Opium has been raised with success
in Vermont. The yield would appear
to have been 100 pounds of juice to
the acre, merely requiring drying to
become a marketable opium which
brought from IS 10 $40 per pound, as
il contained over six per cent. NOR
phia. If this thing can be accom-
nlished in so cold a climate, would
moi still better success attend its culture
In California? 1t may yet be no object
to Chinese smUgglars TO bring opium
into San Francisco plugged up into
the inside Of granite building blocks,
or sandwiched between the inner and
outer sOles of their shoes. The next
opium war may find US the rival of
the East India Company in supplying
| the drug to China.

An Anecdote of Mr.. Stanton.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Times relates the following an
ccdote Of tho late Hon. Edwin NJ. STAN
ton: s"nN
"Now that Mr.. Stanton is dead, many
people are unsealing their lips with Incl
dents of his life, which his desires and
wishes have heretofore kept concealed.
Few people who met him in ordinary
business knew to what extent he was lit
craly q God-fearing man, and to what
extent he believed in prayer. Rev. DIR.
Gray. late pastor of the +. street Baptist
Church of this city, who preached here to-
day. related tho following interesting per-
sonal incident in the course Of his sermon /:
About two years ago, while Mr.. Stanton
was holding possession of the War Office,
and voluntary prisoner therein. Rev.
Mr.. Fulton, of Boston, came on. and
while here requested mo to accompany
him in visit to Mr.. Stanton. We went
and were very cordially received by him.
Mr.. Fulton addressed him and said |:
81 have made you special spbject Of
prayer and have regnred you rs the savior
of our country, and I believe God has
heard prayer on your behalf" Aher con-
graduating him on the noble stand he had
taken during the war, the services he had
rendered his country, also the stand ho had
taken Mt that time. Mr.. Stanton said: {:
Gentlemen, bclivo In God and l believe
in prayer, although am not professor
of religion in common acccptation Of tho
term and when, during tho war, / received
discouraging dispatches from the army, 1
would lock my door, spread out the des-
patches, and kneel down and pray to God
to save my country, and then 60 and talk
with Mr.. Lincoln" Mr.. Fulton then
said: "Mr. Stanton, this Is an interesting
incident in the history of the war-am 1
at liberty to rcpcatit'" Hcrcplicd: mot
now. Were this statement to DO made
public under existing circumstances, my
enemies would regard It rs bid for the
sympathy and support of tho praying por.
ton of the country. Wait till am dead,
then you may tell it," Just rs they were
about to leave. Mr.. Stanton rose and lock-
ed the door, and said;" Gentlemen, /
would like to have you spend fow mo-
ments in prayer" Mr.. Fulton in his brus-
que way said: "Gray, pray" Mr.. Gray
did so, and then Mr.. Fulton prayed most
earnestly for him. During prayer Mr..
Stanton wcpt like child.

My fair friend. Miss Clack, having laid down
the pen, there are two reasons for my taking 1t
up next, in my turn.
In the frst place, am in position to throw
the necessary light on certain points Of interest
which have thus far been left in the dark. Miss
verinder had her own private reason for break
ing her marriage eng gement-and was at the
bottom OF il. Mr.. Godfrey Ablewhite hal his
own private reason for withdrawing all claim to
the hand OF his charming cousin-and discoy-
cred what IL WAS
In the second place. II was my COOL or III for
tune, hardly know which. TO fnd myself per-
sonslly involyed-at the period Of which l am
now writing-in the mystery Of the Indian Dia-
mond. hal the honor Of an interview, at my
own Office, with an Oriental stranger Of distin-
cuishel manners, who was no other, unquestion-
ably. than the chief Of the three Indians. Add
to this. thatI met with the celebrated traveller,
Mr.. Murthwsite, the day after ward, and that |
held conversation with him on the subject OF
the Moons,onc, which has q very important bear
ing on later events. And there you have the
statement of my claims TO hll the position which
occupy in these pages.
The true story of the broken marriage engage
ment CONES first in point Of time, and must
therefore take fhe first place In the present mar
ratiyc. Tracing my way back along the chain
of events, from one end TO the other, hnd II

A Professorship Of Local Editing
Demanded.

Apropos to the establishment in Wash.
ington College, Virginia, Of n department
for education in journalism, the Cincin-
natl Times thinks there should be spec
ial profcssorship for instruction In local
editing, and indicates what the course Of
instruction should be. rs follows
"The student in the local business
should have u great deal Of exercise on
his legs each day-taught that 1t isn't
brains so much rs leg talent that Is re-
quired to make an efficient local reporter.
IIe must learn to smell an item long
distance, rs the model war.horse 'snuffeth
the battle from afar.' and spare no exer-
ton in finding 1t. His fancy and imagin-
alton need to be cultivated somewhat, and
his invention quickened and encouraged,
IN order that he may have something to
fall back on in case things persistently re-
fuse to happen, for the public demands To-
cal news every day, remember, whether
there be any or not. Deprive them Of
able leaders and they may stand Il for o
day or two, but they wont give up their
local news not for q single issue.
"The would-be local will require little
instruction In regard to receiving presents
of boots, hats, clothing, bottles Of wine,
oysters. cigars, dead.head tickets, etc..
etc. They learn that very readily. The
professor can do it rs he plcases about ad-
vising them to accept or refuse such per-
quisitcs. Ifany conscientious young To-
cal should have any scruples about accept
ing, VIC would remind him that he has
rs high authority rs the President Of the
United States for taking In any presents
offered him. and hc can initiate II or not.
"rho student should be taught TO miss
his meals often, sit up late night, eat oil
sorts of festive suppers, and sit patiently
to hear long and dull speeches from after-
dinner orators. He must learn not TO be
alarmed by threats OF horsc-whipping.
and must bc licked occasionally by the
professor to accustom him to any incidents
Of the kind that arc not improbable to oo-
cur.
"Ho must be taught to have no emo
tions of his own, TO look upon oil calami.
ties with purely professional cye, to OBJ
serve and describe tho convulsing humor
ola popular comedian, and catch the last
sigh of an expiring victim Of tho hang
man, with tho same stoical Indifference.
The professor of local reporting ought to
hang man occasionally in tho presence
ofthe class, In order that they may become
accustomed TO reporting executions. And
finally, tho candidate for the local chair
should learn to live ona moderate income,
stcrnly subdue all inclinations for more
than tho ncccsarics of life. and be willing
to give poverty smiling welcome, until
fate or his own exertions hoists him to
higher place."
