We are in receipt Of a pamphlet
addressed to the Agriculturist of the
Southern States, giving interesting
facts relating TO the cultivation and
manufacture Of Ramie and Jute. 1t
is published by Messrs ] Jnrenet d.
Co., OF New Orleans, who are doing
everything possible 10 stimulate the
new industry. Mr. JuVenet is the in
rentor of a machine which is likely
to work wonders in the development
of these fibre producing plants, and
stop the importation of such fabrics
as may be manufactured by its help,
thus adding another important factor
to our diversified industries. The
machine as 8 deeorticstor is a clearly
proven success, while Mr.. Juvenet's

Adulterated Honey.

To the Edltor OF She Indianapolis Journal:
In your valuable paper of to-day I notice. un-
der the heading Of Indiana Bee-keepers," very
erroneous statement, the direct reverse from
that which has been said. The tendency of your
article would be injurious to bee-keepers and an
insult to me dealer in pure honey. hope
you will correct the statement You make me
say thati is useless to try to disguise the fact
shat honey is adulterated, when I did say, in
substance and IN fact this: There is no use in
denying the fact that there is aduterated honey
on the market, and it is this Internal adultera-
ton which Injuries our business more than any
thing else. 1t swells the socalled stock of honey
on the market and brings down the prices of our
pure honey. Adulteration is profitable to the
adulterator, as the proportion Of glucose to
honey has often been found as TO in the adul.
terased article. It should be the business of
every bee keeper to fight and expose adultera-
ton wherever met An injustice is often done
to bee keepers by scientists, in not distinguish
inein their analysis the quality Of grapesugar
found in honey from the grape-sugar manu-
featured of corn starch, and which is made for
the purpose of adulteration as is known to every
business man. CHARLES SMITH.

New YORK, Jan. PA special from San An
tonic, Tex, says: Intelligence reached this
city, last evening, from Hidalgo county, border
ing OF the Rio Grande, and lying in the extreme
southwestern portion of the State, that a band
consisting of eight robbers crossed over from
Mexico few days ago and raided the Palmos
ranch, in that county. The raid was made in
open day Carlos Schunaor the proprietor, and
his clerk, made stout resistance, but both were
shot down. Schunaor was fatally wounded, and
will die. and his clerk lies in very critical con-
dition. with small hopes of recovery. Having
disposed of the occupants of the ranch and store.
the thieves leisurely proceeded to despoil the
premises. and carried away money and vaiuables
amounting to s., 800, besides number of horses
None of the perpetrators have been apprehend-
ed. It's believed that they are portion of an
organized band of outlaws under the leadership
of the notorious LIE Pelou, who is one of the most
daring and bloodthirsty chiefs of the lower Rio
Grande. the deeds of whose lawless band of
desperadoes have often struck terror to the cit-
zens residing on either side of the river, and
this recent raid by them has caused widespread
CONSERVATION in Hidalgo county, which is prin-
cipally occupied by ranchers, whose residences
are so remote from each other that they cannot
successfully combine and resist the attacks Of
their enemy, and whose only protection lies in
the ranger service Of the State, which has been
reduced so rs to render it practically useless as
constabulary force"

A Wifs,s Charges of Cruelty.

Angelina Stinson married two years ago, when
she was but fifteen years of age. Her husband
John, was ffty-two. Yesterday she fled d.
vorce complaint, in which she details incidents
of excessive cruelty She charges John with the
ordinary run of abuses, and then sets out that
he has left her at times on the verge of starva-
ton. Besides compelling her to beg from door
to door he has required her to sleep on boards
without covering. He also refused to let her
have fire. She supplements this allegation of
cruelty by saying he sent her out to work when
she was hardly able to walk on account of sick
ness. Cruelty, cold and starvation, she thinks,
entitle her to divorce
