Corn sirup.


1t may now be two years since we
announced that German Chemist In
Bnffalo, claimed to have discovered a
process whereby the starch of Indian
Corn might be readily transmitted into
sugar, whereof it has long been known
as the chemical equivalent. Hispatent
was bought soon afterwards, by com
pany in this city, who have since ex.
perimented with it, under the direction
of Mr.. A. T. Ockershausen, the emf

We looked inEthere few days since

/. No marketable sugar has been
made under this patent. That which
alone has been produced is What i;

form of its particles from cane sugar
and not convertible into the latter by
any known process.
2. Strip, of fair quality, is made Of
corn under this patent, and may be, tC

intensely sweet as cane Or maple strip

no alloy or other fault in it. Weshould
Judge that one hundred gallons of corr
strip are about equal to seventy-tiye Of
equally thick cane strip. The color Of
the two docs not materially differ.
8. The starch of the corn is separated
for strip precisely as it is for the. pro
duction of the edible corn starch o.
commerce. Beyond that point we die
not observe the process; but presume
i the transmutation of starch into sugar
is akin to that whereby alcohol is OBJ

An American Ralah Of Borneo.

A Singapore correspondent gives an
interesting account of territory, as
large almost as that of Massachusetts,,
granted by the Sultan of Borneo to an
American citizen. This American rajah
Of Borneo, who is now emulating the
glories of the English rajah Brook, OF
Sarawack, is Capt. Walter M. Gibson,
a gentleman whose adventurous spirit
was described by Nathaniel Hawthorne
in his last work on England, III which
he refers to Captain Gibson's discover
les as among the most interesting reml-
u iscences OF his consular experience In
Liverpool Capt. Gibson has entertain
ed for many years past the project OF
founding some settlement or other In
the Malay archipelago, and twill be
remembered that his former exploits
were rather suddenly interrupted by
the Dutch authorities of those islands,
who arrested the Yankee coloniZer with
out ceremony: MIR. Gibson, on effect
ing his release. and after returning to
| this country, urged claims of indemnity
against the Dutch jailors, and also pub
lished glowing narrative of his adven-
lures. Far, however, from being damp
ed in his enthusiasm by the Malay pri-
son, the gallant captain chung to his
project with increased ardor, and event
ually, in 1860, he repaired to Salt Lake
with his daughter, with a view of pre-
vailing upon Brigham Young to fix the
future abode of his colony ia the Malay
archipelago, but that region was fort
innate enough to be saved from this Nor
mon visitation, and Mr. Gibson does
not seem to have attained to any other
achievement in Utah, than The pleasure
of delivering lectures on the favorite
scheme, which had, at least, happy
effect in improving the style of oratory
to which the Latter Day saints We're
accustomed. Since that time Mr.. Glib
son seems to have found bis way back
to- Borneo, where he has, at last, accom-
plished the great object of his life snd
established colony of which he is the
ruler. &. si'aO -" ~ "i ''T

time to react favorably upon the othel

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Something ab0ut Cabbage.

Near large cities innumerable quanti-
ties of cabbage are grown and cOnsum-
ed, and every means devised to obtain
the earliest and finest as the case may
be. The following extract from the
Tribune will give an idea of how the
matter is managed In New York, where
market gardening is now quite an art:
"The great cabbage growers about
New York city generally calculate upon
10, 600 heads per acre, allowing four
superficial feet to each plant. which
gives a surplus of 5000 for missing
plants. We suppose tn crop may aver
age five cents head, giving $500 an
acre, which, considering it is second
or third crop of the season. affords a
pretty good return. Cabbages often
follow peas, with which radishes or let
tuce has been grown: and the ground
from which an early crop of potatoes
has been taken is often planted with
ate cabbages. The soil for this crop
must be rich, and manure used unspar-
ingly. Hog manure is not approved in
this vicinity; it is said that it produces
club footed cabbages.' The gardeners
prefer rotation for this crop, though we
have known good cabbages grown upon
the same spot for years in succession.
Near a city there is no doubt about the
proftableness of the crop; aud we be-
lieve it valuable one for food for cat
tie and sheep. 1t increases the flow of
milk, but does not improve the quality.
Irrigation is very valuable where cab
bsges are grown, as they require vast
quantity of water as well as manure,
with deep tillage and thorough -cultiva-
ton"

a Negro Sculptures Art Studies at


A correspondent of the London
Athenaum writing from Rome says that
an interesting novelty has sprung up in
the Eternal city where all the surround
ings are of the olden time:
/ Miss Edmonia Lewis, lady of color,
has taken q studio in Rome, and works
as sculptures in one of the rooms for
merly occupied by the great master Can
ova. She is the only lady of her race
in the United States who has thus APP
piled herself to the study and pratice OF
aculptural art, and the fact is so re-
markable and unique that brief sketch
of her life, given almost in her own
words, will, am sure, be acceptable to
the wide circle of your readers. "My
mother" she told me only last Mon
day, twas wild Indian, and was born
in Albany, of copper color and with
straight, black hair. There she made
and sold moccasins. My father, who
was negro and gentleman's servant,
saw her and married her. / was born
at Greenhigh, in Ohio. Mother often
left her home, and wandered with her
people. whose habits she could not for
get, and thus we, her children, were
brought up in the same wild manner. -
Until was IL years old led this wan

added with great glee, sand making

here is your book, the book of nature;

Ohio, where i remained four years, and
then thought of returning to wild life
again, but my love of sculpture forbade
it. sSome friends recommended me to
go to England, but thought it better
first to study in Rome" And here she
is, the descendant and member of a
much injured race, struggling against
ignorant prejudice, but with genius
enough to prove that she bears the i'm
age of him who made all nations under
the sun.
While her youth and her color claim
our warmest sympathies, Miss Edmonia
Lewis has very engaging appearance
and manners. Her eyes aud the upper
part of her face are fine; the crisp hair
and thick lips, on tue other hand, be-
speak her negro paternity. Naice III
