which he expressed the opiniou that "by

years France, Prussia and Austria have
sent abroad no money for sugar, but have

Scandinavians. The United States brag
that they are ahead of the times. viii

not do we'll in America? Experiments in
beet sugar, as at Northampton, (Mass.,)

have proved failures, but ten times as
many unsuccessful trials abroad preceded
final success, and Americans may learn
by the errors of generations.

The WaIkerton Murder.

A few weeks ago we published an ac-
count of the sudden death of Mrs. Allen
Henry, of the ISLAND" near Walkerton,
and the suspicion entertained of her hav-
ing been poisoned by her husband An
examination of the stomach of the de
ceased was made. which revealed the fact
that she had been poisoned, and unon
this and other testimony her husband
was indicted for murder Henry has left
the country and will probably never be
brought 10 justice, as there is no provi-
sion made TO pay the expense necessary
to pursue and capture him.
There is something strange about this
case. 1t was not published until we ac-
cidentally heard of the sudden doath, and
the suspicion, and gave an account of it
in the REPUBLICAN, few days after the
occurrence.

Hon. Andy Ellison and the Praying
Women at Valparaiso.

A Valparaiso friend writes the TRIB-
UNE that Hon. Andy Ellison, a promi-
nent Democratic politician, of La Grange,
this state, was over there on Tuesday,
when the women's war on the rnm- sellers
had progressed to proclamation and
counter proclamations. Out of curiosity
Mr. Ellison, who occasionally "takes
sugar in his'n," lounged down street to
Wards saloon where the women were
engaged in singing and praying, and she
watched the proceedings for some time
with great interest Directly a friend
came along invited Ellison to step into
Wards and take a drink. "What. in
there!' exclaimed Ellison mot for "A
thousand dollars" 1t was then suggest
ed that ''sniiter" could be had at a sa-
loon around the cOner. "W-e IL" falter-
ed Ellison, Il don't believe | feel like
drinking anything to-day, after hearing
these women sirg and pray. ."-South Bend
