THE Blue SToCKING.-This term rs applied
to a lady OF some literary taste. Mills in his
History of Chiyalry," traces it to the Society
de la Cola. formed at Venice in 400 The
members. at their meetings. were distinguish
ed by the colors Of their stockings, which at
times were fantasticaliy blended and some
times one color, particularly dtue, prevailed.
Dc la Cola lasted until 1890, when Italian
literature took some other symbol. Then the
rejected title crossed the Alps, finding a con-
genial soil in Partisan society, and particu-
larly branded female pedantry. Next it di-
inverted from France to England, marking for
a while the vanity Of small scholarship in te-
male coteres The blue stocking Of the last
century, however, IS Of English growth. Bos-
we'll in his Life of Johnson" O78l, records
the origin of the Blue-Stocking Clubs; Zone
of the most eminent member of these societies,
when they first commenced, was Mr.. Stilling-
fleet, Cgrandson of the Bishop,) whose dress
was remarkably grave and IL particular 1t
was observed that he wore blue stockings
Such was the excellence of his conversation,
that his absence was felt so great a loss that it
nsed to be said, We can do nothing without
the blue stoeS'ag; and :hg2, by degrees, the
title was established"
Miss Hannah More has admira bly, described
a Blue stocking Club in her "Bas Blue" The
last Of this club was the lively Miss Aoncton
afterwards Countess of Cork who used 10
have the finest bit of blue at the house Of heI
mother, Lady Galway. In the early Greek
comedy Of the Banquet of Plutarch," " there is
a specimen of Blue-stocking or " BaS-Blue "

After all, it scenes that the Sorgo or Chimes
sugar cane is to he valuable article in the pro,
duction Of sugar. We learn from the Scie1tif
&c A,ne,fcan, that Mr.. Joseph Lowering OF
Oakhill, Pa, very scientific and practical sugar
refiner, has succeeded in producing fine article
of loaf and white sugar, as well as brown. He
had planted halfan acre for she purpose ofexper-
imenting. Before proceeding to refine the JUS
tice, he examined it with the polariscope, and
found that it contained 81 per cent. ofsugar..
He then proceeded with his experiments and
produce very fine articles of different kinds Of
sugar, from the finest loaf to ordinary brown
equal oany produced from the canen the South.
Let Sorgho rasers take courage! Those who
had despaired Of its capability to make sugar,
have almost yielded their objections--and we
amongst the rest. All that is now wanting is a
proper Knowledge Of the right process to pro.
duce sugar. This is being sought by scientific
men, and they will surely find it, for there is
scarcely anything impossible to our Yankee ma
ton, this side ofa power giving perpetual mo.
ton. By another year the process Of making
the best Of sugar from the Sorgho or Chinese
sugar cane will be pretty generally understood
by scientific men. and the knowledge be gen
orally dHfused. when men can make good
honey out Of three well known substances, it is
certainly possible to make sugar out Of Sorgho
Syrup.--SUn.

CADIZ OHIO. "WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY IL, 1858.
A Oucer IdcH.

The Zanesviile Times pitches into the State
Agricultural Board in this wise:
That august body, the State Board OF AgTi'
culture, held a meeting in Columbus on Tues
day last. to decide upon a location for the State
fair Of 1853, and other matters, incident to it.
That they are q very wise, a. well as august
BODY of men, is well established by the fact that
they have made locati n at Sandusky for the
said Fair-Sandusky, Erie county. Most ofour
readers have probably heard Of this place as be-
ing prolific Of limestone, and something Of q
fish market. For correct idea of its locality
we reier the reader to a map Of Ohio and its ear
'ly history and present peculiarities, to Mr.
Cook the clever editor Of the Register. For
the information Of those who do not care to
take the trouble to examine the map or make
inquiry, we would however say that Sandusky
is bounded on the north by the bay, and on all
other sides by the black swamp--in early tunes
it was distinguished as being :he trail OF wild
hogs, the only subsistence OF the pioneer set
tiers. and these were once captured and the pop
ulation rescued from starvation, IS curious
piece Of history, which is elaborated and pre-.
served in the aforesaid Sandusky Register.
The majority in the Board oil Agriculture are
evidently somewhat OF romantic turn OF mind,
and we are not sure that we ought not here pub
llcly acknowledge our liiallhiuluesa etl"t 'hSlA
| fancy did not carry them to kellv's Island or
the Falls of Niagara. slhduSky is built on q
stone pile, and outside Of this for the space OF
some sixteen or eighteen miles is barren prai-
rie-,a gloomy, unnhabited ague stricken re-
gion, where scarcely anything having hie in it
is mean enough to stay. Away otFin that re-
gion fthe termination Of the underground rail
road, and sort of jumping off place, is the 10
cation for the exhibition Of this year OF the pro-
ductons, the ingenuity, the arts, &c, OF this
great State of Ohio. We trust the Board oi
Agriculture will put up suitable guide posts to
direct people on their way through the swamps
to the fair, and advertise to our British bre'h-
rcn in Canada that they are expected to be there.
What the exhibition mill lack in tall corn ana
mammoth pumpkins, will be made NC no doubt
in big and little fishes, and some tall specimens
of tadpoles, genus having close affinity with
some Of the members Of the Board.

this Board, who will continue to keep along
shore with their exhibitions, and may another
year conclude to stop at Toledo or Bellaire.

A astonishing Performance Of au A
nericnM before Queen ViciOrin.

On the 18th OF January, at Windsor, Mr.. j.
S. Rarey, from the United States OF America
had the honor ofeIhibiting before Her Majesty,
the Prince consort and the Royal Family and
suite, in the riding house, his miraculous power
over the horse. Several animals were selected
as subjects Of his experiments. lie commenced
with colt Is months old, belonging 10 the
Prince Copsort, which was brought from Shaw
Farm, and which had never been handled ex-
cept by halter, and had been chosen by Colonel
Honorable A. n. Wood, for the occasion. Alter
being alone with the animal for about an hour
and a half the royal party entered, and found
Mr.. Rarey sitting on its back, without holding
the rem, the horse standing perfectly quiet. Mr..
Rarey then made q few remarks in regard to his
great experience in the treatment Of this noble
animal; a drum was afterwards handed to Mr..
Rarey, which he beat with fury whilst sitting
on the horses back, without the colt exhibiting
any signs of fear The royal party afterwards
withdrew for few minutes, and on their return
I found the animal lying down, and Mr. Rarey
! knocking his hind legs together, one OF which
he put against his face.
Afterwards restive horse, selected from Mr.
Anderson's stables, in London, which Mr.. Ra-
rey said he had before handled, was placed at
| one end of the Riding house alone. Mr.. Rarey
| went TO the OlneT eHfi, anu az HIS C"lhiIahu tHe
horse walked quietly up to him. He then made
the horse lie down in the presence ofthe Queen,
when Mr. Rarey crawled between his hind legs
and over him IN various ways. Mr., narey then
rolled the horse on his Lack. The horse was
afterwards placed in various positions in which
+ it stood without holding, and without bridle
A third horse selected by Mr.. Meyers,th the riding
master, as a very nervous animal, was then
brought in, and in a few minutes afterwards il
was made by Mr.. Rarey to do all which had
been done by the other horses. At the conclu
sion of this exhibition of Mr.. Rarey's wonder
fnl power over the horse, his Royal HighneS'
the Prince Consort expressed to Mr.. Rarey hi
qualification and thanks. The secret has beer
entrusted to Major General Richard Airy, il
confidence, who has pronounced that there i
nothing in the treatment but what any horse
man would approve o..
