THE "Robert Fulton Monumental Park
Association" has been recently organ
lied in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
the avowed object of which organization
is to obtain piece of land containing
about ten acres, embellish and improve,
and erect upon it colossal statue of
Robert Fulton. Unless the colossal
structure which it is proposed to pro-
duce shall be OF higher order of artistic
merit than the majority of American
monuments, the Association would act
wisely in restricting themselves to a
piece of real estate, say ten yards
square, and in digging hole in the
same wide enough and deep enough to
bury their bronze monster in, leaving
the steam vessels of the world to supply
in themselves fitting monument to the
father of steam navigation.

John Bull consumes fifty-siX pounds per

he should be. 1t takes forty eight
pounds on the average to satisfy an
American sovereign, without regard to
age, sex or previous condition. The
Belgian ranks next in the possession of
sweet tooth, but twenty pounds will
answer his purpose for twelvemonth.
The German, Dane, Frencbman and
Dutchman, although differing SO widely
in temperament, habits and diet, re-
spectiVely average an annual con-
sumption of sixteen pounds; the Rus
sian and Spaniard six pounds; the
Greek four, while the Turk, in the
of other luxuries, only
requires two pounds of saccharine food
to render life enjoyable. We have no
returns on this subject from the Central
American States or Sitting Bull with

JEM MACE tells San Francisco re-
porter that the condition OF society in
this country has sunk SO low that he
considers the future of prize-fighting as
a sport very gloomy. This degraded
condition Of the public mind he traces
to the prohibition by law OF the sport.
But for this prohibition the pugilistic
Mace is confident that prize-fghting
would be the most popular OF sports.
He would have the police see fair play
instead Of dispensing the crowd, and
have the law protect the interest of the
prize-fghter instead of reaching for him
with its rough clutches. All this would
be very pleasant for James, but his mis-
fortune is having been born several hun
dred years too late.

AS TO SUGAR.

We invite our readers this evening to
turn from the sour grapes of politics,
which the political foxes have been re-
calling the public with for the past few
months, to a calm and philosophical con-
sideratIon of sugar. The narrowing fact
has recently been promulgated that
there has been great falling off in the
crop during the year last past. 1t is as
serted in short that Ammo Domini 1876
has soured on us. Cyclones, Returning
Boards, earthquakes, bull-dozers, insur-
rections, civil wars, Zach. Chandler,
Abe Hewitt, the Sublime Turk, and
Mary Walker, have been raising cane in
both hemispheres, but not the Kind of
cane that mellows coffee to Christian
stomach OF tones down sour mash to the
inexperienced palate.
Like Mr.. Gradgrind, the STAR de-
lights in treating its friends TO facts. "A
very small array of statistics upon any
given subject will knock the wind out OF
balloon full of theories, besides mani
Testing an amount OF research on the
part of the writer furnishing them that
ought TO entitle him to O holiday and
free pass to the Geological Garden.
In 1866 the total product OF sugar
throughout the world was only little
over 100000 tons. In 1875 it had in
creased to 3, 16s 900 tons. but in 1876 there
has been woelul reduction of over
half million tons in the crop. The
falling off has not only been in cane, but
in beet-root sugar as well. or the for
mer there was produced in 1875 $780,
900 tons, but in 1876 only 950,0OO.
The production of beet sugar in the
same period dropped from 1,s5O,0oO to
100000 tons. 1t will be seen by these
figures, to the surprise, probably, of most
OF our readers, that the worlds produc.
tion Of beet sugar far exceeds that from
cane. 1t appears still further that no
matter what the increased production
may have been, the consumption has
