to go free of duty into Mexico.
This taking the duty, off 3Iexican
sugar has stirred up the sugar
planters of Louisiana and the whole
sugar,region of the south-west, and
they, are bringing all their influ
ence to bear upon, the Senate in op
position to the ratification of the
treaty. They say that the great
railroad corporations, which are
penetratinjg Mexico with their lines,
and the large sugar refineries in
our citie?, are looking forward to a
profitable "increase of profits by
bringing free sugar from Mexico, to
the detriment of the , home interest
in Louisiana. They argue that by
liieaus of this industry they are
. fast; recovering from the disasters
of the war that the colored as well
as 1 he white men are deeplj inter
estecl ..in it,-r and that our govern

.. it is not our xrovince to

' Jiuestion, but we occasionally come
across a paragraph couched in Ian
.guage so strong and truthful as to
iclaiiii i a little space. This, tor in.
stance is true as' preaching:

Why i It is whispered all through
. the community, 'IIe drinks ! he
: driiiks!" That blasts him. Wrh'en
a. young man losesH his reputation
for sobriety, he might as well be at
the bottom of the sea. !t -;
Here is another little bit, from
ah Engl.sh preacher :
I venture to say,i from' my expe
i ience, that driuk has ruined more
$oung men starting in life, it has
irobbedof their honor more fine wo
men, it has brought down more
gray hairs ; withr bitter sorrow to
,lhe grave, Lit .has! emptied more
Churches aiid chapels, and I say it
lias damned more souls than all of

rolled into one. .. :
that while
the foregoing illustrations have
been fstated iu 'relation to-a-ater
ower. thej' are equally true for
the other powers, such as steam
engine, gas engine, horse power, or
human labor. The fixed engine on
a Jarm cm do the plowing hun-
dreds of yards-off. The ga engine
that pumps water by day can light
the house at . night. ; The horses
that drag coal carts formally miles
to work a steam engine iu

n stead to work an elec'nc ma
chine, with no loss of time and iu
main' eases with less waste of la

can be doing work by it at any part
of or even outside the prison. In
a word, the jower for work can be
generated by any ordinary menus,
and at auv place where the means
exist, and can be economically con
veyed to the spot where it is to be
usefully applied without loss of
time and practically in full
strength. The tide, on the shore
can do work far inland ; the stream
in the mountain gorge can do work
on the hilltop; the wuid-mui on
the eminence can do -.work iu the
valley : the horse in 4the yard or
the roan in the out house can do
work inside the dwelling.. And
with all its power and its univer
sality of application, this 'new ser
vant which science has supplied us
with is the most docile of menials.

it is nearly a year off, such ample

made as will insure all the South

representation, and the Times-Democrat
concludes that if the interest
increases as the opening draws
nearerj as there is every reason to
expect the South will make an
even better display than had been
hoped for. A grand opportunity
will be offered to Baltimore cnter
prise to display itself at this exfiosi
tion, and it is gratifying to know
that some action is on foot with
that object in view. Mr. F. C4
Morehead, commissioner-general,'
was iu Baltimore yesterday, ac
companied by Col. Staples, of
North Carolina, to confer with the
leading citizens ou the subject. It
is understood that a meeting has
been arranged for Thursday week
for the purpose of taking united
action in the matter of having
Baltimore and Maryland industries

Impure Water Found in a Holy! Well at
. - Mecca. ; ' . ''
: A terrible calamity has just hap
lened which ought to shake the
Mohammedan religion to its found
ation. The distinguished analyst,
Prof. Hcaton, has been making a
Chemical examination of the water
of the holy well of Zciu-zera at
Mecca, and has discovered it to be
nil of the .worst kinds of jmpuri
ies. I Since! Hs rediscovery iu the
i lixth centnry by the grandfather
of the prophet Mohammed this well
lav formed the chief supply of
prater to the millions of pilgrims
who have annually resorted to
leci'a to pay their respects jto the"
famous hlack stone that adorns the
corner cf the Kaaba. There was
and is no ailment for which; Zem
2em water is not a sovereign renie
dy; and its effects upon the ineiifal
powers are equally remarkable, so
that a celebrated Moslem recorder
of theological tradition traced his'
wonderful memory entirely io his
copious draughts from ' Hagar's
Well.j It is a humiliating reflec
tion that, owing to the carelessness
of the iuhbitants of Mecca in sani
tary matters, this miraculous water
should Iks charged with all sorts of
impurities. r But it is some consola
tion to reflect that if the well water
could work such wonders in so im
pure it state there would probably
be no limit to its owcrs if it were
cleansed
