FROM INDIAN No American product is so universal in all parts of tho Republic as indian corn, ll -rows luxuriantly in every State, aud 'ferritin y. iu almost every soil aua ecuou and its yield is so vast that the whole ot it cannot be marketd,;and at times it has been burned for fuel, luuneuse quantities re shipped to Europe, and still their al ways remains a surplus, although every expedient is tried to utilize it by feeding it to live stock, and using it for the manu facture of spirits. Under such circumstan ces it is a matter of general inteiest to know that a diecovery made by a German chemist that molasses can be profitable made from corn, has been successfully np- ! plied in Iowa, aud bids lair to lay uie t .... rri .. r..iiii.t ona ol :i treai iuuusw. ; . . I i tie corn used was the common crop, such as is fed to live stock, and the product was exccllcut molasses. The information on thc subject was first published as a com munication in the CiistUin Lstnictort where it was read by tiic managers of a Western sugar mill, and by them the pro cess was tried and found to work to a charm. Thefatmers in the neighborhood of the miit took their" com thither and sold it. So that thc operation was on the same basis as the cheese and butler factorie aud the canniug establishments. This crop is better for the manufactur ers of molasses than the sorghum or Chiu ese sugar caue, and i understood and availiablo everywhere. Small mills can of course be bad for the use of farmers, who want to make their molasses themselves. But the preferable plau is to have the mills operated on a large scale as ej.terate interests, like the canning works. That the syrup can be made to grauulate for su gar would seem ouly to require skill and experience in the operator. Maple sugar thou 'h of a dark brown color iu store, dc- 1 1, .,t ho., from the rude nrocesse of V9 boiling usually utcd in the open air, and we have reliable testimony from Western Pennsylvania that, by careful boiling in a kitcbeu, the syrup produces a light and n.rt f!inr Tl IH1 beautiful suiiar. Hence we infer that iu the manufacture of molasses from beets, sorghum or Indian corn, it is not desirable that the rude processes of manufacture on a mall scale be encoura ged, as the article produced would be low priced nnd inferior. We desire to ell especial attention to this subject now, because of thc boundless supple of corn in the United State. If any new aud general use like this for it could be extensively domesticated, the crop would at. once derive an additional value from it, and it would pay the farmer much better than at present. The cultiva tiouofcornis understood everywhere in America, while that ol sugar ueei is noi. Aj ,,)at 8t.L.IU9 t0 he wanted is the general C8tablishtueut 0f separate concerns to buy u lue corD and ,nak0 molasses from it; anJ jr tlie business could ouce oe uriuiy rooted, the results might be immensely valuable. Iu this connection we need on ly refer to the extent to which sugar is made in France, Germany, Holland, Aus tria aud Kussia from the sugar beet, and to the large amount of money thus saved to those countries that would otherwise jiaV(i tlJ l)U .,a,d out for foreign sugar and The successful aonhcation ol the separate factory system to the produc tion of butter and cheese shows that the print- iple is capable of great results when i - applied generally to the manufaciure of su gar and molasses from ludian corn the re sults may exceed anything at present dreamed of. It should have had an imme diate trial iu every corn-growing district. and if rendered permanent it will develop a demand for capital aud machinery, and give a great new element to American com- mercc.

New York, Feb. 2J, 1870. HOW THE POOR LIVE. A frit ud lately had a delinquent washer woman, and not finding excuses as satis f,-t.rv shirt, set out with me to hunt the clothes, than to see for ourselves QOw the noor live. Her address was a narrow street of a dozen blocks, in the heart of down town, and there was not a decent building in it. The pavement were strewn with garbage, aud the bouses stained with slops throwu from the -windows. The woman was in a crazy old wooden teue ment in the rear of the one fronting on the street, aud in consequence had just a lit tle air and light as it would do to live. We found her in a room tea by twelve, with a bed, washtub, cook-stove and boil- j er in the corners, leaving just room to worm one a way netween mem. tier grown son and a little girl sal on the bed ; there was no chair, aud a string of wet clothe hung above their heads. For this room and a closet for the boy to sleep in, she paid eight dollars a month rent, her whole means of living being her son ' wa ges as boy in a grocery store, at four dol lars a week, the washing from one family, and a trifle of help from her daughter, who got two dollars nnd fifty cents a week as waitress iu an uptowu house. Instead of making way with the clothes, as we sup posed, we found her husband had been sick with tever, and the doctor had forbid den her to send any clothes out of the house. The air could uot get through the house, the drains were out of order, and the sleuth in the entries was so sickeuiug that we were not surprised to hear that there was diphtheria and small-pox in the block. The man had leeu sent to the hos pital to de, and the house cleaned and disenfectud by the board of health, but it could hardly bu kept clean by mortal hands, and never healthy. Comfort I These neonle never ex Dect that. All they (can hoe tor is the barest possible life so bare aud naked that a full meal is some thing to be dated from, and the possession oi-a dollar a matter to be remembered. And the end of that life t The hospital first, and Potter' field afterward. That's all there is about it. THE PROFITS OF TENEMENT PROPERTY. Passing a block of ruinous buildings on in street by the river, I asked the owner why he didn't tear it down, and build something decent. lie told me, laughing the notion to scoru, that such property was the most profitable iu tho city. It cost nothing to keep it in repair, for be never made any repairs, and it was divided into lodgings, twelve feet square, or. a few twelve by eighteen, and they were alway full. There was no loss of rent, for the mouey was always demanded in advance, aud ii by the next month the tenant was uuable to pay, thc agent bundled him out in the street, and there were always plenty to take his place. There are families on Fifth avenue who have incomes sixty thousand a year, from just such property, aud they want no better. What a horrid contrast between the fastidious member of a fashionable club who rolls down to his office iu his coujhj, of a morning, from his luxuiious, picture-hung home in the bright wide up-town street, and the tever scented dens where poverty -stiicken wretches toil their lives away, to earn the price of his luxuries. Wheu will Moody and Sankey labor, that men's hearts may be ottened toward their kind and take for their text, "Your gold is cortupted, and your riches are moth-eaten." JAY GOCLD AND THE TRIBUNE. That Jay Gould did get a controlling in terest in the New York 2ri'finie. everybody believes, and tbat he is sick of bis bargain everybody also believes. Jay Gould is a tremendous mau, but he is not altogether iufalliable. He wanted a big paper in his control that he might manipulate the stack market, and bu took advantage of th tr u ble tbat followed the death of Mr. Greeley to gobble the 2Vtlutie,or enough of its stock to have an influence in it, the idea being that be could have this stock written up, or that one written down, and thereby put mouey in his purse. But the thing didn't work. Mr. Reid did cot yield to the be hests of the stock king, and the Triune did not become a mere instrument in his bauds And now Gould wants to get out. The speculation did not pay a well as Wall Street in fact it did not pay at all, for him lie did uot want newspaper stock unless he could use it to help other stocks, and when the Tribune would not do that, his interest was at an end. Therefor Reid gets rid of hi stench, and the Tribuue, freed from the odium that attaches to the very name of Gould, will get back its place in the hearts of the people. The Tribune was a great power, and now tbat it is to be freed from the reputation of Gouldism, it will be again. RELIGIOUS. The Moody and Sankey meetings are no more a success in New York than they were in Brooklyn. The numbets iu atten tance are as great as ever, but the effect produced is nothing. And the really re ligious people of the city those who were instrumental in bringing tnem here, are repenting of their bargain. Moody is a coarse man, though earnest and honest aud his manner and method rr.tiel rather thau attract, lie has a trick of familiari ty when he speaks of the Deity that shocks the sense of any devout person, and he has a bullying, swaggering way with him that is anything but pleasant. He is very shoi crusty and dictonal iu Ids dealings with the clergy, lacking entirely that nice kness that is so important an item in the Chris tian make-up. Sankey '8 sinking is delight ful for a time, but like ever thing that lacks the principles of true art, it gets tearfully tiresome in a little while. It is a lamenta ble fact that ninetv-nine hundreds of the people in attendance are religious people j Ktiiv cnri-Ciillv awav and never 1 go. The revivals in other parts of the city are more successful. Dwyer aud Collier are preachiug in the slums of Vandum Street with marked success, for they have gone where the sinners are, and forced them to listen to the gospel. Several of the large churches seeing that Moody aud Sankey must fail to produce any effb'H. aie arranging for revivals in the regular way in their own churches, where they can work more directly upon the people, and where families can be successfully used. The. winter is gone, but the religious cle ment does not despair of making some head way yet. At all eveuts lliey mean to try it. BUSINESS. Durius.' the week has been exceptionally dull, and it will doubtless stay so till the spriug opens. The merchants are puzzleU to know why it is so. One jobber wlp is doing nothing, showed me a letter from a banker in a western city complaining :oai the institution had 400.000 lying idle and doinsr no thins, and he said that that was the case everywhere. So it cau't be the scarcity of money that makes the dullness of trade. The t ict is no one has conn nVncH in anvthins?. and nothing is beimr engaged in. New 1 ork is no going to re cover from tlie nreseul stagnation nu con fidence is restored, and when mat win oe the wisest man can't tell. thk Martha Washington reueitius. The affair of the 22nd, was, very appro- nriatelv. the reception in continental dnss at the Academy of Music, which not io s- e was to regret tor the rest ol tne century , it one should live long. Three hundred ladies and geutlemen of the best circles not oulyofNew York, but of the L uion, wore the lull uress oi tne om time, uu a orettv sitbt it was. 1 he handsome men of lhe club of the clubs in luxurious court dress, white 9atin knee-breeches with pur- ule aud maroon velvet coat, lace ruuies and buckled shoes, the ladies lovelier than ever in satin petticoats, with brocade over dress, their heads elaberately built up, with powder and plumes, jewel and flow er. The beaux, it is said, found the dress so becoming that they put it off with a sigh of regret tbat they could not wear knee breeches to show a La-idaome leg, or the ruffles which set off a soft aristocratic hand amazingly. There were dresses worn at the Academy, which figured at Lady Washington's evenings, eighty years be fore, and one fortunate lady, it is said wore a flounce which was art of the matc less lace ordered for Maria L,ouisa, by Na poleon hiinself, who was a counois seur. It was not generally surmised, however, that the flouuee in question, was part of the Empress' bed-hanging though it was remarkable fine piece of Mechliu. The Academy was densely packed, and the re ception was d -signed, fot fashionable New York views its gayest fest.T lies with the sanction of charity. Tweuty thousand tickets were sold at live dollars apiece, aud the result was, that hundreds of holdrrs of tickets ou seeing the crowd, went home, withouttrvingtoeuter.it was worth the crush, to see the minute danced by two dozen couples, traiued tor the occasion by a lashionable Fifth Avenue dancing mas Thu elegant movements, the sinkings .n ,,;... vur turn nf wliirh was lovely t... .,..1,v ,,e itdlr rustic which pass for dancing nowaday.

FOREIGN PICTURES. To be a successful artist is to be a favor ite of fortune. The arl-mauia with our rich collectors, who buy their pictures by agents, as a speculation, is well nigh' as extravagant as the tulip mania of the last century, when fortuues were offered for a single bulb. Mr. Stewart lately pai-i ?7G. 000 for a panting by a celebrated French artist, and very kiudly proposed t throw his gallery open to the public, one afternoon a week. Foreign artists are determined not to lose g'xwl prices for want of ask.ng. At the exhibition of water colors now open the finest efforts of our best artists, ineu like Samue.1 Colman and Swayne Gilford, rarely venture above $700. while some wonderfully crawly picture of volup tuous womau with equally voluptuous couch haugings, iu which the artist had contrived to make the womau look as lux urious as the demasks. and thc demanks. somehow, as liceuiious as the woman, were asked with the price of 1,000 apiece. Will cultivated Americans have the judg ment to show these artists that this couu try is not the backdoor by which they are to discharge all their artistic rubbish ? lOIt THE GIRLS. The bonnets for spriug will bo largely of straw, trimmed w ith velvet, and the shapes curve prolectingly round the head. The first importations of dress good are mere ly last Fall's styles, lighter iu shade aud fabric, to suit the change of March. The long square overskirts open in the back, trimmed all round with hue side pleating, aud drawn into easy folds across the frout by pleats nt the side, and held together with large bows behind the seam on the new suits. The long polonaise with loug sides caught together iu the back, is the latest ana favorite style, very becoming and economical too. For the house, nothing is so much in style as the gored dress with full skirt in the back, aud the least trim ming that the fabric demands. I'lETRO. Telegraphic News. TERRIFIC TOKXAHO.

St. Louis, February 24. The United States Circuit Court was not opened to day until after one o'clock. The Judge was en gaged in fiuiihiug the charge to the jury. As soon as the roll of jurors was called. Judge Dillon read the instructions, which were very long, including, in various groups, the telegrams introduced in the evidence. Many of the letters were intro duced, aud also copies of extracts from the President's disposition. At the outset Judge Dillon said, in all the propositions he had to make he had the concurrence of his associate on the bench, Judge Treat. He explaiued to the jury the importance of tho case, and tht reasons which made it necessary to keep them so isolated. A high compliment was paid to the counsel aud the management of the case on both sides. Approaching the issues. Judge Dillon said : Two main questions arise, one as to the existence of the conspiracy, and the other as to thc connection of the defendant with it. The first question required little attention, as the arguments of counsel ou both sides seemed to accept the existence of thc conspiracy as proven. The second question, the connection of the defendant with the conspiracy, was then taken up. The jurors were cautioned at some length to be on their guard against the influence of pot ular clamor. They were also reminded that the Government owed a duty to its citizeus as well as its ieveuue, and it lay in the province of the jury to acquit as well as convict. The prosecution had presented no evidence to show thai the defendant had ever declared his connection with the conspiracy, or had written a direct admissiou of this connec tion. The law, however, did not require this. It was a case of circumstautial evi dence. It was right for them to cousider the motives of the defendant. The Gov ernment alleged as the only motive that of pecuniary gain. The evidence of Everest, who mailed the letter in which lie thought Joyce put a five hundred dollar bill, and the evidence of Magill, who testified to ' taking i rom the letter box a simitar letter and returning it to Joyco. were considered and lhe question of credibility left to the jury. The telegrams, letters and portions of ; jD aa aggravated form about twelve years the President's deposition bearing ou the and for several years from Bronchial trou death of collector Ford and the appoint- i ble. Tried many doctors and things with ment of bis wessor were rtad. Two question?, the Court considered, arose on , the successsorship of Ford. The first was ' whether the defendaut sought to influence i the President on the successorship, and. , . . , . second, whether be did this in the interest of the conspiracy, having knowledge of that conspiracy. Jn.We Dilloii then read all Lh disnatchea of the spring of 18,4 relating to Joyce's thou?h in a very feeble state. My Brachial visit to San Francisco and Commissioner trouble remained and the Catarrh was ten Douglas' permits to other revenue azents fold worse than before. Every effort for to uo out of their districts. ! Judge Dillon finished reading his charge aud the jurv'relired a few minutes past one. At 3:25 the jury sent word that they had found a verdict, and they were imme diately ushered into the Court. On tak ing their seals the foreman handed the ver dict to the clerk, who read it as follows : "The jury fiud thc defendant not uuilty." Some demonstration in favor of the de- feudaut was made, but ii was quickly stop- ( ne8g at lea((t j finally Stained a quanti sed. There was a general hand shaking, j ty of Dr. Sage's Catarrb Remedy, your however, and Gen Babcock crossed over I to the jury and most heartily and feelingly '; shook the hands of each juryman, and thanked them kiudly tor their verdict. ! Tli- G. ni ral sind friends then left the court and started for their hotel. O i reaching . ... , , the street the party was heartily cheereu by a great crowd congregated in front of Custom House, and almost evervbody seemed well pleased at the result. ! m m ; tiermauy.
