CoNIFERINE M VANILLINE.-Less
than twenty years ago Hartig discover
ed the glucoside, called conifcrine, in
the descending sap of Larir Eur0p9q,
and its presence has since been detected
in all pines and frs submitted to exam
nation. But the importance of the
discovery has only become apparent
since it was found by Tiemann and
Hartmann, in 1874. that coniferine
might be readily transformed into a
kind of acid called vanilline, identical
in composition with the white odori-
ferrous substance in vanilla pods. Thus
the sweet-smelling product of the va
nilla, the fruit of a tropical orchid, can.
by this wonderful discovery of modern
chemistry, be manufactured from the
sap of the coniferous trees of our own
climate. During the last two wears
coniferine has been collected in North
Germany by hundreds of pounds. The
process of manufacture is as follows:
When the various kinds of coniferous
trees are cut down for the sake OF their
reslnous products, ETC., in spring or at
the commencement of summer the
trunks are sawn across, the bark strID-
ped from them, and the sap scraped
from the surface of the wood by means !
of a large blunt knife. The product
thus obtained is at nee placed over a
fire and heated to a boiling point in
order to coagulate the aibuminous sab
stances, and thus clarity the fluid. which
IS reduced by evaporation to about \
of its original bulk. BY being then left
to itself in the cold it gradually DE-
posts crystals of coiferine, while the
mother liquor of these crystals retains
certain saccharine products, the CHIEF
of which is the curious variety of SUGAR
known by the name of pinite. The
price of the product varies from Sl2 to
sl6 per kilogramme ca lb.); and as
the operation of collection and nre-
paration can be easily and economically
performed by women, this industry viii
q another source of income to the
forest )pulation of Germany. A tree
OF Medium size, in vigorous health is
said to yield from seven to nine n,ntS
sap, and each pint of sap contains
about 100 to 125 grains of pure dry
coniferine.
Vanilline is obtained from coniferin,
by beating the latter with sulurnh;c

BAD News FROM STATEsvHLE.-Ihe

BAD News FROM STATEsvLLE.-lhe
Charlotte Obserrer has this piece of IN
telligence:
A gang, the composition of which
was in all respects the same as that
which has Just come to such an lgnoDle
end at Hillsboro, has just been broken
up and in part overtaken at Statesvllle.
Those composing it were two young
white men and a negro. One of the
white men is one Bradford, son of the
proprietor of the ST. Charles Hotel, at
Statesville; the other is II. Nj. Millen,
a son Of the late Rev. S. G. Millen, a
highly honored minister of the Asso-
ciate Reform ed Presbyterian Church,
and one for a term of years president
of Concord (now Simonton) Female
College, at S~tatesville. Several thefts
have been committed within the past
two weeks at Statesville, and suspicion
was aroused that these were the work
of an organized band. Last Tuesday
night a party went to the house of a
man named Stikeleather, who lives
about six miles from S~tatesville, and
who was supposed to have had about
81, SUU IN the mousse, anu ~eHuedNOIcu "
effect a forcible entrance; but the pro-
prietOr brought a shot gun to bear
upon the would-be burglars and put
them 20 flight. Officers went to work
and found that the guilty parties were
the persons named above. Bradford
was accordingly arrested and is nov in
Statesville Jail; Millen fled and has not
yet been arrested; it has not been
learned whether or not the negro has
been apprehended. The most serious
phase of the attempt upon the house of
Mr.. Stikeleather is hat embodied in a
statement since made by Bradford or
the negro, that after they had been
frightened from the house Millen pro-
posed to his confederates that they re-
turn to the charge, saying plainly that
they could easily make way with the
old man and his daughter, these being
the only occupants of the house.
This young man is evidently a very
bad lot. He was in Charlotte a week
or two ago and lodged during that
time at Mrs. Shannonhouse's boarding
house, eventually jumping the town
leaving his board bill unsettled behind
him.

CABBAGE ROT.-The Bio Root. as i

CABBAGE RoT.-The Big Root, as it
is called, is playing sad havoc with the
gardens in tins vicinity. One gentle
man pulled up three barrels of cabbage
which were infected. Hethen covered
the whole face of the ground with salt,
and after hoeing it into the ground,
he planted more seed. We learn that
one of our citizens sent specimens of
cabbage to the Honorable Commits
sioner of Agriculture, but has heard
nothing from them. We suppose Col.
Polk will attend to the matter as soon
as he will fill some appointments to
speak which he has been prevailed upon
very reluctantly, to make. Between
the big root, the cut worm, the bud
worm and the lice, to say nothing of

The constable sold here last Saturday the
crop of a. tenant, previously advertised tor
sale on that day, under an execution for debt.
This is an instance of the unjust bearing OF
the homestead Act, as now construed by our
Courts. It was not the intention OF the
trainers of the Constitution, nor is the Demo-
cratic party responsible for it in any way.
But as the Democrats must assume the re-
sponsbility of correcting this error, they
should allow, through an amendment to the
present Constitution, additional to the pres
ent exemption, five hundred dollars worth of
the product of the soil to the producer, or tif-
teen hundred dollars to be taken in whatever
the person so claiming the homestead, may
choose, without the possessor having any right
to waive or mortgage the same. Such an en-
actment would prove legacy to helpless Wo-
men and children. To say anything in favor
of it's benefits, would be needless. No party
can impair it's privileges without meeting sig
nal defeat. ...... t. =
