| A SUGAR REyoLUrIoN invention,
which threatens to interfere greatly with
cur commerce is reported from Paris,
and If 1t proves sueeess it will proba-
bly, have the effect of causing an entire
revolution among the Southern planters.
The new discovery is a method of max.
ing sugar by uniting into compound,
its cons! !itue Mt atoms of carbon, hydro
gen and oxygen. The inventor, Mr..
Jouglet, says that the cost of production
will be fifty cents per hundred cwt., and
he has already so far succeeded in es-
tablishlng the utility of his invention
that company Of manufacturers have
been persuaded to purchase it from him
for the comparatively moderate sum oss
S240,000. What the sugar planters and
refners will dc if this discovery turns
out to be as important as it promises,
remains to be seen; bat thers is no
doubt that if it is cnly partially success
ful, strange developments may be eY-
pected. The invention is said to be
very simple, and one easily explained;
and endless quantities of ssccLarine sub
stance can, it is claimed, bs manufac-
tured by this new process in SO short a
time and at SO small co.t as to preclude
the possibility of competitior.i

The BISHOP AND THE CoLLIEEs The
Ba'nisaghan Morning Nolos says that a
o ry, in which tie Bishop of Lichfeld
is the prominent figure, is just now cir
culatint in Wolverhampton. 1t is to the
effect that while walking in the Black
country, short time ago, his lordship
saw number Of miners seated on the
ground. and went towards them with
the object of saying "word in season."
He asked them what they were doing.
and was told by one Of the men that
they had been "loyin." The Bishop
svincod some, astonlshment, and asked
for an explanation. "Why, yer see, g
said one of the men, lone of US fun
| (found) kettle and we have been a
trying who can tellthe biggest lie to ha'
t." His lordship was shocked, and pro-
cesded to read the men lecture, telling
them, among other things, that he had
always been taught that lying was an
awful of'ense, and that, in fact, SO
strongly had this been impressed upon
him that he had never told . lio in the
whole coUrse of his life. His lordship
had barely finished when one of the
men, who had previously remained 81
lent. exclaimed, "Gie the governor the
kettle; gle the governor the kettle"

RAILROAD DISASTER. Edward Carr,
son of Professor Z. S. Carr, of the Uni
versity of California, WAS accidentally
killed, on Thursday at Alemeda Sta
ton. He has been employed as freight
train engineer on tho Oakland and Ale
media road; but had taken charge, on
Thursday, of the passenger cars. The
couplings between passenger cars differ
from those of freight wagons. Whilst
coupling the latter there is space be-
tween in which TO stand; but when
uniting the former it is customary to Of.
feet the junction from the platform, the
mid-space bsing too limited. Young
Carr seems to have forgotten that he
was not on a freight train, and in coup-
ling he stepped down on the track, and

force h5 was crushed to death. He did
not utter word. His lifeless body was
conveyed to the Yosemite Hotel. A tel

T The New York Nation has been
devoting some of its spare moments to
analyzing the contest of the last Con-
gressional Directory. 1t finds that of 317
Senators and Representatives in the last
Congress, only 81 were graduates OF
colleges. North Carolina had the larg-
est proportion of members thus educa
ted. In her delegation of 8 members 6
are "co,legs bret,'' New York has 8
out of 33; Pennsylvania, 6 out of 26;
Ohio, 5 of 81. New England is not
much better, having less than half; and
ten States, extending from Maryland
and Delaware to Texas and Nevada, have
not single graduate. School children
should take courage. The studious boy
is quite sure to make anintelligent man:
and to such one, it will be ssen, the
chances for Congress are encouraging.

IMMENSE VESSEL. San Francisco
'CcU, of Oct, 25th, contains a lengthy
description of the sailing Of the ship
Three Brothers, formerly man-of war
Vanderbilt. She is the largest vessel
tia. ever sailed from the Pacific
coast. She takes to Europe cargo of
4, ,366 tons of wheat. valued at $199. 900.
Her cost was $4,000. She spreads
$1,000 yards of canvass. In speaking
of her spars the Cal says: :" Her spars
are marvels although they do come from
Puget Sound. Probably no other part
of the world could produce such fine
masts and yards.

F Considerable excitement prevails
in East and West Donegal, Penn, ccca>
stoned by the arrest of about fifty per-
sons, the most of them being respecta~
BILE farmers and their sens, on charge
of deirauding the revenue. 1t seems
there were two women, residing in the
neighborhood, who manufactured cigars
for their own consumption. In the ma
iority of cases the nature of the offense
Is buying cigars not placed in stamped
boxes, and from an unlicensed manu-
facturer or dealer, and thereby aiding
such dealer to defraud the revenue. The
penalty is not less than 500; no more
than $500; fine and imprisonment for
not les, than six months may be added.
