THE HURON EXI6OSITOR.
A Good Story'.
A doctor named Royston had sued
Peter Bennet for his bill, long overdue,
for attending the wife of the latter. Al-
exander H. Stephens was on the Ben-
net side, and Robert Toombs, then Sen-
ator of the United. States, wag for Dr.
Roysten. The doctor proved the num-
ber of his visits, their value according to
-loCat custom, and his own authority to
Io medioal practice. Mr. Stephens told
his client that the physician had. made
out his case, and as there was nothing
wherewith to rebut or offset the
claim, the only thing left to do was
to mit.
"No," said Peter, "If hired you to
speak in my case, and now speak."
Mr. Stephens told him there- was
nothing to say; he looked on to seethat
it was made out, and it was.
Peter was c...bstinate, and at last Mr.
Stephens tom him to make a speech
'himself, if he 'thought one could be
made.
"I willrsaid. Peter Bennet, "if Bob-
by Toombs don't be too hard On me."
Senator Toombs promised; and Peter
began:
"Gentlemen of the jury—You and I
is plain farmers, and. if we don't stick
together these 'ere lawyers- and doctors
will git the advantage of us. I ain't no
lawyer nor doctor, and I ain't no objec-
tions to them in their• proper place, but
they ain't farmers, gentlemen of the
iurY-
" Now, this man Royston was a new
doctor, and I went for him to come and
doctor my' ! wife's sore leg. And he
come and tint some salve truck onto it
and some rags, but never done it one
bit of good., gentlemen of the jury. I
don't believe he is no doctor, no way.
There is doctors as is doctors sure enough
but this man don't earn his money, and
if you send for him, as Mrs. Sarah At-
kinson did for a negxo as was worth
11-1,000; he iust killa him and wants pay
for it."
I don't," thundered the doctor.
Did you cure him?" asked. Peter
withtheslow accents of a judge with
the black cap on.,
The doctor was silent and Peter pro -
()ceded :
"As I was sayin', gentlemen of the
jury, we farmers when we sell our cot-
ton has got to give vally for the money
we ask, and doctors ain't none too good.
to be put to the same rule. And Idon't
believe this Sam Royston is no doctor,
nohow."
The physician again put in his oar
with.:
"Look at my diploma if you think I
am no doctor."
"His diplopia !" exclaimed. the new -
fledged orator, with great contempt.
"His diploma! Gentlemen., that is a
bis word for printed sheepskin, and it
didn't make no doctor of the sheep as
first wore it, nor does it of the man as
new carries it. A. good newspaper has
to.ore in it, and I pint out to ye he ain't
no doctor at all."
The man of medicine was now in a
fury, and screamed out:
"Ask my patients if I am not a doc-
tor !"
"1 liave asked my wife," retorted
Peter,"Ancl she said. as how she thought
you wasn't."
"Ask my other patients," said Dr.
Royston.
This seemed to be the last straw that
broke the camel's back, for Peterreplied
with a look and tone of unutterable sad-
ness:
"That is a hard sayin', gentlemen of
the jury, andi one that requires. me to
have powers as I've hearn tell ceased to
be exercised since the Apostles. Does
he expect me to bring the Angel Gabri-
el down before his time, and cry aloud,
'Awake ye dead and tell this Court and.
jury your opinion of Royston's prac-
tice?' Am I to go to the lonely church-
yard and rap on the silent tomb and say
to sum as is at last at rest from physic
and dootor's bill, 'it up here you, and
state if you died a natural death, or was
hurried up by some doctors ?' He says
ask his patients, and, gentlemen of the
jury, they are all dead. Where is Mrs.
Bazley's man Sitin ? Go ask the worms
in the -graveyard where he lies. Mrs.
- Peake'e woman Sarah was attended by
him, an.d her-Inneral was appinted, and
he had the corpse ready. Wlhere is that
likely Bill as belonged to M. Mitchell.
Now, in glory a' expressin' his opinion
on Royston's doctorin'. Where is that
baby gal of Harry Stephens? She are
where dootors cease troublin' and the
infants are at rest.
"Gentlemen of the imy, he has et
chicken enough at my house to pay for
his salve, and I furnisbed the rags, and.
I don't sappose he charttes for makin'
her -worse, and I am humbly
thankful that he never gave her nothin'
for her inwards as he did his other pa-
tients, for somethin' made 'em all die
raighty sudden—"
Here the applause made the speaker
sit dowa in great confusion, and in spite
of a logical restatement of the case by
Senator Toombs, the doctor lost, and
Peter Bennet Won.
$100,000,000. The result to those en-
gaged in supplying the home market is,
therefore, a loss of one-half their busi-
ness. To the commercial community,
distributors of commodities, the result
'is the same; they do only one-haif the
business, and. make only one-half the
profit, or one-half of them lama leave
for other climes, or else turn their at-
tention to *pursuits for'which they are
unsuited.
Let wages be reduced to One-half pf
what they now axe and the result will be
that we will import only one-half of what
we have hitherto done, that we will sell
only about one-half the quantity of home
manufactures that we have previously
done, that our merchants will do only
$10,000 a year, while they have previ-
ously done$20,000,or that the merchants
shall be reduced by one half, and a city
of 30,000 come down to one of 15,000
that one-half of our stores and houses
shall remain idle and tenantless and. the
rent of the remaining half be reduced to a
point below what it nowis,and the value
of land and other staple property shall
be reduced correspondingly, and that
one-half of our bankers and moneyed
men should either remain idle, or seek
fresh fields and pastures new. The pol-
icy or otherwise of low wages is one of
the questions of the day, and save in
exceptional cases it is the interest of em:
ployers as well as employed to set their
faces against it.
Every country where high wages pre-
vail is in ordinary times prosperous and.
civilized,in countries where they do not
the reverse is the case. The most pros-
perous countries in the world, Canada,
the United States,Great Britain,France
&c., are those where wage e are highest
—in all poor countries they are low.—
San Francisco Journal of Commerce.
Are Dow Wages a Benefit to the
Manufacturer or Merchant P.
The general impression on the part of
those who pay wages -is that they are,
on the part of those who receive them,
that they are not. We, however, ask
the question from a point of view em-
bracing the whole community,and more
particularly the commercial part of it,
and shall answer it from the same point
of view. Cheap wages enrich those who
aro engaged in the production of articles
for export for which there is a demand
abroad unaffected by any demand from
this State for the products of the coun-
try where these exports are sold. pheap
wages Ns'caila therefore enrich the
silver or gold producer, the lead and
copper miner, and in general the pro-
ducer of any mineral which was sought
principally for sale in foreign markets.
It would enrich the producer of wheat,
AvotJ and wine, because these articles
are needed in foreign markets whether
we ever import anything from them or
not.
They will not, however, and cannot
enrich those who are engaged in manu-
facturing operations with a view to the
supply of the horne market: To these
they are a positive detriment, because
they destroy the market that they had
hoped•to supply. For insts.nce,let those
employed in raining,agriculture and vin-
iculture earn any sum, say $100,000,000,
more than they spend in the articles
produced by their labor, and. they pur-
chase manufactures and other articles
to just that amount. Suppose that
instead of this their wages are reduced
by one-half, and they will only have
*50,00o,0oo to spend where they had
The Key of th p Wine Cellar.
Alexander, fourth Earl of Kellie, like
naost of his compeers of that day, was
rather a -hard liver. He married Annie,
daughter of the third Earl of Balcarris,
and, in the first confidence of early
married love, intrusted her to keep the
key of the wine -cellar. Lady Kellie
was naturally anxious to put some limit
to his lordship's potations, so on the
first occasion that he invited several of
his boon companions to the castle for
dinner and drink, she gave out as
much wine as she thought good for theift,
and walked quietlyup to Cranbee with
the key of the cellar in her pocket, to
take her "four hours" with the minis-
ter's wife. She, however, formed a
very poor idea of the drinking powers of
the party in what she had left for their
consumption, and on his lordship send-
ing for more he learned how matters
stood. His measures were soon taken;
he had the cellar door forthwith forced
from its hinges, and desired the ser-
vants to take it to the manse, with his
compliments to her ladyship, and, if she
asked any questions, to say " That it
was the cellar door come to look for the
key,"
The Lard Question.
"When lard sputtets in the frying -
pan," said. a dealer in that _article the
other day, "it is because it has been
adulterated with water. Pure lard nev-
er sputters. •
:" Who adulterated it ?"
"The lard refiners. They heat wa-
ter to, about the same temperature as
that of boiling lard, add 151 or 20 per
centum of water, and stir the mixture
SO that the water cannot settle to the
bottom. They then refine it by using
pot -ash, pearl ash., borax and other
chemicals, unt'il it has become as white
as your shirt front," •
" Why refine it?"
"Because when it comes to them it is
of a dirty brown color."
"How does it get that color?"
It gets it from the nature of the
materials used by the lard manufactur-
ers or renderers,' as they are called.
In various slaughter -houses in this city
where lard is manufactured and whence
it is taken to the refiners, I myself have
seen hog's feet, heads, tails, entrails and.
scrapings gathered up and put in the
-
same cauldrOn that contained. hog fat,.
the entire contents being then boiled for
the purpose of making lard. After
long boiling, the liquid is drawn off,"al-
lowed-to cool and harden, and. called
lard. Its color very naturally is any•
thing but white. The sediment. that
remains in the cauldron after the liquid
has been drawn off, is solcl to manufac-
turers of fertilizers."
"Are you sure that the feet, entrails
and scrapings of,the hog enter into the
manufacture of lard ?"
Visit any large slaughter -house and
see for yourself. The process is going
on 'every day. The refiners get the
dirty. -brown lard from those places, and
by the aid of ehemicEds make it white
—much whiter than pure lard ever is.
Then they label the stuff "refined
lard," and people think they are getting
a superior article. But the fact is that
lard. should never be refined at all. It
should be manufactured directly from
the fat of the swine. 1 will tell you an-
other thing. Every day_ at the great
slaughter -houses dead hogs arrive in the
cars. They have died on Abe journey
to New York. .They, too, 'are dumped
into the cauldron, and are converted
into lard. The other day I saw seven
dead boas brow -flit in, weighed careful-
ly, and carried out to the lard -making
department."
An act to prevent the adulteration of
lard and the sale of adulterated lard,
was introduced by Mr. Hamilton Fish,
Jr., into the Assembly a few weeks ago,
and was referred to the Committee on
Agriculture. Mr. Ames Tenny and Mr,
W. E. Andrew have appeared before
the Committee on behalf of the 8,a,
while Mr. Cole, president of , the Pro-
duce Exchange, aria member of the
firm of W. J. Wilcox & Company, Mr.
Hiscox, another member of that firm,
and Mr. Arnold, of the firm of Wm. H.
Popham ck Company, appeared in op-
position to it. Their objections are said
to have been that the hill, if passed,
would break up a business in which
030,000,000 were invested in this city;
and that the use of chemicals in refin-
ing lard is no more injurious than the
use of soda in making bread. The
promoters of the bill claim that its pur-
pose is to prevent the lard manufactur-
ers from producing an impure article.
The following are among the provisions
of the bill :
`• Any person or persons who shall
knowingly sell or exchange, or expose
for sale or e-xchanae, any impure or
adulterated lard 4 el be deemed guilty
of a misdemeano , and 'on conviction
shall be punished/by a. fine of not less
than fifty dollars- for each offence, or
shall be imprisoned in the Penitentiary
or County Jail for not less than sixty
days, or both, in the discretion of the
court.
"Any persen or persons who shall
render, or cause to be rendered, swine
or the fat of swine, that have died a na.
tural death, and eipose or offer the pro-
duct of the same for sale or exchange,
as lard, shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and on conviction shall be
punished by a fine ef not less than
0200 for each offence, or shall be im-
prisoned. in the Penitentiary or County
Jail for not less than 90 days.
"The addition of water or any othe
liquid or chemical preparation, except
salt, to lard, or the use of chemicals for
whitening it, is hereby declared to be
an adulteration within the meaning of
this act."—New York Post, March the
20th.
A Matrimonial M. D. on a Con-
nubial Tour.
The following extract from the Phila-
delphia Public _Record of the 5th ult.,
naay prove interesting to some of our
readers. It is to be hoped that "Dr.
Carl Ream," who is evidently one of the
greatest scoundrels in existence, will
not be a fugitive from justice much
longer, but that he will speedily receive
that punishment which his criraes so
well merit:
Dr. Charles H. Roemer, alias Dr. Ar-
nold, alias Dr. Carl Ream, was before
Magistrate Pole yesterday afternoon,
charged with being a fugitive from jus-
tice from Minnesota, where his presence
is desired. to answer the charge of
bigamy. According to the statement of
'W. H. Dill, Sheriff of Winona County,
Minnesota, the Dr. has done a thriving
business in the matrimonial line, and.
has made a decided success in his
attempts to ingratiate himself into
the good graces of the fair sex, as
well as gaining aceess to their bank ac-
counts.
The first acquaintance of the Sheriff
with the prieoner, he said, was in 1871,
at which time he lived at Fort Smith,
Arkansas, where he seduced a woman
under pretence of marriage, then pro-
duce4 an abortion, and closed his tans -
actions with that victim of his rascality
by taking all the money she possessed
and absconding. His next appearance
seems to have been in Canada, in 1873,
where, under the cognomen of "Dr.
Carl Ream," he laid siege to the heart
of Mrs. Mary Brauer, a widow lady, en -
cambered with four children, residing
at Berlin, gained her affections and was
married. again. This time the cere-
mony was performed by a Justice of the
Peace at Buffalo.
While on a visit to his last wife's re-
latives, he became impressed with the
idea that he had not been bound mifi
ciently strong, and so- on reaching
Rochester, he engaged the services of a
Catholic clergyman, who put an ad-
ditional tie to the hymenial knot, and
so the union was renderedas strong as
human power could make it. Having
convinced his spouse by this little piece
of trickery that he was anxious to be
made as fast as possible, he then set to
work to consummate his schemes in
gaiaing possession of her worldly store.
Her former husband had left her with
a hotel and other property, and under
pretence of purchasing a drug store in
Detroit, her newly -wedded lord prevail-
ed on her to sell the property and re-
move to that city, although the lady's
brother protested against the action,
and endeavored to convince her that
her husband was insincere. and.
was governed entirely by selfish mo-
tives.
After the drug store was got into op-
eration, the lady found herself minus a
husband once more, and, what was
still worse, minus all her silver ware, a
gold watcli valued at $185, and $285 in
money.'
In Indiana the "Dr." was again join- •
ed in the holy bonds with a lady of con-
siderable property, who died in a few
months, thus rendering it an easy mat-
ter for her bereaved husband to convert
her assets intio cash and seek for other
remunerative fields. But there is a
suit pending against him for the re-
stitution of the property. Next he mar-
ried a lady of 18 summers in Washing-
ton County, Wisconsin, lived with his
wife six weeks, when the honeymoon
collapsed by the "Dr." taking French
leave, and subsequently the young wife
obtained a divorce.
In the town of Winona, Minn., for-
merly resided. Mr. Nicholas Artz. In
the fall of 1876, Mr. Artz closed his
earthly career, leavinuc'behind him a
wife and an estate of 060,000. The
was not long in scenting his
prey, .and last spring persuaded the
widow to lay aside h.er weeds and be-
come Mrs. "Dr. Arnold."
He was not long in obtaining a power
of attorney from his wife, and, having
placed a considerable sum of, money in
bank, he bid his wife "good-bye," tell-
ing her he was going to Lacrosse, tak-
ing 04,000 of his wife's funds with him.
He was heard of no more until he turn-
ed up in Europe. Three weeke after
leaving home he wrote to his wife that
he had been shipwrecked and lost all.
Then he wrote soon after from Liver-
pool, informing her that he had met
with better success, and would return
home with more money than he took
away with him.
About the 1st of February last he ar-
rived in Winona again, and the matter
was all smoothed over, on condition of
his returning •$700, which was agreed
to, and the two were to live together'
again. The District Attorney for Win-
ona county, however, was not so easily
appeased, and there being an indict-
ment for bigamy against the "Dr.," he
he was placed under $1,000 bail. Be-
fore the hearing occurred, however, the
"Dr." decamped, and was not heard
from again, until an express package
.addressed to him in this city, establish-
ed his place of concealment. The
"Dr." is now astaiting a requisition
from the Governor of Minnesota, to
take him back to the scenes of his late
exploits.
