 with their boundary lines, and the rights of property; the right to use naVigable waters in common; the safe ty of foreigners within the limits of a state, and the adoption of treaties of all liance, confederation, etc, between na- tions when they are at peace. Certain rules, laws and usages were gradually adopted in case of war between na- tions. and the rights of non-combatants and their property in time of war were gradually increased. The recognition and enforcement of the rules of inter national law have always depended upon the courtesy of the nations, and in case of dispute there has been no tribunal existing to settle the question of whether the conduct of a nation, either in time of war or of peace, was in accordance with the principles and rules of international law.
 The international arbitration of to- day is the nineteenth century out growth of International law itself, and the twentieth century is about to see the permanent establishment of tribun- nals to settle all questions of interna- tional law, and all disputes between civilized nations.
 The discussion of the establishment of such tribunals began three hundred years ago, and the moral and Christian sense of wise and good men in different nations of the world led to this discus sion, but the questions raised were all most academic rather than practical. The discussion, the agitation and the { work that has been accomplished in the last few years has been successful, be- cause the commercial bodies of the world, in the interest of business and prosperity, as well as the welfare of mankind, have introduced, ratified and backed with their great influence, the ], practical work of the last decade.
 1 Three hundred years ago Henry ", I of France, the founder of the Bourbon dynasty, suggested and advocated a perpetual alliance or league of the states of Europe with general assembly, similar in some respects to the union oi American colonies under the Constitu- tion of the United States in 17S7. Tn 17S9 Jeremy Bentham proposed plan for a general congress of the civilized nations, which was to consist of two deputies from each nation, which should have power to pass decrees promote peace and yet place refractory states under the ban of Europe. He believed that if public opinion and the Influence of the press should be unable to rravent war then decrees of the congress should be enforced by ar

Kennedy gagged the niger as the

They gave him the key and the

He grabbed the rope and tied it to

And as be went down it he was

Where was the Waterman when
Kennedy got out?
He was down stairs listening to

Where was the jailor when kenne-

Away over in another part OF

But why were thew not attending
to their business when Kenne-
DIV got away"

Sugar Business by
r10dern r1ethods,

The season so far has not been
an ideal one for making of maple
sugar, but that our readers may
have an idea Of what can be done
at a camp where all the latest I'M
provemeDts for the converting OF
sap into agar and syrup have been
installed, md that they may Judge
az TO whether or not there is money
enough in the business to justify
anyone in going into it to any
considerable extent. we here give
what WIS accomplished I'm four

They have an orchard of 25O
trees. and have the largest eyapor'
ator in the county. as we'll as I'M
proved sap spouts, buckets &c. In
4 four DAYS run, two men doing
the work, they evaporated 25O
pounds of sugar and rs gallons Of
syrup. The sugar sells readily at
10 cents a pound and the syrup at
81 per gallon, which would make
$50 fort run Of four days.
After supplying the camp with
its equipment, but little actual ex-
pense is necessary, except, perhaps
the wood, wnich on some farms
would count for something. In
making the above quantity three
cords of wood were required, which
is a great saving over the old kettle
method, and with the evaporation
there Is great saving of time, as
the sap can be converted into syrup
in about an hour and forty minutes
The capacity of the Hevener evap'
orator is sixty gallons OF sap al

making more, probably, by the
way of the old smoky kettle than
is now produced. Twenty years
ago, j Lunsford, Esq. who was
then engaged in the mercantile
business at Hightown, says a barrel
of imported sugar would last him
whole year. Hesays bis customers
never bought store sugar unless it
was for some very special purpose,
such as making a wedding cake.
The neigbborhood made its own
sugar. The store sugar sold then
for Is cents a pound.
With all the new tangled ways
Of making sugar there are people
today who claim that kettle sugar
has a certain delicate favor that
| can not be found in the evaporated
article. An enthusiastic eyapora-
| tor man SAID it must be dirt that
makes this delicate flavor so much
sought after by the advocates OF
the kettle sugar.
