RESULTS OF WIDE ACQUAINTANCE WITH
MEN.-It is Lord Jeffrey, we believe, who says
a large and familiar intercourse with men of diff
ferent habits and dispositions never fails, in
characters of any force or generosity, to dispel
the prejudices with which we at first regard them.
The truth of the observation forces itself upon
us daily. If in our converse with men we meet
with person of narrow and biGoted mind we
know that he has not learned his fellow man,
nor fathomed the truth of his own being. For
such person we have pity-sometimes con-
tempt, when his unforgiveness amounts to ar
rogance-and we turn away from his compan-
ionship until he has learned one great lesson of
lile-to be chary of assumption, since others
may know the best. As in persons so in books.
If man has large and liberal views of Chris
tianity, of society, of government, you may be
assured of lis general intelligence and sound
ness of mind. But meet with man who is un-
compromising and liberal, and it is as certain
the person has a narrow mind as that his knowl-
edge of books is limited. The fact is, the more
we know of men, the more forgiving and unas-
suming webecome-them more we know of books,
the less we preach and the more we practice
Let men but study human nature closely as they
study the ways and means to beget wealth, and
the truth of Lord Jefirey's proposition will force
them to acknowledge brotherhood with hui
manity which will, in the end, revolutionize the
world for the better.

"a SARATOGA PARTY. The Saratoga Trunk
is an article that has been a theme of story for
some time, but Saratoga Party" is an insti-
tuition less known, though older. \ little in
sight in hotel life here opens door to social
life worthy of alittle notice. \ Saratoga Party,
then, is gathering of friends here from differ
ent portions of the country by appointment, at
some one hotel, where rooms are engaged be-
forehand, and where said party spend one, two,
three or perhaps six weeks together in social
visiting. mixing, when convenient or agreeable,
with the other guests of the house. but always
having an eye to the wishes of their friends
! The proper arrangement of Saratoga party re-
quires some consideration beforehand, and many
Of them are nearly completed the year previous,
barring accidents. Whed party is fully ar
ranged and the hotel settled upon for 1.-THE
meet" a correspondence is had by some one
with the proprietor to secure the requisite rooms.
When everything is all arranged and the time
arrives FOR the meeting the families wing their
way here and take up the quarters assigned them,
the first arrivals being at hand to welcome the
others as they come in succession, for being oc-
casionally from as distant points as New York
or Boston and ST. Louis, they cannot all reach
here exactly at one time. Families and friends
thus assembled enjoy all the pleasures of So
%ioatrry Sp at 2 e2aSh ofhehs hopnses, without any
and all are the visited, without Being 6vhifItAgs
at times to give up the company Of their guests
to look after the housekeeping. No lady or
gentleman is compelled, on account of being
hostess or host, to surrender her or himself to
the sole entertainment of the party, but there
are always enough socially inclined in good
sized and well-arranged party to keep up the
sociabilities, while those troubled with a little
illness orwishing solitude may keep retired with
out worry or trouble to others. Then there is
a social advantage of such party that they are
not compelled for lack of company to take up
with all new corners without due inquiry. 4
great many things are required to make up a
well-balanced party here. Married ladies for
Chappones, young ladies and gentlemen to par
take OF the gayeties of the saloon, &c. Some
way a great number of them are made up and
meet here yearly, until they have become quite
a noticeable feature of watering place life. We
have one in our view now here, numbering some
thirty persons, beside servants who occupy al
most an entire floor of a wing of the house they
stop at, comprising several private parlors and
suites of rooms. They are gathered from Bos-
ton, New York, Hartford, St. Louis &C., and
while the principal portion of them arrived some
four weeks SINCE athers only came on this week.
Then there is another, comprising a family gath
erirg of about twenty, which arrived together
this week. Although residing in difierentcities,
they were gathered up on the way so as to ar
rive all at once.-Sordtoga Daily News.

TALKING By S1GNs.-The following interest
ing incident was told by Mr.. Marsh in his ad-
dress before the convention of deaf mutes at
Worcester:-
ain the summer of 1918, Chinese Young man
passed through Hartford, Ct; he was SO igno-
rant of the English language that he could not
express in it his most common wants. The prin-
cpal of the asylum invited the stranger to spend
an evening within its walls and introduced him
to VI. Clerc, an assistant teacher in the ASYLUM
The object OF his introduction was, to learn or
ascertain to what extent NJ. Clerc who was en-
trely ignorant OF the Chinese language, could
conduct an Ineligible conversation with the for
eigner by signs and gestures merely. The re-
suit of the experiment surprised all who were
many interesting facts respecting the place of
his nativity, his parents and their family his
former pursuits in his own country his residence
in the United States, and his notions concern
ing God and future state BY the aid of ap-
propriate signs also, NJ. Clerc ascertained the
meaning of about twenty Chinese words. When
the conversation began, the stranger appeared
to be bewildered with amazement at the novel
kind of language that was addressed to him.
Soon, however, he became deeply interested in
the very expressive and significant manner which
NJ. Clerc usedto make himself understood and
before one hour had expired a very quick and
lively interchange of thought took place be-
tween those so lately entire strangers to each
other. The Chinese himself began to catch the
spirit of his new deaf and dumb acquaintance,
and to employ the language of the countenance
and gestures with considerable effect, to make
himself understood"

Pl0MPT.-Ex- Governor Boutwell, told the fol-
lowing ut recent Educational Convention in
Pittsfed
A lanke eSchoolmaster went over from Mass
athusetts into York State last Fall, and engag-
ed school. He was told there was one fami-
ly of unruly boys who had turned the last teach
er out OF DOORS and would try the same game
on him. The new master resolved he would
begin with firm hand, and establish his au-
thoritv at the outset. On the first dav of school
all went oil smoothly; none of the rebellious
hinily-the Litchfeds-were there The next
day tie same On the third day stout Young
fellow of eighteen or nineteen appeared and
when the teacher asked his name to record it,
he learned it was Li.chiied.
"Ah, your name is Litchtield? Just step out
here And bringing him into the middle OF
the floor he commenced whaling him with all
his might till the frightened youth fled for his
life. There said the triumphant pedagogue,
81 understand those Litchfelds threaten 70 turn
me out of doors, but we'll see who is master
here -
The boys laughed, and seemed to enjoy it so
much, that the excited hero demanded an ex-
PLANTATION, and found to his dismay that he had
logged the wrong youth-a very inofiensive lad
of highly respectable family, whose name had
led to a mistake. The schoolmaster thought
ga stitch in time would save nine;" but, unfor-
tunately, he took it in the wrong place,

Is ERASER RIVER HUMBUG ?"-In ans,

Is ERASER RIVER HUMBUG ?"-In answer
to this enquiry the Hills Bar, Fraser River, cor
respondent of the Alta California, writes:
ERASER River is no humbug? No The
humbug is in the delusion which seized upon
men-.many of them men of sense, too to come
into a wild country before the time, and unpre-
pared, and that, too, in spite of the remon-
STANCES of those who knew they would be dis
appointed. They would listen to nothing ex-
cept the delusive hope which they seize upon,
that this country abounded in gold as it did in
water and trees, and they had but to rush and
gather the first fruits. This delusion has made
many poor man poorer; but this ought not
to be charged as a crime against these grand
old mountains, great forests and wide rushing
waters.
Fraser River is rich, notwithstanding hund-
reds, nay, thousands, now wander along its
banks, suffering from hunger and nakedness,
cursing the country and their own foolishness
for coming here.
believe all that has been said concerning the
gold here; but l would not advise friend of
mine to come here unless he would first listen
to the dangers and difficulties he must encoun-
ter on every hand in searching for the gold"
