Near tho middle OF du1I dismal afternoon,
come eleven weeks later than the date Of the
preceding events, the good ship Flying CtiI,lers
drew near to the island Of DesOlatlOn, snap
ing her course toward it's northcrnn1ost bay,
called by Captain Cook Christmas lfarbor.
A fair breeze WAS blowing from the north,
and the ship was carrying every stitch Of her
canvas, including studding sails.
Her crew-bOth Watches were busy about
the deck, and hor passcngcrs---a score in num-
ber-had gathered in groups, mostly forward,
and were gazing with great. interest upon the
wild, rugged shores before them, 50 tar AZ the
fog suspended upon those shores permitted
them to become visible.
The ship had come hero for water, nearly all
her water casks having been stove or started
during squat ten days previously, and very

and, on reflection, I believe that You
are right believe that have killed
yon; but, have taken my oath that,
if God will forgive me for having un-
Intentionally murdered you, will new
or murder another. will never give
another dose of ply sic professionally

oath; he at once quit medicine entire

Cheap Sugar from Corn.


The Davenport Iowa) Gazette saws
that Mr.. H. &. Weinert has made q
discovery whereby sugar can be pro
duced from corn, and afforded to the
purchaser at l-S cents per pound. It
says:
Some effect or other that he had no.
ticed of certain chemicals used in his
trade upon the potato led him to be-
lieve that sugar might be obtained
from this esculent, and, after the de-
struction of his tannery, he commenced
experimenting with that end in view.
He found the sugar in it, and also
found that it's production from that
source could not be made profitable.
| He went to work with corn, and 80
devotedly that he became very poor,
consuming his means until he used up
everything but his little homestead.
One of our citizens stepped in, told
him to go ON and held him up. Re-
Gently lie made his discovery and made
it known to lis friends.
It is sugar that will be in demand by
confectioners, wine-makers and brew.
ers, but will not be popular for table
use until after further experimenting
This discovery will doubtless work
revolution in the use of sweetening il
those occupations.
| DR.. Weinert says that with corn a
forty cents bushel this sugar can b.
delivered to purchasers at the factor,
for three and half cents per pound
White corn is better than yellow in thi
business, because there is. no color. t.
be removed.
OF course Mr.. Weinert keeps the sc
cret of the production to him self; bu
some of our best citizens are going t
furnish capital with which to erec
works. The building and machiner
will cost about SO, 600, and the ventur
} will be made with capital of fro,
$4,000 to $4,000. A stock compan
will be called for in few days, with
capital of IS, 900. There is no dout
that it will be success.
In lesa than ten years from now til
corn fields of the West will be supply
ing half the nation with sugar. Cor
, sugar will be to this country what be-
sugar is to Frances blessing to th
people ct large.

The Coral Trade.

We find the following interesting
facts concerning the traffic in coral in
the Pail Mall Gazette:
"Coral is found in more or less
abundance along the coast Of Regency
OF Tunis, Algeria, and the Mediterra.
mean shores of Morocco, as we'll as in
the neighborhood Ct Sardinia, Naples,
Leghorn and Geneva, and the coasts of
Catalonia and Provence. Between
Bona and Biserta there are certain
banks rich in the product, which are
regularly frequented by the coral boats.
There are also many other banks well
known to the fisherermen at from fifteen
to twenty miles from mainland, but
those furnishing the best quality of
coral are off the Island of Galita. Il
and never on those lying on sandy and
clear bottoms. The coral found ON the
Barbary coast is principally red, but
black and white, a. we'll as the much.
priced pink, also exist. The latter
kind is more frequently obtained on
the Galita aud Fratelli rock banks. The
price of coral varies from lbs. FL lis.
the pound; but the light pink or rose
colored coral, being extremely scarce
and in demand, is often sold for fifty
times its weight in gold. Coral is chiefly
worked into articles of jewelry and
beads at Terre del Greco, Leghorn and
Genoa. Formerly Marseilles was a cen
ter Tor its manufacture, but now not
more than three hundred or four hun.
dred workmen are employed ON it at
that port. Europe takes comparatively
u small share of the usual supply of
coral, the South American States, the
interior of Africa, the East Indies,
China and Japan being the best markets
for it. The dredge of which coral is
collected is formed of two pieces OF
olive wood, each about six and one half
feet long, firmly nailed and dashed to
gether, cr0sswise, weight, generally q
stone of fifteen or twenty pounds, be.
ing attached to the point OF juncture.
The crosswoods are suspended with a
kind OF net made Of hempen ropes, ap-
parently unraveled, and forming
punches resembling ship swabs. From
sixteen to twenty of these nets hang
round the woodwork. four or five others
being attached to q long rope trailing
from the center weight, while third
rope with nets is fixed to one of the ex
| tremities of the cross. The tow-line is
tied to the center Of the dredge, which
is dragged along the bottom Of the sea,
the boat being under oars or sail. Whel
the dredge is felt to have become fixet
to rock the boat is brought imme
diately over the spot, and the dredge il
hauled up to a certain height, by hant
in the small and by capstan on the larg'
craft, and then allowed to fall again O,
the rock, aud so until it is perceived
that the nets and cordage have los
their hold, when the whole apparatu
is drawn on board and cleared of what
ever pieces of coral may have broken Of
the rock and became entangled in it.

The Dance or Death.

The telegraph briefly mentioned the
fact that Justin and Mary Mcnamara
fell from roof in Delaney street, New
York and were dangerously injured.
The roof was IS feet high, and the pair
went over together. It seemed that
they had mounted the roof to escape
the heat below. A German band in a
nelghboring saloon struck up lively
air, and the wife proposed a waltz.
The husband readily acquiesced but
the waltz was hardly commenced when
the wife became dizzy and fell. The
husband endevored to save her and be.
same entangled in her dress, when the
two fell to the ground below. 1t was
in truth the dance of death.
