sorghum. There are in Kansas three sugar
factories, which made last year seventy thou
sand pounds of sugar, which cost in the un-
developed state of the industry about as
much an it would sell for. There is no
question as to the production of sugar from
sorghum, nor any as to the large belt of coun-
try in which sorghum can readily be grown.
Nor is it the question as to what sugar has
cost as produced by the Agricultural depart
ment, or will cost produced in small way
by inexperienced persons; it is what, scien-
tifcally speaking, sugar from sorghum will
cost when produced under proper conditions
by those who understand the business. Prof.
Collier is the highest authority, and he is
confident that it can be produced for two
cents q pound.
"The new South" has broken out in
Texas. At Dallas Judge Schulz recently ad-
mitted colorsd men (for the first time, ap
parently, in that region) to the jury box, and
he has been severely censured for doing SO.
But the Hon. James B. Simpson, described
as pronounced and leading Democrat,
promptly steps forward to the judges side
and rebukes the fauld-fnders. 'EOur courts
do not realize" he says in card published
his signature in the local newspaper,
'sand our fashionable churches have conven-
iently forgotten that slavery has been blown
away at the cannon's mouth, and that new
duty that cannot be shirked or evaded has
come upon the South since the accession of
the Democracy to power. To southern Dem
ocrats and to southern honor is largely com
mitted the fate of over 5000, 900 freedmen"
This is plain language from truthful James.
DIR. John T. Nagle, deputy registrar of vi
tai statistics in New York, has this to say
about consumption: Government hospitals
for the treatment of persons suffering from
consumption ought to be established at mill
tary posts in Texas, Colorado and southern
California, where the conditions of altitude,
mild temperature and dryness of the air are
unexcelled. Such stations of observation
ought to be under the supervision of the Ma
tional Board of Health, in order that the best
possible use could be made of information
which might be obtained. 1t is probable
that valuable discoveries regarding the
ture and progress of consumption would be
made if physicians were constantly observ-
ing cases of the disease under favorable con-
ditions. Consumption is such a scourge to
humanity that any means of abatement can
not be considered too expensive. In this
city more than one-seventh of the deaths
caused by consumption, and of grown per-
sons more than one-ffth die from the disease.
The government is ready to take extraordi-
nary means to prevent threatened epidemic
thousand lives at most in this latitude. It
ought to do something to check the increase
of disease which kills over 5000 persons
each year in this city.

The French Reformed Church, which is
now commanding considerable attention on
account of some internal movements and
from the relation which it is assuming tow
ard the State, is divided into 101 consistories
and 552 parishes. Provision is made by the
State for the payment of 638 pastors. Be-
sides the 552 parishes there are 500 annexes
at which worship is celebrated. The tenn
Piles or o1atories are 929, and there are 256
other rooms which are used for divine SER

this sum were 100000, and that man

would then, after each child had inherited
100000 remain s500, 900. To share this
he would have to find five persons. Thus,

For the first time in many a long year the
name of Judic has been linked to failure.
"Elle ct Lui' Gle and She), the new piece at
the Palais Royal, in which the brilliant prima
donna of the operetta boards first appeared
upon the stage of that theatre has not proved
a success. This result was largely owing to
the indecency of the incidents and the Ian
guage. Not that the piece was too immoral
for Parisian tastes q doubt, indeed, if such
play could be written), but the indelicacy
was too fragrant and too outspoken. The
French do not like immortality openly and
coarsely expressed. They demand the dain-
ty veil of wit and 1nirthfu1ness to be thrown
over the unblushing features of their comic
muse, or they will fout the lady and refuse
to recognize her. One point in the play was
an undeniable success, and that was Nine.

That is, until we take
account of stock, we
shall not have much to
say in advertisements.
We have quantities of
new goods bought to
arrive early in March.
Some arecoming innow,
for instance the new
wash fabrics, Ginghams,
Seersuckers, In digo
Cambrics, &c; but in
the meantime our chief
aim is to reduce stock,
and to that end there is
only one way that we
know of, namely, max
ing things cheap enough.
You may not want a
winter dress at this late
part of the season-lf
you do, you can buy the
material now ch e a pl
enough in all conscience
but how about Silks? |
Black Silk is never out
of season, and the time
for Summer Silks is
coming. And yet just
on these two articles at |
the present moment you
will find unprecedented
prices in our store-un-I
precedented is just the
word-prices never be-
fore seen on the same
quality Of goods. |
Never mind why we
are selling these goods
now in such a way. We
have reasons that are
cogent enough to our
selves, and for you
why, if you get the
goods at three-fourths
to two-thirds of value
it's all pure saving. Our
competitors are worried,
not to know why, but
k070 we can sell Silks
in that way. Well, we
are not under any obi
cation to explain, and if
you get Silk SO cheap
you needn't puzzle over
the reason.
By the way, just one
word in anticipation Of
first week in March.
We are laying the
pipes -consplrlng with

great dynamite explo-
sion (hguratively) n

Notice to Sheep breeders.

Notice having been received from Supt.
Cross that the rules have been changed,
the committee appointed to make ar
engagements and selections for an exhibit
of Vermont Merino sheep at the New
Orleans Worlds Fair would invite all
breeders of that class of sheep in the
State who wish to exhibit at that expo
position. to bring all such sheep to the
barn of the strengthening association
in Middlebury, Tuesday. Jan. ID, 1885.
The committee have arranged for a
show of two or three DAYS during the
time of the annual meeting of the Ver-
mont Merino Sheep Breeders association,
and will provide feed and suitable &C.
Communications for the sheep during the
show.
The committee have concluded to a.
dept this plan, as they have found it i'm
practicable to visit all the breeders of the
State. and for another important reason
that is. they can make their selections
SO much more satisfactorily when the
sheep are together. The sheep will be
brought to and returned home from Mid
dlebury to all points on the Central YER
mont free of charge.

The Vermont Democrats.

The Baltimore Sun Dem.) has the
following information: "A prominent
Vermont Democrat says the Democracy
of that little Commonwealth will not be
exceeded in the vigor of the wild hunt
for office by the Democracy OF any other
State. There are not many fat Federal
offices in Vermont. The collector of in
ternal revenue gets only S2,2j0, the col
lector of the port of Burlington about
$1,000, and there are perhaps half doz-
en- postOffices which pay more than
$1,000. Neither the United States dis
trict attorney nor the United States mar
shall for the State have ever been able to
work their fees up to so much as $1,000
per annum. but the Vermonter says this
makes no difference; that the camor for
every place, down to the petty postoflice
that pays but So year, will be immense
and inordinate. He says that to use the
term ravenous can give but the faintest
idea of the hunger and thirst of the long
waiting Vermont Democracy for the flesh
pots. What makes them more intense in
this matter than their brother Democrats
elsewhere is perhaps to be found in the
fact that they never even have a chance
at the public places, the Republicans
holding everythng.'
