The next Legislature.

Public attention will in short time
be directed TO the proceedings OF the
Legislature at Iowa City. The first
business and in the opinion Of the poll.
ticians probably the most impor'an, bus
mess Of the session will be the choice
Of U. S. Senator. There viii be sever.
a aspiran,s to this Office; but the result
OF the Presidential election has given to
Senator Jones an advantage which will
be almost certain 10 secure his re-elec-
zion. The disposal Of the Offices in To-

Old winter Is upon US again. He
comes this year early, and clothed in his
robes of snow, not in this his common,
but in our way off thinking. not in ap.
propria le habiliments. He has come at
all events wi,hou, motto e; finding few
we fear prepared to receive him; bu, he
is an memorable old fellow, cold hearted
and stern. coming and going when he
pieases; never stopping to enquire whe,h-
er the house is banked up. the corn gath
cred. and the wood up or not.
Such winter. thus ushered in and ac-
companied is no, after all, especially in
those regions where i, is common, de.
void Of attractions. To those whose ear.
lier years were mature in the colder and
sterner climate Of more northern la,i.
,ude, where
"Thick clouds ascend: in whose capaci-
Gus womb
A vapoury deluge lies. TO snow congeald.
Heavy they roll their feecy world aloug;
And the sky saddens with the gather'd
storm.
Through the hush'd air the whitening
shower descends,
At first thin wavenng; till at last the
fakes
Fall broad, and wide. and fast, dimming
the day.
With continual flow. The che rish'd
. fields
Put On their winter robe of purest
white" THOMSON.
Such winter brings up to the meno-
~. the most cherished and agreeable re.
COLLECTIONS. The days of boy hood; the
old school house; the snow balling. slid
ing and skating sports; the merry jung
ing Of the sleigh bells, and the sleigh
riding OF the boys and girls; the huge
fires and the happy meetings around
them wita the apples and (befnre the
Maine Law. the cider accompany men,s:
the re- unions under the old paiernal 70 Of,

limited turkies; pumpkin, mince, custa.d.
and apple pies. and the dishes Of all
sorts. roasted, baked. fried and Other
wise cooked; to say nothing Of love ma
king. marrying aud giving in marriage.
These are some of the recollec.ions of
winter. This season then as we recol-
lecs il, in spite of intense cold, sevcre
frost. aud deep snow, is not necessarily
q season Of inactivity sH aa ss''apmi but
has had. and may have. here as else
where, its comforts. pleasures and enjoy

our numerous friends, week by week.

sugar from Indian Corn and oil Of VII
riNl

A patent has been gsanteda at Washing
ton for process Of making sugar out of
corn. which, though familiar to all chemists,
is doubtless novel to most of our readers
A quantity Of corn meal is placed in boil
ser, to which is added nearly an equal quan
tity, by measure, of water, together with a
small proportion OF common oil of vitriol, or
sulphuric acid. The mixture is then boil.
ed at a very high temperature, when COM
mon brown sugar is produced, held in so
luton, Of course. with the acid. A quan,
tity Of common chalk is now thrown in,
which has the effect to remove the vitriol
from the sugar, the vitriol uniting to the
chalk, and falling with it as sediment to
the bottom ofzthe boiler. The liquid sugar
is then drained off into another vessel, boil
cd down to molasses, and finally crystaliz.
ed and clarified in the usual manner. We
imagine that an operating apparatus placed
in the Worlds Fair, and turning out Jumps
Of sugar made Of corn and vitriol, would
have made the crest of mankind" conclude
that the Yankees had a compact with the
witches, or some other supernatural power.
I be patentee of this process is Mr.. George
Riley of this city.
Sugar may be produced in the same man>
ner, from common starch, corn stalks and
other fbrous substances. The process
affords fns example of what chemists
call Gatalysis. Though sugar is produced,
yet the nature and strength Of the yitriol is
not whit altered, neither is the original
quantity diminished. The same vitriol
would, therefore, suffice to convert an indefi.
mite amount Of meal into sugar.
. We hope the day is not far distant when
more attention will be paid to the subject
Of chemistry as branch of education than
it now receives in most Of our common
schools. Though the process above describe
ed SENS wonderful, il is no more strange
than the phenomena presented by the com.
bustion OF tallow candle. How few
know that burning candle is, in effect a
gas-lght-the melted tallow, or carbon, be-
ing raised BY capillary attraction to the
centre Of The flame, which being hollow,
forms retort wherein the tallow is sub.
jected TO an immense beat, and thus convert
ed into Illuminating gas, in precisely the
same manner as the carbon in the huge re-
tor's al the gas mandatory il turned into
gas.--M Y San.
