prolonged all the watery part of the

granulated by artificial means; q little
fine white sugar is added to make i,

his correspondence. One Of his bon
mots is especially timely just now He
was hearty advocate OF woman suf-
frare, and so was the late Samuel
Bovles Of the Republican. But he knew
that all reforms have their disagreeable
features, and he did not pretend that
woman suffrage was to prove an excep-
ton. During enc Of his last visits to
Springfield the question came up, and
after some conversation Warrington
remarked, with a merry twinkle OF the
