| Beet Root Sugar.
CHARLOTTETOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1879.
The progress of the beet-root sugar in- ‘dustry in Europe is shown by the returns lately issued by the German sugar inspect- iors. These show that in Europe in 1877
| there were 1,617 beet sugar houses, making
lraw sugar, and 26 sugar refineries—of | which France had 55 of the former and 49 ‘of the latter; Austria, 245 sugar houses and 5 retineries; Germany, 339 houses and 68 refineries; Belgium, 151 houses and 37 re- fineries; Holland, 32 houses and 15 refiner- ies; and Prussia, 26 houses and 10 refiner- ies. In 1840, when the beet-sugar industry was inaugurated in Germany, there were 145 sugar houses in operation, which con- sumed 482,979,400 lbs. of beets, or an aver- age per factory of 3,330,000 lbs., the yield of sugar was 28,410,200 lbs., or an average per factory of 195,900 lbs., and it required 17 lbs. of beets to produce one of sugar. In 1876-7, there were in the same territory 335 sugar houses, consuming 8,322,578,300 ibs., yielding a total of 715,096,500 Ibs. of sugar, or an average of 2,156,900 lbs. each, and it required but Ll Ibs. of beet to make one of sugar.
Bad Times and Free Trade.
Mr. E. 8. Cayley, of Yorkshire, the well- known writer on agricultural topics, writes to the Times:-—‘‘The reason why the doc- trines of free trade have never been ‘ham- mered into the heads of the trading classes’ is because of a place which will not stand the hammer. The home producer has to pay heavy rates and taxes, which add, say 10 per cent. to the cost of every article he produces, before he can bring it to the market. What it pleased the late Mr. Cob- den, Mr. Bright, Mr. Gladstone, and their manufacturing friends to call ‘free trade’ neglected this fact. They agreed to admit the foreigner to compete in our home market without asking him to pay any of the im- posts we have to pay ourselves. It is not very wonderful that he undersold us, though upon what ground such -trade was called ‘free’ was always to mea profound puzzle, reminding one of James J.’s ‘free Monarchy’—-all the burden ours, all the freedom somebody else’s. ‘They have digged up a pit, and have fallen into a des- truction they made for others. One never knew a quack to take kindly to his own pills. So there need be no surprise to find a growing outcry for ‘foreign trade at even weights’ and ‘justice to British trade.’ In- deed, it is said than an association to en- force these principles is being formed in the West Riding, which some day may come to be great a fact. There is another point. When we are undersold in our corn, cotton, iron, woollen goods, linen, and pottery, our sugar, beef, mutton, eggs, apples, and cherries, what are we to grow or make and sell to buy ourselves victuals when we have spent-our accumulated capital? Itisa fallacy to assert that the interest of the consumer who produces nothing and lives on his means is an excep- tional person. Most folks have to live by making something to sell. Now, if some body else can make and sell everything each of them is in the habit of making cheaper than he can, the necessary result would seem to be a general starvation—a kind of reductio ad absurdum.”
Revenge in Italy.
Two Englishmen, wandering in a boat in the suburbs of Venice, saw an object in the water, surrounded by birds. They found it to be a man, yet alive. His arms and legs were broken and tied, and, in or- der that he might not sink, a large demi- john of glass was attached to each shoulder, which sustained the head and neck above water. He could not speak; his tongue hung from his mouth. His eyes had been pecked out by birds. The murderers were Luigi Parmaschetti, a farmer, and his two brothers. Parmaschetti had a handsome and irreproachable wife and a daughter of eight years. Tetaldo, the murdered man, was employed by him and well treated, but, becoming enamored of Mme. Parmaschetti, he annoyed her to such a degree that her husband beat him and drove him from his house. Several days after, Parmaschetti started at midnight, with a boatload of gar- den produce for Venice. His wife was soon awakened by steps in her room. Her door was locked, but Tetaldo had entered by the window, and he stood before her, knife in hand. He threatened death if she called for help, but she defended herself bravely. Inthe meantime her daughter, uuperceived by Tetaldo, had crept under the bed, and was a witness of the scene. Mme. Parmaschetti ran round a table, and several times escaped from Tetaldo’s grasp. But he stabbed her, and she fell in a dying condition. Day began to dawn, and Tetal- do fled. The child then alarmed the neigh- bors, who, on reaching the house, found the woman dead, with thirty two wounds upon her body. On the return of Parmas- chetti, himself and brothers sought Tetaldo, and found him. Parmaschetti plunged a pitchfork three times into his breast, and held him pinned, while his brothers breke his arms and legs with an iron bar. Par- maschetti intended then to burn him, but a brother proposed that he should be float- ed upon the Adriatic, that the birds and fishes might eat him alive. This was done. The three brothers were condemned to ten years’ imprisonment with hard labor, but a petition to the king was extensively signed = Venice, asking for their complete par-

“Hard on the J. P.’s.” The Moncton ‘‘ Times” says: ‘‘ The lists of Magistrates published in the ‘‘Gazette” would seem to indicate that some people yet desire to be Justices, or that the Government think they do. It is probable that many of those in the list, as in the case of Mr. Stevens, for whom we can speak, have no desire to be J. P.’s, but rather a desire to avoid the worry and an- noyance connected with the position. The time is long since past when it was an honour to be a magisir.t>, and the jr fit must now be very unimportant.—By the way, is not the propriety of using the names of respectable peop!> without their know- ledge or consent, as the Government has done in this case, open to objection ?

The first newspaper published in America was printed in Boston.
The first copper coin used in America was issued in 1775; the first nickle in 1856. The first daugerrotype was made by Daugare —a Frenchman.
The first tubular well bored was at Long Wharf, Boston. it was bored through salt water, and fioats were made in order to ascertain if fresh water could be obtained from under the bed of a salt water river. It proved a success.
The first sewing machine was invented by Elijah Howe.
WANDERER. Jan. 27, 1879. ZS & -— The Elder Kean and
the Elder Booth.
The elder Kean, when, at the height of his popularity at Drury Lane Theatre, be- came madly jealous of the succeas of the elder Booth, who was piaying at an East End theatre. He induced him to come over and act with him at a certain benefit performance. ‘‘ Othello” was the piece, and Booth was cast for Jago. At rehearsal Kean complained of langour and sick head- ache. He merely ‘‘ walked through” the part of Othello. Booth went away delight- ed, satisfied that he would have everything his own way on the night of the perform. ance. The eventful occasion arrived. The curtain rose, and presently Kean delivered the speech before the Senate; it was given in a flat and indifferent manner, and
made no impression on the au- dience. Booth, however, was re. ceived with enthusiasm, and scored hit
after hit. He was delighted. He had never acted better. Kean, fuming with rage, stood at the wing waiting for his cue. When it came he rushed upon the stage like an infuriated lion, pushing aside the critic of the Times, who happened to be by, and muttering, ‘‘By ——! I'll end this business at once.” He went up suddenly to Booth and glared at him so fiercely as to disconcert him entirely, and when he seized him by the throat with the words, ‘‘Be sure you prove my love a wanton —,” poor Tago was so scared that he all but forgot his lines, and did not recover his composure until long after the fall of the curtain® Kean was like a frenzied man, and seemed to feel that he really was Othello and was only punishing {ago as he deserved. The audience, who did net guess the state of affairs, were delighted, and called him be- fore the curtain again and again. These eminent tragedians never played together
again. 2 © a -— -—- -
The cho says that the new Scotch Mar-
riage Act, just come into force, practically destroys the Church of Scotland as a mar- riage institution. No man or woman north of the Tweed can reasonably complain that the law places obstacles in the way of legal and regular marriage. There is still a resi- dence qualification, though reduced from six weeks to two, but the other essentials are few and simple. The bridegroom, on furnishing the registrar of the district with a marriage notice, hands over at the same time eighteen pence. After the notice has been on view at the registrar’s office a week the bridegroom obtains, on payment of an- other shilling, a ‘‘certificate of proclama- tion,” and, with this in his pocket, he can go straight with his bride and get married by the nearest clergyman. The new Act does not affect the previously existing ar- rangements, which, however, are no longer compulsory. Dissenters, as a rule, will probably ees under the new Act, as it removes all necessity for the presence, in any form, of Church influence. 1a An Ottawa schoolboy the other day wished to find out the sensation caused by the tongue resting on frosty iron. He ace cordingly placed his tongue on a bridge railing, and drew it away minus the tor. Almost immediately it came in contact with the iron it became firmly attached, and the boy vainly endeavored to get free, until, with a jerk, he tore it away. Mr. Whistler, not content with his fan thing, which he is said to wear on his watchguard, has written a pamphlet, re- viewing his case against Ruskin, under the title of ‘‘An Arrangement in Black and White.”
