4 ?. FA KM. / I»OWEB OF THE _j'IIomoh!.—Th« other day we ad- 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 sella m»duee to me whom I can perfectly trustVout of tho seventy-five to ono hundred diflerent men who Hell me articles with regularity through the 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- jvng an idea into 15,000,000 mil * r _ m , inds at once, and following it up the next day, and surveying it from every point, illue- veyi „ trating it by anecdote and history, sur- it wit . jying it 0 fun of it, making it personal, making ethical, making it abstract, putting every possible attraction for 865 succes sive days, and they could see how resist less to the ordinary resistance of human nature must be such a power. He remembered a cousin of his who was a bitter Federalist, when, in the fierce conflict after the war of 1821 above reproach. Occasionally we find a butter maker who demands and secures quite a margin above the highest quota tion in the market, because not a imund of inferior butter is furnished to In. very city are plenty of people r wnat ttyey are cer- •ill pny well for tain arc honest articles, ami outside of any moral argument it pays thf producer to make a reputation’ fo> ^ -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 most of us would have said lie was least itable commodity, even on the i norance of Ameriwu After Lord Beacons! speech, some two months Froudo’s more recent exhibition, not be much surprised at any amount of English misconception of American affairs. A grave editorial in the last London Examiner seems to be regarded by several contemporaries as capping the climax, but wo are willing to look at that article in a different light. It is written, indeed, with a solemn gravity which wears the appearance of sincerity, ous that we incline to think the writer merely intended a hoax. But how fierce conflict after the war of 1821. a 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 duces. In the course of three or lour rain of the race. Now the infant looked over the edge of the cradle, crawled out of it and patented an im provement before it was six months old. [Laughter.] The press and the tele graph" wire were an infinite strorger cement of the Union of the forty States than that golden band, the Mississippi 1’iver, which was thought to tie twenty States tr "ether. It was the openness of intellectual life born of this ninny headed monster which formed the cement of the Union. He thought that America owed one half of its material prosperity, if not more, to the development of tne press. When he went back to the battle of Waterloo he found the London Timet consisted of nothing but advertisements. It did not volunteer an opinion. It had no discussion, no leading articles, no edi torials. The press t the e l which of the morniug—was almost of the last fifty or sixty years; the effect which we must try to discover must be found within the last half century. He remembered well when Harrison died in 1840—an event which, considering its party relations, was exceedingly critical and important in the history of the country—and yet when the news of it reached Springfield, 111., ten days after the I resident’s death, it “ ‘ *’ * found Abraham Lincoln arguing a case in court and he denied it, because, he said, it was known there so soon. [Applause and laughter.] To-day, buy a newspaper in the street, and you raav read the words that Queen Victoria is* at that moment speaking to her Parliament. They might buy any evening paper at night, and read what Bismarck said before dinner. Such was the enterprise and the vast sweep of the press to-day that makes humanity one. The man that reads had a telegraph wire which con nected him with the world, and the man that did not read might as well be Hobinson Crusoe on his Island. [Ap- clause.! dense’must be the English ignorance of affairs in the United States if such a hoax has any chance of success 1 It is stated by the Examiner that Victoria Woodhullhas good chances to be elected President of the United States. “It has been known for several weeks that Mrs. Woodlmll liad been visited in her retirement at South Kensington by a deputation of Beven American gentle men, who control above a million votes, and solicited to stand for the Presi dency.” On the strength of this the Examiner proceeds to recite her history and discuss her prospects. We are told -lhat herT.auk in .this city was entered 'ljfcgntted, causing a “ damage which ^fcret-s has now’ agreed to make good Wxc extent of five hundred thousand dollars,” and that she “ lost in the strug gle two miftion dollars, her health and almost her life; but she won the most enthusiastic regard of the people.” We trust these samples will suffice. We know 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 title is in doubt Up till within a week before my departure from Sad Felipe, the nearest pueblo, to theminine region, it was iupposed that the Mojadas were a part of the public domain.

For two evenings of this week the peo ple of Milwaukee were favored with first-class acting by Mary Anderson, who has become a great favorite within two years. The Sun blonde was on hand pretty regular those two nights, as he al ways is when a beautiful woman is being first evening the play of Hunchback 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. How she does it the Lord only knows* She is the most versatile actress we. ever sat in front o*. At times she would put on a sweet, lovely look, and you would ly 1 . have to be held by two persons to keep ... , . .£ ng her that you love her engine, and then she would put on a dy ing look, and a wild scared desperate ex pression, so you would want to rush out after a doctor.

It was a singular study when her breast got to heaving. She must have a suite of lungs like a blacksmith’s bellows, and when in her excitement she would exhaust them, she would look so thin that you could have in England, but it lias so far suc ceeded in this country as to convince several of our journals that the writer is really as ignorant as his air of perfect •oriousDess implies. spirant to dramatic honors re MS. with a manager.

The Chinese assert that the art of printing was discovered in China about fifty years before the Christian era. Unw 1i-- discovery of the art of paper- 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. The earliest records of the world’s history bear testimony to instances of the successful practice of medicine by women. Between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries several women ac quired wide-spread renown as teachers ling Eel* centuries many female phy- 1 ' lional chairs in the ‘specially that of ThI5 site of a prehistoric town of gianti.has been found on the shore of Lake Ontario near Rochester. An ex ploring expedition recently dug up over two hundrod relics on this spot, includ ing sh)ne axes, arrow heads, human teeth, broken pottery, tobacco pipes, and other rough curiosities of a savage people. Several years ago some twenty skeletons were exhumed from the same ground, every one of which, when laid in a straight line, showed a form of twenty feet in height and upwards. The illscove.y opens up a fruitful field for the archtoologist. The human body contains more than two hundred bones. Women who threaten to break every bone in their husband’s body should bear this in mind. The Boston Courier, which is good fashion authority, says silk plush mats aud tidies are made in squares of differ ent colored feathers, stitched together with embroidered silk. The fringes re peat all the colors in the embroidery. On a pano of glass in Little Moreton Hall, in England, there yet remains, says a writer in^ Notes and Queries, the following distich, cut with a diamond, and dated 1621: Man can noe more known woman’s myndo by (ears, Than by her shadow judgo what clothes shoe weares. Some scandalous character, of the “perfect brute” order, according to fe male classification, has promulgated the story that woman is composed of 248 bones. 169 muscles, 21 old newspa pers and 210 hair-pins. A committee of ladies entered Par liament recently, on the floor of the House, having a petition signed by 70,- 500 ladies asking for the Sunday closing of liquor houses in England. Thia is the first time women have ever appeared on the floor, a latticed gallery being assigned them. A lady in Lowndes County, Ala bama, who had been wealthy, but is now poor, clipped her magnificent head of hair and gave it to the yellow fever suf ferers. It realized a large sum, and the winner, a Northern lady, sent the hair back to the donor. Since then the lad' DacK to tne aonor. oince then the lady has given the hair to the Hood fund, and it was rallied in Montgomery for $80. “Abe you engaged?” said a gentle man to a young lady from Marysville, qt a ball the other evening. “ I was, but if that Pete Johnson thinks I’m going to sit here and see him squeeze that freckled-faced Wilkins girl’s hand 11 tho evening, he’ll be mistaken, sol- tairc or no Bolitaire!” The gentleman explained, and went out to get air. a roor uirrs Hair. A young and poorly clad girl entered a barber shop in Vienna und told the proprietor that he must “ buy her head.” The friseur examined her long, chestnut locks ; and began to n. He could give eight florins and no more. Hair was plentiful this year, the price had fallen, there was less demand, and other phrases of the kind. The little maiden’s eyes filled with tears, and she hesitated a moment while threading her fingers through her chest nut lock*. She finally threw herself in a chair and said: 1 “Then take it quickly.” The barber, satisfied with his bargain was about to clinch it with his shears when a gentleman who sat half shaved, looking on, told him stop.

Tho Ingredients of Wine. 1 The foolish man who told his son that wine is made of grapes was, as every pne knowB, very far from the truth. Btill people have been of the opinion that our home-made wine, at least, that in this also they are mistaken. The ‘Sandusky Register, in its annual review f the vineyard production of Northern )hio, says that the million and a half allons of wine that was made there his season, less than a million gallons | grape juice was used.
