two or three hogsheads of raw sugar, from the
warehouse on the dock into the basement Of
the Forest City Refinery. Down in the ground,
bubbling and Kissing at your feet, is an i'm.
mense vat, with steam issuing from it and su-
gar and chips boiling in it. This is the meter
and here is the first process through which the
raw sugar passes, on its. way through the re-
finery. Two stout fellows roll hogshead to
the brink OF this vat. 1t is on end in an in

hogshead is scrsped out the men shovel what
is spilled on the floor into the abyss, and then
the hogshesd is steamed, 30 that every particle
of saccharine value is CLEANED from the stayes.
The hogshead is knocked into its original
back to the sugar islands, and the hoops ara
burned for the sake of getting out the old
nails, which fetch sixty cents per bundled
pounds, as well as for fuel.
It will be interesting to look through this
great establishment and follow the sugar from

sugar is melted, it is pumped in itS LIQUID form
through csDacious pipe to the top story of the
building 100 feet in the air, where IL goes into
the "blow-ups." A blow-up is a large resar
voir, in which the melted sugar receives air
blasts, which drives a scum, containing the
coarser Impurities, to the surface, where it ia
skinned off. From the blow-up the syrup is
carried In pipes to the bag filters. These are
Just what their name indicates, cloth bags

is poured. A large percentage OF the foreign
substances in the syrup adheres to these bags.
After the bags have been used short time,
they are taken out and washed very thorough

Now the sugar is ready for Qualification, and
this is the most interesting process of all. The
clarifying agent is bone black-snimal bone,

CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, March %.
No accurate news is obtainable here regard
ing the Central American war. The depart.
ment OF foreign relations has rsceivnd no teie-
grams for the last three days. The last heard
from che minister to Guatemala, who had been
ordered to San Salvador was that he had ar
rived at AcajGtta, q small town on the coast
Of San Salvador, on his way to the capital.
Senor Marisesl is now endeavoring to discover
the minister's whereabouts. No mails have
arrived here from Guatemala for the past few
days. There 10 no truth, whatever in the re-
port that Mexico has sent troops to invade
Guatemala. Her neutral position is still main
tanned.
A New Orleans dispatch says: A special from
the City of Mexico says that over 20
Mexican officers not in active service have
already left for Central America to Join the
government forces of San Salvador and Nicar-

and growing stronger. A largely attended

Concerning Agent Munson.

To any one acquainted with the methods OF
temperance leaders in this State, the contento
OF Mr. M0pson's letter to Capt. Deering is no
surprise. A man engaged in the tem perance
WORK cannot live on air, and while profuse in
promise the hackers of Mr. Mungon have boon
strangely derelict in performance. AS secreta-
~ OF the Amendment Campaign Committee
he WAS authorized to incur the liabilities in
separable to the successful prosecution OF the
same. At the close OF the campaign the COM
mlttee complimented him highly on his econ
omical management, and promptly repudlated
all liability for unpaid claims. For his SER
vices during the campaign and an expenditure
OF 1860 of his own private means Mr.. Munson
mas received "the thanks of grateful people"
and been allowed the agreeable privilege OF
facing the creditors of the committee, and OF
placating some of them with private funds be-
longing to Mrs. Munson. Is it strange, then,
that facing this record OF contemplate hypoc.
risy and ingratitnde, the man by whose untir-
ing exertions 10000 votes were poiled for the
amendment, should tire Of the shadow and
yearn for the substance? While deeply re-
grett1ng the course taken by the gentleman,
ethe Globe is forced to admit that there is
great deal Of human nature about it.
(Biddeford Jeurnal)
1t has been given out that Rev Mr.. Munson
proposed to introduce his new and improved
pian Tor electing Democratic mayors into other
cities OF the State as soon as he finished his
contract in Portland. While there can be no
doubt of its success in that city, his letter to
nj. Deering gave his "patent" away so COM
pietely that we doubt If his presence will be
needed elsewhere. Anybody can do the trick
II they can secure the confidence of the people.
Heformers, who advertise to save the world by
contract, will bear watching.
Bangor Commercial, Dem)
The matter is interesting as showing the in
herent dishonesty which underlies, in one or
another way, all the attempts which are made
TO enforce the prohibitory law. 1t is also cal.
eqlated to somewhat diminish the sphere of
Mr.. Munson's usefulness in Portland and else
where. also that of any other Munson who
may start up with mission to "extirpate the

The Prince Of Wales as a Speech
Maker.

NV. H. Russell in Harper's Magazine for April.l
There are very few men in England who
can make as good speech as the Prince Of
Wales. His voice is singularly far reaching,
clear, pleasant, aud his delivery is simple
and dignifed. But it must not be supposed
that the ease and fueDcy which nov char
acterize his public discourses were attained
without trouble, or that the Prince is one Of
the 'mob Of gentlemen who 'spea' at ease,'
and have very little to say worth listening
to. At first, when he had to address an au-
dience-and it fell to his lot to begin speech
making whilst he was very young Indeed
he spoke with some hesitation, and he gave
his audience the idea of one who would be
very glad when he could sit down; but By
persistent practice. stimulated by the certain
ty that he must look forward TO constant
calls upon him, and animated by high sense
of duty, the Prince overcame the difficulties
which beset most young orators, aggravated
in his case by the consciousness that every
word he uttered would be eagerly weighed
and recorded. He has acquired a command
OF language and felicity of expression
which commend his matter to the most criti-
cal, whilst it is at the same time iudicous in
substance and mnth to the point. No ono
can make better case for a charitable insti-
tuition than the Prince, and his appeals to
the pockets of his hearers when he is presid-
ing at dinner to promote the work of some
benefeeat association, o. to further some
useful and meritorious enterprise, are SO
successful that it is considered the fortune
of an evening, from a financial point of
view, is secured when the Prince Of Wales
has consented to take the chair. On occa-
sions of national Importance aud interest,
such as the opening of public institutions,
the Princes speeches, careful prepared and
excellently pronounced, are models of what
such work should be, setting forth the objects
in view, the history of the movement, and
the claims it has to support or approval, in
well chosen aud effective words. The
Prince has had practice enough certainly,
for since his marriage he has been associated
with every movement in the kingdom, and
has been called upon to open exhibitions,
bridges and buildings, parks and museums,
''inaugurate" statues, lay foundation stones,
preside at commissions and banquets year
after year, and has answered 10 the call with
unfagging spirit, cheerfulness and effect.
