i The separation of the crystals from the
mother liquor in which they are found, is eff
iected IN most ingenious and efficient man.
ner by the use OF the air pump. The trans.
formation from the most repulsve and un-
wholesome-looking black sugar into fine
white sugar, is completed in one-seventh Of
second by this process. The principle
adopted is precisely that employed in ' gas
sing lace-an operation resorted TO for the
purpose of removing the minute filaments OF
cotton adhering to the surface of the fabric.
In the case of the crystals of sugar, a thin
film Of fluid matter is required to be remov-
ed from the surface of the crystal, and this is
effected by bringing it in contact with water
"a material which would as quickly dissolve
the crystal itself, as the flame of the gas
would destroy the delicate and fragile web of
the bobbin net. How can the water be thus
brought into contact with the sugar for such
a shrtDerIod, and in such a manner as only
to remove the outer coating of moIasses, and
leave the crystal uninjured' The process is
a very simple one. A table OF nine feet in
circumference is made to revOlve eight times
per minute, having coating of sugar spread
over it to the depth Of half an inch, and
which, consequently, moves over space off
seventy-two feet per minute. AT one part of
Its revolution the table is made to pass under
pipe OF two inches in diameter, from which
shower of water is falling, and as the pipe
is but one-slxth of foot in diameter, and
the table passes it at the rate of seventy-two
feet per minute, it follows that each portion
which comes under the falling water, will be |
retained only l-432 of minute in each re-
volution. This table being covered with thin
brass wire gauze, has placed Immediately |
under it vacuum chamber, into which the |
falling water, carrying with it the semi-fluid
coating ofmolasses, is drawn as the table |
revolves; the crystaIized sugar remains on
the surface, pure and white, and is delivered
by scraper into the hogshead placed for its
reception.

/ The PERILs OF MATRIMONIAL LIFE.-We
turned aside from our path for space, to
visit an object of some curiosity, which is one
of the lions of the Eastern Shore This
is an ancient vault, belonging to member
of the 'Custis family, branch of the same
stock with which Washington intermarried.
| 1t lies upon a fine old farmstead, looking out
upon the bay, and occupies the centre of
large field, the only prominent object, shell
| tered by some old trees. This vault is of
in state of dilapidation. The curious fca-
ture about it consists in its inscription, which
runs thus:
| Under this marble tomb lies the body of the
Hon. JOHN CUsTIs, Esq,
of the city of Williamsburg and Parish Of
Burton; formerly of Hungar's Parish, on the
Eastern shore of Virginia, and county Of
Northampton, aged II years, and yet Tired
bit seren gears, lrhich lras The space Of time he
kept Bachelors Home at arlington, on the
Eastern shore of Virginia
This inscription, we are told by another,
on the opposite side, was put on the tomb by
his own positive orders. The gist of it Is.
our lady readers will be pleased to perceive,
consists in the lines we have italicised; the
force of which will be better felt and under
stood from the additional fact, which does
not appear, that this bachelor, who lived in
his bachelor condition, was actually married
three times. His experience, if we are to be-
lieve his epitaph, was greatly adverse to the
idea of any happiness in the married state;
yet how strange that he should have ventured
thrice upon it, The natural conclusion is,
that Hon. John Gusts was a singular Just
and conscientious man, who, unwilling to do
the sex any wrong by premature judgment,
gave them full and fair trial, at the ex-
pense of his own happiness, and pronounced
judgment only after his repeated expert
ments.
Tradition has preserved anecdotes of the
sort of experience which he enjoyed in the
married state, one of which | will relate 1t

The Crescent City Affair.

The Crescent City affair is at last settled
The Governor General of Cuba takes Mr.
Purser Smiths recent affidavit as satisfac
tory, and admits him and whatever vessel he
serves upon to the port of Havana, and tc
quiet Obscurity as before
! The President of the United States is not
however, so easily satisfied He has pub.
lshed letter, addressed to Collector Max.
Mr.. Law shall not place the Government in
the wrong, and that the question must now
be settled between the Government of Spain
and the United States, and Mr.. Law must
await the result. Mr. Law has complied
with the Presidents desire in the matter.
Capt Davenport has been withdrawn, and
no other Government officer will be allowed
to command a steamer of Laws line until
the owners thereof evince disposition not to
interfere farther in Cuban affairs.
The Postmaster General has given orders
that the u. S. mails will not be again des-
patched on the Crescent City, or any other
of the Company's steamers having Purser
Smith on board. The mails will be sent to
Charleston, and thence by the steamship Isa-
bel 10 Havana
In the meantime Cuba remains quiet
The Island is covered with small military
stations, and the Government keeps, in its
own peculiar way, strict watch upon pass
ing events. The Captain General does not
appear to find many supporters, at least, ac-
cording to the correspondence of the United
States papers, who are unanimous in abusing
him.
The New York Herald of the 9th, SAYS;
The news brought from Havana by the
steamship Empire City, which arrived at this
port yesterday, is not so late by one day as
that received by the steamer Isabel at Char
lesion Our letters say nothing whatever
tending to corroborate the report of the lat
ter as to the settlement of the Crescent City
difficulty; but, as the Empire City left on the
29th November, it is probable that the con-
arrangements were made next day,
on the eve of which the Isabel left
Our advces by the Empire City, however,
are Of most important and interesting cha
racter inasmuch as they confirm the state
ments hitherto made as to the increasing ac-I
tivity manifested in carrying on the slave
trade, and the proportionate determination
eyinced by the British Government to put il
down and compel Spain to observe her treaty
stipulations. The traffic with the coast of
Africa, for the purchase and landing Of slaves
on the island of Cuba, is carried on to an
extent greater than heretofore; and not only
do the authorities connive at it, but Queen
Christina and Captain General Canedo are
said to be largely interested in the expedi-
tions.
The Island is now encircled by the cruis-
ers of the English fleet, for the purpose of in
tercepting vessels engaged in the slave trade.
The Government of Great Britain is resolved
to annihilate the traffic, the last vestige of
which is now only to be found in connection
with Cuba; and if no other mode can be
found available, as present appearances indi-
cate, they will decidedly favor the transfer
Of the island TO the United States

A Dream.


"A dream which not all a dream" Braor
The other night, when slumbers soft
Across my thoughts had crept,
Ny visions carried me away
To scenes long had left
crossed again the oceans flood
And on the shore I proudly stood
Where Freedom ne 'er has wept
saw the mansion of my sires,
As Oft I'd done before
The same old cedars spread their boughs
Above that halowed door;
And fastened to embrace the loved .
And loving ones of that abode
With an intense desire.
Twas vain-all vain. no welcome voice
Responded to my call;
But solemn echoes swept along
That homes deserted halls
They were joyous once-but silent now
As the gloom that dwelt among each bough
OF those eedars old and tail.
turned to leave that hallowed spot
My boyhood's earliest home;
Precious alike on burning waste,
Or on the oceans foam:
But as 1 turned, stranger-face
All pale, met my bewildered gaze;
twore an awful gloom.
Her words fell on my trembling ear,
In accents sad and de ep;
And, as she spoke, silent tear
Stole down her pale check
She told me of a we-known place
Where waved the cypress in its grace,
O'er deaths unconscious sleep.
visited a funeral mound
Beneath those cypress trees;
The tall grass gently waved around,
And see n to whisper peace.
Upon that monumental stone
read an autograph well known
It marked my mothers grace.
A mist came sweeping oer my sight
That well confirmed my fears
Ny spirit seemed te feel the blight
Offwice a thousand years;
How oft beneath the parenttree
Had reposed. but to me
Its lovely bloom scared.
Pang followed pang Of fearful power
As stood by that grave;
Itseemed that DER fercely rolled
Afliiction's iarkest wave.
My mothers hand, placed on my head
As for me, when child she prayed
Came il e again
Her tears, so eloquent-her prayers
For me when in my earlier years;
The pleadings of her dying tongue,
When thinking of piIgrm-son
These, and housand things beside,
Came back like sunbeams Ger the tide
Of ocean in a calm
Icalled her by her name, and thought
heard her whisper once;
IIistcned-'twas npught but the wind
That sighed a cold response
sat communiny with the dead
Her soft hand resting my head
Till morn dspeiled the charm. WI

frain from saying to our friends who are

WHEREAS, We learn that the Burling

that efforts are making TO prejudice the
minds of said company with the belief
that the people OF this vicinity are op.
posed to said road and its construction

position of the people of this vicinity
to the voting of loan by said county Is
made use of as evidence TO the opposi-
ton of locating a Railroad through JEFF.

asserted positively on the stump sha, IN.
less the county did vote such stock the

of road. and passing, as it does, through
one OF the bes, farming portions of the
county and over the most extensive coal
