The steam ship President, whose intended depar-
ture from Liverpool, has been heralded some time,
arrived in New York, on the 18th ut. She left on
the lst making rather long passage. She was pro-
baby detained by some cause other, we have not
heard, however, of any, II is seldom the boat per.
forms as well on her first trip after some Etle use
being necessary to enable an engine to work with
rapdity and ease. 1t was expected by the prepre-
tors that the President' world exceed in speed as
she does in beauty any boat yet launched for the AT
lanc trade. She has, however, considerable to gain
and will have to pull foot much more rapidly than
on the presemt trip, if she does not wish the palm to
be borne off by competitor, whose rvalship she pro-
badly little expected. The Acadia the second of
Mr.. Cunard's line, arrived at Boston on the 17th e.
ter passage, including her stop at Halifax, Of only
twelve days and half beating the Presiden in time
about four days. Many bets, understand, were
pending between the New Workers and Bostonians
on this result and now, whilst the Bostonians poe
ct the change, they exult much at his triumph, n
their infancy of Atlantic steam navigation over the
hopes of The New Workers, who expect to keep ahead
OF every thing in this line, they were he first and
until lately, the only community that could boast o.
the arrival among them of European steam ship
Only twelve days nd halt, 20 cross the Atlantic
This is the quickest trip ever made and in view Of
It, when we Look back bu short .ime to the tedious
and uncertain voyages by The only facilities for
reaching Europe, we may well inquire, 'what is the
world coming to- Eut we have outs ripped our
ancestors so in turn no doubt will future generations
outstrp us, but much more rapidly. Every discove-
ry IN The arts and sciences, and every Invention,
opens The door for further discovery and improvement
and after one step has been taken, two more may he
taken with as hftie labor. We have apparently ad-
yanced far in the arts, and awaited ourselves extern
sively of the lights of science; but knowledge as yet
has but fairly unfolded her wing, and works now
regarded as evidencing almost the limit of human
wisdom, perhaps time will demonstrate as the mere
stepping stones for advancement. We cross the At
lantic now, distance of 5000 miles, in twelve days
and half which is indeed short space of time;
but we opine the time will arrive, when the Ameri-
traveller, setting his foot on board craft here,
will involuntarily stretch for his arm to shake
hands with his European neighbor.

Produce. The last wear was one Of

Produce.--The last year was one Of
great abundance in agriculture! products.
The crops of cotton and bread stufs were
greater than ever before. Business has
been extremely dull all the year, and yet
Our stores are exhausted. The wants OF
producers have caused them to carry their
crops very generally to market, so that
whether we believe il or not, much lar
ger quantity of produce has been disposed
of in the great markets, than during any
former year. The cotton mills in Europe
and here, it is said, have been standing
still, and yet, one way or another, the
quantity of cotton spun this year, exceeds
that spun last year, by more than the whole
crop few years ago. The stocks of cot
ton in all the ports are now small, and as
for -four and all sorts Of bread stuffs, there
are almost no stocks at all. Our store
houses are empty and ready for the receP-
ton of the bounties with which Providence
is again browning our agricultural labors.
All this must bring our affairs right. 1t
has in fact, in great measure, done so
already. The overwhelming losses sus-
tanned in the tremendous fall of property
during the last three years, cannot be re-
paired in the case Of thousands of worthy
men who have been broken down under
them. But new business is now going
well, and evidently getting better from
month to month. This Improvement must
continue to go on as fast as the best inte-
rests of the country allow; and we expect
TO see restoration Of brisk activity at an
earlier period than is generally supposed.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-The importance of
good roads from the Lake, to the interior,
is subject which is apparent to every one.
The roads from Fox river to Southport,
are such as renders the travelling to the
latter place, extremely unpleasant. By
the iaudabae spirit Of enterprise, pervading
the merchants and inhabitants Of Southport,
alight-house has been erected, and wharf
has been commenced, up to which, when
completed, steamboats, and sail vessels,
may come and discharge, and receive
freight, when the sea is not too rough.
am also happy to learn, that the people Of
Southport, have given assurances that be-
fore the close of autumn, they will meet
the Fox river settlements half way, with
a good road, which when completed, will
make the distance from Burlington to
Southport, only 25 miles. Thus, the pub
lie may hope that the day is not distant.
when fair and equal competition in the
forwarding, storage, and commission bu-
siness, on the lake-sho-e, will be conduct
ed in an honorable and liberal manner.
The facilities for shipping freight at Ra-
cine, are convenient: FIVE large scows, fur
nish ample means for conveying produce
on board of vessels; and in addition to this,
Racine has good road leading into the
interior.-In the winter Of 1889, an ap-
preparation Of $4,000, was granted by

WALwoRTH COUNTY, Aug %, 1910

MeSsrs. Editors, Sirs,
Permit me through the columns Of your
paper to make few remarks relative TO
the East Troy Female Seminary, conduct
ed by Mrs. Vail, and the examination that
has recently taken place at the close Of the
summer term. AS this institution has re-
Gently been established and its character
may not be extensively known, it may not
be improper to make few remarks rela-
tive to its character and location.
1t is pleasantly situated ON the Beloit
and Milwaukee road, in the town of East
Troy, Walworlh County, w. t., in the
vicinity of, and but short distance from,
four small, but beautiful sheets of water,
which, in connection with the blooming
tabe-land upon which it stands, renders
the scenery and walks about it truly de-
lightful. The building, although it pre-
sents no lofty dome to distinguish it as the
Temple OF Science, yet is sufficiently
large and commodious TO meet the present
wants Of the country. The terms for
board and tuition are most liberal, not only
as to price, but pay !; SO much SO that we
wonder, that the principal can sustain the
Institution, with SO much interest as she
does, tor the compensation she receives.
The Principal is a lady not only of high
literary attainments, but devoted piety
therefore, the whole influences ofthe school
are strictly moral This institution was
opened about six months since, and consi-
dering the newness of the country, and
the unparalleled hardness Of the times, as
to money affairs, it has been well-sustained.
Notice being given, that at the close Of
the summer term, which was on the 2Ist
inst, public examination would take place
at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, the Principal with an
interesting group of young ladies presen-
ted themselves, and commenced the exerci-
ses of the day, during which the several
classes were critically examined, in near
ly all Of the branches usually taught in in
sttutons of this kind, and suffice it 10 say,
that such was the good order, pleasantly,
and interest, with which the exercises were
conducted-not only on tie part Of the
Principal, but scholars-and the knowledge
evinced, and evidence of proficiency made
by the pupils, were such as left in the minds
OF the audience, the highest respect-not
only for the character of the school, but
literary attalnments, talents, and expert
ence of the Principal.
The Fall term Of this institution COM
mences on the seventh OF Sept. and we
would say to the young ladies Of this por-
ton Of Wisconsin, who wish 10 retreat
from the busy cares and tolls, of an early
settlement in the far West, and enjoy the
pleasures for few months, Of literary
feast; in no place do we know of, where
it can be more easily obtained--or under
the direction of more pleasing and inte-
resting Instructor than at the East Troy
Female Seminary.
A SPECTATOR OF THE EXAMINATION,

Electioms.-We gather from the N. Y i.
Journal Of Commerce, which by the by is
about the only paper in our exchange that
we can rely upon, some further informa-
ton with regard to the late elections. In
North Carolina, so far as returns have
been received, the vote on the gubernato-
rial question stands as follows; (,he table
comprising the vote in the counties heard
from, In 1910; and in the same counties on
the gu5ernatorial question, in 1889
1640 1888
Wing, 12776 1889
lem. 1890 ll04S
In the last legislature, the wings had
majority of fourteen on joint ballot. They
will retain, if they do not increase that ma
jority the present year.
ASabama.-The election in this state is
only for members Of the legislature. 1t
stands as follows: In the Senate, dem. 20,
whig, 13; in the House, dem SD, whig, 46.
1t stood last year, in the House, dem. 80,
wing, SO. The wings have gained in men,
bers of the legislature, but so far as the po-
pular has been cast, they have lost $40
votes.
Missouri.-The returns from this state
are not all in. The dem. majority in 1888
was 1855. Appearances indicate that it
will be about the same this year. Seven
Van Buren, members of the Legislature have
been gained, so far as heard.
In Indiana, the majority of Bigger, the
wing candidate for Governor, is ascertain
ed to be about s,57s votes. The legisla-
ture stands, senate, wing 81, dem. Is; in
the House, wing 70, dem. %.
In Kentucky, the wing majority is not
yet definitely ascertained; i. will probably
be as high as 1900. The wings have
large majority in both branches Of the le-
gislature

Dry Goods.-There was large sale Of
worsted stuff goods Wednesday, by the
package, at the store OF Messrs. Haggerty
d Sons, comprising the stock Of one Of
our largest importers. The sale drew to-
gether very large company from this CT
ty, and from almost all the other cities on
the Atlantic border; and it went off with a
spirit which surprised every one. The
prices were quite an advance on what could
have been obtained at any previous period
of the year, and the impression was left,
that the company would have taken anoth-
err equal if the goods had been offered, with
out any material falling of in prices.

SUGAR BEET.-The experiment of raising The SUI
gar beet, we understand has been fully tested in the
western part of this county and in Walworth county;
and from the experiments which have been made, it
is concusvey proved that the sugar beet be pro-
duced in Wisconsin to greater perfection than in New
York or New England Encouraged by these expe-
rments, some Of the citizens of this and Walwor,h
counties are DESTROYS of turning 10 a more profitable
account the raising Of this vegetable by the manu-
facture of beet sugar That the acture of beet
sugar VIII, at no distant day. become important
consideration to the people of Wisconsin, cannot be
questioned. The saving to this territory which
would be produced were enabled to manufacture
our own sugar, would form most important item in
lessenlng our expenses. The amount paid for i'm
ported sugars IN this territory during the last wear
caRaot be less than $4,000.
The discovery and manufacture of beet sugar. is
comparatively of modern origin: not more than ten
years ago, its manufacture in France was matter of
,ere experiment; more recently, it has surprisingly
increased and has now become an important produc-
ton of that kingdom, amounting many millions of
dollars annually. chemical analizatien of sugar
manufactured from the beet shows it 10 be one of
the most healthy Of saccharine substances
OF the practicability Of manufacturing sugar from
the beet in Wisconsin, there cannot be a reasonable
doubt; the only present difficulty which presents it,
SELF is the want of practical knowledge of the pro-
cess of lis manufacture. We rejoice that the enter
prise Of some Of our citizens Is becoming directed to
this subject and there be doubt of the ultimate
success of their efforts. We shall endeavor hereaf-
ter avail ourselves of such information as may be
found this subject in exchange papers, which
information shall be happy to give through our
columns for the benefit Of those interested.

The natives had previously heard the
missionaries preach in the meeting house
which had been built. :. At this period
Mr.. Bingham urged Liholiho to desist
from drinking but he would not consent.
He labored to persuade him to become
Christian, but in vain, for the king and
his men were Incorporate. He persever-
ed in his benevolent efforts to reform him,
but without, success the king promising
only that at the expiration Of five years
he would become reformed.
In the third year of Liholho's reign,
January I, 1922, the Hawaiian Pi-a-pa,
OR spelling book, was printed, which con-
tanned also small portions of the. Scrip
lures. The natives studied this first-book:
Llholiho gave some attention to letters
and the acquisition of religious truth. On
leaving for England, he requested his
people to attend to instruction until he
should return. Previous to- his departure
the first reinforcement of the mission had
arrived. After he left, the people. were
more attentive to books, ana few Of the
chiefs and people, had "laith in God as
agrain of mustard seed," and they "'beSan
to call on the name of the Lord" For

to the death Of Kaumualii the number
learning to read was greatly increased
SO also previous to the war on Kauai with
George Kaumualii, the number was much
augmented of those who embraced Chris

people became acquainted with the char

nevolcnt labors - their devotion to the
Instruction of the natives and, the ap.
Po'ntment of teachers for the islands of
Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. They
perceived that the missionaries harmo.
