Dr. George Fordycs, the London anatomist and •hemleal lecturer, for twenty years lived comfort ably on one meal a day.

Thi market ta (all of adulterated butter and chemists are still at work on the problem of making butter without tbe cow and tbe churn. 1 he adul terated article, however, has come to stay, and the question to bo comidered is how to make the beet aud cheapest article at tbe least expense to the manufacturer. Tbe use of neutral lard Is probably the largest of all sdullerants. It is tsetelen, easily colored, and gives a good body to the butter, and is inexpensive compared with cream* Cotton seed oil Is also largely used. It has tbe nat ural advantages of flavor and color and gives tbe butter a good grain. O-eo oil. a fluid obtained from tallow, figures largely in the manufacture of butter. Pure cow butter is difficult to find in any market at the present time. The governor of Texas will find it an easy mat • ter to spend tbe 850,000 appropriation voted for the purpose of putting down the fence cutters. The poor people of Texas are determined to have free grass or blood.

This Is openly threatened, anc\ the govern or will find that nothing but exceptlot al wisdom and courage can prevent serious trouble. T he editor ol the New York World speaks ol Toombs's "scattered slaves.” Therstocmed editor is misinformed.

New England Is about to be t u twitted. It Is un derstood that a numiorof English capltall'ls are now qutety prospering in various parts of tho south for sites for priut mills. According to Mr, Edward Atklnron, tho climate of the south is net fitted for cotton manufacturing, and those who agree with him are preparing to get left We hardly know whether to feel sid or not. A northern exchange Lopes that the south will not be impatient in regard to the building of cot ton factories. 8hoo! there 1* no impatience here. Tbe smaller industries, which are more important thau cotton factories, are engaging oar attention. If tho editor of tho exchange in question desires to behold business, let him go to the Now Orleans exposition and fee the Atlanta display. We stated yesterday that tbe ensllsge system had been tested in France during tho put twelve years.

The bears and wreckers of Wall street were •evorely pnntsbed by Jay Gould In the tu rale of last week. The evidence multiplies that Woerfahoeffer and his fellow pirates intended to break tbe mar ket and force a panic.

The society swells of our large cities are unmer* cifully shown up by tbe aewspspers occuionally. According to a Now York .restaurateur tbe real society man has worse manners thsn the dstly laborer. The best manners aro found among tho young mon cf good respectable parentage, who do t not strive to shine among tho ultra fashionables. Thejregular society swell.is a rude and disagreeable young man. His meanest weakness is to opsnly bout of his conquests over the fair me. He has % habit of mentioning tho names of ladles at the office, at the club, and in hls'common street talk. Generally he la a sponge. Why ho should bo tol* erated In society circles can only bo explalucd upon the hypothecs that society people are as ill- bred uho I*. or very good naturad, A physician who recently took an overdose of Indian basheesh gives a terrifying account of his sensations. At first he bccamo so weak that ho wss obliged to seek his bed, but everytbiog in the room seemed to change its post tlou,distance became magnified and the bed seemed about a mile dis tant It apparently took hours to reach tbe bed, and when the sufferer lay dowu ho found that bo could no longer move his limbs. Ho lost his volte and bis heart ceaicd to perform Its functions. Just when death seemed imminent tbe victim suddenly regained his strength and tho poscs»lon of all bis faculties. The physician bu made no further ex periments with hasheesh. The recent discovery of tin ore at King's Moun tain. North Carolina, isattrscitcg considerable at tention. Several scientists visiting King's Mountain a few days ago, and found quantities of tin ore scattered over the ground all through the town. Striking a hill aide several ditches were Jut, but without tunning scro-« a vein of ore. The discov ery wu made iu a singular mattner. Several specimens of black looking ore were sent to tbe Boston expodtion, and marked "unknown.” An examination ahowed it to be tlu ore of tho richest quality, y leldtog 75 per cent of tin. There areonly three tin-bearing mines in tho world and there is a steading reward of 850,- coo offered for the discovery of one ia the United States. Thomas Fortune, the colored editor of the New York Globe, is crcating-a sensation at the north by bis comments on the republican party.

Mr. English, of Indiana, who wu compelled to buy fifty cunts worth of postage stamps in i880, tays that politics are very costly.
