Tiik part of the report of the Ii.terna Revenue Commissioner dealing with the subject of olemargarinc is by no means the least interesting portion. One fact brought out is that the Commissioner has not been called upon to make any decis ion relative to tne he-Utimiluess of any sample of the article, lie has, however. kept carefully informed as to the kind and character of the ingredients employed in its manutacture. lie fluids, what has probably been discovered by most peo ple who have given attention to t lie sub ject, that evasions of the regulations re garding tne marking ot packages are committed much more frequently by re tail dealers than by manufacturers. II regards it as desirable to encourage the sale of manufacturers' packages by retai 11 i . . iieaicrs, ana in order to ewourig such sale he recommends that the law b so amended as to authorize the sale by retail dealers of original manufacturers' packages, or ot small quantities from original stamped packages. The Com missioner's report is a more favorable one than was looked for bv nianv who promoted the oleomarinc law. There is some likelihood that the question will be raised before congress at the next session It is expected that the advocates of re strictive legislation will demand an amendment of the measure, as to make it more stringent, while the oleomargarine men are encouraged by the tone of the report to hope for an amendment of the law such as will make it less burdensome ir on them. Brad-street's. TIIK ATLANTIC CAMPAIGN. I he negro vote in Atlanta whs the bone of contention throughout the re cent campaign, and in the electior, ac cording to the returns, the "wets" caught a majority of th j votes of the colored men. Perhaps this whisky issue is to be the means of opening the polls of the south to the colored men. In Fulton county, dv-'orgia, on Saturday a majority of the white electors voted the "dry" ticket. The advocates of the "wet" policy if ere driven to the black vote. It would be a singular thing if the rights of the colored voter in the south were finally to be se cured to them through the contest of the s iloon to hold its place. Rut such result, whatever other deplorable issue it might rais;;. would dispose of the issue of a solid south, and good would speedily come of it. It is noticeable, also, that a potent ar gument with the colored mm in the Atlauta saloon cautest was that the dis placement of the saloon was a discrim ination against poor men was intended to keep the negroes from getting drink while it left other channels open to men of more influence and money. Undoubt edly much of the antagonism against the saloon in the south has been borne of desire to protect the negroes from the abuses of strong drink, by which they are rendered unreliable and disagreeable, if not dangerous. The "wets" take advan t ige of this to use them to perpetuate the life of the saloon. So it appears that in Georgia, as in Iowa and t l-ewhere, the paloon at once goes to work among the ignorant and the depraved to hold them as its servants through the strength of their vices. On the other hand, appeal was made t( the colored men of Atlanta to vote the "dry" ticket in behalf of their own best int.-reti, in behalf of their families, and in behalf of the good of society generally. On the one tide, the aj p-tl is to the letter nature of the man, and on the other the appeal is to his baser passion. Tl.e direction of the forces supplies its J own utHcient commentary. The "wets" of Atlanta have not won a proud victory or one that gives them any security whatever for the future. They J cannot hold their ground, for they are tearing down, not building up. The "drys" of Atlanta have back of their cam paign all the moral force of the contest, and they represent the power which, whereyer planted, will grow, and which must dominate finally. Perhaps prohibition does not prohibit In Atlanta. They have been saying that GRANT AND LEE. PRELIMINARIES OF THE MEETING AT APPOMATTOX COURT HOUSE. Cen.

This proved to bo a duplicate of the not. Prohibition of itself may be a nar row issue. Hut the issue of strengthen ing and protecting society is not a narrow issue. The friends of humanity and good government are largely on one side and the enemies of humanity and of good government are largely on the other. To be more specific, the heart and con science of the country are on one side ond the Fcltishness and moral turpitude of the country are largely upon the other. The saloon seeks servitude through de basement; the opponents of the saloon look for help in lifting men into the dignity of honest libe rty. So men who go with the saloon have the company and direction of their way provided fo them. Those who do not like the com pany or the way must separate themselves from the saloon desire and influence, The saloon, therefore, is digging its own grave, or a deeper and broader one Sioux City Jotnial.

The star of Bergeon's treatment waning a little, new forms of cure for tubercular pa tients are being found with unabated vigor, and M. Garcia comes to the front with hy drofluoric acid. This new method consists in placing phthisical patients for an hour every day in a small cabinet which contains six cubic meters of air that is saturatr-d with h vdrofluoric acid. This saturation is obtained by pumping a current of air through & gutta jK-rcha bottle that contains 100 grammes of the acid to 300 grammes of distilled water. The quantity of air pumped in is renewed every fifteen minutes, as the effect is quickly exhausted. The system has been tried for a year past in a number of cabinets that M. Garcia has fitted up in a room in his own house, and dur ing the month of August a hundred patients were submitted to the treatment. Of this number, fourteen remained as before, forty- one were improved, and thirty-five wore cured, while ten died. It is stated that under the influence of this form of medication the attacks e-f coughing diminish and finally cease. The Koch bacilli cannot resist this acid, as they at first are found to diminish in number and soon they no longer segment; at last they entirely disappear from the secre tions. The general state of the patients was much improved, the appetite was increased, the night sweats ceased, and some patients treated over a year ago remain well. It seems that the workmen at the celebrated glass manufactory at Baccaret Lad first noticed that the hydrofluoric acid they employed had good effects on the health of consumptive per sons. Paris Cor.

Woman with the fghans is a purchasable- commodity. She is not wooed and won with her own consent; she is liought from her father. The average price of a young and good looking girl is from about oOO to 500 rupees. To reform the ideas Of an Afghan upon that matter would he a desperate task. When Said Ahmed, the great Wahab leader, the prophet, leader and king of the Yusufzai Afghans, tried to abol ish the marriage by sale his power fell at once, lie had to nee for his lire, and died an outlaw. There is no song in the world so sad and dismal as that which is sung to the brido by her friends. They come to congratulate no, to console her, like Jephtha's daughter; they go to her, sitting in a corner, and sing: Y- u remain sitting in a corner and cry for us. Wiiat can vc do for you? Your father has received the money. All of love that the Afghan knows is jeal ousy. All crimes are said to nave then cause in one of tho three r's zar, zamin or zon money, earth or women. The third z is, in fact, the most frequent of the three causes. Contemporary Review. Last of the Pequots. A reporter met on the streets of Birming- hem, Conn., ashort timo ago, a man who. was selling clams from a wagon. An inter view with him developed the fact that he claims to be the last of the noble tribe of Pequots, who, in the early days of the settle ment, occupied tho country about where Litchfield now stands. The man's name is Truman Bradley. He is not full blooded. but claims to be two-thirds Indian. His ap pearance substantiates his claim. Ho stands over six feet tall, is straight, broad shoul dered and bronzed to a coppery hue. His eyes are black and deep set. His cheek bones are prominent, his jaws strong and powerful, his forehead low and broad, his hair gray, and he has no beard. In conver sation with him the reporter learned that he claims to be the sole heir of the Pequots, and there is $7,000 held in trust for them, which is now in the hands of a trustee appointed by the judge of the superior court of Litchfield county. He will apply to the next legisla ture for the $7,000, submitting bis proofs for tho inspection of the committee having tho matter in charge. ew i ork Evening Sun.

When a felon first begins to make its ap pearance, take a lemon, cut off one end, put the finger in, and the longer it is kept thero the better. letter from Lee which Lieut. Pease had brought in from Meado'x lines. lye was so closely pressed that he was anxious to com- ! municaro with Grant by the most direct means, and as be could not tell with which column Grant was moving, he sent in one copy of bis letter on Meade's front and one on Sheridan's. CoL Newhall joined our party, and after a few minutes' halt to read the letter, we continued our rido towards Appomattox. On the march I had asked tiie general several times how he felt. To the some question now he said: "The pain in my head eomed to leave me the moment I got Loo's letter." Tbo road was filled with men, animals and wagons, and to avoid these and shorten tho distance, we turned slightly to tho right anil began to "cut across lots;" but before going far we spied men conspicuous in gray, and it was seen that we were moving towards the enemy's left flank and that a short rido f arther would take us into his lines. It looked for a moment as if a very awkward condi tion of things might possibly arise, and Grant become a prisoner in Lee's linos in stead of Lee in his. Such a circumstance would have given rise to an important cross entry in the system of campaign bookkeep ing. There was only one remedy to retraco our steps and strike the right road, which was done without serious discussion. About 1 o'clock the little village of Appomattox Court House with its half dozen houses came in sight, and soon we were entering its singlo street. It is situated on some rising ground, and beyond the country slopes down into a broad valley. The enemy was seen with his columns and wagon trains covering the low ground. Our cavalry, the Fifth corps, and part of Ord's command were occupying the high ground to the south and west of tho enemy, heading him oil completely. GREETING PHIL SHERIDAN. Gens. Sheridan and Ord, with a group of officers around them, were seen in tho road, and as our party came up, Gen. Grant said "How are you, Sheridaaf "Finrt rate, thank you, how are youf cried Sheridan, with a voice and look that seemed to indicate that on his part Le was having things all kis own way. "Is Lee over there V asked Gen. Grant, pointing up tho street, having heard a ru mor that Lee was in that vicinity "Yes, he is in that brick house," answere Sheridan. "Well, then, we'll go over," said Grant. The general in chief now rode on, accom panied by S her lda , Ord and some others, and soon CoL Babcock's orderly was seen sit ting on his horse in the street in front of a two story brick house, better in appearance than the rest of the Lymses. Ho said Gen, Lee and CoL Babcock had gone into this house a short time before, and he was ordered to post himself in tho street and keep a lookout for Gen. Grant, so as to let him know where Gen. Lee was. Babcook told me after ward that in carrying Gen. Grant's last letter he passed through the enemy's hues and found Gen. Lee a little raoro than half a mile beyond Appomattox Court House. He was lying cSown by the roadsido on a blanket, which had been spread over a few fence rails on the ground under an apple tree, which was part of an orchard. This circumstanco fur- nisbed the only ground for the widespread re port that the surrender occurred under an applo troo. Babcock dismounted upon com ing near, and as he approached on foot Lee eat up,with his feet hanging over the roadside enbankmext. The wheels of the wagons in passing along the road had cut away the earth of this embankment and left the roots of the tree projecting. Lee's feet were partly resting on these roots. One of his staff officers came forward, took the dispatch which Babcock handed him and gave it to Gen. Lee. After reading it the general rose and said he would ride forward on the road on which Babcock had come, but was apprehensive that hostili ties might begin in the meantime upon the termination of the temporary truce, and asked Babcock to write a line to Meade informing him of the situation. Babcock wrote accord ingly, requesting Meade to maintain tho true until positive orders from Gen. Grant could be received. HUNTING A HOUSE. To savo time it was arranged that a Union officer, accompanied by one of Lee's officers, should carry this letter through the enemy's Lines. This route made the distance to Meado nearly ton miles shorter than by the round about way of the Union lines. Lee now mounted his horse and directed Col. Charles Marshall, his military secretary, to accom pany him. They started for Appomattox court house in company with Babcock and followed by a mounted orderly. When the party reached the village they met one of its residents, named Wilbur McLean, who was told that Gen. Lee wanted to occupy a con venient rom in some house in the town. McLean ushered them into the sitting room of one of the first houses he came to, bnt upon looking about and finding it quite small and m eagerly furnished, Lee proposed finding something more commodious and better fitted for the occasion. McLean then conducted the party to his own house, about the best one in the town, where they awaited Gen. Grant's arrival. The house bad a comfortable wooden porch with seven steps leading up to it. A hall ran through the middle from front to back, and on each side was a room having two windows, one in front and one in rear. Each room had two doors opening into the halL The building stood a little distance back from the street, with a yard in front, and to the left was a gate for carriages and a roadway running to a stable in rear. We entered the grounds by this gate and dis mounted. In the yard were seen a fine large, gray horse, which proved to be Gen. Lee's, and a good looking mare belonging to CoL ! MarshalL An orderly in gray was in charge ! of them, and had taken off their bridles to i let them nibble the grass. Gen. Grant mounted the steps and entered : tho house. As he stepped into the hall, CoL Babcock, who had seen his approach from : tho window, opened the door of tho room on ' the left, in which ho had been sitting with ; Gen. Lee and CoL Marshall, awaiting Gen. ; Grant's arrivaL The general passed in, : while the members of the staff, Gens.
