GENERAL
HUGH w. MERCER.
Died June the 9th, 1877. Aged e..
/: Requlescat in pace.


1t was but a simple ceremony, but If the
recital conve. S the sense of sympathy for
the dead, respect for the brave and the rec
ignition of the brotherhood of the unionist
with the confederate, it will not have been
in vain. The general was of the family OF
that Gen. Hugh Mercer who was killed in
the Revolutionary war at Princeton and
whose remains, after lying long In Christ
church, Philadelphia, were afterward in
tered with great deal of military pomp
and ceremony at Laurel Hill His family
have placed in the Anglican chapel
here two stained glass windows,
which were made in the highest
style by the best artist of Munich. Two
other windows were placed in the choir by
her family in commemoration OF a young
American lady, and the organ was erected
and paid for by the family of Loring An
drews of New York. The remains of Rich
ard Wood Tyson of Baltimore, and of A.
Hamilton Lie er of New York, as well as
those referred to above, lie in the Colts
acre of this place. The great natural at
fractions of Baden-Baden have been largely
added to by wealth and art, so that 1t is
now one Of the most delightful places in
Europe. The Lichtenthal Alice is a park
in the shape of strip bordering the fast
flowing little Cos, whose wanderings it
conforms to. A nil, whose summit
is crowned by the pines Of
the Black Forest, borders it
on one side, grand avenue of trees
shelters the drive, and in places it widens
out into broad streets Of delicious meadow,

HOTEL DE FRANCE, May 30.-The in
creasing sense of nationalism among our
people is indicated by the earnestness with
which our annual and centennial fete days
are being celebrated, and this sentiment is
carried abroad In fact, mere acquaint-
ances at heme are hailed as bosom friends
over here, the feeling of intimacy growing
according to the squsre of the distance one is

ming OF the season, and it was determined
that the graves Of any Of our military COM
patriots shoIld bs decorated. The name of
only one could be identified on

Mr.. White, chaplain. of the Anglican
church it.was tdat Of Gen. Hugh Weaden
Mercer Of Savapnah.i No one knew whether
Gen. Mercer had fought for the union, or
to destroy it; but we all feel now that it
was patriotism, as they unders, OBJ it, that
called the confederates to arms. And we,
though differing toto coelo from the judg-
ment the southrons had when they went
into the war of secession, consid cred il Il
pleasure to do honor to his memory and in
this way to add our testimony to the fact
that the war IS over and that we are breth-
rem. So this morning his grave was adorned
with flowers, as many thousands of graves
are being decorated to-day all over our
native land. His tomb is an transformations

remains-with the simple inscription

PRODUCTION OF BEET SUGAR.
The Interesting Process of Preparing
Beets for Sugar Making.
Is.,.. -IlA.,,.Il... 60. -. IL. al.

Beets for Sugar Making.
From Popular Science Monthly
The washing of the beet is a very i'm
portant operation in the manufacture of the
sugar, for the roots are thus freed from
mold, small stones aud other kinds of dirt
attaching to them. which not only saves
the machinery employed in the actual prep
aration of the bee 5 from injury, but keeps
the sugar ultimately obtai ed free from
impurlty. Witc the mere washing of the
beetS the sugar manufacturer is not content.
They are, therefore, freed from those parts
which are poor in SAGE iarine, damaged or
otherwise undesi able, by machine called
a carousat.
When cleaned the beets are thrown from
the wash-barrel into hopper, from which
they pass into an endless elevator which
C rries them to The top floor, where they are
discharged into large hopper. They then
pass into a cage which will hold 1.00(
pounds of beets, and, when this weight is
indicated, the cage emptiss its load into the
cutter or slicer. The cage and the indca-
tor enable the factory people to closely esti-
mate the amount of raw material used
elch day. 1t is also check on every
department. 1t will show any error
that may arise in the receiving
or shipping departments The slicer IS
round iron shaft, rotating horizontally, anC
fitted with. steel knives capable of slicine
400 tons of beets in twenty7four hours. The
rotating, knives, which descend upon the
beets, cat them into thin slice thus expos.
ing the sugar cells, which is an Important
factor in the diffusion system. The lower
end of the cutter opens into a wooden
trough about 2 feet square, on the bottom
of which is an endless belt. AS the sliced
beets fall from the cutter the belt carrie:
them along to the diffusion tanks.
