4 A "WHITE-PINE -SBAUEiAS; BY IfRET HAUTE. Recently with Samuel Johnson tills occasion I improved, Whcrpby certain gents of affluence, I Bear, were greasy moved; ButnotaUn* Johnson's folly, although multiplied Could compare 'with Milton Perkins, Into an owner in White Pine. Johnson’s folly— -to he candid— ■was a wil'd desire to treat Every male white citizen he mot upon the street; And there being several thousand—hut this sub* Ject why pursue! Tis with Perkins, and not Johnson, that to-day wo have to do. I*o, not wild promiscuous treating, not the wlnc cup’s ruby flow. But the female of his species, brought the noble Perkins low; 'Twas a wild poetic fervor and excess of senti ment That left the noble Perkins in a week without a cent. “Milton Perkins,” said the siren, not thv wealth do I admire. But the intellect that flashes from those eyes of opal tiro: And methinks the name thou hcarcst surely can not he misplaced, And, embrace mo. Mister Perkins!” Milton Per kins her embraced. But I grieve to state that even then, as she was wiping dry The tears or sensibility in Milton Perkins’cyo. She prigged his diamond bosom-pin, and that her Tvipc of lace Did seem to have of chloroform a most auspicious trace. Enough that Milton Perkins later in the night was found With his head in an ash-barrel, and his feet upon tho ground: And he murmured “Scraphlna,” and ho kissed his handj and smiled On a party who went through him, like au unre sisting child. HO UAL, !*ow one good word to Pegonippers, oro this eub- Jccti resign. In this tale of Milton Perkins—late an owner in Whi to-Pino— You shall see that men and women arc deceitful, Just tho same; And tho tear of sensibility salted many a claim. A CHEJiTTST’S DISCOVERT. Sugar from Corn for 3 Cents a Pound, From the Davenport Gazette, Nov. 10. _ Every attempt that has been made in this countrS* to produce sugar in paying quanti ties, in other method than by uso or the eauo 'iu the South, has proved a failure. In Frauco enormous quantities of hect sugar arc made every year, and tho manufacturers have grown rich; hut no such luck has attended the beet-sugar experimenters in this coun try, though they entered into tho work upon a largo scale in Illinois. Kow we are to have sugar from coni. There is no doubt about it, for many people in this city have tasted and seen it, and are satisfied that a great and invaluable discov ery in tho art of producing sugar has been made. The discoverer—or inventor—of this new process is Mr. H. G. Wcincrt, of this city. His character stands hijrh in the community—an important requisite in insuring belief iu his experiments. Ho is a German, and is well posted in chemistry, or ho never wouldhave achieved success in his search after sugar in a com field. He owned a tannery, which was burned down about eighteen montlis ago. Some effect or other that ho had noticed, of certain chemicals used in his trade upon the potato led him to believe thatsugar might be obtained from this esculent, and, after the destruction of his tannery, he commenced experimenting with that end in view. He found the sugar in it, and also found that its production from that source could not bo made profitable. The cost of stock was too high, for one thing. But Mr. Wcincrt had the zeal, and pos sessed the faith, that has characterized every inventor who lias blessed the world with the products of bis thoughts. He went to work with corn, and so devotedly that ho became very poor, consumiughis means until he had used up everything hut his little homestead. One of our citi zeus stepped iu, told him to go op, and held him np. recently he made his discovery, and made it known to his friends. It is a sugar that will he iu demand by confectioners, wine-makers, and brewers, hut will not he popular for table use until after further experimenting. Over $70,000 worth of sugar is used in this citv every year in making wine, alone—and the esti mates as to confectioners and brewers are not at hand. This discovery will doubtless work a revolution iu the use of sweetening in those occupations. Mr. Weincrt says that with corn at forty cents a bushel, this sugar can he delivered to purchasers at the factory for three and a half ccuts per pound. White corn is better than yellow iu this business, because there is no color to he removed. Of course, Mr. Wcincrt keeps the secret of the production to himself; hut some of our best citizens aro going to furnish capital with which to erect works. Tho building and ma chinery will cost about SB,OOO. and tho ven ture will be made with a capital of from SIO,OOO to $40,000. A stock company will be called for in a few days, with a capital of $50,000. There is no doubt that it will he a success. In less than ten years from now, the com fields of the West will he supplying half the nation with sugar. Com sugar will ho to tins country what heet sugar is to France—a hleasmg to the people at large. WOMEN IN THE CHUHCH. Practical ItloTcmcnl. in that Direction. From the Philadelphia Ledger, Nov. 14. A meeting was held yesterday in the Bishop Potter Memorial Home, which adjoins the Episcopal Hospital, for training Christian •women, at which Rev. Dr. Howson, Dean of Chester. England, made an address to the sisters of the Memorial Home, probationers, associate sisters, and other co-workcrs iu ad joining parishes. Among the associate sis ters are Mrs. C. C. Biddle, who is charged with training the probationer*, and directing the work of the full sisters. The other asso ciates are Miss Louisa Claxton. Mrs. "William "Welsh, Miss Lillie S. Pcchin, Miss Elizabeth M. Turner, and Miss E. Is T Biddle. Mr. "Wm. "Welsh, who, under the Bishop of the diocese, has the charge of the Memorial Home, said that though the House is not yet live years old, it gives evidence of being an infant Hercules. The Church now fully recognizes the importance of women's work and the necessity for training thorn and or ganiziug their services. One inmate of the house has just returned from Africa, where she has spent four years as a missionary. She will go back to Africa as soon as she has rc oruitedlier strength. Sister Anna is at the Santee Sioux Mission, iu Nebraska. Sister Elizabeth is atrtho Yankton Sioux Mission, iu DacotahTerritory: botharodoiugeflicicnt v sendee to the Indians, in teaching, visiting the sick, etc. Sister Emma is present. She has been detailed for the past two years, and has succeeded in forming a parish for working people, and although the church is fully or ganized with its vestry and minister, yet her sendees cannot bo dispensed with until she has trained her co-workers to take full charge of the night school, sewing schools and Sundaj’ schools, mothers' meeting, and the visiting from house to house. Sisters Georgette aud Joanna are similarly engaged in Aramingo. Sister Hannah is employed iu the wards of the hospital, while Sister Sophie aud others are engaged with some of the as sociate sisters in the large missionary work done in connection with the Hospital Chapel Mrs. "William Jackson, the mnah-lovcd House Mother, and Mrs. Knisul, the accom plished matron of the hospital, are present The Tory Rev. Dean Howson replied, ami during his remarks said ho approved highly of the system pursued in the institution there being no irrevocable vows or any pe culiarity of custom that would tend to ex cite prejudice. Ho urged that there were two obvious leading principles which ought to bo taken for granted iu matters of this kind, _ First. That God has given to women capacities for usefulness qtnto difl*ercnt from those which he has given to men. Secondly That in the Church ot|Christ full scope ought to be furnished for the exercises and devel opments of such powers. As to the practical working out of these principles, ho said he conceived that they had two starting points, which ought to bo kept distinctly in view’ namely: That all such capacities of women for Christian work were capable of enlarge ment and improvement by the process of training, and That the practical exercise of such powers ought to bo in harmony with and in subordination to the general system of church work.
