New Y ork Laa sent the editor of tbo Post a earn pie
ot very good brandy, made from thg eyrop of tuo ^ |
new sugar plant, the Sorgho, or Cbiueoeeagereono. .
He aoya it coats about 30 cents per gallon to pro- 1
doce, a 10 it ia worth in the market from $1 to f9 j
per gallon, according to quality. In a note ho JE 1
aoya:
The manufacture of apiiit from tho aorgbo may
now bq-carried on by our farmers io tbo winter
season, when there fa no other oocnpatloa for them,
at the rate flt a gallon of proof spirit for each gallon
of fermented ayrup. Thie will find ready sal- at
the rectifier's, who will tarn it into alcohol for coin*
phone and other purpores. The quantity of alcohol
now used for purposes of illumination alone, to any
^ t:. r bLr si - ' * " "
n>.uni|i v< ui uiviio, ciuuro.orin and niedml tttract*,
is enormous, and wo* beginning to hava
(eriuua effect on the price of bread, owing to tho i
wholesale dent ruction of the cereal* required to produce
it. Now, however, we have found a substitute,
which, besides supplying syrup and alcohol,
will also yield from the sumo crop a large amount *' ,
of forage uud grain for fattening of stock.
Thk Fa la Fashions?The editor^of the An- '

be much changed. Gentlemen will continue to

GOOD ADVICE loTHUm AND YOURSELF..
There ia nothing truer than these lines:
"Men at sometimes arc masters of the r fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, ia not iu our stnrs.
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
When we consider that a chance is presented toll
ic reader, which Brutus never liad, it is strange
if he should decline to become the "master of his
late " Swan & C wiih their popular Georgia
Lotteries, come once in every week, on Saturday,
nt Atlanta, Georgia, to allow tlie adventurers a
cluu.ee to get easy lor I fo. Many liave availed
themselves of these opportunities, and now bask in
the sunshine iT piosperity. An inve-tment of $10
books one for splendid fortune; $5 for ou elegant
competency; and $2 50 for a comfortable start ia
life. The chance* do not depend on the operation*
of the "Balls'' and tho "Bears." The stock dors
not fluctuate; the chan<*es arc a) ways the same; and
large sums lire diawn out every week by thtae who
nev? r aaar large sums brtve. Why, then,eontioae
to be an "underlingT** Tn now, and if unsocccsslul,
remember that next Saturday you will have
another opportunely. Remember that every brat*
