Remarks by Judge Bowie.

We publish the following, at the request Of
Mr. f. A. Tschiaely, as the substance of Hon.
R. J. Bowie's remarks at the Harvest Home
of the Grange
Most Worthy Grand Master I'll came here
this morning anticipating the pleasure OF ex-
changing salutaions with many old friends
and expecting to he silent spectator Of the
scene Since have witnessed your simple,
but very impressive, ceremonies listened to
your hymus Of praise, heard the eloquent ad-
dresseslof your lecturers, and participated in
the bountifu repast 90 Hospitality provided by
the Grange for all present without distinction,
feel il is the duty of your guests to acknowl-
edge their great obligations to your Society
for 'the feast of reason and flow of souln
they have enjoyed.
Without expressing any opinion as TO the
policy of such associations the pure and lofty
sentiments expressed BY your speakers must
command our highest respect, ii they do not
produce conviction. The claw of love- dc.
veloped by QUE which lin his eogent language)
"crushed the shell of selfshness," and made
mankind q band Of brothers; and veneration
for law vindcated and enforced in the most
glowing and emphatic language by another,
were urged as motives TO action which must
elevate and refine mankind. Such noble
thought, should not rest only in the memories
of those who heard them, or be locked up in
the archives Of the Grange, but ought to be
promulgated for the benefit Of the public.
have heard from this stand in the last twenty
years many able addresses in the interest Of
Agriculture, but few, in my Judgment, more
interesting or instructive than those delivered
TO day.
Judge Bowie moved that the addresses be
published and circulated in pamphlet form .-
The motion was carried, aud the pamphlets
will soon be in circulation.

BMGHTER BUSINESS PRosPEcrs.-Re
from the various commercial cities all agree in
saying that business is rapidly reviying and
that the back bone of the hard-tmes has final
ly given away In New York Boston and
the North the merchants are very much en-
couraged, and the report from Chicago and
the West is to the effect that more hnsiness is
being now transacted than at any period dur
ing the pAst several years. The immense
grain crops in the West and cotton crop in The
South are the largest ever grown in this
country The balance Of trade with Europe
is largely in our favor, and weekly shipments
Of gold from England to New York is becom-
ing quite extensive. Real estate-the fonnda-
ton of all moned wealth-so oug depressed,
is again being sought after as the safest of all
investments The New York World in an ex-
tensve review of the real estate market in that
city shows that real property is again in active
demand with a decidedly improved tendency
in prices. II says that it is 'nndeuiable that
all 6istrust' in other securities, whether they
be RAILWAY stocks or bank deposits, tends
to improve the value of one species of prop
erty--rea estate--which cannot run away or
be rendered worthless while civilization con-
tnues' AS we have heretofore stated, the
real estate market in Washington is becoming
quite active again, and this is one Of the surest
indications of returning confidence and re-
yiyal of business. Washington Star.

GENERAL HOOKER on THE BATTLE OF ANTE
TAN--Gen. Joseph Hooker has just sent to the
War Department his report Of the battle Of
Antietam, which he says was made out at the
time, but was mslaid. ami was never re-
covered until carly in July last. Gen. Hooker
draws graphic picture Of corn field filed
with Confederates, with the sun glistening on
their hayonets, the whole suddenly swept by
canister from half dozen batteries which he
ordered to spring into position, SO that ''eyery
stalk Of corn was cut as closely as could have
been done with a knife, and the slain lay in
rows, prsciselyas they had stood in'ther ranks II
few moments before General Hooker evil
dently believes that General Mcclellan blum
dercd badly in this battle, the attacks being,
he declares, 'made feehly by corps extending
over twenty-four hours, and Al last one corps
Of the army being nowhere engaged OF Gen
Burnside's point Of assault, too, Gen Hooker
says that "if more difficult aud iusurmount-
able point Of assault could have been found
on the Aniietam river, from its source to i,s
mouth, " he has not been able to find it,. Gen
Hooker does not regard the battle Of Anlielam
exactly in the light of a grea; victory for the
federal army-indeed he leaves the impress
sion that he does not regard il as q victory at

Positive People.

Of all the trials appointed by the way of discipline in this sublunary sphere, is not the greatest that of being forced into the perpetual companionship of a positive individual? One who is so eminently and distressingly respectable that he never did or could do wrong act in his life; yet who constantly jars upon your little harmonies and ideal dreams, who darkens your rose-colored atmosphere with glance, and jars every chord of life into discord. To be able to discover a flaw in the charac- ter of such person would be more re- freshing to your mind than that ''one vote" would be to defeated presiden- tial candidate; but no! from his i'm maculate and appalling responsibility there is no appeal. Defenceless and silent you must listen to his oracular opinions on every conceivable subject. His ground is staked out in right angles. around which your feet, leng accus- toned to wander at will in their own secret paths, must walk circumspectly.
 Oh for the grace oi adaptability Like charity it covers a multitude of sins. Though your friend be more wretched than a Patagonian, more un- comfortable in, disposition than the furies of old, yet shall his coming ever give you pleasure and his leaving pain,
 A great virtue in machinery is that it is easily adjustable to different work and different operators. It is no less a

About Buttons.

When buttons were first invented is a problem that very probably cannot now be solved, but it is a question whether they were used in the days of Isaac. Silvio Manaigo, however, evil
 dently thought such to be the case; for in his picture of the sale of Joseph to
 the Ishmae1ites the coat of one of the brothers is not only fastened, but even decorated by their means. Lucas van
 Leyden, too, was bold enough to put a chignon on the head of Jael, the wife Heber the Kenite, and not content with this he surmounted the edifice with q beautiful coal-scuttle bonnet. Salva- tor Rosa is another trespasser in the
 matter of head dresses. An exquisite work by this master represents the Baptist preaching in the wilderness {; but the whole effect is spoiled by the presence ill the background of some jaunty spectators in slouch hats and Haunting feathers. Van Dycka himself represents one of the apostles in sea boats in his picture of "''The Miraculous Draught of Fishes" which is now in the National Gallery, ,and PaulV eronese paints someltalian peasants in felt hats and plumes calmly contemplating the Alteration of the Magi. Agostino Car acci, in 8 picture of Tobias Amounting His Fathers Eyes," puts the two men in shoes; and N. Poussin, ill his cele- brated Passage of the Red Sea- in- troduces Roman armor of the time of the emperors regardless of the well ascertaiued fact that the Egyptians, about the days of the Hycsos, did not indulge in metal armor at all. In one of Raphaels best works the Trans figuration monopolizes the upper part of the canvas, while in the lower DOT tion the man possessed of an evil spirit is being simultaneously healed; and in Flemish painting of some note several corpulent boors, with clay pipes in their mouths, are gazing in wonder at David who is carrying the head of Goliath. Indeed, the history of the poet king is made frequent medium for anachronism, for in another picture of the death of Goliath the giant wears no armor except a plumed helmet, and in third David is hurling at his ad- versary a rough stone instead of a pebble. At his subsequent triumph, According to yet another painter, David is received by Greek maidens in front of an Italian building surmounted by flags, while two pyramids in the back
 ground vainly do their best to lend harmony to the scene. -.... ~.

Boy Cdsachmen im Russia.

The Russians are the best coachmen in the world. In order to acquire the great skill in driving to which they at tain they begin their training early in fact, when quite children. It is wonderful to see the boy coachman driving a carriage-and-four over rough and dangerous roads, at full gallop, for ten or twelve miles at stretch. Rus sia, as all know, is q country of vast ex- tent, being II ,OOO miles at it's greatest length, with an averagep width of ], 800 miles. and containing, as some estimate, 7,0O0,0 ,000 of square miles. The ordinary carriage roads are nearly the only means of communication; but these are of very inferior construction. Huge hollows and large stones continually intercept the the travellers progress frail bridges of wood, without any bat dement's or outside protection what ever, stretch across wide and rapid rivers; and over the dangerous roads, and the still more dangerous bridges, the Russian coachman dashes at the fastest gallop. It seems miracle that travellers do not, as rule, lose their lives and break their limbs and coaches every journey. The latter often takes place; the coach being stopped for re- pairs sometimes half dozen times on the road.

HOnlely MaxiunS.

Take care of your pennies. Look well to your spending. No matter what comes in if more goes out you will always be poor. The art is not in making money, but in keeping it. Lit tie expenses, like mice in barn, when they are many, make great waste. Hair by hair heads get bald; straw by straw the thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by drop the rain comes in the chamber. A barrel is soon empty if the cask leaks but drop a minute. When you begin to save begin with your mouth; many things pass down the red lane. The ale jug is a great waste. In all things keep within compass. Never stretch your legs farther than your legs will reach, or you will soon be cold. In clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff, ana not tawdry ineries. To be warm is the main thing, never mind the looks. A fool may make money, but it takes wise man to spend it. Remember that it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one going. If you give all to tle back and board, there is nothing left for the saving bank. Fare hard and work hard when you are young, and you will have chance to rest when you are old.
