ID. ..f Exports.


Exports.
The fact has already been published
that the domestic exports of the Uni
ted States for the fiscal year ending
July, 1867, to all countries, not reckon
ing the exports which were under half
u million of dollars in value to any
country, were about forty millions less
than in 1S6O,'the year before the war.
The amount is reckoned in specie, and
was for 1867 over three hundred and
thirty-four millions against three hun
bred and soventy-three millions in 1860.
The N. Y. Herald says, with perfect
truth: sP 'r
"This falling off of forty millions is
to be attributed in q great measure, I'M
doubleday, to the decline of Southern
products, The war and the destructive
measures Of Congress have paralyzed
the industry Of the South, although the
pressing necessities of the Southern
people forced them to make extraordi-
nary efforts to. raise crops last year.
Next year we may expect, under the
same ruinious policy of A.ricanizing the
South, astill greater falling oil in cot
ton and other staple products. The
balance of foreign trade, as q conse
quoncc, will be heavier against us, ano
there will be q greater drain OF the pre-
riovs metals. Yet, strange tc say, the
very men who are running the Soutl
by their radical policy cry out for i'm
mediate specie payments. They force
away the gold to pay balances abroad
which would help us to approach a spe
Gle basis, by making the country lin
productive, at the same time they clam
| or for immediate resumption. Sucl
stupidity is almost incredible. Te
make the country prosperous, to reach
specie payments, and to prevent TIM
drain of the precious metals, we mus
restore the South undcra more liberia
policy than is now being followed, ant
Increase its valuable staple produc

Beet.rOOt Sugar.

The Commissioner of Agriculture com municate some statirtics relating to the manufacture of beet-root sugar, and the decline of the caneSugar interest m the Gulf States makes the subject important ns we'll as inter esting. The first Napoleon desiring to exclude from the empire the sugar of the British colonies, offered 2 prize of one million francs for the most successful method of obtaining 2 supply of indigeous sugar. The beet root offer ed the staple, but up to 1918 the manu. facture of such sugar had made little pro- gress, while twenty years later there were 26S factories in France, Germany, Sweden and Russia. Ten years afterward, lS4S, France had 294 factories, Prussia 346, and Russia 425, January l 1868, no less than 3,l73 refneries of beet-root sugar, 449 of which are in France, were in successful operation in Europe. The gigantic growth of this single interest is best shown in the statement of the total production in 1928, which was 1000 tons, while last year the product was 663,000 tons, worth sl0O,. 000, ,000. In 1867, l5,000 tons of raw beet sugar were imported into London, and single sugar refner, who uses 800 tons per week, offers eighteen shillings (s4 5O) per ton for 5000 tons of English sugar beet. In this country beginning in beet sugar making has been quite successful at Chatsworth, Illinois. Itis unquestionably feasible in every part of the country where the soil is suitable tor the crop, and the importance of general introduction of this industry is shown in the statement that we are now paying an average of about s33, 100000 in gold. or more than s50,000, 900 in currency. for foreign sugar and molasses which might be manufactur- e6 in this country.

What is uissaare a srsAe fArAeF.
 This is . big subject aad ws can en- iy briefly deal with 1t now. What we yay, however, is prompted by an earnest desiss for the progress of agri- culture and the good of those engaged in it. That the farmer should kroy his duty will net bs disputed, and that to fully do it is only being true to his own intcrest, is equally true. One of the most important duties is to keep himself posted in all matters pertain ing to his calling. 1fhis early cduca- ton was liberal, he entered upon the active, earnest duties of life with a mind we'll stored with theoreticed pro. positions and we'll preparedto prof by experience. If not, he may do much to retrieve his early loss by diligent improvement of leisure hours. If however, he is co circum stanced as to be too busy or too old to learn, (which we don't believe ever happens,) he should see that his children have oil the advantage of education to be had The merchant who undcrstands the resources of the country, the condition of foreign trade, and the state of the markets. possesses great advantages over him who is ignorant of these matters. It is none the less true that the farmer who understands his busi. ness in all its departments and rela- tioas is more successful than him who 10 ignorant.
 Farming is not only profession, but of all professions 1t embraces the widest range of scientific propositiont and practical facts, and affords the widest field for the exercise of tn. philosophic and analytic mind. In. stead of the brightest boys being sent to medical colleges for field worth, of their talents, they should be educa ted in the science and instructed prac tically in the duties of agriculture 1t is prominent duty of the farmer te % pursue his calling as to inspire { respect for it in the minds of his chil dren, and SO train them that they shal be able to pursue it successfully, which can only be effected by his availine himself of every advantage resulting from the discoyeries of science and tho accumulated experience of the past This will at once strip farming of al most every disagrecablc feature, and elothe 1t with attractions possessed b, no other business. As at present con ducted, there is large amount of yer, disagreeable labor required to bt performed in farming, and it is mainl, to this fact that we owe the desertior of that business for others by countr, boys. Science and human skill mus relieve this, and undoubtedly will, i the farmer will avail himself of theil aids.

 Hair. nr~~
 Coarse black hair and dark skin signify great power of character, with a tendency to sensuality. Fine hair and dark skin indicate strength of char acter, along with purity aud goodness. Stiff, straight black hair and beard indicate coarse, strong, rigid, straight forward character. Fine dark brown hair signifies the combination ofexqui- site sensibilities, with great strength of character. Flat, clinging, straight hair, a melancholy but extremely con stant character. Harsh, upright hair is the sign ofa reticent and sour spirit; a stubborn and harsh character. Coarse red hair and whiskers indicate power full animal passions, together with a corresponding strength of character. Auburn hair, with forid countenance, denote the highest order of sentiment aud intensity of feeling, purity ofchar. acter, with the highest capacity for cuJOymcut VT suuctiuE' Cu"Sue, even, smooth and glossy hair denote strength, harmony, evenness of charac- ter, hearty affections, . clear head, and superior talents.
 Fine, silky, supple hair is the mark of c delicate and sensitive temperament, and speaks in favor of the mind and character of the owner. Crisp, curly hair indicates nasty, somewhat inn petuous and rash character. White hair denotes lymphantic and indolent constitution and we may.add that be- sides these qualities there are chemi- cal properties residing in the coloring matter of the hair-tube which undoubt- ed have some effect upon the dis position. Thus, red-haired people are notoricusly passionate. Now, red hair is proved by analysis to contain large amount of sulphur, while very black is colored with almost pure carbon. The presence of these matters in the blood points peculiarities oftemperamentan and feeling which are almost universally associated with them. The very way in which the hair flows is strongly indicative of the ruling passions and inclinations, and perhaps clever per son could give a shrewd guess at the manner of man or women's disposi. ton by only seeing the backs of their heads.

Opening the Bowels Of the Earth

-
 The city of Hartford, Conn, is an en. terprising places, and Mrs. Colt is one of its most enterprising inhabitants. She has extensive greenhouses, and it is pro- posed to warm them with hot water For this purpose an artesian well is being sunk with the intention of conveying it down nntil it penetrates the bowels of the earth; and strikes the region of hot water This may seem like something of sn undertak ing, but it must be accomplished ifa lan- kss isdy wishes too keep her conservsto- yics warm. The Hartford Times thus re. por0 the progress:
 The new Artesisn well now in progress on the Col. estate, is situated only four rods north of tho old one. The old one was sbaDdeaed at depth of 270 feet This one has already been drilled out to the depth of about TAO feet, and is mak. irg slew progress at the rate of half foot . day through the hardest rock ever en- eountsred by the contractor, MT. Caroll-- and he has worked at Artcsian we'll bor- Ing in Canada and cities of the West. So hard is the rock that it dulls the drills at the first blow, and they have to be drawn sp and sharpened every time after they have been allowed to fall upon the rock, which is kind of iron stone. The hole h five inches in diameter. Wooden shafts, S2 feet long, are coupled together and the drill attached, the whole moving by n walking beam, and steam engine. The hard rock, several feet thick, is now be- hsvsd to be bored very nearly through.
 It was Colonel Colts idea to sink an Artesiau well deeper than any in France CT the one at St Louis, in order to get, if possible, hot water from the regions of the earths interior heat, to warm his cxten sivs greenhouse with. This might be \ difficult and costly job. The deepest sx- isting wells are, we believe, not more than 2700 feet deep.
 Nov, the warmth caused by the molten mass of the earth's fiery interior is com putsd to increase at the rate of about one degree to every GA feet of descent-af.er going down 1900 feet to begin with - Short of eighteen hundred feet, the in- crease is too slight to be taken into ac count. The rate increases to degree ev- cry 54 feet after reaching depth of, we believe, about thirty-6ve thousand feet, and that rate, it ii calculated, gradually increases with the increase of depth.
 But these facts afford little encourage. nsnt to any plan for obtaining hot water by boring. Nature herself has saved this isoubls for us in the eases where "hot springs," coming up from the unfathoma bls and mysterious depths, boil over the surface. But there are none of these this aide of Arkansss, q the knowledge seek ing Senator from Indiana perfectly well knows.
