THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE STRIKE.
This brings us down to the date at the head of my
letter. Matters are now in a transition state, and
the prospect is fair that the strike will fail igno

partial force is at work in most of the leading

of men ready to work at such wages, if not pre-

rOwdy strikers were arrested, and brought down
here from Treasure City and placed in Jail. Their
companions, failing to liberate them on bail OF by
threats made preparations for an attempt to
them from prison during the night by assautng the
jail. The citizens of Treasure City were in eommu-

and cOuneTs, and the telegraph was kept working all
night to warn the Hamiltonans Of the departure for
their city OF any hostile expedition The Jail was
provided with extra guards, and $50 American citi-

rifles and revolvers at hand, ready to turn out and
give the rioters bloody reception at moments

A Paris correspondent says
that Dumas, ST., is extremely
obese, and moves about with
difficulty. He is a man of pow
full frame as well as mind and
labors almost necessarily with
his pen. His features are de-
cidedly African and his hair
woolly. AS age grows upon
him, he becomes the victim of
peculiar whims and fancies !;
he cooks his own food, conduct
ing the culinary ceremony with
a religious exactitude, and is
always satisfied with his cuisine
productions. When he eats,
and that's very irregularly and
seldom, he enjoys his food. At
/ ter his meals, he returns to his
chair, and dictates to a young
lady until nature prevails, and
he drops off into a calm sum-
Der. He scarcely retires to bed,
but sits aid sleeps an hour or
two, and instantly upon awak-
ening calls for his amanuensis,
and proceeds with his work.
Modesty always sits grace
fully upon youth; it covers a
multitude Of faults, and doub-
les the lustre of every virtue
which it seems to hide. In a
man, it is the index of an in
genuous heart; in a young lady
it is the golden key whereby
the truly discerning may I'M
lock the casket which conceals
from common observers the in
imitable graces and wealthy
treasures of her mind.

Question, make such stupid
declarations -
'The amount of sugar con-
sumed in the United States
during the years 1866, 1866
and 1867, was respectively as
follows: $50, 800 tons, 39l, 67s
tons, 410,56S tons; of these
quantities 345, 1909 tons, 1888, l78
tons, and 378,O68 tons were
sugars imported into the coun-
try from the West Indies. -
From the above figures we
compute that we paid to for
leigners, with whom we made
comparatively few exchanges of
commodities, a sum which, for
1867, amounted to $84,232.
The consumption of sugar per
capita, (white and colored)
amounts, in this country, to
1927 lbs. annually. The SUI
gar from the Southern States
did not, in 1867, reach more
then Sc per cent. Of the total
consumption of the country.
Our climate and soil are we'll
suited to it's cultivation. Nume-
rous experiments made in vari-
GUS States, give us general
average of 24.4S tons Of beets
to the acre, and an average cost
of production of So AZ per ton.
American grown sugar-beets
have produced, to each 100
pounds of the root, an average
Of LOG pounds of available raw
sugar. This would eve us be-
tween 5000 and 5000 pounds
of sugar to the acre, while in
Louisiana hardly 1900 pounds
is ever reached by the cultiva-
ton OF sugar cane. II we take
an average crop at 20 tons Of
beet to the acre, and at a cost
of So per ton to produce it, we
find the cost of raising one acre
of beet roots to be $50; and if
we extract 8 per cent, of sugar
from them, we obtain 1854
pounds Of sugar, which, at
present prices, would be worth
$537 60, leaving a wide mar
gin, beyond expenses of manu-
featuring interest on capital,
and other items. We feel con-

WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT.

Through the weary day on his couch he

With the life-tide ebbing slowly away,
And the dew on his cold brow gathering

As the !. pendulum numbered moments pass

Pray for souls serene release,
That the weary spirit may rest in peace

The whits-winged ships that silently wait
For the foaming wave and the wind that's

From the stranded ships that shall sail no

Oh, the ocean shall win all these
When the tide goes out.
But of all that drift from the shore to the
Is the human soul to Eternity,
Floating away from silent shore,
Like fated ship, to return no more;
Saddest, most solemn of ala soul ...
Pausing where unknown waters roll.
Where shall the surging current tend,
Slowly drifting friend from friend,
When the tide goes out2
For our parting spirit, pray, oh, pray,
While the tide of life is ebbing away,

BEET SUGAR.

The beet region of France
conforms to the conditions in
the isotherrnal lines, including a
mean summer temperature va
rying from go degrees to "a
while its winter lines run
somewhat below 80 degrees.
The total annual rainfall of
Northern France is % inches 4;
that Of Southern France 90, and
Western France "a; yet the
South of France is not nearl so
favorable to the sugar interest,
for the reason that, although
the total rain is equal to that
| of the other regions, only a linn
tied amount fails during -.lAa
summer-the wet season occur,
ring in autumn. The mean
annual fall of rain over the rest
Of France shows the depth of
% inches Northern and South
ern Germany, 26 inches in the
one season, and 81 inches in the
other the largest amount in
summer and the balance in
spring. All these localities
grow beets, with a large per
centage of saccharine property
in the juice.
The success in raising beets
for sugar in Spain has not been
promising. Almost the whole
Of that country lies in the re-
gion of autumnal rains, having
a total rainfall of 80 inches, 80
per cent. of which takes place
in the spring, and 20 per cent.
in the summer. A liberal sup
ply of rain, during the growth
of the beet, appears to be ne
cessary, to convert a portion OF
the cellulose into sugar. After
the first of September no furth-
er active formation Of cellulose
takes place, the gain or loss Of
weight in the roots being due
to the imbibation of more or
less water by the beets, which
only serves to dilute the sap ra-
ther than to increase the sugar,
and thus autumnal rains do not
aid in maturing the juice.
AS the causes which regulate
temperature over the U. States
in a direction chiefly from North
to South, rather than from East
to West, as in Europe, the belts
of temperature corresponding to
those Of Europe are wider from
| North to South, hence a great
extent of land is favorable to
the adoption of this industry.
The extreme south of this coun-
try is, of course, untitled for
the culture, and no line of lati-
tude can here define the north
ern or southern boundary, since
latitude and climate do not cor
respond. IF a summer tempera.
ture of " degrees f. be held
the highest for favorable cul,
ture, then the southern limit
would begin at the southern
line of Virginia, on the Allan
tic, reach latitude 35 degrees il

and from thence to Fort Leav-
enworth, and from that poin

Mortality among Mormons.

AS might be expected, the mortal
ity among Mormon children is fright
full. The polygamists are like the
old woman who lived in a shoe, and
do not know what to do with their
many children; at any rate they do
not properly care for them. OF sixty
deaths in Salt Lake City in month,
forty5four were children. Heber
Kimball is reported to have buried
forty-eight children out of sixty-three
in his collection; one bishop had
lost twenty children; another, TWEEN
t -eight; another, seventeen. Jo-
seph Smith had six wives, bnt left

among Mormons of all ages is said

IS great as that of Oregon. o~;f,

In Memoriam:
To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Gazette i:

y utc ISuIcE " Ike OtNCtHHhtt cu~tCtt
Judge Thomas Irwin, a brief notice Of
whose death on the 7th inst appeared in the
newspapers of last week, was born in Albsr-
marie county Virginia, in 1874. He graiua-
ted at Washington College, Lexington, and
after careful preparation was admitted to
the bar at Staunton. He removed early from
Virginia to Lancaster, Ohio, where his eldest
brother, Judge William irwin, resided In
1896 he was elected Presiding Judge of the
Eighth Judicial Circuit, and continued on
the bench of the Court Of Common Pleas for
two terms of seven years each. Judge
Irwin removed to Pomeroy in 1885, where he
resided for twenty years, engaged. after leaV-
ing the bench, in the practice of his profes-
sion, and in horticultural pursuits of which
he was very fond.
In 1856 he retired from the practice of the
law, and purchasing an estate in Campbell
county, Kentucky, near Cincinnati, he de-
voted himself to its improvement, and to the
interests of his neigh borhood, exercising
there, as elsewhere, a generous transformations
hos ospitality.
From his father. clergyman of the highest
responsibility, he early mbibed decided re-
pugnance to the peculiar institution" Of his
native State, and when the South made its
atrocious attempt on the life of the nation,
that slavery might be established as the cor
ner stone of its system, he took firm stand
as Its uncompromising opponent. Surround
ed by Southern sympathizers, he boldly con-
fronted them on their own ground as Presi-
dent Of Union League, "neilher counting
his life dear to him. SO that.the cause of hu-
man liberty might prevail.
He lived to witness its triumph, and hav-
ing fulfilled the requirement of the Master
whom he served by "doing justly, loving mer-
cy, and walking humbly with his God," he
was gathered to his fathers, having the tes-
timony Of good conscience, in the commun-
ion of the Catholic Church in the confidence
of certain faith, in the comfort of q reason
able, religious, and holy hope, and in perfect
charity with the world.' P.
