The State Due9- Suspended Bank Notes
Preferable to those that pay Gold.

The following sketch Of the proceedings
of the Legislature, which occurred on the
Sth,will pay perusal, as the subject disposed
of will doubtless be frequently referred to
hereafIer:-
Some doubts having arisen, and with
great proprey, as to the power Of collec-
tors Of Missouri state revenue to receive in
payment for public dues the notes of the
Bank of the State, in view of the statute
law providing that it shallsbe so received,
$50 long as it shall redeem its issues upon
presentation" Jones, of Franklin, offered q
bill to authorize the receipt of the bills of
Bank Of the State for taxes. Brown, Of St.
Louis, in view Of the need of gold for State
indebtedness, offered TO amend, by allowing
the collectors 10 receive the bills "of the
Mechanics bank Of St. Louis, SO long as it
shall continue to be specie paying bank"
Some objection was raised to the second
reading Of the bill, and on motion to reject
the ayes and noes were called, resulting in
ayes so, noes 81; SO the amendment was re-
jeetel, the vote being as follows:
AYEs-Alexander BIanton, Bretz, Bur-
ton, Cherry, Cleyenger, CIymer, Cravens;

Daring the call of the roll, there was nc
end to explanations, not one of which is
worthy of record. Switzler moved to
amend, to include the notes of all chartered
banks OF the state Darnes who had got
into the chair about this time, made the
NEST peculiar decision that l ever heard in
my life, holding that the decision not to take
the Mechanics bank, decided that the
House would not allow the receipt of any
banl; except the State bank, he therefore
ruled the amendment out Of order. He
took it back, however, and stated that it
was to save time. Motion to reject was
then made by Jones of Lawrence, and the
motion went TO the House, and was lost by
ayes so, and noes "a. The bill was then
read a third time and passed.

one Of the last meetings Of the Acadonie DIES
Scioncies, at Paris. NJ Guorin Mineville pro-
ducod a number Of wheat stalks of more than
seven feet in height each of them bearing
splendid cars This fine species of wheat
was obtained from five grains that were found
in an Egyptian tomb, whore for thousands of
years they have been preserved from all OK
tcrna influence. Sown in 1919, they grow
up luxuriantly, and yieldoda 1900 fold pro-
duce, in consequence of which NJ Drouillard
made various comparative experiments i'm
Southern and Central France and in Brittany,
which experiments have been regularly con-
tinucd and their results officially confirmed.
One-half of field was sown with the f.
gyptan, the other with our common wheat,
and the produce of the former was so fold,
of the latter 10 fold, while commonly in
France a seven or eight fold produce is con-
sidcrcd a fair one. Sown in single grains,
the Egyptian wheat yielded q $50 fold har-
vest The experiments are now made in ale

The NEw SUGAR CANE.--Among all the
experiments with the Chinese Sorghum, very
few instances have occurred where the granu-
lation of the syrup has been secured; but the
following, from the Cincinnati Gazette, shows
that it is practicable to obtain this result;
"Mr Hodges, Of our city, has shown us
samples of sugar made from the 'Sorgo,
which in flavor and appearance is equal to
the Brazil sugar. This is the first reliable
and satisfactory evidence of the success of
the Chinese cane as sugar crop. This was
made by Mr.. Leonard Wray, of England who
has devoted many years to the sugar business
in various parts of the lndias, as well as
France, Algeria, and South Africa and to
his efforts are we indebted for the process
for graduating this new species of cane syrup.
Mr.. Wray has just arrived in this country, at
the solicitation Of some influential men of the
South, who were aware of his great skill and
success in the manufacturing. He brings
with him the seed of several species of the
Imphees, found by him in Cafiraria, which
he says is more precocious and better suited
to our Northern ATTITUDES than the Chinese
variety, although he speaks in high terms Of
the latter. Mr.. IL. has also sample Of al.
eohol, made from the formented juice Of tn,
cane, of a most superior quality. He has
also some Of the simple juice. ondsiderabl,
