The United States Sugar Tariff.

From the Louisiana Sugdrbotot, August 17th.)
Sugar planters everywhere in the South
are naturally quite nervous about the pro-
posed change in the sugar tariff. and fear
that when Congress csmmences tInk >ring
with it that it may be abolished entirely.
We must confess III t we h We little reason
to hope for anything good in this line at the
hands of Northern Democr is. and as the
masses Of the peop G are'conSun,ers instead
of producers of sugar, we h We no doubt
that public sentiment is largely in favor of
admitting sugar duty free.
After all, there is more hopeful aspect to
this question than most have considered. AS
Northern ~refinerS are anxious to have COM
mon sugars introduced at Il low rate, or, if
possible, duty free, it is because they ex-
pect to hold the refined pro-
duct about the present prices: Therefore. in
self-protection, every planter should. as
soon as possible, become his own refiner-
or. in other words, the barbrous open kettle
system should be abolished as soon as posi-
bic, and by making none but refined sugars
a larger yield and better prices will be OBJ
tanned, and thus the producer will be pre-.
pared for any emergency.
Recently We heard a leading sugar plant
er express himself to the effect that he did
not care if they did remove the duty on
sugar. for he thought the excitement about
the sugar tariff, which each year began at
the meeting of the meeting of Congress. the
very time when planters were sending their
crops to market, so seriously effected prices
that the removal of the duty could not
make it worse. 1t was a bug-beaI' which
buyers employed to the detriment of plant
ers. and he wanted to see the question def
nitely settled, one way or the other. He
took view of the case advanced above, that
planters should put themselves on the foot
ing of refners, and he is this season carry
ing out his idea by erecting a vacuum pan
and complete refining apparatus for a GEN.
trail sugar mill.
After all, the central sugar manufacturing
system is to be the salvation Of the South
ern sugar planters. If the sugar duty is re-
moved, this system will enable them to sue
cessfully compete with the tropics. We
have the labor to make the cane proftably
by the ton--intelligent ,ohite labor, we mean
!. while they have not. If sugar should be
reduced to even Ome-hdT its present price,
IA thing not likely, under any circumstance
for sugar consumption and demand are
annually on the incre seq still it could be
proftabIy made here. because the sugar
farmers would then diversity their crops and
raising cane by the ton would pay as well
as any while the manufactures would pay
only what he was able, and all do well.

COREA.

The following is an abstract of the latest news
from Corea under date Yokohama, August IL, 1882:
About five O'Clock in the evening OF July 23d an
organized body of insurgents took possession of
the main thoroughfares in Seoul, the capital of
Corea, aud attacked the royal residence and the
japanese Legation. The latter building they set
on fire, rendering it untenable. Hanabusa Japanese
Envoy. and KondO, consul escaped with some twenty
followers, and Ultimately made their way to jim
sen, a port some fifteen miles distant. Four were
killed, three wounded and several missing. The
survivors obtained a boat and put off to a British
surveying ship in the neighborhood, by which they
were brought TO Nagasaki. As soon as the news
reached Toxic 4 ship of war was immediately or
dered to the various ports of COrea, with instruc-
tions to rescue all imperilled japanese, obtain -
curate information as TO the cause OF the outbreak
and the subsequent events, but to avoid discussion
or anything resembling a dispute. This vessel re-
turned August 4th, and announcing that the
Japanese lost sight of at Seoul had probably been
slaughtered, and that the capital was in u state of
anarchy. OF the royal inmates of the palace the
King alone was spared. His Queen was murdered.
To his heir and the ~latter's betrothed both little
children. poison was forciblv administered Thir-
teen Ministers of State and other high dignitaries
were also slain. These sanguinary proceedings
were said 70 have been directed blythe eX-regentT Tai
in-Kun. He has ALWAYS been a violent opponent of
foreign intercourse, and has for years harassed the
court by his endeavOrs to rouse hO5tilities- The
general and natural belief is that the revolt was
organized by the old retrOSressive party, headed
by the ex-Regent, and was precipitatcd by tie re-
cent extension of foreign intercourse to other ma
tons besides Japan. The GoV2rnm5nt OF Japan
has acted with promptness, and thus far with conf
mendable prudence. A naval and military rendez-
vous has been established at ShimOEoseki, the
nearest port to COrea, a sufficient fleet has been
dispatched to the scene OF disorder, and troops IN
ample numbers are gathered to await the develop
ment of affairs. The intention of Japan Is to call
for a full explanation, and to demand proper salts
faction from the Corean authorities. The repara-
ton must be absolute and unconditional, or war
will certainly ensue.
Since the above was written papers are TO hand
containing q telegram dated Sth inst. from ShanS-
hal, which reports that Corea has agreed to pay
$500. 900 indemnity to Japan and S5O,0O to the re-
latives of the murdered japanese

"LIFE HATH ITS BARREN YEARS"

Life hath its barren years,
When blossoms fall untmelv down,
When ripened fruitage fails to crown
The summer toll: when natures frown
Looks only on our tears.
Life hath its faithiess days.
The golden promise of the morn,
That seemed for light and gladness born,
Meant only noontide wreck and scorn,
flushed harp instead of praise.
Life hath its valleys, too,
Where we must talk with vain regret,
With mourning clothed, with wild rain wet,
Toward sunlight hopes that soon must set,
All quenched in plying dew.
Life hath its harvest moons;
It's tasseled corn and purple weighted vine;
Its gathered sheaves of grain, the blessed sign
Of plenteous ripening bread and pure rich
wine,
Full hearts for harvest tunes.
Life hath its hopes fulfilled;
Its glad fruition, its blest answered PRAYER,
Sweeter for waiting long, whose holy air,
lndrawn to silent souls, breathes forth its rare
Grand speech of joy distilled.

was something unusual; but I spoke to
her as politely as could and offered her
a seat, when the light fell upon her fea-
lures, and notwithstanding the sunken
eye and hollow cheeks, to my consterna-
tion recognized the face of Helen
Linton.
To my relief, however, I found that
she had failed to recognize me. No, she
would,as soon have looked for form
from the tomb as have looked for me at
that place.
She had come, she said, on painful
business. Her father had been very
wealthy man, and had left her large
property, but her husband had been very
dissipated, and having run through with
it all, and finding the family in want, in
an unlucky moment, had committed q
forgery, for which he had been tried and
found guilty, and she had come to me to
plead for his pardon. She told me all
this amid sobs and tears, and finally con-
cluded by prostrating herself at my feet.
Great God! This woman, who once
thought me not good enough to wipe her
shoes upon, kneeling and groveling at
my feet.
1 begged her to rise and be seated, and
1 then inquired her fathers name. She
said it was John Linton. then asked
her if she remembered the old widow
and her son, that once lived in the cabin
on the Forest Road, near Linton Hail.
She replied, with some surprise, that
she did.
Then I stood up.

She eagerly asked me to name it.
1T is this" said I, that you will
teach your children the folly and the evil
consequences of pride; that you will
guard them against its wicked and nefari-
GUS influences through life, and that
your husband will likewise reclaim and
lead different life"
She readily assented to my require
ments, aud in few moments more she
was OF her way home, bearing the joyful
tidings to her little children

"Thihk Of the Dog"

At Cassville, Georgia, we had just
taken seats on the veranda for the usual
smoke and talk when up came two col
ored men who were evidently greatly
agitated One of them made inquiries
for the justice of the peace, and, being
told that he was out of town, he turned
to the other and said:
9TH leave dis case to any of desc
gem'len to decide on. What do you
say?"
"I'll du de same"
1t was a case where one owned dog
and the other owned four sheep. The
sheep didn't care for dog meat, but the
cur hankered after mutton and got it,
killing the whole four. 1t was now q
question of dana yes, and when referee
had been chosen the owner of the sheep
remarked:

Unbounded modesty is nothing moro
