PREMIUM STEAM ESGISE.-The Virginia Central
Agricultural Society offered premium of 800 for
the best portable steam engine for plantation use
that might be exhibited at its annual fair just ter
minated; and we are informed that to Philip Rahm,
of the Richmond Eagle Machine Works, was ad-
Judged the prize-a result upon which we congrat-
ulate this enterprisng and successful Southern
manufacturer. As evidence of the appreciation of
Mr.. Rahms machinery in this section of the coun-
try, we may mention the recent arrival at this port
of the schooner ''Roseneath" direct from Rich
mond, with cargo of steam engines, saw mills and
other machinery, a large portion of which was con-
tracted for and purchased prior to arrival, at the
office of the Eagle Machine Works in this city, 81

AN OLD ELECTION DoDGE--One of the weak
inventions of the enemy" is before us, and there
are abundance of similar contrivances in circula-
ton with all sorts of variations. 1t pnrports to
be an American electoral ticket, and the caption
90 American ticket" heads it. 1t is made up OF
names selected from the whole field of candidates
on both Sides both tickets being split in every I'M
aginable direction. Everybody is up to the old
and absurd dodge of spurious tickets, and the
d" ring streaked and speckled' mixed and hetero-
geneous conglomeration of its opponents, had bet
ter give up the battle at once and let the election
90 by default if they can hit on no smarter tactics
for contending against the American ticket. The

The TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES ABOUT THE ELEc-
TIoN IN Observation-Disclosures has strengthened
the convictions we expressed yesterday morning,
that the telegraphic dispatches about the Baltimore
elections were at least fve-sixths bogus-the off
spring of partisan maignty and disappointed spite.
As we expected use has been made of them, but
we think it will avail little or nothing. When the
Baltimore papers arrive we expect to demonstrate
the truth of our predictions, and in the meantime,
hope that none of our friends will be led away by
these false and weak inventions Of an INSCRIPTIONS
enemy.

UNcusToMED GooDs.-Among the Rabbin-

ham. Abraham, in travelling to Egypt,
brought with him chest. At the custom
house the officers exacted the duties. Abra-
ham wousd have readily paid, but desired
they would not open the chest They first
insisted on duty forclothes, which Abraham
consented to pay but then they thought by
his ready acquiesence that it might be gold.
They DOW suspected it might be silk, or
more costly pearls; and Abaham generously
consented to pay as if the chest contained
the most valuable of things. 1t was then
resolved to open and examine the chest
And behold as soon as that chest was open :

PEov,ys OF THE CRAZE CU.rvxE.-Wine-

PEoFYys OF THE CRAZE CUIrUxE.-Wine-
growing must be the chief branch of agri-
culture in California. In our article of yes
terday, we stated that the old vines in Har-
asztby's vineyard produce 80 pounds each
on an average, or $4,000 lbs on an acre.
They sell at about cents a pound, and at
that price yield $4,000 per acre-that is, if
sold raw-but if made into good wine, they
will give still larger profits. OF cosrsey
grapes will fall in price as they beceme more
abundant but the possibility Of making
them all into wins, and the command which
that ARTICLE bas over the market of the world,
seem to furnish abundant security that the
price of grapes can never fall below two
cents per pound, at which price they will
still pay from $500 to ST., 900 per acre.
Mr.. Harry Hammond, a son of ex-Gov-
ernor Hammond, of South Carolina, has
lately visited the wine districts of France,
and examined the business of wine-growing,
and he published the knowledge thus ac-
quired in a pamphlet. From this essay, we
learn that there are 100000 acres cult
waited in vines in France that the vineyards
are distributed among 100000 populations;
that the vineyards therefore, average two
acres and half each in size; that the aver
age yield of wine per acre is $50 gallons,
and that the average profit from good vine--
yands is about $3.50. yearly The best vine-
wand land in France is worth $4,000 per
acre Notwithstanding the very high value
of the lardy and the small amount of the:
wine produced, and the uncertainty Of the
crop, the vineyard owpeBs stiA expect to
make $3.50 per acre. California has nothing
to fear from competition with France in the
wine business Ala.

politician who lives not very far from Marys-

Mr.. B. stumped his county for the ticket. At
one of the towns in Yuba county he was ad-
dressing an audience, and wishing to
substantiate some argument, he turned
around to get some printed documents to
read to his auditors. Upon turning about
to confront the multitude he was surprised
to find that his hearers had all left. except
one individual who was leaning up against
tree The speaker enquired, "What in
HI are you doing there p" The poor fellow
stammered out, I'm l-l-listening to your

CHANGING NAMEs.-We recoTFecr that we
urged upon the legislature last Winter the
propriety of putting stop to the applica-

applicants. We urged this upon the ground
that such statutes were wholly unnecessary
Every man in this country and in England
has right to choose his own name, and to
change it as often as he pleases. There is
NO law to prohibit it, and as for contracts
made in the assumed name, they are per-
Sectly valid, because, by the act of signing
the nanae, he adopts it, and is, thereby, es-
topped from denying it. The practice might
indeed be. carried to such an extent as to be-
come pubiae evil, and one which would
call for legislative 5nterposition. But, as
the thing now stands, there. is nothing to
prevent any member of the eemsnunity from
using any signature he chooses to adopt.
His neighbors may also designate han' by
any name they please, so that the appeEa-
tion does not amount to libel.-Standard
