Oleomargarine in New York. WHATEVER may be the fact in respect to the quality of oleomargarine and lard butter—whether these substances are better or worse tfian real butter: wheth'er they are harmless or hurtful or beneficial to the peg'sons eating them—it is clear that the consumer has an indefea'ible right to know when he is buying them. ; From the testimony already given before the committee of the Legislature now investigating this subject in this city it appears that in the greater number of cases this information is not attainabie. As a matter of ** business,” it was said on Saturday, ti® grocer who has Jaid in a stock of these substitutes for butter—costing him less than butter—finds it judicious to sell them at the market price of butter, because if they were gold at a fair profit and under their real names the consumer would not take them. This may be regarded as a very shrewd proceeding from the point of view of the grocer, but from the point of view of the public it is thoroughly diareputfi)le and ' outrageous, and an end should be made of it forthwith. Some distinguishing marks should be afiixed to these substances, in order to prevent consumers from being swindled, for that is the precise word which describes trade of this sort. i If oleomargarine and lardine are wholesome and worthy objects of commerce, they will surely make their way under true colors; but whether they are 8o or not, the public cannot afford to be cheated systematically as toan important part of their daily food. Some of the men concerned in the manufacture and sale of these substitutes for butter have estimable public reputations to sustain.’ If they have any intelligent regard for their reputation they will forego for the present all argument as to the actual qualities of these substances, which is an entirely sccondary matter, and will unite in defense of the community from an unconscionable practice in a well-devised and practicable measure which will enable any buyer, however dull he or she may be, to distinguish readily and certainly ‘the substitutes for butter from the genuine article. : According to the testimony presented on Saturday, no one in this or the adjacent cities can tell as he gits dpwn to dinner this evening of what the ‘“butter’ on his table is made. - From this doubt and uncertainty the public must be relieved, and we hopz that the relief will be given voluntarily.—N.¥. Post, March 28.

~Death of a Remarkable Dwarf, JoHN LEwls, the famous dwarf, who died recently at Watertown, Wis., was born in the town of Ixonia,in 1857, and was the eldest of a family of seven children. His height was twenty-sevea inches, aud average weight nineteen pounds. At the time of his death he weighed about twelve pounds. He had a webfoot, and both of his hands were without thumbs, but in all other respects he was a perfect little man. He possessed more than ordinary intelligence, and had a very retentive memory. He was thoroughly posted in farm topics, and could recall incidents, the cccurrence of which dated back* more than fittcen years, with wonderful preecision. Although his younger brothcrs and sisters oustripped him in . growth, he never permitted them to domineer. over him nor look upon him in any other light than as their superior in ex-. perience and intellicence. He was an apt scholar and a ready conversationalist. He spoke the Welsh and English languages tluently, and could tell a story with a moral to it as cleverly as anybody; As a member of the Welsh Mcthodist Church, in his native town, he frequently took part in the meetings, often giving out hymmns for the congregation to sing, and was specially prominent and active in Sunday-schooi exercises. -In giving out a hymn he invariably stood on the top of the pulpit, and read his lines with such yim and distinctness as to be heard in all parts of the room. He traveled but little, and was always oppo§c~d to being placed anywhere on exhibition.’ Thousands of people visited him during his residence in Ixonia, and from them he received many gifts. About a year ago his usual vivacity gave way to despondency, and for some months prior to his death he conversed but little, and then only in a sad and subdued tone. The cause of his death was congestion of the stomach. - :

A Man Attacked by a Pack of Curs. A CHARLOTTE (N. C.) special of a recent date to the Chicago Inter Ocean says: A very remarkable occurrence at Shoeheel, a small town between this city and Wilmington, has just stirred up the whole section' of country contiguous thereto. Mr. William D. Baldwin, a highly respectable citizen, was returnijng, Saturday night, from a trip on horseback to the country, when on nearing the town about midnight he was furiously attackcd by a pack of fifteen or twenty dogs. They bit the horse he was riding, caught the bridle in their teeth, pulled the stirrups from Mr. Baldwin’s feet, and made frantic efforts to tear him from the saddle. Finding that he could not scare them off, he put spurs to his horse and rode for his life, 'tfollowed by the yelping, barking, biting pack of curs, into the heart of the town, their glaring eyes and protruding tongues proclaiming them bent upon ° his ‘destruction. The citizens were aroused, and came to Mr, Baldwin’s rescue with guns and pistols, and the infuriated brutes were compelled to take to the woods, where they remained until Sunday, attacking and Kkilling grown cattle. By that time the excitement had greatly increased, and the danger was so manifest that the Shocheel Rifles, the military company of that place, were called out to hunt the dogs, the people of the neighborhood joiningin the pursuit, and after a whole day spent in the effort, the pack was broken up, many of the dogs being killed. The curious part about the whole story is that the dogs belongea to people in and around Shoeheecl, and no one has yet been able to explain their ¢onduct or to account for their combination. Hydrophobia was suggested, but those who witnessed their behavior say that it was not such as to justify this theory. Death ‘of the Oldest Woman in Louis- % AUNT BETSY GIVENS,” probably the oldest woman in Louisville, Ky., and certaimly tho first girl child born in that city, died on the 28th ult. She was born in 1788, in the old fori on Beargrass, in Jefferson County, Ky., and has been a resident of the place all her life. She remembered the time when Louisville was a very small town, and used to tell some very interesting stories of its growth and progress. One of tne most astonishing things about her was that she wds never outside of Louisville but once or twice in her life, and had never been on a railroad car. Sne had up to the time of her last illness a remarkably clear memory, and was acquainted with all the distinguished men of Kentucky, among whom Henry Clay was one of her especial favorites. Bhe was well informed on all political matters that transpired fifty or sixty years ago, and used to take great pleasure in telling her friends how matters were conducted then, and contrasting them with affairs of to-day. Mrs. Givens had a holy horror of theaters, and used to boast of the fact that she never was in one in her life. She wasa life-long member of the Methodist Church, and up to-a few years ago rarely a Sunday passed that her face was not seen among the worshipers. Her health was’ remarkably good, and she was wont to say that she was never sick a day in her life. She could thread a needle without the aid ot glasses, and her hearing was also very good. Last summer she had a severe fall on a stairway at home, and this hastened her death. : ”st;t—eDakow wants tobe the thirty:ninth ', oy ¥

Come out here.”’ The citizen produced a snow-shovel and pointed to an old snow-bank on a vacant lot and said : e ““There’s. your job. Shovel awayon that for half an hour and you shall have a solid meal.”” The tramp felt his lame back, and rubbed his rheumatic wrists, and wondered if he wasn’t going to have the ague, but-couldn’t very well back out. He rushed by the small erowd which had gathered, and when his half hour was up he was damp clear behind his ears, and he complained that his appetite for breakfast' had all been worked away. A compromise was therefore effected on a cash basis, and he took two nickels and hurried off as if he much feared some one else would try to help him along by offering him work. —Detroit Free Press. : - A Prospector in Petticoats.
