RESPECT TO THE LAD1Es.-I have found
says certain writer, that the men who
are really most fond of the society of la
dies, who cherish for them high respect
nay, even reverence, are seldom the most
popular with the sex. Men Of more as
surance, those whose tongues are lightly
hung, who make words supply the place O
ideas, and place compliments in the
room of sentiments, are the favorites. A
true respect for women leads to respectful
action toward them, and respectful is usu
ally distant action, and this great distance
is mistaken by them for neglect and want
of interest.

~ In the seventeenth century the cpl
tibet Miss, applied to females, was consider
ed term of reproach. And up to this af-
ternoon Of the nineteenth century, it has
not quite lost that Specification. 10 say
nothing of the numerous ladies who would
rather be called Mrs. than Miss, the word
is often applied derisively to little girls by
their playmates, as well as sometimes by
offended mothers to full grown daughters,
as :-"You are not quite big enough for
your hoops, Miss"

GENERAL REPORT OF CROPS.


..r.r u ss.s-.,s ---~
Mr.. w. a. SPaAGuE, Cassyille farmer,
has Just returned from.a visit to his for
lnef 7he1Be in Michigan, where be resided
for over so years previous 10 his emigra-
ting to- Wisconsin; he is consequently
pretty well acquainted With the Michigan
country. He called on US, as he said, to
report what came under his eye during
his rounds concerning the crops. In Mich
igan, the wheat is bad failure, the weevil
being the chief cause. Whole fields are
rendered worthless by this insect, and he
learned that the same evil was prevailing
throughout the State. The oats, rye and
barley wsre suffering from the same and
other causes, and that the corn crop and
potatoes promised slender returns. So far
as he could ascertain, Ohio and Western
New York are plagued with the weevil as
badly as Michigan. The Model Farm,
supported by the State and under The di-
rection Of the officers Of the Michigan Ag-
ricultural College, is about as sad q failure
this year for wheat as any other land
On his return, be left the cars at Rockford,
ELL, and travelled on foot to Mineral Point.
iAn the way from Rockford he found the
wheat scarcely half crop, but the failure
was caused by weather, there being no
complaint of weevil or insects. He visited
about dozen harvest fields and was told
that what he saw was about specimen
al round. From Rockford to Grant
County be found the corn crop first rate
and the oat crop fair He reports apples
q total failure in Michigan, but in Wiscon-
he saw orchards they were
pretty well filled. Mr.. SPRAGUE says that
crops and fruit are better in Wisconsin,
times better and money plentier than any
where else he saw in all his travels.
Scoop CHANCE For FARMERs.-We
are grati6ed atobeing able to announce TO
the people Of Western Grant county that
p Grain Depot is. being erected on the NJ.
GM. Railroad at the Wisconsin Bridge,
where responsible parties will, in few
days, be prepared to pay Cash for Wheat
and produce; this will prove of immense
advantage to the producers as we'll as to
the Railroad Co. twill enable the farm
'ers. Of large district of country, to find a
market at greater saving of time and dis
.tance. a. VS.. 80.
Aslarge quantity of wheat which here
,iofore has feund-a market at Wyalusing
and Cassville will then pass over the M. &

try is to be brought into such favorable
connection with the opulent City of the

THE HARvEsT-The Farmers every.
where throughout the State have com.
menced the harvest. Preparations were
made several days since, and the harvest
would have commenced earlier had not the
recent rains retarded their progress. In
Rice county we hear the most favorable
reports-the wheat and rye never looked
better, or promised greater yield. Corn,
and plenty of it, promises all that could be
wished for. We hear that rust and the fly
have done some damage, but so slight
that the injury from these causes will eff
feet little we hope st. Paul Times.

MR. LINCOLNS SPEECH.

The speech made by Mr.. Lincoln al
Chicago, on the 10th inst, in reply to.
Judge Douglas, made some strong and ex-
cellent points. This is what he said a.
bout popular sovereignty:
Has there ever been time when any
one said that any other than the people Of
a territory itself should form their consti-
tuition; What is new in it, that Judge
Douglas should have fought several years
of his life, and pledge himself to fight all
the remaining years Of his life for? Can
Judge Douglas find anybody on earth
that said that anybody else should form
a constitution for peoples ca voice,
"Yes.') Well, I should like to have you
name him II should like to know who
he was. (Same voice, "Johu Calhoun.")
Mr.. Lincoln-No, sir, never heard of
even John Calhoun saying such thing.
He insisted on the same principle as Judge
Douglas; but his mode of applying it in
fact, was wrong. 1t is enough for my pur-
pose to ask this crowd, whenever repub-
iican said anything against it? They have
never said anything against it, but they
have constantly spoken for it, and whose
ever will undertake to examine the plat
form, and the speeches of responsible men,
of the party, and of irresponsible men, too,
if you please, will be unable to find one
word from anybody in the republican
ranks, opposed to that popular sovereignty
which Judge Douglas thinks that he has
invented. (Applause.) I suppose that
Judge Douglas will claim, in little while,
that he is the inventor of the idea that
the people should govern themselves !;
CHEERS and laughter;) that nobody ever
thought of such thing until he brought
it forward. We do remember that in
that old Declaration of Independence it is
said that ave hold these truths to be self
evident, that all men are created equal
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights; that a.
mong these are life liberty and the pursuit
of happiness; that to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the consent
of the governed" There is the origin of
popular sovereignty. loud applause. y
Who, then, shall come in at this day and
claim that he has invented it.
Laughter and applause.)

The Science OF Advertising.

There is as much truth as poetry
in Gray's often quoted and ever ad-
mired lines:
Full many gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear;
Full many flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air."
The sentiment is applicable not
only to The heart-life Of poetry and
heroism, but to the everyday trans
actions OF the business world. Men
have been born and lived ant sunk
down to their final rest, "unwept, un-
honored, and unsung," in whose
minds and hearts there existed germs
lof greatness, which, if they had
been developed BY proper direction,
would have commanded the admira-
ton Of the world for their heroic
deeds and splendid abilities. And
in everyday life men have engaged
in business, who. although possessing
|all the energy, honesty, and indus
TRY requisite for success, have toiled
and toilcd in vain, Year after year,
because they had not availed them
selves Of he proper channels to
make themselves and their occupa-
tons or their intentions and produc-
tons known to the public. while 9TH
ers, far less qualified than they, have
rapidly passed them on the high
road to fortune from the fact that
they took advantage Of the science
I of advertising. 1t is in fact a sci.
ence and one Of the most useful and
profitable sciences that can be acquir-
+ ed by men. 1t is known to but
few, bot those who are the fortunate
possessors Of this knowledge acqniss
wealth and attain success, While
their less accomplished cotempora-
ries lauguisb in poverty and obscu.
rity. Some knowledge Of this sci.
ence has become natural prerequi-
site to any degree of success in bu'
5iness in this country, aud it is we'll
worth the cultivation OF every bust
ness man, whatever may be his occu.
patton or profession.
