S Stuek-Up People,


On the cars the other day we overheard an
old ninnyhammer divulging his low birth and
ignorance by pretending to great respectable
W Wnlle depreciating better people. Eaid he,
Wnhe speaking to woman sitting beside him
4 am a Methodist but l know we have In
our chnrch more of the lower class of society
than other churches Mr.. Wesley tux many
such folks into the church, and have giner-
ally obsarved that our congregations has
more poor folks than others. In the church
to which belong there is more than half oi
the members Of rather low class, but then
you know respectable people has to make
sacrifices to do good to them as hasn't such
advantages
We turned to take a survey Of the speaker.
His case was plain one. he was supercii
Gus, ignorant, proud, well-off and entirely un-
conscious of his defects. We read his MS
tory as plainly as if we had been ms oook-
keeper through his whole career ne was
once poor boy, having perhaps decent peol
pie for his kin !; he had littW eoucaiion knew
nothing of good manners IN the beginning,
and has held his own. He was taken up by
the Methodist. who washed him and clothed
him and helped him and made him what he is
in responsibility. He owes his character. his
means, his very life to Methodism, and in a
class-meeting would say so; but meeting a
lady Of another church he attempts to palm
himself on Tor q nabob, and succeeds In show
ing that he is Ounce.
We wanted to tell him all this at the time,
but could not without being rude; we per-
form the duty now toward him and others of
like defects. The Methodist who talks about
people in our church of low class, is himself
too low to associa4e with any of our folks,
black or white, If he was not saved from a
part Of his meanness by the very church he
undertakes. The whole question Of high and
iowpeople Is one supremely ridiculous TO men
who see how the facts stand. a,,... -,
We believe there are real distinctions In So
ciety; there are such things as virtue, ,intelli-
gence, good manners and piety, and these are
great moral elements, making their professors
superior to the vicious, the ignorant, the boor-
ish and the profane. We recognize these fea-
lures in society, but "stuck-up people" distin-
guished by huge pretences and breastpins,
are entitled to our ardent contempt. In view
Of shoddy and cotton, and many other things.
we may cry: so the times o the manners

An Escape from the Rebels,

letter to the Washington Chronicle
from correspondent in Grants army, tells
this story: asa stoY sdsilials i9e
In the early portion of this campaign, a
bugler of Massachusetts cavalry regiment
was captured. This occurred when lying
near Spottsylyania. He had just received
bis discharge, and was about to return to his
eastern home when the rebel cavalry dashed
up and carried him of, In company with 9TH
ers OF his regiment. He happened to have
donned citizens attire. The guards conveyed
him to Lynchburg, at which place musket
waa given him, and the agreeable information
impaired Of his being in the Confederate in
iantry. Making virtue of necessity, his du-
ties were performed with alacrity and gained
him the confidence of many officers and
men. .E4fr aG BfFsW
After two months hard service, he, two
nights ago, found himself on the picket line
only a few yards distant from our skirmishers,
When night comes on, shooting begins and
continues until the day, dawns, and this was
made an excuse to go for water, before the
twilight had passed into deeper gloom
Saunteringo off leisurely, he approached as
near our r-outposts as possible. His comrades
missed him. They seized their guns AMI hail
ed him, but we're too late, besides having been
outwitted. Our Yankee had uncapped their
pieces, and they did not explode. That night
was spent with his old companions, whose de-
light at seeing him alive and well was only
equalled BY his joy at escaping from the
haLds of the enemy. -, % ejime

The Prospects for Mechanics.

When this war shall have ceased, this coun-
try will present scene unparalleled IN history.
War always deVastates and destroys and in
the old countries OF the world, where slower
methods and no systems are employed, ittakes
generations to repair the damages of great
conflict On some of the elder battle-6elds of
the Revolution, the marks of earth works are
still plainly visible.
But in the after time, when the present
struggle is decided, our mechanics will have
opportunity to display their energy and skill
to the utmost. The States laid waste by the
tramp of contending armies must blossom
anew, and be ploughed, not with fire and sword
but by the sturdy teeth of some machine.
The mills which are now silent, and used only
as refugees for sharpshooters, must grind or
saw again in the future; and the steam engine,
which is rusted and bent out OF shape, be
repaired. The water-wheels must be adjusted
SO that they will whirl vigorously with their
loads. There are factories razed to the
ground which must be again raised, and the
thousands and tens OF thousands of spindles
which now rest idly In their frames must fly In
q short time as swiftly as of old.
: g 80 ottnose steamers which once furrOWed
the sea, but are now wreck, or sunk, or 9TH
erwise lost to the Commerce Of the world
they must be replaced. Down the starting
ways to sea, the new keels shall glide yUhile
watch their crafts baptism with pride. The
railroads shall reach out their arms again !.
they shall face the prairies, they shall stretch
away to the ilimitable West. From all COR
ners of our favored land the locomotive shall
bear US plenty and prosperity. Many roads
are now broken and so destroyed that they
will have to be surveyed; and here the pro
fessional man will claim his share with the ar
tisan. The locomotives have been burned
and destroyed by hundreds, and they viii re
ouire to be reproduced with all the CELEBRITY
our shops are capable Of ...
Substantial rewards seem, nay, are certain
In the future for those who are now laboring
to restore, not to destroy the government
Mechanics, more than any other class in the
community, have direct interest in its main
tenance, and should be the last, as / believe
they are-to encourage Its enemies In any
way. Self-interest, II not patriotism, should
be an incentive to put forth every effort to
restore tranquility and peace

Sensible Advice.

q AS runaways are by no means Of
rare occurrence in this city, we copy
the following advice from the Pontiac
JaeksOnian as exceedingly appropropri-
ate to such excigencies:
How TO SToP RUNAWAY TEAM.-
The most approved method of stop
ping "a runaway team has long been in
practice, and is pretty well known to
most of our readers, yet it will bear
description.
The plan is this, AS soon as the
team heayes in sight, every man, wo-
man and child, is expected to inhale a
long breath and send it forth behind
an unearthly yell. If this does not
produce the desired effect, seize bricks,
joints of stove pipe, empty flour bar
rels, OF anything movable which
comes to hand, rush out into the
street from both sides, leaving an av-
enue for the team, and as it passes let
fly the missiles, screaming whoa
at the top of your voice. This some
times has the effect to make team
run the faster, but it is good policy of
course, from the fact that the faster it
runs the sooner it viii get there, and
that is what a team is made for. 1t
is customary to yell heartily after a
team has passed, probably in the ex-
pectation that the team will turn
around out of the fun of the thing,
and see how many umbrellas have
been brought out TO be opened and
shut as an experiment.
A team that allows itself to stop in
spite of yells, brickbats and umbrellas,
is at once pronounced worthless,
spiritless hack, but if it goes through
like creased lightning, killing a few
children and breaking the bones of a
few of the stoppers-smashing things
generally, it is considered "a No. l."
and "worth pile of money"

VoTrNe BY ELECTRICITY fresh
application Of electricity has just been
made in an apparatus for voting, pre-
sented to the Parliament OF Vienna.
Each of the deputies has before him,
at his seat in the chamber, two knobs,
one white and the other black, and
the vote is given by pressing one Of
them. Two frames are placed by the
side of the president, on one of which
the affirmative votes appear as white
points on black ground, and the neg
alive on the other, in black spots on
a white ground. Each pressure of the
deputy's hand ON the knobs is marked
by electricity on one of the tablets, ac-
cording to the vote he wishes to give.

THE FLoREScE SEWING MAcHINE.-
At the solicitation Of r. II. WRIeHT,
agent for the above excellent machines,
we devoted half an hours time to-day
to the examination of their mechani-
cal construction, capacity, &c., and in
that brief time were thoroughly con-
WINGED that they possess advantages
over any and every other machine yet
invented, in that they make variety
of stitches, all Of the most substantial
character, the changes for the various
stitches may be made while the ma
chine is in motion,
The beauty of its stitch unsurpassed
No other covers so large range of
work.
Sew the light and heavy fabrics
with equal facility.
The work will feed either to the
right or left.
No difficulty experienced in sewing
across thick seams.
Needle more readily adjusted than
in any other machine.
The hen,mer the most practical in
use.
Turns wide and narrow hens, and
will fell beautifully.
And with all these peculiarities,
their machine is perfect model of
simplicity, with no eccentricities or
mysteries, but which the most unso-
phisticated can early comprehend, and
in appearance deliberately ornament
al, though in every respect firm and
staple. Mr.. Wright, the agent, has a
few of these machines now on exhi-
bition at Z. p. & III. L. Penfield's,

One of our fair village damsels, says
the Aberdeen Herald; who was dig
ging the potatoes for the family din
ner, was thus accosted by an English
gentleman of rather dwvrfish proper
tons, who stood scarcely FIVE feet in
his shoes:
care these good potatoes, girl?"
"Pretty fair she replied.
Do potatoes grow well in this old
country ?"
Better than men do in yours, if
you are to be taken as specimen"
she smartly replied.
The small gentleman vanished, ut
