New Process for Handling
Sugar Canes.
From the Jamaica GledRer.J

We have repeatedly urged upon our
planters the necessity of introducing the
most improved machinery Oh their estates,
so AS to gtt the maximum yield with the
minimum outlay, and as Mr., Morris is
now at New Orleans it would not be
difficult tO procure from him full details
of the machinery i'll operation there.
From the statements contained IN Il contcm-
porary it would seem now that the Old
adage, at is always darkest just before
d WI" is net without application to the
sugar interests of Louisiana. In the first
place, the depression III values has reached
bottom, and d reaction has set III. Prices
have advanced over one cent per pound
T, Gently in all the American mari cts, and
when il is understood that this has been
brought about without any aid from
speculative influences, its Significance Will
lie realized. The article had reached Il
p,ice ut which it could not he produced,
except perhaps in a few localities, and yet,
though 50 cheap, was not generally con
sidered "a safe investment. But when n
staple article sinks to that position, the
work Of regeneration sets in silently, ANA
the equilibrium between cost Of production
aid market value is restored, and men
look back and wonder they could not see
the necessity for such restoration. Along
with the rise III prices AMI more assuring
:aSpeCt in that direction has come another
very important factor in The problem. A
new process for handling the cant has
been tried on the plantation OF Gov. II. e.
Warmoth, and found to increase the yield
OF sugar by Il very large percentage. The
innovation consists III the use Of an addl-
tional machine, called a shredder, to pre-

consists OF two cylinders revolving against
each other (like the rollers at present in
uSe(, the surfaces of which are set with
knives. The cane in passing through
these is chopped and broken, rendering
the work of the mill comparatively easy.
Tho results attained are certified to by
Gov. Warm0th, as follows:
"While grinding the first half our crop,
Jul milling Was very unsatisfactory, caused
principally by the imperfect construction,
weakness and breaking Of cur second mill
gearing. Several teeth were broken out of
the spur wheel, and through fear Of others
breaking, and further delays, We could not
screw down the mill, and The loss of juice
Was so great that We found d~itficulty in
burning our bagaSse.
After the first run, these difficulties were
partially renedied and he extraction much
improved. The bagaSSe now burned freely

His political ideas being too much
imbued with "Home Rule" he was,
under English inhuence-as he al
leges-'xpeIled from the country in
1879, soon after the accession Of
Tewhk. He thereupon paid a visit

After leaving India he found his

extensive dissemination over Maho-

advocated independence of the TO-
reign yoke everywhere, and naturally
enough every effort was made to inn
de its circulation, especially in
India, where arge quantities Of the
nhrmmatory journal were sen for
distribution. Upon the French Co.

toman Embassy, ordering the expuI-
sion of Ibrahim MuIev, The editor of
Ell Fitch (The Union, four months
ago, in consequence OF its violent at
tacks upon the sultan, the Sheikh
resolved to suspend the publication
OF his own journal, tearing that he
might share the same fate.

manner connected with the Mahdi, he

il so far rs ii represents the idea which
he himself has been for Years indoc-
lrinating in the minds of the Mnho-
medan youth-namely, self-govern-
ment independent of foreign interior
ence, The Mahdi according to the
Shelkh is not a prophet, but the
"lcader III the paths of righteous
ness" As long ns he lives he has to
compel his followers to fight for Ii

his mission ceases; but il he stops in
his career he is Mnhdi no longer. Ach-

The >heikh is in communication
with several of the Mohdi's present
followers who were his pupils at
Cairo but it is OF course only with
great difficulty that news reaches
him. He is convinced that General
Gordon's life would have been spared
if he had fallen into the hands OF
the Mahdi, as it is contrary to the
precepts of the Koran to oct other
wise. His death was therefore due
to his not having surrendered. In
his opinion General Gordon went to
the S"udan as an Egyptian official
wearing the uniform of the Khedive;
and it is therefore no duty of En-

Mr. Beecher's Free Ira de Flo
QIenCe.

1t is told of Henry Ward Beecher
that he once bought a PIC for 81.
kept it all Summer, fed it fort,
bushels Of corn costing so cents \
bushel, and sold it in the Fall for
$40. He was Dragging of the profit
made on his pig, which he had sold
for 50 more than il cost him. In
reference to the corn fed to the pig.
he sand that he had .ucyer expected
to make anything or corn, and that
in fact, people who dealt in corn
generally lost quite as much as they
made, If not more. Mr.. Beecher
was speaker at the free-trade mass
meeting in this city last Thursday
evening, and bis views on tariff laws,
industry and commerce are about as
vague and about as reasonable as his
views in regard to the profit in rails
ing pork.
Mr. Beecher said that trade should
be free, because the air is free, be.
cause sunshine is free, and because
water is free. He might as well say
that dry-goods store should be
Gree because the elements are
free, or that there should be 70
rights of property al all because
there are no rights of property al
sunshine and air lie said that it ia
not one Of the functions of govern
ment to ''run the industries of the
country"-as if industry, trade, the
social relations, or anything else
worth having would be secure or
could exist without some form of
protection from law. He said that
men had fought for and gained
liberty Of thought and conscience,
and must now fight for liberty Of
commercials if commerce were not
as free as thought or conscience; for
everybody can trade, and sail and
travel who has the capital to invest
for that purpose, as everybody can
] think who has thinking powers, OF
