The Chinese Sugar Cane.
Tha New Orleans 'Delta publishes the fol
lowing extract from' a letter from Thomas
Affleck, Esq., of Mississippi, to a sugar plan
ter, on seeking information relative to the
newly introduced Sorgho Sucre:
“The ‘Chinese Sugar Cane,’ so called
(Sorghum Saccharatum,) the‘Sorgho Sucre,’
ofj the French, I do verily believe will prove
tofbe all that is claimed for it. 1 have studied
it closely, and watched the results of the va-,
rious experiments made, from its first intro
duction to France to this lime. That it may
possibly ‘supplant our sugar cane,’ 1 cannot
- pretend to say ; yet such a-result would not
be at all surprising. Nor can I see why you
should feel alarmed at the prospect; on the
■contrary, as you fear ‘a decided short crop
inf cane,’ not only on your own plantation,
out generally in Louisiana, I should say sow
till of the seed of this new plant that you can,
find time or land for/ and lest it thoroughly.
If Providence has sept us a perfectly hardy
annual, exceedingly rich ip sugar, to take the
place of the very uncertain ‘cane,’ by all
means let us accept of the boon. You have
'■the land, the hands trained to the work, the
buildings and machinery sufficient for double
the crop you are likely to make from the cane
now in the ground,’ why then not try this
plan 1 ? You cannot ,lose much by it, as it
yields a most valuable article of fodder, and
may, and I think must gain very greatly by
it in the results of your sugar crop. Even
if it proves to be ail that its admirers claim
for it wherever the maize reaches its highest
perfection, the sorghum will assuredly yield
more sugar with you than further North, be
sides attaining a vastly, larger growth. These
'facts, together with your.supply of machinery
perfectly adapted to the purpose, and. your
thorough knowledge of sugar making, must
give yoursugar-growers in Louisiana a vast
1 advantage over the farmers of the West.—
Many will there and elsewhere make their
own supply of sugar, and perhaps something
more, as they now do from the maple Iree :
but I doubt if it be largely carried on, as a
■business for many years if “ever.”
Mr. George Wilkins Kendall, of the Pica
yune, writes to his paper from his plantation
near New Braunfels, Texas, as follows :
“For the lasi six months I have hardly
opened a paper, whether devoted to agricul
ture, politics, religion, sporting affairs, or
what not, without seeing some notice of the
Sorgho Sucre, or Chinese sugar cane; why
have I not a perfect right to add my experi
enco to' the general stock of information in
relation to the cultivation of this new grain,
or plani, or whatever it may be termed 1 To
begin, then : In October, 1855,1 purchased
in Paris a small paper of the seed. Ido not
think there was more.than Hvo heaping table
spoonsful of it, or three at the outside. I
brought it with me to-New Orleans, and on
arriving sent it here to be planted. When 1
reached this place, early In May last, it was
just peering above the ground, two rows of it
in a ten acne field, which had been devoted
io the main to millet, oats, and a little Indian
corn, and four short rows in our garden ; the
.latter planted last.
“About the S'b of July the two'rows in the
larger field had shot up, headed out, and ri
pened,notwithstanding the drought, and heavy
heads were cut for seed. The oats mean
while had come up, the millet was hardly
above the ground, while the Indian qorn was
parched and drying up for the want of rain.
Two or three mornings afterwards, on look
ing at field from a hill close by, I noticed
that the two rows of Sorgho Sucre had en
tirely disappeared, while rows of Indian corn
on either aide were still standing. On close
examination, I ascertained that a lot of hogs
—hogs are apt to do- such things—had bro
ken into the field, and devoured the Chinese
. sugar cane root and branch ; it was cut clean
to the ground by the porkers, not a sign or
- vestige was left, while, as already stated, the
s'alks of Indian corn on eilheivside were left
standing. I was thankful .1 had saved the
seed, and thought little more pf it.
“Some few days after this—perhaps a fort
night—the rows planted in the garden were
examined, the heads of seeds found to be ripe,
nnd the greater portion cut and brought to
the house, leaving the stalks still standing.—
cutting down one of the latter, which
must have been ten feet high, 1 found it to be
exceedingly heavy, and on tasting the cane
it seemed to me to be as full, of saccharine
juice as lha ordinary sugar -cane of Louisi
ana. At the same lime I ht|d two or three
imported French merino sheep in my yard,
in great want of green fodder, nnd on culling
the cane into small pieces I found that they
devoured it with the greatest avidity. After
this I fed them daily on irfor %ome lime, a
single stalk furnishing a good bait. I also
gave some of it to a favorite mare, she eating
it even more greedily than the sheep. Some
three weeks after,the ripe heads of the seed
were cut I noticed that new heads had shot
up from the same stalk ; and these new heads
blossomed, filled and ripened in September,
_nnd were cut out and brought to the house.
All this lime yon~must recollect we were
sufleiing from the unprecedented and
Indian corn and sweet potatoes, water melons,
pumpkins, nnd the like, had died down to the
very ground.
“I now became interested in the
Sorgho Sucre than ever, and although 1 still
fed out daily to the merinoes and mare, left
a portion of the stalks standing. Some new
heads were seen shooting out, and these in
turn blossomed and ripened as did the first,
1 kepi no account of dales, but think this
third crop of seed from the same stalk, if I
may call it, was gathered about the first week
of October ; it might have been during the
second week of-that month. I planted some
of this laqt seed by way of experiment, it
came up rapidly, looking thrifty, grew until
it was nearly knee-high, and was finally cut
down by frost in November. A great num
ber of shoots or suckers, which had sprung
up from the stalks .first planted, were cut
down at the sime time; the Sorgho Sucre
can stand any kind of drought, but the first
sharp frost kills it to the ground. And wh-1
amount of seed do you think I gathered from
the little paper I purchased in Paris ? Nearly,
if not quite, two bushels! and had - not the
hogs broken into the field, I believe I should
have had three. It certainly yields -in the
roost'miraculous: manner; heats everything
for dry weather. _ : r
Of its properties for the production of suglr
I can say nothing ; I only know that it tastes
like the common sugar cane, and is Ibll of
juice about the lime the first beads ripen.
a green fodder it also beats everything which
grows; horses, sheep and. hogs are certainly
inordinately fond of it, and so full are the
stalks of saccharine matter, that they must
be both nulrictous and fattening. I cannot
say what kind of bread or cakes the seeds
will afford, nor can 1 tell what kind of dry
fodder the plant will make when cut green;
these experiments 1 have yet to try, and now
that I have the seed I intend to do it on a
grand scale. I shall plant it in rows or drills,
shall sow it and shall cut it at different stages
lb try its qualities os a "dry fodder. Let me
repeat over and over again, that it stands a
drought better than anything we have—does
not seem to require rain after it is once up.
Yours &c., G. W. K.
Conversation.
; Guests should bs neither loquacious nor si
lent ; because eloquence is for the forum, and
silence for the bedchamber.— Varro.
,r Talk all wit would be as disagreeably mo
notonous as a dinner all champagne. When
a man is always witty, it is a proof that he
has no other quality equally conspicuous, and
the person who is spoken of as par excellence
“a wit,” js a second rale conversationalist. —
“He was! so well dressed,” said somebody to
Brummell, “ihai people would lurn and look
at him.” Then he was not well dressed,”
replied the great master of the art. We ven-
the doctrine to table talk. It
should not wtaat wit; but it should not ex
ceed in it; the epigram should be sprinkled
over it with the natural grace of daises on a
meadow.— Anon.
There are persons who speak a moment
before they have thought; there are others
with whom you have to undergo in conversa
tion, all the labor of their minds —they talk
correctly and wearisomely. —La Bmyrre.
The art of conversation consists much less
in yonr own abundance than in enabling oth
ers to find talk for themselves. Men do not
wish to admire you; they want to please.—
Ibid.
The honorablesl pari of talk is lo give the
occasion.— Bacon.
It would appear that a thoroughly good
talker, something is reqnired of the talents of
active life. Loid Bacon, Seldcn, Cicero and
Burke, were all men of action. Napoleon
said things which tell in history like his bat
lids. Luther’s table-talk glows with the fire
which burnt the Pope’s bull. Nearly all
great orators have been excellent in colloquy,
and which is a kindred fact—a very large
proportion of actors, likewise. The best sav
ers of good things have been among states,
men, diplomatists, and men of the world.—
We think the essence of the quality lies'as
much in the character as in the intellect.—
It is an affair of the emotions, of the animal
spirits, as well as of mental gifts.— Anon.
Oriental Hifalctin. —The following is
the preamble of the treaty of commerce just
ratified between Persia and the United States ;
“Treaty of Friendship and Commerce be
tween the United States and the Shah of
Persia, signed at Constantinople on the
Vith day of December, 1856.
In the name of God, (he clement and mer
ciful.
The President of the United Slates of

the sun serves ns a standard, whose splendor
and magnificence are equal to that of the
skies, the sublime sovereign, the monarch
whose armies are as numerous as -the stars,
whose greatness calls to mind that of Darius,
the heir of the crown and throne of the
Kayanians, the sublime emperor of all Persia,
being both equally and sincerely desirous of
establishing relations of friendship between
the two government, which they wish to
strengthen by a treaty of friendship and com
merce, reciprocally advantageous nnd ukeful
to the citizens and subjects of the (wo high
contracting parlies, havej for this purpose
named for their plenipo'entiaries—the Presi

Carroll Speoce minister resident of the
United Stales near the Sublime Porte ; and
bis excllency, Emir ul Molk Ferukh Khan,
ambassador of his imperial Majesty the Shah,
decorated with the portrait of the Shah, with
the great cordon blue, and bearer of the gir
dle of diamonds, &ci, &c., &c., &c.
. And the said plenipotentiaries having ex
changed their full powers, Jwhich were found
to be in “proper and due form, have agreed
upon the following articles,”* &c., &c., &c.
‘'Are ihose pure canaries I” asked a gen
tleman ol a bird dealer, wilh whom he was’
negotialing for a pair. “Yes, sir,” said the
dealer, confidentially; “I raised them ’ere
birds from canary seed !” It was deemed
sufficient proof of I heir purity.

that their manufacture of Salamander Safes lias at

When we reflect that these Safes were located in the fourth

In favor of the great security afforded to my entire stock of

HERRING'S SAFE
THE CHAMPION!
The. only Safo which, In every instance, preserved their entire
" contents in the,late Extensive Fires.
AT the burning or she Artizan
Building*, April 10th,and in
great fire in Market Street, May
1856, the genuine HERRING SAFE
preserved the Jewelry of Geo. W.
mons A Bro.; Book*, ofpBBcBWRMOBBI
Fisher k Bro., and Edward Seamans
A Co., after remaining exposed in the
burning ruins for nearly FORTY IfinSSu
HOURS, and proving conclusively g||S3Qg__ jltaHt
what we hove always claimed for gHK
their great superiority over all securi
ties now known. < ’
In these firw, the HERRING'S SAFE. rtaadtegsiA by suh
with those aoyertiavd aA to stand 10 per cent,
more-fire'than Herring's came forth the acknowledged victor,
not only preserving their contents in excellent order, hot be
ing themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal,
while the boasted “Salamanders’* of other makers were bad
ly used up in every instance, and in. some cases their entire
contents cookptetcly destroyed.
To tho public we would simply «ay, that, during the four
teen years the Herring’s safe has been before them, more than
two hundred hare passed through accidental tires without the
occurrence of a single loss.
We would therefore, caution purchaser* against the mis
representation of interested parties. The Herring’s Patent
is the only Firo-proof Safe made in this city nhich is protect
ed by a Patent Right, and we will guarantee it to resist mors
than double the amount of beat of anv other safe now known.
