lunch one and dinner six. Tea is dis.
pensed with, excepting the evening
refreshments already mentioned. Mrs
Hayes has no private reception eve
ming, but it is understood that who
ever could, or would wish, to make
her acquaintances, were she situated
in any retired country town and the
wife of the most quiet and private
citizen, can do so now. And thus it
is that they are never intruded apen
by rude, vulgar or inquisitive peo-
Pile. When public reception is given,
large and promiscuous crowd al
ways assembles-passes through the
Executive Mansion and shakes hands
with the Presidential family. All
manner of people are thus represen-
ted. Even ragged beggars have ad-
mittance hen-if they be not drunk
or disorderly-as we'll as Cabinet
Ministers, planters and Congressman.
But, unless public notice is given to
the contrary, Mr.. Hayes family is his
own and the White House is his cas-
tie as much as yours or mine are re-
spectively ours; aud for this very
reason, no one is tempted to go there
who is not fitted to associate with
them by means of natural gifts,
breeding or education.
Thus far this season the White
House has been very quiet. Mr.. and
Mrs. Hayes celebrated their silver
wedding lately. The rooms were
decorated handsomely, and general
good time was enjoyed. The clergy

Central Sugar Factories and
Small Farms.
[Opelousas Journal.l

We published an article several
weeks since, showing the quantities
of the different kinds of sugar pro-
duced in the world, and the great
excess of the consumption over the
production of sugar in the United
States, and the consequent conclusion
that, as the production of cane sugar
is confined almost entirely to Louis
lana, there will he always a demand
for Louisiana sugar at comparatively
good prices.
The low pIice Of cotton, and the
uncertainty of the crop, on account of
caterpiilars, have caused many of our
farmers to consider the question of
raising sugar cane. The oDly obstacle
in the way is the large capital and
expense of manufacturing. THE
overcome, sugar farms would become
as numerous as cotton farms. Farmers
of ordinary means can not build and
equip sngar-houses. Along all our
bayous is plenty of wood including
those that run through the prairies.
Fuel therefore is an obstacle only in
the large prairies. If capitalists will
build the factories, in suitable locali-
ties, the farmers will furnish the
cane.
These central sugar factories have
been tested in some of the lower par
islles. 1t is estimated that the aver
age product of an acre of plant canes
well cultivated, OIL fair land, is pigh-
teen tons. " "The average price is
So per ton of 1000 pounds, weighed
at the factory" "In some cases land
and seed cane are furnished by the
factory when, $4 per ton is paid for
the canes. Our prairie lands would
probably not produce SO much; but
small farms well cultivated and ferti
lized-as they could be, by rotation
of crops and stable manure-would
not produce much less than the best
bayon lands. Say they would produce
fifteen, instead of eighteen tons, or
even less; at five dollars per ton for
his cane, delivered at the factory,
without any cost of manufacturing,
would pay the farmer better than any
other product of the soil. Those who
have farms near sugar plantations
with factories already i'll operation
could probably y make arrangements at
once to sell what cane they may pro-
duce. Others, if they will begin to
plant cane, and increase the acreage
yearly, will induce those who have
the capital, to construct sugar facto-
ries, for their accommodation, and
the mutual benefit of all concerned.
We understand that Mr.. Joseph Ed
dy, i'll pursuance of this plan, has al
ready begun to build sugar factory,
a few miles from town, towards Plaq-
uemine Point; and that Capt. Henry
l.. Garland contemplates building one
nearer town. These two will prob
ably, for some time, accumulate all
the sugar farmMs in that neighbor-
hood, and will certainly greatly in-
crease the prodnction of cane there,
We hope others will follow their ex-
ample, and that the farmers will plant
small fields of cane, as an earnest of
la'g ones. III order to induce them
to do it,
