Alabama has advanced FAR more
rapidly in manufacturing enterprise
within the last twelve months than
any State in the Union. while She is
developing nest wonderful mineral
resources and the work has just fair
ly begun. In Il very short space Of
time q thriving manufacturing town
has sprung up near the old town Of
Oxford, Calhoun county, which now
has the largest population Of any
town in the county, Jacksonville not
exccptcd-it is 10 fact city. The
name of the place is Aniston. Nh
this only shows what enterprise, pluck
and perseverance can aocon Plush.
There is no reason why Louisiana
should take her place beside Alabama
in manufacturing enterprise.

A Fall of black Snow
MT. Pleasant. Pa. Times.


Persons from Laurel Hill report ..
queer story from that section. A gentle
man from there remarked that they had a
fall of black spow last week. The snow
fell to the depth ofan inch, and instead of
the usually white, daky element it was
dark and sooty III color Immediately
following the descent Of the snow fami-
lies residing in the neighborhood we're
attacked with sore throat and the young
or portion with measles. The theory adj
yanced is that the smoke, scot aud other
impurities from the hundreds Of coke
ovens ID this vicinity had been collected
in the atmosphere aud BY an unusual dl-
rect,on Of the wind had been driven to
Laurel Hill and fell, mingled with q
snow.storm. That the measles and sore
throat tina. followed was due to the fact
of these sooty particles collecting and re-
tanning germs ofthe diseases in this place
and vicinity, and communicating the at
mosphere where they fell.

The balance Of trade in favor Of the
United States for the calendar year OF 1880
is shown by the Buresu Of Statistics to
have been $780,, s46. 4o7, a falling off from
the previous year Of nearly seventy mill
lion dollars. This falling off is due to
the immense importation of merchandise,
which was larger than at any time in the
history of the country. Since the return
of prosperity we have been buying abroad
more than ever before. and the articles
purchased, withthe exception of tea, coffee
sugar, and = few other staples, We're al.
most exclusively luxnries, of which orna-
ments for the household and persons
made up very large part. The ilnporta-
ton Of expensive fabrics for ladies' rear
was unprecedented, and the decorative
art mania has stimulated the foreign
trade to 4 remarkable degree. While the
exports were larger than ever before, and
the increase was about fifteen per cent
over 1870, II did not keep peace with the
Increase in imports. The increase in inns
ports was $1ss 200. o37, aud the increase
In exports was 3124, 400, 015.

sorghum Sugar.

Among our imports one of the most ex
pensive items is sugar. We sead abou,
$75, ,0OG out Of the country annually
for this article alone. Commissioner LIE
Due still insists that we might as well
save most of this money, and his opinion
is sustained by Chemist Collier, Of tho
Agricultural Bureau, and Prof. Barefoot,
of the Deseret Museum, Salt Lake City,
and other scientific gentlemen who pro-
fess to know all about the subject. Mr..
LIE Due pins his faith to sorghum. Very
encouraging accounts have been received
from people who made sugar from sorgh-
UNI last year. The average per acre OBJ
tained throughout the United States was
166 gallons of juice, the syrup weighing
from II to 10 pounds per gallon, out Of
which there should be obtained at least
six or eight pounds of sugar. Persons
experienced in the business lave raised
as high as 500 gallons to the acre, but
800 gallons is quite within possibility rs
a crop on proper soil with ordinary sea-.
son and good cultivation. This would
give 1890 pounds Of graduated sweet
ness. The sugar is capable of making
the highest grades, according to LIE Due
and Collier and Barefoot. The cane will
produce about as much in one latitude as
in another, taking it in the climate where
it will ripen. There is not much differ
ence between the sorghum and the sugar
cane as TO yield. Planting should COM
mence as early as corn, and the ground
placed in thorough cultivation, fully
broken, we'll narrowed and smoothed
The moce of cultivation is not different
from that of corn. But Mr.. LIE Due
warns sorghum ralsers not to plant on
clay soil; q sandy, lealny soil Is best, and
new ground is preferable to old. The
prospect is good for large crop through
out the country next season. Mr.. LIE
Due complains that Congress has moi
given him half chance in his experl--
ments with sorghum. He would like to
undertake sugar making on an extensive
scale, with the best machinery ard plenty
of room and nobody to interfere. If
this country can save $50 900 600 by pro-
ducing first-class sugar from sorghum,
the effort should certainly be made. New
erthcless, Congress should not givs Mr..
lie Due too much rope. Others can ex-
pertinent as well as he, and probably with

A French chemist claims to be able to
create thunder storms at pleasure, each
one having an area of six miles square.
1t is hoped be will be suppressed before
this secret is made known to the public
If the people generally were to possess
snch gift, the thunder storms would ay-
ersge at least one a day all the year
round A Sunday School couldn't have
xpicnic without some mean member of
the opposition church bringing down a
thunder storm upon their heads. This
wouldn't be 80 bad, however, for Sunday
School picnics are accustomed to such
things: bnt imagine how it would be
during Presidential campaign! Itwould
be impossible to have torchlighs pro-
cession without having thunder storm
at the same time. The Democrats would
make it unpleasant for the Republican
turn-outs, and the Republicans would
drench the Democratic demonstrations.
The French chemist can't be swept out of
existence a minute too soon.
