The Initiative Uhinee,
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says: l was once teaching a China
man in my employ to make biscuit and,
after cutting them in form, there was
small bit of paste left, which l placed
carelessly in the corner of the pam
'John," during a service of two years,
never missed the bit in the corner.
The same boy was particularly anx-
ious to learn stocking-darning, and at
length consented to instruct him in that
delicate art. The stocking selected for
the first lesson CHANGED to be brown in
color. l gave him a needle threaded
with blue, and he ever after believed
that brown hose was to be mended with
blue.
The Chinese will also often initiate
che voice and manner of the people with
whom they live, and that, l am salts
fed, without any intention of imperti-
nence or humor. The Chinaman in my
employ gave a curious illustration of
this. One member of the family was
musical young lady who was near-sight-
ed and somewhat given to vanity and
affectation. 1 had often seen John"
watching her with considerable quiet
interest, but was not then aware how
closely he had copied her young-lady
airs.
One morning "John" was sent to dust
a room in which were several musical
instruments. AS l passed the door,
which was slightly ajar, heard dis
cordant twanging of guitar-strings.-
Peeping in, discovered him in approx
ed troubadour attitude, with a sheet OF
music before him and attempting to sing
Schubert's ''Serenade." He could re-
member no more than "Thleugh the
Tees" then he would begin again. He
looked and acted so much like one who
was accustomed to sing it that 1 stole
away to call some of the others to par
ticipate in my enjoyment
When we reached our post of observa-
ton, "John" had given up the guitar
and was seated at the piano, with stiff
back and elevated wrists, pretending to
play an accompaniment He would
stop playing and settle his imaginary
skirts, then pretend to readjust his eye
glasses, then turn over the leaves of the
music, and peer at them with his nose
almost buried in the pages.
After striking few more discords,
he daintily stroked his imaginary
"bangs," toyed coquettishly with the
bangles which were not on his wrists,
then raising his face towards the gentle
man supposed to be standing beside
him, and putting on what was intended
for q captivating smile, struck up
"Take Back the Heart that Thou Ga
vest"
We could endure no more, but burst
into hearty laughter.

TOBACCO.
Iowa County a Good Place to Grow
that Valuable Plant.

A gentleman formerly living at Ed
gerton, Dane county, in conversation
with one of eur prominent citSZens a
few days ago, asked why cur people
did not raise tobacco here, as he con-
sidered this section well adapted for
that purpose. He also stated that he
had raised a number of acres of
tobacco this year near Lancaster, with
splendid results, and he had no doubt
whatever that first-claSs tobacco could
be raised here.
The ground necessary to raise large
crop is comparatively little. and a few
acres will produce crop worth from
several hundred to several thousan d
dollars. A garden patch would sur
prise many by yielding more profit
than small farm.
DIR. Vivian of this city. raised some
fine tobacco in his garden this year,
and others have met with like success.
The indications are that tobacco will
yield as largely and be equal in quail
ity to that grown in any other part of
the state.
Tobacco raising is one of the leading
industries of Dane and Rock counties
Those engaged in the business there
are well-to-do and prosperous. Its
cultivation and preparation for market
gives employment to large number
of men, women and children, and the
receipts are also large.
GAINESVILLE is a wholesale tobacco
market, and is comparatively close at
hand. A trip to that vicinity, costing
but a few dollars, would give any one
valuabls and essential knowledge in
regard to its culture. No machinery
is necessary. and any industTiously dis
posed person can engage in the busi-
ness.

o'clock, by experienced furnace men.
under the direction of Manager McMa-
hon. The oxide produced is of very,
fine quality, pure white. and is the
product of ore mined here and at
Highland. The process by which the
dark orc is converted into snow white
oxide is marvel in itself. The works
are constructed according the most
modern and improved plans; the ma
chinery is all new and first-class. The
manager, Mr.. Jas. Mcmahon, has had
twenty-seven wears experience in the
manufacture of zinc white, during a
greater portion of which time he was
Superintendent of the Lehigh zinc
works of Bethlehem, Penn. Mr.. Nc
Mahon pronounces the oxide just pro-
duced here as equal to that manufac-
tured by the Lehigh or any other zinc
company, and his statements have been
verified by testing our oxide with sam
Piles of the finest and purest oxide to
be obtained Ioput the works in sue
cessful operation at the first trial. is
the greatest evidence that could be pro-
duced of Mr.. McMahon's ability and
skill.
The company have on hand about
| two thousand tons of dry bone and two
thousand tons of coal, and the capacity
of the works is from five to six tons OF
oxide per day. 1t is estimated that the
present supply of ore and coal will last
about four months.
Now that these works have proved
successful, factory for the manafac-
ture of zinc paints will follow. We
are reliably informed that steps have
| taken IN this direction.
/ Truly, new era has dawned upon
our city, and we are confident that one
enterprise will follow another until we
become that for which our advantage!

Denial.

In our issue of Nov. 3, we published
in our local advertising columns card
signed by J. M. Dale. clerk of the circuit
court. The card was published and
charged for as an advertisement, and
being signed by Mr.. Dale, we admitted
it to our columns without in any man
ner endorsing the statements therein.
We had no intention of doing injustice
to Mr.. A. Macarthur who was the sub
ject of Mr.. Dale's card, and with whom
our business relations have been of the
most friendly and satisfactory natu re.
Below we give Mr.. McArthur's denial
of the charges made against him:
DoDGEyILLE, Wis, Nov. IA, 1852
EDS. DEMoCRAT.-In your paper Iun-
der date of Nov. Sd, Mr.. Dale published
a card charging me with slandering
him and his family for the purpose of
defeating him at the then coming cleo
ton; and that | was induced to do this
because he did not allow me to tax
what HE denominateS illegal fees be-
fore him.
This falsehood was branded in the
Dodgeville Sun under date of the Sd
inst. Upon the question of costs | now
refer you and the public to the records
OF the circuit court at Dodgeville and
particularly to the following cases in
which the attorney named after each
case procured the costs to be taxed
therein, and in no one of them has the
rate of taxation been less than that
which | have claimed before Mr.. Dale.
Af Nv 06
ministrator, etc, against Goodsell ct al.
decided at the last term of the court, j.
Montgomery Smith, attorney.
I'd. Florence Sprague against John
o. Dowd ct al, Wilson u McIlhon, at
tOrneys.
Sd. John Farragher against Stephen
Bell, Aldro jerks, attorney.
4th. Joseph Pearce against Anton
Copseva ct al, j. j. HoSkins, attorney.
/ might extend the list much farther
but it is not necessary. The attorneys
named are of honorable standing and
no one will suspicion the fairness of
their taxation. 1 am Informed that
some attorneys have privately held up
this lie. / know attorneys who prac-
tice kind of piracy upon their fellows;
whose private chat aud Office talk is
the praise of themselves aud the bril-
| liancy of their own doings and the dis
credit of others lawyers, not present.
This purpose is to raise on the ruin of
others. Their characters impress me
as cowardly and loathsome. But l will
not occupy your space further.
ARCHIBALD MACARTHUR.
| EDS. DEMoCRAT.-Thec card that Mr.
Dale published in your paper concern
ing Mr.. Macarthur / know to be false.
l was with Mr.. Macarthur all the time
he was out during the late canvass.
He did not say anything i'll of Mr.. Dale
or his family. but l know | have re-
peatedly heard him speak well of Mr.
Dale as an officer. Nothing could be
more unjust to Mr.. Macarthur than the
statement made by Mr.. Dale. The an
swer of Mr.. Macarthur through the
columns of the "Sun is the truth.
j. l.. LEONARD,
Clerk Circuit Court elect.
| Mr.. McArthur's statements in the
Dodgeville Sun answering Mr.. Dale'S
card are, so far as they relate to the
conversation which took place between
Mr. Macarthur and Mr.. Paul in my
shop. correct. j. PENHALLEGoN, SR
