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

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

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."

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 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

lar. 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.

Verdict or the Jury lu the Babcock
Cane.
THE GENEBAL'SCII ABACTER VIN
DICATED. 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. !
