Sugar From SORGHUM.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Commission
er of Agriculture has issued a circular-letter
to the manufacturers of sugar from sorg-
hum, beets and other r-producing plants,
in the United States, setting forth the re-
suits of sorghum culture. Experiments
made by the Department in 81. from l35
acres of cane there were obtained 2,977 gal
Ions of syrup and 165 pounds of sugar at a
cost for cultivation and manufacture of S.
557. In commenting upon these results the
Commissioners says: The manufacture OF
sorghum at the Department has been found
to be expensive and unsatisfactory. While.
therefore, such scientific investigation as
is deemed necessary will De continued the
experiment of manufacturing can better be
conducted by those who have thus far furn-
ished us all the valuable information we
have, and this work l refer 10 the manufac-
turers themselves from whom is solicited an
account in detail of the work. The Commits
sioners say the returns when received will
be submitted to a competent Committee tor
examination. and in order to compensate
the manufacturers for the work of making
these returns, propose TO pay for the tWA
best returns 81, 200 each. Each return must
be sworn to. For the two best returns OF
the process of manufacturing beet sugar in
this country 81 200 each will be also paid"
The "Socisl Gossip of tie Washington
Republic has "seen girl, who ought to
know better, whistle to car, and swing
herself on, before the driver could stop his
horses" That is very naughty indeed, but
it would be safe wager that that girl en-.
joys life, and would be very pleasant COM
pany. The girl who would stand on the
corner, and do nothing more energetic than
gently wave her paraeol, though hundred
cars went by without the conductor paving
the slightest attention to her, would have
the proper dignity and reserve of her sex,
but the first girl would be the girl for pic
mic, If not for wife.

The speech most Pleasing to children.

A class of children in an uptown public
school on the eve of their last Summer va
cation had become wearied with speeches of
the length that verbose committeeman love
to inflIct upon them at such times. Finally
the president of the Board of Trustees rose
to address them, and to gain time 10 arrange
his thoughts, he began: "Well, children,
what sort OF speech shall maker" follow
ing the query with an appropriate pause,
and intending to go on with the line which
he had selected. To his astonishment hand
went up in the back part of the room.
Thinking that choice by the scholars
might suit them and help him, the little fell
low was given leave to speak, ana the presi-
dent was taken entirely by surprise when
the Iaconic answor came, "Make short
one" The hint was taken.

said he was not dealing in any opposition

He knew the position of Western Union.
and was not at all alarmedor anxious about
the effects of rival lines. .Notwithstand-
ing the break in stocks, Gould said ha had
been for many days steadily buying Tor
people who were uninfuenced blythe
clalnor of panic breeders. The same alb
sorption for investment to which he had
alluded in the case of Western Union was
observable with regard to other properties
with which he was familiar, particularly in
the case of Union Pacific. In conclusion,
Gould said he looked for substantial i'm
provements in stocks, aud eventually
much higher market, as soon rs the money
situation should be assured. fE.s @s9
Keene was next interviewed on the spec
ulatiye situation, and did not hesitate to
say he thought it absurd to
talk stocks down after the decline that had
been witnessed, and with railroads earning
such enormous amounts as at present,
he confidently expressed q belief that an
era of better days was about to dawn for
holders of stocks. The sentiment Of con-
servative houses in the street is decidedly
in favor of higher prices. These views
were expressed by Osborn & Co.,, Work,
Strong & Co., Ausgrave & Co., g. A. Ben /.
nett & Co., and by foreign houses generally.
