Beet-Toot Sugar.

Our farming and manuf,cturino road
ers who have unemDloyed cnnital or
land should give careful attention To the
attempt which is making to introduce
the manufacture of beet-root sugar into
this country. 1t has never been fairly
tried here, owing to the cost and heavy
duty upon the machinery necessary and
the great inequality in the beet-pro-
ducing qualities OF certain soils A
meeting of Californian and Northern
men who propose to move in the matter
was held in Philadelphia last week, and
the testimony of leading foreign agricul-
turists collected, which sets the under
taking in o most favorable light.
According to MIR. George May Powell,
from twelve to twenty tons Of beets can
be raised to the acre, which, at $6 per
ton, would pay the farmer twice as wen
as wheat. He also stated that "the re-
tuse from the factory using 50e acres OF
beels would be equal for stoek-leeding
to 50e acres of h4y. Such factory
should produce about 10 tons of su gar
and 100 tons OF syrup" Capital invest
ed in this way should pay the nanutac-
turer Is per cent. i-
Mr.. PowelI's senguine statement is
probably colored by his hopes, aud we
would mot advise any capitalist to
plunge into the manufacture with the
expectation of % per cent the first year.
Experts in The Dusihess assert that tue
finest sugar can not be produced from
the beet without the 2dmlXture OF. cane
j Juice, and, that the syEup tor edible pur-
poses is worth just nothing atall. bow
ever, this is mater Tor capitalists and
experts TO settle, and it certainlg is
worth the earnest consideration of cur
people. TIE $lOQ, OOes0O0 which Mr.
Powell declares we are sending out ,of

WHATEVER else may be the result of
the Centennial Exposition lately closed
at Philadelphia, it is gratifying to feel
that it mas definitely decided the ques.
tion as to which is the best piano among
the many manufactured in this country.
we have looked over the advertisements
of the various manufacturers recently
with great interest aud discover that
each one received the highest award
and is accordingly entitled to be con.
sidered superior to all the others. ANY
person therefore desirous OF enjoying
the rare pleasure OF possessing the finest
piano in the world can nov do SO by
simply looking over the newspaper ad-
Vertisements and buying one of each
kind.

Two YOUNG MEN IN AN AVENUE CAR.
She was very pretty, wore n pleasant
smile, and when she entered an avenue
car last evening there were seven young
men who Immediately vacated their seats
and delighted themselves by casting al
ternate glances at the fair one and the va
cant spaces. She took the nearest seat
with a nod to all and bewitching smile;
six young men bowed and sat down,
while one young man bowed and stood up
and imagined himself martyr. She
carried beautiful child in her arms, and
it was very playful. One young man
thought she was its aunt, ard two others
were quite positive she was not its moth
er. Meanwhile the child amused itself.
1t climbed and crowed and laughed and
played, and the lady laughed and petted
it. One of the young men, a sacrilegi-
ous wretch, commenced humming 81

kicking in playful mood, kicked a
handkerchief from the lady's lap on the
floor. There were four Of the young men
who made simultaneous dive for the
muslin, and two of them got it. They
came up smiling, neither willing to relax
his grasp, and two hand extended it to-
ward the fair one. An old lady on the
opposite side Uttered, and the young la

and blushed. The young men looked at
each other, and then at the -. Their

HELPING OTHERS. 1t is q strange
thing, but it is nevertheless true, that
sharing another's burden will tighten or
own. Ii you begin doing little things for
your neighbor, it will soon be easy for
you to perform great deeds in his behalf.
No man is sufficient unto himself. Trust
in Providence is nothing but higher belief
in humanity. You may feel very much
depressed some day, discouraged and
well-nigh despairng, when some kind
friend happens in-God sent-and you are
soothed, cheered and encouraged the
veil is lifted and you are happy once
more. Many are able to give substantial
help to those who are in need money, to
tide over some financial trouble (; food, to
keep family from starving gifts, that
nourish the heart with assurances Of love (;
something that may be a tribe in itself,
but which helps to make up the sum of
human happiness But perhaps you can
not do thi- you have q large family and
ed from making the hand amoncr Of the
heart. Well, then, draw oa the spiritual
treasury. Give ,ind words to those who
need them comfort those who are bowed
down speak lovingly to little children,
and encouragingly to those who faint for
this support. Stand ready to help every
body.

ed desire to vote. Her young man was
more than willing she should be gratilied,
and sent for a buggy to take her 10 the
polls. While on their way he asked to
see her ticket. 1t was shown him. While
she was looking in another direction, he
nuts her ticket, which was for Coret, in
his pocket and gave her one in place for
Steele The saddest part is yet to be
told. She never knew how she had voted
for days afterward. He was in the habit
of taking candy to her every Friday night.
Last Friday he failed. But when he
told her so, she could not believe him.
So she determined to search his pocket.
Horrors The first thing she discovered
was her ticket written in her own hand.
When the young man awoke to a proper
realization Of his situation, be was lying
doubled up on the floor, while tufts OF his
auburn locks were scattered in rich pro-
fusion about the room. As he opened
his ewes vase filed with water and an
sea shell came crashing into
his face, followed by invectives OF any
thing tut a loving nature from her whom
he had So cruelty deceived. He scram-
bed to his feet, made hasty exit through
a window, and has since studiously avoid
ed the house. He secured vote for his
favorite candidate, but lost Ai- girl.

THE GossIPPER.-The gossipper and

occupation, that of casting aspersions up
on the fair name of others, is far less laud-
able and far more dangerous to society
than that of the common horse thief, for
the name, tho character, which they
would steal is entirely beyond pecuniary
compensation. How often do those in
carnate tiends in human form choose for
victim Of their ISLANDERS some worthy
man or woman, who, by their own unaid-
ed efforts, has arisen from an humble
station to one of honor and les possibility
and whose eXertions deserve the admra-
ton and earnest commendations of all
good people. But those monstroslties of
humanity, too lazy and too weak in men

another attempt to save him, and so one
day not long ago he was startled by her
entrance into saloon where he sat play
ing cards with party Of boon compan-
ions. The woman took no notice of her
husband, but boldly walked up to the
counter and called for glass of beer.-
Turning to the crowd she said /: "Come
gentlemen, and have drink with me I!
Ii beer is good for men, it certainly ought
to be good for women" and though the
crowd was little startled, rs representa-
tive bummers, none of them except the
husband, were uuprepared to accept the
invitation.
The drink was disposed of, when the
lady ordered a second for the crowd, but
made a uery WY face rs she struggled
to get through with it. Setting her half
emptied glass on the counter, she said,
Il don't like beer; what else have you?"
The woman who ofTiaiatod at the bar
enumerated the varieties. Il believe
