The English Press on the Nominations.


London, July l2.-The London journals
comments as follows on the nomination of
Greeley by the Baltimore Convention
The Adraiise' confcsscs that its sympa-
thics are entirely with Mr.. Greeley rs a
newspaper man. SGD
The Post declares that such a fragrant
reductio adj absaTdam will largely tend to
bring about the abandonment of a system
whereby the people of America have been
so long deprived Of all real choice for their
President. l"a 90
The Telegraph styles Greeley a political
weather-cock, and says: THAT as a Dem
ocrat, supported by the south, he is ell
deavoring to unseat the General who saved
the Union" 4.a
The Standard thinks that Greeley would
be an eligible candidate but for his election
eering acts, He is as honest as a partisan
can be, and he shows occasionally giimpses
of rough good sense, but he is violent in
temper, without regular education, and de-
void OF experience in the administration of
public affairs. In fact, he is a respectable
yeoman of the last generation. Although
Greeley is inferior to Adams, he is not III
ferior to Grant. We do not believe if he
is elected his snbordinates will he appoint
ed from the Tribune office.

The Advertising swindIer.

The Chicago Times in an elaborate
article on swindling," has this to say
concerning the advertising swindler; z
He coaxes unwary merchants into
giving him his "ad." by hundred
spurious lodges. He is going to have a
fabulous number of hotel registers man
ufactured, or a lot of directories made
to be hung in rural postofiices and rail
way depots; or is about to issue an ad-
vertising sheet for gratuitous circula-
ton" devoted to the Lord knows what;
or is a painter, and being about to sally
forth to, bedaub the rocks and hills of a
beautiful land with his impudent an
nouncemeuts, he wheedles the tradesman
into letting his name be associated with
this vilest Of advertising swindles.
Or he is going to ornament
telegraph poles in the same manner; or
to rig up vehicle, containing notices,
to be driven about the streets; or has
frames TO your card in divers public
places; or, in short, wishes to defraud,
by some speeious game, the advertiser
out of his hard earned money. He has
a thousand or more methods of perpe-
trating his frauds, from proposals to dis
figure street lamps aud board fences to
painting your announcement on the
front Of the country pulpit. But the
basis of al his propositions is arrant

The stereotrpea smile.

Beware of man or woman with fixed
smile. Trust the most hideous scowler
before the being who goes about with an
angelic grin carefully exhibited TO all
eyes under any and every circumstance.
1t is not natural TO smile perpetually,
and no one ever assumes mask without
being conscious of necessity for con-
cealment. Don't misunderstood me.
There are young women and a few old
men, who break into smile whenever
they sreak. These are not the people l
mean. The smile of which | warn you
is motionless, bypocritical, fixed ex.
preston, which have seen worn during
a silent three hours journey by rail,
without the slightest alteration = that
sort Of smile which most misguided lady
artists present upon their canvas when
they delineate martyrs, saints and an
gels. The portrait of lady has diff
ferent smile-the fashion-plate simper-
which, though serii-idiotic, is not dan
gerous. Persons of no penetration al
lude to the chronic smile as so sweet"
and any one capable of holding the
muscles of the face under control, is
generally able to squeal sweetly, to move
quietly aud to use chronic language,
measured tones, in moments OF the
greatest excitement, and so can always
place better man or woman at great
disadvantage, and appear injured and
innocent when actually most guilty.

Miss EmiIx FaithfuIl.

This lady who, it is announced, will
soon visit America for the purpose of
furthering those philanthropic objects
with which she has long been promi-
nently identified in England. is the
daughter of Rev Ferdinand Faithful,
and was born at Headley Rectory Sur
rey, in 1895. She was educated at an
excellent school in Kensington, where
she displayed not Only remarkable in
telectual ability, but that frmness and
independence of character for which she
has since been noted. She was pre-
spnted at court when twenty-one years
of age, and for some time afterwards en-
tered into all the gayeties of the best
London society, but becoming interested
IN the condition Of her own sex, she
abandoned pleasure. seeking and de-
voted herself exclusively to the advance
ment of women. Believing that this ad-
vancement could be most easily and
permanently secured by enlarging the
sphere of female labor, she found
ed in 1860 typographical establish
ment in which all the compositors were
women. This enterprise met the cordial
approval of the Queen. and is now in
successful operation under the name of
" The Victoria Press Miss Faithful
being appointed by royal warrant,
printer and publisher in ordinary to
her majesty" In 1863, she started the
Victoria Magazine, periodical adVo-
eating the claims of women to remuner-
ative employment, and since then has
delivered a number of lectures and ad-
dresses on the same subject. Miss Faith
full is, in the best sense of the phrase, a
woman of mark, and will receive a cor.
dial welcome on this side of the ocean.
Like most of her class Miss Faithful is
both writer and a lecturer. She is
editor and proprietor of magazine and
has lectured for several seasons. She
wears her hair cut short and is described |
as a typical English-woman, tall, large
framed, stout and buxom, standing
nearly head and shoulders above the
average American woman"

MEMPHIS TENN FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER g. 1872


A notable parsonage has Just died
Mr.. Augustus Smith, King of the Scilly
Islands, of which there are 40, although
only six are inhabited Mr.. Smith was
wealthy and crotchety Englishman,
who in regard to government had no.
tions of his own which he wished to
carry into practice, and so he became
lessee of the Scilly Islands, under the
county Of Cornwall He thus became
King Of about two thousand subjects,
most of whom were a wretched lot Of
peasants, for the islands are poor and
unfruitful. With court Of twelve men
he ruled the land, readjusted the rela-
tons of land and people, and attended
generally to their moral, social and re-
ligious status, although in the latter item
he was not very strict. He made the
children go to school, and in every par
ticular the inhabitants had to obey him
almost as if they we're slaves. Once he
packed off all the residents of one of
the islands into deer park, but in recon-
pense he gave the poor people better ac-'
commodations than they had even had
before At first he was greatly disliked
but when the islanders came to see that
his rule was wise and beneficent, and
that they greatly improved under it,
they learned to like and respect him,
and at his death he was much regretted.
This is probably the first king who has
borne the name of Smith, at least in
modern times, and it is not likely that
he will have successor to his title.

Bogus Ouriosities.

From Appleton s Journal
Collectors of uriosities-coins, med
ais, ornaments and the like-know we'll
that much experience and a certain de-
gree of shrewdness are necessary to
qualify one to make purchases. Every
market, from the shops OF Paris and
Rome to the bazaars of Cairo and Jeru.
salem, is filled with cheap limitations of
the antique. One may buy armor and
arms, each with its romantic history;
paintings by the old masters, with indis-
putable certificates of genuineness; jew
eled ornaments, worn by almost every
real or fictitious celebrity; and coins
and medals of all the rulers of the earth,
from Menes down. The expert can
generally distinguish the genuine from
the spurious at glance, but instances
have occurred where the imitation was
so perfect that skillful connoisseurs have
been deceived. Rare coins have been
forged since the fifteenth century, and it
is probable that more than one-half of
the ancient specimens offered for sale
are spurious. In Cairo and Alexandria,
the manufacture of coins, medals, scara-
bai and other curiosties. has become a
regular and, we fear, profitable busi-
ness. But few articles are offered
for sale at time, and with
great secrecy and the duped pur-
chaser is led to believe that he is
especially favored, and has obtained
bargain. The late discovery of the
Moabite Stone, and the interest excited
by it in the archaeological world, have
incited the curiosity manufacturers to
turn their skill in new direction; and
a thriving trade in spurious inscriptions
has sprung up in and around Jerusalem.
Scarcely a week passes that does not un-
earth a fragment of Semitic monu-
ment, that can be purchased of its finder
for reasonable sum. A correspondent
of London paper says that the Be
douins scour the country in search of
inscriptions, and seldom fail to find what
they seek. The factory undoubtedly
pays we'll, for a number Of brand-new
examples of ancient art have been dis
posed of to amateur arch9ologists pos
sessed of more money than experience.
They are said to be fairly executed. A
stone lately produced, with an inscrip-
ton in Nabatnn characters, had the let
ters we'll scratched in, and had evidently
been lying in some kind of lye to give it
an antique appearance. The author of
these forgeries, which require consid-
erable degree of scholarly attainment
and some skill, is said to be German
Jew, residing in Jerusalem.

How eloquently does Chataubriand
reply to this inquiry: There is a God !
The herb of the valley, the cedars sports
in His beams; the elephant salutes Him
with the rising orb of day; the bird sings
to Him in the foliage; the thunder pro-
claims Him in the heavens; the ocean
declares his immensity; man alone has
said, There is no GodF Unite in
thought at the same instant the most
beautiful objects in nature; suppose that
YOU see at once at all hours Of the day
and all seasons of the year; morning
of spring and a morning Of autumn; a
night bespangled with stars and night
covered with Clouds meadows enameled
with flowers, aud forest hoary With snow;
fields guided by tints of autumn then
you will have a just conception of the
universe. While You are gazing upon the
sun which is plunging under the vault of
the west, another observer admires him
emerging from the gilded gates of the
east By what inconceivabls magic does
that aged star, which is sinking fatigued
and burning in the shades of evening, re-
appear al the same instant, fresh and
humid with the rosy dcws of morning2
At every instant of the day the glorious
orb is at once rising, resplendeAt ut
MONDAY, and setting in the west; or
rather our senses deceive us, and there iss,
properly speaking, no east, gest or south
IN the world. Everything reduces itself
to single point, from whence the Nng
of day sends forth al opte triple light
in one substance. The bright splendor
Is perhaps that which nature can present
that is most beautifully for while it gives
rs an idea of the perpetual magnllicence
and restless power OF God, it eKhorts at
the same time shining image OF the

A CHINESE PRAYING MACHINE.
Good Thing 70. Grant Radicals to

From the Shanghae Budget. July6.l
We have been favored with an oppor-
tunity of inspecting Mongolian pray
ing machine, Hu-lung-tung recently
received by Mr.. George Stent, along with
lother literary treasures, from friend in
Pekin, whose zeal in exploring the less
frequented by-ways Of Chinese and Mon
golian literature is worthy of all COM
mendation. The meaning of the name
" Hu-lung-tung is said TO be Mongo-
llion Dragon Cave" the idea appearing
to be that the use of the machine is to
gain access for the aspirations of the
persons using it into the secret retreat of
the sacred Dragon. The machine itself
is red copper cylinder about five
inches long and three inches in dame
ter. The bottom and top, of the same
material, are both removable; in the
center of the bottom is hole, through
which copper pin about seven inches
long passes and fits into a socket IN
the center of the inner surface of
the lid Holding this pin in the
left hand, and giving to the machine
revolving motion with the right, IL
can be kept spinning rapidly round by
the same rotary action Of the one hand,
as an acrobat uses in supporting bowls,
saucers, etc., on the top of wand. The
outer surface of the cylinder is divided
by chased scroll-work into five panels, on
each OF which is a Sanscrit character
standing out in bas-relief, the whole
forming the Buddhist ejacnlatory prayer;
20 mi pat ma hom; !" Of the precise
Significance Of which we must confess
our ignorance. of course the idea is
that the more frequent the revolutions OF
the machine the greater the merit of the
revolutionist Accompanying the ma
chine are an immense number of paper
slips, on which are printed prayers in
Sanscrit. There are also two volumes
which are filled with a catalogue of va
rious titles and attributes of Buddha,
printed in Sanscrit, Mongolian and Chi
nese. OF these the following may serve
as specimens: 'Pearly bright Buddha,"
lion, ,jawed Buddha,p golden mountain

Two Hindoos in a canoe were lately
picked up by passing vessel and taken
to Antwerp. They stated that they had
gone fishing, when storm suddenly
arose and carried them out to sea.
When found they were nearly 700 miles
from the coast.
Two years ago Connecticut man re-
ceived gross insult from a neighbor
who lives a quarter of mile or more
from him. After long meditation he has
now purchased peacock and jackass
and anchored them in a field adjoining
his neighbor's back yard.
The most extraordinary instance of
patience on record is that of an Ameri-
