XANKERS trOK THE ROAD.
OF SANDED SUGAR.
My dear II oratio,? I was lately read
ing my newspaper after breakfast, and
came in tho regnlaf ordur*-?for I should
bd sorry to perform so important a cere
mony in a disorderly uianrrer?npou a
teport concerning the sauding of sugar.
The details were very unpleasant; but
I am not so sure, since We aftr told that
we mnst ?II cat our peck ot dirt, that it
is ft.>t as agreeable to have it sweetened
and to consume it, as it were, surrep
titiously. I went buck to the table and
looked iu my cup, but I could see no
rand; and I inspected tho sugur bowl,
but all looked fair The" hue was not
us satisfactory, indeed, aa that of the"
table Cloth, b?t I 8aW 00 sund. Indeed
it is not to be found in that kind oi
sugar. The adulteration is in the
brown, in the sugar that my pooror
neighbors buy fof their Coffee ; and the
reporter tells me (hat the-e is aa enor
mous quantity of that sauded sugar al
ways iu the market.
1 have my rea3oos for believing him,
although, as I have told you. I do not
fiud them in my own sugur bowl. But
I observe that sugar of every kind is so
profusely sauded that I can readily be
lieve it of this particular form. I re
member that among the boys at school
there was a saying that you had better
bite Deacon Truss's eaudy carefully, or
you would break yowr teeth ayainst u
boulder. He Was to? sfircWtf a merch
ant to "educe the bulk of the sugar
which he trausformed into candy, so
thut wc consumed it in the original
state, and cousuuied it at our ptril. The
deacon did not see why he .should losd
jecuOee Bintat people chose to sand the
strgar lhaft they sold him, aud even if
they put ptfbrjfcH fovto it he Wotild .-how
them that it should'trot be to his injury.
'1 hat assertion was fully vindicated whe?
eVer a boy's tooth was broker*.
What I meant to ssy wusr that there
is a great deal of fine manner which

at the dcaCon's candy. It may be sugar,
but it may also be sanded, aud even
with grains of the pebble size. If you
know i'uliuurus, you know probably
what 1 mean. His nomrter ih wonder
ful. He probably early heard ami
entirely misunderstood the remark that
manners make the man. lie IS till SUilh'S
aud softness und smoothness: a kind ol
silk or satin man. He is described t>y
all the adjectives that begin with asibii
a lit, und u broad ode oi the words thai
characterise his manners Seems to be a

easy to iumgioe him dissolving in hin

indeed, how often have I been in u

hs he appeared thut we were a cup ot
very indifferent mixture to which the
saccharine element was now added?the

gentle delereooe; he acquieaoes With an
obsequious bow before you hare said
what you mean; and Mrs. General, who
I devcted her life to cultivating in others
a ' stewed prune" expression of counten
ance, could have been taught by
Puliuurus. The difficulty is that the
sugar is sanded. You have to receive
the uiuntiers of Palinurus us the boys bit
Deacon Truss's candy?with the con
scious possibility of encountering a'
boulder* All (his sugar is aauded with
insincerity. The boulder against which
you faight break your teeth is falsity.
And why, 1 say, as I lead iu the news
paper the report about the grocers?why
should not sugar be sanded, it manners

Dues it go beyond manners ? I asked
myself the question because I ehauced
to sec Felinu tripping by iu the morn*

tion, und 1 "hell not deny that ehe has
great attract ions. It is a cheerful, buoy
uut tcuiperament. She is gay, aud
makes others so. Fcliua is a swoet wo
man, is the general remark ; and dow
uger Indies tap Whisker, her h urban .J,
with iheir luus as he briugs thcui stewed
lerrap.n ut nupper, and suy to him, "Do
you know yeur blessings/ Do you
know what it is to have such a woman
as Feline as the gugar iu your cup ?"
Whisker thinks that he does. lie
iiuugiu.es thut he kuows all ubout it. bhe
is jili as .ut aud gay, hut she is not an
angel. She is, indeed, "a sweet little
thiug," but 'tho house is untidy, the
children are slatternly. Fcliua is very
lov'y, hut very la*y aud shift loss, j
"Certainly, dear madatuc," he? replies to
Mrs. Terrapin j ''certainly, Fcliua is the
sugar iu tuy tup "' Audibly he says no
mor**, and stands grinning but ore tho
dowager. Dut if he does uot say it to j
himself, he feels always, "Sugar ! oh, !
certainly, sugar j but it k sanded."
When Felicia had passed I did not I
take up thy paper. T was thinking of n i
certain friend of ours who, as he say, is I
also the friend of all uufortu tatq causes.
?'It is my g'ory," he adds, 'to he ad
dicted to philanthropy. What is more
elevating than philanthropy ? Hail
philanthropy, and all the oppressed
peoples and unfortunate causes 1" What
a churm that call hoi*! Our friend has
not spared h's tongue or his pen iu ad
vocatirrg the project of u balloon express
to the moon, which ho declares will be a
boon to suttering humanity. '"Give us."
he cries, "0 perverse aud fickle genera
tion, give us but a balloon express to the
moon, and humanity will cease to suffer.
In the name of Immunity I demand this
and every other ki.id of express." Here
are honest sympathy aud siueerc hupe

His theology is set thick with aogry

over. But his Hie is self-denying; it is

mortifies the flesh than he. Satan takes
him up into tbe high mountains of am

could not stir, thin, wasted, dry, with

library into the pulpit, and no demon
whom he has triumphantly despised is
more appalling than the demon that he
depicts God to be. Alus, Horatio, even

Or, again, the brother who is not dry,

says truly that no man can teach mcu

that a minister shall be a monk? Do

Far from it. No men more fatally

I boliove the plot to oominate him was

perfectly certain that there is a distinct
mutual understanding, if not a positive

Hon. A H. Stepheua, io a lengthy
editorial iu tho Atlant i Sun,' pitches
into August Beltnont and his Democrat
ic coadjutors for what he styles trying
to "hitch the Democratic car to tho
Radical engine "at Cincinnati by working
up Charles Francis Adams as a candi
date to the Presidency, aud continents,
in a characteristic vein, against the
policy of giving up tho "Jofl'ersouian
platform," or of Democrats voliug for
any other than Democratic candidates,
j He trusts they will not, for a moment,
j entertain the idea of choosing between
i Gen. Giltst and Mr. Groeley. Ii is
\ trun, he says, that Qre< !ey went br.il for
Mr. Davis, but Grant prevented the ar
rest of General Lee. Besides, he adds,
if Mr. Greeley has ever raised his voice
against either of the "enforcement
acts," even the infamous ku-klux act, he
is not aware of it. He does uot suggest,
however, any practical way out of tribu
lation for his brethren of tho South.
The Aikcu Tribune learns, trutn a
recent personal conference with some of
the members of the Executive Committee
of the party; "that the State Republican
Conveutiou for the nomination of a State j
ticket, aud the transaction of other bust- j
ness incidental to the interests of the
Republican party in the approaching j
campaign, will uot be called until the
latter part of month of the August or
early iu h'epf einher. In deciding upon this j
course the Executive Committee arc j
influenced by tho very laudable desire
to avoid tho disturbance of the ncrricul- I
tural interests of the country whi.-h a
canvass at any earlier day would inevi
table occasion, and in this view the
committee will be sustained by theeouu

that her feeble arms might in some waj

Unaccountable Phenomena at
a Party.?The foliowiog story is told
of a young lady aud a gentleman at a
fashionable purty in Nashville :
The young raao was handsome and
happy, the young lady arrcyed in
lavender, rose, &c, with gold powdered
hair flowingover her swan-like neck. Find
ing the heat of the room too much for
them, thoy "J< ught the cord shade of an
arbor, where they might iiolea to the
fountain's fall. The music rose and fell,
tin.e flew on silver pinions, aud after an
I abseucc of at least an hour, our young
. friends re-entered the brilliantly illmni
uuted parlors. The lady passed on in
I the dance, but the young man was
slightly taken uback by his uert neigh
bor informing him that round his ueck
was the unmistakable priut of two arms
in chalk and diamond dust, and ou one
shoulder a quantity of yollow dust,
bloom of Jpulh, and yellow powder mix
el up generally. The lady's hair was
observed to be several shades palor.
A touching incident is reported from
Chattanooga. An utter stranger called
on a respectable farmer last week, and
asked him if his house had not oueu
robbed during the war. The farmer re
plied that it had. UI," said the strang
er, "was one of the marauding party
that took it. I took a little silver lock
et." "That locket," said tho farmer,
bursting into tears, "had been woru by
my dear, dead child." "Here it is," re
plied the stranger, visibly affected; "I
am rich ; let me make restitution; here
arc ?20 for your little son." He gave
tl?e farmer n S50 bill and received 830

since dried his tears and 1 )adcd his bltOt

?O oid lady who wus iu the habit of
