Sol. HEwES SANBORY.

BEECHERs COMPLETE letter. RITER.-Henry
Ward Beecher closes Characteristic article in
the New York Ledger on letter-writiug with
the following sensible advice:
Do not begin a letter with an apology or an
explanation. Time is precious. Letters are mul-
titudinous. Men do not like to open aud clean
letter like fish before they can eat it. State
your business in the first line Then. when you
have stated your business, you can go on, if you
wish, with explanations and apologies, which the
receiver can read or not, as he pleases. Thus, if
one writes, Dear sir, desire to borrow thou
sand dollars, without interest or security" and
adds eight or ten reasons why, the receiver does
not need to read further than the first line.
Never begin thus Dear Sir You will be
surprised to receive letter from an entire strau-
ger" &c. Bless your dear heart, one nowadays
is surprised at anything else. Surprised am
surprised when DO not get peck week.
There are u few rules which men should commit
to memory in corresponding with busy people.
l. Don't write at ALL
?. When you can't help it, be sharp, short and
legible
3. When you write about your own business,
pay for the answer.
4 When you want money, don't begin with
piety or fattery. Beg first, and be pious after
wards.
s. Don't beg of any one with whom you arc
not personally acquainted. Die, but don't beg

AN EXTENSIVE WHEAT FIELD.-0n one side
of the San Joaquin river in this valley, there
is grain field which extends for thirty-fve
miles aud is of an average width of eight miles,
thus covering an area of LIS, 200 acres. Persons
who have lately travelled through this immense
grain field estimate the total average yield at six
teen bushels TO the acre, which will give total
yield of 1857 200 bushels, or S60l5 tons. This
amount of grain would load s,6Ol cars, which, if
made up in Que train, would reach for over eighty
miles or from Bantas to the Oakland wharf.
There is, however, much larger area cultivated
in grain on the east side Of the San Joaquin than
on the west side. From Lathrop to MERGED, q
distance of over fifty miles, the railroad runs
through an almost unbroken grain field, extend
ing as far as the eye can see on either side. The
product of this whole valley will be much great
er than ever before. and the railroad company
will find it very difficult to move the immense
amount to market before the commencement of
the rainy season.-StOck1oR Independent

A DEATH HEAD AND CRosSBoNEs
ought to be the trade mark of every
dealer in Rum Bitters. But no; to
proclaim their real mission would ruin
them, so they sail under false colors,
and do their deadly work surreptitious-
ly. Fortunately their triumphs over
credulity are nearly at an end. Ever
since the introduction of DIR. WALKERS
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs the sale
of all the burning fluids advertised as
"tonics" has been rapidly doclinin g.
They are still the unwholesome solace of
individuals who wish to satisfy a NOR
bid appetite for strong drink, without
compromising their respectability but
the sick are everywhere discarding them
and adopting the VINEGAR BITTERs.
The success of this wonderful vegeta-
BILE remedy astonishes DR.. Walker him
self. He believed, when he gave it to
the world, that it was an unequalled
tonic, free from the objections urged
against the medicated tire-waters and
dilutions of strychnine, quinine and 9th.

ern practice; but he scarcely expected
that it would prove specific for chronic
dyspepsia, liver-complaint, incipient
consumption, confirmed rheumatism

al debility and all diseases that disor.
ders, without destroying, the vital ma.
chinery. Yet this, unless thousands OF
witnesses have conspired to deceive the
public, is actually the case.

EXTREMES IN DREss.-No surer sign
OF vulgarity exists than an inordiuate
love of snowy dress. Toilets even when
tasteful as to color and style, denote, if
habitually rich and snowy, mental vul-
garity, their transparent design being,
by superficial material means, to impress
the beholder. The refined beholder is
unfavorably impressed, suspeeting such
outward richness to be mask of inward
poverty. Hence, a prevalent fashion of
costly dressing betrays general vu!garity
The finest type of ladyhood recoils Of
Tended, from her mirror, if seeing herself
besilked, and befeathered, and bejeweled,
for morning walk OF drive. She will
be simply elegant in her attire, indoors
or out, as in her manners, and will not
exhibit, either in the one or the other,
the slightest effort to optvie her neigh

How to Live on $1,000 a Year.

Under the heading of Household
Expenses" the New York Times has
called out long list of communica-
tions, showing how middle-class family
may be maintained in good houses, and
have every comfort, on $1,000. The
following plan strikes us as the most
feasible and commonly practised:
"Your inquiries are by far more num-
erous than the replies as to the method
of making both ends meet when keeping
house or living on small salary or in
come. 1 have for the past two years
kept house with a wife, three children,
and two servants on an income of less
than 81 200 per annum, and from present
appearances shall do it again this year.
Ny plan is this spend what need
to live we'll, keeping a monthly account
with the butcher, grocer, etc. let the
bills accumulate for period of say two
months, and at this time the treasury is
empty, and the bills considerable. Then
(and this is the great idea) my wife col
lects the bills, and goes, with tears in
her eyes, to her father, pleads poverty,
talks the old gentleman out of a check,
and the crisis is met. The next time, to
give him rest, one of the two inevita-
Bile well-off brothers-in-law is called in
requisition. This, you will see, only
happens twice year to each and it
don't hurt them much, SO we swing
along. The above is the only feasible
plan see, and is, know, the most com
mon way. No young man, in my
opinion, has right to get married un-
less his father-in-law keeps bank ac-
count, and unless the marriage brings
him couple, at least of moneyed
brothers-in-law."

LIE Down AND REsT.--Dr Hall saws
the best medicines in the world, more
efficient in the cure of disease, than all
the potencies of the materia medica, are
warmth, rest, cleanliness and pure air.
Some persons make il. a virtue to brave
disease, to "keep up as long as they
can move a foot or crook o finger, and il
sometimes succeeds; but in others the
powers of life are thereby so completely
exhausted that the system has lost all
ability to recdperate, and slow and
typhoid fever sets in, and carries the
patient to q premature grave. When
ever walking or work is an effort, warm
bed and cool room are the first indis-
pensable steps to sure and speedy re-
covery. Instinct leads all beasts and
birds to quietude and rest the very mo-
ment disease or wounds assail the sys-

Louisa Maeder William M8eder !!
shouted Clerk johnson in. the Court of
Special Sessions yesterday. '." .
A pale, huhehbacked woman, with a
babe in her arms stepped slowly for
ward and took her seat upon the witness
stand. She was dressed in suit of
black, and her large eyes looked out
piteously upon the three justices and
the steaming crowd of spectators
A respectfully dressed and gentleman
ly man stepped from the prisoners pen
to the bar. His eyes fairly started
from his head as he looked toward his
wife. p" Louisa" he murmured in a
soft, heart-broken tone, but no answer
came from the witness stand
Justice Cox conducted the examina-
ton. Turning to the deformed woman
he said
"Where do you ive?"
"No. 21 City Hall place."
Have you been beatenY"
IL have been beaten very often," was
the plaintiffs answer. "He always
tries to kick me in the body, but this
time he kicked me in the face"
Louisa" came in tender tones from
the bar.
Louisa turned and met her husbands 8

to their Honors she said:

Where did ysu get that scar on the
nose 7" asked Justice Shandlcy, "did he
hit you there Z"
yes, sir; please put him under
bail"
Justice Cox turned to the prisoner
and said:
"William, the Court finds you guilty
and sentences you to the penitentiary
for one month"
Williams fortitude forsook him. He
began to weep. Two officers took him
and forced him from the room. The
poor hunchback wife and mother sprang
from the seat, and with deep emotion
exclaimed, "Please sir, don't do that"
Three little girls, the eldest not more
than eight years old, ran up to the bar
and began to cry for "papaw The
prisoner had by this time been forced
half way across the Bridge of Sighs.
The scene was too much for the Justices
Mr. Cox spoke:
"Bring that man back" He return
ed, tears of genuine grief in his eyes.
"WllilaIu," said Justice Cox "in con-
sideration of your wife and children
the Court will suspend judgment Oh

Then followed tableau such as q

took his children in his arms and kissed
them lovingly. His deformed wife
hung on his arm, and the family wen

Letters.

Letters are of very ancient origin.
The first letter of which we have any
record is that written by David to
Jonah, directing him to place Uriah in
the front of the battle. A bad begin
ming, surely. Cicero wrote a letter. as
he did everything, with ease and ele-
gance. Seneca and the younger Pliny
also excelled in this art. The Romans
used tablets of wood coated with wax
sometimes ivory or parchment. The
Spartans sent their secret dispatches in
time of war on a long strip of parch-
nlrnt. This was first wrapped around a
staff, rolled slantwise and written
lengthwise, then taken off, and carried
by Il special messenger to the command
er who had similar staff. 1t would, of
course, be perfectly unintelligible when
unwound, and so would cause no trouble
if it should fall into the hands of an en-
emy, but when wound on the staff OF
the re e:eiver it would reveal its mean
ing.
Herodotus tells of a cruel practice re-
sorted to, to convey secret intelligence
with safety. The head of trusty mes
senger was shaved, and the writing was
impressed on his skull. This was not a
rapid method of transmitting news, for
the poor fellows hair must grow long
enough to conceal the writing, and on
arriving at his destination he must
again be shaved. 1t is probable that
little anxiety was manifested in those
days to secure the position of a letter
carrier
In oar time, the cheap postage makes
letters valueless as literary productions.
But in the dear" old times, when one
felt it his duty to make his epistle worth
twenty-five cents, the letters were not
only long and newsy, but worth keep
ing, and the letters of the past, pub
lshed for our delight, form one Of the
most charming branches of our lighter
literature. The French, as a nation, are
the best letter writers. and woman,
Madame De seyigne, is their brightest
star in that respect. But English read
ers can boast of Lady Mary Montague
and Walpole. Gray, Cowper. Scott,
Byron, Southey and Burns have all dis
tinguished themselves by their letters.

The Value of Salt,

Salt is one of the necessities of life,
and any thing we eat, except bread,
could be more readily spared. 1t is in
teresting to know how salt has been
valued in former times. DR.. Letheby
says: ....
Animals in fact, will travel long dis
tances and brave the greatest dangers to
obtain it. Men will barter gold for it /;
indeed, among the Gallas and on the
coast of Sierra Leone, brothers will sell
their sisters, husbands their wives, and
parents their children, for salt.
In the district of Accra, on the Gold
Coast of Africa, a handful OF salt is the
most valuable thing upon earth after
gold, and will purchase u slave or two.
Mungo Park tells US that with the Man
dingoes and Bambaras the use of salt is
such a, luxury, that to say of a man,
He favors his food with salt" is to i'm
ply that he is rich and children will
suck a piece Of rock-salt as if It were
sugar. ! i1tt a-.t- .-...' ..
No stronger mark of respect or affec-
tion can be shown in Mussovy than the
sending of salt from the tables of the
rich to their poorer friends. In point of
fact the value of salt in a dietetical and
sanitary point of view has been recog-
nized from the earliest time. In the
book of Levitious it is expressly COM
manded as one of the ordinances of
Moses, that every oblation of meat upon
the altar shall be seasoned with salt,
without lacking; and hence it is called
the salt of the covenant of God.
The Greeks and Romans also used salt
N their sacriticial cakes and it is still
used in the services Of the Latin church
the para mica, or pinch of salt, being
in the ceremony of baptism put into the
child's mouth, while the priest says,
Receive the salt of wisdom, and may
it be propitiation to thee for eternal
life"
Everywhere, and almost always, in
deed, it has been regarded as emblemat-
ioal of wisdom, wit and immortality. To
taste of mans salt was to be bound by
the rites of hospitality; and no oath
was more solemn than that which was
sworn upon bread and salt. To sprinkle
the meat with salt was to drive away
the devil, for, in the quaint language Of
an old divine, I" He loveth no salt on his
meat, for that is a sign of immutabil-
ity;;" and to this day nothing is more
unlucky than to spill the salt.
