Sale Of Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad.

It is announced in the papers that the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad will be sold on
the I'd of April next. This is an Important
notice, ard means shab Che western connec.
tons OF tIiIs great enterprise are to be. at
no distant day, completed. But for legal
complications tie sale would doubtless have
taken place some time ago,
There is no more Important line of inter
nal communication than the Chesapeake &
Ohio Railroad. 1t will. when its western
connections are completed, drain the most
fertile portion OF the Middle and Northwest.
and with carrying capacity equal to the
trade that will be developed along its line,
cannot fail to become one of the NEST re-
munerative on the continent.

Cannon Farrar, of Westminster Abbey, is
agitating the Church of England by urging
that the words shell" everlasting" end
s'damnation' ought to be left Gilt OF the
Bible, as they are wrong translations. He
was addressing the learned doctors now en-.
gagged on the revision cf the Bible. He
claims that King James translation is i'm
perfect, and that the irishtful words we have
quoted are not Justified by the original.
Calon Earrar does not believe in he'll and
damnation as representing everlasting pun
ishment. The subject is exciting much
thought and discussion IN England, and is
striking blow at the very base of the Chris
tian religion. 1t will not anso.,nJ to great
deal. when the novelty and audacity of the
proposition has subsidized.

sure, no one will pretend, not even himself.
The prevailing spirit however, has had a
most salutary effect upon thu country, ami
in nothing more than in removing all pre-
text for partizan hate and bitterness in the
South. One error he has fallen into, and
that is the appointment Of democrats to Of
flee. where respectable republicans could be
found to fill them. The great mass of the
people did not expect or desire this. They
recognized the propriety of the patronage
of the government being dispensed to those
who ale identified with the party organiza-
ton that elected him. Where qualifications
for position could be found in Republicans,
that element OF the Democratic party South
which looked higher than mere partiZan ad-
vantage, expected Republicans would be
selected, and such selections would have
thrown no obstacles in thu way of the sue
cess of his policy. The appointment of
Fitzsimmons as Marshal Of Georgia was dis
tasteful to every Republican in the South.
1t not only reflected upon the character and
qualifications of the Republicans of that
State, but it was designed by the parties
who pressed his nomination to subserye
malignant partizan spirit. The President
was deceived by the men who urged the Sc
lection, as subsequent developments demon
stratcd. 1t was more for party advantage
than for pacific principle that Senator Cor
don ems ineered the case. 1t was with no
purpose to aid in carrying out the policy OF
medication. in the sense the President III
ended. but to accomplish the ends OF per-
.onal politics that Mr.. Gordon was governed.
Indeed. it may be taken for granted that
when democrats are urged for appointment
q office under a Republican administration
IS means of pacifcatioD, that it is decep-
lou that the pretense Of friendship TOR the
resident is a sham. under which to Sub
erye some contemplate partizan purpose,
nd those who urge them are unworthy OF

There never was an election be-
fore, since 1910, when so many De-
mocratic strongholds were carried
by the Republicans by assault. The
10000 majority in the Milwaukee
District has been rubbed out. Two
counties in Pennsylvania that usu.
ally give $500 Democratic majority
reversed the engine and rolled up
1000 majority for the Republicans.
Ulster County, New York, that is
or was thought to be as reliably
Democratic as Kentucky, gives a
larger Republican majority than it
used to give the other way. Other
feats of political ledgerdemain are
noticeable all over the country.

SUGAR MILL.

The success attending the manu-.
facture of syrup from the amber
cane has stimulated the inventive
genius of our mechanics to devise
practical means Of converting the
syrup into sugar, and Mr.. II. L.
JosIin, a Mankato mechanic, has
attained a gratifying degree Of sue
cess in his first efforts. It is con-
structed somewhat upon the princi-
pie Of what is termed the sshoney
singer, . the granulated syrup
being placed in a cylinder made of
wire cloth, and operated by rotary
motion, being capable Of making
from 800 to 1900 revolutions per
minute, which throws the syrup
through the openings in the wire,
leaving the dry sugar at the bottom.
Another cylinder surrounds this,
which retains the syrup. The ex.
pense is slight, the sample machine
costing only $35, and was made for
Mr.. Gilley, Of Butternut Valley. A
trial was had with a gallon Of syrup,
and the result was quite satisfactory.
The quantity Of sugar made will
range from two to five pounds per
gallon, and depends Of course upon
the density of the syrup. The color
Of sample shown us was Of the
grade Of C, and we are told that even
better grade was made. The yield
of syrup from the amber cane is a.
bout two hundred gallons per acre.
Assuming that a gallon Of syrup
will make three pounds, the yield
per acre would be equal to 600 pounds
of sugar suitable for family use, and
worth to the producer ten cents per
pound, or $50. Besides this, he has
nearly one hundred gallons ofsyrup
left, worth as much more.
This sugar business is certainly
worthy the attention Of every farm
er. A few acres of cane on every
farm, which requires no greater a.
mount Of labor than the same acre
age in corn, will supply the owner
with an abundant supply Of sugar
and all his necessities will
demand and cut off a large item Of
household expenses. Gradually the
business may be developed, and even
at twenty cents per gallon, it can be
made to yield larger profit than
wheat at Is cents per bushel. IAN

UNDERGROUND TELEGRAPH LINES.

The Austrian Military Review gives
some particulars Is to the underground
telegraph lines which are being laid
from Berlin to the most distant ex-
tremities of the German Empire.
Ihe first underground line com.
pleted was that between Berlin and
Halle, which is to be connected with
three lines from Berlin to Cologne, from
Berlin to Franktort-on-the-M Main, and
rom Berlin to Strasburg. Tue lines
from Berlin to Hamburg aud Kiel,
nom Berlin to BresIau, aud from
Berlin 10 K0nigsberg were then
proceeded with. Tne Berlln-Hamburg
line is provided with Two parallel
cables, each OF seven wires; aud from
Hamburg one Of these cables is contin-
ued 70 Klel. and the other to Wilhelms-
baden and Emden, where 1t is joined on
TO the North Sea cable to England,
The work of laying these
cables is very difficult in mountainous
districts, but along the high roads it is
simple enough, and OF late the opera
ZION has been further simplified
ny the use of machine constructed for
the purpose. This machine, attached

earth along the line of route,
and, having laid the cable in the ground,
