PERSONAL. RALPH WALDO EMERSON is announced to lecture in Chicago. VICTOR EMMANUEL is said to speak a patio of Italian. Why did Gothic live in Venice and not in Rome? Because he was Moor at home there. It is understood that ex-Senator Carl Schurz has decided to make New York City his permanent residence. Moody and Sankey began their revival meetings in Philadelphia with an audience of over 6,000. A STATUE to Josiah Quincy, the second Mayor of Boston, and for many years President of Harvard University, is proposed. The Mayor of Omaha, Neb., has sent a barrel of choice Nebraska apples as a present to Mrs. Sartoris, the daughter of President Grant. SEBATOR MORRILL of Vermont has presented a bust of Charles Sumner, by Preston Powers, to the Park Gallery of Art at Burlington in that State. THE Shah of Persia has for his seal the figure of a lion holding a branch in one paw, and with a rising sun visible behind him. PROP. SWING is said by "Burleigh" to be a pleasant preacher, "delicate and dainty, with a flowery style, bordering on the sophomoral." THE RV. CYRUS D. FOSS, D. D., has been inaugurated as President of the Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn. MR. W. P. GILL, of Boston, possesses the original MS. of Poe's poem of "The Bells." The handwriting is very handsome, and clear as print. FORTUNE SNOW, of African descent, at Milan, Ga., is said to be one hundred and twenty-six years old. He was one of Marion's men during the Revolutionary War. MRS. WILLIAMS, formerly the wife of the late Stephen Douglas, has ordered the pictures which her first husband collected in Europe to be sold. They are now being arranged and catalogued. It is stated that M. Renan is engaged upon a new romance. Having exhausted his resources of invention, fancy and imagination upon romances based upon the life of the Savior, he is now trying his hand upon a mere secular novel. John Todd's Reformation. It not unfrequently happens that when prayers, entreaties, and shame, suffering, and degradation have failed to check a man in his down-hill course, some incident seemingly changes the whole current of his life. I have such an incident in mind. You may know my hero as John Todd. A few yet living will know him by another name. John Todd had sunk very low. Once he had been gay, handsome and happy. When he made Mary Somers his wife, there was not a young man in our village whose prospects seemed brighter. But the demon of drink seized him. It was a gradual going down. Wife and children were neglected; true friends were forsaken; the low and the debased were his chosen companions, and poverty and want fell upon his once happy household. For months and years his friends tried to save John Todd. They expostulated, they prayed, they begged, they reasoned, but all to no avail; and at length they gave it up. One night, quivering and shaking, with not a penny in his pocket, John Todd entered his dilapidated home and asked his wife for liquor. She told him there was not a drop in the house. He cursed her savagely and then commenced to search, professing to believe that she had liquor hidden away somewhere. At length, away back on one of the shelves of a small locker over the fireplace he found a bottle the contents of which smelled like rum. As he raised it to his lips his wife, who had been watching him, sprang forward and dashed the bottle from his hand, shivering it upon the hearth. With a fierce oath John Todd smote his wife to the floor, supine upon the broken glass, and then staggered away to his bed. He would not go out again for he had no money. On the following morning his oldest child, a girl of twelve years came to his bedside. "O, papa, do you know what you did last night?" He had a dim recollection, but made no reply. "You knocked mamma down and cut her badly." "Aye, child, she—she" "She saved your life, papa. That was poison in the bottle you were holding to your lips—a most dreadful poison." "Poison, child?" "Yes, don't you remember what grandma sent over for mamma to kill bugs" SAM FRANCIS Since July 1st, 1875 ships to the United States 200,000 centals wheat in round numbers of gaged tonnage is owed to about 17,000 tons; ships now due and client at least to five grain we have to ship shorter have declined of last week; the class grain carriers £3 @ 12s 6d @ £2 15s; market has improved being noted over prince With us the markets—the same rates as grinding writing the market is an upward tendency; wheat, slightly damaged regular rates.

He was one of Marion's men during the Revolutionary War. Mrs. Williams, formerly the wife of the late Stephen Douglas, has ordered the pictures which her first husband collected in Europe to be sold. They are now being arranged and catalogued. It is stated that M. Reman is engaged upon a new romance. Having exhausted his resources of invention, fancy and imagination upon romances based upon the life of the Savior, he is now trying his hand upon a mere secular novel. It ought to be a comfort in these hard times to know that Dr. Linderman, Superintendent of the Mint, estimates the probable yield of the gold and silver mines of this country for 1876 to be $100,000,000—about twice the average yield since 1849. Baron Grant, the new Italian minister to the United States, just arrived, is a healthy bachelor of forty. He has been in the Italian diplomatic service for fifteen years at Madrid, Vicina, and Brussels. He is a favorite of Victor Emanuel, is thoughtful, prudent, and a friend of the Centennial. The genuine old original "Uncle Sam" was Sam Wilson, of Troy, New York, who use to brand his fish barrels, in filling army contracts in 1812, "U. S." to stand, as he said, for Uncle Sam, his sobriquet. A nephew of Uncle Sam, Joseph A. Wilson, has just removed to Newburyport, Massachusetts, after a long life in Troy. Mr. Dishaelli, at the London Lord Mayor's annual dinner last week, said he wished affairs nearer home were as satisfactory as relations with China. In regard to Turkish complications, he said he not merely trusted but had a conviction that a settlement would be effected consistent with the peace of Europe. Still, it was impossible to deny circumstances were critical. To fiddle is becoming the amusement of potentates. The Emperor of Austria drives a pleasant bow, and tells his privy councilors and ministers that such is the best way to while away the fleeting hours. The Duke of Edinburgh is not only a good fiddler, but has some gumption as a composer. He has done a waltz. To hear him saw out old "Rosin the Bow" is said by his friends to be very high fun. Stanley is proving himself the champion explorer. He moves with a rapidity hitherto unknown among the travelers, and keeps himself in intelligent communication with the home world through frequent descriptive letters. He is establishing the results of former discoveries, making new ones, correcting mistakes, being feasted, meanwhile, and entertained by African kings in a style of gorgeous royalty. He is not Livingstone, but in his own way is adding to the interest of Eastern discovery. The Khedive of Egypt has entered upon an unwise undertaking which will get him into trouble, and yield no remuneration—the conquest of Abyssinia. His army of invasion has already entered the Abyssinian Territory,the forces of the native tribes retiring before him. But they will turn upon the invaders at their own chosen place, and give them a proper fight. Should the condition be on the following morning his oldest child,a girl of twelve years came to his bedside. "O,papa,do you know what you did last night?" He had a dim recollection, but made no reply. "You knocked mamma down and cut her badly." "Aye,child,she—she" "She saved your life,papa. That was poison in the bottle you were holding to your lips—a most dreadful poison." "Poison,child?" "Yes,dont you remember what grandma sent over for mamma to kill bugs with? It was corrosive sublimate and alcohol." John Todd sank back upon his pillow and did not get up until noon. When he arose he was very weak and tremulous. He dressed himself and went out into the kitchen, where he saw his wife standing by the fireplace, with a napkin bound around her head. He went to her side,and laid his hand upon her shoulder. She turned and looked into his face,but he did not speak. He only kissed her and then went out. Only kissed her? What did it mean? Mary Todd caught her hands over her heart to crush back the sudden,surging hope. It were madness to hope now.And yet,with the impress of the kiss upon her cheek,and with the memory of the look that had accompanied it,she sank upon her knees and wept and prayed. John Todd went away into the woods,where he wandered until nightfall,and with the last gleam of the setting sun he was upon his knees,his palsied hands reverently folded,speaking a vow to Heaven that his home should be once more happy if he could make it so. Out of the darkness of desolation,even in the midst of ruin,comes the angel of hope and promise to the stricken home.Mary heard and saw,and took heart,and gave her smile and blessing to the work. That was twenty years ago.John Todd has kept the faith from that day to this.His beloved,respected and honored wherever he is known;and a happier woman than his wife is not to be found anywhere. Jonaquin Miller in His Boyhood. [From his recent Lecture in Washington.] When I was about to leave the mountains of Oregon,a few years ago,and try my fortune in the great wide world,as the phrase runs,an old man,sitting on a warm fence one evening,with his buckskin legs hanging down,said to me,very tenderly and wisely: "Joaquin,dont you go;the world's an impostor,and it'll feed you on husks,as it did the prodigal son."But I told him I was resolved to go.Then the old man looked down into the sun that was falling into the Pacific sea like a mighty hemisphere of fire,then up at his flocks of sheep feeding on the hillside,and said,"Wal,Joaquin_if you must go;go但you'll come back some day to the old ranch.You'll be sick of the world and sorry you went,and you won't have no buckskin clothes and you won't have no home.But if you do come back-for you're a good meaning boy,Joaquin—and have no buckskin clothes and no home,you must come to me,and I'll give you a home,and you shall live with me and take care of my sheep at WHEAT.-There be off in receipts,the last ruptured transportation been very active filler Liverpool wheat mill little within the wet pool quotations are 15 ld; Club 11s 2d@ket quotations are at shipping grades,$1 97%@2 00 per cent.

His army of invasion has already entered the Abyssinian Territory, the forces of the native tribes retiring before him. But they will turn upon the invaders at their own chosen place, and give them a severe fight. Should the expedition be fully successful, Abyssinia will be an expensive and worthless possession. That he should turn aside from the work of suppressing the slave-trade and the development of his territory in the equatorial lake region, is much regretted. Mr. Delane has been connected with the London Times for thirty-six years—was only twenty-two years old when he was chosen assistant editor, and at twenty-four became chief editor. The Times, under his direction, speedily became the most powerful newspaper in the world, which position it still holds. The characteristics of its leading editors are severe, dignity, perfect finish and very great intellectual force, and they are often charged with intense feeling and earnestness. The paper, from its dignity and power, won the Jovian title of The Thunderer. Mr. Delane, worn out by his long journalistic labors, has retired, temporarily, perhaps permanently. His place is occupied by Dr. Dasent. When Mr. Dlaraall is at his country-seat at Hughanden he lives almost alone, and his visitors are very law. His time is chiefly spent alone in his study, in the attic of the house. To those who have read in his novels detailed descriptions of gorgeous apartments, it may seem strange that the Premier should be content with the very modest style in which his own library is furnished. It is in the attic, and has nothing in common with the late Lord Lytton's study at Knaworth, or Charles Dickens's library at Godshill. Common deal shelves are filled with miscellaneous books arranged in no particular order. A worn carpet hardly covers the old deal floor; while the desk and writing appliances are of the most ordinary description. Here he passes most of his time, when at Hughanden, in reading and writing, and here he has rehearsed his great speeches. CHARLESTON IN COLONIAL TIMES. In colonial times Charleston was a favorite settlement of the mother country, owing to the value of its exports—indigo, rice, and naval stores. In 1731 forty thousand barrels of rice were exported, and, as it was said, "London and Liverpool looked lovingly on the brisk colony of the Ashley and Cooper." The sons of the wealthier planters were almost universally sent to England to be educated, no other colony in the New World sending so many. Fashions were brought over for the wives and daughters; Madeira wine, punch, tea, coffee, and chocolate were in common use; and four-horse coaches rolled up to the doors of the little churches, now almost lost in a second growth of wild forest. Outdoor sports were much affected by the plankers, who kept fine horses and dogs, and hunted over the country in English style, although on a larger scale than was possible in that well-bounded, well-melted-out island. They killed foxes, deer, and bears, and now and then an Indian for the forests were still full of the red skinned foxes—Convance P. Woolson, in Harper's Magazine for December. WOOL.

Since July 14, 1875, we have dispatched 20 ships to the United Kingdom, loaded with 3,000,000 cents of wheat and flour having a value in round numbers of $7,000,000. The discharged tonnage in our harbor at date amounts to about 17,000 tons, with a large number of ships now due, and daily arriving—efficient at least to transport all the surplus grain we have to share this season. Rates of charter have declined slightly from quantities of last week, the present rate for first-class grain carriers to a port district being £2 @ 12s 6d @ 23lbs. The Liverpool wheat market has improved in tone, a slight advance being noted over prices quoted in our last. With us the market is quite active, as about the same rates as given last week. At this writing the market is firm and strong, with an upward tendency. We note large rates of wheat, slightly damaged, at a concordant from regular rates. Choice milling continues scarce, and extreme rates are paid by our millers. Flour continues in fair demand in superfine and extra superfine grades for export; but extra brands of Family are in brief demand for home consumption, at unchanged rates. Barley is still coming forward freely—but the market is weak, with moderate transactions noted at declining rates. Oats continue in fair demand and prices are well maintained. Oregon is sending down large quantities, which find a ready market. Bye is in moderate demand; prices unchanged. Corn is in moderate supply—the demand is fair, and shade a shade harder. Beans are in large stock and prices for all except "butter" rule very low. There is a steady fair demand for all the varieties. The fall clip of wool has been nearly all worked off. The prices obtained for the bulk of the clip have been low, but as the quality has been exceedingly poor producers rest satisfied with the result. We have no change to note in prices; nearly all the daily receipts finding ready purchasers at current rates. Potatoes are in fair supply and with an active demand prices have advanced and are firm at the close. Onions are in better demand, at advanced prices, stock being reduced. Dairy produce of all descriptions is scarce and in good demand and unusually high prices have been obtainable during the whole of the past season. Fruit of choice quality is quite scarce, and readily brings high prices for all varieties. WHEAT.—There has been a large falling off in receipts, the late storms having interrupted transportation. Buyers for export have been very active filling orders. Prices at the Liverpool wheat market have changed but little within the week. The latest Liverpool quotations are for average 10s 10d@11s 1d; Club 11s 2d@11s 7d. Our present market quotations are as follows: Fair to good shipping grades, $19½@19¢; choice milling, $197½@20 per cental. FLOUR.—The demand continues good. Prices are steady and firm at our quotations. Sales for export have been moderate, but the home demand continues active, and all the mills are quite busy. We quote country brands of superfine as selling within the range of $4 25@50; standard brands, $4 75½@50; extra superfine, $5 25@50. FOR THE BLOOD IN THE AGE. Our Dentistry clinic: 28. This blood using the source from which the system is built up and from which we derive our dental as well as physiological conditions is important than it should be kept pure. If it contains white fermenting poisons, all organic functions become established. Stelling more important organs at the large liver, liver and kidney, the effect is most difficult. Begins it behaves all to large parts blood in a suddenly healthy condition and more precisely this applies to every period of the year thus plausibly. To matter what the exciting cause may be, the real name of a large proportion of all diseases is not bred. Near J.M.D., does not wish to place his Golden Million Discovery in the catalogue of quick-patient mixtures, by recommending it to cure every disease, nor does he recommend it as the contrary, there are hundreds of diseases that his acknowledges will not cure; but what he does claim is this, that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most searching blood-cleaner yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other blood-polens, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden Medical Discovery is warranted by him to cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches, Pimples, and Eruptions; also all Glandular Swellings, and the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcerated Sores of the Neck, Legs, or other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases of the Bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip-joint and Spinal Diseases,—all of which belong to Scrofulous diseases. CONFIRMED—HIP-JOINT DISEASE CURED. W. Grove Station, Iowa. Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N.Y.: My wife first became lame nine years ago. Swellings would appear and disappear on her hip, and she was gradually becoming reduced, and her whole system rotten with disease. In 1871, a swelling broke on her hip, discharging large quantities, and since that time there are several openings. Have had five doctors, at an expense of $125 who say nothing will do any good but a surgical operation. July 16, 1873, be writes thus: My wife has certainly received a great benefit from the use of your Discovery, for she was not able to get off the bed and was not expected to live a week when she commenced using it a year ago. She has been doing most of her work for over six months. Has used twenty bottles, and still using it. Her recovery is considered as almost a miracle, and we attribute it all to the use of your valuable medicine. I can cheerfully recommend it is a blood-purifier and strength-restorer. J.M.ROBINSON. Golden Medical Discovery is sold by Druggists. Pumps and Wind-Mills. We hope our readers will improve the usual visit to San Francisco during the holidays, to visit the Pump and Wind-Mills depot of C.P.Hoag, 118 Beale street, where they will be able to inspect and become acquainted with the wonderful improvements that have been WHEAT.—There has been a large falling off in receipts, the late storms having interrupted transportation.

I can cheerfully recommend it is a blood-purifier and strength-restorer. J.M.ROBINSON. Golden Medical Discovery is sold by Druggists. Pumps and Wind-Mills. We hope our readers will improve the usual visit to San Francisco during the holidays, to visit the Pump and Wind-Mills depot of C.P.Hoag, 118 Beale street, where they will be able to inspect and become acquainted with the wonderful improvements that have been made within the last few years in water raising machinery. Mr.Hoag is general agent for the Trahern Metal Pump—a by competent judges to be the best in the market. We will mention a few points of its superiority. Every pump cylinder is first bored perfectly true and then polished. All valves and packings are made of the best selected leather. Every pump-top is well braced, and to prevent freezing, the pipe is connected with all of our deep-well standards, near the spout; levers long to insure ease of working. They are so constructed as to cause little or no friction; consequently will not be liable to get out of order, and last but not least, it is warranted for one year, and is the cheapest pump in the market. The Improved Eclipse Wind-Mill is just what is needed by the farmer. Among its improvements upon the old style of mills is the wrought-iron tail bar, which supports the rudder, or tall. This is very important, as the tall is very light, and cannot be affected by the action of the weather. The Mill rests upon four iron buttons, which has no friction, and need no oiling. In short this Mill is the one you want, and to be appreciated, must be seen, and we advise our readers to see it before purchasing. The Steam Pump Contest. The Wilcox pump, a California invention, carried off the nest prize at the test of steam pumps at the Mechanics' Pavilion, which was concluded on Friday evening.
