MY FATHER'S MILL.

R. L. CAREY, JR. Ah. how well I remember the old brown mill, That never was quiet the whole day long; For the noisy hopper would never keep still, And the wheels forever were humming a song. As they answered the poor man's whispered prayer ' , . That he oreathed each night by his lonely bed, While the dust huug thh-k in the troubled air We are grinding for, Uod. Thy daily bread." Oh, the old mill's loft was a haunted place, And the dust lay thick on the rough board floor, WhHf mvr the rafters the rats would race When 1 laid my hand on its shrunken door. Hungry, scurrying, scampering byThen jeering out from their holes at me With a friendly dod and laughing eye. That said, "We are sealing th. corn, you see." But the miller that stood, with his dusty coat. Whistling low in the olu mill door. And setting the ghost of a song ailoat On the air, has crossed to the other shore, Carrysng with him the dreams he dreamed, As" the yellow meal lite a cloud unrolled From the wooden spout in the wall, and streamed To the floor beneath in a shower of gold. While t stranger stands in the miller's place With a coat as white as the one he wore. And two black eyes from a red round face Peer out at me from the open door; And I hear the hum of the whirling wheel9 That turn the stones with a giant's power. And I see the dust as it noiseless steals Through the old brown mill, like the ghost of Hour, Ah, me, how the years have marched along Since I tied the ba's iu that dingy place, Wnere th'- wheels kept time to the miller s song. And tbe buckets laughed In their upward race. But still I hear in mv dreams to-day The sound of the hopper, never still, And I fancv I see the rats at play lu the haunted loft of my lather's mill. New Orleans Times. KAIX A5D R03IAXCE. The Fair Occupants ot Ivy Glen and Their Unbidden Guest. "To let?" said the agent. "Ready furn ished? For a month? Really, ladies, I'm very much afraid that 1 haven t any prop erty in mv hands not at present, at leastthat will meet your expectations. I've plenty f unfurnished houses, and plenty to rent for a year. But for a month? There isn't anv such real estate in the market there isn't indeed." "We don't want an unfurnished house," said Amrela Frost. "And we have no occasion to use a house for a year," added Josephine, her tall, blooming young sister." "Weare sehool teachers," Miss Angela ex plained, "and we have just a month's vaca tion; and we want to spend it in a healthful country resort, where I can botanize, and where my sifter can sketch in water colors from nature." "Indeed, I'm very sorry, ladies, but I do not think there is any property in the market thereabout that would meet your ideas." Tho ladies went slowly out of the stuffy little nom with its high desk, its floor covered witlt cheap oilcloth, and an atmosphere of tobacco smoke. "I'm sorry, Angl," said the younger. "The air of those pine-wooded glens is the very thins; for your asthma." "And the little river in the deep gorge is such an exquisite study for your paintings, Jo," said Angela Frost, fondly. "Couldn't we live in a barn?" suggested Jo, with a co'iitcal arch of he eyebrows. "I'm afraid nt," said Angela. The real estate agent, in the meanwhile, had hardly smoked a pipe and read the local paper before the door burst open and a sh'jrt, stout ledy in a pink hat and feathers name in. "Mr. Muggeriflge," said she, handing him a key, "you may let Ivy Glen or you may sell it ready furnished, with a cow, a poultry house and a twjny chaise thrown in." "Madam," said Mugeridge, bewildered. "I'm tired ot it," said the lady. "You couldn't let it for a month?" experimentally hazarded Mr. Mujrgeridge. "I'd let it for three days," said the lady. "I could lind you tenants for a month," said the agent. "There's the key." And away she went ; and Mr. Mugge ridge clapped his hat on the back of his head and set otr, in hot haste, to the hotel, for an in terview with the two vounjr ladies who had so recently left his office. And so it happened that Jo and Angel Frost took triumphat possession of Ivy Glen, a romantic cottage, half covered with the dark preen, glossy leaves of the vine from which it derived its name, with a boudoir, piano, all the pictures garlanded with vressed autumn leaves, and a library of novels. "Mrs. Fitch must have been a very literary person,''' said Jo. "And musical," added Angel. "As for a servant, one would only be a nuisance," Jo. "I'll groom the pony myself," said Angel. "He's no bigger than a Newfoundland dog the darling." "And I'll milk the cow and feed the dear little chickens." declared pretty Jo. "It's really an earthly paradise," said the elder sister. "So it is," assented Jo. The sisters passed three days of unmitigated happiness in the deep ravines and cool, tlower-enameled woods that surrounded Ivy Glen. Angela made various valuable additions to her herbarium, and Jo sketched leafy nooks, bits of falling water and sunset effects to her heart's content, until finally a good old-fashioned rain storm set in, of a July afternoon and imprisoned them in the cot tage parlor. "How stupid this is!" said Jo, starting up from her book, as the twilight shadows brooded darker and darker in the room. "Let's go down to the barn and talk to Dick and Frizzle. Poor dears! They must be as lonesome as we are. Dick was the pony and t nzzle was the cow, and Jo and Angela were already upon the most affectionate terms of intimacy with them. It was quite dusk, when Marmaduke Framingham opened the hall door and strode in. shaking the rain-drops from his shoulders, as if he had been a huge Xew soundland dog. and flinging his fishing-creel and tackle on the table. "IjOU! he called, all over the house, in a cheerj', stentorian voice "Louisa!" But, as might be exacted, no answer was returned; and he went up to acertain pretty little circular-walled room, where he had been wont to keep his slippers, gun-case and sundry other masculine appurtenances, when sojourning with his sister, Mrs. t itch, at Ivy ulen. "It's as quiet here," he muttered, under his breath, "a3 an enchanted castle. here is Lou? Where are the children?" But he paused on the threshold. Even by the waning twilight he could terceive that a general transformation had taken place. A pretty easel stood near the window, the tall standards of the old-fashioned dressing burea were knotted with blue ribbons, the chairs were freshly draped with chintz, and a fairy work-basket stood -' beside the sofa. while upon the table lay a flower-twined gipsy hat, a buncli or wild flowers and a pair of the tiniest gauntlet cloves that Mr, Framingham had ever set eyes upon. "Hello!" said Marmaduke; "Lou's got girl company. And she's put 'em in here, by Jove: ' He struck a match, lighted the prettily painted candles in the brass sconces, and stared blankly around liim. At the same moment a clear, rlute-like voice sounded below stairs. "Come in. Angel, quick! Goodness, how the rain drives in at the door. What's this in the hall? A man's coat!" "Burglars" shrieked Miss Angela, who was not as strong-minded in practice as she was in theory. "And there's a light np stairs," cried Jo. "Preserve us," said Angela, beginning to tremble; "the house is on tire. Jo. Jo. don't stir a step. I insist that you shall not go up stairs. But Mis3 Josephine deftly evaded her sister's grasp, and rushed directly up to the little apartment which she had confiscated to her own use. "Who are you, sir?" she sternly demanded, as, standing in the doorway, her gaze fell upon Mr. Marmaduke Framingham. "I I beg your pardon," began that gentleman. "Leave the house!" said Jo. "Jo, Jo, don't" pleaded Angela, who had crept up in her sister's shadow and was now tugging at her dress. "Ferhaps he's got a band of accomplices outside perhaps lie is a crazy man!" ,

"Ladies," said Mr. Framingham, "if you will only permit me to explain " "Nothing can explain an intrusion like this!" declared Josephine. "Mv sister. Mrs. r itch, the occupant of

! this house " "We are the occupants of this house' inexorably interposed Miss Frost. "Mrs. Fitch left the premises three days ago." "I assure you," said Marmaduke, "that I was quite ignorant of any such arrangement. I have been on a fishing excursion up the hill, and supposed, of course, that my sister was here " "I'm quite sure he is a crazy man," interposed Angel, sotto voce. "And as it is such a stormy night, I beg only to be allowed to stop in the barn," concluded the supplicant. "Your sister left word for you at the Dairy Farm," said Jo, severely. "But I came round bv the other road," said Mr. Framingham, abruptly. The humor of the thing was too much for Jo she burst out laughing. "Angel, do stop twitching, my dear," said she. "Yes, vou may sleep in the barn, Mr. Mr. " "Framingham, at your service." "Mr. Framingham, then," said Jo. "But you must have some tea with us first I am going to cut some cold tongue, and Angel will make fritters, and we have M. Blot's recipe for chocolate. I'm really sorry I mistook you for a burglar." "Or a crazy man," said Angel, apologetically. . "And we will entertain you as hospitably as we can," added Jo, with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. Mr. Marmaduke Framingham was afterward heard to say that he never spent so delightful an evening before in his life. He engaged board at the Dairy Farm the next 'day, and instead of following his sister to the city, stayed down among the glens and braes. And when Josephine Frost's month of vacation had expired she went back to the city to resign her position" in the grammar school. "I'm going to be married," she confessed. blushing very prettily, when the mistress asked why. bo Miss Angela r rost went on alone with her career, and Mrs. Marmaduke Framing ham settled down for life at Ivy Glen. "For." said she, "I think it is the sweetest spot in all the world." "So do I! said her young husband. Making the Best of It. There is no element that enters more largely into the happiness and general com fort of society than the disposition to make the best of what happens. Good and evil, or what we esteem as such, come to us all at different times and in various ways, but tho message they bring and the effect thev pro duce are chiefly determined by the way we receive them. There are some persons who really seem to tax their powers of ingenuity to the utmoft in making the worst of everything. Does prosperity attend their labors? Are they in good health f Are their families happy and united? Are their social relations agreeable? They receive it all without re joicing, as a matter ot course ana only what they had a right to expect. Does adversity visit them in any form? No complaints are bitter enough to suit their particular cases; no reproaches are severe enough to cast upon any one who may be thought instrumental iu bringing it on; no presentation ot their troubles can bo too highly colored or too miDute in detail to inflict upon whoever id willing to listen to it. They absorb all the sympathy and consolation of their friends, without allowing themselves to be comforted or consoled, and even resent any effort to show them a brighter side as an attempt to make light of their affliction. So engrossed are they in cherishing their sorrows, and recounting them to others, in . dwelling upon the very worst side, and treasuring it up, lest they should forget any of its bitterness, that it is only with the greatest difficulty that they can be induced to turn at length to the future and throw themselves into its duties and its hopes. On the other hand, there are those who place t e emphasis of their lives upon the happy side. They dwell with pleasure upon all the joys that come to them; they speak freely and gratefully of them, and thus com municate something of their own gladness to others. They take also a sincere interest in the various pleasures of their friends, inhreasing them by their genial sympathy and . . . , n.i ?i nearty congratulations. v nen lauure or disappointment, bereavement or misfortune overtakes them, though sunenng as keenly and grieving a3 deeply as any, they shrink from making loud laments or inflicting needless pain upon others. They instinctively feel that the time has come for silence and privacy, and that the lesson to be learned is that of patient endurance and a brave return to cheerfulness and duty. They do not refuse to look upon the brighter side of the cloud, they do not utterly lose heart and hope, they do not bury themselves in a selfish indulgence of sorrow, but rather strive to bury their sorrow in their own hearts, and rise with accumulated strength to the duties of the present and the hopes of the future. Not onlv are the grave and serious events of life received thus differently, but also the little every day details, upon which so much of our comfort and pleasure depends. Some persons live in a perpetual state of Iret. lhe weather is always objectionable; the temperature is never satisfactory. They have too much to do, and are driven to death, or too little, and have no resources. If they are sick they know they shall never gei. well; if they are well, they expect soon to be sick. Something is sure to disturb their sleep; their food is never quite to their taste; they have corns which every one treads on, or a toothache whicn no ono realizes, i neir daily work ia either drudgery, -which they hate, or bo difficult and complex that they cannot execute it. lo hear the prolonged recital of their petty woes one would think they were the mos, persecuted ot mortals; ana wnen peo'jie BnrinK from the disagreeable catalogue their lack of sympathy adds another drop to their cup of troubles. Yet these people have no more real cause for repining than the rest of the world. 1 hey are more wretcnea, it. is true, and spread their wretchedness with a liberal hand around them, but that ja simply because they emphasize all that is unpleasant and ignore the rest, thus making the worst they can or Dotn. In contrast to these, we sometimes meet with men and women, so bright and cheery that their very presence is a positive pleas ure. They discover the tavorabie eiue ox the weather, of their business, of home sur roundings, of social relations, even or political affairs. They will tell you of all the pleasant things that happen, and give voice to all the joy they feel. Of course they are sometimes annoyed, perplexed and worried by petty troubles, but the very effort they make to pass them over silently diminishes their unpleasant effect upon themselves, and prevents tho influence from extending. To make the best of the thousand details of every-day life, as they arise, is a great power for good in human life, and one which every man and every woman can wield. Then, too, we can make the beet of one another. There is plenty of room for praise and for blame in every one one we meet1 Virtue and demerit, intelligence and folly, strength and weakness, are mingled in every variety and degree. Here also the question of emphasis comes in. When we pick a person to pieces, expose his follies, criticise" bis manners. Question his motives and condemn his actions, we are making, not tho best, but the worst of him. If, on the contrary, we search for his crood noints and bring them to the front; if we make all allowances for his faults and errorä and withdraw them rs much as possible from the notice of others, we are making the best of him, both in ap. pearance and in reality. In shielding his reputation we are preserving for him the respect of others, which goes far toward Eromoting his own self- respect. Every one as at times lelt the spur to good conduct that is given by tho consciousness that others think well of him and expect goo4 things of him. It arouses all the energy of the nature

to retain such esteem, and to prove that it

was not unmerited, ah gooa ana an evil may be largely strengthened and developed by being drawn attention, and may likewise be weakened and crushed by being ignored or dropped out of sight. Inus, when by our emphasis we are honestly making the best of things and of people, we aro not only increasing the happiness of the world, but also strengthening and enhancing the good that is in it. Some Plain Facts to be Digested. Detroit Free Press. The other dav a stranger walked into Woodward avenue establishment employing about ninety people, and inquired: "Have vou any liars in your employ?" "Yes, sir; we have at least sixty!" was the piompt reply. If vou wefe to go up and down the coun try asking each man you met if he knew of the whereabouts of a liar you would discover that GO per cent, of the opnlation of this country could be included under that head. You meet liars on every corner, you pass them on every block; you sit beside them on everv street car, and lying has be come such a custom that liars are as well thought of as truth-tellers. What do people lie about? Everything. First on the list is the weather liar, ract is. unless a man is prepared to tell a big lie about the heat or cold he'd better keep still altoge-fcr. Coming down in the car or a morning we all like to hear some one say that it is fortv-eight degrees below at Fort Garry, and the liar knows this failing, and lies to please the crowd. Eight men out of ten. if asked if they ever saw a hotter or a colder day, will at once reply in the athrmative and draw on their imagination for facts. On a Jefferson avenue car a few days ago a business man, whose word is as good as gold in business circles, was asked if he ever saw more than three feet of snow in the streets of Detroit. Without the least hesitation he replied: "I should say I had! In 1SÖ9 the snowwas five feet deep along here, and I kept two teams at work for three days hauling the snow oil' my front. We had sleighing that winter until the 28th of March. .Snow fell on the 3d of November and lasted right through without a thaw." It was afterward ascertained that the man va', in France from July, ls.", to October, If til. Why did he lie? "Simply because no American will take a bluff. When you ask hi in if he has seen this or that you invite hni to lie, or at least he feels that you do. T"ll him a strange story and he feels that he must tell a stranger one, A case in point occurred in the othce of one of the hotels a few evenings since. A party of gentlemen were talking about the New York obelisk, when one of them observed : "The Pyramids of Egypt mut be a grand stght. Yont some ot v-u who have seen them tell me exactly h.v iiioy look to modem eyes?" Thereupon a man who wa never further East than New York, or further West than Chicago, gave a detailed description of Iiis visit to the great wonders, and described every little detail so particularly and pleasantly that he was voted a bottle of wine. Why did he lie? Simply because he was invited to. Indeed, he fel t that the questioner would be disajrpointed if he did not. I Men will lie about horses when they would scorn to approach an untruth on any other subject. Last fall a citizen purchased a horse back in the country on the understanding that the horse was reasonably fast. TlTat is, the seller said the horse could jog along in about three minutes, lie lied at least twenty seconds in that "about." The new owner at once told all his friends that he had secured an equine which could "get there" in 2-30. He lied plump thirty seconds. In a few weeks it was generally understood that the horse was fast, and more than one person asserted that they had seen him trot in 2:32 at Recreation Bark, al though he was never inside the fence. When the snow came, and the "llyers" were given rein, it was found that the 2:30 horse was nowliere. First and last, fifty men had lied a .'out his speed, anil yet he had none. The newspapers come in contact with the liar every hour in t lie day. Let a man fall from the roof of a shed on High street and break his arm, and the news travels about as toliows: One block away "Broke both arms." Two blocks away "Roth arms and a leg." Three blocks away "Mashed all to pieces, and was dead when they picked him up." Four blocks away "Committed suicide." Five blocks away "Shot his wife and then blew his head off' At the City Hall "Set fire to his house, brained the baby, stabbed his wife and then blew himself up." Every inducement is held out for reporters to exaggerate. Indeed, plain facts are of no interest to hundreds of readers. Young Married Folks. Young married people always take a trip somewherf , any whereto getaway from familiar faces. Ihey are tobe met in the cars and hotels at every turn, and, as they say in the back country, the woods are full of them. They are a distinct species, and just as certainly known for what they are as any of the animal kind. Who can fail to recognize the following picture painted from sketches on the spot by a Philadelphia Times artist. lo watch these young lovers, not yet at all settled down into ihe sober certainty of wedded bliss, is better than going to a play. For the life of them they can not keep constantly in mind that they are more or less cn exhibition; and so, insensibly, they drop into little tendernesses which they would be careful enough to avoid could they only remember bless their innocent hearts that they are not in a blooming desert dedicated to love, but in a crowded railway car, that is dedicated, mainly, to envy, hatred, malice and all uncharitablencss. In all simplicity and sin cerity, forgetful of everything but each other, they bill and coo until of a sudden, seeing somewhere agrinding, malicious face, they do remember where they are and how unsympathetic are their surroundings; and then they will pull up short. Ina deliriously conscious way they draw apart from each other as far as the seat will let them go, She turns with a sudden enthusiasm to con templationof the landscape; though what there is about tne landscape to give her such a charming color, the unprejudiced observer fails to see. He turns to his newspaper with an equal affectation to eargernes; and again the unprejudiced observer is puzzled this time to understand how a man with normally constituted eyes possible can read a newspaper that he is holding upside down. Having established these antipodal ositions, the soft young things remain keenly alive to the conventional requirements of society and for a season are oevereiy decorous. But it does not last. Gradually she turns a little from the window and he aVittle turns from the news paper that he is reading under such ocular difficulties. He edges up and asks a question; she edges up and makes reply and before they know it they are spooning away again as hard as ever they can spoon! A Chat with the Notorious North Carolina Outlaw in Asheville Jail. Ashevim.e, April 30. Your correspondent found Redmond, the famous North Carolina outlaw, willing to be interviewed today. He was captured in Swain County, the wildest portion of the Blue Ridge country, April 7, and brought to Asheville on the 24th. The noted distiller of "the dewdrop" lay on a bed of straw stretched in front of a window, enjoying the cool mountain breeze. He extended his weatherStained hand and asked his visitor to be seated. Before us lay the great moonshiner, the dread of the Deputy Marshals, who for five stormy years has defied the civil authority and bail led the revenue ollicers. "Major Redmond, where do you get your title? You look young to have been a participant in the late war." "No, sir; I wasn t in the war, replied the Major. "I am just twenty-six years old. Mv title is a nickname criven me when a boy." In reply to further questions the Ma ior told the following story of his life: "I'm a farmer. I had cot some lands leased, and had begun clearing up my fields. 1 had the timber cut down, and the land was nearly ready to be broke up when this trouble come on me. It was 10 o'clock one morning 'long 'bout the first week in this month, when my wife asked me to step out into tha edge of theclearin' 'round the house and kill her a squirrel or two. She said that she heerd the dogs a barkin' up in the edge of the woods, and she 'lowed they'd treed

one up thar. I got down the shotgun and started up the ridge on t'othei side of the house. When I got in about fifty yards of the dogs, 'bout half a dozen men stepped out

from a clift and hollered 'Halt.' 1 knowed them wasn't no squirrels, and I turned round and left. They kept hollerin' 'Halt' and a sbootin', and every once in a while I'd feel a bullet hit me. They followed after me and kept on shootin , and every once in a while a hitting of me, till at last they cotched up with me in the holler, about 200 yards from the house." "In how many places were you wounded?" "Seven places, sir. I'm suflerin' a power ful sight from em now." Notwithstanding the farmers innocent air, it is generally known that he shot down Deputy Marshal Duckworth, who tried to arrest him in 1877 in Transylvania County for alleged violations of the revenue law. He lied to South Carolina. There his wagon and team were seized by a small special force of revenue officers, but he escaped them. But a few hours elapsed before he is said to have returned to the place at which the ollicers l ad his wagon and team, and, with the mild persuasion of a doublebarreled shot-gun, induced them to restore the confiscated articles. Jumping into his wagon again, he drove to his mountain haunts, known as "The Dark Corner." In 1879 Redmond went to Swain County. His reputation had preceded him. He told the credulous mountaineers that he was bullet proof, and they never thought of an effort to arrest him. lie is reporte'd to have said: "There are not enough men in Swain County to arrest me." One hardy man once- said, in response to the averment that he (Redmond) could not be arrested that he could arrest him. Some friend of Redmond's told him of this remark. Redmond went to the man, and, catching him bjr the collor, shook him as a dog would a rabbit Collector Mott, of the Western District of North Carelina, hearing of the desperate character of Redmond, instructed Captain Cobb, of the special force for that part of the State, to take six of his best men and capture the outlaw. Captain Cobb failed. His posse rushed in at each door or Kedmonu s cabin, having heard him in there but a few minutes before. On gaining entrance, he was not to be found. There were no win dows to the houe, and it was afterward discovered that he had made his escape by way of the low, wide chimney. HOUSEHOLD KNOWLEDGE. Si'ringfi eld Soda Biscuit. One quart flour, one pint milk, piece of butter 6ize of an egg, ono teaspooniui soda dissolved in milk, two teaspoonmls cream tartar sifted in flour, with salt. Marlhouolgh Pie. Grate fix apples one cup sugnr, inrec tat.iespoons melted butter, four eg;?, juice and grated rind of a lemon, two tablespoons brandy or wine, if vou choose; if not omit it. Bake in an un der, but without top crust. Roast Lamb. Put the lamb in the drip ping pan with a little hot water in the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and a little pepper, ßusto often and allow eight or nine minutes to a pound. When done take the grease off the gravy, make it Dubblo on top of the stove and make a thickening of browned flour. Parsnips Improved. Parsnips are not fully appreciated, perhaps because of their too sweet taste; but this can be overcome to palalible extent by judicious cooking. They are excellent when sliced after boiling and wanned in a sauce made by mixing flour, butter ahd milk over the fire and seasoning it with slt and pepper, as soon as thev are w.-trm they are served with a little chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon mice. For parsnips fried brown in an olt'-tashioncd iron pot with slices of salt pork and a sea soning of salt and pepper, several cood words might be said. DiriiTH ekia. In tbe hill towns and ru ral districts generally, typhoid and diphthe ria prevail, as well as in the crowded city. The causd is alwaj-s to be looked for in the careless sanitary habits of the people. The want of cleanliness and ventilation in the cellars, tho decaying potatoes, apples and cabbages, old rotten cider barrels and soap and grease tubs, piles of filthy dirt, rags mingled with ashes on which rats and cats have had nigbtly battles, tho damp air, and oftentimes collections of water, and a tem perature favorable to organic decomposition all the e are conditions prolific in the for mation of infecting poisons and in increas ing the incomes of physicians. A noel Food. Here i3 a recipe for "Angel Food," the delicious white cake which has become so popular. In taste and appeearance it is everything that cake should be: Tho white of eleven eggs, one cup of flour alter silting, one teaspoonful of cream tartar, Sift the flour and cream tartar four times. Beat tho eggs to a stiff froth, and thm beat in one and one-half cups granulated sugar, and a teaspoonful vanilla. Add the flour and beat lightly but thoroughly. Bake in an ungreased pan, slowly, forty minutes, The pan should have a tin strip projecting above each corner, in order that when it is turned over to cool, the air may circulate treciy under it. Cut it out when cooL The pan should be a new ono. An ordinary pan will answer, if it be set on the edges ot two other pans to cool. Sometimes housekeepers will find that this cake bakes beautifully in an earthen dish. It is necessary that the oven should bo a slow one; if it is very hot the door may be left open. The cake should rise gradually. Foisox in Candies. In the statistical repor; of the conlectionery trade it is stated 'that most of the large manufacturers adulterate their goods largely with grape sugar, glucose, terra alba, or white earth, and other injurious ingredients, and can thus afford to sell their products for less price than the small manufacturers pay for sugar. They also say that they can not use these adulterations in their way of manufacturing, and would not if they could; that if the authori ties continue to allow the adulterated goods t be sold as sugar candies, the honest manu facturers will have to leave the buiness or retail the adulterated goods of the largo houses. The cost of granulated sugar by tho barrel is ten and a-half cents, while that of grape sugar and glucose is four cents, and ol terra alba one cent, lney allege that the adulteration is from 50 to 75 per cent, of the whole, and in gum-drops much more. Thev say that the consumption of these adulterated candies is the cause of more sick nessand death among the children of New York Citv than all the sewer gas and dirty streets combined."
