SUGAR MAKING.

SBOAh WA
We have been handed a pamph.
let upon the above subject which
relates the discovery Of q new
method Of making sugar from the
beet, The inventor of the method
and author of the pamphlet is c. S.
Schuzenbach, Germany, who died
last year.
This matter, II properly carried
out, may possess a mighty interest
to this portion Of the South whose
staple is cotton only. 1t is well
known, or should be, that there
must be some limit to the quantity
Of cotton produced Or there will DO
no limit hardly to the decrease Of
price.
Now If this branch Of industry,
making Of sugar from the beet, can
be introduced successfully among
us, 1t may be the means Of adding
to individual and national wealth
in respect to the sugar production,
aud to the value of the guaged sup.
ply Of the crop of cotton.
We earnestly urge upon our peo.
pie, and hope the Press will urge it,
that they diversity their crops. The
principle Is q true one and, perhaps,
the only successful one. We shall
be certain to raise a plenty of cot.
ton for oil proper demands in any
event but If We do not diversity
the crops we shall be apt to raise
too much.
1t Is because Of these views that
VIC urge this matter Of beet sugar
making upon our people, and for
the same reason We have urged the
culture of the castor plant, the
ramie, broom corn, sumac, etc.
We shall continue to urge sucf
matters, so long as VIC do our duty
to the people.
The making Of sugar from beet'
has long been known, but thi'
method OF Mr.. Schuzonbach Is in
tended 10 perform tho work more
chcaply, aud TO save the residue
after the sugar Is extracted, fol
food for cattle and for manure.
The bects are first dried, then
graduated, and then the sugar II
extracted by use of alcohol, which
is cvapOrated, saved and again
used.
The whole cost of an establish.
ment in Germany, ofa %manufactory
capable Of producing a thousand
tons Of sugar each year, Is $4,000
1t consists of an establishment fol
drying and cutting tho beets;
magazine for preserving them wheI
dried ; a separate room or building
TO prepare the grains for the OK
traction of the sugar from them
and for separating the alcohol from
the extract; q building provided
with the usual arrangements o
candis, and other stufFs, sugar re
CeiVers, &c, in proportion to tn,
amount Of business to be proseCut
ed.
Tho cost of producing the suga.
is about IL centS per lb. Five Il
six cwt ofgreen beets, will producr
one cwt of dried substance, which
containing, when refined, 81 to g
per cent. of pure sugar. The cleaI
profit of this method of suga,
making, is eStimatsd at $3.50 pc
ton.
The introduction Of this new
system will contribute powerfull!
to inVigorate agriculture and en-
nance the value Of land 1t can, b.
expectation ofits products, becOml
a source of great wealth for tn,
:. whole country, and finally, 1t viii
be q natural and particular dOmoS

church, Rev. John Love, Jr., who Is one OF the
youngest ministers in the city, is gifted
with considerable power of eloquence and
promises with some experience to prove
one of our most effective and popular pulpit
orators The subject OF his discourse yesterday
was stumbling Blocks, the text selected being
from Isaiah-"Take up the stumbling blocks out Of
the way OF my people, In all ages, the preacher
said truth has had Its opponents, and an endless
conflict had been wa.cd against all that was good
and noble and true. Enmity towards the Divine
government and rebellion against Its claims had
ever characterized men. The peinful scenes OF
Eden had been reproduced in each succeeding age.
In reading the history OF the Church the treasury of
truth found that at all times heresies and errors
had prevailed AS in earlier times Arianism raised
its scorpion mead and sought the destruction of Gods
true Church. SO In later times; later the Papacy

One Of the prettiest churches In the city Is st.
Ann's Catholic church, IN Eighth street, ana the
fame of its PASTOR Father Preston has rendered 1t
celebrated throughout the city, There Is an air of
sanctity about 1t which impresses all who enter It
with u feeling OF devotion and raises the heart to
God. The decorations, though rich in character are
by no means gaudy. The music too, Is oil q sweet,
solemn nature, fully realizing the idea that 1t Is
meant as a homage to the Divine Being and not, as
In otner Catholic churches, intended to draw large
congregations to enhance the services by its artis
tic excellence.
The services yesterday at the halfpast ten mass
were celebrated by the Rev. Father Poele, and the
sermon was preached by the worthy 'pastor. He
took his text from the Gospel OF the day, com.
mencing:-"At that time Jesus said to His disciples,
amen, amen, | say to you, If YOU ask my Father
anything in my name, He will give it you. Hitherto
He spoke OF the disbelief OF those outside the

The morning service yesterday at this church,
situated at the corner OF West Eleventh street and
Waverley place, was attended by large and lash
ionable congregation The solemnty of the occas on
was greatly enhanced BY The splendid weather that
prevailed; and the glorious rays OF light, as they
poured through the coored glass OF the windows,
impaired sentiment OF holiness to the scene.
Although the congregation was highly fashionable,
1t must not be Inferred that the church was invaded
by grand display Of religious aristocratc grandeur
and pomp. The ladies were not behind the times in
their display OF elegant and good dress; but IL was
evidently not intended that the love for dress should
IN any manner supersede the duty that all men owe
10 tne creator. The holy principles instiled by the
fourth commandment were visible through.

The full reports of Sunday sermons published in
the HERALD seem to have proper effect both on
pastors and congregations; for while the latter were
numerous, devout and attentive yesterday the
former were unusually sharp ana pointed in their
spiritual aIlusions to the live topics or the hour.
Rarely has religious fervor been more demonstratve,
and seldom have metropolitan divines acquitted
themselves In the pulpit with more credit to them
selves and profit to their hearers The beautiful May
day drew out large congregations, who gave practf.
col evidence that the wearing Of purple and fine
linen is not always bar to religious enthusiasm.
