In an article on "Corn Sugar. in the
issue of August 80, III, gave an account
of the factory at Freeport, ILL.,, which had
been converted from beet sugar factory
into corn sugar or syrup factory, and as
this is matter of public interest, again
call attention to this increasing industry.
So far as can learn, very little corn SUI
gar or glucose has been made at this fac
tory, but large quantity of syrup or mo-
lasses has been manufactured. The pro-
prietors haYe been very reticentin regard
to their business, claiming that their pro-
cess is, in part, a secret, known only to
themselves, which they do not wish to di-
vulge, and very little has been published
in reference to their affairs. They haye
already commenced making extensive
Improvements on the factory at Freeport,
and purpose increasing its capacity from
500 bushels of corn per day to 1000 or
2, 500 bushels day, making 40 or $50
barrels of molasses daily, which will re-
quire total consumption of 100000 bush
els of corn each year. will leave it to
some of your mathematical readers to es-
innate the exact number of buckwheat
cakes that may be spread with the molas-
ses made from 600, 900 bushels of corn

The american Agricultarist, in its notes
on swindlers. gives the following timely
warning to farmers.
There is a set of swindlers whose ope-
rations are especially directed towards |
farmers. 1t is no reflection on the intel
Hgence of farmers that this is so. These
rascals know that all kinds of fish are not
to be caught with one bait; hence they OPP
crate upon clergymen, doctors, mer-
chants and farmers, each in a different
manner. It is safe to predict that there
is a new set of traps ready this Spring to
catch farmers. Of late. years the agency
dodge has been played successfully, and
it has already been started thus early in
the season. These swindlers are all after
one pattern. A glib-tongued chap. No.
1, wishes to establish an agency for
some erinkum. 1t may be stump-puller, a
machine for grinding the knives of now
| ing machines, it may be ehurn power,
or spring bed. Whatever it is, chap No.
j, somehow, or in some way, eontrives to
get the signature of the farmer. Here is
where the trouble begins. We have eau
toned and reiterated the caution: s'Farm-
ers, be careful what you sign," but this
does not seem to be enough; no matter
how much care is exercised, the smooth
tongued chap No. l is usually too
much for the farmer. So we say to farm
ers-doa't act as agents for anything, but
if you will not heed this, and the tempta-
ton as to profit is too great to resist, and
you will disregard warnings, we beg OF
you, farmers, don't sign anything. You
may be asked to agree to become an
agent, you may be asked to give your adj
dress, so that the sample machine, to bt
sent free, will come all right; you may
be asked for merely your post-office ad
dress. Take our adyiee-which is thu
same as Puneh's advice to young people
about to marry-don'tI don'tI! Don't, dt
; not-pray refrain from signing your nam
to anything whatever. Observe this ant
: : you are safe. Sign your name on an,
pretence to anything whatever, and yol

Among a number of letters to the late
Joshua r. Giddings, published in the
Cleveland Herald, is one from Horace
Greeley, under date of April oath, 1947,
in which he urges the nomination of Tom
Corwin by the Wings for President, and
william H. Seward for Vice President.
The Taylor hnrrah, he said, must have
its run, and thenit would be seen how
much of it was manufactured gas. Old
Rough and Ready was writing t'lots of
letters that would probably kill him, If
the Mexicans did not" AS for Cerwin,
while he urged him for the Presidency,
he pronounced him timid man, and more
afraid of getting his feet wet than any
body he Greeley knew. But the great
journalist was out of his reckoning. cold
Zacll'' was the idol of the hour, and the
hurrah not only nominated, but elected
him. Mr.. Greeley did not sufficiently
take into account the fact that wars de-
velOp commanders who, at their success
full termination, become popular ideals
for whom nothing short ofthe Presidency
is good enough. Washington, after the
war of the Revolution; jackson, after
that of 1872; Taylor, after the Mexican
war, and Grant, at the end Of the great
civil conflicts became Presidents. When
our civil war opened, Hawthorne, the
novelist, then at Washington, bemoaned
the fact that we should be under the rule
of bullet-headed Generals for forty years
thereafter. A man who has commanded
armies and led the troops to victory,
stands much better chance of the Pres
idency than one who gets himself elected
Governor of Ohio.-C Cincinnati Commercial.

Talk about the inequality of the sexes /!
Yes, there is an inequality, and great
one; and it is never more forcibly shown
than in hailing a horse car. A man may
run and whistle and yell at the fast re-
treating car, the conductor intently gaz-
ing at the drivers back, and no one on
the street condescends to second his vain
attempt; but let woman raise but the
tip of her finger, and every man and boy
in sight will set up a scream that rivals
calliope concert, and one that might pen
citrate the duh cold ear of death, and
sometimes reaches the conductors ears.
Yes, there is an inequality.

symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

SYMPTOMS of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge
l of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fre-
quently extends to the top Of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation IN
the back part. There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done A slight, dry cough
| is sometimes an attendant The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER tc

One Happy Man.
Sept. l, 1879.

We saw one happy man yesterday, vete-
ran of the war, a member of the 10Th Maine,
Col. Dyer's regiment. He had seen the Coils
name in nomination for county Office in
Somerset county, and the happiness was in
the fact that he was on the republican ticket.
"The Col. was war democrat. He voted
for George b. Mcclellan for President, when
the soldiers voted in the army. When the
regiment voted at Martinsburg. said the Col
Boys vote for who you've mind; am a
democrat, and vote for George b. McClel-
Ian Col. Dyer is right honest and good
man, and | am glad he is on the republi-
can ticket" That is what the veteran said !;
nobody will be disposed to make or ask for
any discount on his estimate of Col. Dyer's
character. We are equally pleased with him
that the Colonel is on a republican ticket,
and we doubt not that the Colonel would be
glad to know that his whilom orderly is a
wide-awake republican.

the effect of a fusion victory this fall:
"lf victory crowns our efforts chill will

not relieve them from. Only once more can
it occur as in 1876, when one of the noblest
and purest Of patriots was elected by the pco-
pie, and basely defrauded of his right. | ask
you not to condone that shameful blot on
American civilization. All know that Sam
uel j. Tilden was fairly elected President,
and all know how he was cheated ont of his
seat l ask You if his behavior since that
time has not been such as to warrant that he

casting fusion vote next month. to aid in
the elevation of Mr.. Tilden to the Presi-
tial chair next year.
