AMBER CANE SYRUP.

rs follows on this subject:
: Much appears from time to time in
the agricultural columns Of your paper
concerning the growth Of the sugar
cane and the manufacture Of syrup.
Such info, nation is Oftentimes valua-
BILE and we'll enough rs far as it goes.
But having raised your cane and con-
verted it into syrup, some idea of the
market to be found for such q product
might with propriety be brought under
discussion. am given to understand
that refiners refused to handle the syr-
up, as profitable undertaking, claim
ing the average quality of the syrup not
up to the standard required. Again,
syrup brokers of our large cities, where
we must look for our wholesale demand,
offer but 25 to 30 cents per gallon for
the best quality. Our wholesale west
ern houses, at least those of St. Paul
and Minneapolis, refuse to handle it.
Where then, can one hundred, two hun
dred, or three hundred barrels of good
quality syrup meet ready sale and at
remunerative figures? There may pos
,ibly be something in the amber cane
that will justify engaging in it, but as
| am informed the raising Of the cane
with the expectation Of producing :.
profitable product, would result only in
disappointment to those who embark
in it. Yours truly.
TO which the Agricultural editor re-
plies:
So far as the syrup itself is concerned,
we doubt if there will be a market for
all that is grown. It is III the produc-
tion of sugar that cane growers must
look for their profits, toward this end
I'LL our skill should he directed. We
are in receipt of 4 private letter fr,m
Mr.. Kenney, of Morristown, in which
he says: II have produced sugar this
year by the ton," although he ,ys the

the problem successfully, however,

PROPERTY AND INTELLIGENCE:

many Republican papers are with Thur
man and endorse the maxim, while they
claim that it Injuries his political pros

We arc not surprised to hear Thur
man say this. He has been, from the
day lie entered public life, Southern
aristocrat, living North. He married
aSouthern lady, and during the war was
IN ardent sympathizer with the South.
Nor are we surprised that Republican
papers should endorse what he says.
The Republican party has become the
party Of the capitalists. gold specula-
tors and heavy property owners, who
do rule the land, however much the peo-
pie may think their votes rule.
Neither intelligence nor property nor
both together ought to rule. Suffrage
Is a universal right, and men and wc-
men, as such, ought to rule, and will

DEATH OF BAYARD TAYLOR.


Cable dispatches of the 10th announce
the death of Bayard Taylor, Minister
to Berlin, at o'clock of that day, of
dropsy. The German papers pay a
high tribute to his character. In fact,
they may claim him, to some extent, as
one of them, since he married Ger
man lady and was an enthusiastic al
mirer of the German people and of Ger
man literature.
During tho past twenty-five years
probably no American writer has en-
joycd so wide u popularity among the
people generally. His career has been
= source of constant inspiration to
young men. Beginning as printer
in country office in Pennsylvania, lie
worked his way up from the case and
achieved u reputation as the foremost
traveller and writer of travels in his
day. While still a young man he had
the pluck to set out and see Europe on

IMMIGRATION TO MINNESOTA.

xAXl0RATION TO MINNESO1A.
Reports in the St. Paul papers say
that the edition of 10000 copies of the
Immigration Pamphlet is exhausted
and Secretary Bond thinks that to sup.
ply tho demand in all languages for the
year 1879, at least $50, 900 copies will be
required. The Secretary receives letters
not only from every State in the Union,
but from all parts Of Europe, and also
south America, Central America, Aus
tralia, and Mexico. Especially from
the older States Of the Union, are The
inquiries pouring in asking for infor-
nation concerning our great wheat
growing country"
A large immigration is anticipated
next year, and we should not be sur
prised if 1870 should be the banner inn
migration year to the Northwest.
All We need is to make the advant-
ages Of the Great Northwest known to
turn tho tide of immigration in this d.
rection. On this the ADVANCE has in
sistel from the first, and we have had
frequent occasion to comment on the
niggarlly policy Of our State Govern
tneat and our railroads in failing to
print and circulate such information.
The appointment of an Immigration
Board last winter and the issue of the
pamphlet was a move in the right di-
rection. but the meagre supply Of 90
600 copies is exhausted. We hope the
legislature at the coming session will
see the Importance Of an adequate ap.
proprirtion for this purpose, and that
Minnesota will no longer lag behind
Kansas, Missouri, and other States in
making her magnificent advantages
known to the world.

After a japanese lover has proven
false to his VOWS, the deserted maiden
rises at about 2 O'Clock in the morning,
and dons a white robe and high sandals
or clogs. Her Golf is a metal tripod, in
which are thrust three lighted candles;
around her neck she hangs a mirror,
which falls upon her bosom; in her left
hand she carries a small straw figure
the efigy of her faithless lover-and in
her right she grasps a hammer and nail,
with which she nails it to one of the
sacred trees that surround the shrine.
Then she prays for the death of the
traitor, yowing that il her petition he
heard she will herself pull out the nails
which offend the god by wounding the
mystic tree. Night after night she
ONE to the shrine, and each night
she strikes in two more nails, believing
that every nail will shorten her lovers
life, for the god to save his tree, will
surely strike him dead. 1t is a curious
illustration of the hold superstition yet
has on the Japanese mind.

An Old Man 10 be Hung.

Lester Brotherton, sentenced to be
hanged at Auburn on the 18th, for the
murder Of one Moon, is a decrepit old
mar of so years. Moon was on
in-law, and had caused the incarcera-
tion of Brotherton in State Prison on
IN infamous charge, in order, as is now
generally believed, that he might get
his property. 1t does seem that hang
ing is about as bad a use as n man of 80
years can be put to. and we are glad
that an effort is being made for a COM
mutation. Cayuga is getting a reputa-
tion as the great hanging county of the
State, but it certainly can afford to
spare this wretched old man, who can
not cumber the earth much longer AT
best. Hanging ought toIbe "played OUT
in its application to octogenarians.

years passed in fruitless efforts TO get

Learning the Sky.

1t is a strange thing how little PEOPLE
in general know about the sky. 1t is
the part of creation in which nature
has done more for the sake of pleasing
man, more for the sole and evident
purpose of talking to him and teaching
him, than any other of her works. and
1t is just the part in which we least
attend to her. There are not many of
her other works in which some more
material or essential purpose than the
mere pleasing of "a is not answered
in every part of their organization; but
every essential purpose of the sky might
as far Us we know, be answered, if
once in three days or thereabOnts, a
great, black, ugly rain-clOud was broken
up over the blue, and everything well
watered, and so left blue again until the
next time, with perhaps film of morn
ing and evening mist for dew. But,
instead of this. there is not II moment
of any day of our lives when nature
does not produce scene after scene,
picture after picture, glory after glory,
working still upon such exquisite and
constant principles of the most perfect
beauty, that it is quite certain it is all
done for us, intended for our perpetual
pleasure by the Great Being who made
all, all worlds.

The Will of Watt.

James Watt, the famous English en-
gineer, did one a~ggravating thing. In
one of the upper stories of an old man
sion in the suburbs of Birmingham, he
had his workshop, and by his will it
was enjoined that the room and its con-
tents should not be disturbed. So the
room remains to this day as Watt left
it; and in it are various cabinets and
drawers filed not only with the finest
examples of Wedgwood's plaques, but
with priceless designs and moulds,
many of which are by Flaxman, who
was one of Wedgwood's friends, and
helped essentially in the models from
which Wedgwood worked. From a
merely mercantile point of view, the
value of these finished and uninish-
ed works must he immense.

How He Justified nimselr.

The Reading pa Times, of the 18th
instant says: "An amusing incident
occurred in a church near Sellersville,
Bucks county, on Sunday. The min
lister was preaching in German, and de-
livering a very interesting discourse
when he was disturbed by two young
men whispering III the gallery. Finally
lie stopped and suggested to them that
II they wanted to talk he would cease
and allow them to say what they
wished, but that their whispering an
noyed him. One of them had presence
of mind, and arose and informed the
preacher that his friend could not I'M
derstand a word of German, and that if
lie did not translate it to him he would
lose all the valuable discourse. This
completely took the wind out of the
sails of the minister. Though it is
pretty certain that the two men were
talking about something else, the aSsur-
ance of the whisperer brought him out
first best"
