Gen. Buffers Dog.
Washinqto7s Republican,.

Some five or six years ago Butler had
a very fine Siberian bloodhound that he
priced very highly, and which had been
given to him by Boston friend. One
day the dog was missing, and Mr.. But
Ter was very angry. He advertised ex-
tensiyely for Tiger, but for many days
he could hear nothing from his favorite.
AT length the dog was brought home by
a pale young man, and Mr.. Butler will
lingly paid him So as a reward. Soon
afterward Tiger was again missing, and
the same agony was suffered by Mr..
Butler. Again the same young man re-
turned the dog, and Mr.. Butler again
shelled out V. But this time he tied
up the dog and ordered his man to keep
an extra watch on his kennel. In three
weeks that dog was again missing, and no
search that could be made turned him up.
Mr.. Butler had the young man who had
twice found him hunted up by the DO.
lice and accused him of having stolen
Tiger. The charge could not be proven,
however, and then detectives were put
to work on the case. They soon reported
that the dog had left the city. Mr. But
Ter, visiting the Treasury Department,
had a talk with Mr.. Whitley, who put
several members of the secret service on
the track of that dog. First they got a
clue of Tiger away up somewhere in
New York State. Then they heard from
him in: Portland, Me-, and again in In
dianapolis, Ind. They visited many
cities, and the public thought they were
locking for cOunterfeiters and bogus
plates. They were, in reality, after Ben
Buffers dog. But after search of
nearly year they gave up the chase,
and Tiger has never to this day been
heard from.

The cultivation of sorghum cane is
attracting a great deal Of attention in the
Northwest The experiments with this
cane during the last year have been very
satisfactory A few days ago the agri-
cultural bill came up in the lower House
of Congress for consideration. 1t pro-
vides for an appropriation of SIS, 600 for
the purchase of improved machinery
with which to continue the experiments
of manufacturing sugar from sorghum.
This is SIS, 900 more than was approprl-
ated to the same object last yeal In
connection with this feature of the oil
Mr.. Gillette, who appears to be familiar
with the results obtained in the expert.
ments with sorghum cane and cornstalks.
made some interesting statements. He
exhibited samples of sugar produced
from sorghum cane and cornStalks, and
said that the "cost of producing pure
light sugar from sorghum is only three
cents per pound, while the duty on the
same quality Of sugar if imported is g. A
cents per pound; IN other words, the
Northwest can produce pure sugar for
less than the duties upon it to day.
One thirty-fourth part of Iowa
can produce as much sugar
per annum as we now import; in other
words. 1 ,O39, 1872 acres out of IS, 229, 800
acres Of allu7ial lands in the State of
Iowa can produce an amount of sugar
equal to the importation into this coun-
try of that article at cost less than the
duties now paid upon sugar. The i'm
ports of sugar, syrups, ETC., during the
last fiscal year amounted to 1,727. 49,
SIG pounds, and cost, including duties,
$131 ,0OO, 900. The experiments at the
Agricultural Department show an
average product per acre in sorghum
sugar Of / .662 pounds, beside syrup, 800
pounds"
With reference to cornstalks, Mr. Gil
lette said that the experiments were not
so satisfactory because preparation was
not made until too late, but 900 pounds
of sugar, or at that rate per acre, have
been obtained from cornstalks after the
corn was gathered"
Commenting on Mr.. Gillette's state
ments, the New Orleans Times says: eff
the Iowa farmers can produce as much
sorghum sugar to the acre as Mr.. Gillette
seems to think they can, or if they can
get an amount of sugar out of their corn
stalks after the corn is gathered that is
worth twice as much as their corn crop,
they have bonanza in their farms to
which they had better turn their atten
zion at once. Wesuspect, however, that
Mr.. Gillette is too enthusiastic to be
entirely reliable, and that the corn
stalks after the corn is gathered, cannot
be so very much more juicy than dry
clover in hay loft"
1t would seem that if such esults as
are claimed by Mr.. Gillette are to be re-
lied on-if good sugar can be made from
sorghum and cornstalks at three cents
per pound, less than the present duty on
foreign sugar-there would be no need
of government aid for the promotion of
the culture of sorghum and cornstalk
sugar in Iowa.

Onr Foreign Commerce.

The foreign commerce of the United
States, as exhibited in the statement Of
the Bureau of Statistics for January,
shows some fluctuations worthy of no
tice. The excess of exports of merchan-
disc for January, 1881, was $28, 916, ABS,
while in January, 1880. it was 81, 1885,
6s5 ia difference of 81, 1871, 753. This
excess, however, for the present year
Is made up much more from the de-
crease in imports, which amounts TO
$1,000, 698, than from an increase IN
exports. The decrease in imports
of merchandise for the three months
ended with January, 1881, aggregates
SOS, 634, 100, as compared with the same
period in 1S79-'s0, showing a decided
reaction from the excessive increase of
transactions in foreign merchandise.
Still the increase for the twelve months
has been $161, 1852. 500 over that during
the previous twelve months. This is
still $2S, 450, 4OS greater increase in i'm
ports than exports, and shows that the
tendency towards the equalization OF
the two branches of our foreign trade
still continues. The total exports OF
merchandise and specie for the twelve
months ended January 81, 1881. were
1912, 795, 3S7. while for the twelve
months previous they we're $797. RS, 1872,
an increase in exports aggregating
$115, O69, 595 for the year. The increase
in imports for the year aggregates $147,,
$50, IA, showing a total increase in for
eign trade amounting to $262, 724, 734
the aggregate of foreign exports and i'm
ports for the year being 81 ,6SS. 935. 622.

Now, our American youth had an
object in asking the French word
for pigeon. He wanted pigeon for his
supper, and now that he knew what to
