THE DgcirNE IN SuoAR.- The stock Of SUI
gar on hand in New York yesterday. as we
learn from the New York Post, is not less than
100000 hhds, besides from $4,000 to 10000
hllds. Melado. The Post states that the de-
cline in price on this stock since the LIST
instant, including reduction Of duty, is at
least two and a half or three millions Of dol
lars. The fall is fully Ii cents per pound on
general qualities, and the market remains de-
pressed. Recent importations from the
West Indies. costing II cents, have been
sold in lots at 81 cents. As we stated some
time since, the Eastern and Western States,
have produced largely from the maple tree,
and the decrease of demand on the NewYork
market from that quarter is enough Of itself
to affect prices seriously. Every table in
the West is supplied with maple syrup and
sugar Of home make. We think that the
price Of sugur has reached the highest point,
aud IRON the present time rapid decline
may be looked for.

The woman occupying the lower floor cut him
down, threw him down stairs, held his head
in pail Of water until life was restored, and
then larruped him soundly with The strap.
Afterwards he went into her room and began

SuIcIpE.--A young man named Finch has
hanged himself in Iowa from remorse at hav-
ing assisted in the hanging Of the horse
thieves. Finch was the son Of "a deacon, and
his suicide followed hard upon rebuke from
his mother, who very properly warned him
that he had no right to take the life Of another.
But what sad mistakes are made! The
young man did not consider that the maternal
warning was equally strong against his taking
his own life.

On the voyage of importation, coffee
sometimes becomes damaged by contact

frequently with biIge-water. The worst

politely as a lady would turn her hand ii
bidding adieu. But quickly as ii fasI
the flukes few to the other side, cut an
other boat clean in two, and broke the
third mates leg.
I Here was pretty mess; twelve sinners
overheard in bloody water, surrounded by
sharks, and, at the same time, liable to be
smashed in pieces by the whales f1ukes
but the venerable patriarch, apparently
satisfied with what he had done, left US to
the care of sharks, and padded away
with two irons and boat line.
To right the boat was the work of a
few minutes, and in half an hour she was
an ark of safety, with all hands on board.
The whale made toward the ship, ran
round and round few times, and turned
up fin out and head sunwards. He made
.95 barrels.
The mate and second mate, unable to
capture the other whale, returned to the
ship; but that same afternoon, the Par
son saw him, or another fellow like him,
and hud the pleasure of fastening him al
so. The three whales made 270 barrels
of oil.
In six weeks, the Parson saw and
struck four large and twelve school
whales, and never missed one. This
uniform success induced the captain to
give him charge of the third mates boat,
in which he killed some half dozen
whales, when he had three of his ribs
stove in and was sent ashore at Guam, to
procure medical attendance, and remain
ed there six months. Whaling is not
unlike war, every loweriBg is battle in
which all are liable to lose their lives.
But the whaler requires more skill and
courage than the soldier or man of wars
man. He must think and act at the
same time, there are no rules given by
which he can govern himself, for every
whale he attacks is apt to show some new
saper, against which he must provide on
he instant. Our whalemen, with a little
martial training, would make the most |
sailors in the world, as they
are certainly the most intelligent and
iaring.

Sad Result of Cruel Punishment.

! From the Louisville Journal we
clip the following
Some three or four years ago. the
son of the warden of prison in a
neighboring State-a bright, intelli.
gent, handsome boy, of seventeen
was detected by his father in the COM
mission ofan offence. The father ar
raigned his child, stripped him of his
ordinaryclothing, shaved his hair from
his head and dressed him in the striped
| garb OF a convict, confined him within
the wall of a penitentiary--there to re-
| main until theunnatural parent should
see fit to release him. For weeks the
boy, unable to help himself, underwent
the rigid discipline of the prison and
performed the duties assigned to the
convict, the most humiIiating and de>
graded Of which was to appear in the
public thoroughfares of his native
town and assist with team engaged
III hauling. Citizens shook their heads
and public execration toward the war;
den became so strong and decided that
he was compelled at once to restore
his son to liberty and he became very
near being turned out of bis office.
As soon as released, the dishonered
boy, broken in pride and spirit, fed
from his home, and nothing was heard
OF him until at length he turned up in
the California courts, accused ofburg>
larry. He was acquitted, and about
year since returned to the Atlantic
States, going from one to another of
our large cities, and plnnging into
every species Of dissipation and vice.
A few months since he was arrested in
one of our principal cities for arson
and robbery, had his trial, and received
for his sentence ten years solitary con-
finement in the penitentiarY, and but
last week was brought back to the
home of his boyhood, one Of the gang
of thirty chained feIons, in charge Of
the sheriff. He met at the PRISONS
threshold his own father, still the war
den. And so near his father, mother,
brothers and sisters, who are all res
spectacle members of society, he must
serve out his long and dreary term Of
punishment.

What we Drink.

| No other people on the face of the earth
indulge in such variety of beverages as
do we, the people of these United States.
Our cobblers, juleps, smashes, cocktails
&C., have already gained world wide
reputation, as peculiarly American drinks.
In old time, when pure liquors could be
had and were generally sold at moderate
prices, our people sometimes lived to an
old age as strong tlpplers; but we cannot

THE WHITE NEGRo.-Once, and
only once, during my life, I have had
an opportunity Of examining infinitely
an entirely white negro. In the year
1912 there lived in the town of Sta
brock, the capital of Demerara, q man
OF this complexion. He was a robust
young fellow, by no means what they
called an Albino, as his eyes were just
OF the same color as those of his tribe.
He went by the name of Bochra Jem,
or White Jenny, and was tailor by
trade. ] found his skin in all respects
the same as my own, saving that where
the sun had given mine the appearance
OF mahogany, his was blotched with
broad freckles Of lighter tint. In
other respects, he was in reality ne>
gro from head TO foot He stood ap>
parently five feet nine inches in height,
with finely expanded chest, and a
back as straight as an arrow. But he
was deficient in the calves ofhis legs,
while you could not help remarking
the protrusion of his heels, so noted in
the negro. Both his father and his
mother were healthy, yet black ne>
groes. He appeared TO be about twen-
ty years old, and wasprobably the only
white negro ever seen in Demerara
Waterton's Essays.

A MOTHERS LovE.-The follows
ing is one of the most touching inci>
dents we have ever read
In metropolitan criminal court,
eight years ago, a poor boy had been
sentenced to a long term in the penis
tentiary, for some not well proved of,
fense, said Wont your Honor give
him a shorter term he was good boy
to me your honor, he always was. I've
just made him some fine clothes, your
Honor which fit him beautiful, land
she looked as she said this, as only a
mother can look at her boy.l And if
you give him long time to stay in
prison the clothes won't fit him when
he comes out, for he's a CROWN boy
Poor mother she had saved much tfor
herr from her scant earnings, TO clothe
her boy like the neighbors' children.
This was too much for her son. He
melted, he wept, he repented, he was
forgiven. And he is now one of the
most promising, enterprising and hons
orable young merchants in our city.
Every word Of this true, and known to
be 50 to very many persons.-N. X

Save THE SooT-This, though
generally thrown into the street and
wasted, is one of the best manures. It
IS extensively used in England, and
when only fifteen or twenty bushels
are applied TO the acre, it induces the
most luxuriant crops of wheat, and
other grains. It contains, in small
compass, almost all the ingredients of
the coal or wood used forfslel. It also
contains several salts of ammonia,
magnesia, lime and mnFiatic acid. Its
components are the natural food or
stimulants of plants, and it can be used
to great advantage as a concentrated
fertilizer, to- stimulate terminating
seeds in the drill. 1t is not only sown
broadcast with the grain, but it is ap>
Piled to the root crops with the best
result. Potatoes and carrots especially
are benefited by it. Six quarts ofsoot
to hogshead of water make an excel>
lent liquid manure for the garden. 1t
can be applied with safety to all gars
den crops, and will pay well for saving.
In putting the stoves, furnaces and
in erder for winter, bear it in
mind that SCOT is valuable, and will be
wanted for spring use. One, two,
three or more barrels can be saved
easily in most families, especially
where wood is burned.

ASSISTANCE FROM PROVIDENCE
A good old Connecticut deacon was
attachinga peor and feeble pair of oxen
to avery large and heavy load of wood.
A neighbor asked him how he expects
ed to get SO large a load to market with
so poor team. The good deacon re>
piled that he expected to have some
assistance from Divine Providence
His neighbor asked him whether it
would not be as well to dispense en-
tirely with the oxen, and let Divine
Providence draw the whole load.
