The neet sugar Industry.

The Chronicle in speaking of the estimate
of Professor Wiley as to the acreage in Cali
fornia suited to the. cultivation, of sugar
beets, makes quite an error in saying that
700, 900 acres is seven-tenths of the acreage
of the State. One per cent. of the area of
California is about 100000 acres, and
seven-tenths, would be 70,OOO,OOO acres.
according to our calculations. We quite
agree with the Chronicle that the beet sugar
industry is capable of very large develop
ment on this coast. That an industry which
promises so much will remain long unde-
veloped it is hard to believe. 1t is singular
that questions relating to foreign trade
should occupy so much attention, when
home industry, embracing so many favor
able features as that of sugar production,
should.be neglected. If, as Superintendent
E. 81. Dyer, OF the Alvarado Sugarie, says
white sugar can be nanufa otured from beet
roots-costing not to exceed 81 PER ION, at
about cents per lb.--what danger is there
from foreign competition IN this business
The facts i'll relation to this statement are
demonstrable, and, if correctly given, sugar
should be an article of export-apd that,
too, within a very few years. We regard
Professor Wiley's visit to the Coast az favor
able to the beet root sugar industry.-Grocer
and Country Merchant. ~ ~

MRS. HampsOn,s lecture.


KawaiahaO Church was filed with an
attentive audience yesterday morning, who
assembled to hear Mrs. Hampson deliver an
address from the text '' Be not weary in
we'll doing" After the preliminary exer-
cises, the speaker announced her theme, and
for an hour spoke eloquently and forcibly.
She showed how all should persevere in we'll
doing; how none should be discouraged
because the results of their welI-doing were
not at once evident; and how all might rest
secure in the promise made to those who try
TO use their time and talents to the benefit
ing of those about them. The lady's manner
Is impressive, and her stationary powers
great. In the evening the audience was
even larger than in the morning, and Mrs.
Hampson fully as eloquent and impressive
as before. During this week all who wish
will have an opportunity of hearing this
gifted lady-speaker, and the influence that
she will exert here cannot fail to do much
good.

Stock Exchange
IN. Y. World.l
a 1B-yeaF-o'd negro boy OF diminutive
size, with face as shiny and black as the
brokers' beaver hats. who plays popular
xaeiodies on the fife, was discovered by some
festive brokers blowing his instrument in
New street. He was dragged into the Ex-
change and told to play in peril of his life.
He began, and for fifteen minutes bedlam
was set loose. Brokers forgot about the Gem
trails new issue of bonds and began to sing
'Climbin' de Golden Stair" and "When
Gabriel Blows His Trumpet in the Moruin'."
This was followed by an Irish jig. -Four
hundred brokers danced ''breskdown" In
bread daylight, amid the clicking Of the
tickers and at time when minutes mean
thousands Of dollars, and when the financial
world is watching their transactions with
breathless interest. Chairman deadriques
wrapped for order in ain. He distributed
rebukes and SO fines with unsparing hand,
but ali to no purpose. The boys were bound
TO have some sport, and they had it.
The colored boy at the end OF twenty min
utes found himself outside the exchange,
with his pockets flied with silver to che
amount Of $45, and he went on his way re-
joicing.

An old story.

Fisherman John is brave and strong
None more brave on the coast than he
He owns a cottage and fishing smack.
As snug as ever need be;
And. what IS truer than could wish,
Fisherman John loves me.
Often and often when day Is done.
With smiling lips and eager eyes
He comes 70 WOO me. In every way
That 3 man may try, he tries
To win--but that he can never do,
Though he WOO me tin he dies.
Fisherman Jack Is q poorer man
He owns not cottage nor fishing smack
But a winning voice and smile is his,
And brow that Is never black,
Why should break my heart to tell
But love Fisherman Jack.
He loves not me. but every might
He sits at the feet Of Kate Mahon;
Never heart has she for him,
For she loves Fisherman John,
Who cares no more for love Of hers
Than the sea he sails upon.
Often We wonder, do Kate aIid1,
That fate should cross Us so cruelty.
We think Of the lovers we do not love,
And dream Of what life would be
IF only Fisherman John leved her
And Fisherman Jack loved me.

Good Samaritans, Festival.

The ice cream festival given by the Good Samaritans in their hall last evening was a grand success, a handsome sum being real ized to help along the good cause. About five hundred persons visited the hall during the evening. There was singing and instru- mental music and speaking, which added much to the pleasure of the evenings enter tainment. The society will repeat the festi- val of last evening soon, of which due notice will be given through the papers. It is also proposed to give an excursion at no distant day. The committee having last evenings entertainment in charge were William H. Conklin, A. c. Clough and Patrick Burns. The COURIER employees gratefully acknowl- edge the receipt of bountiful supply of re- treatments from the good friends of the society.
