Doors AND SHoEs-The q. S. Econo-
mist has collected some interesting Stats
tics on the manufacture of boots and shoes
in this country. The quantity required fol
the consumption of the United States is
net far from 75,0oo,OOo pairs per annam.
Of these, 10000 00) pairs are made in
Massachusetts,, at a value of s4O,o0o,000
per annun, and they employ $4,000 men
and 1896 women. One-s alf of this en-
ployrnenl is in Lynn, which is the largest
shoe-shop the Unilel States. The mex.
is Philadelphia, which makes 100000,
mostly fine work. while that of Lynn is
coarse work. The production is great in
every city, town and hamlet in the Union,
and the whole value is not less than $780,
100000 per annum. In Philadelphia
TIL ere are 475 manufacturers, whose aggre-
gate sales amount to 81, al, 900, and
Philadelphia sells probably sl0,o0o,o0o
worth of Eastern work in addition.
The Economist mentions as remarka-
bic circumstance in this connection, that
no, withstanding the In mense extent of the
boot and shoe manufacture, and the army
of persons engaged in it, neither boot MOI
shoe makers figure in the last census, tho
shoe finders and shoe-makers do.

AN INcoRRUPTIBLE WITNEss.-Itl Is the
popular belief that every man has bis prlce,
and no one is so poor but that inducements
can be offered that would swerve them from
their integrity, and cause them to barter
their honor either for gold or fame, and in
deed, so frequently are such eases brought
to light that those who would fam retain
some degree of faith in the human species,
are almost led to the belief that none are
incorrup'ible. but that all can be bought
for price. 1t affords us pleasure, there
fore, to chronicle the fact, that poor rag
picker-one of the lowest callings in the
world-withstood the tempting offer of
So. 900 to absent himself from the city du-
ring the trial of Cancemi, which was pro-
crossing few weeks since in New York,
to avoid giving testimony in the case
This fact was elected upon the trial, and
shows conclusiyely that there is a principle
of honor in the human breast, that with
some is higher than worldly honor. This
poor rag-picker is deserving of better
condition of life, for, however poor he may
be. he is one of natures noblemen."

Imphee or African Sugar Cane.

To Eds. Emefys Journal & Prairie Farmer:
l observe in your recent numbers, ma
my reports of the success Of the Chinese
sugar cane, but nothing of its rival, the
| Imphee.
am by no means disposed to deiract
from the value Of the Sorghum sacchara-
|tum, for last year we raised and n,anufac-
tured it with decided success. From a.
bout once quarter Of an acre, we manufac-
tured about ninety four gallons Of syrup,
superior to the common molasses of our
markets, and it kept through the season
quite well.
| tried some experiments in sugar ma
king but with only partial success. OBJ
tanned by filtration Of the juice. beauti-
Iful clear syrup, and from the bottom o:
the bottle, in which it remainad for some
months, small quantity Of sugar was OBJ
talled. tried to make sugar by the
same process that is required for the man
|ufacture Of maple, but with no marked
success.
Al the Grundy county Fair, sthe first
premium on syrup was awarded for a spec
linen which I exhibited, and, intent on
finding the genuine sugar plant, | invest
led the amount of the premium in Imphee
seed, pa wing about the same amount in
addition for transportation.
The season was so wet that in our level
grounds it was impracticable to plant til
past the middle of June. Even then, the
only available piece of ground was small
patch of sod measuring about twenty
rods.
On this I planted two varieties Of the
Imphee, which matured their seed before
the frost in the early part of this month";
From 9th these varieties | have obtained
syrup of a quality every, way superior to
that from the Chinese sugar cane; and
from both have obtained good sugar with
oat filtering the syrup or adding anything
to clarity except small quantity of lime.
In fact, took no more care or trouble than
in the manufacture of maple sugar.
From these. experiments, | am satisfied
that if the earlier varieties Of the African
sugar cane can be introduced into this
State in few years, we may largely ex-
ort sugar instead Of importing as at pres
ent.
The syrup have manufactured from
the Imphee is fully equal to the best gold
en- syrup of our sugar refneries, and has
some of the bitter taste complained off III
the Sorghum.
/ am trying some further experiments
in reference to the preparation of sugar
and syrup from the Imphee, which | vii

Bayard.Taylor q Printer.

| The editor of the Plymouth (lll.) Loco
motive, who was printer in the same Of
fee where Bayard aylors'served his time,
tells some interesting "reminiscences of the
great traveller:
We had the honor to succeed him 10 our
term of "devilship' in the Village Record
Office, Westchester, Chester county, Pa.
We we'll remember the time when he star
ted on his first ''tramp," with his small
satchel containing change or two of lin
en-, aud with fifty cents in capital. The
apprentices in those days had to carry the
papers through the country or horseback,
and our route was just past his fathers
house. We do not know of single time
through rain or shine. that old NJ. Tay-
lor did not meet us at the end Of the lane
with happy smile, wishing US good day,
and as we would hand him the Weekly
Record, he would remark, "a fair exchange
is no robbery filling one side of our sad
die bags with nice apples and grapes. He
was member of the Society of Friends.
With his little farm and family around
him he was a happy man indeed. He
used to inquire anxiously after Bayard,and
said. "he used to ramble around too much !;
he was not steady enough" Little he
knew then that his son Bayard, the print
er's apprentice, would be one day quoted
as the greatest travelling historian that A.
merica could boa st of.

THE EFrEcrs OF ToBAcco.-The Dub
lin Medical Press asserts that the pupils
Of the Polytechacal school in Paris, have
recently furnished some curious statlst les
bearing on tobacco. Dividing the young
men of that college into two groups the
smokers and the -smokers-it shows
that the smokers have proved themselves,
in various competitive examinations, far
inferior to the others. Not only ia the ex-
animation on entering Che school are the
smokers in lower rank, but in the vari-
Gus erdeals that they have to pass through
10 year, the average rankof the smokers
had constantly fallen off,and not inconsid-
erably, while the man who did not smoke
elioyed a ce raj atm sphere of the clear

VAccINATIoN OF IsFANrs.-Mr. Kuhn;
says the Bordeaux Journal Of Medicine;
founl that vaccination performed on in
fants the second, third and fourth day after
y previous vaccination, always succeeded.
when performed on the fifth day, it took in
one half the cases. If attempted on the
seventh, eighth, ninth OF tenth day, itfail-
ed. Hence, according to these experiments
vaccine. does not begin to be productive
until after four days from the incubation;
and as variola has an incubation of three
for four days, it may happen that person
exposed to il on the fourth day after yac-
|cinatfon, may be seized with smallpox at
the moment when vaccine vesicle Is at the
highest point of development. It is not
until the ninth day after vaccination, there
fore. that one can be considered secure from
the smallpox. 500

The Conjeprezites-A New Religious Sect
in Iowa.
From the Iowa State Democrat.


Some sixty or seventy miles north Of
Council Bluffs, in the county of Monona
about fifteen miles from the Missouri river
there is a town containing six or eight hun.
dred inhabitants, generally known as Prep.
aration.
This town is town is the Zion of a new
body of religious euthusiastics who call
themselves " Conjeprezites," and their sys-
tenn of religion or religious organization
''the Conjeprezon," the meaning of which
term remains to the Gentle world a pro-
found mystery.
AT the head of the organization is man
by the name ofCharles B. Thompson, who
is besides the editor of weekly newspa-
per called the Newspaper. This paper is
large, we'll printed, and upon political and
general subjects is edited with much ablli-
ty. s
Of this sheet one or two pages are usl,
ally devoted to the publication of what are
called "open letters" upon religious sub
jects, addressed by Charles B. Thompson
as follows: m
The Chief apostolic Pastor and
Evangelic Bishop: To all the Elders Of
Israel Evangelical and Travelling Presby-
tiers, of the Ecclesiastical Kingdom, and to
the Bishops, Presbyters, Deacons and Mem
bers of the Conjeprezon, scattered abroad
throughout all the world, sendeth greet
ing"
These letters are all dated at the flower
of the flock" and are most curious speci-
mems of iucomprehensible cant; being
made up of passages from the Bible, ex-
tracts from 'the Book Of the Law and Gov
enant of Israel" and remarks by the ''Chiet
Apostolical Pa: tori indiscriminately mix.
ell mp together.
From what we are able to learn from
these letters, this curious sect believes in
the Bible as the word of God; but also
holds that it is in a measure done away
with by the new revelations made since
the year l848 by the "yoice" of "Baneet
my" through the medium of the g Chic
Apostolical Bishop" These new reveal
lions are styled i" the Law and Covenant,
IF Istael.'
Improperly of the organization is hello
in common, and the earnings of all are
thrown into the common stock, somewha
after the manner of the g Shakers" The
peopie are said to be quiet and orderly il
their department, moral in their customs
and most devotedly and blindly attached
to their religion or system of belief.
However strange it may appear, TIN
Organization has during the last year rap
idly increased from fifty to eight hundred
members, and is still re, ewing large acces
sions to its numbers.

LOLA MONTE ON THE ..Rlo1DLr R1enr-

LOLA MONTEZ ON THE "RIGIDLY RIGnT-
EoUs.-Lola Montez addressed large
and enthusiastic audience of ladies' and
gentleman in Hope Chapel, New York,
on the evening of the 18th inst, on Rome,
The proceeds Of the lecture were to be
appropriated to assist in the re-erection of
the Church of the Good Shepherd, which
was destroyed by the tornado last Sum
mer. Persons refused to patronize the
lecture, thinking Lola an unfit person to
perform the important part assigned her.
She does not sustain the best reputation,
and we sometimes think people might a
bout as wel-shake hands with the Devil
in one thing as another, but Lola seems to
think differently, AMI we give her conclu-
ding remarks:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN The adver-
tisements have informed you that the pro-
ceeds of this lecture are to be given to
Rev. Ralph Hoyt, to aid him in re build
ing his free church for the poor. The pa
pers have also apprised you that some of
the clergy have cast reflections on the
worthy rector, for his willingness to re-
ceive the sum which your patronage Of this
lecture yields, which certainly is piece
of bigotry, intolerance, cruelty to the poor,
and meddlesome impertinance, which
have never before witnessed, even in the
most Liberal Catholic countries of the old
world. Applause Who are those men
that would bar you and me from doing a
good act, and would rather lock the doors
of comfort and instruction on the poor,
than that they should be blessed by a
hand that will not be moved by their die
tation. Loud Applause. How many
churches will be built, and how many poor
will be fed, by money VIII oh they will
give. Applause. A voice: Not one in
a thousand. 1t is reserved for me to read
these bigots lesson, and tell them that
they are not Christians, but Pharisees.-|
They belong to the same class of hypo-
critics who condemned our Savior because
he ate and drank with publicans and sin
ners, applause, and they appear to be
just as full of the headstrong devil of in
tolerance as they were in the old time
They are certainly very impudent and
bold devils when they enter into the breast
of protesting Christians in such a free and
enlightened land as America. Such big
oted intolerance would be bad enough IN
Timbucto or the Fegee Islands, but in A
merica it is like foul spot upon the bright
sun. Applause. / am going to Europe
| in few days, and when [ return. which
I certainly shall do, applause, ]may be |
will give a course OF lectures, to raise a
fund to send missionaries to christian!ze
the clerical Phalisees, lond laug liter and
applause, who had rather the poor and
disconsolate should not have the Gospel
preached to them, than that the means
should be furnished by the patrona re of
your humble servant. | en,reas the pray
srs ofths congregation for all such benight-
ed and miserable sinners. Applause.

Great Revival in Sweden.

The Rev. DR.. Sternes, of Newark, n.
j., who is now III Sweden, says in a feeent
letter: 1914
| am assured that there is not 4 parish
in Sweden where the religious awakening
is not taking place, and persons of every
grade ard position in life are coming un-
der its influence. Instances of sudden con-
versions-sudaen and remarkable as some
of those in the New Testameut-have
been related to me, and attended with clf-
cumstanees of which we have no expert
ence in our country.

OPENING FOR AMERICAN ENTERPRIsE IN
CHINA.-Under the new treaty with Chi
ma, Americans have a wide field opened to
them. Eleven new ports are opened to
their ships-they had five before, making
in all l6. They can take the coastng trade
away from the numbering junks that now
monopolize it. They can 90 so miles up
the great river Yangtsze- Kiang, the Mis-
Islssippi Of China, and turn it into a sort OF
Chinese Hudson, with schooners, steam
boats, and barges.
They are to pay one fifth less tonnage
duty, and only 5 per cent. export duty on
tea; and from the duties they thus pay IN,
the Mandarlns are to pay again indemnity
for losses suffered by American merchants
and residents at Canton.

The PRESENT COMPANY ExcEpTED.-

HE PRESENT COMPANY EXCEPTED.-
At public dinner in the country, a farm
er while relating something to the compa-
nv about two Chinese women, said: 81
declare they were the ugliest women have
seen anywhere" There happening to be
two maiden ladies present of no remarka-
Die beauty, the farmer, who was a little
misty, began to think he had made mess
of it, and that they would imagine he was
alluding to them; so, to put matters
ST aight, (as he thnaght,) he added, " the
present company excepted" Roars OF
laughter ensued. and in few minutes both
farmer and ladies had vanished.-Eccen

LEGAL TENDNR-The law regulating
the payment of debts with coin provides
that the following coin be legal tens
der:
l. All gold coin at their respective
values for debts of any amount.
2. The half dollar, quarter dollar, half
dime and quarter dime,at their respective
values for debts of any amount under five
dollars.
8. Three cent pieces for deb.s Of any a
mount under thirty cents; and
4. By tile law passed at the last Sc ssion
Of Congress, we may add, one cent pieces
for any amount under ten cents.
By law of Congress, passed some four
or FIVE years ago, gold was made the legal
tender for large amounts. Those who, to
get rid of large quantities OF cents and
small coin, sometimes pay their bills with
it to the annoyance ofthe creditor, will per-
ceive that there is stoppage to that antit

ETHAN ALIENS LAST GREAT VICTORY.
"A special dispatch to the N. Y. Heratd,
rives some particulars of the brilliant vic
tory of the famous tre.tng stallion, Ethan
Allen. over the favorite New Jersey horse,
George ii. Patchen. The contest took
lace over tie Unio. Course, on Long Is

thousand people. The match was for 81.
O0o, in wagons, and repeat, the driver and
wagon weighing 300 lbs. Ethan Allen
was driven bv Dan Mace, AM the Patchen
horse BY ,Johr Buckley. Pstchen won the
pole. After they got off, Ethan made a
break when four lengths from the score,
Patehen broke soon afterwards, and Ethan
trotted around him, taking the pole on the
first turn and opsning a tre-
mendous gap. Patchen broke badly on
the back stretch and Ethan passed the
mile pole in 1913 distance ahead. On
the third quarter, Ethan trot'ed very easy
and Patchen began to settle down 10 his
work to save his distance. Ethan, howev-
err came down the home stretch at spin
ming gate, and distanced Patchen in the
first heat, making the extraordinary time
of tDo minutes and tUeatyetght seconds !
This is the best time ever made in An er-
lea by trotting stallion. A good deal Of
money changed hands.
The same day there was trot between
Hiram Drew and Toronto Chief, for purse
of $500, two miles and repeat. The first
heat was won by Hiram Drew In 5:2l
The second by Toronto Chief in SO the
third was a dead heat, time 5 rs, and the
final heat and race was won by Toronto
