An 1rrepres.lble Reporter.

A letter from Washington to the Clevs.
land Plain Dealer, gives the following in
cident to illustrate the desperate determi-
nation of reporters to obtain full particulars
of every importnnr event:
Col. Bakers funeral ceremonies took
place at Mr.. Webb's The friends, the
Honorables and the military filled tbs
house, and reporters were shut out Now
came the tug of war. One reporters eF-
forts alone will give as sample, selecting
the victor in the case Having failed in all
other efforts to get in, he brassel it up -
Gen. Mcclellan and asked pass. This
was ridiculous of'conrse, US it WAS neither
McClelIan's house nor funeral, aud reporter
was snqbbed., or he goes to Gen. Marcy.
Chief of McCIelhn's staff, and was as cav
alierIy treated as he deserved. Round the
house be goes, and, finding the oInnipreseat
contraband, gives him dollar to shoot
him down the scuttlc hole, when round
through Iarder and lobby he creeps to the
side Of the Parson But he dare not use
his pencil lest it bring on gentle leading
out by the ear. Down he sits with one eye
half closed in full funeral bow, aud the
other on the Parsons manuscript. The
address over. down knelt the venerable
Sunderland to close with prayer, down
kuelt reporter, meek and moUsing, and
when ali hearts were melting aud all eyes
we're closed save reporters one, he stole
the manuscript aud "slid cannie out"
Long the weary PnrsonlOoked for his trudnt
address, but when morning dawned he was
enabled to read it entire 10 the papers.

wcndeII PhIIIlps on the War.

Wendell Phillips delivered one of his
characteristic speeches on the war the other
night, in New York. Here is one of the
curious passages with which it bounds;
But let.me remind you ofanot er tendeh-
cy ofthe time. You know, fer instance,
that the writ of ha6eas corpus by which
Government is bouud to render n reason t'
the Judiciary before it lays its hands upon
a citizen. has been called the high-water
mark Of English liberty. The present M
poleon. in his treatise on the En- gl;sh Con-
stitution calls it the germ of English insti-
tutions. Lieber says that that. with fre
meetings like this, aud a free press are tue
three elements which distinguish liberty
from despotism. and all that Saxon blnod
has gained in the battles aud tolls of 200
years are these three things. Now o.day,
Mr.. Chairman, every one of them-ha6e1s
corpus, the right of free meeting, and free

of the Republic. We live to-day, every

that neither press nor lips may venture 10

! PARIS, November 81. 1861.
We reached Paris last evening. The day
was bright and the country through which
we travelled perfectly enchanting. In pic
turesuue bp,tuty and agricultural richness,
the valley of the:eiver Seine surpasses even
that of the Genesee. For twenty IN les
either side of Rouen the numerous mnnu-
featuring villages indicate enterprise and
prosperity
Mr.. Sanford, our Minister to Belgium,
aud Mr.. BigelOw, our Consul to Paris,
greeted ux cordially at the depot, ard, hnX-
ious to hear ali that could say of public
affairs, and Jok US Immediately to dinner
mt n cafe in the Palace Royal. At 10
O'Clock we wentto the Hotel Louvre, the
like of which, in magnitude and magniH-
cencc, has yet TO be. Among its army of
guests is Charles Dickens, living quietly at
work.
The following morning | called upon
ArchbisIlop Hughes at Maureie's. on Mr..
Dayton Mt the Legation, on Gen. Scott at
the Westminster, and on Sir. Bigeiow at
the Consulate.

7 tel Empire, adjoining those taken at the
( same Hotel for the Archbishop. 1t is eli
! gibly situated, nearly equidistant from the
I Boulevard, Place de In Concord, the Tuil-
cries and the Champs de ElYsees.
This is not the Paris l visited ten years
ago, though in 1851 it WAS comparatively
unchanged during the ten years that had
elapsed since my first visit in 1912. The
Paris of 1861 resembles St. Louis, or Chi
cagO or Milwaukee,, whose magic-like
/ growth, in buildings, bewilders even their
own inhabitants. Hero entire blocks,
streets aud quarters have been renewed.-
Acres of old rOokeries have disappeared,
aud in their places stand immense and
beautiful structures.
Some of the readers of the Journal may
remember that, being here in December,
when the present Emperor seized the gov
erument, differing with other Americans, 1
predicted that he would establish strous
aud stable government, give repose aud
4 prosperity TO France, and become popular
in Paris. In these respects. history Fiadt-
Gates prophecy. | vas led TO these con-
victions from seeing order succeed chaos
so rapidly, and from evidence l then had
that the Emperor was his own architect
that his own genius originated and hisown
wisdom perfected the civil reforms and re-
organizations which every day revealed.
Nor. 2s.-We were startled this morning
with the information thai tie arch traitors,
Mason and SIideEI, were taken by the steam

Church, where the Rev. Mr. LamsOu

Ingalls,, Patent Tire Heater.

LIE Our townsman, ALFRED INGALLS,.
Esq, is a mechanical genus-of this
there can be no doubt. He has but re
Gently turned his attention to invention,
and within a yearshas invented some four
or five machines Of practical utility, and
all of them, we fully believe, destined To
be extensively used. Among them is a
Corn Harvester, calculated 10 husk and
carry off the corn as fast as pair of
horses can draw the machine 1t is up
on principle entirely different from that
Of any invention that has been gotten up
for the purpose, and seems TO have solv
ed the difficult problem, SO constantly
before us here at the West as to the pos
sibillty of procuring machinery to per-
form the now slow and tedious labor of
harvesting our great fields of corn. An
invention that will successfully accom-
Plish this, will certainly prove more valu
able TO The originator and to the country
than anything previously originated in
the line of agricultural machinery
Another invention of Mr.. INGALLS, is
a Tire Heater, for the purpose OF heating
wagon tires. A patent for this was is
sued on the 22d of last January. lie
has had one of the machines manufac-
tured here, and on Friday last we had an
opportunity OF seeing lis merits tested.
The machine is kind Of circular drum,
made of sheet-iron, foot in width and
loi inches in depth. The total diameter
OF the heater is five feet, making il large

H Those strawberries which the kind
remembrance of Mr.. j. d. MYERS ena-
bled, US to enjoy. They were of mann
moth size, and Of a flavor the richest i'm
aginable. We always feel in better hu-
NOR with the world after such treat. 1t
seems to us that an admirable receipt for
modifying an ill-natured man would be-
to feed him on Strawberries. We wish
some one would try the experiment up
on us
: p. S.--Our friend WOODWARD has
tried it, with some of the largest of vii,
sons Albany Seedlings, almost half as
large as a small sized tea cup, and with
much success. We are decidedly i'm
proved, thanks to his kindness. We
shouldn't wonder if few more doses
would entirely complete the cure.
N. B.-a very material advance has
been made through the operations of a
very. large dose given US by Mrs. j. NJ
BoGGs. We never saw a finer lot of ber
ries. They were large, fresh, and very
rich. We thank the donor heartily.

and DR.. BARrLE is the man who has
completed the work. If we are ever Ill
natured again, it will be because re-
lapse has taken place. We are in the

sibe. And how could it be otherwise
Of all thel ich treats we ever experienced,
that given us by the DIR. was the best.
Only think ola great dish full Of Pea

four inches in circumference, and of a
sweetness and flavor impossible to sur
pass. Well, we can't begin TO tell our
readers how fine they were. We only
know that all who saw and tasted them
pronounced them the finest they had ever
seen. The DIR. may consider US under
The biggest kind of load OF obligation

eight O'Clock. At s minutes to eight
the cover was taken off. and the tires de-
clared by Mr.. McGRADY to be about two
minutes too hot. In just eleven minutes
from the time the match was applied, Mr..
MoGRADY and his assistant had put on
the entire sett Of tires. BY the old pro-
cess, sett of tires requires at least half
an hour for heating and setting, the fire
requiring constant watching, and the
consumption of fuel being very consid-
cradle. BY this heater more than two
thirds is saved in time, and fully seven
Fights in fuel. The tire is also uniform
ly heated, and there is no springing of
the wheel by unequal cooling. The
heater can be used at any time, in doors
and out, and would answer well to warm
the shop. 1t is of simple structure, can
be made by any tinsmith, and its cost
is only about eight dollars Our own
blacksmiths are in extaces over it. We
never saw an invention that more per-
fectlv achieved the object for which it
was originated.
The owners of the invention are Messrs.
INGALLS, and MYERS, of this place They
are now selling rights with rapidity. APP
plications can be made to them, and GER
tainly no better investment in the Patent
Right business can be made.
