A Lump of Brown Sugar.

Do you ever eat brown sugar because it
is cheaper?" Ifyou do, buy microscope
and examine lump of the next you take
home. "Astonishment" will be hardly
the word to express the feelings you will
have at then result. Lest you may not get
the microscope, allow us to describe what
you will see. Under a'powerful glass there
will be seen myriads of horrible monsters
as large as beetles, and having the appear
ance of crabs. -Four dreadful legs, with
claw-pincers at the ends of them, jointed
in four parts as with armor and bristling
with sharp-pointed spears, are in front of
the monster, and his head has a long pyr
amidal form in two joints, with five finger
tips at the terminus where the mouth
should be. The body is ovalshaped, and
marked almost exactly like that of crab,
only upon the rims of an inner circle upon
the back there are twelve more of those
long, sharp spears, with two at the tail,
and four snake-like tenacula, exceedingly
fine in the articulation, and no doupt intend
ed, like puss's whiskers, to be feelers, to
warn it of danger. The reverse side shows
the ugliness of the beast even more than
the diverse, but it also shows the wonder
full mechanical genius of the maker of it
Each limb is padded with mass of mus
cles at the base of it, which gives the i'm
preston of immense power, and over the
muscle there is a case of armor through
which it shows. These creatures are eager
restive, and ravenous; always falling foul
of each other, or attacking great clumps of
sugar, as large in reality as a mathematical
point. With the pincers attached TO tie
end of each proboscis they take hold of and
tear each other, repeating in there small
way the enormous tragedies of Tennyson's
primal monsters. A spoonful of this raw,
coarse sugar was dissolved in about three
times its quantity of water, when, as with
a conjuror's rod, animalcules sprang to the
surface and floated there, swimming about
and up and down, like the beasts that wrig-
gle in soft water tubs, and finally turn into
mosquitoes. They can be seen with tie
naked eye, but not in their entire hideous-
ness. 1t has been proved that in every
pound of unrefined raw sugar there are
hundred thousand of these acari.-Bee

THE attention of the musical world

THE attention of the musical world has
been much attracted by the improvements in
organ-making introduced by GEORGE WOODS
& Co., in their NEW STYLES of ParlOr and
Vestry Organs. They invite the attention of
all interested in music, and the elevation of
all that pertains to it, to their advertisement
in another column. All organists, teachers
and music dealers are invited to examine into
the merits of their instruments, particularly
as shown in their latest style of NUMBER
THIRTEEN CELESTE ORGAN.

More than quarter of a million of
females died of consumption in England
and Wales, says the British Medical Jour
nal, during the decade 1S51-1S60 In re
gard to the geographical distribution of
disease, it is stated that in those districts
where consumption most prevails, heart
disease causes the fewest deaths; while,
where there is the highest mortality from
sumption.

NOT FLATTERING.

A scene occurred at New York the
other day that did not give occasion for
much Yankee-doodle and spread-eagle-
ism. 1t is thus referred to by the New
York Commercial Advertiser: Our noble
bay presented on Saturday remarkably
brilliant and lively aspect. No less
than seven large European steamships
went to sea during the day. The event
was enlivened by the departure to Eu-
rope of bodies of Knights Templar and
Masons, and several notables in the
political and theatrical world, who
were accompanied down the bay by
their friends in river boats, decorated
with flags and streamers. God
speeds" we're emphasized by small
cannon, which kept up an irregular fire
through the afternoon. 1t was a very
cheering sight, and one which could only
be seen in New York. But to Ameri-
cans there was a sad drawback, Of all
those gallant vessels, bearing away their
friends across the Atlantic, not one car
ried the American flag There was the
trieolor of France, the meteor flag Of
England, and the black eagle of Ger
many, but not one solitary national flag
to show that we owned a plank in the
beautiful feet leaving the chief port of
America.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Among the many acts of kindness
extended to the proprietor of the PUBLIC
LEDGER and lady, during their recent
visit to Saginaw, they desire to acknowl-
edge especially those of Judge Lowry,
his excellent lady, their charming daugh-
ter, Miss Anna, and Miss Lizzie Evans.
Their hospitable attentions will not soon
be forgotten. To find friends when you
expected nothing but the coldness of
strange faces, and the kindest hospitality
when you had no right to expect any
thing beyond civility, is decidedly
pleasant to the traveller. They will
long remember the cheerful mansion Of
Judge Lowry and its excellent inmates.

Reception TO Captain Hall-Mext-

New YORK, June IA. Hon. ]. NJ.
Francis, editor of the Troy Times, re-
Gently appointed Minister to Greece,
sailed from this port yesterday with his
family, in the steamer Holsatia.
AT regular monthly meeting of the
American Geographical Society last
evening, the chairman announced that
the Society proposed to give Captain
Hall a public reception before starting
for the North Pole. He said there was
a gentleman present, NJ. Pavoi, who in
tended to make the voyage to the North
Pole at his own expense. He would
proceed from New York to San Fran
cisco and thence to Siberia. He pro-
poses to 90 out in boat Of peculiar
construction and travel on the ice.
A New York special to the Herald
from San Felipe, Mexico, via Indianola,
Texas, June 18th, says the revolution in
Guerrero continues, but exhibits signs of
weakness. A strong position held by
the insurgents has been captured by the
Government forces after a sharp con-
liict. The bombardment of Tampeco
by the Government batteries continues
with undated fury. The insurgents
within the city are greatly terrified. All
their guns are silenced, and a capitula-
zion is imminent.

PROBABLE ALLIANCE.

We have a piece of gossip from Eng
land that is quite refreshing. 1t is
nothing less than an alliance between
the houses of Victoria aud Grant, by
the marriage Of young Grant and the
Princess Beatrice One of the Queen S
daughters has married a subject, and
why may not another marry an Ameri-
can2 1t is said that this project is seri-
ously talked OF, and that it originated
with the Queen herself. The Long
Branch Barkis is, no doubt, willing, as,
so the story goes, young Grant will then
be loaded down with titles, stars and
garters, and be put over the Canadians.
When this is accomplished the first step
will have been taken toward royalty
and monarchy in America. If the
young Grant who stood thirty-seventh
in his class the other day at the exami-
nation at West Point be the chap des-
tined to the embraces and honors of
royalty, all we can say is that in the
palace much intellect is not expected.

Germans, to be utterly hopeless.

Cotton Estimates.


WASHINGTON, June IA careful es-
innate of the cotton crop this year
places the total number of acres as low
as one million nine hundred thousand.
Another estimate places it at one million
acress Texas is not estimated in either
of the above. In North Carolina the
falling off in cotton planting reaches Is
per cent; the weather has been cold,
wet and unfavorable, and the cotton is
unusually poor. South Carolina has
20 per cent. less cotton under cultiva-
ton this year than last; the crops
are very inferior and unpronising
Georgia decreases the acreage about
10 per cent. this year. Missis-
sippi decreases about IL per cent,
with the weather unusually favorable.
Arkansas decreases about. the same.
Louisiana decreases the acreage 10 per
cent; here the weather is more favorable
than in other Southern States, but the
prospects for cotton are not very, hatter-
ing.
The result of the late examination at
the Naval Academy has been TO put

At noon to-day, while the ferryboat
Excelsior was floating off the dry docks
at the navy yard, the two lower sections
of the docks commenced sinking rapidly,
Notwithstanding the efforts of the pump
ing machinery on the middle sections.
At this point the river is over one hun
dred feet deep, and the leaky sections
soon disappeared beneath the surface.
The steam tugs Of the coal companies
and the Little Alps rushed to the rescue
and commenced graphing the sunken
sections to keep them from floating
away or going to the bottom. The ut
most excitement was created among the
workmen. Barges we're foated in be-
tween the sections and the river bank
to act as caissons or floats for the sec
tons. 1t is probable that the barges
and tugs will be able to save the sunken
docks and raise them before night.

In allusion to his speech at Yieksburg he
said he did not say he trusted that the
time would come when we Of the North
would honor Lee and Stonewall Jackson
as we honor Grant and Sherman, but he
hoped the time would come when all
Americans, North and South, win feel a
Just pride in the military character and
achievements of Lee and Stonewall
Jackson, just as we of the North now
take a pride in Grant and Sherman and
Thomas.
