We hear from many sources that estab-
lishmenis for the manufacture Of sugar
from beets are, at tie present day, being
started in various portions Of the United
States in Ohio, Mich, Iowa, Wisconsin
Va, Tennessee, New Jersey, California,
&c. One pioneer establishment, in H., Is,
however, the only one which has for some
time been in actual operation With
proper care as regards the choice of local.
ity where coil and climate are suitable to
the growth of the beet, where water Is abun-
dant during the whole manufacturing sea-
son, and where labor Is not excessive IN
price, no doubt can be entertained as to
the financial results OF this imported and
important branch Of agricultural techu0l-
ogy in America.
Il has proved highly remunerative inev
cry European country where it has firmly
established itself, and has not been inter-
fered or tampered with through injuiicious
legislation or excessive revenue imposts.
No good reason can be assigned why the
production of beet-root sugar should not
prosper on this side of the Atlantic, where
more sugar Is consumed than in any other
part Of the world, and where We are entire
ly dependent on foreign supply for more
than uiue-tenths Of our daily consumption.

luca EjIamPntOSa,

The following interesting account OF this
plant Is from the life Of Mrs. Margaret
Fuller OssoH:
a. had kept two plants of the Iuea
man. 1tt3Sa six or seven years, though they
had never bloomed | knew nothing of
them, and had no notion of what feelings
they would excite, Last June | found in
bud the one which had the most favorable
exposure \ week or two after, the other,
which was more IN the shade, put out
fiower-budS. and thought | should be
able to watch them one after the other
but,-the one which was the most favored
waited for the other. aud both iowered to-
rether at the full Of the moon. This
struck me as very singular; but when L
saw the flower by moonlight, l understood
il. This flower Is made for the moon, as
the Heliotrope is for the sun, aud refuses
other influences, or to display its beauty
in any other light
The first night l saw it in flower I was
conscious Of peculiar delight may
even say rapture. Many white flowers
are far more beautiful by day; the Lily.
for instance, with its firm thick leaves,
needs the broadest light to manifest its pu-
ritv. But these transparent leaves of
creenish white, which look dull in the day,
are melted by the moon to glistening sill
yer. And not only does not this plant ap-
pear in its destined hue by day, but the
flower, though as bell-shapcd, it cannot
quite close again after once expanded, yet
presses its petals together as closely as it
can, hangs down its little blossoms, and its
tall stalk at noon seems to have reared it
self only to betray q shabby insignifcance.
Thus to, with the leaves, which have burst
asunder suddenly like the fan-palm, to
make room for the stalk,-their edges in
the day time look ragged and unfinished
as if nature had left them in a hurry for
some more pleasing task. On the day
after the evening when | had thought it so
beautiful, | could not conceive how | had
made such a mistake. But the second
evening | went out into the garden again.
In clearest moonlight stood my flower,
more beautiful than ever. The stalk
pierced the air Ike spear; all the little
bells had erected themselves around it in
most graceful array, with petals more trans
parent than silver, and of softer light than
the diamond. Their edges were clearly
but not sharply defined they seemed to
have been made by the moons rays. The
leaves which had looked ragged by day,
now seemed fringed by most delicate gos-
samer, and the plant might claim with
pride, It's distinctive epithet of fLan'entosa.
/ looked at it till my feelings became so
strong that l longed to share it. The
thought which filled my mind was, that
here we saw the type of pure feminine
beauty, in the moons own flower
l have since had further opportunity of
watching the Yuoa, and verified these OBJ
servations-that she will not flower till the
full moon, and chooses to hide her beauty
from the eye of day"

and multitudes who had fought lcng and
manfully against disfranchising on account OF
color, went in with will, in favor of dis
franchising on account of birth-places.
What L ask, would have been the condition
of our country in our late war, had that doc
trine prevailed?
We are very apt, in,discussions of this
kind, to forget the principles on which our
government is founded. We reason upon
this question just as the people in a mo-
narchial government would reason, where
as the case is entirely different Our gov
ernment is founded on the principle of equal
rights, that government derives it's just power
from the consent of the governed.
Where then is there any authority for dis
elimination for or against race, color, con-
dition, or sex, and what is Acknowledgement
but simple despotism, for what better right
have million men to disfranchise one, than
one has TO disfranchise a million? Better
take the broad ground which President
Grant says Hill need no altering.

MR EDITOR Is it not a little ludicrous,

NAsHAPAUG.-Th has been several
times within the past two or three years,
quite a sensation in this vicinity over some
wild animal which inhabits the woods
Last fall some trappers, while trapping
mink near Mashapaug pond, caught what
was supposed to be the cause of the dis
turbance, but lately the unknown what-is-
it has made his appearance again, and in
two or three instances thoroughly frighten-
ed some poor souls who CHANGED 10 be
passinr in his vicinity. What the animal
IS, IS a matter of conjecture, and various
names are applied he Is, however, styled
.. Scotland Devil" Some think it black
fox, others a wolverine, and so on, Gd m
fnit1R7. Whatever 1t Is, 1t seems endowed
with a peculiar power TO frighten nervous
people. One man short time ago, when
about a half mile from home, jumped wall
to get across lots home and as he got
over the wall he saw the object of fear on
the other side near him, and without wait
ING for an introduction, or even 10 see what
kind of an object the intruder was, he
started for home, leaving some very long
tracks, his hat, and a pair of straight coat
tails behind When he reached home, he
did not stop to unlatch the door, but bust
the latch and went in head first. Of course
he Is not able to give a very minute de-
scription of the monster. Since then the
animal has been seen by boy sixteen or
seventeen years old, who met him In the
road while driving load of hay, and
though he admits being severely scared. he
Is able to give better account of the ami
NAL than any of the others He describes
the creature as being about the size of
large Newfoundland dog, black, with head
shaped much ike q cats; very large feet,
and long claws. He says the animal came
toward him till he shouted at 1t, when it
turned. Jumped the fence, and took to the
woods. Quite 4 number have heard it in
the night, which time it appears to take to
travel about to procure food. Some sheep
and lambs have been killed lately, and some
are ready to attribute the work to this fel-

field, calves have been reported to have
been killed by It, There is an old saying,
:. Give the devil his due, but in this case
it is not certain but that he gets more
than belongs to him. That there Is some
animal about which does not exactly belong
to this locality, and is not hardly up to the
times in civilization, is pretty evident, but
that he is endowed with the strength and
courage of the African lion, or the fierce
ness of the Bengal tiger, is by no means
certain. However we await further de-

An INDIAN ELECTIoN.-The Mic Mac
tribe of Indians of Prince Edwards Island,
met a few days ago to make choice of
chief. About 800 were present, and Louis
Sark, the chief in power, made a speech,
saying hard things against the white peo-
pie and their influences and innovations
on the property and prerogatives of the
tribe. When he had closed, Aliek Thomas
got up and said
:. Mic Macs and Chief, it grieves my
heart to speak, but the good of my people
tells me to speak. The Mic Macs were
once strong, now they are weak-the white
man comes with his rum and Indian drinks
and dies. Our Chief should not drink.
You all know he drinks too much, and not
fit to be Chief of Mic Mae Indians, and
unless we have good sober Chief We will
all die. Long time ago, any bad King,
people put him away and take another.
I vote that Peter Bernard be Chief.
Several other Indians spoke in favor of
Peter Bernard, and on a show of hands,
Peter Bernard was declared elected. Louis
Sark, the deposed chief, then said:
Mic Macs, for one hundred years my
family have been Chief and have watched
over you, ready to go with you to fight
and bring you back to your wigwams.
You this day have got new Chief---you
will be sorry for this, and soon the crows
will mock poor Indian. Your squaws
that now laugh will cry-your guns no
more shoot, and Indian all die-none
left to bury the last [ hope not so, but
am afraid but let new Chief try for one
year see what he will do"

novelists rarely attempt the short story,
and when they do, are far from increasing
their reputation thereby. Since the time
Of Poe there has been no one eminently
successful in this branch no one whose
great success. A good short story should
have one fresh, central incident, two or
three well-conceived and sharply-drawn
characters, a certain Symmetrical unity in
construction, deep significance in oatastro-
phe or climax-not necessarily moral, as
ordinarily understood but, as nothing
should be purposeless, the short story
should illustrate some defect or virtue in
human character, or portray some special
experience whereby the imagination of the
reader may be gratifed, his sympathies
awakened, or his knowledge of the work
increased. 1t Is not easy to fix the limit
alton to the short story. Its construction
is an art far more so than is generally be-
leved it has its laws, and bears very
nearly the same relation to the novel that
the song does to poetry, which always
properly possesses one definite idea thrown
into a compact, symmetrical form. Writ
crs of short stories cannot hope to attain
success unless they make this form of
composition profound study; they must
have brevity Of expression, conception of
character, keen feeling for unity and SYM
metry in art, and very decided dramatic
perceptions All these qualifications are
necessary, but many of them can be ac-
quired By study. There is no reason why
we should not have a corps of men and
women especially trained to this branch of
art, and capable of producing a regular
supply of highly enjoyable novels in min
iature.-Appleton's Journal.
