WENDELL PHILLIPS, of Massachusetts, is a
polished scholar His intellectual endowments
are unusually excellent, and his graceful orato-
ry VIII always elicit the praise and admiration
of his audience. Yet the sentiments ("he has
perfect right to hold them') which he so as
siduously promugates, and defends with such
Infinite resource of wit and satire. are, as we
view 1t, too variant from the common opinions
and hopes OF mankind, to ever result in much
practical benefit Like most beautiful pyro-
technlc displays, with neither warmth nor sub
stance, his truly splendid orations appear. spread
forth their beauties, and vanish forever. His
Cooper Institute speech relative to the John
brown affair, serves rs an example. What va
rious excellence Exquisite poetry, sparkling
w.t. biting satire, and eloquence the most
tonching-all are here; and yet, in the view of
utility, the result not weightier than the float

like foreign curiosites, will, ever share the at
tention OF our people; but they will never re-
ceive their confidence or approval. They NAV

FAIRBANKS ScALEs.--Among the patents is
ssucd from the United States Patent Office for
the week ending December Goth, were two to
Thaddcus Fairbanks of St. Johnsbury, for i'm
provements in platform scales.
For Many years the finn of l.. & r. Fair
banks x Co. have stood at the head of the list
OF manufacturers of weighing scales, and sim
pie fact like the one above announced gives us
the clue to the reason why this house has SO
long maintained its acknowledged pre-eminencc
The Messrs Fairbanks made good scales many
years ago, but they were not content with sim
ply manufacturing a good article. Then and
ever since they have devoted time and expend-
ed money in experimenting with the view to
Improvement constantly uppermost in their
minds until they have produced an article in
every one Of the many departments of scale
manufacture from post-ofIice and mint scales TO
enormous machines capable of weighing canal
boat and her cargo, that has become a SYNONYM
for accuracy and convenience. Making money
has been subordinated to making good scales.
while the result has proved the correctness of
their Judgment that making good, reliable ar
ticle in every instance is the surest way in which
to lay the basis for successful business. II
gives us pleasure to note the prosperity of those
who are thus constant in their endcayors to win
success and achieve an honorable reputation.

paragraph from the Boston Journal. sets the
matter in very different light so far as the
Vermont banks are concerned:
"YHompson's Reporter is not good authority
