tom of which is made of fine bolling cloth. Here the starch is washed through, ,and lead to large tanks where it is allowed 10 settle. It is next beaten up with caustic soda to sep arate the gluten. and the starch is agaIn allowed to settle in long shal
 low troughs. The starch, washed from all aslharing alkali, is next beat sn up with water into cream and conducted into the converting tubs. The tubs are supplied with coils Of copper steam piping. Here the starch cream is treated with dilute suiphuric acid, and steam Is allowed to bubble up through the mixture from small holes in the copper pipes. This process Of conversion which is called open conversion, is completed in about two hours. There are oth- CT methods of conversion but this is the prevailing one. After conyer- sion, the acid is neutralIzed by mar bic dust and charcoal, and the liquid IS strained through cloth and con veyed to the vacuum pan, and evap- oraied at as low a temperature as possible to the required concentra- ton. If grape sugar is to be made, conversion is not stopped so soon, but is carried on 10 proper point and then conveyed into tanks where the process of solidifcation is completed We have given this much on this subject in order that our readers may be assisted ID the knowledge ol what they have upon their tables as food. The manufactories at which these articles are made are nearly, il not all of them, situated ia the north western states where corn is abundant and cheap, and where greater profits can be realized out oi it's manufacture for,,these uses by far than to undertake to dispose Of i, in the ordinary way. How many people there are that little dream, when they look at the beautiful syr
 up on their tabie,tha it is the pro duct of cheap corn instead of sugar cane.

- THE NATIONAL CRIME.

From an exchange Fe clip the fsl lowing paragraphs from sermon on the subject of Murder the Ma tional Crime" For their apt appli- cation and strong points we com mend them to our readers:
 But another cause of our national crime is hung juries. The majority of hung juries deserve hanging especially the bribed ones. This bringing of any loafng wretch to serve on jury is aR insult to tue stars and stripes of America; an in suit to justice, an insult to human ", and curse to our civilization. Europe winks at the latitudinsrian ism of our laws, and her assassins stalk the streets of our cities, and flood in shoals to Texas and the Westl Why is this? Because they think that our laws are as linn Der as calico, and that ten thousand eau buy any uncertain jury. This whole thing needs iirst-class clean sing. and none but the best judges o. the law should be allowed to sit upon jury. The number of men that sit on jury is no proof of their dealing justice any more than the number of indigenous grasses which state may raise is a proof of it's pasturage. It is the quality of the men which determine their actions.
 Another cause of our national crime, is intoxicstion-drunkeness. The reason why politicians are afraid to tonch this giant evil, outside of personal pecuniary considerations is because intoxicants pay such an enormous revenue into the treasury of the United States. An, Man mon thou srt our god. though child of hell, and the more thy horrid jaws deyour the mere they want to; and so we are to enrich our national treasury at the price of blood, and genius, and moral freedom Great Godl But the men who laid the constitution of this republic in the blood of revolutionary contest, rise from the,r green graves this morn ing, and in their deep sepulchral tones say it shall not be so. Better let every daughters fingers be har- dened, snd sOiIed and stained with honest domestic labor than to enrich our treasury at the price of drunk eRness and murder.

The Kansas City, Fort Scott and
 Memphis Railroad.

Mr. George H. Nettleton, presi- dent and general manager, in com pany with Mir. Wallace Pratt, Gen. G. ". Adams. directors and attor
 neys, \. Erb, director, and several engineers Of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis railway, have been in the city several days on bus mess relative to the interests of tue new road. The main route of the line has been agreed upon, although some portions of it have not yet been perfected iR detail. The total length of the road is ATT miles, some 200 miles Of which, extending from Kansas City to Springfield, Mo, is now in operation, leaving something more than 250 miles yet to be con strncted. Fifty miles of the road east of Sprinfield is now under con tract for building, and the company is receiving estimates for the con struction of another section of fifty
 milss. These contracts disposed Of, there will remain only l60 miles of road to bs placed in the hands of builders. Owing to difficulties pre- sen.ed by the peculiarities of the Arkansas country, several careful surveys were made before suitable route could be determined upon. the surveys are now practically com pleted, however. and there remain no obstacles to the early construct ion ot the road, except those incl dent to the mere building or the road, the supply of capital being am pie, and the righ. of way being as sured If the weather and other conditions prove favorable it is ex- pectsd that considerable progress will be made duriag the coming winter and spring, and at all events. it is confidently predicted that the entire line will be in operation early in lSS3-Memphis Avalanche, lst.

THE GAZETTE ON TEMPER
 ANGIE.

The Gazette's treatment of the temperance question is characteris- tic of the ease with which she can construct bark to take her out of difficulty, whether the craft is ad mired or not.
 Last winter, while the question was under discussion in the legisla- ture, her position was such as to call forth commendation aud praise from the temperance element The Tenn perance Banner even went so far in it's enthusiasm as to give her col umu of his very best eloquence. Her position was taken as a time when the most strenuous efforts were being made by the friends of tenn peranee far prohibition. Temper ance was the almost predominant theme with prohibition as the ulti. matuu sought The Gazette, fash- ed no doubt with the idea Of its as- socistion with Judges Caldwell, Cy- pert and Mack-with McVeigh. Grace and host of others in so good cause.-the sky all clear, and no cloud in sight, forgot completely the dangers of the territory in which her utterances would place her. When the excitement had passed away, however, and things had as stunned their dead level again, and matters of business came in for con sideration instead of matters of state, the danger appeared, and how to grapple it was the question. She grapplei It, however, and with a strategy that reminds one of the woman in Tennessee who lived in disputed territory during the war. Wishing to save her yaluables, she placed them in bundle behind her, and m ounted her horse. and started ] for safer retreat. She had not gone far, however, when she was met by company of bush vhaekers. whom the dust obscured 50 that she could not guess their identity. h her perplexity, happy thought struck her. She threw her leg on the other side of the animal, and drew her dress skirt dexteriously over the bundle. "What side ara you on," demanded the lesders Both sides, sir, don't you see,' she answered. Her strategy was sue cessful. The men acknowledged the sell, and permitted her to pass. We de not know what that bundle of the Gazette's contains-whether patronage from certain quarter 1 or nos, or whether it was the sole cause of the shifting of her position but we do knew, from the files of the paper, that she has had leg well down on each side of this ques- tion, and certainly it could not have been conviction that brought about such singular performance. An, that Gazette, what dexterious old lady she is. In much to be commended. In some things, hard to understand.
