In the Upper House Of the Prussian
Diet, on February 5, Count SchuIea5erg
put a question regarding the eventual re-
moval of the sequestration laid upon the
property of ex-Ki0g George OF IIanover,
Herr Tidemann, Government. Commits
s%ioner, in reply said that the Government
considered the question 20 be at present
IN a provisional state, of which it desired
a speedy cessation. The time for making
an alteration, however, had not yet ar
rived, the maintenance Of the present
condition Of things being necessitated by
the general and important interests of the
Prussian Monarchy which were involved.
After referring to the continual agitation
of the Guelph party for the estab ishnent
Mr.. Eastes and Mr.. Alexander j. W. Boyd,
of Brisbane. have alrendy obtained a Patent for
England. See list of patents in our present issus.

in consequence of the non.production OF
moIasses, must be patent to all who know
anything about sugar making. We must
mention, for the Der, fl of those who

ses and uncrystaIlizable sugar, that the

merely topped below the leaves, and in
some cases a large portion OF the leaf IT.
self remained on the care. This was in
conformity to Mr.. Darts theory, that it
is only the washy Bourbon cane top
which is incapable Of yielding cryslaIIiza-
BILE sugar. It certainly made no difference
to Mr.. Eastes' process.
Mr.. Dart deserves the best thanks OF the
sugar growing community for bis action
il connection with this matter OF the tfIaI.
He proposed to Mr.. tastes u days work
at his mill. He supplied the cane, the
labour, the freWood, and asked no guaran-
tee from the inventor IN case Of failure.
His remark was, " II il does fail, why I've
lost a ION or two Of sugar, bat It's worth
the chance. " And that chance Las re-
suited in q%ua1tity of sugar being made
which is worth at least IS per ton more
than that made by the Old process. We
understand that it is Mr., Estes intention
to patent his process Ia the various sngAl-
producing countries Of lie world, and
producers may therefore look forward to
being enabled to avail themselves of the

The Wreck Of the Huron.

The hope expressed by the Free
Press, when the disaster to the
Huron was first reported, that the
loss would not be traced to nnsea-
worthiness was not altogether well
founded. Technically, perhaps, the
Huron would not have been rated
unseaworthy but she was by no
means as well fitted as she should
have been to encounter the gale in
which she went down. A war ves-
sci ought to be, and If properly
constructed will be. able to ride
out the toughest gales. In ordin-
AIRY times, it is true, such n vessel
may not be compelled to leave port
when gale is impending but the
emergency is always likely to come
when she must go, whatever the
weather. IL is to meet such emer-
gencies, and not to suffice for
average weather, that vessels of
war are constructed, or supposed
to be; and il seems very clear now
that the Huron was not well con-
to meet emergencies.
According to all accounts the
Huron was built OF the ordinary
hin iron used in the construction
II merchant vessels and not of the |
heavier material manufactured ex-
lressly for war vessels. She was
'fiimsily built" moreover, as shown
" the report Of the investigating
ommittee Of the House OF Repre-
n year ago. The same
ommittee reported her AZ having
dangerous boilers" and "little
peed." During the months of
and October last she
as kept Ia the navy yard at
for repairs; and the
pinion was freely expressed by
xperts that she ought not 10 be |

who seems to have sat quietly by
and witnessed the slaughter of his
SCENE to appropriate $4,000 out
OF the national treasury without
even a faint protest. At last it
comes in our Washington letter,
and it turns out TO be the old, old
story, that the House wanted, but
was afraid TO, and so concluded to
let the Senate impose IL on them
coerce them, so to speak-in the
way of amendment to the Def
cheney bill. Our heartfelt sym-
pathy goes ont to Ellsworth over

that would very nearly have paid

Mr.. Ellsworth will not mourn as

Ellsworth and His Speech.

Mr.. Ellsworth, the gentleman
who represents the eighth distric,
in the national house Of representa-
tives, has made his maiden speech
on the floor OF the house on the
"repeal of the resumption act" II
is not the action OF the gentleman
in opposing the resumption act
that we call particular attention TO
in this connection, although we
believe the law ought to be repeal
ed for the simple fact that the at
tempt TO execute il will prove a
disastrous failure, but to that por-
ton of his speech wherein he places
himself on record against the work
ingmen of his district whose votes
aided largely in his election. Mr..
Ellsworth would place the laboring
man Of his district on a plane with
the ill-paid, ill-clad, suffering
millions of the old world he scott
ed at the idea that a dollar a day
was intIlcient 10 meet all the wants
and necessities that laboring men
are entitled to.
He has defined his position, he
has placed himself on record as a
of the Shylock, as
against the interests Of the labor
ing man, and the people of the
eighth district know now where he /
stands. Courier.
