BEET SUGAR.-We are greatly pleased
to observe, that Notwithstanding early
discouragements in the manufacture o
beet sugar at Chatsworth, Illinois, it a
last promises to be great success.
This change is said to be owing to put
ting at the head Of the establishment one
of our best practical farmers and horticul
tnrists, Jonathan Perism. He has sub
stituted machinery for hand labor, saving
in the field work about thirty per cent.
and contemplates other changes which will
save IN other departments about twenty
per cent,
His management is such. that the beet;
are put into a pit at So 70 per ton, az
against S4, the lowest price at the Euro
pean factories.
The first yield of sugar from the factory
has been put on the market at Chicago
without brand, and was pronounced fully
equal TO A New York sugar, and
brought the same price.
1t would appear to be now settled, tha
sugar from beet can be successfully mad
in The United states. A great stand poin
has been reached, and we cordially wei
come the introduction of another American
Industry. from forty to fifty tons o.

Mules Fer FARM Work There is a
growing interest among farmers in the
Northern States in the subject of substitute
ing mules for horses, for the ordinary work
of the farm and road 1t seems to be
universally conceded that they are much
less subjected to disease and letter able to
withstand the extremes of heat and cold
than horses are. Their feet and legs are
especially tough, and lame mule is a
rarity. Another idea common about them,
but which if erroneous, is that they REQUIRE
only scant rations of poor food and that
they need but little care. 1t is true that
they will keep alive on wonderfully little
TODD: and that for the nobler animals {.
but not even mule can make brick with.

muscular actions involves destruction of
muscular tissue, and the loss must be sup
Piled by the products of digestion. We
have known mule to eat spoke out O
the wheel OF an army wagon and to make
up for the want of forage by diet Of
fence rails, but he didn't grow fat on it and
was very likely, after few DAYS of such
regimen, TO find his last resting place in
ditch beside the road.
Ii any farmer thinks to circumvent the
laws of nature by getting a mule to do
hard work on diet of bulrushes and rye
straw, he will miss his calculation. But
II, on the contrary, he will deal out corn
with liberal hand, he can get an aston

There is widespread belief that mules
are stubborn and vicious, and our apricul-
tural friend, Josh Bollings, has almost
immortalized every bad habit that q mnle
can have. Probably these LONG cared
friends have rather more capacity in the
direction Of /" mulishness and viciousness
than have most ofo other domestic ami

Mark Twain on Juvenile Pugil
lists.

We find in the Buffalo EfpreSS of the
2Sth inst. the following psternal objuga-
uons of Mark Twain:
Yes, I've had good many fights in
my time" said old John Parky. tenderly
manipulating his dismantled nose, land
It's kind of queer, too. for when l was
boy the old man was always telling me
better. He was a good man, and hated
fighting. When I would come home with
my nose bleeding or with my face scratch
ed up, be used to call me out in the wood
shed, and in a sorrowful and discouraged
way say: so Johnny, you've had another
fight, hey? How many times have | got
to tell We how disyraceful and wicked it
IS for boys to fight? 1t was only yester-
day that l talked to you an hour about
the ain of fighting, snd here you've been
at it again, Who was it with this time !?
With Timothy Kelly. hey? Don't you
know any better than TO fight boy that
weighs twenty pounds more than you do,
besides being two years older? Amt ye
got spark Of sense about ye? can see
pla inly that you are determined to break
your poor fa'ber's heart by your reckless
conduct. What ails your finger? Tim

We know enough to keep your finger out
of his mouth Was trying to yerk his
cheek eff, hey; Won't ye naver learn to

by sech wretchsd behavior. You're de-
termined never to be nobody. Did you
ever bear of Isaac Wntts-thaL wrote Let
dogs delight to bark and bite'-sticking

ye. Why dn't We go for bis nose, the
way Jonathan Edwards. and George
Washington, and D.nl Webster used to
when they was boys? Couldn'f, cause
he had ye down! That's purity story to
tel me. 1t does beat all that you can't
learn how Socrates and William Penn used
to gouge when they was under. after the
hours and hours I've spent in telling you
about those great men 1t seems to me
sometimes as if I should have
to give you up in despair. It's an
awful trial to me to have a boy that
don't pay any attention to good example
nor to what say. What you pulled out
three or four handfuls of his hair HIM!
Did he squirm any? Now, ifyou'd give
him one or two in the eye-but as I've
told ye many time, fighting is poor bust
ness. Won't you for your fathers sake
won't you promise to try and remember
that HIM Johnny how did it-ahem-

lars Now, sonny, go right in and wash
up: and tell yer mother to put rag on

reached the bottom, as it was thought,
before the well caved in, filing up to q
few feet of the top. The alarm was given

they saw Mr.. Andrews emerging from

time to make his escape, he slipped under
the boards, which he had laid across the
well, when the whole thing fell in upon

In the incredibly short time of seven hours

is one of the narrowest hair-breadth es
