From the Leonard Scott publishing Co.,
New York, we have received Blackwood
for May. 1t opens with the first chapters
of ''Dr. Wortle's School," a new story by
Anthony Trollope, about which we have
some curiosity, for two Of the chapters
were so good as to raise the suspicion, be
fore we saw the authors name, that George
Eliot had commenced again. The stories
of ssBush Life" are as interesting as ever.
From the same Publishers we have the
Edinburgh Review for April. The review
Of Bigelow's Life of Benz. Franklin is in
tensely interesting to an American. To
those interested in the spread of Christian
ity in heather lands, the article on "Mo-
hammedanism in China" will suggest
some painful apprehensions.

The plan for holding the Readjuster Or
ganization together on the congressional
election and leaving it's members free to
vote for the electoral ticket as they please
seems to find more and more supporters
among the Readjuster newspaper. The
Wytheville Dispatch says:
The Readjusters then will be left free to
vote as they wish for President, they will
hold congressional conventions soon after
the 7th July meeting, and will nominate
their standard bearers for congress, and
Readjusters will vote for him against all
Funders. boilers, independents and turn
coats, and will elect him.
The Har risonburg Esprit of the Val
ley'' published at the home of Senator
Paul, endorses the congressional district
plan as proposed by the Hig bland 'Recor-
DER" and adds:
The subjoined editorial, rejecting our
views decidedly On the position of the Re
adjuster party in the Presidential contest
and the congressional elections, we clip
from the last Highland "Recorder,' and
ask for it careful perusal from all of our
thinking friends. Democratic Readjusters
can vote for the Cincinnati nominee, and
still concentrate their strength on Read
justers for Congress, which will keep in
TACT our organization for 1881 when the
work of cleaning out the entire s'Holliday
gangn will be duly celebrated.

He stated in conclusion that as he be-
lieved there was kind of understanding
here that no delegates were to be sent from
Page to either the Conservative or Read

the appointment of any, though in his
opinion it was right that all -re-adjuster
counties, such as he knew Page to be,
should be represented in the re-adjuster
convention to assemble in Richmond in
July next, in order that the party unity

FRIDAY MORNING. MAY %. 1880.

The air is full of conjectures as to the
July convention, both among Readjuster
Democrats and those Democrats who have
already marked out in State convention
their own course with reference to the
PRESIDENTIAL contest. The plan for keep
ing together the Readjuster organization
that just now seems most popular among
that party. as evidenced through their
press, is to let the electoral ticket 90 and
make their fight in the congressional dis
tricts. A course which we presume would
accomplish their purpose. But that is to
be discussed in the State Convention where
it will find some opponents who are in no
way averse to giving the State to the Re-
publicans by nominating different cleo
toral ticket yet pledged to support the Gin
cinnati nominee. With two Democratic
tickets the Grant electoral ticket would
find solid support among Republican Re-
adjusters, the blacks of the State, and its
chances for success would be multiplied
hundred fold. 1t is beyond the range of
possibility that even Gen. Malone. as
highly esteemed as he is by the negro can
carry him from Grant electoral ticket to
a Democratic one, and when his followers
talk Of his ability to do it they utter the
merest folly.
The present mode of conversation about
this state Of affairs by some of the Read
juster Democrats the ssrepent and fall in
behind us' style, reminds us OF some very
similar talk we heard from the other side
before the election. 1t was not then and
is not now the sort of language to address
to men belonging to wing numbering
over fifty thousand strong. Nor is it a
whit more pleasing to hear Democrats of
either wing talk about letting the State go
Republican rather than be party to any
arrangement for the union of the two
wings. The highest duty of Democratic
leader consulting the interest of the Ma
tional Democratic party is to see that two
Democratic electoral tickets are not run
in Virginia. The Readjuster Democrats
who go to the July Convention have that
power in their hands now, though it may
be gone after that body adjourns. We trust
they will consider their responsibility.

and the hunter naturally smiled: but the
secret of their smile they kept to them
selves, and as they logged along up the
banks of the creek the witty hunter kept
the other two in a state of excitement by
his wonderful yarns about trout fishing
and hunting the ssvarmints' that the
mountains above were full of. After a
walk of two miles they came to a spot
where the creek widened into large pond
or small lake. the water of which was as
clear as crystal, and the nimble fish were
sporting about as thick as lccusts, hiding
themselves under the rocks at the near APP
proach of the human step. All around
was solitude, the very sky being shut out
from view by the thickness Of the foliage.

SAND IN SueAR.--I had read that sugar re-
fncrs used bullocks' blood to clarity the
liquor, and in my simplicity asked my friend
where was the bnllocks' blood. He laughed
very heartily at my ignorance, and told me
there had not been such thing used in
tsreenock since he had known anything about
the trade, now over thirty years. What struck
me most was the sand and mud that my friend
showed me had been taken out of the raw
sugar when saw it filtered and that day
registered o vow that would never again be
tempted to buy "real raw sugar for domes-
tic use. ] shudder as | think of the quantity
of mud that must have eaten in my time,
and feel annoyed at having been deluded into
paying penny pound more for the "real
raw sugar i" than / could have bought the
pure refined article for | told my friend
what was passing through my mind, at which
lie again laughed, and said Every one
that comes to me through the refinery says
the same thing. You sometimes hear grocers
charged with putting sand in their sugar.
They really do nothing of the sort. 1t would
not pay them to do SO, even IL they had
mind. If the use of raw sugar were given up
by the public, we would never again hear Of
such an accusation against the poor grocer"
My FRIEND seeing the disgust had displayed
at the sand and mud, took me to the labora-
tory in connection with the refinery, where
be said he would show me even worse than
mud in the raw sugar. lie took small glass
vessel like tumbler into which he put about
teaspoonful of 81 real raw sugar. such as is
sold in the shops, and then poured some water
slightly heated over it. In short time little
specks appeared on the surface, scarcely visi-
BILE to the naked eye, two or three of which
he placed under microscope and babe me
look through it.. To my Amusement / saw
little insects like lice crawling about ask
cd what they were, andwas told that they were
the Acarus sacchdri or raw sugar mite and
that they abound inraw sugar, more especially
in the better descriptions. asked ifthere were
none to be found in refined sugar, and my
friend said no that they were all either re-
tanned in the filter bags or killed during the
boiling. I understand that celebrated
chemist has estimated that theie will be in
pound of raw sugar as many 100000 OF
these creatures. | learned that there were
about dozen refneries at Greenock, turning
out about $50, 900 to 300, 900 tons of soft re-
fined sugar per annum, being more than a
third of all the sugar consumed in Great
Britain. Greenock has great natural advan-
tages for the refining of sugar, having ex-
celent harbor accommodation, where the
largest vessels can discharge the raw ma
ierial, being near to the Lanarkshire coal
fields, having an unlimited supply of water at
a very cheap rate, and a plentiful supply of
