"PoPULAR FoLLIEs. I'VE publish in an.
other column an Address, with this title,
delivered before the Linn County Teachers
Institute, at Scio, lost December.
In the main We agree with the Lecturer in
his various hits at the Popular FOllies of the
day. They are richly deserved. But we
disagree when he classes q good musical
education among them and particularly
where he aims his shafts at the popular pref
erence for the Piano as the best of musical
instruments. We agree with him when he
assumes tina t'every girl cannOt become a
musician, " and that "a musician is born, not
made" We think, too, that every young
woman, no matter what her taste for music
may be, nor how much it may have been
cultivated, should regard ordinary domestic
duties Is far above and beyond all musical
ability and talent. We know that Emusic
bath charms tosOOthe . savage" but a good
cup OfcoHee, anice, well.raised, brOwn.baked
loaf Of bread, a plate Of sweet butter, we'll
cooked meats, and rich grayies, are equally
potent in soothing g man when hungry /;
particularly when prepared by 9 beloved and
loving wife. Music il good, but it is luxury
which can be dispensed with; while a we'll
cooked meal is very acceptable, and indeed
indispensable, to . we'll person at least twice
day. Every young woman should first be-
come a proficient in the arts of h~oasewifery.
If, to these she can add that Of music, so
much the better. We presume on these
points we agree. But the fact is that the
piano is almost universally . f~avorite with
the people, and il cannot with any prOprietY be
classedamong the Popular Follies Ofthe day.
The piano Is not a humbug. Its great pop
ularity is based on substantial, inherent
merit. The tones Of agoOd 7-Octave piano
are rich and sweet, and of great compass ;
and when its keys are touched bya skillful
hand-aecOmpanied By q sweet and melO-
diOus Eoice-Ee seldom hear better music
than it can produce. 4 humbug is short
lived. A genuine humbug never lives many
years. People are quick to discover merit
and equally swift to detect the want of it in
anything put forward for their approval or
condemnation. The piano has nov been a
candidate for popular favor for more than
half . century ! and instead of being pro-
nOuneed huInbug, or, popular Folly" it
is growing in popular favor every day
Were its claims unsound, it would be rejec-
ted and condemned, not only for this reason,
but because of Its costliness.

A NICE CRITIc.-A short time ago the

the Editor of the State Rights Democrat does

know how, properly, to employ the English
language, This may be true; we viii leave
it to the public to decide. On the 9Th instant
this same able critic wrote and published the
following lucid paragraph, which we print
precisely as it appears in the Courier;

CoLORED CHILDRES.-The "Unionist''
etate0 that four hundred dollars have been
contributed by the citizens of Salem to estabr
lish q school for the eolOred children Of that
city. A county that is so intensely black
as Marion should send the colOred children
to the public schools, if they would be con-
s~istent. ..White spirits and black, blue
spirits and grey" ought to mingle and mix
together /; and this feat they will ultimately
perform. The tendency of abolition teach
ing and abolition principles is to social as
well as political equality; and the whole

ps in Massachusetts, unless checkRatsd by
the conservatives Of the country.

We. have to say, il reply, that the frst

Thar INrosroE.-We understand that the

Editor of the Christian Herald, WHOM we

came drunk before he left Albany. So that
in addiion to being a great liar and impostor
generally, he is a drunkard. We have but
little dOabt also that the woman with whom
he is perambulating the country is not his
wife but his concubine. A pretty divine,
truly Kick him as he passes.

The foregoing facts and figures we find
in the Financial Chronicle of the 7th inst.
About year or so ago, as our readers will
remember, we published series of articles
descriptive of some of the great manufac-
turing interests in this country. We then
selected and described the Immense estab-
lisnment of the SINGER MANUFACTURING
COMPANY, located in this city, as the rep
resentative and leading concern in the de-
partment Of sewing machines, and we are
now pleased to find that we did not in the
least exaggerate or over-estimate the i'm
portance of the company in question. 1t
is noteworthy and somewhat suggestive
that the SINGER COMPANY, who did not. as
we understand, take the trouble of visiting
or even of sending their machines to the
Paris Exposition-who seemingly do not
care in the least for either gold medals or
red ribbons, and whose name is rarely seen
in should, nevertheless, eclipse all
other sewing machine concerns in the
magnitude Of their business. There is, of
course, reason for all this, but we leave
our readers to find that out for themselves.

Sewing Machine Facts.

The following interesting statistics we
gather from the quarterly returns made,we
believe, under oath, by the several manu-
facturers of sewing machines throughout
the United States The figures which we
present, and which we have been at some
pains to collect, show at glance the won
derful growth and great Importance of this
branch of American n anufactures. 1t will
be observed that one company alone has
produced and sold within the year, over
torty-three thousand machines. 1t is some.
what remarkable that, during the recent
stagnation in trade, this business has been
but slightly if at all, affected. But below

A Ghost story.

The Ne,o York Nations Paris correspon-
dent relates the following extraordinary
and supernatural incident. as though he eX-
pected every one to believe it. 1t occurred
at the military college, at Sandhurst, near
London:
Young Hartley was general favorite
In the college, promising, active young
fellow, fond of the sports usually played
by young men in England, and especially
addicted to cricket. One Saturday after
noon, young Hartly having been absent for
some time from the college on visit to
his parents in London. the pupils all turned
out for game of cricket. It was a fine
sunny afternoon the cricket ground was
full of animation, and the game was going
on merrily. Presently, to the surprise aud
satisfaction of ali pupils, young Hartly was
seen to enter the ground, dressed as usual,
and looking in all respects exactly like his
usual self. He went up to the ushers and
shook hands with them. and with number
of pupils. All present appear to have seen
him perfectly. and to have felt pleased at
seeing him come back. Presently he threw
himself on the ground, took cigar from his
pocket, lighted it, and began to smoke.
watching the game, meanwhile, with his
usual interest, and every now and then
commenting upon IT'S progress. criticising
this stroke, applauding that, and seeming
as intent on the game as any of the players.
AT length he suddenly drew out his watch
and stated to his feet. eXclaimng, L am
wanted in London at O'clock, and NUT
be off, tor have but just time To- catch the
train and rushed IRON the ground i'm the
direction of the railway station. Much
surprised at so sudden departure, some of
the pupils took out their watches and dis
cussed his chances of being in London by
o clock. Next day brought to tie aston
ished inmates of the college the news of
yonng Hartly's death, which had occurred

actly at o'clock. He had fallen ill during
his visit home, and. as was atterward as
certained. had not once left his bed from
the time of his falling Ill 1t was also as
certained that, during the whole of that
last day, through which he lay in sort of
quiet stupOr, his mother had never left his
bedside. We've seen a real appariton for
once in our lives = was the shuddering ad-
mission of the cadets when the news of
Hartly's departure reached them.'"
