A tow days ago two New York gentlemen went out by agreement and took a idiot at each other, with a little blood-letting as the remilt. A few mouths ago two other citizens equal in valor and paucity of bruins Made targets at themselves for mutuul satisfaction to no result whatever. And now Representa tive lioatnor of Louisiana and Kdi tor Ilcarscy of the New Orleans ".States" are talking truculently of pistols, bowies and coll'ee, and sending friends to arrange details for a meeting. The curious thing about these affairs is that nobody seems to think of interfering in the matter. Neither the gentlemen other hand, the season has been unfavorable. The Grand Island and Norfolk factories both refused to accept quantities of beets on ac count of their low grade, and those that were taken yielded an average of less than 12 tier cent of sugar It is apparent that sugar beets may pay in some places and will not pay in others. This being the case, something definite should be ascer tained concerning the conditions in Oregon and Washington before much money is invested. Oregoni an.
