Feb. 10,1S78. I ki>4w that the Herald is not by arty mAes an agricultural paper, yet here iJ somethin^ Tor the fourth page of the paper that will be of great bene fit to tj}l whom It may concern ; About twenty years ago, I believe, the swghum sugar-cane was Intro duced.Into the Dnlted States. I have experitr&nted and workett with It in making molasses till I will show syrup with tiny man ; the test being a mild, sweet) pleasant taste, and a fiavor equal to any molasses, I care not wherQmade, or what madooutof. The Soutfi American cane Is the kind that I plant. It is a stubbed cane, has a nakcdretl colored seed. For the past three years I have cut the heads off my cane Just as scon as they grew out. ■Whehyour cane beada are fairly out, get oa the tallest mule or horse that you Have and with a long keen butcher knff<\ you can rido along between the rowsAnd top an acre a day, and not work very hard. Then let it stand thrh#or four weeks, or till It matures, thetrwork it up ; and If you have the sntnft good success that I have had, your neighbors will be very highly pleased. Some may eay this topping of cane to tnako good molasses looks like a big humbug, it will make It succor out and ruin, and I shall lose the seed ! Well; what If I do lose the heads, so you get more aud better molasses, ff you feel suspicious, try only a part of your cane, ao I did at first, and you will Sad that if plenty of rain comes It will put cut about two succors at the top joints, but if a drouth comes 'on, yon can top the second time or grind them through, they won t do much hurt. You will only have skim a ttttio more. To my Christian and Granger friends, I wish to euggest a few thoughts. When you raise tobacco, ao soon as you see the seed bloom making Its appearance, pluck it off. You call this topping it. Vou do this that you make more and better tobao co. For the same purpose I top my case, that I may make mote and better syrup. In the southern part of Florida I have bean credibly informed, they plant a corn very much like our Indian corn. They plant It to make sugar.- As svo^ a3 The shoot and tassel grow out they arc both pulled off. The stalk then stands and matures, and frorC It Is made as fine ajsugar as the world ever saw. Hut if the tassel and ear remain and mature, they can only make a very inferior article of molas ses from the stall!. There is just as another hand must stand ready with a dipper full of hot jtlloe from your clari fying kettle, to quickly put in elx gal lons vif juice, In order to repeat the same process over and over In all your three small kettles. Your mill should ke^p ahead of yeti with fresh juice, if It does not you will have to put water In some of your kettles, in order to let the mill catch up with the kettles. When you have to substitute water for juice it is a waste of time and fire. But if your mill will .keep ahead with juice, as soon as your first big kettle full is clarified, you will put six gallons Into each of your kettlesand 4, aud empty your big kettle (No. X) ihto No. 2, aud then fill dp your big kettle the second time with fresh Juice, so as to be sure to keep ypuf small kettles supplied with plenty of clarified juice. You will find my plan to be a complete syste matic process. Two good smart men will mind the three small kettles, ami one active man will mind the fire and the clarifying kettle, and occa sionally help the ladies when they are taking up molasses. With juet such help as above described, and just such an outfit, I have made from 30 to 40 gallons day after day, sometimes 45 and even as high as 58 gallons in one day. This way of boiling molasses like you were making soap will not do. But, says one : "Why don’t you get an evaporator?” Just because evapo rators are of short duration, cost more than kettles, and then I cannot use lime as I can with the kettles. One good set of kettles will last as long as three evaporators. Tut says another, “Don’t you often by boiling so rapidly, acqrc'a or burn your syrup ?’’ No Sir. I place bars of iron across the furnace between the kettles, so that I can fill in with rock and mortar, keeping the direct heat of the fire away from the t0 sides of the kettles, letting the direct heat come only to the bottom of the kettle. If the furnace should get furi ously hot, so that you are afraid of scorchigg, throw a dipper of water in to the furnace; but if In taking up mo lasses you see anything like burn or scorch, rinse Out yout kettle with your shuck mop and a little water, and then in with your fresh juice. I could say more that would bo of benefit perhaps, but for fear 1 should intrude on the Herald I will just say, try what I have said and see if you arc benefitted.

James Bowie, the famous fighter and Inventor of the knife which bears his name, used to spend a great deal of his time In that city. Ho was chal lenged by a gentleman from Alexan dria, La., whose friends to the num ber of forty or mofe, accompanied him to Nachez to eee fair play, knowing that Bowie was a desperate man and had btraMaads about Mm. AH parties went nrSn the field, The combatants took their places In the centre, separa- from their friends in the rear, or not enough to endanger them with their balls. Behold the battle array thus: Twenty armed Louisianians fifty yards behind their champion and his sec onds and surgeon, and opposite them, as far behind Bowie and hla seconds and surgeon, twenty armed Mississip- pianb. Behold the heights of Nachez thronged with spectators and a steam er In the river rounded to, Its dock black with passengers watching with deep Interest the scene. The plan of fight was to eichaft'go shots twice with the pistols and to close with knives, Bowie being armed with his own ter rible weapon. At the first fire both parties escaped. At the second ths Louisianian was too quick and took advantage of Bowie, who waited the word*. At this Bowie’s second cried “foul play,” and shot the Louls- instantly killed the slayer of his pi In ripal, Itowio drove his knife Into this man. The surgeono now crossed blades, while, with loud cries, oarne on the two parties of friends, the light of battle iu their eyes, lu a moment the whole number were engaged iu a fear less conflict Dirks, piotols and knives were used with fatal effect until one party drove the other from the field. I do not know how many were killed and wounded In all, but it was a dread ful slaughter. Bowie fought like a lion, but fell covered with wounds.

" ‘t* % i ’ y^, A ourious story of a homicide at Staunton River bridge, on the Rich mond and Danville Railroad, was brought in yesterday by the railroad men aud others connected with the train. It seems that the watchman at the bridge is a rather eccentric little Irishman, who lives alone in a small cabin near the track. Re Is known on the railroad by no Othei r name than ‘‘Jimmie.” His Instructions aw* not to allow any one to pass through the bridge after night, and there is reason to bellevs that ho never allows this* command to be violated. gator- day night one of the firemen \n one of the little steamboats which run up and down tho river, attempted to crews, but was ordered not to do so. Ho persisted but'the Irishman was posi tive, add finally he gave up the at tempt and departed. This happened about 8 o’clock. Subsequently the man returned, ark! began to throw stonee at the watchman, who was compelled to retreat to his cabin for protection. The stone-thrower began to stone the house. Finally the Irish man grew tired of this and shot his persecutor, killing him Instantly. The next morning’ when the train passed by the bridge “Jimmie” was seated oh the railroad, and by bis side was the body of the man he had slain, dressed aad laid out. No ona being near when the killing was done, and the watchman not being allowed to leave the bridge to tell what ooeured, bo had taken the body, washed and dressed it himself, and laid ft out, and seating himself by the side of It, had patiently^walted till some one should come aad relievo him. In this postion, as stated avove, ho was scon whoa the train passed the bridge. Ou the following day “Jimmie” was arrested aud taken before a magistrate, but upon au Investigation of the case he was dismissed and allowed to re turn to his lonely little house on tho side of the river, and to resume his responsible duties at tho bridge.— Charlotte Observer. . ir o your grape vino to make it produce more and bett?r grapes.

As soon as ' the young lady, attired iu aq, orange-1 colored costume, appeared ou the steamer which was to accompany her she was greeted with cheers, anrf the cheering was repeated when she dived into the water. She was followed on the journey by a boat containing Prof. Beckwith and his son Willie, the cham pion of London. She swam in the mid dle of the stream, with a long, power ful breast stroke, and reached Lam beth bridge In 9 minutes. Battersea bridge was passed in 34 minutes and CbelssalndT minutes, while tho dis tance covered in the first hour was about three and a quarter miles.

To him there was nothing more in the handling of bodies than In so many bolts of cloth or sacks of grain, and no more in dissection than In the business of th'e butcher or the. meat vender. Ho began his work with "Old Canny,” the noted resurrectionist, and followed it through all seasons add all weather, until only a few weeks before his death, lu it he encountered a9 sorts ol weather add exposures, and so contracted colds and a cough which flna!ly‘"led to bleeding of tho luigs. and so his life among tho dead sided in death, whoso presence was;*s fa miliar to him as the days or bis years it, and no# with yoar. hjng handled oC manhood.

Friends re paired to the spot and found him inani mate, but statue-like and Immovable, The horse was removed without diffi culty, butAU efforts to altwj the po sition of the man proved unavailing. Finally the plough-handles were sawed off just below the part around which his hands were clasped with a death like grip, and, remarkable to say, blood Issued therefrom as though they had been humaq flesh. But this Is not all. When It was ascertain ed that nothing could remove the un- fortuate mau, a shelter was ereqted by the persoqs present to protect him from the weather, but scarcely had the work been accomplished, when by meaner of some invisible agency, it was proatrated to tlxg ground.
