TO 20 tons; in Kansas, sorghum
yields about 10 tons tothe acre. So
far, the advantage is all on the side
of the sugar cane On the other
hand, that cane can be produced only
in a comparatively small extent of
country in one State, whereas
sorghum can be grown in all the
States south of the thirty-sevenlh
parallel. Sugar cane takes rather
more careful cultivation than sorghum,
too. But the other is the decisive
point. Louisiana cannot produce
more than one-tenth or, at most, let
US say one-eighIh Of the amount OF
sugar we need. The other seven
Fights must come from somewhere
else. If it can be produced from
sorghum, then there is a gain to the
country.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

CANE SUGAR.
AS the results achieved by the Saint
Cloud sugar factory at Klssimmee,
Fla, this season, il is stated that the
factory manufactured a crop 0 1,5OO,
600 pounds of sugar from $500 tons
OF contemplating mills. This
means a yield of over 40 pounds dry
sugar per ton-a result only exceed
ed by three of the thousand sugar
factories of Louisiana in the last crop
made. This is a pretty good showing
for the commencement of the sugar
industry in Florida. There IS no tell
ing what the extension of the Florl-
da sugar interest may be now that
dredging machinery is retaining
the rich sugar lands of that State.

SORGHUM SUGAR.
1t is evident from the report by
the chemist of the Agricultural
Department, DR.. Wiley, that highly
satisfactory progress has been made
in the solution of the sorghum pro-
b1em,, and in the entire range of
American farming no other problem
Of equal difficulty has arisen. 1t is a
combination of agriculture and man
u~facture in about equal parts, so far
as concerns importance. but every
thing really hinges on the manufac-
turing process. It is easy to raise q
crop. The entire corn belt can grow
sorghum, although the saccIarlne
qualities are not fully up to grade in
all localities, but when it comes to
reduce it to sugar, there the trouble
begins. 1t cannot be done to advan-
tag on a small scale, nor can the raw
material be stored for any length Of
time or shipped to any considerable
distance, herein bearing resemblance
to a n raising, and not to grain
raising. There must be a long sea-
son, say two months, for m"nqfactur'
ing, the water supply must be album
dant, as also the coal supply. The
cost Of The plant is put down at from
$50, 900 to 100000. 1t requires
about as much experiences to run a
sorghum factory as it does to run a

The Highland Recorder of last week
published the letters of Judge Paul,
which appeared in the SPIRIT of the Val
tey, relative to the Harrisonburg post
Office, and omitted the reply of James
Sullivan, denying the allegation therein
contained. This was rank injustice and
perversion of the object of honorable
journalism. AS matter of simple Justice
we publish the correspondence as it APP
peared, which we did not intend to do
until we noticed the partizan course of
the Recorder. That paper will gain
nothing by the injustice.

Letter Writing.

| "Oh, that mine enemy would write a
book was the severest punishment
that the prosecuted and afflicted Job
could invoke upon his tormentors. If
they would only put themselves in print,
that would atone for his suffering, in that
it would bring discomfit and humilia-
ton to those who were expanding their
ingenuity in devising misery for him.
The compensation would be ample for
his suffering.
Two letters published in this issue of
the VIRGINIAN, illustrate what Job
meant-that his enemy would make
mistake, and invite censure and criti-
cism from an exacting public. The let
ter of Judge Paul to the President in
relation to the Harrisonburg Post Office
was blunder, coming from one in his
position, that was inexcusable He holds
a life or good behavior tenure. The
position was made so to remove the in
cumbent from the ordinary influence of
politics, and place him above the petty
squabbles which too frequently enter
letter. 1t was not written in spirit of
judicial fairness, but was the emanation
of personal feeling, growing out of recent
antecedent relations, more than con-
Germ for the dignity and impartiality of
the administration of the office, for Sui
Ivan, in political times, when Judge
Paul was before the people, was one of
his most earnest and steadfast friends,
and his assistance and influence were
courted. The result of the whole affair,
as shown in the correspondence, eviden-
ces that the accusatory letter was a blum
der, and that it would have been better
had it's author refrained from writing it.
The letter of Mr.. Heernans was, it is
plain, hastily written, and under a mis- |
apprehension of the facts. 1t was not |
such a paper as should have been pre-
pared under the circumstances. 1t was
due to the President and to the Depart
ment of Justice that the commission
should have been considered as the re-
suit of kindly motive, and issued with
reference to the good of the service. 1t
was not fair to Jump to a conclusion"
upon mere inference, nor to assume the
existence of influences in it's procure
ment, inconsistent with the dignity and
impartiality of the President and the
Attorney General. The letter was
blunder, and proves that writing letters,
in these modern times, is about as fatal
as writing books in Jobs time.

the sun shone out resplendent, and mag

however, for after giving us one glimpse of
the glory-felds up yonder, the curtains
were drawn, the flood gates loosened, and
the downpour came in earnest.

The Force Of Habit.

There was once horse that used to
pull around a sweep which lifted dirt
from the depths of the earth. He was
kept at this business nearly twenty
years, until he became old, blind and
too stiff in the joints to be of further
use; SO he was turned into pasture
and left to crop the grass without any
one to disturb or bother him. But the
funny thing about the old horse was
that every morning, after grazing
awhile. he would start on tramp, go
ing round and round in a circle, just as
he had been accustomed to do for so
many years. He would keep it up for
hours, and people often stopped to look
and wonder what had got into the
head of the venerable animal to make
him walk around in such solemn
way, when there was no earthly need
of it. But it was force of habit. And
just so the boy who forms good or bad
habits in his youth will be led by them
when he becomes old, and will be mis-
cradle or happy accordingly. Chris
