Can Sugar be Made?

Messrs. Belcler & Co., extensive sugar
%refiners at St. Louis, state-or it may be
only stated for them-that it is impossible
to grain the syrup of the Chinese sugar
cane. If it be true that they have made
this statement, or that it has been printed
by their authority, it will not be borne ou1
by experiments made in this vicinity.
Mr.. Lowering, of the we'll known firm Of

extensive, as they certainly are the mos
celebrated, sugar reiners in this country
has made from canes grown upon his owl
premises, in this ward, as we are informed
an excellent article Of sugar, dry and o
good color; and he estimates that the cane
will produce n thousand pounds per acre
AS a sugar production this will do very
we'll; while the experiment proves thai

sUna.appy Irelando no Longer.

One of the Dublin papers thus raises a
shout of grateful exultation over the pres
ent condition-of Ireland:
1--WE can hardly be grateful enough fr
the high pc sition our own Ireland holds.
Here no banks have stopped payment
nay, by wisely assisting trade, they are
paving unheard of dividends. No manu-
featuring establishments have failed, throw
ing out of employment numerous hauds.
The storm reached us, and passed over,
leaving us unscathed. Possibly, as W. are
deprived Of the profits resulting from gi-
gantic factories; 80 also are we free from
the fluctuations. Probably the terrible
lesson which our country learned at so fear
full a price in former yisitations wrought
their effect, and we are wiser and better
men. Thanks be to God, our harvests
were great. What trade we lave is steady
our people have abundant work; the ne
c~essaries Of life are cheap. We are inform
ed that thousands of our pea5antry who
left our famine-stricken land some years
ago, are threatening to return. Let them
come, they will be welcome. We shall
find work for all. Glad, only too glad
shall We be if in the Western land they
sought, and now fly from, they have learn

The SAFEST INvEsTMENT.-Iu the long
run, those men get TO be the richest, as all
experience proves, who invest most of their
surplus capital in good mortgages aud real
estate. 1t is astonishing how fast a for.
tune accumulates, even at six per cent, if
dividends and rents are invested quarter
lv, or even semi-annually. Investments il
real estate securities rarely or never bring
loss; and hence there is no drawback on
the ~compounding of interest. The fact is
notorious that of the Philadelphia families
which were rich a century ago, only those
remain rich who keep the bulk of theil
wealth in real estate. No business man
can aford-for any long periodic pay
ten per cent. for money; to demand such
high rates is. therefore, not sound policy IL
the capitalists; and the history of the rich
in any region, if traced back for a hundred
years, affords abundant proof of this. Ii
