Worlds Fair at London, and received prize

white and as fine as our best gr.nnlated

at the Fair, and many mouths watered to
taste it. The old Vermont farmer was highly

The season is close at hand for making
maple sugar, and those who are so fortunate
as TO own maple groves will soon begin to pre-
pare for the pleasant labor of tapping these
noble trees and converting their delicious sap
into syrup and sugar And here let us say to
our rfarmers-especially to our young men who
have cIosen agriculture as the means of OBJ
tanning an honest living in this world-that
if there are no maple orchards upon their
farms, they ought to begin the work of setting
out trees at once in. some nook or corner, or on
some hillside, where they will flourish and
not occupy land more useful for other pur.
poses. We have often thought, when riding
over the country, how many of these trees
might now be growing along cur public high
ways, adding beauty to the farms and yielding
profitable sugar crop. li all our farmers had
done such work twenty years ago at very little
expense TO each, what beautiful landscape
we should now have! We know of nothing
that adds so much beauty TO the country as
thrifty sugar naples growing along our public
roadways. And yet how such enterprises are
neglected from year to year!
Our soil and climate are admirably suited
to the growth Of rock-maple, and few OF our
farmers have set them out in their backyards
and by the readsides. But these are eXcep
tional cases, we regret to say. A few trees
will produce many pounds OF sugar iiproper-
ly managed. Throughout the Middle and
Nolthern States many tons are made every
season. Maine Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, New York, Michigan, Ohio
and the Canadas make the most, and the
Middle and some of the Southern States mo-
duce it in limited quantities.
In the year 1860 Maine produced 80 1878
gallons OF syrup and 3O6,742 pounds of sugar,
Vermont 1928 gallons and {, 1881, ,7S1 pounds
and New York 131 ,s43 gallons and 1O,sl6,-
410 pounds. The Empire State takes the lead,
and Vermont comes nexi. But Vermont in
proportion to her territory, far exceeds New
York or any other State. Michigan IS the
third State, producing four millions OF pounds
of sugar and sixty thousand gallons OF syrup
Our State has trees enough to yield many
tons more than she has ever produced. Our
farmers have not given their attention TO this
business as they have in Vermont or New
Hampshire. We believe, however, that in

Ohio and the Negroes.

III. G.. makes noise mile long be-
cause the people of Ohio refuse to al.
low negroes to vote, and extend the
prohibition to all persons having a
" distinct and visible admixture OF
African blood" But he has not word
to say about the people of Massachu-
setts, who in their first State organiza-
tiOn provided that all negroes or per-
SONS of African origin (saving and ex-
cepting the subjects of the Emperor OF
Merocco) who SHOULD come into that
State should be requested to leave at
once, and further ordained that If they
we're slow in taking the hint
thus given them, they should be
severely whipped" once every ten days
until they departed. There is, to be
sure, difference between the two cases,
aud this is the difference that the people
of Massachusetts have got rid of their
Africans, while the people of Ohio mean
to get rid of theirs. Also, the people
of Ohio, being more humane than those
of Massachusetts are content with o
simple disfranchisement of these inter
lopers whom Massachusetts drove forth
with scourges clottcd with the blood of
beaten Quakers and AnabaptiSts and In
dians.
Why doesn't the Tribune publish the
simple facts of the census as to the pro-
portion of the African to the white pop
ulatien in the States which have made
cheap virtue of adopting its so-called
Impartial Sutfrage."-[N y. UOrId.

The Condition of the Negroes.
From the Macon CGa.) Journal.


The negroes arc discovering that not
withstanding they have been set free
and that Congress does little else but
legislate for and about them, they are
poorer aud worse off than they ever
were in their lives. Here in this city
they live hard enough, although we
have really less destitution than in any
city of the size in the United States
Their whole life is involved in the sim
pie question of labor, question which
has always been felt and well under.
stood by the white people. Those OF
them who work and are economical get
along as well as they ever did. But
large per cent. spend every cent they
can get hold of on flimsy and tlashy
clothing and jewelry; and should there,
by any possible chance, be any money
left, it is spent on the ball room OF
other amusement. They have no
thought of saving up their wages fol
hard times or old age, or of investing it
in real estate, or for providing for day
when they are out of employment.
But to their credit be it said, the ef-
forts of the Radical party 10 arouse
them into political excitement have
failed. They do not see any meat and
bread in the act of laying down their
work and rallying to the slogan cry OF
political leaders. Last year the tap OF
the drum any day would bring a meet.
ing of a thousand to this city from all
the country around. The novelty OF
their participating in such proceedings
were the handspring of their action.
That novelty has wholly died out. They
are beginning to see that the averse
legislation to the capital of the coun-
try has directly deleterious effect up
on them. Like the white people, they
ask for a truce to this turmeil, and for
quiet and repose.
