The removal of Professor Peter Collier from his position as chief chemist of the az
 ricultural bureau will not add to Commis- sioner Loring's popularity. Professor Col Her was great believer in sorghum sugar and may fairly be. termed the father. of the sorg hum industry which produced over l, 900. 900 pounds of sorghum sugar and 13, ,eo0, GOO gal Ions of syrup last year in New Jersey, New York and several western States, and which bids fair to attain large proportions within a sfeW seafs. h spite df adverse efitfcisnD Professor Collier has persevered in his ex- periments, and has been rewarded by the thanks of the National Academy of Science and many other well-known scientific and az last year that an appropriation for sorghum experiments should be spent under his direc- ton, although it had been hitherto expend- ed under Dr. Lorings management. Profes- sor Collier incurred thus the displeasure of his superior, it is said. Professor Collier has many and powerful friends. who are resent ing the manner in which he has been treated. Within the last fifteen months wholesale dry goods firms doing an aggregate business of eight millions annually have gone out of business in Boston. The Boston Advertiser mentions as one of the new and dangerous expedients of large houses the giving of long | time. When the rebellion broke out, mer- 1 chants and manufacturers entered upon the policy of selling on short time. Ten days
 was the nominal, say really thirty days the actual credit. Now, for reasons perfectly familiar to the mercantile community, the credit has extended to from six to eight
 months by the process of dating bills ahead Cash sales are sixty days, five per cent of after sixty days. This state of things has
 grown up gradually; that it is an unhealthy one, need not be argued. It means over pro
 duction, slow sales, large stocks of goods on
 hand, great risk for the seller. The tendency i is for the jobber or the retailer to buy more
 than he should; his necessity to sell inclinef
 him to give credit to tkose who do not de
 serve it, and the whole trade becomes more
 or less speculative.

Those who favor 'seasy divorce" are fond of pointing to France as 8 place where di- vorce is not easy and the virtue of the inhab- itants is. In France widows are not allowed to re-marry within ten months after the death of the husband, and divorces are al most unknown. Yet the number of illegiti- mate children born there is over fifty per cent of the whole number born Paris rank ing next to Vienna in this respect, where the proportion is fifty-seven per cent. These un- fortunate infants are left to the tender mer- cies of the ''baby farms" about Paris, where great numbers die for want of proper care and nourishment So terrible a thing has this become, so great slaughter of inno- cents occurs each year, that bill is now be- fore the assembly in regard to measures which the State shall adopt for the protec- tion of it's defenseless bairns.
