A Hint to the Farmers.

One report of the Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics shows that the imports of
sugars, 1872, amounted to $50, 900, 900.
Apropos of the present plethora of the
grain in the West, the sugar import as
compared with the sale of the bread
stuffs exports, amounting to only $685.
$1,000, presents a suggestive hint.
There is no good reason why this coun-
try should depend upon foreign coun-
tries for sugar any more than bread
stuffs. Farmers might cultivate beet
sugar on a large scale. In 1867 the
breadstuffs sent abroad were not suffi-
cient by almost $34, 000,0 900 to pay for
the sugar and molasses imported. The
farmers located in the valley of the Mis-
sissippi, thousand miles from either
ocean, who cannot sell enough of their
grain to pay for the "sweet" they use
on account of the high freights, can be-
come independent of the foreign markets
in this respect by raising sugar beets,
which are well adapted to the rich
prairie soils of the West. Beet sugar
has been raised very successfully in
Illinois and other States where it has
been given fair trial 1t is very pro.
ductive crop, and always finds market
Mt remunerative prices.

4 Campaign Sermon.

AS an illustration of the temper of the
American pulpit of Mr.. Jefferson's day,
Mr.. Parton tells this story of DR.. John
Mason, who was then the sensational
preacher of New York An interesting
character was this DR.. Mason, if we may
believe the anecdote still told of him by
old inhabitants of New York. What a
scene must that have been when he
paused in the midst. of one of his rous-
ing Fast Day sermons, and raised his
eyes and hands to heaven, burst into
impassioned supplication "Send us if
Thou wilt, murrain upon our cattle, a
famine i'll our land, cleanness of teeth
in our borders send us pestilence to
waste our cities; send us if it please
Thee the sword to battle itselfin the blood
of our souls; but spare us, Lord God
most merciful, spare us that curse
most dreadful of all curses-an alliance
with Napoleon Bonaparte." An eye
witness reports that as the preacher ut
tered these words, with all the energy
of frantic apprehension, the blood
gushed from his nostrils. He put his
handkerchief to his face without know
ing what he did, and, instantly resuming
his gesture, held the bloody handker-
chief aloft, as if it were the symbol OF
the horrors aforesaid. To such point,
in those simple old days, could cam
paign falsehood madden able and good
men

A Maine Mans Encounter.

The Bangor (Me.) Wing gives the
following account of the way i'll which a
citizen of that State encountered and
slew bear: "Mr. j. Darling, of
Lowell was coming from the head of
Nicatowas Lake, on the 18th inst, in
his canoe, having been on tour to OBJ
tain bark for canoe building, and when
about two miles below the Narrows he
saw large animal swimming midway
between the two shores. Changing his
course, he soon came up within hailing
distance, and found that the animal was
a large black bear. His canoe was
loaded with bark, and the waves were
running high, which, taken with the fact
that one barrel of his gun was loaded
with fine shot, and the other with a
ball, while the remainder of his ammu-
milton was in the bow of the canoe under
the bark, made his chances for securing
the bear small. He now saw that a
small island lay little distance off, and
thither he turned the course of the
beast When within twenty feet of the
islands shore, Mr.. Darling fired at him
with the barrel loaded with ball,
which took effect in the neck, killing
him dead. He had some trouble in
getting him on shore, as he weighed
nearly 500 pounds. The stomach OF
the bear being opel.ed, showed that his
diet had been strawberries, honey comb,
blueberries, ants, grass, and weeds.

That Danbury Husband In Trouble
Again.

When a woman puts three mackerel
to soak overnight III n dish-pan whose
sides are eight inches high, and leaves
the pan on a stairway, she has accom-
plished her mission and should GO
hence. This was what Division street
woman did Friday night. Filled the
pan at the pump, and then left it stand
ing on the steps to the stoop, while she
went into the next house to see how
many buttons would be required to go
down the front of a redingote. And a
mighty important affair that was, to be
sure. And there was her husband tear
ing through the house in search of
handkerchief, and not finding it of
course. And then he rushed out into
the yard, wondering where on earth that
woman could be, and started down the
steps without seeing the pan, or even
dreaming that any one could be so
idiotic as to leave it there. OF course
he stepped on it or, at least, that is the
supposition, as the neighbors who were
brought out by the crash that followed
saw Mortified man, and high dish
pan, and three very demoralized mack
erel shooting across the garden, and
smashing down the shrubbery. And
he was "A nice sight, was that unhappy
man, when they got him on his feet.
There wasn't dry thread on him, and
his hair was full of bits of mackerel,
and one of his shoulders was out of
Joint, and his coat WAS split the whole
length of the back, and he appeared to
be out of his head. He was carried in
the house by some of the men, and laid
on bed, while others went after doc
tor, and sixteen women assembled i'll
the front room, and talked in whispers
about the inscrutable ways of Provi-
dence, and what a warning this was to
people who never looked where they
were going. -DdnbuvV NeaOs.

The Peabody Educational Fund.

The trustees of the fund which the
late George Peabody established to adj
vance the educational interests of the
South was held in New York few days
ago. In his annual report, DR.. Sears
represents the general condition of the
public schools in the Southern States as
not discouraging, though they are yet
far from being placed on permanent
basis. The best schools were to be
found where the citizens of each locality
came to the aid of the State and
adopted them as their own, contributing
literally to their support. We CLEAN
from the report that i'll Virginia the
number of public schools for the
year ending Aug. /, 1872, was 1866 ;
the school population, consisting
of persons between five and twenty-one
years of age, was All, 021. OF this
number DAT 900 were white, and LA, 019
colored. The average cost of tuition
per month is seventy cents, and the
average daily attendance is %, 4SS. The
whole number of pupils attending them
20, 497, being 5,451 less than the pre-
ceding year. Ninety-three counties re-
port a growing sentiment in favor of
public schools six report no change
five report unfavorably, and one makes
no report.
In North Carolina the state of educa-
ton generally is considered far from
satisfactory. 1t is to be feared that in
many if not most of the districts there
will be no schools at all, on account
of the aversion of the people to paying
school taxes. In South Carolina, too,
few schools are supported through the
year.
Mississippi presented gratifying ex-
hibit. There the cause of free educa.
ton was advancing. The other States
are moving slowly in the matter. The
amounts paid out by the trustees to the
States nave been as follows Virginia,
S32, 800; Tennessee, S25, 800 West Vir
ginia, $l5, 500 North Carolina, 81, $50
Georgia, 10000; Florida, $500
Louisiana, $3.50; Alabama, $1,000
Mississippi, 81, $50; Arkansas, $1,000
and South Carolina, 81, 800 making al
together S135, $40.
