I»OWEB OF THE

rlraAtcd our Helves to tu larpc dealer in
ii'ardeu produre, arklnp him wlmt kind
Ztil a record the men of whom he pur
chased mipplif h had for absolute honeaty.
He rmdied, “ There is but one man that

senHon that there intuit this one man of
all of them whose goods l do not inspect
Mr. Phillips, in Bteinway Hall on
“ The Press, its power for Good and
Evil,” among other things, said:
There were careful authorities which
estimated that 15,000,000 of newspapers
all of them whose gooiis l ao not inspect
with the greatest o! care before shipping
them away. Hia package* 1 never open,
but take hia word for their contents,
and have nover found an error in his
statement.”
“ Ifcx fl it pay this man to thus l>e an
exception to tho general rule?” we in
quired.
“ l*nv him? 1 puce* it does,” was the
ready ’reply. “ Wo can afford to give
him from five to ten per cent, moro for
liia produce, and then wo make more out
of it than any other stuff* we handle.”
IiurMlecting upon this mail’s state
ment we recalled a word spoken by a
Milwaukee lady whom wo met in August
and of whom we made inquiry concern
ing the standing of Michigan fruit in
her citv. . . , . . .
Said she: ,: T am right sorry about
it, but as you Michigan people gain in
the production of peaches, in just that
proportion do you lose your honesty'.
Nearly every package of peaches which
I have bought for two years has been a
fraud. Could l be certain bv purchas
ing any one brand of getting exactly
what the package purported to be, that
brand should have my patronage, even
at advanced prices. Hut unfortunately
I have not found the brand as yet that
insures the uniform quality 1 want.”
It is very strange that people will
persist in deceit when perfect honesty is
so direct in its preferment. An honest
package is its o*n advertisement; a
truthful statement concerning good is as
good as a poster; and when the producer
places upon the market only that which
will boar the severest test he will not
wait long for bpyers. A gentleman
from Grand Traver-e told us the other
day that his entire irop of potatoes was
sold in September—although they would
not be unbilled before the middle of
October—at prices fire per cent, above
the highest market quotations. Why?
Ilecanse for tome years he sold potatoes
ami nover has placed upon the market a
tuber without his name, and every
bushel was solected. '
There are a few men ip our own State
that command their own prices upon
i eve
people of the world. It would not be a
large calculation to say that there were
from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 human
beings who were daily and hourly sub*
jected to the government of this great
power. When they came to think of the
press, with its 15,000,000 agents, drop-

-honesty, at the same time never over-
retching propriety in naming the price.
Absolute trustworthiness goes beyoyd
the package. The bast kind of a reputa
tion to secure is indicted by the attitude
of tho consumer when he says, “ bring
me ten pounds of butter and present
your bill,” or “ I want a bushel of beans,
tt*a bushels of potatoes and a variety of
other vegetables for my winter use:
pl3ase deHver them at ray house ana
name your price.”
In all our acquaintance with farmers,
there are very few that come up to this
ideal of reputation, but it is worth seek
ing, and furnishes its own reward.
A young man brought up on the farm
it into the army in 1861, and after
ving through the war, came home
nus his right arm. He questioned
a time what he had better do as a
work, and because of his native
ility, was advised to co into a profes-
n, and thus be enabled to employ
Tinself where ho would least feel the
of his right arm. After a little
"reful thought, much to the surprise of
’ i he chose farming, saying
friends o ,
he believed he could mako his head
much use, and miss his arm
iji that vocation as any.
Ten years have elnpaed,’to-day his
position and prosperity are abundant
proof of the wisdom of his choice. Hia
mtellect has served his will better than
his muscle could have done.
Tho other day, a lad who knew of his
success, thought he would be a nice man
to work for, and applied for a place, re
ceiving the following responso: “ Young
min, we do a large business on our place
anu have a perfect division of labor. In
the management of the farm we have
help enongh, hut there is almost always
a vacancy in the mechanical department
if you wish a place there, come on.”
By guiding other men’s muscle and
practical capability, this man has made
a great success in an occupation that

London Examiner seems to be regarded
by several contemporaries as capping

Democrat and a whig would hardly
walk on the same side of the street, who
subscribed, on the 1st day of January
for a Democratic paper for the fun of it.
He thought that at his breakfast he
might be tickled with the absurity of
what it said. On the 4th day of Novem
ber following he voted the Democratic
ticket. [Laughter.] Such wa9 the re
sistless power of repetition. Lord
Palmerston had said in the very bight
of his popularity, “ I never dare contra
dint a journal, no matter what the
assault or how offensive the affirmation.
I know it has 865 more days in which to
repeat it, aud to make fun of me.” An \
so the magnanimous and obstinate Pre
mier remained silent rather than sub
ject himself to the sarcastic rejoinera oi
the press.
Man was put in communication with
the civilization of the age by the press,
llis hearers should remember, also, that
the press was the exclusive literature of
the masses. To the millions it was
literature, church aud college. Four
out of live persons never read a book.
It would be hardly too much to say that,
npeaking generally, four men out of five
seldom read a book. The daily press
was then to them parent, school, church
and college, counselor, and amusement.
It was their whole. A Scotchman had
said: “ Let me make the ballads, and I
care not who makes the laws.” To-day,
if he lived he would change that utter
ance, and say: “Let me make the
papers, and I don’t care what is
acted in Congress. 1
no doubt the material prosperity upon
which we so much prided ourselves, the
infinite invention and the total subjug’a
tion of nature and its forces to the will
of man, were almost exclusively due
t/i the irvteP.Hual development
which resulted from the press. It was
the trained mind which the press pro

[Laughter.] The press and the tele

of the Union. He thought that America
owed one half of its material prosperity,
if not more, to the development of tne

When he went back to the battle of

It did not volunteer an opinion. It had

A Marvelous Story.
Following is an extract from a letter
written from Matamoras, Mexico, by
Charles 8. Williams, formerly of Peoria,
111., to William T. Hubbard, of Quincy,
III:
You have doubtlea heard accounts of
the discoveries of gold in fabulous
quantities in the Sierra Mojadaa. The
accounts cannot be exaggerated, since
the imagination cannot conceive of inch
a vast quantity of gold and silver
hoarded by nature in one rugged moun
tain-range. The tallest stories would
not be fabulous in this case. I have
been there, and I know whereof I affirm.
You know I have been something of a
traveler: that I have seen the mines of
California, Australia and among the
Ural monntalns—for, during my wan
derings I corresponded with you'; but
Iseeathe
nowhere on this planet have
same richness in the mines—the same
uncounted tons of gold. The very
mountains, lofty and rugged as the’y
‘ ' i gold. Untold
are, seem to be built of gold. Untoh
millions of the yellow ores and dust are
in sight; how much there may be hidden
in the heart of mountains only He who
created all wealth can tell.'
If I had not been there, and one had
regard to those golden moun
tains, though he had been my nearest
kinsman,' or most trusted friend, *
truth. I shall not ask you
me when I sav that there are, in those
wild, almost ’inaccessible mountains,
great hills of gold, miles in length, hun
dreds of feet in height, and hundreds of
yards in width- And yet it is a literal
truth. And not far away fr6m the
golden hills there is a mountain of
silver ore, richer than any ores of Lead-
ville, Virginia City, or anv other
bonanza mines yet discovered. This
silver mountain ’ throws in the shade
the far-famed hill of Santa Eulalia, in
Chihuahua, from which $200,000,001 in
silver had been taken. I know you will
think I tell incredible stories. I have
not told half the truth.
But why are not these mines worked
—developed at once? The answer is
not difficult. They are In Mexico—and
nothing is done in a hurry, except
changing the government. In the next
•laoe, territorial jurisdiction is claimed
»y the three states of Coahuila, San
Luis Potosi, and Chihuahua. The
mines are undoubtedly clearly in the
state of San Luis Potosi; but the con
flicting claims must be settled, as each
has a military force in the neighbor
hood, and suppresses all attempts to
carry on mining operations. Then the

Criticising Mary Anderson.
For two evenings of this week the peo

first-class acting by Mary Anderson,
who has become a great favorite within
two years. The Sun blonde was on hand

was given, and even a deaf And dumb
and blind person could not help but be
impressed with the talent and beauty of
Mary Anderson. She is a marvel, and
can take on more emotion, and dresses,
in a single evening, than any of them.
She is about six feet in height, when in
repose, but when her frame is charged
with emotion, and she gets mad or ex
cited, she seems to raise right out of the
stage and telescope up until she is
eighteen or nineteen feet high, and
others on the stage look like dwarfs.

Chinese Printing.
The Chinese assert that the art of
printing was discovered in China about
fifty years before the Christian era.

making, A. y. oJ, i, py printed on silk
or cloth cut in the form o.* -’ravqs. Tbe
method used by the Chinese iu pribb.v^
their books is as follows::
In printing, the Chinese do not use a
press as we do; the delicate nature of
their paper would not admit of it;
when once the blocks are engraved, the
paper is cut and the ink is ready, one
man with his brush will print a large
number of sheets in a day.
The block to be printed must be
laced perfectly level, and secured
irmly. The ptinterhas two brushes;
one of them a stifier kind, which he can
hold jn his hand, and use at either end.
He dips it into the ink, and rubs tbe
block with it, taking care not to wet It
too mnch, or leave it too dry; if it were
wetted too much, the characters would
be slurred; if too little, they would not
print.
When the block Is once got into a
proper state, he can print three or four
impressions without dipping his brush
into ink.
The second brush is wifi to rub over
the paper, with a small, dlnfree of pres
sure, that it may take impression;
this it does easily, for, not being sized
with alum, it receives the ink the in
stant it comes in contact with it.
It is only necessary that the brush
should be passed over every part of the
sheet with a greater or smaller degree
of pressure, and repeated in proportion
as the printer finds there is more or less
ink upon the block. This brush is soft
and of an oblong form.

“ Well, what did he do for you then?”

“ Oh, come now,” said His Honor,
“ this won't do. You don’t mean to

Beauties of the Telephone.
This is the latest telephone story: A
proud grandmamma, who has just been
promoted to the honors of that happy
relationship, is awakened in the deaa of
night by the inexorable bell. “ Mamma,
dear,” comes to her the voice of her be
loved but inexperienced daughter, “ I
am sure the baby has the croup. What
shall I do with it?” Grandmamma re
plies that she will call the family doc
tor, and be with her anxious daughter
in a moment. She awakens the doctor
and tells him the terrible news Bhe has
learned from her daughter. He, in his
turn, requests to bo put in telephonic
communication with the too-anxious
mamma. “ Lift the child to the tele
phone and let me hear it couch,” he
commands. The child is lifted, and it
coughs. “That’s not the croup,” he
declares; and he declines to leave the
house on such small matters. Ho ad
vises grandmamma also to stay in bed;
and,’all anxiety quieted, the trio eettle
down for the night.
