Tliosc of OIII reader* engaged IP the important HI id rapidly increasing busl th-ss of tlMiry husbandry will be glad to Ifftrti that it. Is to receive special at* l«>iifion and encouragement from til* Government. A late dispatch from Wushingtoii announces that the Com miss oner of Agriculture will establish a division of dairy products, with the view to giving: milk, butter and cheese, and the breeding and keeping of milch cows, more attention than lists been be­ stowed upon them hitherto. It is stated that In his report next fall Com­ missioner Colman will recommend the enactment by Congress of a law re* strioting, so far as national law can restrict, the manufacture and sale of _ . , oleomargarine. One of the scientists nut of! a new Orleans streetcar In the,^,.. , . , . , , F , , K ""of the Department of Agriculture has La-solng is the latest device of ftreet robi.ers in New York Pity. A man at night passing the mouth of a dark alley opening into a dimly light­ ed street 16 suddenly jerked up by a nonse thrown over his hea'l ami pin inning his anii8,and lie is snaked into Jhe alley where he is quickly robbed, and perhaps murdered. The story that speaker Haines was middle of a long block because lie could.t't pay his fare is intended to be taken with a copious sprt ikling of salt by those persons who witnessed the ineffectual attempt of the legislature to put this man oft between crosslngf last January. More likely Mr. Haines put the conductor and driver off ami ran the car himself, not forgetting to collect the fates.--Chicago New** Under the Mexican law a credl- j t tor can have the debtor arrested on the day when the debt falls due. 1 he prisoner Is chained to a post five days, guarded by an officer. At the end of ,'^the time, if the money is not fortli- ff- '" coming, the man's labor is sold to the government for forty cents a day for ' »s many days as will be necessary to ifc discharge the obligation. The misera- ||iv ble debtor is sent to the silver mines. Hp' wiiere he is chained to a gang of felons and compelled to work underground. p||v: lie sleeps underground, and never sees ^ daylight o^ain until he is restored to ?!(,'< freedom. tSTlt appears that the camdians have not been able to avoid army con tract frauds evt n in their little rebel­ lion. It is uow said that the Govern­ ment lias been swindled out of liund* reds of thousands of dollars, and it has charged that many ot the officers iu the transport service were political hacks who had claims on .the Govern­ ment, and being given these places as rewards, have been making all they coul i out of them, it is also said that the Canadian farmers and others from whom supplies and stock were bought showed very little patriotism, iu the majorty of cases, charging the Govern­ ment two or three prices. This seems to confirm the accurancy of Sam Slick's observation, that "there's a deal of lni n.an natur, in man." remarkable incident is told by the Beloit Free Press of tiie 4th iiist., in the following paragraph: "Tues­ day afternoon Mr. Waterhouse, an old resident of Madison, fell from a ladder while making some repairs en his dwelling, and broke his heck. He was removed to his house and medical assis­ tance summoned, when it was discover ed that although alive and able to con- vets* ireely, his entire body tvom -the place of fracture down was paralyze.!. Wednesday there was no changc in his cotlfition, and except in his head, lungs and lienrt. his body appeared to be lifeless. His condition since the ac cident is attracting considerable atten­ tion among physicians, and is said by professional men to be or.e of the most remarkable encountered in Wisconsin ne is able to eat, talks freely, and does not complain of pain, making t'te case •till more remarkable." Postmaster General Yilas has refused to appofift J. P. Ryan post­ master of Appleton, Wis., because he IB the publisher of a Democratic newspaper. In a letter stating his •lews on this suoject, Colonel Yilas lays in substance t lac while he is d's- missing Republicans from office for offensive partisanship, and is especially active in removing Republican editors; on this charge, he can not stultify him­ self by the appointment of a Dem­ ocratic editor who. is notoriously of­ fensive as a partisan, This di-cl-ion lias created an uproar among the Demo­ crats up In Wisconsiu, and is not likely to be acceptable to Democratic jour­ nalists el ewliere. The Democratic newspaper publisher has usually under Democratic Administrations regarded the local post office as "his meat," and this long forward step in the way of reform will be entirely unacceptable. The postmaster General, however, pre­ serves his consistency and makes a clear record by the course he has adopt­ ed.--^Journal discovered a method uf distinguishing butter from oleomargarine--a method which is said to be so simple that the least educated person can apply it and which is believed to be entirely trust­ worthy. If on further test its perfect reliability shall be established. It will be published for the information of the pjople, and especially for the benefit of the large number engaged In the manufacture and sale ot genuine dairy products. Col. Colman, the new Commissioner of Agriculture, has for years given special attention to dairying, and hence is no tyro concerning the busi­ ness. Having an extensive dairy of his own, he has had rare opportunities to become thoroughly informed as to the details of that important branch of rural industry. Good results may therefore be confidently anticipated from investigations and experiments made uuder the Intelligent direction of one familiar with both the practice and sciei.ce of dairy production; and hence all iutere6ted in the busiuess are to be congratulated upon the promised establishment of such a division as that announced. Jefferson Davis is said to be under the impression that the United States Government will not last long and that "the respect, loye and venera­ tion for the constitution which ani­ mated our citizens before the war has departed.'1 Green glasses always make things look green. Dyspepsia and de­ feat are apt to give one a discouraging view of affairs. The only prominence which Davis will nave in history con­ sists of an attempt to destroy "the re­ spect, love and veneration for the constitution;" and that .ended in such ignominious failure that he sought shelter under a borrowed petticoat. As for the South, we venture to isay that It has never been so generously patriotic as it Is to-day. North and South have run together like two drops of quicksilver, and if a common enemy should attack us they would stand side by side with equal courage in defence of our common institutions. One must have a large sized bee in hi bouuet not to recognize this fact and to be grateful for it. The rebellion has become a part of ancient history already in thi« swift moving age, and Jefferson Davis is simply a fossilifer- eus remnant, who is doomed to live that he may see the magnitude of his blunder and crime. Our Chicago Market Report. Prepared 'Cxpressiy for the PLAINDEALER by Out Own Correspondent. CHICAGO, III., June 15,1886 The market, generally speaking, is weaker than it was seven days ago.and many of the staplea are selling off a point or -o. The last of March and 1st of April saw Wheat run up rapidly by the prospects of war between England and Russia; when war was declared off it was confidently expected Wheat would return to its old figures again, but it ha9 not, and the reason lies in the fact that the Wheat crop for 188S is only 60 per cent of the crop Of 1884. which is a very great shortage. At present Wheat i6 weak and future de­ livery is qu>ted below present cash prices. The shipment of Corn for the past week has been 322,000 bushels in excess of receipts which leaves tho market in a good shape, Ttaa fine wea­ ther and favorable reports from the different prominent corn districts, have bad a tendency to lower pri *s but the brisk demand has kept Corn well up. Oats are dull and prices have declined. The supply and demand Is about equal ar.d the only reason assigned is the sympathy with other grain. Rye and Barley show little change and but small demand. The receipts are little. Over 150,000 head of Hogs have been received during the past week yet few ever remain over night unsold and prices have been 3teady and advancing only upon one day of the past week was there any decline. Packers are buying freely; also shippers. It Is in­ timated however that prices will not long remain strong, that the advance paid is only to secure large shipments from the country when prices will be put down. The Cattle market does not show much change, prices remain firm andgCattle arc in good demand, especi­ ally shipping beeves. There has been a large supply of Texans coming in lately. Very few sheep are being re­ ceived and prices are firm. Butter is in good demand. Eggs are rather poor and inactive. Cheese is In better demand by exporters. Potatoes plenty. Poultry selling well at slight advance. Strawberries are more plentiful this year than ever before. The outlook for Apples, Peaches and fruits tff all kind was never better.
