Judge Jewett ran for governor in 1861 but was defeated. In 1873 he was elected to Congress, but resigned to take the presidency of the Erie Rail road, requiring, It is said, a bonus of one hundred thousand dollars and a salary of forty thousand dollars a year for five years. lie has achloved great sUcCes in the a nagenent of this and other railroads. He is popular both n Now York and Ohio, and they say lie would enlist. the railroad interest In his favor. We mention him as one of the dark horses. Sugar From Corn Stalks. A correspondent of the New York fe:ald, writing from Washington, makes some startling statements re garding the orogress made at the agri cultuiral bureau in extracting well graniulated sugar of a high grade from sorgiui and from millet and corn stalks. Professor Collyer Is the chemist inl charge of the experiments, froi whoi, and from Professor Le Duo, the following facts are obtained: Previous to 1877 all methods to manufacture sugar successfully from beets or sorghum had fa!ed, and it was believed that the only sugar-bear ing products were the real ribbon-cane and the sugar maple. Of the latter only twenty-eight million pouds are anially produced, a mere drop in tihe bucket, and the forests arc being rapidly killed cut. The suigar pro duelig belt on the Gulf yielded two hundred and fifty million pounds, while the imports were seventeen hun dred nillion poimnds of sugar, besides quantities of molasses, melado and different formis of isierose, being an increase of three hundred million Volinds over that of the preceding year. It is estimated that 4lie an nutial conbumptionl of sugar in this Country is forty pounds pcr capita, against sixty pounds per copita in Enigland, and munch more inl Fe,ancc, showing that sugar is not yet cheap Or abundant enough in this country. At sixty pounds each, our pleople 'would consume 'thr'ee thousand million p)ounds, costinig, at seven cenits a pound1(, two hundred anid ten million dollars. Yet sorghum sugars last year brought readily ten cents a 1)ound(. By means of limprovedl methods, Professor Collyer has priodunced the following per centage of' sugar: From Louisiana cane sixteen per cent., Amber sorghum seventeen per cent., Chinese sorghum fourteen per cent., Liberian caiie fit'teen per cent., lIon duras cane fifteen per cent., and firom Pearl millet eleven per cent. One acre of Ilondur'as cane has yielded t wo tonis of sugar', and from others one tonl each. But the most remarka ble results were from white field cor'n, known as the "horse tooth,'' of which an acre pr'oduccd sixty-nine bushels - of cor'n, while the stalks, when gr'ound, yielded half a ton of sugar of a good variety. The ground stalks made good food for cattle. The abov'e facts fbrnish the founda tion for air castles of the most mag nificent description. Taking the value of this corn crop for a year at four' hundred mililoi dollar's, and the posB-c Bible yield of sugar at half as much 1 nior'e, the magnificent bonanza of six i hulndr'ed illioin dollars a year Is pos sib,le.. The11 machinery for making sugar oft * sorghum or cor'n is said to be of a sim l)le and inexpensive nature, and til though Commiissoier LeDuci's drecam may never be realized to the extent of corn-stalks, It 18 never'theless certain j that a new imp)etus wvill be given to the cultivation of the better varieties of sorghum.j When the Fir'st Napoleon, when' I Franice, under the blockade of the i English navy, was cut off' fr'om her i foreign supplies, oflferced a reward of I h00,000f, for a home prioduced substi tute for the sugar of the Weost Indies I wvhih could be produced equal to the I wvants of the Frencvh peCople, lhe se cured a reward worth incalculably * ~more to France thani all is victoi'ies * in the battle field--a reward the value of which cannot be reached In the 1 millions of meney saved-to France in her beet root sugar. How, then, can we estimate the value of these newv ap. pliances which render the production ' of sugar fronm sorghum and corn stalks a more profitable industry 'on our large Southern plantations than cotton, and eli ourj small Northoe'n 1 farms yielding a richer return than I corn, wheat, gr'ass or' potatoes?.1 LIFE 35s PLEASURE.-.-Only when *we are in tlw ouenjoytnent of' till our facttlties anid in perfedt liealth.

(iccording to one story it Is the in rention of a deaf mute in Hart ford, ivho mnade it for the entertainment o the Inmates of the asyluin where he ived, without a thought, of the insane isyluis for which it seems likely to nake so many patients. Another itory ascribes the thinig to the post; naster at Canastota, N.

But vhocver invented it, it is the manu acturers who are reaping the profit. tis not patented, but the manutacture Lppears to have been conflued thus far o two New England firms, who are iaid to have been turning out the ranies at. the rate of six or eight thou and a day and still hardly to have itipplied the demand. The puzzle Is o be Seen everywhere. From the liu( on the betch to the bootblack on lie sidewilic, everybody Is puzzling >ver it. The soientific people are dis ,ussing it, and for the last few dave lie newspapers have beCen full of it. [ihe apparatus consists of sixteen little iquares of wood, numbered consecu ive flom one to sixteen1, and fitting xaIctly ie a shallow square box.

It Is not necessary, however, to re ort to such heroic measures. The 13, 6, 14 combInation Is soluble, bu.t only *y changing thme direction oJthe cot 'ins. Thl Is Is thme secret of the prob 3m. The player has started wvith the 'ur lose of-arranging the numiiber's In or zon tal rows, anid lie has failed, lie as now to go onl from this halting 'lace and arrange them In t'ertical col inn.. This Is the Idea Intended to be onveyed by those who have spoken f "turning the board," a phlrase ap arently brrowed from chess, but inly confisin In "fifteen." It Is not ecessary to glye all of the twenty ine moves required for the solution f the p)roblemi, but the following wvill nablo every one to work It out: Taking the last position when all: lie numU lens are in pre r order ex opt the 18 15, 14, l'tmove down ho 4, 8 anC 12 so as to leave the openi untire in the upper right hand corner.

Continue moving hie outer row around the board as above shown, till the following posi, ion is reached 9 5(8) 18 8 7 8 14 12 8 * T h n i t ~ it o o v e t n n 6vei6ntmore brht11i1ig fie uum beis to the position 18. 'The positions are as follows: 9 6 1 2 9 5 1 2 18 6 7 8 18;6 7 8 15 11 4 14 16 11 4 14 10 12 8 10 12 8 Following are the positiolls after every other one of the next six moves: (15) * (17) (19) 9 5 1 13 9 5 1 13 9 5 1 13 6 7 2 14 6 7 2 14 6 2 14 15 11 2 15 11 8 15 11 7 8 10 12 8 4 10 12 8 4 10 12 8.4 The player may now begin to see his way out.. The next eight moves give the following results: (21) .

Very Well. Rut instead of starting out to Irrange them in horizontal lines begin with the vertical arrangement In view, with the 1 lin the lower left-hand cor ner. You can thus obtain this posi tion: 4 8 12 8 7 11 14 2 6 10 15 1 5 9 13 which corresponds precisely with the first position in the above' sel*l, as can be seen by turning the board upon its side, and the same moves Avill bring the numbers into horizontal op,er, exactly as shown in the large diagram at the beginning of this artiCe. The numbers can be arrang ed either way, but the socret of the su1ccess is at the apparently insupera ble poit., to change tihe lirectioln of the columns. THE MAGIC SQUARE No attempt has been inade here to enter into a scientific explanation of the puzzle or to do anything more than present one practical method of solv ing its difliculties. As fitleen num bors are susceptible of no less than 1,3 7,674,308,A00direnci1tcomibiniationsf It is plaili that the mathematical -pos sibilitles of this puzzle cannot be treated in a single article. Another i form of entertainment wihich the "Gem" affords is in arranging the Wi'holo sixteen Sqbares in * such order 1 that the sum of the numbers in every colitigous row, ~'ertcal horizontal ilta ferfnog the- old mitgic squar-e, which hnas' furniished -diversion to mathemnaticipns for so many centuries.

Sone PerUnent temarks on tho Extiting BrQ.uk at Columbia-Why Charleston is Interested In Keeping a Close ConnectIon wit the Up-Country. (From the Yorkville Enquirer.) A reporter for the Charleston Vews oad CoUHer recently interviewed Mr. Peck, stiperintendent of the South Carolina Railroad, on the subject of making close connection at - Columbia with the C. C. & A. Road, thereby placing Charleston IIn closer comnuni cation with the up-count.ry than at present. The superintendent inform ed the reporter that. there Is no present inteition of chnging the schedule on the South Carolina road so as to make the connection desired. lie said that "the South Carollina road has very lit tie travel for the Charlotte road, and the present.slcehule suits tihe people very wll; that the Inaking of the con nection at Columbia would not be to the advantage of any body except, per hags, the News Iad Coarier." For the information of the Charles ton people. it is deemed not amiss to say. that jlst such at policy as that inqi cated by Mr. Stperintendont Peck 'has had inuch to do with diverting the trade of the Piedmont section from that city-the inetropols of tite State, in whose prosperity all our people would rejoice. But It is idle to talk about the people of the upper counties having business relations with Charles ton, when Atlanta, lichmond and Baltimore can be reached in a shorter time. Mr. Superintendent Peck, wheth er he means to do so or not, pursues a course the effect of which is to drive trffic and travel from the commercial city of the State. le forgets that wlille his road could be an important feeder to that city, emptying into her lap the products of a rich and fertile section, it is after all but local in its signiftealce, and cannot control the movements of longer and equally in portant lines. The railroad system of the State, or of the South, will hardly stop to consult the convenience of the South Carolina Road, ntor wNill it."e se riously atIected by the movements of that rad; and in this respect Mr. Su1 perihite4ent Peck might derive a les son figm Mahonet. When that wor thy, after calling the mountain to him, discovered that it was iiot likelv to obey le sumnions, w*ith a courtesy rarely' witnessed these days the accom mnodathig prophet gracefully and un conditionally wvalked up to the moun tain. 'Jnf the circumstances, Alahomet could have done nothing neater. Butour own people, as well as those of Charleston, may congratulate them selves upon the fact that within a few months at farthest, a new outlet will be opened from this section to the City by the Sea-a line that will be entire lv independent of the South Carolina ltail ;oad. When this line Is complet ed, the inanagement of the South Caro lina Railroad mnv discover that much of the n'eigilt it lias heretofore handled will go over the new line, 'and the ne Dessity forclose connection at Column bla may then be even less than at pres Dnt. The new line to which we refer will be over the North-Eastein Reilroad to Cheraw; thence by the Cheraw and Wadesboro Railroad to Wadesboro, where connect.ion will be made with lte Carolina Central, which line con iects with the net-work of roads con etrat.ing at Charlotte. The distance between Cheraw (the iorthern terminus of the North-East arni:Raikond) and Wadesboro is twen ~y-six miles. The Cheraw anad Wades ioro road,.has been graded the entire ength,pnd.the ttrainas are runnaing on t twointy miles fromt Cherawv, leaving nly six miles to finisha, for which the aecessary iron has been ordered and vill be.put down at once after Its ar 'ival. Theon the people of the up ~ountry can go to Charlestona within a easonmablo time, though to do sc) they nay haave to travel around their own state anad tharough another-all because heo various lines txtentdinig from the North to the South do taot arrange heir time-tables to suit the conven once of the South Carolina Railroad.
