OUR SWEETENING.
Sugar from Sorghum Proved to be
Improbable.

The department of agriculture has
issued report by Professor Wiley,
chemist of the department, upon the
sugar industry of the United States,
comprising statistics of cane, beet, sor-
ghum and maple sugars.
Some idea of the value OF sugar of all
kinds used in the United States may be
formed when it is considered that a fair
estimate of the total cost to consumers
places the sum at $3.50, 13l $50. The duty
paid by consumers for both sugar and
molasses is about SS05 per capita, and
the amount of sugar used per head is
about fifty-six pounds.
The report of Mr.. A. j. Decker, special
agent of the department, shows anything
but a favorable report of the various
efforts to manufacture sugar from scr
ghum in Kansas and elsewhere. While
the amount manufactured during the
past year aggregated 100000 pounds,
yet the cost of production was so great
the enterprise entailed heavy losses
almost everywhere.
Referring to the Hutchinson, Kan.
sugar works, Mr.. Decker observes:
This factory was built and operated
by learned chemist, having high
scholarly attainments, and his calcula-
tlons gave the exact amount of sugar
that would be produced. But his calcu-
lations were at fault somewhere, for the
season closed without developing a single
pound of sugar.
} THE next season, 1883, the service o.
Professor Mangus Swenson of the Wis
cOnsln university, was secured as super
intendent. The result of the seasons
work was 1000 600 pounds of sugar. Thi,
!, was heralded by Kansas spectators al
the solution of the sugar question, but
the facts were that the cost of production
was far in advance of the amount re
ceived for the sugar, and the company
! became bankrupt. The property moi
being suitable for other purposes, another
effort was decided upon, and Professo,
Swenson placed in the position of super
intendent for the season of 1884. Tha
season has now passed, and the result
T shows 25O, 1000 pounds of sugar, and AGAR
at heavy loss in cost of production
and this factory will probably not be rur
, again for making sugar from sorghum.
, The same conditions appear to occu
nth the Kansas Sugar COMPANY at Ser
ling, Kan, Drummond Bros, at Warrens
burg, Mo-. Belcher & Schwartz at Ed
wardsville, ILL.,, and Faulklin Suga
company at Faulklin, Tenn.

THE OLD HOME.
SARAH DOUDNEY.

Return. return" the voices cried,
: ITO your old valley, far away;
For softly on the river tide
The tender lights and shadows play:
And all the banks are gay with flowers,
And all the hills are sweet with thyme:
Ye cannot find such bloom as ours
In yon bright foreign elmer
For me, thought. the olives grow,
The sun lies warm upon the vines;
And vet will arise and go
To that dear valley dim with pines!
Old loves are dwelling there, said,
Untouched by years of change and pain:
Oid faiths, that had counted dead,
Shall rise, and live again.
And still Return, return they sung,
"with us abides eternal calm;
In these old fields, where you were young.
We Gull the hearts-ease and the balm;
For us the f1ocks and herds increase.
And the children play around our feet;
At eve the sun goes down in peace
Return. for rest is sweet"
Then arose, and crossed the sea,
And sought that home Of younger da Us;
, Noloye of old was left for me
(For Love has wings, and seldom staysG
But there were graves upon the hill,
And s1nbeams shining on the sod,
4. And low winds breathing, Peace, be still;
:, Lost things are found in God"

CATCHING A SHARK.


Him and Feed Upon Him.
The fish bit fast and furious for several
hours, but finally in hauling up my line
found it destitute of hook and sinker
and almost Immediately the biting
ceased. Perhaps we've drifted off the
ground,"I suggested. "No we ain't,"
replied the skipper, lifting up the cover
of box that lay on deck and taking out
a shark hook and chain that would have
weighed seven pounds. "This is the
joker that it needs )" there's an old man
eater shark down there that wants at.
tending to-" There he is over yonder,"
said one of the men, and about ten feet
from the smack light form was seen
moving slowly along by a methodical
lateral melton ofthe tail, the great dorsal
fin out of the water, cutting it like the
cut-water of ship. The shark ran close
under the stern, and swung about ten
feet over him, and although l have seen
hundreds of them in the water, this
fellow looked especially ugly and forbid
ding. He was about twelve feet long,
but did not look it on account of his en-
ormous bulk. One vicious expression
less eye was cast slightly upward, and as
he moved slowly along his entire form
was visible. About the head swan
several of the famous pilot fishes
(Naucrates). They were continually
darting at objects on the surface of the
water, then running nimbly after their
great friend, as if to tell the news, and
taking up their position by the side of
the gills. The Office of these fishes is
not that of pilot, however. The habit
of following larger animals for protec-
ton is common to large number of the
mackerel family. Some live up under
the jelly fishes, ersunderthe physalea.
others again follow turtles or other large
fishes.
When was watching the movements
of the great scavenger the skipper had
baited the hook with q twelve pound
grouper, and making ii fast to piece of
wood that would allow the bait to drop
ten feet from the surface, tossed it over.
The shark had disappeared, but in ten
minutes he was seen swimming toward
the smack again, and finally ran foul of
the bait, and distinctly saw him take
it. There was no turning on the back /;
he seemed to sink below it and took it
without turning in the slightest, and
moved off with the same measured
swing. Sharks are stupid creatures.
They do not even suspect danger when
they feel four feet chain hanging out
of their mouths. The skipper Stacked
out the line gradually until about thirty
feet had gone; then taking a brace
against the rail, he allowed it to become
taut, and jerked the hook into the thief.
Luckily he dropped the line, as the jerk
that came in response to his would have
started an OK, and the line went kissing
over the rail SO fast that it could not be

A DREAM OF DEATH.
A Southern Clergyman Relates His
Vision TO His Congregation.

Every one who knows the Rev. A. ~
Wynn believes him to be one of the
best and most conscientious men in Col
umbus. They know, too, that every
error he commits is of the head and not
of the heart. No man has ever enjoyed
more universally the esteem, confidence
and affection of the people in this COM
munity than he. 1t was this that made
a dream which he related last night all
the more impressive, and at the recital
of which many eyes unused to weep
were wet with tears.
After the close of very interesting
sermon by Dr. j. S. Key last night the
Rev. Mr.. Wynn arose to make few re-
marks. The love of God could be seen
shining in this veteran ministers face,
and he urged those who had not done so
to settle the question as to whom they
would serve-as to whether they would
come out on the Lords side.
He then said that he would like
to. relate an incident, and one that had
impressed him as he had never before
been impressed. He then spoke SUBJ
stantially as follows:
"This afternoon / was on my bed suf-
fering with bodily pain and praying that
God would bless the people of Columbus
and that they would all settle the ques-
ton and serve the Lord. While thus
praying and praising God l felt that the
Lord was with me, and that was ready
to die if that would save soll from the
tormeuts of bell. 1 place no stress upon
dreams, but while thus engaged l fell
into a slumber, and as slept l bad
dream. While 1 was standing here in
this pulpit received message from
God that it would be the last message
that should deliver to my people. AS
| preached fully realized that with the
close of the sermen | would pass over
the river of death. had previously ask
ed my brethren to lay me down in the
pulpit after my soul had gone to its re-
Woiu anu W. iCb ItIOcC NHO
come boldly out and serve God come
up and shake my dead hand. While I
was preaching halo of righteousness
shone around and enveloped me, and
the brethren came up and laid down as
| had requested. My hand, cold in
death, was raised, and the people came
forward and shook the dead hand, and
they continued to come until 1872 of the
congregation had done so. l had also
requested them to let my dead body re.
main in the church, and they did SO, and
it lay right here in this pulpit for several
days without any symptom of decay.
During the time the people from all
parts of the city came and shook the
dead preachers hand and resolved
to live for Christ. AS lay there, dead
rs l thought myself to be, rejoiced that
God would bless the people of Columbus.
At this point Iawoke from my sleep and
shouted for joy that had such a vision.
GLORY be to God ? l exclaimed, Il am
ready and willing to die for the salvation
of souls, and, dearly beloved, 1 feel just
that way now"
The earnest and feeling manner in
which Mr.. WYNN related his dream, the
hold he has upon the hearts and confid-
ence of the people, cuased the tears to
trickle down many other faces as they
streamed from the eyes of this good man.
