. CLARIFICATION OF JUICE

. QUALIFICATION OF JUICE
This is mainly effected with common
lime only, the use of the B~i-sulphite of lime
being rare.
USE OF CHARCOAL.
The filters are filled with animal char
coal which is covered with the best and
eottest fresh water procurable.
Syrup is first passed through them for
"a hours afterwards the Juice from the cla-
rifiers is sent through them for a like peri
cd.
The cffete charcoal is revivifed by wash
ing in pure fresh water, and subsequent re-
burning in furnaces especially constructed
for that purpose.
The absolute loss of charcoal is estimated
from - to IA Id. pr. Ton of sugar. The
cost of charcoal pr. Ton OF sugar, including
cost of labour engaged in washing and
other work and expenses for passing Juice
and syrup through the charcoal and other
contingencies is about six pence pr. cwt.
The use Of Bi-sulphite of lime is estima-
ted in Demerara to cost about the same
sum pr. cwt.
An almost inexhaustible supply of pure
fresh water is indispensable for washing the
charcoal, water charged with earthly or sa-
line matter will not suit, as the absorption
of these by the charcoal is not rectifed by
the ReviviicatiOn process.
RUM AND STILLS.
We were much struck with the dfstillery
process and apparatus and the superior qua
lily of the Rum manufactured at the Usines.
The stills are worked by steam, with con-
tinuous action, and a very pure spirit with
out any favour of acetic ether (proof-
strength is obtained more resembling COM
mon Eau-de-Vie than Rum in, appearance
and favour. The average return. we were
informed was one Pun. pr. Ton Of Sugar.
ADVANCES.
Most Usines, we were informed, both in
Guadeloupe and Martinique make advan-
ces to their contributory Estates to assist
the clearance and opening up of waste land
as we'll as for the purchase of manures and
stock. These advances are deducted from
the next crop, and are made with a liberal
hand. for instance the advances made this
year by the Usine D'Arboussier amounted
10 100000. These advances without
doubt have led to the great increase of cane
cultivation in these Islands, and reaches of
country uncultivated for years have be-
come weighted with Sugar Canes. The
advantage to all classes is manifest, Villa

Mr.. Charles Phelps, in his house, at the corner Of
Thirty ninth street and Sixth avenue appeared be.
fore Justice Ledwith at the Jefferson Market Police
Court, yesterday, and demanded an examination
for their client who has been locked up for the past
six weeks, awaiting Mr. Phelps convaescence.
Detective Mcconnell, Of the Twentieth pre-
cinct, presented certificate from Mr..
Phelps' physician, which stated that the
injured man was at present unable to leave his
house, as his nervous system had been completely
shattered by the trying ordeal he had been through
and he was of the opinion it would take at least
two weeks for him to sufficiently to be able
to appear at Court and prefer complaint against
the prisoner. The bali fired from the pistol has
not yet been extracted from Mr.. Phelps body.
Justice Ledwith, upon receiving the certificate,
concluded not to act in the matter until Mr. Phelps
had sufficiently recovered to appear and prefer
complaint against Thompson.

Tine hoard OF Supervisors and the Clean

Justices Clerks.
An executive session Of the Board OF Supervisors
was held yesterday In the clerks Office for the pur-
pose OF considering, among other things the pres
ent condition OF the Court House and the appoint
menu OF scrubbers, cleaners and Janitors for the
cleansing thereof 1t was understood at the close
OF the meeting that at the session OF the Board
tomorrow certain recommendations OF appoint
ments VIII be made, and that the Board will take
upon itself the maintenance OF the Court House, and
tnat the present very disgraceful condition OF tho
building Will not continue for more than few va
Inc scruooers and cleaners recently discharged are
sun Without their pay. Nearly ten months salary
Is uue' put not dollar has yet been received. The
Audlting Bureau state that they have not vet re-
ceived any pay ron from the Court House Commits
When That pay roll Is delivered and Is found to be
properly attested, all honest claims viii be paid to
the uttermost cent. The Court House Commits
sOners clalm however, that the practice OF paving
the pay roll by the Comptroller Is an innovation by
Mr.. Green that under the former dispensati0n the
amount appropriated for Court House cleaning was
paid them In lump sum, ana they were responsi-
bic for the discharge OF the pay roll Mr. Green pre-
fers paying the roll himself and thus, between the
Two contendlng parties, men and women who have
worked hard and honestly for their money are left
for ten months unpaid. The clerks OF the Police
Justices are becoming very FESTIVE whenever they
approach the Department OF Finance consequent
upon what they allege is gross injustice perpe-
trated upon them by the Comptroller. With Ohe
exception, all these clerks have not received one
cent OF their salary for ten months. The difficulty
Is as follows:-The former Common Council doubled
the salary OF both Judges and Clerks. The Comp
troer contends that the increase has not received
q legal sanction by the Legislature He therefore
declines to pay the increased salary. The clerks
are willing that the Comptroller should pay to them
the salary at the same rate that 1t before the in
crease but that they shall give receipt that shall
not be bar to their recovery OF the increase should
the Legislature legalize 1t. This the Comptroller
refuses to do, but requires that receipt shall be
given that will prejudice them from making any
further claim against the city. As the payment
liability that 1t has now 1t seems strange that the
Comptroller does not assent to the payment OF that
upon which himself and the clerks are agreed IL due
to them; for should q judgment OF q law court
be obtained for the payment of the entire claim
interest would have to be paid and the city would
be loser to That extent for the nOn-payment. In
the meantime there Is considerable feeling about
the matter and class OF useful men are necessa-
rily undergoing needless suffering.

strength on the sudden scarcity Of cash gold in the

as high as 1-16 per cent for the use OF the coin
wherewith to make their deliveries But ON the ap-
