PHILIP S. WHITE-Most of our readers recol-
lect that the above individual was at one time
employed by the Temperance men of this State
as public lecturer, at very large salary. He
was an effective speaker rather too theatrical IN
his manner and not sufficiently tolerant and
charitable in his spirit. He did good and he
did harm. he took liberties with the names
and the ayocation of private citizens, which
could not be regarded otherwise than unwar-
rantable, and there were not wanting those who
thought that with Mr. White, Temperance Lee
turing was mere trade. Unfortunately these
surmises appear to. have been too well founded,
and we regretto learn, from the Spirit of the Age,
the organ of the Temperance cause OF this State,
that he has indeed fallen from his Temperance
pledges, and is even said to be now connected
with the liquor trade in Philadelphia. We re-
gret this for its probable influence on the cause,
not we confess, because we are much surprised
By Mr.. Whites course, for our confidence in him
never was great.-Wl. Journal.
SUGAR CANE SEED FOR SrocE.-In addition
to the vast advantage to our country of the
Chinese Sugar Cane as a source of supply for
excellent syrup at very little cost, it has been
onr decided opinion, that an advantage of almost
equal Importance to the South will be derived
from the seed, as an abundant, nutr1tive, and
every way excellent food. Whether for hor-
ses, cattle, hogs poultry-what can be better?
And then the ease with which it can be pro-
duced-two or three fold the quantity that can
be raised of corn or oats upon the same ground
and this after taking the stalks for the manu-
facture Of syrup!
With a design, doubtless, to spoil this beauti-
full theory, some wiseacre reported in the wes-
tern papers-out near the sugar lands" OF
Louisiana and TcXas-that the seed of the
Chinese cane is poisonous, and that its use would
be destructive to stock We ewholly discredited
the report at the time. Since that we have
tested its beneficial effects upon poultry: In
vast many places, North and South, similar re-
suits have followed when fed to cattle and hor-
ses, they ut once dclighting in it, and fattcning
upon it. And now we have the full refutation
of the said slanderous report in the chemical
experiments Of Prof Jackson, of Boston, who
declares it wholly destitute Of all poisonous
qualities. We trust, therefore, that our agri-
cultural population will prepare to plant itlarge-
ly the coming spring. No other way tbat they
can plant will so richly remunerate their toll

A SHORT SERMON AND COOP OSE.-The
Rev. DR.. B, of Philadelphia, is noted for
brief seutentious sayings in the pulpit and out
of it. AS he was coming down Chestnut street
the other day, a gentleman asked him, "Sir,
can you tell me how to find the Sheriil's Office"
"Ycs, Sir" was the reply. every time you
earn five dollars, spend tenI' Saying this, the
Doctor walked on, leaving his questioner gap

had answered him wisely.
