INDIAN CORN.

Maize, or Indian corn, originated in A
merica and is not yet, we think, cultivated
to an extent upon the European continent.
Though the people of Great Britain can
not be made to appreciate IFS merits very
fully. the aggregate exports of corn in
1856, in the form of whole grain, meal,
corn starch, farina, &C., amounted to
between seven and eight million dollars,
or about one- e-fortieth of the whole exports
of the country, and $500, 900 bushels,
considerably more than half, went TO
England alone.
Corn has always been an important
article in this country, both of consump-
ton and export. The total amount of
this produce exported in ITO. was
57S. e59 bushels; 1871. 9 2.O63. $50 BUSH
els, of which 35l sos were Indian meal
The value Of corn and its manufactures
exported from the U. States in 1880, was
s597, 119; in 1885. 81. .2l7. sos; in $40.
SI,O43. SIC; in 1845, S1,053, ,983; in
1850, 81. .65s. .8O4. The export increase
more rapidly than the production. The
export of corn quadrupled between 1910
and 1850, while the production did not
quite double.
The great amount of invention bestow-
ed on corn planters, corn cutters, shell
lers, cob grinders, etc., tends each year
to promote the increase of production
1t has been estimated that, as general
rule seven POUNDS of corn will produce
one pound of pork; so that in localities
where through distance from market or
from transportation facilities, the cereal
cannot be raised at profit for sale, it is
frequently the material used in fattening
the more concentrated form of diet, and
and on which, consequently the freight

CUR HOUSE.

We always look upon our houses as
mere temporary lodgings. We are al
ways hoping to get larger and finer ones
are forced some way or other to live
where we do not choose, and in contin-
ual expectation of changing our place
of abode. In the present state of socl-
ETY. this is in a great measure unavoId-
able, but let US remember it is an evil,
and SO far as it is avoidable it becomes
our duty to check the impulse. 1t is
surely a subject for serious thought,
whether it might not be better for many
Of us. if, in attaining certain position
in life, we determined, with Gods per-
mission, to choose a house in which we
could live and die-a home not to be in
creased by adding stone to stone and
field to field, but which, being enough
for all our wishes at that period, we
should be resolved to be satisfied with
| forever. Consider this, and also wheth-
er we ought not to be more in the habit
of seeking honor from our descendant:
than our ancestors; thinking it better to
be nobly remembered than nobly born,
and striving to live that our sons sons
for ages to come, might still lead theil
childred reverentially to the doors ou
of which we have been carried to the
grave, saying "look, this was his house
this was his chamber" r."-Ruskin.

THE CHARGE OF MAY.
A LEGEND OF MEXICO.
BY GEORGE LIPPARD.

There was day when an old man
with white hair sat alone in a small
chamber of national mansion, his spare
but muscular figure resting in an arm
chair, his hands clasped. and his deeI
blue eyes gazing through the winter
sky. The brow OF the old man furrow-
ed with wrinkles, his hair rising in
straight masses, white as the driven
snow, his sunken cheeks trayersed by
marked lines, and thin lips, fixed COM
pressed, all announced long stormy
life. All the marks of an iron will were
written upon his face.
His name, need not tell you was An

A visitor entered without being an

AS be stood before the President, CAP
in hand, the dark hair falling in damp
clusters about his white forehead, the old
man could not help surveying at rapid
glance, the muscular beauty of his fig
ure, the chest, the sinewy arms, the
head placed proudly on the firm shoul-
ders.
Your businesss' said the old man in
his abrupt way.
There is Lieutenancy vacant in the
Dragons. Will you give it to me?''
And dashing back the dark hail
which fell over his face, the boy, as il
frightened at his boldness, bowed low
before the President.
The Old man could not restrain that
smile. 1t wreathed his firm lip, and
shone from his clear eyes.

MANUFACTURE OF M0LASSEs
FROM SUGAR CANE.

The Cincinnati GazeRe has a commu-
nication from a Warren County agricul-
turist who gives some straight forward
practicable ideas upon the culture of
sugar cane and the manufacture of sy-
rup. He says:
On our farm in Warren county we
planted an acre of sugar cane the last
week in May. 1t grew fnely-tall and
plump. We let the stocks become ripe,
seeds we'll matured and brown ripe, for
the better matured and ripened the stalks
all the better--eyen frost or two thrown
in will make the juice the more sweeter
and the more of it. We then cut them;
cut the tops and stripped the blades OF
we then ground them in common
cider mill, placing the grinding appara-
tus as near together as possible. Run
ming through couple of times, took out
all the juice-a full pint to stalk on
an average. We then strained the juice
cleverly, placed it in kettles. and com
menced the boiling operation. We put
into each thirty gallons, on beginning to
boil, a tablespoonful of official lime
water, (lime and water mixed will dc J
adding the same occasionally, and SKIM
ming off the green scum whenever it
arose. About four tablespoonsful oI
lime water to the thirty gallons is suffi-
cient, though it is better too much than
not enough. Going on in this way for
eight or ten hours, we had pure, beauti-
ful, and finely tasted molasses.
1t is no more difficult to make syrup
from the sugar cane than to make II
from the maple tree-the one being just
as simple as the other. Two or three
strainings, proper attention to skimming.
s0eH builing, the proper addition of lime
water 10 neutralize the acid, and we have
just as good molasses, better, than what
we now pay one dollar gallon for.
II. w.
Two gentlemen residing in Wabash
county, Illinois, write to the Chicago
Press, Oct 9d, that they are making a
barrel of superior Sorghum molasses
daily, and shall continue 10 do so until
cold weather. They alse say that the
fodder saved will pay the expense ol
raising the cane. They have twenty
acres of the cane, snd the yield will be
about one hundred gallons to the acre,
of syrup superior to Louisiana.
The editor of the Mansfield Herald
has visited Newark, near which a Mr..
Weirick is manufacturing syrup or mo-
lasses from the Chinese Sugar Cane
Mr.. w. has mill to which the cultiva
tors of the sorghum bring their supply
of cane. About a hundred acres in
Licking county have been planted this
year. The syrup is fully equal to the
New Orleans article, and it is said, an
acre of cane will yield one hundred and
fifty gallons. No sugar has yet been
made by Mr.. w.
! The 81. Louis Democrat Of the 1e,h
says:
TWENTY-FIVE barrels OF Eolasses
made from the Sorghum. or Chinese Su-
! .-ar Cane, were sold en- Change yester-
day morning at so cents per gallon. It
was shipped from below, and is present
ed as an excellent article"

WHEN THAT NOTE WAS DUE.

A man in Boston (of course. was
sorely prosecuted by an avaricious busi.
ness acquaintance, to pacify whom he
was obliged TO setlle;" and not wishing
TO pay over a few hundred in cash, he
drew up a note obligating himself to dis
charge the account after specified date
of time. The creditor, who was noted
for his "stoeking principle" was not, in
justice, really entitled to the money;
but when thirty days after date expired,
he anxiously presented the note for pay
ment. The debtor, instead of meeting
it, replied:
"The note is not due, sir
"But it is, though. 1t reads thirty
days after date, l promise TO pay so and
So, and thirty one days have elapsed
since the date thereof; and so'-
al don't care if thirty-one years have
elapsed since the date of the note, l
shall contend for its immaturity," an
swered the debtor, interupting the
not very good natured note-holder,
who soon made his exit, slamming the
the street door after him. muttering in
coherently about law, jud sment, execu
tions, &c.
In few days both parties were be-
fore a magistrate, who, on concluding the
investigation, proclaimed that he must
certainly award Judgment" against the
debtor for the full amount of the note,
and the cost of the prosecution besides.
"Aud what then?" inquired the de-
fendant.
