A Monster Sugar Refinery.

The greatest sugar refinery in the
world (writes a California correspond
ent) is now under construction on tide
water, San Francisco. The brick build
ing, facing deep water in South San
Francisco, will be 4OOx150 feet, and -
stories high GAO feet). A salt water
supply of 5000 gallons a minute is
drawn from the bay, by tunnel, for the
monster condenser. By March next it
will be finished, at cost of 81 1850, 900.
Its yearly capacity will be go, 900 tons of
refined sugar. Claus Spreckles is the
master spirit. He got congress to make
a treaty of reciprocity, by which Sand
wich Islands raw sugars are admitted
free of duty. He promised, also, to
quiet all the opposition that was arrayed
against the treaty, and he has done 80.
He has now thirty vessels employed (all
built here) plying between the islands
and San Francisco. He has planted
sugar cane on large scale on islands
hitherto wild and uncultivated. He has
tapped the mountains, and every acre is
irrigated. He buys all the native pro-
ducti0n

The Comet! He is on his way,
An,, singing as he flies;
The whizzing planets shrink before
The spectre of the skies,
ALI =! well may regal orbs burn blue,
Aud satellites turn pale
Ten million cubic miles of head,
Ten billion leagues of tall
On, on by whistljng spheres of light
He flashes and he flames;
He turns not to the left nor right,
He asks them not their names;
One spurn from his demoniac heel
Away, away they fly,
Where darkness might be bottled up
And sold for "Tyrian dye.''
And what would happen to the land,
And how would look tho sea.
If in the bearded DEVILS path,
Our earth should chance to be?
Full hot and high the sea would boil,
Full red the forests CLEAN;
Methought saw and heard it all
In a dyspcptic dream!

THE CAUSE OF DEATH.

The autopsy on the President body
lasted about three and i half hours. One
ut the gentlemen present makes the fol
lowing statement III regard to it:
The bah WAS not found until the vari
Gus parts of the abdomen were explored
and cut a>.n,ler The bail in its course
broke the eleventh rib, fractured The
spinal column. but did not tunch the
spinal cord. 1t lodged two and Il half @.
three inches directly 10 the left of the
spinal column III the mesentcry. The
channel which has hitherto been sup
posed to be the track OF the ball proved
20 be Il pus cavity formed by tie bur
rowing of the pus downward.
The cathe1cr used by the surgeons is
believed to have bent upon itself, deceiv-
iIig the surgeons in regard To the depth
of the wound There was large alb
Sccss between The liver and the gall duct.
This ahSccSS was not connected with the
track of the wound or the channel formed
by burrowing. On each OF the kidneys
was a small abSccSS. The lungs. espc-
cially the right one, were badly diseased.
J large amount of puS flowed freely from
the bronchial Tubes, while by cutting
into the tubes a considerable amount of
puS was discovered iii little inctaStaIic
assesses: there was Durulent infiltra-
ton of both lungs. This pus was quite
healthy. There were no Assesses III he
liver itself. but thoS, in the kidneys were
metastatic or pynmic. There were ad-
hesions of the lungs to the chest wall at
the upper part of each lung. showing a
previous pleuriSv: whether it antedated
the shooting the examination did not
show. The intestineS were very adher-
ent one to another. showing the exist
euee Of former peritonitis. The absress
in the right kidney Wa& not opened. The
rigors from which the President has been
suffering for a few days were probably
caused by the assesses between the liver
and the gall duct.
The authority from which this infor-
nation is gathered says that it proves
the presence of pyTmia. Dir. Bliss. on
the otl.er hand, says that while there
were septic conditions there was no
py;rmia.
