sin applying this process to the cane
Juices certain changes In It had to be made
to suit the different nature Of the juices to
be treated.
"Niany OF the impurities In cane and beet
juices are the same and hence, In general,
what is true Of the treatment can also be
predicted Of the other But there is one
radical difference. Beet juice contains no
sugar which will reduce an alkaline copper
solution, that Is, some of this or those
sugars commonly known as glucose.
"On the other hand, cane Juices, and es-
pecially those obtained from sorghum, con

well known to chemists, lime, especially at
high temperature, acts vigorously on glu-
cose forming with II black aud bitter com
pounds which would be likely TO seriously
interfere with the products, especially the
molasses.
"To avoid these dangers the experiments
Will be conducted as follows: First of all,
the quantity Of lime which was used was
made as small as possible; cane Juices APP
parently require less lime than those of
beets, and the maximum which IL was
found necessary to use was II per cent,
Next, the temperature was carefully looked
after. IL was found that If, during the pro-
cess of carbonatation, the temperature was
not allowed to raise above 400 c, no serious
decomposition of the glucose took place.
When all but two.tenths Of l per cent. Of

carried as rapidly as possible to the boiling
point.
ut is evident that all idea OF a second
carbonatation would have been abandoned
unless the filtered liquid of the first process
should first be cooled to G0o or less. This
would involve the loss of large amount Of
heat; and, moreover, the first process af-
forded a juice which was remarkably pure
and which did not seem to require any fur

"The fact that sorghum cane yields
large amount of colorlng matter to the diifu-

The first special order, the bill to bar the

county, city, or state, was debated for
long time. Mr., Wickham desired to ex-
tend to non.residents the same rights given
residents, but this was voted down, and
the hill was then voted upon but was de-

that both parties were sometimes fortunate

Mr.. Wickham said he had acted with the
Democratic party in many ways, but they
could not force their platform down hs

was passed by until tomorrow, and the

The following senate bills were passed By
the house To regulate the assessment and

the secretary OF the commonwealth and
state librarian to transmit to W. A. Glas-
gov at Fincastle, Va, one copy Of each
volume of the calendar of Virginia histori-

The rairoad commission bill was up as
unfinished business and occupied the atten-
ton of the house until p. M; It was so
much defaced by amendments that its
patrons asked to dismiss it. But that was
defeated, and 1t was finally ordered to en-
grossment. The Republicans voted solidly
against the thirteenth section, which would
stop railway construction in the state.

THE YALUE OF LAW.

A few days since tall, lank-sided,
lantern awed, vernal-looking grang-
er from lower Warren shuffled into
the Office of one Of our local attor-
neys, and, forking over badly-soiled
and rumpled mortgage asked;

A nod of the head assured the yis-
itOr that he was.
"You be? "Well, | want yer to

The lawyer eyed his client a mo-
ment and ventured to remark that it
was customary with him to charge
for his legal opinions.
The granger regarded the disciple
of Blackstone with a look of deep
mathematical calculation on his
grimy face, and at last blurted out;

PAYING DEBTS.

1t is a matter of record that of the
triumvirate Calhoun, Clay and Web
ater, the first two were scrupulous in
the payment of their debts, while the
latter's delinquency has passed into
a proverb. 1t is a singular fact, in
those days, the Southern men were
most tenacious of their personal hon
or in settling obligations, while the
New England man was conspicuous
ly careless, and sometimes wantonly
derelict But it required grand
genius like Webster to defend him
self in way that satisfied everybody
hut his creditor. 1t is said that he
once wrote, after continued prOvoca-
ton, to the editor Of a newspaper,
which referred to his private affairs,
and especially to his not paying debts.
He said substantially: at is true
that have not always paid my debts
punctually, and that l owe money.
One cause of this is | have not press
ed those who owe me. As instance
Of this | enclose your fathers note
made to me thirty years ago for money
loaned him to educate his boys"
That was master-stroke to the in
dividual enemy, and shut himself up
completely, but the force was per-
haps lost upon other persona who
held the expounder's notes and did
not get the advantage of an education
on the same terms. After all, it is only
a question of principle and potatoes
the empty stomach and the full
one. The rich man with big sur
plus, prides himself ON paying to the
last tarthing, and despises perchance
the poor devil who cannot settle to
save himself from perditiOn. 1t is a
grand thing to pay as you go, but
as 30 per cent. of mankind are COM
mercial failures, it is so easy for
everybody to get and keep square
with the money changing world.

NE STRUCK 1T RICH.

A letter received here from King
ston, Sierra county, N. NJ, giving
an account of the discovery of re-
markedly rich deposit of silver-bear-
ing ore. The writer of the letter,
James 7. Foster, was for several
years resident of Houston, Texas,
and is known as a reliable man. Sier-
IA county, the location of the new
bonanza, is small county lying be-
tween Grant and Socorro counties,
in Southwestern New Mexico. The
Rio Grande river and the Atchison
and Topeka railway run north and
south through the eastern half of Ser
ra county. Kingston lies at the foot
of the Pinos Altos range of noun
tains, some eighteen miles from the
railroad. Foster writes that on
Monday, May II, while an Italian
was working in prosl Getting the tun-
mel of Messrs. Bouchaner and Camp
field his drill suddenly struck some
thing very soft. Campfeld had prom
ised the Italian couple of weeks ago
new suit of clothes if he struck it
rich. From the day of Campfeld's
promise the Italian seemed beside
himself on the subject of striking it
rich, and soon became the butt of
the camp. Hastily Withdrawing the
drill he loaded and blasted away the
rock, uncovering perhaps the richest
body of ore ever found in Mexico.
The rock is soft and contains an ex-
traordinary percentage of black sui
phide of silver, giving it the appear
ance of shale, or poor quality of
coal.
Picking up lump of the precious
ore the now frantic Italian rushed
out of the tunnel to room where
Campfeld was asleep. Shaking him
violently he cried: "You no more
sleep; you very rich; but l must
have fine suit of CLOSE" He got his
clothes. The ore averages over $1,000
per ton. A drift has been run along
the border of the ore for distance
of 130-feet, exposing the deposit over
II feet high and q feet thick the en-
tire length Of the drift. How much
further it extends is not yet known.
There is something like $4,000, 1000
worth of ore in sight. Six carloads
have already been shipped to the
smelter. This shipment will net
100000, 1t costs 81 per ton to haul
the ore to the raiload. The discov-
cry has caused tremendous excite
ment in the vicinity of Kinston. 1t
is believed when the extent of the
discovery becomes known in ColOa-
do there will be a grand rush for the
new silver mines, as it is compare
lively virgin section, there being
many claims open to location.

DON'T S(OLD,

In the bringing up of children, an
encouraging word has in it a great
deal more of power than most people
imagine. So thinks the Rev. DR..
Cuyler, who says in the Evangelist:
Gone sentence OF honest praise be-
slowed at the right time is worth q
whole volley of scolding. The sun
understands how to raise plants, and
to open flowers at this time of the
year-he just smiles on them, and
kisses them with warm rays and they
begin to grow and unfold" A storm
of scolding that sets in in the morn
ing, and lasts till night, has about as
good effect on childhood graces as a
hail storm has on young plants.

of Mrs. Lyons. Eight years ago
Abraham Van Horn bought a farm
of her. He doubted the clearness of
the title, and she was indignant and
said "4f | am trying to cheat you !
hope God will strike me dead" The
trade was made, and Van Horn re-
manned ON the farm until recently,
when another man laid claim to it,
saying that he had a clear title. Van
Horn at once went to Mrs. Lyons
and demanded that she secure him
from loss. She heard him make his
request, attempting to speak, she fell
dead. The neighhors say that her
prayer has been answered.

way to catch suckers when they run
up the Johns River. There is
dam at Colletsville, and the fish make
many attempts to climb the water
fall. Baskets are fastened to the top
OF the dam so that they will hang just
under the water, and the suckers,
falling in THEN efforts to climb the
falls, drop back into the baskets.
Four hundred were thus caught one
morning recently.

THE COLOR LINE NORTH.
From the Hartford Times Dem. J

1t would be difficult to find in any
Republican State a colored officehold-
er. Profession of friendship for the
negro does not seem to be in the di-
rection of practical sympathy and re-
ward; nor indeed does it apparently
dare to risk expression. Occasional
ly there is pretense Of political re-
gard, but it wears off easily. One
election usually blots out the memo
ny of it. Here in Connecticut col
ored man has been favored with a
legislative messengership, and in
Hartford two nominations of colored
men for the Common Council have
been defeated, one in Democratic
and the other a Republican ward;
and it is fact to be observed, that
the Democratic ward gave the color
ed man more votes than the other
candidate received in the Republican
ward.
