embodiment Of brain and peculiar executive
ability, which seemed to be providential in its
formation. So when the champions Of aboli-
ton had hurled upon them the vile epithets OF
derision from the lips Of their countrymen,
they maintained demeanor Of
stoicism in this righteous cause,
as they proclaimed their God
given sentiments OF liberty to all men, which
in time eliminated in the election OF Abra-
hsm Lincoln to the presidency as the eman-
cipa,or vi an ensaved race. Then wheu the
perpetuity Of our nation and its institutions
were threatened by civil war Lincoln, sur
rounded by cabinet peculiarly tonstituted
for that great emergency, guided the ship OF
state safely through the perils Of the rebellion
at the seat Of government, while Gen. U. s.
Grant, the illustrious military chiettAin and
commander Of the Union armies, vanquished
the enemy upou the battle field. And Grant,
with his imperturable spirit succeeded in quiet
ing the rebellion after others had failed because
Of her great military genius and because he
was the one who was especially fitted and
| designed for the work which devolved upon
him. And now in the day Of our national
sorrow which is felt in the south as well al
the north we see an undivided nation. God
moves in mysterious ways but his hand and
wisdom are manifest AZ we study the histor y
| of nations.

Making Sugar by Electricity.
Chicago Tribune.

An entirely new process for re
fining sugar, electricity being the
agent employed, is one Of the latest
discoveries. If the half that is
claimed, for it be true it is also one
of the most important that has been
made in the last half of the present
century. The process is said to be
a dry one throughout, dispensing
altogether with boiling and the use
Of boneblack. 1t is claimed that
no syrup water is produced, the
whole product being hard sugar Of
nearly if not quite absolute-namely,
100 per cent cane sugar, per analysis.
This result has been obtained from
the lowest grades, the parcels treat
ed ranging all the way from ten
pounds to over a ton in weight.
The refined sugar is obtained
within four hours from the time the
machinery is set in motion, and The
process is continuous, the output Of
fine sugar being kept up so long as
the raw material is fed in and the
machinery kept in motion. The
cost Of the process is almost ridicu-
lousy low, being set at not more
than 80 cents per ton with a guar
antee that the loss will not be great
er than one half of one per cent.
The cost Of the requisite machinery,
including power and apparatus
needed to put the sugar into bar.
rels, and the buildings. required to
enclose the works, is estimated to
be about 100000 in England for
an output Of 1000 barrels every
t%wenty-fonr hours.

A SCHEME TO DEPOSIT SUB
TREASURY IN
THE
st. Mary Herald.

st. Mary Herald.
United State Treasurer Jordan
has under consideration the laudable
proposition to deposit the money of
the government at New Orleans, in
National and State banks, the money
being prorated among them. The
plan is to require the firstclass
banks in the Crescent City to give
security in United States bonds,
thereby acting as bankers to the
General Government, receiving all
moneys which may accumulate to
the credit Of the sub.treasnry.
The recent %defalcation in the sub
treasury at New Orleans is the prime
cause Of the contemplated change,
and, besides, Mr.. Jordan claims that
the adoption Of the scheme will place
the business CT the government upon
a much more substantial ard econo-
mical basis. It may be seer at a
glance that tho advantage which
would accrue to New Orleans, If the
plan is adopted would be immense.
1t would have the effect Of distribu.
ting $4,000 900 among the banks
in New Orleans. The saving to the
government would be considerable
since the force Of clerks. ETC., now
in the %sub-treasury would
be dispensed with, and only the
paid to the sub-treasurer,
who would be reduced to an &C.
c%ountant, remain to be paid by the
government.

magistrate, a man of liberal educa.
ton and a full quota of that mother
wit for which his nation is remark

Squire to be united, "for better or

he prepared and actually used the
following unique ceremony
"Jim will you take Bet
Without any regret,
To love and to cherish,
Til one of you perish,
And is laid under the sod ;
So help you Cod"
Jim having given the usual afr
native answer, Squire--turned
to Bet :
"Bet, will you take Jim
And cling to him
Both out and in,
Through thick and thin,
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part 2"
Bet modestly acquiesced, and the
newly married couple were dismiss
ed with this stopper over ALL
"Thro' life's alternate JOY and strife,
| now pronounce you man and wife,
Go up life's hill till you get to the
level.
And salute your bride you rusty

Carthage, Miss, correspondence
N. 0. Picayune:
The thirteen and
seventeen'year locusts are
to be found in great number in
this and adjoining counties /: in
fact the visitation is general over
the State. They have, thus far,
done no harm. The ground is full
OF holes, say a quarter of an inch
in diameter, made by them in their
exit FROM where? We know thew
come out of the ground, but how
deep down, and how came they
there?
This query is suggested by seeing
some young men, a day or two since,
trying in vain to fathom one of those
locust holes. They had a spool Of
thread, to one end Of which ,lev
attached a buckshot as a sillker. and
lowering it down the hole exhausted
the 1920 yards warranted" with
out touching bottom. It is sup.
posed that these locusts make their
exit from the ground during the
night, for nobody has yet seen them
coming out during the day. Every
locust has on a sllroud or jacket,
which he soon sheds after his entree
into this world. This shroud or
jacket opens in the back, at the
shoulders ; probably this accounts
for the name given, by slirtmakcrs,
to the open back shirt, The Locust
back"
