4 Materiaiistic joke.

A lecturer on materialism and a city
missionary met the other day IN England
to discuss before an audience the ques-
ton of responsibility. "Science, said
the philosopher, "has proved beyond
doubt that at the end of a few years not
a particle in my body or brain remains !;
every atom has passed away, and the
new matter forms q new man, who can
not be held accountable for the conduct
of another" The audience seemed en-
chanted. Then arose the city missiona-
~ and said Ladies and gentlemen,
it is a matter of regret to me that I
have to engage in discussion with a
man of questionable character, with
one, in fact, who is living with a woman
to whom he is not married" Up rose,
in wrath, again the materialist. Sir,
this is shameful, and repudiate your
insOlent attack on my character. I defy
you to substantiate your charge. / was
married to my wife twenty years ago,
and we have lived happily together ever
since. This is a mere attempt at evad-
ing the force of my argument" Z" On
the contrary" replied the city mission
arv. sI reafirm my charge. You were
never married to the person with whom
You are living. Twenty years ago two
other people may have gone to church,
bearing your names, but there is not
one atom in your bodies remaining of
those which were then married. 1t fol-
lows inevitably that you are living In
concubinage, unless you viii admit that
you are the same msn who was married
twenty years since. The philosopher
was compelled, amid great cheering, to
allow that, somehow or other, credit and
discredit for past actions must be grant
ed even by materialists.

Pleasure Without Pain.

Among the many "mOss-grown er-
rors which is the delight OF philoso-
pliers, moIalisUs, and poets, to forever
keep repeating, there is none which
more needs exposure than that about
pleasure always eluding the grasp of
her pursuers. So often has it been re-
peated that the mere attempt to enjoy
ones self is enough to render enjoy
ment imposs' bic, that it is a wonder
that people have not, by the mere force
of authority, given up altogether all
essays at pleaaure-seeking.
There can be no pleasure without
thought, or without exertion, that does
not aim at pleasure, or the exercise of
the moral powers, says a religious con-
Temporary. Is it possible that the writer
of those sentiments never went to sleep
at night With an easy conscience, never
took an afternoon nap, OF enjoyed any
slumber son purpose ?" Is it possible
that he never went a-fshing and had a
good time, and caught quite q respect
able " string, without any exercise of
the moral powers? What have oysters
at their season, or watermelOns or reses,
so curious in their constitution, that
you must pretend to be going to church
when you are really going TO market,
In order to prevent their losing their
attractions for the senses ? ExertiOn
must aim at something else in order to
hit pleasure, forsooth
If there be any man with a life dreary
enough to write this specious sentiment
of the schools sincerely-a man who
has never sought and gained pleasure
through sight or hearing, and gained it
coDsciously-thenl let all men pity him !;
it is full time that he began to eat his
bread with joy, and to drink his vine
Cnetaphorically) with merry heart.

United States Wines,

The manufacture of wine has become
an industry of considerable Importance
in the Uuited States. In 1870 the pro
duction amounted to II, 450, 600 gallons.
OF this, California yielded 1000, 900 /;
New York, 2,225, 600; Illinois, ], 1,200,- :
900; Missouri, 1000, 600; and other
states, !, 900. 600. At the exposition in
Vienna, the United States stood ninth
in the list of exhibitors. The four
leading countries in the catalogue were
Austria with 1872 kinds of wine Hun
gary, 1874 kinds Spain, 1900 kinds /;
France 900 kinds. The United States
displayed eighty-two specimens, sent by
seventeen manufacturers and received
two medals of progress, four medals of
science, and three diplomas. The re-
port of DR.. AdOlph OFT, member OF the
Swiss commission, says that the United
States "sent ordinary and sparkling
catawba, Delaware wine, and cham
pagne, sweet and dry" The last
named received much commendation,
and was declared to be equal to the
best Spanish and Portuguese dry wines.
The sparkling wines were slso much
approved. It is well known that the
European vine, Wits vinifera, does not
flourish in America, on account of the
severe changes of temperature, and even
the bastards obtained by hybridization
are worthless for the production of
wine. On the other hand, North Auer-
ica possesses more than 800 native va
rieties, mostly of the Wits labrusca, of
which, however, only a small number
are cultivated. Mr.. Frederick Hecker,
who has experimental with ffty-seven
varieties, has settled upon fourteen.
The American varieties of vine flourish
exceedingly well, never freeze, and are
almost indestructible. For instance,
the catawba, the blue Isabella, and the
blue Madeira, are known in Europe.
Some kinds bear enormous grapes, as
the Concord, North Carolina, and 9TH
ers, which, according to Hecker, are
very well suited to the Rhine climate.
Upon the character of the American
wines Mr.. OFT remarks: 1.-THE odor
and taste of nearly all the labrusca va
rieties is similar to that of 1nuscatelle,
and varies between vanilla and straw
berry. The aroma, which is different
from the flavor of European wines, is
generally weak, and diminishes with
the age of the wine. Still the wine OBJ
tanned from the blue Isabella (cape
grape) is distinguished by q superior
boquet, which fills the surrounding air
with a spicy essence; for which reason
this grape is well fitted for admixture
with less aromatic grapes"

A Plunge in the North Sea.

NJ. Durnof and his wife, who recently
made the perilOus ascent from Calais,
have been rescued in the North sea.
As one of the attractive features of a
public fete given at Calais that day, it
WAS announced that the adventurous
seronaut and his wife would 90 up in
their balloon, the Tricolor, and if the
wind was favorable, they proposed to
make an aerial voyage over the channel
and land in England. The wind was
squally, and, moreover, blew in the
wrong direction. With south-easterly
current. the attempt would have been
made, but it blew varioUsly south and
southwest, and the only prospect before
the voyagers was descent in the Ger
man ocean, unless they could reach the
distant shores of Denmark or Norway.
The authorities forbade the ascent, but
part of the crowd, disappointed of the
sensational episode of the days amuse-
ment, taunted Durnof with cOwardice,
and, stuDg by their taunts, he and his
wife made the desperate effort TO carry
out their engagement, and LIE Trieolor
was seen rising in the clouds inst as night
was closing in, and drifting over the
Straits of Dover toward the open sea.
So it continued to drift fer ten hours,
when the gas being partly exhausted, it
fell into the North sea.
Then they saw and were seen by a
Grimsby fishing smack the crew hast
ened to their rescue, pursued the ca q.
which dipped and rose out of the wat
like flying fish, and finally, after a
chase of two hours. saved the half
drowned aeIonaut and his wife in the
middle of the North sea, some 10
miles from the Spur lighthouse.
According to these data it would seem
that the balloon had travelled about
three hundred miles IN a direct line,
its rate being between twenty-five and
thirty miles an hour, or about twice
the average horizontal motion of the
air.-LondOn Telegraph.

a Bridal Trlp wlthout q Bride.

Out in the town Of Harrison, Calu-
met county, and about eleven miles
from Menaska, a wedding occurred but
q few weeks ago, the particulars of
which we have Just been told. The
daughter of a prominent farmer was
united in the holy bonds to a " knight
of the pillow and drill, " whose expert
ence in the affairs of life had been suf-
ficiently varied to post him ON the
''tricks of trade" and, under all cir
cumstanees, allowed him 10 give " tit
for tat" Previous to the happy event,
arrangements were all made FOR we'd
ding tour of several days duration. In
due time the ceremony was performed,
and at a proper period the bride was
conducted to her chamber, end slowed
away in the contemplated nuptial couch.
The happy husband soon followed, and,
having reached the door of tho chamber
which contained his bride, raped
gently, but listened in vain for the an
ticipated welcome. He knocked again,
more nervoualy than before, but still
no answer was heard He gently
raised the latch the door was locked.
He called to the little mischief within,
but she answered him not, aud he was
finally compelled to seek other quarters.
How he passed the night it is not re-
corded. at an early hour in the morn
ing, the carriage which had been en-
gagged for the wedding tour was driven
to the door, and our hero stole gently
down stairs, entered the carriage. bade
the driver apply the lash, and was soon
out OF sight. He did not return until
after the lapse of ten days, during which
time he visited evlry place contempl0-.
ted previous to his marriage. On his
return he found his wife's bed room

The Georgia Gold Region.


The Atlanta News has been shown a
piece of gold ore taken from the Vine
branch mines, six miles from Dahlonega,
worth about $4,000 per ton. He had
a small piece weighing about one-fourth
of a pound, which contained six dollars
worth of the precious metal, the ore
being worth 5000, 600 per ton. Mr..
Harrison says that there are now three
mills in operation, two very large ones
building, and by next summer six or
eight mills will be running, employing
NJ arly two thousand hands. The mine
known as the Big Acqueduct mine pur-
chased by Mr.. Hand, of Ohio, will be
one of the largest in this section OF the
country. The Rcqueduct alone cost
about $500, 600. The power of the
mills viii range from twenty to forty
stamps, and each stamp can pound
twenty tons per day. One gentleman
has a mill that cost about s15, 600, can
pound one hundred pounds of ore per
day, at a cost of twenty dollars. The ore
of this mine averages about one dollar
per pound, leaving a net profit Of eighty
dollars per day. Great preparations
are being made, and by next spring
Dahlonega will present as busy an ap-
pearance as our own city.

IneIdents Of the Fan Rlrer Flre.

Incidents of the fire are narrated
some of them being of the most
heArtrending description. During the
height of the excitement q little girl.
scarcely IN her teens, appeared at one
of the upper windows gazing upon the
horror stricken people below. All eyes
were directed to her, in the expectation
of seeing her follow the example of
others who had jumped from the win
dows at the risk of life and limb. Those
who were holding beds beneath the
windows grasped them more firmly to
receive her, while scorces of voices
shouted to her to jump. The light
shone full upon her face, which was
Wreathed with a beautiful smile, as
though she had caught glimpse of the
other world already; as the people
gazed she slowly turned around and
disappeared forever from mortal view.
Whether she became insensible from
the smoke or whether the terror of the
moment had deprived the poor child of
reason, will never be known until the
dead give up their secrets. Another
incident that has been narrated as an
actual fact, but which have been una
bic as yet to substaEtiate, is almost in
credible, though not beyond the range
OF possibility. It is said that a little
fellow scarcely dozen years old, jump
ed from one of the upper windows to
the ground, and when the spectators
rushed forward to pick up the maDgled
body, they were astonished to see him
spring to his feet, apparently uniniured,
and start on a run TOR his home. Burst
ing into the house IN breathless haste,
he shouted TO his mother, '' The mill is
all on fire !" and then he suddenly drop
ped to the floor lifeless, the fearful
sixty-foot jump having resulted in fatal
internal injuries which the excitement
of the moment prevented his feeling.
1t appears that many of the deaths and
severe injuries we're caUsed by the peo-
pie striking upon the ladders which
were run up to the third and fourth
stories. One little girl struck between
two rounds in such a manner that her
back was instantly broken, and her
head hung down swaying back and
forth, and while the body reclined in
that position a man and woman in turn
struck against it, bounding off again TO
the ground. All the persons who at
tempted to escape from the attic did not
make clean jump to the ground. A
rope was thrown out of the window by
somebody, which reached good part
of the way to the ground, and quite
number slid down this rope as far as
possible, and then dropped the rest of
the way, thus escaping instant death
though all were more or less injured.
Two of the girls-Alice Stafford and
Nancy Mullen, who we're among those
who used the rope-had their hands
badly burned by the friction, and the
former had her back injured and both
ankles dislocated by the fall. The per-
sons who availed themselves of this
rope would have escaped serious injury
had not the rope caught fire by the
flames bursting out of the windows and
burned off some forty feet from the

knowledged queens of Washington so

Dudu. Without exception, l think she

from far-famed Carrara was ever more

Her hair was dark and lustrous, and
long black lashes shaded ewes OF that

Peter Lambs Adventure.

and she was leaning out of the window,
with shutters bowed so that be could
not see her. Lambs little tune con-
tanned one high note, and be struck It
suddenly, and with such terrible force
that it made her jump. She lost her

a Pnris Rnardinr Honsn.

Col. John ". FOrney writes to his
paper, the Philadelphia Press have
been staying since my arrival IN Paris
at Madame Dijon's Pension, % Rue
Oaumartin. A pension is a boarding
house, but it is very different from that
institution as we know it in Philadel-
phia. You get into it, as you do into
all the Paris edifices, public and pri-
vRte, by gate that looks like the gate
Of a great stable or baTnyard The
houses are built around a court, and
the windows of nearly all the rooms,
instead of opening into the street, look
down into this court. You ring at the
outer gate, which swings open, and n
French woman, who never talks Eng
lish, motions you TO the fret floor,
which ought to be the second, but is
not, and there yen meet Madame Dion,
who, happily, talks French and English,
and is a spry, curly lady, who has di-
vided her century with smile for the
winirg half upon which Rhe has entered.
Think Of it-nine francs a day (about
two dollars of onr money!, with good
room, good bed attendRnts, and meals.
That "a what her boarders pay. At the
Grand Hotel, the B'Athenee, and tho
Louvre, you escape we'll at twenty-five
francs, or six dollars q day. Better
bread. butter, coffee, o1neiets, beef
steak, fruit. or pastry than you get
from Madame DiiOn' could not be pro-
vided. Two meals day-breakfast
from to II, dinner from 70 8. Waf-
hes az breakfast and EiCe Et dinner.
