins last year, nearly all of w h i ch w e re caught in Indiana. The animal abounds iu southern and central Indiana. There are a few iu this county, not many. The skins have been worth as much as 3.50, but they'll never see that price again

not very soon, at least. "Is there any danger of the skunk crop in this State becoming exhausted?" "None at all. A skunk will have from three to seven young at a litter usually about five. I've been a fur buyer for forty-two years, and there are more

skunks in this State now than ever

There is a prejudice against the animal, which makes it necessary to sell the fur to ladies under several pre t ty a I i a ses , among w h ic h are 1 fitch ' and 6 American sable.' Besides being made into muffs and trimmings, the skins axe largely used in making fine carriage robes."

Hay is 300 a ton in San Juan county, Col. ; but that is less than it was in I860, when the price was twenty-five cents a pound. The Virginia City Enterprise says : "An old Frenchman made a snug little raise at packing grass up from Flowery District on an old horse. This grass grew in bunches about a rod apart, was about the thickness of a riding whip, and from six to eight feet long. Having no scales, the old man used to count his hay out, giving from three to five stalks for a pound. When . this kind of hay was criticised by customers, the good old man, who did his mowing with a hatchet, was wont to sav :

A New Orleans invalid bought six bottles of a patent medicine, warranted to cure the disease from which she was suffering. A notice was printed on the wrappers that the money would be refunded if, after following the directions implicitly, a complete cure was not wrought. The stuff did her no good. She demanded from the manufacturer, the 9 which she had paid him. He refused it. She has

besrnri a suit, and her lawyer assures her that, as she obeyed directions in every particular, she has a dear case. Memphis also has some litigation growing out of the sale of a nostrum. In this instance a man bought of a barber a bottle of liquid to make the hair grow thicker on his head. He claims that it wot only failed to do so, but it caused what bair he had to fall out.

The Kansas newspapers declare that a physician of La Cygne, in that State, narrowly escaped lynching, because he invented a compound that would instantly sober a drunken man. Public sentiment was against anything,, that tended to cause a waste of liquor. A hollow tree in Southern California has been converted into a

A La Crosse minister prayed for those "who are smitten with illness and those who have gone a fishing, and also those too lazy to dress for church." Some time ago a number of gentlemen were discussing politics in a justice's office in this city and during the conversation became rather violent in their language, " Order in the court !
