vile, cincinnnti and other places in this coun-
try, the Amerieaa people would scnrcely have
given thought to ono OF tho greatest moyo-
znenta Of the day,-the uprising Of the mechan-
ca and laborors against their employers, aud their
demand for fundamental alteration In the re-
lationB. 1t not indeed for tue doing away OF all
distinction, between them. Tic International,

and particularly In thoae countries where uniyor-

where, therefore, numbers arc power. They

Ranerty's case takes on now interest this
morning from the fact that he has given to re-
porter Of THE TnsDusE hia version OF the kill
ing Of o'Meara, which ne priut elsewhere. This
is the first full statement he has ever mado for

served On him, and took particular note that 1t
WAS not filled OUT with any name. Then,
ho says. the two officers pouuced upon
him, O'leara beating him with alung-
shot and Sclnlan with tho butt Of 3 revolver,
whilo lie himself used the end Of hia revolver u
the same way. Ho alleges that tho shooting oc-
CURED after Officer O'Moara commenced striking
him with a ulung-shot. Immediately after the
shooting, according to his version, Officer scan-
lau ran out Of tho door. When Rafferty, rushed
out he encountered scanlan, pushed him against
the beor-barrels in front of the saloon, and made
good bis esonpo for tho tiuo being. This IN tho

Worry genorol regret will follow tho announce
mont that hIr. Edwin Booth has become vol
untary bankrupt. His liabilities arc about $780,
600, and his assets reach one-third OF that
amount. Tho failure is attributed to the mis-
management Of hia brother, WHO has had charge
Of hip theatre in New York, and, by introducing
trashy plays Of the modern school, wasted the
great popularity which Edwin had brought 1t.
While devoted to the ShaAspearean revival,
under the brilliant direction OF tile greatest
of shakspearcan dc1inoators, ita dramatic
and pocuniary succoas WIS very great. ThiH
result s4ows that tho popular tuato is higher

Among the various charitable institutions Of
this city none has noblor mission or Is more
deserving OF public sympathy and encourage
ment tllan tho Erring- -Woman's Home. The sn-
nual report Of the Secretary, aetting forth It's
condition, it's wants, and tho character Of tho
work dono In It, which waa printed in tho last ia-
sue Of TuE TRIBUNE, contains variety Of u,l-
usually interesting facts, especially those which
pertain to it's management. Considering tic
number OF erfing women in this city, tho number
Of inmates is not large, but this very fact gives
tho management ali opportunity to carry out it's
system moro thoroughly and effectively. Tie
outcaat from society who soeka rofugo In tue
Homo finds itin roality to to home. Hor habit
Of life is utterly changed, She anda hor-
self in 4 family entitled to ell its
privileges and expected to perform oil
Of its duties. Her dniy life is family ufo. She
Is not mendicant OF pens|oner, aud there is
nothing In hor surroundings to remind her that
eho ia an inmate Of 4 charitable inatitutlon, or
that she is living upon charity. she is COLI
stantly IN an atmosphere which excludes every
auggoation OF her former associations. Tho day
commences with fat,,iiy worship, and then each
inmate goes to the work for which sle is best
adapted, some to sowing aud como to house,
work. Daily instruction is given in the plain
English branches and in music. Sunday is de-
voted to religious sesyico, and one evening Of
each weol to aocial recreation. Thus by degrees
tho whole mode Of life Ia changed, and the
friendoss outcaat finds herself MEM
ber Of 8 family, In Which eho takos
AL interest and Which takes an interest
In hor. Although many Of these inmates aro
vicious aud near 1y all Of them ignorant, thi
family discipline las worked wonders, and tho
institution Ia reported to be in q very aourishing
condition. During tue prosent year, oIghty-throe
not yet IL yeurs old. Fourteen have boon re-

SOUTHERN SUGAR,

The soil OF Louisiana is specially adaptod to
tho culture Of the sugar-cane. Labor is abuu
dant and comparatively cheap. Tho markets are
easily accessible. The sugar aud molasses pro-
duced are Baid to DO tho best Of thoir kind. Yet,
despite all these advantages, the average annual
ahrinkago in tho supply Of Baccharino swoots, for
the last thirteen years, has been $4,000 hogs
heads OF sugar and soo,ooo gallons Of molasaes.
The War, Warmoth, Casey, Kollogg,-these
pests arc doubtless responsible for no small part
Of the 8tate'a industrial rotrog1ession, but there
has been stAl another and a greater casso. The
yield Of sugar to tho aero has steadily d1nn-
isled, not only Oh lands that might reasdhably DO
thought to be worn out, but Oh all lands. The
trouble is with the cate. It is an exotic plant
which noeds to be occasiona]ly rouowed. Other
wjso, when removed from It's tropical home, it
gradually dotoriorates aud loses it's productive
power. Last year an effort was made to bring
now cane from India and Egypt, vhore the yield
Ia nearly four times as large as 1t ia In Louis
luna. The plan was undertaken 30 late in the
season, however, that 1t failed. It Ia now pro-

to send competent buyer to Hindostan ~
curly as the 1st Of April. The country is ex-
pectod to furnish naval yoaaol to bring buck a
cargo Of fresh ana healthy cano. Why it should
60 into tho business Of 1roght~carrior for Louis
iana planters 1t Is not easy to See
perhapa as slight oxproasion OF it's
sorrow for having forced Kellogg upon
thoso planters. There IL moro reason for Louis
iana's going into the buainesH Of oano-buyer. The
State haa curious connection with the Citlzens'
Bank, In virtue Of which tho bunk pays the inter-
cat on certain 6tate bonds TINT are secured by
mortgage On a great number Of plantations. II
these plantations should bo stocked with freHl,
cane, the yield would probably be quadrupJed,
aud tho obligations might DO quickly paid off.
Tho annual diminution OF $4,000 hogsloatls Of
sugar aud 100000 gallons Of molaBses ia 4 mat
tor that concerns the whole country. Wo a1o
argely dependent Oh Louisiana for our sugar
supply, According to tho census Of 1870, tho to-
tal product OF cano.sugar WIS B7,0ls hogsleadB,
and Of oano-molassoB, COOS, ,823 gallons. OF
these, Louisiana produced 81, zoo hogsheada, aud
4,5a5,15o gallons. II tho present rate Of de-
creaso continues, the last sweet thing in that
most unaayory State will aoon disappear.

THE GERMAN ELECTIONS.

The latest foreign mails bring tho complete re-
sults Of tho recent elections. to tho German
Neichstag, which arc Of moro than ordinary in
toroBt. from tho fact that tho Ultramontano
question WAS one Of the principal Issues involved
In the campaign. In tho lust Parliament, Bis-
marck had to contend with only sixty-two Ultra-
montanos, but in this Parliament tho number ia
increased to liz, who will side with tho priests
In their opposition to the Government. Among
them are tho now Deputies from A1aaco, who aro
oil French, and, OF course, all Ultramontanes.
In addition to those, tho Opposition is strength
oned by IL Socialists 10 Conservatives, 10 Par
ticularists. 15 Poles aud Danes, from schloewig,
aud 10 1sadca1s. making in all 172 out Of tho
397. members Of tho parlamous, anl leaving 225
members Of tho National Liboral party whom
Bismarck can count upon as supporters Of the
Government.
Tho result shows very material {alling-oif
In tho Governments majority. It lndicatos that
the people do not ontor iuto tho struggle against
UltramontaniBm with the SAND zeal as tue Gov-
crnmeut, and that many voters are utterly care
less which side wins. In Berlin itself, where
tho Government Ia presumed at least to naye
an ardont support, only 88,785 votos wero cast
out Of total vote Of 10o,7 The lar goat
gains Of the Opposition woro made in Prussia and

tho hitter Catholic. In Prussia, the Ultramon-
tauos increased their representatives from 10

Flowers i'm a Sitting Room.

A correspondent writes: Il saw a
single petuaia in lady's sitting room
that was perfectlylovely. 1t was placed
in hanging basket and suspended in
front of the window. Some of the long
stems fell over the sides of the basket,
some were looped half way, and some
were tied up straight. All were covered
with blossoms. 1t was a purple and
white varigated variety. On one side of
the room was Madeira vine, covering
nearly all the wall and festooned over
the door; on another side an English
ivy; in the corner a Wandering Jew !;
aud these, with few pretty but cheap
plants, made a room fit for queen in
its rustic beauty, and the whole not
costing over fly cents. Very pretty
hanging pots can be made of the tops of
goblets or the half of cocoanut shell,
by crocheting net of some bright
worsted to hang them in.'
