beautiful as they bursted high in air aud
came downward like shower of falling
stars. A procession was formed but
where were the torches. Not one-they
love darkness rather than light. They
passed the Wing tavern, our office, and
the club room quietly and offered no
indignity, but in other parts of the town
they behaved indecent!y, and beloved
and bawled about wing houses where The
ladies' were alone and unprotected.
The order was sent abroad some DAYS
ago that an OK was to be roasted, and it
was the prospective ''roast beeC,n that
brought into town the distinguished suan-

was not. They can now turn on the

beef but gave il no, unto u.s.

CORN STYLK Sugar.

Mr.. John Beal, of New Harmony, Ia.
has made 395 lbs. of good sugar this sea
son from the cornsiaIks that grew on
three quarters OF all acre. This is at the
rate Of 500 lbs. per acre. His plan is thus
briefly noticed in the Cleave!and Herald.
"When the care begin to form they arc
pulled of, When the leaves are dead,
about half way up the stalk stripped Of

and then ground in sugar mill. Tween

this is ground sugar. Mr.. b. made 50 lbs

In 100, when the first census was taken
Virginia had nearly twice as many inhab
tants as any other state in the union. Penn
sylvania was next, North Carolina next, Mas
sachusetts next. and New York next. In
1900 Virginia was still first and Pennsylva.
mia next; New York had outstrippcd North
Carolina and Massachusetts,. In 1910 Vir-
ginia still maintained her ascendancy; New
York had outstripped Pennsylvania, and was
close on the heels of Virginia. In 1880,
New York had FIR exceeded Virginia in her
population, as had also Pennsylvania. In
1910, New York had twice as many inhabi-
tants as Virginia, and PENNSYLVANIA nearly
half as many more. North Carolina in /. 90
had 1904 inhabitants more than Massachu-
sets; in 1910, II 900 more.
Some curious facts with regard to longev-
ity are shown. Thus, in Virginia. among
the free white population, 96 were over 100
years Of age; Of the free colored people, 36 ;
of the-s slaves comprising but one third of the
100 were over 100 hundred years
of age. 1t would seem that dleness and
luxury are even more fatal in their charac-
ter, than unmi,igated toll

Amelia Norman, is the name of young
woman recently on trial in New York, fol
stabb;ng with intent TO kill, a man by the
name of Ballard. The stabbing was clearly
proved, but the verdict in the case was not
guilty. This fact clearly proves the Unequal
character of the laws, and their utter ineffic-
iency in producing any favorable influence
on the evils of society. 1t was shown that
the man Ballard had by continual deception
and answering purpose, reduced this girl
from the respectable walks of life, 0 be the
most degraded and miserable of her SEX
To have killed her dead when he first saw
her, would have been an act of mercy com
pared with the result Of his conduct; yet for
her there was no law, no protcction--and
yet her merciless prosecutor appeared in
court to claim the protection of the law
against the phrenzy to which he had brought
her. The verdict was against the law, but
no Jury would have dared to condemn heI
under the circumstances.

And what is the result of building up this

The New York Courier gives the fol-
loving description of the speaking machine,
invented in that city, 10 which we lately
re(erred:
"lts outward appearance is very simple.
A Turks head, with turban aud long beard,
faces the spectator, and the words are ut
tered by movements Of the lips, the tongue,
the palate, and all the articulaiing organs,
precisely as in tie living person. These
movements are produced by machinery
concealed beneath drapery bchiad the
figure, and moved by keys at its tight. -
These keys are sixteen in number, each
reT resen;ing particular sound 1t re.

which the machinery thus manufactures

alphabet, counted fifty, gave the Latin
titles Of several European Monarchs, held
an edifying conversation with us about the
weather, sang German song and babe
lis good day in n very distinct and courie-
Gus phrase. The ulterance is Of course
very slow, and sometimes difficult and
Indistiuct; but it is easy To see that the
fault lies in an inability TO work the keys
with sufficient rapidly, md not in any
want Of vocal organs. 1t is certainly very
curious, and shows that the inventor, who
is an Austrian. Is possessed Of great skill
md ingenuity"

TYLER, RfvEs, CLAY AND WEBSTER


The grand coalition, is Tow probably
completed. From presen, appearances,
the quarrel between Mr.. Tyler and Mr..
Clay, Mr.. Clay and Mr., Wcbste For the
friends OF each, has been amicabIy ndjus-
ted. The matter was arranged al the din.
ner party given by Mr., Mangum, and
which wo noticed in our las; paper. The
Globo ma1es some remarks upon the
The solemn League and Corenant," and
notices the accounts which have been given
OF II III the Newly ork Commercial, Expire s,
Herald, Richmond Compiler, and Boston
Courier, all Of which go to establish the
fact that the discordant materials Of Wing
gerry have come together, and that hereai.
Ter, perfect union, good feeling, and good
.tetloTship are TO prcraH.
The Globe says: "Accordng to the He
raids hint, appears that Mr.. Tyler is sup
posed TO have share in the benefit of
these healing councils. There is 10 be no
separation between Mr.. rs Ter and Mr..
Hives; and therefore, VIC suppose, as Mr..
Rives goes for Clay, Mr.. Tyler goes wi h
him. As 'tNr. Clay holds ont Mr.. Man
gum, as his right hand, to Mr.. Webster" so
II is fairly inferrible tina, Mr.. Tyler holds
out Mr.. Rivcs as his right hand to Mr.
Clny. The dinner, then, by means Of these
proxies, was meant TO be feast of love

which all the quarrels for the spoils they
had obalncd were TO be composed, and
new schemes Of rapne devised, TO be car
RED out, as entered into, over the bottle. J
by renewal Of the riot and corruption OF
the bard cider campaign"
The Courier, Of Monday, in an editorial
IS pretty clear upon this point. The editor
remarks:-"We repeat what we have often
said, that JONI TYLER is man more SIN
ne against than SHINING. We believe that
others are yielding 10 the s1me opinion
