A Jury Rebuked.

On the day after the acquittal of Grit
tin, the. culpable engineer in the Mast
hope disaster, Judge Barrett administer.
ed a very remarkable rebuke to the jury
Tor Its verdict. The incident is describ-
Judge Barrett ordered the clerk to
call the names of the jury in the Griffin
case, ana directed that they be seated on
MS lett. The clerk then proceeded to call
the names, and the Jurors responded as
they were, called until the whole PANEL
had taken their seats. The Jury knew
they were under the ban of the Judges
displeasure on account of their action the
previous evening, but they were not
probably prepared for the pouring out of
Indignation which was soon to burst
forth from His Honor. The court room
was full, and the unusual proceeding had
arrested and excited the interest Of ev.
eryone present, and eager curiosity was
aroused as to what was coming next.
Judge Barrett, addressing the jury,
said
g GENTLEMEN You last night re-
turned into court, after a hearing of two
days, with verdict of not guilty in the
case of the Commonwealth against James
Griffin. This was not expected, and your
verdict was against law, against justice,
and An outrage against humanity. You
violated the obligations of your oath-a
plain, simple obligation to render yer.
dict according to the evidence. Instead
OF that you rendered verdict againt
every particle of evidence The cause of
the defendent was abandoned by his coun-li
sell Drowning men will catch at straws.
The theory of the defense is unknown to
the law, and the counsel for the defend
ant did nat believe it themselves. | was,
and still am, astonished at your verdict.
am astonished that you should in this
way set aside the law and violate your
oaths and trust that the dead, dying,
bleeding and burnt victims of Mast Hope
will rebuke you as long as you live. ne
have no power to cure the great wrong @
which you have inflicted on the com,
munity'
''The Judge continued at considerable
length to recount the horrors of the
dreadful disaster at Mast Hope, and to
ask the jury if they had no sympathy
for the sufferers there, but must waste it
all On the prisoner, who was the author
of the great calamity. He concluded his
rebuke to the astonished jurymen as fol.

: "Mr Jessup, of counsel for prosecution,
made a motion that Griffin be held in rec

him on an Indictment for manslaughter

Disappearance of the Dog
.@1 ed Star.

4 most startling astronomical fact, the
explosion, or rather the confagration, of
Tau Coroha occurred some time since It
appears now that another and much more
lmpor tant star is slowly taking itself out
of our system. By calculations of extra
ordinary minuteness and delicacy, Mr..
Muggins and Father Secchi have demon
strated that Sirius and our sun are mutu-
ally receeding from one another at the
rate of 1914 miles per second. In the end,
therefore, though the distance Of time
strains the imagination, we must lose site
of Sirius-that is to say, provided we
have not by that time gained the capaci.
ty of watching the more distant universe
toward which he must be receding-an
improbability. Nothing seems so near its
final limit as the power of astronomical
telescopes, while the power of the human
eye, fit alters at all, probably decreases.

was measured it was found that john
Chinaman had burrowed further into the
rock than his antagonist, and was, more
over, less fatigucd. The bands of China
men now organized by the Central Com
pany arc as fine railroad builders as can
be found anywhere. The officers of the
Union Pacific Road was amazed at what
these fellows did, and it by no means
improbable that our Eastern friends will
eudeavcr to sccurcsome of these trained
gangs for the next railroad enterprise in
which they may engage. Many of the
Chinese bosses, or heads of gangs, on the
Pacific Railroad, are very intelligent men
and few days since we were present
when ono of these entered ear and en-
gagged in a conversation then going on,
Speaking good English, and showing an
extensive acquaintance with railroad
matters. 1t is well that we should bear
in mind the great assistance that the
Chinese have afforded to the Pacific Rail-
road. and that we should remember the
difficulties which their presence dissipa-
ted. The training they have received
on that road has given to California a
large body of men peculiarly adapted to
this description of work, and it has rem
dercd comparatively easy the carrying
out of other enterprises of the same char
acter. They will probably, be largely
employed in the construction of the Cal
ifornia and Oregon Railroad, now about
to be entered upon; and while they do not
prevent the engagement of white men,
they will facilitate enterprises which
might be impracticable, lacking their
aid. The Chinaman is a born railroad
builder, and as such he is destined to be
most useful to California, and, indeed, to
the whole Pacific slope.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

We publish the Card of the st. Louis
Agent of Chinese immigration and IN
vito attention to this very important
subject, Vast numbers of these people
have been employed in California with
in the past year and with the highest
satisfaction. Whether the service is on
the Farm, in the Mine, Factory, or in
domestic duty, they have been fo'and in
dustrious and skillful and faithful to their
contracts
In majority of cases, labor on the
farm, or for that matter anywhere else,
is scarcely worth the having if after
giving directions you must dog the heels
of the laborcr to sec your directions ex-
ecuted, and this is our present condition
with very little exception. We must
have Labor with intelligence enough to
understand, energy enough to execute
and integrity enough to discharge, honest
obligations and we rather think we viii
find it nowkevc else but in the over
crowded population of China. At all
events the movement is started-our
trains will soon be loaded with this sort
of freight and the experiment will be
tried.

SUGAR CAM BE MADE FROM soR-
GHUM AND WITH GREAT PROFIT

When at Louisville, KY, last week
we visited the works of the Southern
Sorgo Company, for the purpose Of ex
aiming the process by which they
manufacture sugar from sorghum. w
have fer long time believed process
would be discovered by which, undeI
certain conditions, sugar could be made
from the sorghum, as certainly as it il
from the tropical and West India cane
We were most happily surprised, on oul
visit to the above named works, to find
our faith SO soon realized, by discoveries
that have already been tested by extern
sivc experience in the successful manu-
facture of sugar from the sorghum plant ;
and this too, in quantities that place it
among the most profitable of all crops.
The process by which this is accom-
plished has been patented, yet it is very
sinaple, and without the use OF chemicals,
or complicated machinery the essential
conditions being chiefly such manipula-
tions as shall not destroy or injure the
FORMULATING principle, naturally existing
in the syrup, and the removal of the
gummy, or glutinous matter found IN all
sorghum molasses.
One of the most interesting features Of
the whole process is the manner in which
the latter object is accomplished. The
viscidity in the syrup that makes it
stringy, and to somc extent prevents
granulation, is removed by precipitating
the ingredient, resolving it in the form of
q pulp, OF coagulum, which is easily re-
moved. But we cannot go into min
ute description Of the proccss-sufiico it
to say that the entire machinery that one
would necessarily purchase, beside the
crushing mill, costs only about one han
drcd dollars. The disagreable sorghum
taste is removed from both syrup and
sugar, and every gallon of syrup yields
from four to six pounds of beautiful SUI
gar-squal to the best New Orleans
brewn, and four to six pounds of syrup.
Mr.. j. n. Scebolt, on whose promises
The works are situated, last year raised
40 acres Of this cane. kIis crop yielded
an average Of one hundred and fifty gall
Ions of syrup to the acre, and the syrup
six pounds Of sugar to the gallon.
We have sample of the sugar that
any person desiring to do so, can see by
calling at our office; also a pamphlet,
containing the certificates of several ag-
rfeahural committees and scientific gen.
tlemen who have examined this process
of making sugar. The price Of the pat
snt,. for Individual rights, We understand,
ia enc hundred dollars.
