have not seen Nasby in New York
for some months. There's an odd fell
low for you. He can work harder and
steadier, both at demiohn and type
writer, than any other literary feller'
in the country. He never travels with
out both the articles mentioned as his
side csmp mons. His method is to hire
whole section in Pullman, have the
curtains drawn and the table set up, and
proceed to business with the typewriter
on top of tho table and the Jug under
meath. He takes drink to page, and
his eagerness for the jug make him rush
off the page Mt very lively gait. Mas
by's face looks like the moon before g
stor n, and his garments look like sec.
ond hand store after a cyclone. He
thinks whisky heavens best gift TO man.
For some years past he has been travel
ing abroad getting material for history
of the VI orld. 1t will be sold by the cord.
He has made a great deal of money, and
through prudenlly buying his liquor at
wholesale and selling it to himself at re-
tail, he has saved up a fortune by saving
the balance. He is short, fat and fifty,
he smokes iye-cent cigars when he can
get seven of them for quarter.

Column
FaiT-haired women with large dark
eyes inevitably receive the highest need
of praise. Ofthis type is Miss. The
lady has face that might easily loox
upon the canvas of the old masters
eyes that sparkle and glow with that
deep, hidden FIRE which belongs to few;
a complexion to which the delicate rose
might we'll aspire; and, ah! her dimples,
wnicn come aud 60 about raouth whose
sweet expression works sure devastation.
Miss is as lovely as fair June morn
ing, as fresh as a rose that clin9s tender
ly to the window lattice. and as graceful
as the clematis vine which encircles the
arbor with its tendrils. About her fair
young face, is a halo of golden hair. The
contour Of the cheek is perfect. The
slope of the shoulders suggests the ar
lists model. 1t is not surprising TINT
this fair maiden counts h5r victims to
the tender passion by the score.

Narragansctt as a Summer Re
sort.

The season at N~arragansett, remarks
the correspondent of a New York jour.
nal has been unusually pleasant. In
spite Of the autumnal quality of the air,
bathing is more ~extravagantly an d UNI
reasonably popular at the Pier than at
any ether seaside place, and with the
advance Of the season bathing suits are
becoming daily "sma]l by degrees and
beautifully less" Two young ladies,
who, on account of the exact sim ilarity
of their blue and orange costume s, are
generally known as the "twins," might
almost be classed as amphibious, for
they spend from two to three hours ev-
cry day alternately ducking under the
waves and racing their small ''pugs" up
and down the ~beach-these same pugs
being fastened by a leather strap to the
scanty garments Of their mistresses.
Nor are the gentlemen bathers at all re-
stricted by the presence of ladies from
a most pronounced exhibition of their
athletic figures. No pubic display of
acrohatic feats or tight-rope dancing
would seem to require such an absolute
absence Of drapery as does n simple
swim in the Atlantic Ocean. in the pres
ence of hundreds of spectators, They
certainly look neither clothed nor in
their right minds, as they rush up and
down the beach in their light and drip
ping garments. And this is true, not
onlyof the bathers at Narragansett, but
1t ever yseaside place on the coast.

FARM AND HOUSE.
rhe sorchum suaar ludustrv

A committee of the National academy
of sciences has thoroughly examined
DR.. Peter Golfers researches into the
entire chemistry of sorghum and has
just published a report, which will
doubtless attract much attention. They
commend the accuracy of DIR. Golfers
experiments and also detail the success
full results secured by putting his de-
auctions to a practical test. The fact is
established that the crystaEzable sugar
continues to increase in proportion to
the weight of juice from the sorghum us
the plant advances, and attains its maxi
mum at maturity, that is, when the seed
is ripe. The juice after the sorghum is
cut undergoes rapid chemical changes
and un'ess the sugar making i under
taken within a few hours the sugar
turns to glucose. This will account for
the fact that some sorghum growers
have been able to make sugar one
year and failed the next, when they sup
posed they were following exactly the
same process both years. The whole
secret lies in allowing the sorghum to
become fully ripe and in expressing the
juice and making the sugar Immediately.
Under these conditions sorghum will
yield crystallizable sugar as beautifully
and ut certainly as sugar cane and the
best varieties Of sorghum are as rich in
sugar as the best Louisiana sugar cane,
The committee visited the works of
the Rio Grande sugar company at Cape
May, N. D., where they witnessed the
whole process from the cutting of the
cane to the turning ont ofthe sugar from
the centritugals ana subsequently re-
CelVed from the company u sample bar
rel out Of the lot OF 800 barrels just re-
fined at Philadelphia and it was pro-
nouuced by disinterested grocers to be
good &c" sugar. The Rio Granue COM
pany crushed last year e 1000 tons ofcane
from which they made $40 barrels of $50
pounds each OF ''flst" sugar and I.l50
barrels of good moiasses. Many other
establishments are reported upon and
The success of the industry seems to be
established. Two farmers in New Haven
county, CT, are mentioned, who, witt
no special knowledge of the subject, had
made sorghum sugar and supplied their
neighbors for several wears. They had
leaned to let the sorghum ripen thor
oughly and always found the syrup ready
to crystalline.
The fact that We consume 1000, 600, 900
pounds of sugar annually and raise not
owe a tenth of the amount, but pay SO,
tht0,u0O per annum to other countries
for sugar, makes the perfecting and
adoption Of the sorghum sugar industry
q matter of vast national Importance,
and as sorghum can be raised to per-
fiction in nearly all the Northern states
