BnYard TayIOr's Idea About NC.
Bayard Taylor,in his last New York letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial, writes E:
"Here, at least, we have fallen into a COM
Portable state of patience and forbearance.
For week after the election the temper Of
the public was uneasy, excitable, more or
less gravely disturbed. That which many
coed men on both sides had dreaded was an
inevitable fact-a vote so close that the
worst elements might be called into action
TO secure victory. AS simple citizen,
with no office, present or prospective, at
stake, never shared this fear. 1t seemed
to me that if our political system must be
subjected to such strain we ought rather
to endure it now than at a later time. Since
tile struggle could not be Immediately deci-
ded, the present delay is fortunate. The
people have sobered down, in contempla-
ton Of possible dangers, and the determi
nation to keep order increases day by day.

AMERICAN BEET SUGAR = TROUBLE
WITH OUR SOILS.

Mr.. Lea Pusey, of this city, who is taking
so active an interest in the production of
beet sugar in this country, has sent out
circular to those who raised beets for ex-
perimental purposes the present season,
asking them to try again next year. He
states that the tests made of the beets sent
him show that they vary greatly-in the per-
centage of sugar, the average being much
below paying quantity. This variation,
however, judging by the reports, (Which
come from different parts of the State, and
the adjacent section of New Jersey,) is due
almost entirely to the difference in the cul-
tivation; the nearer the approach to the
European methods, the larger has been the
percentage of eugar. Mr.. Pusey therefore
wants to try again, and to cultivate as near
ly as possible ON tha European plan, which
he carefully deserves in his circular.
Parties in Illinois who have experimented
elaborately in bee5s for sugar have found
that the soil in the sections SO far tried,
was unsuitable, containing. apparently, too
much nitrogenous and alkaline matter, so

ed in the experiment, however, German
capitalist named Rosentiel, says his faith
in the ultimate success of beet sugar
in Illinois is mistaken, and it il
pointed out that the successful es-
tablishment of cane sugar culture in Louisi
ana was only achieved ter.fifteen years oi
costly experiment and failure.
An Important meeting of prominent gen
tlemen interested in the beet sugar culture
was held at the Centennial Grounds, few
days ago. At this meeting it was STATED
that the Canadian Government had offere'
bonus of $1,000 year for ten years to th
first company successfully engaging i'll thi
industry, and also to take off so per cent

Facts for ,he People.

AS the virtues OF medicines only be ascer
tanned by careful observation it is to be regretted
that many of the drugs still prescribed By some
Physicians should retain place in our materia
medica AS an instance of this that vile drug Bal
sam Oopaiba furnishes an example. About the year
1880 the Spaniards in the Island of San nomingo
having become afflicted with certain complaints,
thought according the prevailing notion at that
time, that the remedy might ba found where the
disease originated. Under this impression Balsam
Copaiba came INTO use, but never has anauseating
drug done more injury, for it not only changes the
nature of the disease to more dreadful state than
the original, but it ruins the tone of the stomach

sail race with the lord, who was as

lord to dine with him at Newport Har-
Dor. hoping that under the mellowine
influence of victuals and viands the
lord might consent to race. The lord
took with him his brother law, who
was instructed TO chime in every time
Travers showed aggression, and to di>

suffering as usual, said, Il h-h>heaI

Gumbs' Dog.

Gumbs, who lives next door to US,
says aoeekly contemporary, has bought
new dog. He needs new one. His
last dog used to lark all night in the
yard until, in frantic desperation, we
would shy boots and cologne bottles and
furniture at him. But he always went
on worse; and in the morning Gumbs
would come calmly out and gather up
these missiles and carry them into the
house. He has more than twenty pairs
of boots and slippers in his possession
besides chair legs and cakes of soap,
and hair brushes, and match safes. and
towel-racks. And he never had the
manliness to offer to give them back.
On the contrary, be trained that dog to
sit by the front gate and seize us by the
leg when We came ont. apparently tor
the purpose of securing some more
boots. But we poisoned him one plight,
and the next morning Gumbs threw the
carcass over into our yard. We return
ed it. Gumbs returned it. We both
stayed at home that day, and spent the
time handing that dog to one another
over the fence. Then we hired an
Irishman to stand there night and day
to return the deceased to Gumbs' yard.
ThenGumbs also employed an Irishman.
1t was exhilarating work. The corpse
probably traversed that fence six or
seven thousand times in every twenty
four hours. He must have become
familiar with the route, even if be was
dead. At last he wore away with so
much handling, and on the last day the
Irishmen whiled away the hours by
flinging only the tail at each other.
Our Irishmah at last buried the tail,
and resigned. Gumbs' Irishman quar-
relied with ours for burying the tail
without waking" it. And now Gumbs
has got new dog. 1t will be excessive
ly'singular if we do not fish for that dog
some evening soon with Goldfish line
and piece Of beef, and run 1im up all
of a sudden to our window and launch
lin into the sewer.
