GONE TO SEE THE WoRLD.-On Monday last
James Megatiin, son OF Joseph Megafiin, OF this
city, and Matthew Murray, lad about James,
age, Is years or thereabouts, started for the
great west without consulting their parents.
Their money was procured by James, who earned
it by work with scroll saw and in other ways
They went west on Charley Whcclcr's train on
the Rock Island road, buying tickets for La Sale,
where they again bought tickets for Davenport.
Wheeler, suspectng something wrong, put a
man in the seat behind them to find out their
plans; but was unsuccessful. Wheeler says
they were the sharpest pair of lads he ever car.
red. At Davenport Wheeler saw them buy tick
cts for Omaha, but was not able to head them
of, and nothing more has been heard Of them.
From later development at home, he thinks the
objective point is Denver, and appropriate steps
were taken to look after them there. Their moth
ers have been about distracted about them, nat.
urally; but the boys are evidently bright enough
to take care of themselves for while at least,
and no harm will probably come to them.

Mr.. j. r. Shaver left with us on Thursday sam
Piles of amber cane sugar, which are now TO be
seen by all interested at Osman " llapeman's
bookstore. The cane was grown and the sugar
extracted in Illinois. One sample is from Mag

Drown sugar" of the groceries. These, we be
lieye, are the first specimens shown here OF am
Der cane sugar-an article making not little
stir in the northwestern states, and farmers and
CAPITALISTS are invited to call and see them. Mr..
Smith, who made the Magnolia sample, predicts
that inside of ten years Illinois will make all her
own sugar and have it good too. The maker OF
the Crystal Lake specimen made last year twotons
Of the same sugar, which was sold in Chicago,
Mr.. Shaver was informed, at 10 cents per pound.
The matter is worthy of attention
Along with the sugar will be seen a specimen
of American jutc, made from the velvet weed,
well known here as an abominable pest on many
of our farms The fiber is white, fine and strong
strong enough for the best quality OF rope, fine
enough il is said to use with silk. 1t is curious
how these pests of the farm sometimes prove

print is the abutilon avicennG which has at
tracted attention of late in the New Jersey board
of agriculture And to Mr. Samuel C.. Brown,
Esq, secretary Y. J. bureau of statistics, Mr.. s.
Warehouse, Of St Louis, one Of the u. 5, COM
nissioners to the Paris Exposition, writes con-
corning the weed
The abutilon avicennT, the cultivation (which
YOU have so forcibly recommended seems sus-
ceptible OF development into a source of public
wealth. The plant grows throughout the west
n wild and rank luXuriance. 1t has the spirit
and capacity Of conquest. With invasive march
il has taken possession of large tracts OF land.
Its tenacity of life and rapid spread render its
cultivation far easier task than determination.
There are TODAY, in the suburbs of st. Louis,
stalks of abuton eight feet in height. 1t Is
claimed that the fiber is superior to hemp in
yhteness strength, durability and cheapness of
production Unlike Indian iute, abutilOn needs
no naturalization. To the manor born, it eXhib
its stubborn determination 10 occupy its heri
tagc.
Mr. Warehouse argues the need Of legislative
bounty upon the inventor Of the best process of
disntegrating the fiber, the old system being too
slow and costly. The value Of such process
and of the cultivation OF the velvet weed can be
appreciated when we told that the cost Of
foreign fibers imported into the L. 5. is more
than $50 coo, 0OO all Of which America could sup
rly from her own western states.
