S. c., is the following petition. bear
ing date 1873, addressed to the Cover
nor of South Carolina and signed by
sixteen maidens:
1.-The humble petition OF all the
maidens whose names are un written !:
WHEREAS. We, the humble petit
TONERS, are at present in very melan-
choly condition of mind, considering
how all the bachelors are blindly cap
tured BIZ widows, and We are thereby
neglected; in consequence of this cur
request is that Your Excellency will

until The maids are provided for, or
else t. pay each of them fBe for
salts action OF invading our Liberties S.
and like wise a tipe to be levied on all
bachelors as shall De married TO
widows The great disadvantage it is
to maids is that the widows, By their
forward carriage, do snap up the
young men and have the vanity TO
think their merits beyond ours, which
is a great imposition to us, who ought
to have the preference This is humb-
ly recommended tn Your Excellency's
consideration, and re hope ron will

1t was plain that he was either glad
of an excuse for breaking off the en-
gagement, or was actually carrying
on au illicit correspondence, in which
he imagined he had been discovered.
In either case, it would be a small
kindness to her mother to bring hi2
and her again together.
One day DR.. Killen, after having
examined his patient and pronounced
her to be progressing in the most

Yes. Now, the reason asked YOU

referred to in the countess hearing.
We did not know what the shock was
which caused her illness, but it was
clear from her remarks when aelirious

The Sugar Market.

The Demeraro Argosy of 1st March
publishes the annexed letter on the
Sugar trade, which has been issued by
a London house. The Arg08y SAYS
"lhe letter will prove interesting at
the present time when the condition
and prospects Of the market are the
subject Of deepest concern :" all who
live by the sugar cane. The cause
of the sudden depression in the mar
ket which set in towards the close of
last year is ascribed in some measure
to the increased quantity Of beet 81
gar made in Germany; but the full
extent Of the reduction cannot be ac-
counted for in this way, and there is
strong reason to suppose, the writer
says, that speculative operations are
at work The force Of which will 500
expand itself and then the market
will rebound towards its former con
dition. Let us nope this Surmise is
soon to be verified. From a s%tatisli-
cal table given in the letter, ii will be
seen that The price Of sugar was low
er in January This year by several
shillings than il had been in any
January for eleven years preyi-
ousIy =
The sugar market has now drifted
into such a state Of dependence, Il at
one is naturally led to ask whether

showing for tile whole Of Europe an excess
of about Ga, 900 tons in this seasons pro-
duction against that of last season. Rus
STA will probably absorb its own surplus
about $4,000 tons, which would leave
$4,000 tons to be absorbed by the rest Of
Europe and the United states.
Mr.. HERBERT Of the Deutche Fucker IN
duStrie considers the above estimate Of
925, 900 ions for Germany an extreme one
but, being based upon official figures, II Is
probably as nearly correct as 1t can at
present be made. We have then to deal
with an excess OF, say, 10000 tons.
Now, bearing in mind that the consump-
ton of sugar in the United Kingdom last
year amounted to 1,07l ,203 tons, against
994,64 tOuS the year before, and in the
United States to 1,049, 40 tons (913,S73
tons foreign and 1927 tons LouiSiana)
against 904,454 tons (S23,0S1J tons foreign
and 1873 tons LouiSiana) the year before,
that therefore in these two countries alone
the consumption increased last yeaI by
221 1857 tons, an increase OF 5000 tons
in the available supply OF beet root sugar
does not seem to be very excessive.
The imports of beetroot sugar III the
United Kingdom last seaSon-i..e, from
the LIST October 1882, to the Goth Septem-
Der 1888 amounted to 384,111 tons, against
271, SOL tons during the previous season
and during the first three mouths of the
present SeaSOn-i.e., from the LIST October
TO 31st December laSt-we received 1861 ACT
tons, against 1920 4 tons during the last
three months of 1882. We had, therefore,
on the 1st January 1884, already absorbed
44,422 tons of the above-named excess of
10000 tons and our stocks of sugar Of all
descriptions on that day, though large,
still only showed an excess of 1882 tons
over that of the LIST january, 1873, being
224, 760 tons, against 214,227 tons.
The United States imported from Eu-
rope in 1888, 1850 tons, Of which the
greater portion no doubt was beetroot SUI
gar, against only 1904, 5,94l, and 1888
tons in the three previous Years. The pre-
sent Louisiana crop amounts to about
10000 tons, showing against the previous
one a deficiency of about 25,O00 tons,

Making Pearl Buttons.

The Springfield Mass Republican says
that a company in that city which makes
pearl buttons is unique among New Eng
land button making industries in that it
uses only simple machinery, depending
mainly on the trained hands and eyes of
its twenty-five or thirty workmen for the
perfection of its products. The marine
shells from which the mother of-pearl is
obtained-shells of the pintadina variety,
coming from the East and West Indies,
California, and, in fact, all quarters of the
world-are taken as they come packed,
are rinsed in water. and are then ready
for turning. The shell is made up of
the mother of-pearl inside, this being of
creamy or varied coloring and thinner
outer layer of bony texture. The shell
is pierced through a number of times by
hollow boring tool, fitted to a common
lathe, some dozen of small discs being
the result. Each disc then goes through
three or four or sometimes a half dozen
more operations at the hands of the men
standing in line at one work bench,
each having a lathe and three.
cornered file,- sharpened to suit his
work The bony part is cut from
the disc and the button shape given
it while revolved by the lathe against
the sharp steel held in the workman's
hand, no gauge being used. Some of the
buttons are grooved with few lines on
the face, and few holes are punched in
each. Part of the buttons are subjected
to a mysterious coloring operation in a
revolving box, but the best grades are
finished in the natural colors. The pol
ishing is mainly done by hand. The
whole process is very quick, and the
method has the great advantage of being
Immediately adapted to any style of but
ton desired, no change in machinery
being required, but merely fresh ad-
justment of flesh and blood. All sizes
of ordinary buttons are turned out, as
well as some eco lar buttons, though no
