not at all calculated to confirm the sus-
picion that the cane will depreciatc in
our climate.
The important objects attained by
Cooks pan, over any other that | have
seen used, consists, |, in the intensely
rapid evaporation secured by it 2, tie
faclli y afforded by its arrang ement for
the removal of the scum; 3, the thor
ough DELEGATION effected without the use
of chemical agents and 4, the ease
with which the sirup, the instant it is
ready, is removed, yet leaving the pan
always occupied.
Now, if the above general statements

ceptibe of profit follows that the
agricultural interests of the States where

In common with these, the interests of

the early introduction of its culture
The superior quality of the strip and
sugar; the peculiar necessities of our
present political condition our natural
love Of independence combined with
the consideration Of the very limited
amount of capital necessary to establish
the manufacture, it seems to me should

Excellent EEhitexyash.

AS the house cleaning time will soon
be here, 1T may not be amiss to say a
few words in regard to whi.e washing.
There are many receipts publish, but we
believe the following to be the best
that can be used White chalk Is the
best substitute for lime as whitewash
a very fine and brilliant whic-washed
preparation Of chalk is called "Par,s
N1'fe." This we buy at the paint
stores tor three cents pound, retail. -
For each sixteen pounds of Paris White
we procure half pound of the white
transparent glue, costing twenty-five
Gems (hf y cents pound.) The sixteen
pounds of Paris While is about as much
as Il person will use in day. 1t is
prepared as follows The glue is
covered with cold wafer at night and in
morning is carefully heated, without
scorchlng, until dissolved. The Paris
White is stirred in with hot wa.er
enough to give it the proper milky con-
sls'ency for applying to the walls, and
the dissolved glue is then added and
thoroughly mixed. 1t is then applied
with Il brush like the common lime
whitewash. Except on very dark and
smoky walls and ceilings, a single coat
is sufficient. 1t is nearly equal in bril-.
llancy to "zinc white" far moro ex-
pensiye article.

REMEDY FOR SMALL Pox.-The German
RGtormcd Messenger has received letter
from friend in China, which SAYS a great
discovery is reported to have been recently
made by surgeon Of the English army in
china, IN the way Of an ctlectual cure for
small pox. Tho mode of treatment is as
follows:
, " W hen the preceding fever is at its
height and just before the eruption appears,
the chest is rubbed with croton oil and
'ariarc ointment. This causes the whole
OF the eruption TO appear on that part of the
body, to the relief of the rest. 1t also
secures tuli and complete eruption, and
thus prevents the disease from ATTACKING the
internal organs
Inns IS said to be now the established
mode OF treatment in the English army in
China, by general orders, and is regarded
as perfect success.

in period of general prosperity.
The same letters speak of discords
among generals, failures in battle, etc.,

dant upon great wars. Read sThier's
volumes relating to the history of the
Penlusular War, and you will find that
Messena, Ney, Soul, and the rest, were

might be burnt by accident, without the
other garments, worn by the lady being

Or,-after the clothes are washed,

small quantity of sal petre is dissolved.
1t improves the appearance, and renders
tue linen or cotton proof against blazing.
Window and bed curtains should also be
so rinsed.

Readable Sketches of Key West.

kaGstHaDlc SHetcGcS oil Eey West.
This little i, land Is ole Of the countless
low Gays, or keys, that from the chain
that enclrcles the southern extremely of
the coast of Florida. 1t is one of the
largest Of them. 1t is of coral forma-
ton, and the white bottom mMrts a
peculiar tingc TO the water around it,
sof cniug the deep blue of the gulf and
the ocean, to an iaimi,ably beautiful
pale emerald. The name Key West,
am told, is corruption by Anglo-Amer-
leans of the Spanish Cay-IIucssa (pro-
nounced kay-whcssa) Isle of Bones.
1t is about five miles long, with an
average breadth of one mile. Il is
about lif y miles west by norh of Cape
Sable, The southern extremity of Florida
peninsula. The city is a Struggling
town of about $1,000 residents, not in
Guiding the soldiers and sailors here on
Government account. 1t is chiefly built
Of wood, painted white, and the better
class of houses are surrounded by veran.
dahs, and embosomed by groves of cocoa
nut trees. These give peculiarly tro-
plcal appearance to the place, with their
tall ringed trunks, shaped like u Dahl.
grcn gun, their long fern-like stems and
leaves clustering into bunchy top, like
the palm-rce. These huge leaves Or
stems with leaves attached in two regu-
lar rows on the on err edges, range from
three to fifteen and even eighteen feet in
length. The nuts grow nesting near
the heart of the cabbage-like top, at the
june ion of the stems with the trunk.

Quite turdy battalion of black SOL
diers was raised in this town, and a
short time ago sent up to Hilton Head,

hey, and nearly all The .colored people
remaining here are the women, children.
and old men. The rest are off to the
war. When our ship swung in to the
wharf, several negro and mulato women
came aboard to offer their services as
laundrcsscs. Ofthese, one bright young
mulatto woman of fine figure and sedate
countenancc, was pointed out to ne by a
gentleman acquainted in the place, as
the daughter of quondam United S. a es
Senator, nJw secretary of the rebel
navy, Mallory and upon subsequent
inquiry, the statement was con irmcd by
a CT ,izen.
