PIONEER BANQUET.-The old pioneers and
Banquet at the Dennison House, in that city
on Friday evening. Seventy light members
of the association sat down to tho, tables
There were persons present who came to Gin
cinnati in 1880, in 1892, in 1875, and nearly
all the others from those dates up to 1912.
One of the toasts were:
Our Pioneer Fathers, and Mothers-Amid
the hardships and privations of a savage
haunted wilderness, they laid the broad found
alton on which has since been reared in count
less hosts of grateful and happy children.
The changes Witnessed by these men,
when reviewed, must seem like pleasant
dreams, rather than sober realities.

OF One Of the greatest triumphs Of modern
engineering, was the bold and successful at
tempt of Mr. Elicit, to carry the Virginia Cen
trail Railroad Chat is to extend from Rich
mond to the Ohio river at the mouth Of Big
Sandy oyer the summit of the Blue Ridge
mountains. The track over the mountain was
laid for the temporary purpose Of keeping up
the line Of the main stem, while tunnel was
being cut through the mountain. Fhe tempo
rary road is called the Mountain Top track,
and the grade on it is 296 feet per mile or one
foot one inch in twenty feet, the highest ever
attempted. The locomotives are now passing
over it daily, carrying trains Of fifty tons each,
proving by their achievements that the Alps,
or our highest mountains, may be scaled by
the locomotive with its train. Mr.. Elicit says,
we should no longer regard mountainous re-
gons as excluded from the benefits Of Rail
roads. The American locomotive can now
penetrate into the most retired valleys of the
mountains, and bring forth the products of in
dustry Wherever man can go to cultivate
the earth profitably. there the locomotive can
follow and bring away the produce of his toll.
This experiment is likely to make new era
in railroad construction.

- The tape worm is saidlto be engender-
en- in the human stomach by the use of pork.
The Hebrews are never troubled with them;
dogs fed on pork are invariably affected with
them. The facts of their origin in the human
stomach have been proven by experiments on
condemned criminals. If this medical theory
be true, we should expect to see the Ken
tuckians and boosters pretty full Of them.

o. The Grand Jury, at recent term Of
Superior Court in New York city and county,
passed upon 1900 complaints and found 702
true bills in three weeks time. The District
Attorney gave notice at the close. of Court,
that he should petition the Legislature at the
present session to give the county two more
Grand Juries, and that such step was neces-
sary to dispatch the criminal business of the
city and county, which had been greatly
neglected by his predecessors in office.

6F A decision has recently been made in
the Supreme Court Of Maryland, upon a
promissory note, which although it may not
be entirely new, will be of interest to our
merchants and commercial men generally
The note was given for goods purchased in
New York, and not being paid at maturity in
terest accrued thereon. Subsequently the
Maryland merchant rendered the amount Of
the note, with 6 per cent interest, the legal
rate of Maryland; which was refused, and Z
per cent, the legal rate of New York demand
ed The suit was brought for the per cent
interest The Court held that the place
where the contract was made must govern the
the rate of interest. The note having been
given in New York, 7 per cent interest was
allowed.

quest, given statement Of the present years

was none tooiarge for the consumption. II
the present crop be fourth less, prices must
run to high figure before the end of the year.

I THE SUGAR MILLET.-Among others who
have Experimental with the Chinese sugar
cane, in. this section of country, is PETER
SaABPE, Esq, of this county who received a
small package of seed from the Patent Office
last spring, which he planted and which grew
luxuriantlyy and his experiment proved quite
as successful as any that have been reported
by others. His cane was very large and per-
feet in its growth. ,Haying no suitable appa-
ratus to grind the cane he laid by nearly all
the product for fodder; and he finds it equal
to the best feed for his stock. The cattle de-
your it with as much greediness as the best
hay. Mr.. SHARPE constructed rude mill
and crushed a small quantity of the cane
from which he procured molasses equal to the
best New Orleans syrup. Ten good sized
stalks of the Millet yielded one gallon of sy.
rup; and he thinks an average crop of cane
would yield from $50 to 800 gallons Of molas
ses to the acre.
many Of our neighboring farmers will begir
the business Of raising the cane next spring
and we hope to have the pleasure of quoting
