ONE VuyDgED YEARS OLD.

We stand at tho open door OF the Sec
ond century Of our country's political
life. A century is a small period Of
time in the history of most any other
nation of the globe. Monarchiai coun-
tries boast of their long line of kings,
but the history of their Alfreds and
Caputs is almost as unreal and rapt in
as much mystery as that of King
Amaimon, ''the chief whose Kingdom
on the north part of the internal gulf"
In America we are all kings, and our
royal genealogy is not written on brok-
en-, moss covered slabs which are min
gled with the ruined turrcts and ivy
crowned walls of some venerable abbey
or cathedral. Our grandiathcrs were
young men when our sovereignty was
founded and Washington, the king Of
q kingly people, the founder Ola lineago
more godike than the world even saw
before, witnessed our grandm others
s,rew their floral tributes in his path,
victory.
We have not, therefore, reason to
boast of tie ancicntness OF our lineage,
nor its "regal blood" A century is but
n very small period Of time for natio n s
existence. And the kings OF a people
OF kings have come from the pillow, the
workshops. and the humblest positions
in liGc-wth 60 "heir appareats''-and
aresGccccded by those just as humble
life.
Oar boast then is that the problem Of
self-governmcnt - oyer which learned
men and wise statesman OF all ages have
SO long contended-is being pretty sue
cessiully solved by the American peo-
pie. We are not Old as q monarchy, but
as a republic we are some what ancient.
So-called republics have endured in the
past for series of years, and then gone
down covered with the blood of civil dis
cord. The people may have been right,
Dul lloail ItitiS NSIe diI WRONG.
With the lessons of the past before
them, aud favored with the benefits of
a much higher civilization, the founders
Of our republic went TO work The re-
public has lived one hundred years,
triumphed successfully over ~both
foreign and internal enemios, and takes
lis rank at the head OF the nations. III
the principles of The founders Of the
public are carried out and maintained /
during the next one hundred years rs
well as they have been in The century 1
past, then will Americans be actual
dcm-gods.
This is our year for Boosting, but we
should not boast too much. We are
naturally pulled up with conceit over
our successes, but should remember there
are other powerful and happy nations ,on
the face Of the earth, and that others
lay claim TO q national elysium besides
ourselves.

A HONE ENTERPRISE.

The Central Kansas Department oil

ness men, under whose management.
with tho unexceled attractions and

companies in the United States. We

out the addition TO this courage OF the
qualities upon which success is depend
ent-energy, patience, industry, exper-
hence, capability, sagacty, good iudg-
ment, the builders would labor i'm vain.
"Thc founders Of the Alliance arc men
who are not given TO laundering, to

They are men whose past endeavors
have been attained with success. The /

The results of the experiment pro-
,osed above are reported to US as fol-

The results of the experiment pro-
posed above are reported to US as fol-
lows:
"Tbe sorghum experiment has been
completed. 1t yielded eighteen gallons
per wagon load, or about double the
average yield of cane worked by the
same establishment, which has made
upwards OF three thousand gallons this
season. The juice, tested by the
saccharometer, was not above the aver
age Sweetness, (dcnsity,) but was double
IN quantity"
The above result is certainly very
gratifying, and would seem to indicate
that general adoption of the method
could proftably be made by sorghum
growers generally. The production of
sugar from sorghum syrup is, however,
as already intimated, entirely another
question. It is well known by chemists
that the juice Of the sorghum contains u
comparatively small percentage Of true
crystallizable or cane sugar rarely over
nine per cent; while the juice OF the true
cane affords twenty per cent OF true
crystalizable sugar. But the very
rough and rapid process of boiling to
which tho sorghum juice is generally
submitted, most cffectually prevents the
crystallIzatlon Of whatever true cane
sugar i; may contain. BY this process
OF "hard boiling" The percentage OF
good crysiallizablc sugar present be-
comes converted into a totally uncrystal-
lizablc sugar, and is thus lost beyond
all hoce ofrecOvery.
II is as yet by no means established
that, by the employment Of the best
methods and the hest apparatus in c"car
man ufacture, by careful and cautious
boiling-pcrhaps"vacunmp pans" and by
equally careful Clarifying, good sugar
may not yet be male from sorghum
cane. Bat, however that may be, this
much is certain: the use of these i'm
provei and by no means expensive
methods would give us IA rlcar, palatabe,

Early in thg month OF September last
a letter from 4 successful farmer H.

this Institution, contained the follow
ing:
"What, in your opinion, would be the
success OF the experiment Of topping TIC
common sorghum cane rs soon - ii has
headed, thus preventing the formation
of seed? Woald the yield Of true Sugar
be increased; or, If not, do you think
the method would increase the Weld of
syrup? | an trying The experiment, bat
the cane on which am experimenting
has been but poorly cultivated, and
must from necessity depend on others
for the manufacture Of the syrup"
To which, reply was made tina, the
method OF topping sugar caae en-
ployed b. many sHgar-erowcrs of the
south would undoubtedly be followed
by equally beneficial results when az
Piled 10 our common sorghum. That
The yield of syrup would TO 1ndoa5ied-
" increased by such process, bet that

from would be another aad much mo-c

The SGez Canal Purchase.

nal policy Is looked into the more WIS.,
ionary it appears-So far, at least, rs il
( has yet been carried. 1t seem TO be
tolerably certain that the right Of shares,
the interest on which is suspended to
carry votes, will be contested in France,
I if not by the Fronch Government, BY
! French shareholders and, IN any case,
there will only be ten votes. On the
one hand therefore, the British Govern
ment will be saddied with most en-
barrasSing responsibility for the man
agement OF the canal, and for the ind-
rect projects with which il will be sim
posed to be associated and on the other
hand, ii is difficult to see what platform
for action it has acquired which it could
not equally have possessed as the rep
rcscntatiye Of private English share
holders. OF course, the four millions
will not be lost, and even they 90 not
prove very profitable Investment pc
cunarily, this is no great matter. The
important question is, What has been
gained? For the moment no doubt the
coup has iavorabiy impressed public
opinion with sense of dash and dctis-
ion long absent from English politics
