John Qt isct Adams’ Mother.— The moth
er of John Quincy Adams, the great American
statesman, said, in a letter to iiim, written to
him when he was only twelve yearn old : "1
would rather see you laid in your grave than
I-row up a profane and graceless hoy. Not
long before the death of Mr. Adams a gentle
man said to him: “{ have found out what
mud you.” “What do you mean V asked
Mr. Adams. The gentleman replied :“I have
lx-cu reading the published letters of your
mother.” “If,” this gentleman relates, “1 had
-poken that dear name t>> sonr.e little boy who
hud been fur weeks away from bis mother, his
eyes could not have flashed more brightly, nor
td~ face glowed more quickly, than did the
and face of that venerable old man w hen
1 pronounced the name of his mother. He
v.od up in his peculiar manner, and said: “all
that is good in me I owe to my mother.”
Mu. George llu.i.lAitn, of Boston, gives us
words of gold in the following extract: I con
avs he, “that increasing years brings
with them an inereasing respect tor men who
tin not succeed in life, us those words are com
monly used. Heaven lias been said to be a
place for those who do not succeed upon earth ;
mid it is surely true that celestial graces do not
best thrive and bloom- in the hot blaze of
worldly prosperity, ill success sometimes
arises from a superabundance of qualities in
themselves good—fiom a conscience too sensi
tive, a taste too fastidious, a self-forgetfulness
too romantic, a modesty too retiring. Ido not
go so far as tosay \Vith a living poet that ‘the
world know s nothing of its greatest men, but
there are forms of greatness, or at least ol excell
ence,which ‘die and make no sign there are
martyrs that miss the palm but not the stake;
heroes without the laurel, and conquerors
without the crown.”
I'ntlurc* in kliislncsft.
Peter Cooper failed in making hats, failed as
i, i ihinet maker, locomotive builder and grocer;
tail as often as he failed he “tried again,” until
hi could stand upon his feet alone, and crown
ed his victory by- giving a million dollars t"
help the poor boys in time to come.
Horace Greeley tried three or four kinds of
business before he found the’Trilmno and made
it worth a million dollars.
Patrick Henry failed in everything he under
took until he made himself the ornament of
hi- age and nation.
The founder of the New York Herald kept
on failing and sinking his money for ten years,
and then made one of the most profitable news
papers on earth.
Stephen A Douglas made dinner tables and
bedsteads and bureaus many a year before be
made himself a giant on the tloon* of Congress.
Abraham Lincoln failed to make both ends
meet by chopping wood; failed to earn his u a]t
in the galley-slave life of a Mississippi flat-boat
titan he had not even wit enough to run u gro
cery ; and yet he made himself a grand charac-
Ur of the nineteenth century.
Gen. Grant failed at everything except mno
king cigars, lie learned to tan hides, but could
not sell leather enough to purchase a pair of
breeches. Just before the war he was on top
of a wood pile “teeming it" to town for torty
dollars a month. And vet he is at the head of
a great nation.
——
Ail Evil of tin* IVrloil.
to olden times it was not thought degrading
to work with the hands The child of the man
••f wealth was compelled to do a moderate
amount of physical labor, in consequence of
which, when he arrived at manhood’s estate lu*
was a man physically as well ns intellectually ;
1,,r the idea of a well developed brain in a fee
ble and efiemiiiate corporeal organization is a
kind of paradox—a sound mind requires also
a sound body. In the early days boys were
taught trades; now they aspire to professions,
simply because they are regarded as nonimput
able, and poor brain work is a better passport
to good society than skilled mechanical labor.
We are peculiarly a people of theories. The
oretically we honor the sons of toil; we speak
in glorifying tones of the >unburnt brow and
the hard hand of the laborer; we become elo
quent when we tell of the mountains being re
duced. the valleys elevated, the torrents spann
ed, *he forests leveled and the wilderness made
musical w ith the anthems of labor. Bat prac
tically we ignore the laborer’s right to recogni
tion—and we receive into our social circle the
doctor without patients, the lawyer without
clients, and the dead beat with nothing to re
commend him except his utter aversion to
everything like honest labor. We venture the
assertion that in all communities, w ith rare ex
ception, if a man should require the services of
twenty professional men he could get them in
t venty minutes, if he need that many skilled
mechanics he would be at some trouble to find
them.
The average young man, to-day, detests la
bor ; lu* believes in fast horses and gold watch
es. but is not w illing to put forth any effort to
attain them, lie’s waiting for something to
"turn up" instead of turning up something,
and the man of to-day is as much like the man
of forty years ago as a pygmy is to a giant. It
is no pleasant thing to witness the decay of
men. in all the attributes of manhood, but the
fact stares us in the face that we, as a people,
arc deteriorating, that our skilled workmen are
foreigners, while our corner loafers are natives
Horn ; that in our senate chamber we have no
t'lav, nor Webster, nor Cass, no Calhoun, nor
Benton, but in their stead a class of men who
are wonderfully dwarfed by the contrast they
present w ith such intellectual giants.
We suggest no icmedy—we know of none—
but with the fact existing that Jackson and
Clay, and Cass and Fillmore and Lincoln and
Johnson, were children of poverty, brought up
to labor almost from the earliest childhood
suffering all the privations of the poor, it be
comes us as a people so to regulate the physi
cal occupations of the young that we may be
able to raise a class of men who are tit to rule
the State and perpetuate its liberties. It is high
time that we should get rid of some of our
theories, and be more practical; that we so
mould society that labor w ill be regarded hon
orable, practically, not theoretically, and they
w ho give tone to society shall honor the labor
er and discountenance the drone; but a rnau's
best passport will be his moral worth and his
w illingness to labor, and that he who will uot
labor shall uot eat.— Qauttt and BnV.tUn.
Marvcloii* Yield of Precious Met
al* in .Nevada
Virginia City, Nf.y., Aug. 13.
j To the .Editor of the Ohio £s ate Journal.J
ttitr visit to the mining region is to us one
of the most astonishing and marvelous of any
thing we have seen, when we consider the im
mense gold and silver mines, and prosperity of
the mining interests and wealth in minerals of
this State, especially of this region. The Corn
stock Lode, which we are visiting, has disclosed
such a wealth of precious metals that many
years will have passed before it can be exhaust
ed. Strange as it may seem, this ground where
so many mines are operated lay open for years,
and Comstock, who discovered it, had no idea
of the immense wealth it contained. He never
received much for it, others reaping the reward.
He was so heartbroken at his disposing of it so
cheap that he suddenly disappeared, and it was
supposed that lie committed suicide. It was
w ithin a short time confirmed by his w ife dis
covering w here he was buried, somewhere in
Oregon.
The largest amount of the stock in these
mines is owned by men living in San Francisco
and the Great Palace Hotel, the largest in the
world, costing over three and one-half million
dollars, and the beautiful new block, the Ne
vada, the most conspicuous, architecturally, in
the city, are erected by men grown rich in these
mines. Their fruits have made thousands of
men wealthy. There are located on the Corn
stock Lode twenty-ones mines, but only the
( onsolidated Virginia is paying a dividend,
and it, has just declared a monthly dividend of
one million and eighty dollars. One year ago
the stock of this mine, which is the most pros
perous at present of all the mines, was sold for
$122 on the SIOO, and last year went as high as
SSOO. Now it, is down to $330 on the SIOO
- persons have estimated the value of
the ore how in sight in the Consolidated Vir
ginia and California mines at one hundred mil
lions, and yet these two mines are only about
one thousand three hundred, of the twenty-two
thousand feet located and worked on the same
lode.
Messrs Fair A Mackey, the principal owners
of the Consolidated Virginia, came here a few
years ago as day laborers in the mines under
ground, at four dollars a day, and now they are
worth from twenty-five to thirty millions of
dollars, and have an income of four hundred
Ihousand dollars a month. Flood & O’Brien
principal owners of the consolidated Virginia
and other extensive mines, were small liquor
dealers in San Francisco, and now have an in
come of more than a million a month.
Senators Jones and Sharon came here poor,
and accumulated their immense wealth from
these mines in a few years. It is said the divi
dends paid monthly from these mines in Ne
vada is equal to all the dividens paid by all the
wealth of the city of Boston. The market
value of the mines called in the Stock Board
at San Francisco at the end of last year is about
two hundred million dollars. The total amount
of bullion, estimated this year, xvill reach the
enormous sum of forty millions of dollars. The
Comstock Lode is more famous than in coun
tries where mines have been worked for ages.
Some of the party went down into the mines
about fifteen hundred feet to witness the opera
tions of mining out the precious ores. In this
mine about one thousand men are at work,
where the thermometer was about 130. These
lodes have an end, and run out suddenly some
times, causing the stock to decline and have no
value, but they have never been known to find
the depth of them, and preparations are mak
ing for sinking to the depth of 4000. Some of
the mines are worked to the depth of 2000 feet.
Wonderful stories are told of fortunes made in
mining, but nothing is said of the thousands
that lose everything. What l have stated
above is vouched for by reliable men here.
Everybody, rich and poor, boys, clergyman and
women, deal or gamble in stocks. Some are
licit one day and poor the next, still they keep
at it. The laborer w hen he earns enough at
four dollars a day puts it in stocks, loses and
tries again. One w oman here, Miss O’Neil, in
vested In stocks and made sixty-five thousand
dollars, and wisely stopped. I notice that a
Presbyterian clergyman in San Francisco in
vested money for his brother clergymen and
lost all they had. He was on trial before the
Presbytery, and rather than be exposed for his
management of his brother minister’s funds
w ithdrew from the ministry, leaving some of
his brethren wiser, if not poorer, and with a
warning not to meddle with stocks.
The Governorship. —Writing of the politi
cal outlook in Atlanta, the editor of the Au
gusta Chronicle, in his correspondence, says as
to the gubernatorial candidature:
“ It is stated on what I consider credible an
thority, that Governor Smith will be a candi
date for re-election. He will prove a formida
ble competitor for tbe nomination in case it
turns out that he is a candidate.
Mr Stephens expressed it that Gov. Smith’s
action in the recent threatened outbreak had
strengthened his administration in all sections
of the State- llis prompt and prudent dis
charge of duty has w on commendation for him
from many leading papers North.
It may be relied on that Gen. Colquitt is in
the field, to stay until a convention of the party
decides its choice for the nomination. General
Colquitt is a strong man with the people.
Col. Hardeman will also stick. This trio
will lead the race in the convention. Col. 11.
has a strong following in Southwestern and
Clu rokee Georgia.
Independant candidates for the Governor
ship will not he received by the people with
much favor.
It is rumored that Hon. B. 11. Hill w ill be a
candidate for Senator, but I think this doubtful
a Mr. Norwood is more than ltdely to be his
ow n successor if he desires to be re-elected.
Pennyroyal and Potash—lf mosquitoes
or other bloodsuckers infest our sleeping rooms
at night, w e uncork a bottle of the oil of pen
nyroyal, and these animals leave in great haste,
nor will they return so long as the air in the
room is loaded with the fumes of that aromatic
herb. If rats enter the cellar a little potash,
thrown in their holes or mixed with meal and
scattered in their runways, never fails to drive
them away. Cayenne pepper will keep the
buttery and storeroom free from ants and cock
roaches. If a mouse makes an entrance into
any part of your dwellings, saturate a rag with
Cayenne, in solution, and stuff it into the hole,
which can then be repaired with either wood
or mortar. No rat or mouse will eat that rag
for the purpose of opeuing communications
with a depot of supplies.

I am now undertaking a task that is novel,
Which is writing a note for a paper,
Thus silently musing alone in my hoxei,
I will offer friend A. quite a breaker
Now to check his amazement and hold my po
sition,
He but sees through a glass very dimly.
His heart is enamored and darkened his vision.
His argument clothed rather thinly.
My conclusion is marvelous, w hich is notorious,
But ’tis all very well to consider.
His object praiseworthy, the end may he glo
rious,
lie deserves well to find the right(w) bidder.
Just a score and three-quarters of years I am
claiming,
To the contra reports notwithstanding,
The excess of that number i9 scarcely worth
naming.
Though double that stun he’s commanding.
He has sought my forgiveness, admitting his
error,
But offers no proof that’s convincing,
While if ’tis neglected twill give him no terror
Though ever so much he is w incing.
His fix is a hazardous one I must tell him,
The sand from bis-feet are fast slipping,
And if he’s not careful some Grade will sell
him
While the frost at his temples is nipping.
A man is a man but one time, so ’tis written,
Twice a child too, all in the same sentence,
And when at the last we lv Cupid are smit
ten.
There is little time left for repentance.
His Friend G. Junior.
P. S.
It has often been told by poets of old
That a rhyme was a sparkle of Cupid,,
While it troubles my wit I most frankly admit
That to write it I am rather too stupid.
Ileumrkable dftcP of I'old on
Mail'
Lieutenant Payer, the Austrian arctic explo
rer, has been laying some of the results of his
explorations before the geographical society of
Vienna. Referring to the influence of extreme
cold on the human organism, he related that
on March 14, 1874, he and his companions
made a sledge journey over the Semiklar gla
cier, in order to make obversations of Francis
Joseph Land. On that day the cold marked
58 deg. Fah. below zero. Notwithstanding this
intense cold, M. Payer and a Tryolese went
out before sunrise to make observations and
sketch.
The sunrise was magnificent; the sun ap
peal'd surrounded, as it does at a high degree
of cold, by small suns, and its light appeared
more dazzling from the contrast with the ex
treme cold.
The travelers were obliged to pour rum
down their throats so as not to touch the edge
of the metal cups, which would have been as
dangerous as if they had been red hot; but the
rum had lost all its strength and liquidity, and
was. as flat and as thick as oil
It w T as impossible to smoke either cigars or
tobacco in short pipes, for very soon nothing
hut apiece of ice remained in the mouth.
The metal of the instruments was just like
red hot iron to the touch, as were some lockets,
which some of the travellers, romantically but
imprudently, continued to wear next the skin.
M. Payer says that so great an amount of
cold paralyzes the will, and that, under its in
fluence, men, from the unsteadiness of their
gait, their stammering talk, and the slowness
of their mental operations,seem as if they were
intoxicated.
Another effect of cold is a tormenting thirst,
which is due to the evaporation of the mois
ture of the body.
It is unwholesome to use snow to quenclt tire
thirst; it brings ou inflammation of the throat,
palate, and tongue. Besides,enough can beta
ken to quench tlic thirst, as a temperature of
351 deg. to 58 deg. below zero Fah. makes it
taste like molten metal. Snow eaters in the
north are considered as feeble and effeminate,
in the same way as is an opium eater in the
east.
The group of travellers who traversed the
snow fields were surrounded by thick vapors
formed by the emanations from their bodies,
which became condensed, notwithstanding the
furs in which tbe traverlers were enveloped.
These vapors fell to the ground, with a slight
noise, frozen into the form of small crystals,
and rendered the atmosphere thick, impenetra
ble, and dark.
Notwithstanding the humidity of the air, a
disagreeable sensation of dryness was felt.
Sound diffused itself to a very long distance,
an ordinary conversation could be beard at a
hundred paces off, while the repot t of guns
from the top 9 of high mountains could scarcely
be heard. M. Paver explains this phenome
non by the large qnantity of moisture in the
arctic atmosphere.
Meat could be chopped, an 1 mercury used in
tbe shape of balls.
Both smell and taste became greatly enfee
bled in these latitudes; strength gives way un
der the paralyzing influence of the cold; the
eyes involuntarily close and become fro
zen.
When locomotion stops, the sole of the foot
becomes insensible.
It is somewhat curious that the beard does
freeze; but this is explained from the air ex
pired, falling, being immediately transformed
into snow. The cold causes dark beards to be
come lighter ; the secretion- <>f the eyes and
nose always increases, while the formation of
the perspiration altogether ceases.
The only possible protection against the
cold is to be very warmly clothed, and to en
deavor as much as possble to prevent the con
densation of the atmosphere, while the much
vaunted plans of anointing and blackening the
body are pronounced to have no real Talue.
An Inch of Rain. —Rain is caught and
measured in such away as to give what wonld
have been the actual depth of w ater on the
surface if it had not soaked in or run off. An
inch of rain is of more consequence than would
he generally supposed. On an acre of ground
it amounts to 6.262,640 cubic inches. This
gives 22,622,50 gallons of water, w hich w onld
fill a cistern capable of holding 300 hogshead*.
Reducing it to w eight, it would amount to over
113 tons. A trough 120 feet Jong, 10 feet high ‘
and 3.feet whip, inside measurement, would
just contain an inch of rain from an acre o
ground.
