"UNHAPPY IRELAND NO LoNGER.-One of
the Dublin papers thus raises shout of
grateful exultation over the present condition
of Ireland
"We can hardly be grateful enough for the
high position our own Ireland holds. Here
no banks have stopped payment-nay, by
wisely assisting trade, they are paying I'M
heard of dividends. No manufacturing es-
adjustments have failed, throwing out of
employment numerous hands. The storm
reached us and passed over, leaving us un-
scatched. Possibly as we are deprived of the
profits resulting from gigantic factories, SO,
also. are we free from their fluctuations.
Probably the terrible lessons which our coun-
try learned at so feartnl price in former
visitations, wrought their effect. and we are
wiser and better men. Thanks be to God,
our haryests were great. What trade we have
is steady; our people have abundant work
the necessares of life are cheap. We are
informed that thousands of our peasantry who
left our famine stricken land years ago, are
threatening to return. Let them come they
will be welcomed. 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 learned industry and pru-
dence'

The GLUCOSE OF THE SORGHUM CHANGING
TO CANE SuGAR.-Dr. Augustus A. Hayes of
Boston, assayer to the State of Massachusetts,
who has made occasional contributions to our
columns, has come prominently before the
public during the present year, because of his
opinion that the sugar of the Chinese cane
would in no case granulate and yield pure
cane sugar. Subsequently, however, he has
made further examination of his samples of
syrups, and. to his great surprise, found that
large masses of actual cane sugar crystals had
formed in them. The samples of glucose
which Dr. Hayes had in his possession turn
ed into crystalline sugar by simply standing
certain length of time. Efforts hsve been
heretofore made by chemists, but without sue
cess. to obtain crystal sugar from glucose !;
hence it was concluded that such a conversion
of it was impossible. The chemical change
referred to, DR.. Hayes announces to be some
thing entirely new, and that it will largely
enhance the value of the sorgho.- Scientific

The SAGE AFFAIR AT CRoMwELL.-The
New Haven Palladium has some additional
information concerning this singular case, de-
rived from the best authority. The cores
pondenee between young Sage and his uncle
and cousin contains conclusive evidence of
the fact, that the father did not know that
his son was living until informed of it by Mr..
Williams. Mr.. Sage had spent nearly or quite
$500 in search of the dead body, and was in
tending to make contract with diver from
Saybrook, paying him 800 per day to exam
inc the river in search of the body. He was,
however, prevented by the advice of his
friends. I'VE don't understand this, as the
body found at Lyme was supposed TO be that
of young Sage, and buried by his friends as
such Mr. Sage had not agreed to give NJ
gent 5000, but intended to remunerate him,
The remarkabls accuracy of Benson's testi-
mony is also explained satisfactorily. 1t will
be remembered that he described the boots
that Sage wore with astonishing accuracy, as
well as the color of his hair, and the hay NOW,
and that it was proved that he was seen in the
neighborhood on the day ofthe supposed muir
der. 1t appears that Benson did pass hhrough
Cromwell on that day. and it is probable that
he spent the night in that barn. He was seen
that afternoon in that neghborhood Early
the next morning he was seen about thirty
rods North of the barn.
He says that when he came to Cromwell he
heard two boys talking together about the
murdered boy Sage, and that one of them de-
scribed his boots SO infinitely that he remem-
bered it distinctly. He also heard some per-
sons speaking of Sages hair, and in both cases
he was not noticed, or thought to be listen
ing. 1t is perfectly evident that Benson has
a remarkably retentive memory-what our in
formant terms a technical memory. He now
declares that his whole story was false. and
that none of the Sage family ever held out
any inducements whatever to him to testify
falsely, or to say what he did about Nugent.
He says that he invented the whole story with
the hope of reward.

The MORAL INFLUENCE OF THE PREss.-
Yesterday, Mr.. Timothy Ross was brought
before Justice Cole, upon the charge of beat
ing hia wife. The wife testified to the fact,
and likewise spoke of several previous assaults.
Mr.. Ross was held to bail. He gave bail with
seeming cheerfulness. He then asked zone
favor of the Squire" Mr.. r. said it was "to
keep his name out of the papers, The JUS
tice said he would not undertake the hercu-
lean task of controlling the press, and in
quired OF Mr., r. his great anxiety upon the
subject. Mr.. Ross replied: "Well, to tell
you the truth, Squire. don't care the snap
of finger for the law and all your officers,
but l am a little afraid of them editors that
put fellers name in the papers and, if it
wasn't for them, I'd lick my wife regularly
every day." Saying this. Mr.. r. suddenly
left court muttering something to himself
about "wringing somebody's neck" Where
fore, we concluded the Press is mo.e powerful
than the law, and desire to give to Mr.. Ross
little Of its influence. -Albany Times.

LEGAL.-Judge Peters was ona of the iudg-
es Of the Superior Court of the State of Con-
necticut, and was not considered the best au
thority in points of law. Mr.. H, well
known practitioner, who has nervous
twitching Of the muscles of his face, was
pleading before him in an important cause,
and the judge, apparently not needing the
lawyer. was playing with a little dog which
had come up BY his side ON the platform. In
the course of his remarks the lawyer stated
the law applying to one of the important
points of his case; the judge stopped playing
with the dog. and, lifting up his head, said !:
"Why, Mr. H, 1 didn't know there
was any such law"
10 which Mr.. H, while looking partic-
ularly serious, and his face beginning to
twitch, Immediately replied. 81 didn't sup
pose your Honor did,"
The whole audience was convulsed with
suppressed laughter, considering it a palpa-
Bile hit.

New CHIMNEY.-They have new chimney
in France, invented for the consumption Of
wood, instead of coal, by the Parisians. 1t
consists of mere pipe, into which the logs of
wood are thrown, and beneath which the fire
is lighted. This contryance produces so much
heat that the apartment is thoroughly warm
ed during the day, and at night the logs, COM
pletely charred, but not consumed, are with
drawn,in the state of charcoal, and will sell
for double the price of the wood in its natural
state. This chimney is the invention of
Monsieur Renaud. and much is expected
from it on the score of economy The same
idea is being applied to steam, using coal,
which turns to coke, as it works without
smoke or ashes ofany kind, by means of re.
volvlng cylinder beneath the furnace.

"Where Hale and Fessenden and Chase stood

tempts to sustain himself by the same arguments
they used then. But the attempt is a vain one.
History, facts, and the argument is with those
who sustain the Lecompton convention and thus
the party and the President is safely entrenched,
and cannot be dislodged by the artful attack of
Judge Douglas and his black republican allies"
