CHAIRMAN MILLER calls the DEM

CHAIRMAN MILLER calls the DEM
Ocratic state committee together at
Pittsburgh, on March 18th. We
have no objection to the time,
for, as we have said, a little
while earlier or later for the meeting of
the convention makes no difference. But
we do seriously object to the place, be-
cause it is importan: that when the COM
mittee meets the members should be pre-
sent, and most of them cannot go to
Pittsburgh without degree of inconve-
nience which it is not right to subject
them to, and which will keep many of
them away. There is no rhyme nor
reason in appointing the committee to
meet at one end of the state. The place
should he central, so that the time con-
sumed in getting to it should be as equal
as possible to each member. Harrisburg
or Altoona would make good meeting
places, being central; Pittsburgh may
suit the western members, and is very
handy for the chairman; but it does
not suit this side of the mountains any
better than Philadelphia would suit the
west, nor as well. The committee may
not have any business of Importance to
transact, and probably has not but, if
SO, the greater is the hardship of drag
ging the eastern members to Pittsburgh.

New Turbine Wheel.

William Mercer, of Lancaster city, has
received letters patent bearing date JAN
uary 9th, 1880, for new and useful i'm
provements in turbine water wheels. This
is the only center discharge wheel ever
patented. The buckets are so arranged
that they discharge the water at the step
or toe of the wheel, thereby taking the
weight of the discharge water OFF the outer
surface of the buckets. making it the fast
est running wheel in the market. Speed
is power. The construction of the wheel
is very simple. There is nothing about it
to get out of order; it is SO arranged that
the gate cannot be choked with sand, nor
will any rubbish hang in the wheel

PURINI.
The Hebrew Eall Last Night.

AS stated in our issue of last evening,
the world over as the feast of Purim, COM
memorative of the deliverance of Israel
from the destruction decrecd against that
people by Ahasuerus, king of Persia. A
feature of the festal celebration of the day
by the Hebrews of this city was the Purim
ball, given by the Ladies' Hebrew benev-
olent society at Robcrts's hall, North
Prince street, last night, and at which the
ladies and gentlemen of that faith were
present in large numbers. The promenade
was had at O'Clock, and dancing was kept
up continuously until the wee sma' hours,
save for the midnight intermission during
which all present partook Of all elegant
supper served in room adjoining the
dancing hall, and gotten up with the AL
mirable taste and skill that have given to
Mr.. J. C. Spcath his extended reputation
and popularity as successful ca
tcrcr. The programme comprised
many of the most popular of the plain and
fancy dances and was successfully carried
out by Mr.. AL. Rosenstein, master of ccrc-
monies with his efficient assistants. Messrs
S. B. Hirsh, S. Blumauer, NJ. Solomon,
II. Hirsh, N. Strauss and C.. S. Hirsh, as
floor managers. The committee of ar
rangements was composed of Mrs. P. Ber-
nard, Mrs. J. Stein, Mrs. A. Rosenstein,
Mrs. NJ. Gershcl, and Mrs. J. Ostheim !;
and the managers were Messrs. p. Bernard,
J. Stein and A. Adler. The music was
furnished by Taylor's orchestra, which is
itself a recommendation of it's quality, and
in all respects the first annual Purim ball
may be recorded as highly successful
event.

IT is a most ridiculous and illogical po-
sition assumed by a grand jury and dis
trict attorney in New York that bigamy is
not punishable crime in that state, when
the celebration of the bigamous marriage

that a New York man, having wife, may

and as many other countries as he pleases,
marry women in each one of them, bring
them all to New York and live with them
in open violation of all the laws of moral
ity and not be amenable to the criminal
law. Bigamy is continuing crime and
the bigamous relation is the punishable Of

the machinery and power that can be con-
trolled by partisan advocates familiar with
all the devices of political wire-pulling.
1t is time to be done wieh the tomfoolery
about demands of the people and universal

brief period at the innumerable other sys-
TENS of the grand schems of the universe

the latter constellation was changing it's

subsequent statement that it would be

WHITE AND YELLOW Corn" An Old
Subscriber" wants to know "the difference,
if any, in nutriment between white and
yellow corn for man or beast" There is
no specific difference, so far as color is con.
cerned. Yellow corn is better food for
stock because the grain is less flnty and
easier to masticate, and consequently 10
digest. 1t is often noticed in the spring
that horses will leave white corn, while
taking yellow corn freely. Yellow corn is
richer, perhaps, in the essential oils. such
as fusil oil, etc. The idea, however, that
yellow cornmeal is more nutritious than
white proceeds from tho fact that yellow
corn is usually grown on rich and more
Southern soils; white corn is more exclu-
sively at the North. Northern corn is
fiinty and has larger proportion of the
arbon-making products, starch, etc. South.
ern corn is richer in the nitrogeh.yielding
products. Hence the difference is primarily
in soil and climate, and not in color. AT
the North yellow cornmeal is preferred
because yellow corn is raised at the South
but in the South they prefer bread of white
cornmeal, because while it is equally nu
tritious, it is esteemed more palatable
being less crank" in taste. If ground
alike, yellow meal is probably as digestible
as white, but yellow corn being softer, il
makes a finer meal with the same set o
burs than white corn, and consequently
| gives heavier bread in baking.

Sugar Beet.

After many years of trial and failures,
the manufacture of beet sugar promises to
become successful. 1t depends wholly on
the farmers. To retain in our midst the
millions>of dollars sent abroad for sugar, is
desirable. The Portland, Me-, Sugar Fac
tory Company, after several seasons OF
work, still perseveres in inducing the Maine
farmers to produce roots, and is sanguine
Of success. Beets can be grown protitably
if determined attempt is made. Let but
one acre, or less, be planted and we'll tended,
and as soon as that can be grown success
fully, ten acres may be.
Beets need to be put in very early. The
seed should 60 in the ground Immediately
after the last narrowing, and if the seed be
soaked to ensure quick termination, tho
young plants will get start of the weeds.
The writer's practice has been to do this
with all kinds of roots, and as soon as the
green line of the plants can be seen, to
run down the rows with hand cultlvator
that cut on both sides of each row, and
stirs the ground within an inch of the
small seedlings. By keeping the plants
cultivated in this way the middles may be
left without harm for some time, as the
rows are kept distinct, and can be readily
seen when the horse hoe is used.

seed is discovered. A light furrow may be
made and the seed dropped in it SO closel!
as to consume six or eight pounds of sceC
per acre. The rows may be covered by th'
hoe or by roller run over the groun,
across the rows.
No other crop requires more vigorou
start than roots. liberal application, Il

guano, or special root manure being pre-
ferable, will 90 great way to ensure sue

along the rows as they are opened, dro

too close contact of seed and fertilizer
which is often dangerous. Guano needs t

CELERY AND ITs CULTIvATIoN.-No vegt 9
table improves more: on acquaintance than
celery. Farmers object to its cultivation
on the ground that there is too much labor
about it, and this was serious objection
when the fashion was to cultivate it in
trenches but it is found that plow
makes all the trench requisite for the dwarf
and medium varieties, which are really
more crisp, solid and better favored that
the giant. "Boston market celery" can be
grown with little more labor than a crop of
cabbages, and as it adorns the table, tickles
the palate, and tones the stomach, it de.
serves a wider cultivation by farmers than
it has secured.

ment was tride over one.seventh of the
