There is x determination on the part of dairymen, mid others wlio are unwilling that this interest bliall suffer by reason of adulter ated articles to secure the iss of laws that will effectually protect straight goods from unfair and un just cojiietiUon with spurious articles that are sold as genuine butter and clieese. The states in which this industry is prominent have passed laws intended to pre vent tlie fraudulent traffic in uch goods, or are trying u perfect snch laws where they have leeu found inefficient. It is difficult, however, to frame a statute tliat will meet all cases, as has been found by ex perience in this instance. In this state amendments to the law now in force are pending which it is believed will meet most cases of this kind. Under the present law several violations of it in this city have been punished. But it is proper that state laws on the sub ject shall be re-enforced by federal legislation, and that end we notice that the International Dairy Fair association, through its president, Mr. Moulton, has brought the sub ject to the attention of congress. Mr. Moulton addressed the com mittees of agriculture at Washing ton, a few days ago, in which he presented the arguments in the case very forcibly. The principal points made are not unfamiliar to most of our readers, but some of them may be profitably epitomized again. It was shown that farmers of twenty-three states, owning 13,000,000 of milch cows, sup ported on land worth many hun dred millions of dollars, and producing between 300,000,000 and 4 00,000,000 worth of but ter and cheese annually, are directly interested in this oleo margarine question, as are also the "0,000.000 people in tiie United States consuming these articles. From the state of Maine in the east to the Kocky mountains in the west, and from the lakes in the north to the Ohio river in the suth, tin producers of butter are calling for protection from tle unfair competition brought ufKMt them by oleomarga rine. Mixed with butter and sold under a false name, it doe tin? greater damage because of the disijonest methods employed in hs sale. No state law seems com in tent to deal with it properly; acts of the legislature, compelling it to be branded, have been openly vio lated by merch'ants of the highest respectability, wlto thought it no harm to brand 'a package with cold iron upon a rough stave so indistinctively that they could not even discover the mark them selves. The legislature of Ver mont has come the nearest to doing something practical with reference to it, by passing a law compelling every person who sells it from the package down to the half-pound lump to hand to the purchaser a printed note salving, "this is oleomargarine." Manu factories have been put up in all sections of the country, and they are mauaged by the shrewdest and best manipulators in an- branch of business. Vast sums of money have been invested in the business, and the farmers have to contend with a combination as strong as it is selfish and unfair. In the city of Philadelphia alone 100,000 pounds are being manufactured weekly, which is at the rate of 5,000,000 pounds a year. Not only do our farmers suffer from competition with oleomar garine in our home markets, but it is (loins' jjreat damage toour foreign trade. England, the best customer for our dairy products, has become susfMciou of them, xnci some weeks ago Sir H. Maxwell brought the matter up in parliament "in order to protect English producers from the unfiiir competition caused by the importation from America of spurious compounds resembling and in many cases sold to and by retail dealers as butier."' Mr. Moulton referred to tint "rapidly .increasing exports of oleoma:garine, suciue, soapstonc, etc., from America to 1 Iolland, ami the rapidly increasing exjorts of dairy products by the latter coun try to Great Urhaiiv' and urged "that safeguards be placed around the importation of such spurious compounds from Holland.'' The oil is shipped from this country to the continent, and there manu fac ta ted into a compound tltat takes the place of butter in tlic English markets: and oleomargarine is largely ship(ed from this country under the name of butter, it hav ing Imjcu shown lately that some 15,000,000 pounds had gone abroad under the name of that article. That it is unwholesome has been demonstrated by the ablest scien tists in this country, including Dr. Piper, of Chicago; Prof. Michels, of New Voik; Prof. Henry Left man, of Philadelphia, and others. It is true that a few quack chem ists have been hired to speak in its favor. Mr. Moulton said that if any one will visit the fat-rendering establishments in New York more than one ofthem under the same roof with a bone-boiling fac tory they will not need any sci entific proof to convince them that it is an impure and disgusting concoction, neither fit for dog nor man. The French academy of medicine have reported that oleo margarine is unfit for use in French hospitals. That the article actu ally sold in commerce 'was ah injury to the digestive organs of sick people. Prof. Micliels says that those who cat it run the risk of trichina from the stomachs of animals cltopped up with the fat in making it. In concluding his remarks tin; speaker told the committees that tlie sooner congress recognized the fact that it has a" duty to jerform to the agriculturist of this eounlrv the better it will la for all con cerned; that organisations of dairy men and men engaged in handling dairy goods representing ibc pro ducers of the country are in earn est in this matter, and are determ ined tliat their interests shall receive more attention in the future.

Johnson, the autltor of '-Telegraph Tales' is respon sible for the following stery: "In the winter of 1S70-T1, one of the operators in the Western Union office at Boston liad an epileptic fit. His medical attendant spoke to him, chafed him, and tried hard to arouse him, but in vain. Subsequently one of his fellow operators drew a chair up to the bed and tok the patients hand in his. As lie did so he noticed a feeble pressure by the fingers, which pressure presently resolved itself into dots and dashes, faintly communicating to tlie tactile, sense the words, "w-h-a-t d-o-c-t-o-rs-a-y a-b-o-u-t m-e? Asked whetlier he could hear what was said to him. the patient signified assent by a slight motion with the tips of his fingers, and the result was that his fellow operator got from the patient enough dots and dashes to describe his feelings to the physi cian, win) was thus enabled to ap ply the necessary remedies. It is certain that no other method of communicating was possible under the circumstances, since the sufierer from epilepsy, although he could hear, could neither speak nor move any of his muscles, except those situated in the digi tal extremctics, and these only with the faintest requisite in dec trio communication.' 311:31 Is the word till M.
