But I enjoyed its atraction. Reporting is the best school in the world to get a knowledge of human beings, human nature, and human ways. A nice gentlemanly reporter—I make no reference—is well treated by everybody. Just think of the wide range of his acquaintanceship, his experience of life and society! No other occupation brings a man into such familiar social relations with all grades and classes of people. The less thing at night—midnight—he goes browsing around after items among police and jail-birds, in the lock-up, questioning the prisoners, and making pleasant and lasting friendships with some of the worst people in the world. [Laughter.] And the very next evening he gets himself up, regardless of expense, puts on all the good clothes his friends have got. [Laughter], goes and takes dinner with the Governor or the commander-in-chief of the district, the United States Senator, and some more of the upper crust of society. He is on good terms with all of them, and is present at every public gathering, and has easy access to every variety of people. Why, I breakfasted almost every morning with the governor, dined with the principal clergyman, and slept in the station house. [Laughter.] A reporter has to lie a little, of course, or they would dislodge him. That is the only draft profession.

NO. 15. Classification of California Wines. Our wines are generally considered cheap, but they are not as cheap as some of them should be, nor as high-priced as a few will surely become. It is of the greatest importance that we have wines that can be used instead of tea or coffee, and at a reduced price they can take the place of both these articles. That wine is healthier and contains more nourishment than either, is a fact upheld by the most reliable chemists and physicians. Growers should not receive less than their present profits; and hence we suggest the necessity of planting varieties, which, at the same cost in cultivation, will produce more to the acre; that they secure casks at a less cost, money at lower rates of interest, cheaper labor, and more perfect machinery. The wine merchants must also practice economy—secure low interest and increase the amount of his sales, so that his profits on each gallon shall be less, but in the aggregate more. It is by such united efforts that wine can be sold cheaper to the consumer; and when this has been accomplished, this industry will attain that firm and important position that it is destined to occupy in our commerce.

[Prolonged laughter.] less cost, money at lower rates of interest, cheaper labor, and more perfect machinery. The wine-merchants must also practice economy—secure low interest and increase the amount of his sales, so that his profits on each gallon shall be less, but in the aggregate more. It is by such united efforts that wine can be sold cheaper to the consumer; and when this has been accomplished, this industry will attain that firm and important position that it is destined to occupy in our commerce. The higher prices for certain wines will be established by known perseverance, and limited by the ability to supply the demand. Heretofore our wines have reached the consumer under the too general and too sweeping denomination of "California wine." This, however, is now fast being done away with, and each district is being recognized as producing certain characteristics of its own, and is receiving such reputation as its merits entitles it to. Thus, we have Sonoma, Anaheim, Los Angeles, Napa, and El Dorado wines, each bearing its peculiar characteristics, and purchased on that account. Gradually the classification will advance, and the distinction made be greater among the vineyards in each district. Even now this distinction is made by several of the prominent wine-houses in San Francisco, who are willing to pay an increased percentage for wines from certain vineyards in the same district. We are now enabled to point out with great precision the character of wines which our best-known districts are capable of producing, and there are probably but few wines made in any part of the globe whose general characteristics cannot be produced very closely, in some portion of our State. For instance, Sonoma is best adapted to produce white wines, resembling those of Germany; the upper part of Napa Valley and certain portions of Santa Clara County will make excellent chars; the Sacramento Valley, near the foot of the inclosing hills, is destined to produce our future sweet muscals; El Dorado County is best adapted to the production of a wine resembling the far-famed Burgundy; Solano County produces a wine which is a natural port; San Jonquin and Stanislaus counties give wines which closely resemble both in flavor and taste, the best Madeira, but they have to attain an age of from five to six years before this taste is sufficiently developed; Anaheim and certain portion of Los What is the only drawback to the profession.

[Prolonged laughter.] A genuine down easter was late by essaying to appropriate a square of exceedingly tough beef at dinner in a Wisconsin hotel. His convulsive efforts with a knife and a fork attracted the smiles of the rest in the same predicament as himself. At last Jonathan's patience vanished under ill success, when laying down his utensils, he burst out with. "Strangers, you needn't laugh; if you bain't got any regard for the landlord's feelings, you ought to have some respect for the old bull." This sally brought down the house. A demure looking chap hailed a charcoal peddler with the query, "Have you got charcoal in your wagon?" "Yes, sir," said the expectant driver, stopping his horses. "That's right." observed the demure chap, with an approving nod: "Always tell the truth and people will respect you." and he hurried on, much to the regret of the peddler, who was getting out of the wagon to hunt for a brick. A committee was recently appointed to investigate the excessive chastenment of a pupil in a Michigan public school, and reported that the punishment was not administered by malice but established by an "and/or appreciation of the thinkers of the boy's pastalism." Fasten a nail or key to a string and suspend it from your thumb and finger and the nail will oscillate like a pendulum. Let some one place his opened hand under the nail, and it will change to a circular motion. Then let a third man place his hand upon your shoulder and the nail becomes in a moment stationary. The "why" of this experiment is not known, but it is very rarely a failure.
