The Protection of the Harbor of Superior.
From the Madison wis Journal, 18th.

From the Madison wis Journal, 18Th
Judge Orion introduced Joint resolution
into the assembly, on Friday suspendlng
the rule in relation to new business for the
purpose of admitting the introducing Of a
memcra! and bill relating to the destruc-
ton of Superior harbor.
A bill was subsequently introduced by
Mr. Vaughn, of Bayfield,, which was passed
by the Assembly. We copy the following
from it:
Section l. The Governor is hereby authorized
and directed inquire into and ascertain whether the
completion of the canal being constructed through
Minnesota Point will such diversion fthe
OF the St Louis river will seriously nure the
harbor of Superior City, the entrance thereto from
the lake. And if, in his opinion, the completion Of
said canal will such diversion and such injury
the said harbor the entrance thereto he is directed
to all necessary and proper means TO prevent the
completion OF said work And for that purpose he
suits to be instituted and employ such
sci to assist him in the prosecution OF the
to him proper and for the best interests of the
State.
The second section appropriates a sufiici-
ent sum to defray the expenses contemplate
ed in the preceding section not exceeding
five thousand dollars to be drawn on a GER
tihcate OF the Governor and Attorney Gen
eral as to the correctness of the account.
The diversion of lhe course of a river is
in plain violation Of law. To turn the cur
rent of a navigable river like the St. Louis,
and thus ruin a natural harbor and destroy
a city, is a wrong that should be resisted.
The Duluth people invested their money,
knowing that there was no good harbor
there; while the Superior people invested
their money because there was good har-
bOr on thp Wisconsin side If Is not fair.
it is not legal to destroy the Superior har-
Dor and all possible means should be taken
by the State to protect its citizens from the
injury that would follow should the citizens
of Minnesota transfer the mouth OF the riv
er to their own territory several miles west
of where it nowis.

A TRIP TO BASSWOOD lsLAND-Through
the kindness OF William Knight, Esq, we
took ride on the ice to the Ba>swood Is
land Quarry, a few days since, and was
surprised to note the Improvement made at
that place during the winter. Heretofore
the quarry has been worked under great
disadvantage, as the proper facilities for
getting out stone were lacking and having
to clear off the timber and the soil on the
surface, which averages about three feet,
building docks. ETC., caused the yield of
building stone to be comparatively small !;
but at present the facilities are complete
and no doubt the summer of 1871 will see
a much larger quantity Of this beautiful
brown stone, put into market than ever be-
fore. Since the close of navigation, two
immense derricks have been added max
ing four in all, two of which are worked by
horsepower, and the balance by hand. In
additon to drilling by hand, a steam drill
is to be operated, and will add greatly in
the progress of the work. A large surface
is prepared and tracks have been laid to
the main derrick from all parts of the quar-
ry, for the purpose of conveying the stone
on cars to the dock ready for shipment.
There are three lay ers of stone at least nine
feet through, with seams every twelve or
fourteen feet of white sand, which is of
Z eat advantage in quarrying it. The blocks
OF stone are got out in various sizes to suit
the order. The stone is said to be of far
better quality as the work progresses from
the shore. Many other items regarding the
quarry we fail to mention for want of space.
w are more than ever convinced that this
Island quarry is capable of supplying a vast
amount Of stone for an unlimited number
of years. We hope to be able to able 10
visit the quarry while the summer opera
tions are in progress, and transcribe in some
future article, more fully the interesting
method procuring and shipping the stone.
Mr.. Monahen, who has charge of the
work, is an experienced man in the busi-
ness, having been thus engaged some eigh-
teen years, in different quarrles. He in
forms us that Messrs. Strong, French &
Co. design employing about loo MN this
season. Their contract for the milwaukee,
Court House expires in October, and they
propose to meet the demand for stone re.
quired, to finish that beautiful structure

BEET SUGARIN WIsCoNSIN.--Beets sugar,
from this time ont, may be counted an inn
portant branch of manutac ture in Wiscon-
SIN. Hon. &. G. Kuntz, our Educational
Chairman. and an extensive farmer in the
town of Black Hawk, Sauk county, has just
shown us a fresh, fine sample of beet sugar
from the large manufactory adjoining his
farm. 1t equals and resembles the best
coffee sugar The factory is just complet-
ed at a cost Of $40 900, and is turning out
ten barrels OF sugar a day 200 acres of
sugar beets were grown last season, yield
inc from ten to fit, en- tons an acre. 1t IS
found that the yield Of saccharine matter is
from 10 to l3 per cent. in Sauk county,
while the average in Illinois is s per cent.
The company will have five hundred acres
of beets the coming season, from which is
counted product of GOO, 900 lbs. of sugar.
Mr. Kuntz informs us that there are over
500 beet sugar manufactures In France, 800
in Germany, $50 in Austria, and $50 in
Russia, and so on in Poland, Belgium, HoI-
land and Sweden. The yield in these coun-
tries is set down at $4,000 tons per annum.
Except in the seaboard towns, none other
than beet sugar is used. The per cent. of
yield in Sauk county equals the best in Eu-
rope. Our legislature, last winter, very
properly exempted beet sugar manufacto-
rles from taxation for five years. The sue
cess of the >auk county enterprise IS the
first to be chronicled in the State.-Racine

upon the sides which are exposed to thaw-
ing the better.

MAPLE SUGAR MAKING-Now is the time
to make maple syrup and sugar, and, there
tore, a few words OH the subject will not
be amiss. Wooden taps and buckets are
preferable to tin ones IN the drawing of sap,
for the reason that the latter will rust and
darken the sap. The more cleanliness and
care that Is exercised IN sugar-making, as
IN everything else, the more profitable and
better will be the sugar. Strain the sap in
to large copper pan, and when it is well
boiled but still thin, rain through a clean
cloth again into clean butter frkins which
have been scaded, and let it stand a day.
Of course, should there be any more sap on
hand, the pan could be used after the first
was out to boil it IN. The second day. af-
ter the pan is carefully washed out, pour
the syrup boiled first into it, and boil it
down almost to grained sugar, incessantlv
stirring and sklmmlng 1t during the whole
period OF boiling Then pour into the fir
klns and set aside until the warm days Of
May. Then place into a barrel or tirkin
with three or four augur holes, and set it
upon tub to drain. Each morning. for
three weeks, lay clean linen clothes N the
top OF the sugar pressing tightly down, so
that not a particle will be LETT uncovered.
About a gallon of syrup will, at the end of
that time, have drained from fifty pounds
OF sugar, and the sugar Itself will be of
high quality and Of a crystalline whiteness
To make the syrup INTO cakes the sap is
boiled to greater consistency than for
grained sugar, and must be stirred con-
stantly. New mllk is used by some manu-
facturers to whlen the sugar Their plan
Is, after the syrup is put on to boil second
time, just when it has reached the boiling
point, to turn in a large coffee cup Of new
milk. A thick scum will soon rise to tie
top, and this IS strained off at once, for if
left to boil it will darken rather than whu-
Ell the sugar. Many farmers may have dif-
terent appliances than those me0,ioned Tor
the making OF their sugar and syrup. which
may be more convenient and HANDY to
them, and to these it may be sid that the
great deS1deratttna III sugar making IS clean
lHess. The sap should be strained and
the syrup should be strained, and no sedi-
ment allowed to enter into the proc,s SIS of
manufacture.

WHAT GIRLS SHOULD DRINK-Dr. Do
Lewis, in his book, sour Girls" says:
| am astonished that young woman
who is ambitious of clear fine skin.
should drink tea. 1t is great enemy to
far compilations. Wine, coffee, and cocoa
may be used without tinging the skin; but
as soon as tea-drinking becomes a regular
habit the eye of the discriminating observer
detects it in the skin.
Tea compromises the complexion, proba-
bly,. by deranging the liver. Weak tea or
coffee may be used occasionally, in moder-
ate quantities, without noticeable harm; but
| advise ali young women who would pre-
serve a soft, clear skin and quiet nerves, to
avoid all drinks but cold water. 1t is an
excellent plan to drink one or two glasses
of cold water on lying down at night, and
on rising in the morning. Ifyou have good
teeth, and can help the food into your
stomach without using any food except the
saliva, it will, in the long run, contribute
much to your health.

WASHINGTON. February 6.-Thc most
important event in Congress today was me ne,
test vote in the House on the Senate bull
Incorporating the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company and granting it the usual land
subsidy. Its friends moved a retcrcnc" OF
the bill TO the Committee on Pacific Railroads
with instructions to report it back on any
day after the fifteenth of February. which
was carried by more than tw"-thirds vote.
Many of the Republicans and Democratic
members who have opposed further land
subsidies, voted for this bill on the ground
that a. the Northern and Central overland
roads had been magniticcntly endowed by
Congress. it WAS simple justice that the
South should have road The bill pro
vide, for land grant of twenty alternate
section. to the mile Oh both side, of the
road in the territories of New MeNlc" ana
Arizona. and ten alternate sections to the
mile in California. There is no land grant
in Texas. The road is to run from l.! l':is'
