Funny Observation-Disclosures
carries are useful folks. People very
kindly make them so. Does some

apothecaries are almost always on
corners-and inquiries. If a bundle

sometimes leave their characters with
the apothecary for safe keeping. We
do not know of one corner at least
where we think it would be safe to

the reader what orders sometimes

BEET SuGAR.-The beet sugar
mandatory at Chattsworth is now
for the first time in successful opera
ton The remodeling and improve
ment in the past summer has put the
works in complete order. Their beets
are Of the tir~t quality, although,
owing {" ne dry season, the yield
was I-4 per acre than usual, but this
does not lessen materially the yield
Of sugar, as small beet crop raisedein
adry season will yield as much sugar
as a much larger one grown in wet
season. The company is feeding
about five hundred head of cattle
from their beet pomace, and are ship
ping carload of sugar every week
This is the success Of one of the
grandest enterprises of Illinois, aud
offers brilliant example to others to
90 and do likewise-open up new
mine of wealth to our State, and fill a
large and increasing demand that has
now to be supplied in great part
from foreign countries. Not only in
sugar is there profit, but, as noted
above, the pomace of the beet will
feed nearly as many cattle as would
the same amount of ground afford
from any other product. We feel
pleasure in offering to the Germania
Sugar Company our congratulations
on their success. Bloomington Pan

REINTERMENT or THE REMAINS OF
THE LATE Cart. j. DUNCAN STUART
Agreeable to previous notice, the re-
mains Of the lamented 'Dunc Stuart"
AS, he was familiarly called by bis
relatives, friends and associates. - were
transferred on Sunday last, from their
previous place of repose at the Plains
to the Magnolia Cemetery il this
vicinity, for final interment The
coffin containing the remains, lay ex'
posed at the Presbyterian Church
during the day and until the hour, Of
3P. NJ, when the Masonic fraternity
and numerous other friends, including
ladies and the late comrades. in-arms
OF the deceased, assembled at the
church, preparatory to forming the
funeral corlege. Before leaving the
church, and after the singing Of an
appropriate hymn by the choir, Geo
A. Pike, W. NJ. Of St. James Lodge,
No. AZ, delivered brief address to
the Masonic brethren, touching the
solemn object for which they had as.
sembied and the noble virtues that
adorned the character of the deceased.
The procession was then formed
and proceeded with the remains to
the Cemetery, where they were deposi.
ted and the last sad Office of sculpture
performed over them in accordance
with the ancient, lime.honored rites
Of Masonry.
Notwithstanding the day was
was rainy and the streets rendered
thereby muddy and disagreeable, yet
the tbrcng Of funeral attendants on
foot as well as 10 vehicles, was large
and respectable, going to show in
what high esteem the brave and
chivalrous young officer and high,
toned, honorable gentleman was held
in the community where he was
born and reared and attained to signal
merit and distinction.
Heroic Dune! Brave as the bravest,
you did not falter in the midst Of
danger to risk your life in con-
scientious discharge of duty. The
blood Of your fresh young heart 50
freely shed upon your country's altar,
was a sacrifice which though it
sealed your earthly doom, gives
brighter hue to the halo Of glory that
encircles your good name.

tg Some time ago spirit OF i'm
migration was rife in this and other
Southern communities, tending to a
direction still more soutberly than
our own latitude,-to Honduras, for
example. OF late, disposition to
seek their fortunes in region and
climate the anti podes of Honduras,
has manifested itself among our
active minded, enterprising young
men. The fast-growing, progressive
localities to be found in the far West
or Northwest, are now engaging the
desires and attention Of many who
are casting about for a change in
their lot, Among those who have
already left us in quest Of other and
new fields of business venture in
those remote but inviting regions,
are Capt. Robert II. Edmonston Gate
OF the firm of Edmonston & Wei
shans), and Mr.. Dewey Brooks, two
Of the most clever and deserving
young gentlemen Of our acquaint-
ance. While joining in the general
regret at their departure from among
US, we also join in the general good
wishes which are extended to them
for their future success and pros
perity. Others are preparing to leave
us in the Spring to wend their way
in the same direction and with the
same views and aspirations.
1t is sad to think that 50 many Of
our very best young men are com
PEELED by the PROSTATE condition of
affairs in the South to seek for bust
ness avenues in other parts more
favorable in such RESPECTS, but less
favored in point of natural resources
and advantages than our own State.
We can but commend the spirit
however, which, unwilling to linger
along III a condition of inertness,
breaks loose from the clogs and fet-
ters that bind it and turns with a will
and determination to other spheres
Of life and action more promising
and congenial.
If Congress persists and success
fully persists in enforcing its repul-
sive reconstruction laws upon the
Southern people, thus deranging
and paralyzing their every effort to
recover from the effects of the late
war and the political insecurity
which has followed it and which
threatens to continue. We can look
for nothing else than a steady if not
rapid continuance of that exodus
which is depriYing our land of so
many Of its most sterling and useful
in habitants.

A New GAME OF EUCHRE.-The
English have made an Improvement
in the mode Of playing this game,
description of which will no doubt
prove interesting to euchre players.
For example, with every pack of
playing cards sold there is one blank
card at the top of the deck, used in
this country frequently as a "marker."
But the English make better use
OF this white.fac card. They in
clude it in the suits, making fifty
three to the deck instead of fifty two,
and to the eucbre deck twenty-nine
instead Of twenty eight cards. This
blank card at first was called "Louis
Napoleon" but has been subse-
quently corrupted into the less eu-
phonius title Of "yerker." The
"yerker," then, is the highest ranking
card in the euchre deck, having ca
pacity to capture either of the bow
ers or the ace, so that man may be
euchred even with the ace and two
bowers. Whenever the "yerker is
turned up by the dealer, that person
has the privilege of making the
trump, and can make it to the most
advantageous suit in his hand. The
game is novel, and we understand
affords much diversion to the play
ers.

PARISH DEMOCRATIC CoNvEN-
ToN The Parochial Convention
held in this city on Saturday last,
was pretty fairly attended by dele
gates from tie different wards, con-
sidering the little taste or inclination

gatherings now a-days.
?. A. Walker, Esq, presided over

which, besides the worthy objects
sought to be promoted, had the merit
Of brevity to recommend them
Delegates from the parish were
appointed to attend the State Demo
cratic Convention to be held in New
Orleans, on the 5th of next month.
Col. A. S. Heron being called
upon for a speech, made favorable
response thereto, by appearing on the
stand and treating the assemblage to
an eloquent review Of the beauties of
Radicalism and the glazing abuses
and proscriptive character of that
beautiful system, which to accom-
plish its selfish ends, would lay
waste the whole country, rather than
see its own power overshadowed and
set aside by true Democratic Re-
publican policy of government. The
Colonel INDUCED in some very well
timed, judicious appeals to the freed
men, quite number of whom We're
in the crowd, and his remarks ap-
peared to fall with happy effect upon
their minds.
Col. }. Q. Fuqua, next followed, iu
response to call made upon him
He dlssected with his usual clearness
md ability, the dangerous and mis-
rhievous policy Of the Radical party
and Analysed with logic force and

high handed attempts upon the Su.
preme Judiciary.
At the close Of his address the Con
vention adjourned.
