4 DISPATCH from Washington says:
Professor Collier. chemist of the Ag-
ricultUrll Department, has been en-
gagged for several weeks upon "A series
OF experiments with corn stalks and
sorghum for the purpose of deter
mining whether they can be used
proftably in the production Of sugar
He Is satisfied that enough sugar
could be made by American farmers
TO lessen very much and possibly do
away entirely with the demand for
foreign sugar. The sugar obtained
by the professors process is a clear
gain above the insignificant expense
Of cutting, pressing and boiling, for
the corn Is plucked before the stalks
are used and the bogasse is as good
fodder after passing through the mill
as before. Professor Collier viii Ul-
timately submit report to the de
partment.

not as the son OF the ,CaIium MortaOE their
way to the ball they taiked the matter OVER
again, aad one OF them suggested that; per-
l1aps the Marquis, being Campbell, would
refuse to receive Macdonald, in which
case their position would be hnmiliating.
AT the gate they met the Marquis with Ma
5or de Wigton, and, taking them for SER
wants, the HighlaDdman asked II the Marquis
would care TO meet "twa Macdonalds ',9to
call on the Marquis. His Excellency replied
that the Marquis bore no malice to fbe
Maedonalds, ana that Sir John Macdonald
being bis first Minister, it was clear the
Macdonalds had forgiven the, Campbells.

A Funny war.

Philadelphia Bulleiinl .
The comic war between Peru and Bolivia
and Chilli is proceeding with humorous fe-
rocity. The latest adyices tell of terrific
naval engagement between Cbilian ship
and two Peruvian vessels. The fight lasted
through two hours-the twenty guns upon
one side belehing fire and smoke, which
were answered with thunder and birthstone
from the six guns upon the other side. AT
the conclusion OF the dreadful contest the
.Chilan ship withdrew, and sailed merrily
away .oyerthe bounding biilows OF the blue
Pacific, with not a man hurt, not a, spar
splintercd, and not rope disordered. The
Peruvian ships escaped without scratch.
In the mean time, while this awful warfare
was in progress upon the water, military
operations OF an important character were
being conducted unon the land. General
Daza was marching upon Chill at the head
oi an imposing Bolivian army of 1000 in
yincible men. That the Chilians we're wild
with terror at the prospect may be in
ferred from the fact that the General would
strike their territory as soon. as he had
marched bis army over little matter Of
three hundred miles Of desert which lay
between him and his objective point. 1t is
thought that he will reach the eneny's
country somewhere about Christmas II he
does not;get lost in the desert, and il bis
army is not overcome with inconsistencies.
Meantime the Chilian soldiers are resting
upon their arms and probably prey Ing upon
adjacent hen-roosts. The South American
methods Of conducting war are hard upon
nobody but the doctors. A surgeon in the
army or navy down there never has a
chance at anything worse than cholera
morbus or dyspepsia. '.- .. - - XXI
