The London Times is more moderate
in it's comment than the News. While
denying that the Federal Government, on
its position has right to overhaul neutral
ships, it admits that England herself has
established precedents, which now tell
against her in this matter Of the Trent !;
but these presidents were made under
circumstances very different, It asserts,
from those which now occur.
England was then fighting for existence,
and did in those days what she wouldn't
do now, nor allow others to do. In dis
cussing the question whether Mason and
Slidell were liable to capture as bclligeren.s
or contrabands on board the Trent, the
Times states as the opinion of very eminent
jurists that this was not the question to be
adjudioated by the boats crew; the legal
course would have been to bring the ship
itself into port for adjudication, 1t con-
cludes with the expression that English
men will discuss the question with calm
ness, and appeals to the Federal States
not to provoke war by such acts.

Sorghum in Ohio.---An Immense
From the Cleveland Herald, 9th. ]

rom
The subject Of sorghum sugar and mo-
lasses has engaged the attention OF the
Cincinnati Horticultural Society. Mr.
Mansfield, of Lexington, Ohio, sent the
Society several samples Of syrup and su-
gar, which were, on examination, highly
recommended by the committee. They
arrived at the conclusion "that the proper
cultivation of the sorghum and manufac-
ture of its product may, in case of neces-
sity, furnish complete substitute for New
Orleans sugar. Mr.. Mansfield firmly be-
lieves, let the issle Of the war be as 1t
may, cur traffic in Southern sugar is at an
end" At the meeting of the Society,
Nov. 9th, Mr.. Gill, of Columbus, stated
that there were about 100000 gallons
of sorghum molasses made in Ohio last
year, and that there we're FIVE acres plant
ed this year to one last. Owing to the
character of the season, the sorghum cane
this year is inferior to that Of last year,
The average price per gallon last year was
As cents, this year So cents. The sugar
and molasses of this years crop are supe-
rior. The average of molasses made to
the acre last year was about 200 gallons !;
this year about 100. The highest he had
known was $50 gallons. Good rich up
land is the best, Mr. G. said, for sorghum;
or sandy soil. the richer the better
Black soil is not good; it produces large
cane but little molasses.

AN ECCENTRIC TRAVELLER - We have
heard of an Englishman who went abroad,
with the design of taking an extensive tour,
on the continent, but who was diverted from
his purpose by finding himself so comforta-
BILE on board certain canal boat in Belgium
that he went no further, preferring to be a
daily passenger in the boat, which went and
returned between certain limits on alternate
days. There is more than one version of
this story, which we believe TO be founded on
fact. 1t seems to be agreed that the gentle
man started on this Intended tour in 1915,
the year of the battle of Waterloo; that he
landed at Ostend with the design Of pushing
on to Brussels, and that the canal boat which
arrested his progress was one that piled be-
tween Bruges and Ghent, starting one day
at Client and the other at Bruges.
According to one account which we have
heard, the individual in question went abroad
not merely to see foreign lands, but in the
hope of meeting with illustrious personages
and distinguished characters, which will ac-
count for his making for Brussels in 1875
Finding, however, that on board the boat he
not only fell in with many persons worth
meeting, but had the opportunity Of sitting
down with them to the table dhOte, he thought
he could do no better, and went backward
and forward, never getting further than
Ghent.

THE EFFECT OF THE BLoCKADE.--If the
military movements around Washington
alarm the insurgents, the naval blockade
gives them great deal more present incon-
veDience. The shutting up of the ports of
the seeded States has already produced a
scarcity in several necessaries of life and of
war. Salt has become scarce, and the Sa-
vannah journals say that they will be unable
next winter to cure beef and pork. The
manufacture of salt from sea-water is sc-
cordingly recommended to furnish the sup
ply required. Hay, which is imported from
the North, is entirely cut of, and the papers
recommend that wheat, rye, and oat straw
shouldbe saved, and sprinkled with salt as it
is packed away. The support of an army
viii require cattle to eat, horses for trans
portation, and proyender for those horses ;
all these will have to be of home production
should the war continue, and the Govern
ment enforce the blockade of the seeding
ports. Powder is also scarce article.
There are Southern manufacturers trying to
extract the sulphur from the sulphurous
pyrites Of North Carolina, but the process Is
a very tedious and expensive one, and
greatly adds to the cost of the powder
These Inconvenience are just beginning
To people 30 dependent as the South, not
withstAnding its agricultural resources, their
troubles must increase with every days

BEAUTY AND BRDs.--Nlle. Vandermeersch
is the lady with the wonderful birds She
never exhibits in public, but at the house
Of the sculptor Thorneycraft, in London,
not long since, she entertained an artistic
and literary circle. The marvel about the
lady and her birds is that there is an intel
lectual sympathy between them. They in
terchange thought. The little birds answer
questions put to them by the company, not,
of course, by vocal bursts and sweet dis
tinguishable notes, but by picking out the
right combinations of letters, numerals,
phrases, and words from pack of cards
One instance we will mention in which a
superior mode of calculation seemed 10
triumph over mere mechanical process.
One of the birds had TO tell the time from a
watch which pointed to one minute past.
A little pause occurred in the search for a
card, and, when the figure three was turned
up instead of one, it was perceived that the
time by the watch was three minutes past
nine. In that lapse Of two minutes, halt
anticipating the result, we narrowly watched
for some communication between the bird
and his mistress, and are quite sure that
there was none so that really the conclu-
sion was forced upon us that the bird took
into account the loss of time in finding the
| card. ...
