THE MISSING BOYS REMAINS
FOUND AT LAST.

The remains OF the lost child,
Stanton Biery. were found last
sunday morning. January 80, by
Mr.. d. G. Fauntleroy, about mise
from the Galloway place, and 400
yards from the Military road. The
skull and few disjointed bones
were ell that was left to be gather
ed up for burial.
There is no doubt that he died
from exposure the first night he
was out, November 21st, as during
that nigh. q heavy rain was falling,
and the wind was blowing cold
from the North. Although he WIS
about half a mile north OF the point
where be should have come out to
the Military road, it does not ap-
pear that be thought himself lost,
if one may judge from the evidence
about the remains. That he lost
considerable time is clear from the
fact that he was SO short distance
from Lis starting point. 1t is mani
fest that be was not confused or
bewildered, from the fact that his
actions indicate deliberation. He
selected comfortable seat, some
what elevated, under a large lean
ing pine tree, sheltered from the
wind, and placed walking stick
up against the tree on ole side Of
him, and bundle on the other
side. There is no reason to doubt
that he fell asleep, and never re-
gained consciousness. While it is
true, the remains were about ten
fee. from where he was sitting and
where his hat lay, it is also obvious
that the body could not have been
devoured by animals. without nov
ing it at least that distance. 1t is
also reasonable to suppose that if
he had been in distress, he would
have attracted the attention of psr-
sons passing along the road.
This much is all that will proba-
bly, ever be known as to the man
ner of his death. The lass is q sad
and crushing one to his parents,
for Stanton was an affectionate,
faithful and conscientious child.

The sugar production OF the
world is estimated by Mr.. Ware,
from statistics, to be about 12.OOO,-
OOO, 900 pounds year. OF the total
production, about three fourths is
derived from the sugar-eane, and
the other fourth chiefly from the
sugar-beet. The United States pro-
duce only about one-seventieth OF
the total product. the same being
derived chiefly from the sugar-cane
cultivated in Louisiana. Beet sugar
is almost exclusively produced IN
Europe. the following countries in
the order named being the chief
producers of sugar from this source:
France, Germany, Russia, Belgium,
Australia, Holland, Sweden an
Italy.

The bill of Representive Kasson,
providing for tariff commission,
composed of nine civilians, will
soon come mp before Congress for
action. The object of the bill is to
amend the present tariff laws. II
such commission is appointed, we
hope that the agricultural interests
of the country will be fully repre-
sented. particularly the cotton and
sugar industries of the South. The
tariff laws have too long been
run in the interest Of capitalists.
and it is high time now that the
government should undertake to do
something for the projection of the
agricultural aud laboring classes. A
system that only benefits manufac-
turers, at the spense of producers
and consumers. is obviously unjust
to the great lass of the people, and
should be post vigorously amend

other articles Of domestic produce,
