A MlLphas already been invented to
manufacture sugar from the Chinese sugar
cane, by a Mr.. Hedges, of CINCINNATI
We hope our farmers will take that iute-
rest in this new product which its impor-
lance merit. Al the present time, sugar
is M of the best paying Of agricultural
products; and the comparatively small por-
ZION of the country devoted 10 its culture
and manufacture, guarantees, for an in
definite time to come, handsome returns
from it, at a much less price than il now
commands. But even if this new Sigar
cane is used only for the production of
syrup, the north still gains largely, S v
enty-five cen is now the average price
of good syrups; but i, can be made here
for less than half that sun. Let the sugar
cane and buckwheat be as necrncighbors
in this growth as their produces are al The

department of our family;
For some time past | have eaten very
excellent bread made with yeast in the
following manner:-take rs much pulvcr-

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATURES,

TUESDAY, april zls
SENATE.-NIr. White, from the Committee
on Retrenchment and Reform, made report,
which was LAID on the table and ordered to be
printed.
The Committee, after detailing the difficult
flies attendant upon such an investigation, give
table, which includes the ordinary expend-
itures and receipts Of the ten years from 1847
to 1886, inclusive, and add:
% From the foreg Jing statement we find,
that while the income in l847 was $500, 1852,
and in 1856, $1,328,8O5. the expenditures
have gone up from $478,855 in the former
year, to 81, 1926, 096 in the latter And the
Auditor estimates the deficiency for the year
1857 at $52O,594
In looking at the items of expenditure, the
first and greatest appears under the head of
legislative expenses.
As bearing upon this subject, we present,
in tabular form, the statistics Of the Legisla-
ture for l 0 years, beginning with l847-show-
ing the amount of the pay rolls CO the House

A GOOD SPEo.-The entire property of the

pany, near the depot, in East Brookfeld, was sold
az public auction, yesterday. 1t embraced ten or
twelve acres of the best clay land in the State,
Woodwork brick machine, steam engine, carts,
wheelbarrows, three hundred cords of wood, and
four hundred thousand pressed brick, of superior
quality. The property cost the company, little
more than year since, the sum of thirty.six
thousand dollars, and it was sold for six thousand
nine hundred. Mr.. C. B. Pratt of this city, was
the purchaser, and, in his hands, we donbt not
that it will prove most profitable speculation,
for he has the energy, enterprise, and capital to
carry forward to a successful consummatiOn what
ever he undertakes.

The Constitutional Amendment, !.

Our readers may not be generally appraised of
the fact, that on Friday, May l, the people of the
Commonwealth are to vote upon three proposed
amendments to the Constitution, which have
passed two successive Legislatures. The first
one is as follows
No person shall have the right to vote. or be
eligible to office under the Constitution of this
Commonwealth, who shall not be able to read the
Constitution IN the English language, and write
his name
PyoDtded, hoDeoer. that the provisions of this
amendment shall not apply to any person pre-
vented by physical disability from complying
with its acquisitions, nor to any person who now
has the right to vote, nor to any person who.
shall be sixty years Of age and upwards at the
time this amendment shall take effect.
Against this, the vote Of every liberal.minded
person should be cast W
The second article Of amendment proposes
a districting Of the State for members Of the
House, cutting the representation down to $40.

Lord FALMERsToN, whose ministry viii be
continued BY tue result of the recent elections in
England, is over seventy years Of age. He occu-
pies the most influential position, probably, as
regards the political destines Of Europe. and the
world generally, of any man living. In many re-
spects, he is the most remarkable parsonage now
on the stage of life having held office longer than
any of his contemporaries.
The Newark Adreytiser, in an interesting
sketch OF him. says:
Lord Palmerston has held office nineteen
years under the Tories, and about sixteen years
under the Wings He was the Secretary of War
who signed warrants for the conveyance Of Ma
poleon l. to St. Helena, and he was the Secreta-
~ Of State who offended his Sovereign by recog
nlzing that Napoleon II. had commenced to
reign. As the English cricketers would saw. she
mas had the longest innings on record" His of.
hces, too, appear to have been no sinecures He
was Secretary of War at war time; and his six.
teen years of foreign searetaryship were sixteen
years of attempts to break the peace With the
pressure Of age he has nothing to do-the daring
ana the indifference of youth are the salient
points OF his character to this day; and from the
time when he, on behalf of Canning undertook
TO crush the Duke, to that manifesto OF few
years since, when in answer to some Scotch cler-
gymen who petitioned him to advise her Majesty
10 hX day for a national fast on account OF the
enolera, and he suggested they had better look
atteT the town drainage he has always manifest
eo ihe same energy, spirit, AMI humor. He is
sald TO be the only peer OF pure Saxon descent,
and he has always been the intensest Englishman
