Story cf an Sbgrgclic! Womnn. The New York correspondent of the Doylextoum- Intelligencer write s Perhaps the citizens of your county will be inter ested in soma account of Miss King our new Ameriotm tea importer and her adventurous trip to the Celestial Empire some fifteen months ago. It will be remembered the metropolitan press announced the departure of a sin gle lady, who had just started on a busi ness mission to China. From the first the enterprise was made piquantly in teresting by a sort of mystery regarding . her plans and Ultimate designs. It was known that she was going alone, and that she was going for tea ; it was even intimated that this first bold step would prove but the initiative in a grand com mercial experiment, but beyond that the community was kept most provokingly in the dark. The lady said her fare wells and took up her journey, while people pondered in amazement over the novel expedition. . A year and .three months have passed, and she is again among us, after a most interesting ex cursion aronnd the world. And now, since the trip was a successful one, the result of which enables the original pro jeot to be put into execution, the ban of secrecy-is -removed, the history-of the whole enterprise is laid bare, and ap proving listeners are called upon to ap plaud this noble effort on the part of one woman to open up a freBh avenue of commerce for the benefit of her sex. The name of Susan King is widely known throughout the city. She is now a rich woman, but when she came here, many years ago, she brought only a gui tar in her hand and twenty-five cents in her pocket. Tet even at that early age her remarkable enterprise was apparent She put up at the best hotel the city then boasted of, and started out at once in search of music scholars, so represent ing her case to the families called upon, that within twenty-four hours she had engaged her class, received payment in advance, and returned to her hotel in a carriage with forty-six dollars in her pocket. The best points in the under taking, however, remain to be told. Though representing herself as a profes sor of music, and the originator of a spe cial theory of instruction, she had in fact so limited a knowledge of the science as to be obliged to hire a teacher to carry out her plans, and was the first, as well as the last, to institute a method of mu sical instruction by proxy. This little incident will convey an idea of the pe culiar character of the woman. Her fifty years of active life have been spent in money making. Business is her spe cialty. She has dealt largely in real es tate and is now a millionaire. The en terprise which promises to lend new lus tre to her name found its projector in Madame Demorest of fashion celebrity. On the suggestion of Miss King this lady conceived the idea of putting her friend's money to a good use. Many things were thought of and talked of, but as readily disposed of because of their impracticability. The question, " What would furnish piofitable employ ment to the greatest number of wo men V" was repeated over and over again, and finally found its solution in a most fi-ininine way at the bottom of a good cup of tea. The decision was arrived at on Thursday ot one week and by Mon day of the next Mis King had taken out her letters of craiit, bought ten thou sand dollars' worth of gold for travel ling expenses, and set out on her soli tary way. Arrived at San Francisco, she spent a few weeks there in learning what she could of the country for which she was bound, and then set sail for Yokohama. Her letters of introduction carried her, of course, into the highest circles of English-speaking Japan. She at once en tered the home of Sir Harry Parks, the British minister, who, with his wife, ex- Sressed the most cordial sympathy with er undertaking, and offered to do ev erything in his power to assist her. Sit Harry offered her a military esoort of two hundred men in her journey through the interior of the country, but refusing all guardianship or protection she took her sedan chair and ooolie servants, and went forth alone. As ignorant of the topography as of the language ot the ' country,her situation would seem to pic ture itself a decidedly embarrassing one ; but the woman who had baffled poverty and overcome the hardships of younger days, was not to be daunted now. She quickly perceived that to assimilate her self to the natives was her safest method of procedure. To be sure fish oil and rats were not the most tempting articles of food, nor did a seat on the floor with chop-sticks in hand, suggest very much of the refinement of home ; yet all of these became possible in time, and as a consequence she was permitted to pene trate regions never before trodden by stranger feet In many places this ven turesome woman was received as a di vine impersonation. They worshipped . her, they offered her every honor con ceivable to their bewildered minds, and followed her through the streets of their cities in such dense throngs that Bhe was once or twice obliged to implore the in terference of the magistrate to prevent her from suffocation. Presents and gor geous entertainments were forced upon Her at every stopping place. In short, she became the object of universal in terest and admiration. - Herself an ad venturer and seeker after curiosities, she became the most curious of all, and for once, at least, since the days of Confu cius, a woman succeeded in awakening the profound attention of the Celestials. The tomb of Confucius, by the way, was a most interesting point in Miss King's pilgrimage. But the chief object of this mission is not to be lost sight of. The purchase of teas began with the earliest opportunity, and continued until she finally embarked on her homeward voy age, by the Cape of Qood Hope and At lantic Ocean. Besides making arrange ments for a supply of any amount of the best quality that is grown, she has plant ed a " grove " of her own, from which she expects, in four years to get her first crop. Meanwhile she has brought with her seventeen tons of samples. "The Woman's American Tea Company" is fast getting into shape. ' A warehouse.to be located on Broadway, between Tenth and Twenty-third streets, is being nego tiated for, and in the course of two or three mouths this establishment will open its doors to a host of enterprising women. It is designed to employ a corps of travelling agents at a generous salary, while it is presumed that the trade of the city will require a goodly number of employees, every one ox wnom is w do a woman. .Projected, nurtured, and car ried out solely by the fair sex, it is pro posed to make this enterprise in every sense a fair ene. Fair salesmen, fair tea, and fair prices : the very best the tuar . ket affords, pure and unadulterated, at f i.ou per pound. There are 908 agricultural societies in frusaia. Advice to Writers. " Oris " gives the following truly phi losophic advice to people who have an inkling for the pen : I received the other day the following note of inquiry : Dint Sia : I think I have got a tnllunt Into me to write. I want to try it, but don't know bow to begin. Yn, I no, hev had speri anse. Will yn plose write and give me In for maahnn on the following pints, two wit, namely What to lite on. Whentorite. Where to write. How to rite. How mnch to rite. What to rite for. ' ' With any other hint on the subject that may occur to you. Your truly, . . AyntsnuN. I am always gratified to be able to im part any information in my power to one about to begin to write, although be may never begin to write with me. Struggling genius I am prone to encour age. I am not like some in the profes sion who keep all they know about writing so closely to themselves that poor people would not suspect they knew anything about it As far as writing is concerned, chirographic pugilist that I am, I always stand ready to "let go my write." " What I write on." I generally write on a table or desk. I prefer a desk when I want to desk-ant profoundly. Some of my desk-antics are fearfully and won derfully made. Don't try to write on a multiplication table, unless you are a complete master of figures, especially figures of speech. I have frequently written on my knees, but I am aware that many people have a repugnance to getting on their knees, either to write, or to do anything else. There may be occasions when you will be compelled to write on the top of your hat, but it hurts one's (s)tyle to do it habitually. Literary men often affect eccentrici ties regarding what they write on. Shel ley, I believe, wrote his " Shelf(ie)s of Ocean" on his thumb nail. Byron wrote on gin, and Edgar A. Poe wrote on a drunk. - " When to rite." Write when you feel like it, but be sure you feel like it Some people think they feel like it when they dont, which produces a good deal of suf fering among readers. I would lay it down as a general rule for young men of " ambition like yours, when you can't find any employment that will pay for your salt, then write. " Where to rite." That depends a good deal on where she is. If she is in Chica go, it would be manifestly absurd to write to Montreal. " How to rite." Is it possible that in this land of common schools there is any young man who doesn't know bow to write ' You should consult a writing master and not me. A Clergyman's Workshop. A correspondent of the Commercial Ad terlUer gives this description of the workshop of the Bev. John Todd, of Pittsfield, Mass. : In one room a well-stocked library with rare books, ancient and modern, in different languages. In the centre of the room is a rippling fountain, and ar ticles of beauty from kindly donors, with relics of the war. In this study the hand of the owner is seen in elegant book cases made by himself, beautiful picture frames from his own workshop, and little adornments turned from his own lathe to adorn a room where so many hours of brain work are expended. Directly opposite is another room ot entirely different character. Here is the veritable " Congregationdiet lathe" pro curedtroni the proceeds of his contribu tions to that paper, and so most aptly named, while another lathe, of great value, elegant and beautiful, is greatly prized by the owner, who points out its various graces with the enthusiasm of a collector of gems. Here is a collection of saws and screws, and clamps and planes, and vices and gouges, and man drels, and other tools, that would con fuse any but a born mechanician, while shelves of acids and chemicals for polishing, with delicate anvils and tools of great variety, are kept in perfect or der. One of the lathes appliances per forms two thousand revolutions in a minute, and is as delicate and graceful in its movements as the sweep of a bird through the air. If a tool is wanted for special use, the fertile brain of the Doc tor invents it, and his skilled hand brings it out of the rudest elements. tie Has a great variety of beauntul woods from different parts of the world, and a steam engine so petite and fairy like as to call forth commendations from the dullest looker on. Everything is arranged so systematically that the own er could put his hand on any one of over a thousand tools in the dark. A Million Strokes la a Month. A wager lately came off, the terms of which were as follows : " X will bet any man 100 that be cannot make a million strokes with pen and ink within a month." They were not to be mere dots and scratches, but fair down strokes, such as form the child's first lesson in writing. A gentleman accepted the challenge. The month allowed was the lunar month of only twnty-eieht days, 10 that for the completion of the under taking, an average of 36,000 strokes per diem was required. This at bU per min ute, or 3,600 per hour and neither tne human intellect nor the human hand can be expeoted to do more would call for ten hours' labor in every twenty, four. With a proper respect for the Sabbath, the gentleman determined to abstain from his work on Sundays, and by this determination diminished by four days the period allowed him ; at the same time, by so doing, he increased the dailv average of his strokes to upward of 41.000. On the first day he executed 50,000; on the second day nearly as many. But at length, after many days, his hand became stiff and weary, the wrist swollen, and, without interrupting its progress over the paper, it required the almost constant attendance of some friend to besprinkle it with a lotion cal culated to relieve and invigorate it On the twenty-third day the million strokes, exceeded by some tew thousands, " to make assurance doubly sure,'1 were accomplished. These interesting papers are not placed in the archives of the Royal Society, of which the gentleman is a Fellow, but were claimed and re ceived by the person who paid the wa ger. London Paper. Tub Bible in Chinese. The Chineu Recorder- says that the Committee of Protestant - Missionaries at Pekin, who have for some time been engaged in pre paring a revised edition of the Bible in Chinese, have nearly completed their labors, and that the revised text will shortly be published by the Amerioan Mission press, within the walls of the capital. Twcntj.two Years In PrlBon. A publishing bouse in Vienna bas just issued a curiously interesting volume the story of Leonora Christina, Countess Ulfeldt, who endured imprisonment for twenty-two years. The Countess gives her own narrative in the form of a diary, and it is now published for the first time, with an introduction by Herr Ziegler, the editor of the volume. The events desoribed took place nearly two centuries ago, but they nave never been fully known till now. The long captivi ty of tho Countess, it appears, was owing to the personal spite of Sophia Amelia, the wife of Frederick the Third, King of Denmark. Whether it be that this Queen envied the beauty and ac complishments of the Countess Ulfeldt, and her husband's influence with the King, or that the Countess Ulfeldt, as a Danish historian states, had offended the Queen by trying on the crown that was being made for ber, and letting it fall on the floor so that one of the large jewels was broken, the conduct of the Queen can bear but one interpretation. The Danish historian who records the auecdote about the crown, says that it shows the Queen was not so bitter against the Countess without a cause, although it must be admitted that her anger was carried too far. The rage of the Queen when she found that her son bad promised to set the Countess free after only eight years' imprisonment, and the exercise of her influence, by which she was able to prolong the im prisonment till her own death, betray the existence of some personal motive. The Countess Leonora was one of the daughters of Christian the Fourth, King of Denmark, by a morganatio marriage. She became the wife of Corfitz Ulfeldt who, after a stormy youth, passed in various countries and services, had taken a high position at the Danish Court The prosperity of Ulfeldt and his wife was not disturbed for some time after the accession of Frederick the Third. But though the new King had full con fidence in the former favorite, the new Queen began from the first to intrigue against him. The Athenceum sums up the narrative thus : A plot was organ ized by her means in order to accuse Corfitz and his wife of intending to poison the King, and though the accusa tion recoiled on the heads of the sub ordinate instruments, some suspicion re mained. The King was 'gradually es tranged from Corfitz Ulfeldt, one dif ference led to another, and at length Ulfeldt resigned his offices and left the country. His estates were at once con fiscated, and he was deprived of all his dignities ; while in revenge for such treatment be went to Stockholm, where bis services were gladly accepted by Queen Christina. For some time after this Corfitz Ul feldt proved a dangerous enemy to Den- marc. At nis instigation ina. successor of Queen Christina made war on Den mark, and the daring march of the Swedes on the ice across the Oreat Belt, which led to the Peace of Boeskilde, was entirely suggested by Ulfeldt. By this peace the Danes had to surrender twelve ships of war, besides several pieces of territory, and one of the articles of the treaty was, that all Count Ulfeldt's estates were to be restored. The victory, however, bore no lasting fruits. The Danes were naturally incensed witb Ulfeldt, and Queen Sophia Amelia man aged to instil suspicion into the mind of the King of Sweden. Some time afterward charges of treach ery were brought against him by the -i i i j r i. oweues, ne was connneu m b lurtreaa, and tried for high treason. Acquitted of this, be was secretly informed by bis Danish enemies that the verdict was ad verse to him, and under this impression he flsd from Sweden to Denmark, where he and his wife were instantly imprison ed. The amnesty granted them at Boeskilde was set at naught, and it was not till after six months of cruel and brutal treatment that they regained their liberty by an absolute submission. Released from prison with the loss of most of his estates, and with enfeebled health, Count Ulfeldt received permis sion to travel in Germany, where he died. Leonora Christina in the meanwhile had been sent by ber husband to Eng land to seek for aid from Charles the Second. During his own exile the re stored King had been under great obli gations to Count Ulfeldt, and was still indebted to him in a large sum of money. But it was not easy to get at Charles ; and although when the Countess Ul feldt had an interview with him he was very friendly, and promised to pay his debt he did not keep his word. After waiting a long time without any result the Countess started for the Continent, but before this the Danish Qovernment had heard of her being in England, and had made application to Charles for her arrest As this seemed the most convenient way of paying his debt, and as, more over, he bad given the Countess a safe conduct, Charles got rid at once of his obligation and his promise, and allowed the Danish Ambassador to take her in custody. She was sent to Copenhagen, and confined in the blue tower of the royal palace, where she remained for twenty-two years. With this her diary begins, and is continued through her cantivitv. It is remarkable for the minute detail in which all the events of daily life are narrated, and for the ex treme frankess with' which a Countess and daughter of a King enters into mat ters which are generally kept secret. The insults to which Countess Ulfeldt was exposed, the occupations she de vised for herself, her relations with those who waited on her, her occasional peeps from the window, and her vague im pressions of what was passing in the outer world, ocoupy almost the whole record. Veey Personal. A correspondent of the Tribune writes from Chicago that any man in that queer town who has confidence in his luck begins to build his tower without counting the cost, and trusts to his luck to help him through. The enterprises succeed in nine cases out of ten, and this is the style of the local talk : " Where did Brown get his last loan ? I see he's at work again." " He got hold of some Down-Easter or other." " Jones is all right with bis block. He's a man that knows how to shin when he's short. He can get money, sir, if it's anywhere on this planet" A Turkish Bath Story. A Wis consin paper, the Oshkosh Northwestern, says: "A gentleman from near Stevens Point Ole O. Wogaland, whose weight was 300 pounds, and a lady residing in Oshkosh, Mrs. Dougherty, who bas been reduced by disease and drugs to less than fifty pounds in weight, are both taking Turkish baths in this city. The gentle man is being reduced at the rate of one pound per day, and the lady increased at the same rate. IIow to Enjoy Good Health Unit a Long Life. To secure a clear, fresh skin, bright eye, active limbs, a quick brain, and a cheerful, pleasant temper, and if yon would enjoy a long life, you should live about as follows t BREAKFAST. Oat meal porridge, with milk and sugar. i Or, Graham, mush, with a little good syrup, t Or, cracked wheat, with milk and sugar. V ' Or, baked potatoes, with bread and butter. v Or, beef steak or mutton chop, with baked potatoes and bread and butter. If you are thin, and need fat, use the first three ; if you are too fat; use the last-named two. t Drink cold water, or 'a little weak coffee. i DINNER. ,.! Beef or mutton, roasted or stewed, with any vegetables you may like (though tomatoes should be used very sparingly), good bread and butter, and close the meal with a glass of weak lemonade. Eat no dessert, unless it be a little fruit, and eat nothing more till the next morning. There is no rule in regard to diet about which . I am so fixed in my con viotions as that nothing should be eaten after dinner, and I think that the dinner should be taken early in the day ; not later, if it can be so managed, than two o'clock. In regard to the precise hour for the dinner, I am not so clear, though for myself one o'clock is the best hour ; but in reference to the omission of the third meal, I have, after long observa tion, no doubt whatever. Hundreds of persons have come to me with indigestion in some of its many forms, and have experienced such relief in a single week from omitting the sup per, that I have, for a number of years, depended upon this point in the diet as the best item in my prescriptions for in digestion. I have never met the person suffering from indigestion, who was not greatly relieved at once, by omitting the third meal. Eat nothing between meals, not even an apple or peach. If you eat fruit, let it be with the breakfast and dinner. Cooked fruit is best for persons of weak digestion. I have met hundreds of people who would digest a large beef steak without a pang, but who could not manage a single uncooked apple. I think certain dietetic reformers have somewhat overrated the value of fruit Avoid cake, pie, all sweetmeats, nuts, raisins, and candies. Manage your stomach as above, and at the end of ten years you will look back upon these table habits as the source of great advantages and happi ness. For thirty years I have been a con stant and careful observer (I have no hobbies about diet), and in the light of my own experience and these long ob servations, 1 assure you that the table habits I have advised, are vital to your health and happiness. Pimples, blotches, yellow spots, nasal catarrh, biliousness, liver torpidity, con stipation, sleepiness, dullness, low spirits, and many other common affections would generally disappear with the adoption of these rules. Dio Lewis, in " Our UirU." English Synonyms. The copiousness of the Englisb tongue, as well as the dimuulty of acquiring the ability to use its immense vocabulary correctly, is well exhibited in the follow ing array of synonymous words ; which, if not new, is yet a capital illustration of the nice distinctions which cbaracter- so many ot our vocaoies. xi is no wonder that we slip occasionally, even the wariest of us. A little girl was looking at the picture ofa number of ships, when she exclaimed, "See. what a nock of ships r we cor rected her by saying that a flock of ships is called a fleet, and that a fleet of sheep is called a flock.

American Educational, Monthly. Travelling Stones. Many of our readers have doubtless beard of the famous travelling stones of Australia. Similar curiosities have re cently been fouud in Nevada, which are described as almost perfectly round, tne majority of them as large as a walnut, and of an irony nature, wnendistribut ed about upon the floor, table, or other levelurtace, within two or three feet of each other, they immediately begun travelling toward a common centre, and there huddled up in a bunch like a lot of eggs in a nest. A single stone, re moved to the distanoe of three and a half feet, upon being released at once started off, with wonderful and somewhat comi cat celerity, to join its fellows; taken away four or five feet, it remained mo tionless. I hey are found in a region that is comparatively level, and is notn ing but bare rook. Scattered over this barren region are little basins, from few feet to a rod or two in diameter,and, it is in the bottom of these that tha roll' ing stones are found. . They are from the size of a pea to five or six inches in diameter. The cause of these stones roll ing together is doubtless to be fouud in the material of which they are com posed, which appears to be loadstone or uiaguetio iron ore. Mrs. Lucinda H. Stone, of Michigan who is travelling in Europe with twenty six young ladies, likes the women who act as head clerks in the Irish hotels. They are obliging and faithful, and do not part tneir hair behind. FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. Dander or Raising Fast Horses The Rural New Yorker states the follow ing case, to enforce some sensible advice to farmers, suggested, wi presume, by the display of horses, which is fast be coming the most attractive feature of our agricultural shows : . ... . w A weu-to-ao tarmer oi our acquaint' ance had the misfortune to war a really xj i. irk. w k 1 i una uujso. xuw ul i no nmuiai i gave him great delight, and nothing would do but an exhibition of him among the professionals.

To read the many L statements in the horticultural journals aB to the variety of pears worthy of cul tivation, many would be led to believe that it makes but little difference what kind of pears are planted, as they are all equally good, equally productive and equally hardy. We are well aware that some varieties will do much better in one location and one particular kind of soil than in another ; but the sweeping way in which some writers speak of the good quality of the most ordinary pears, is enough to mislead and disappoint those who look to our standard publications for practical information. The truth is there are very few good varieties that can be successfully cultivated every where. A number of years ago we set out some .trees specially recommended by one of our best authorities, and they have proved next to worthless. Among theBe we can enumerate Clairgeau, Hen ry IV., Nova Poiteau, Washington, Louise Bonne de Jersey, Vicar of Wink- field. Triomphe de lodoigne, Uucness Angonleme, JNirgalien, Winter JNeiis, Marie Ixiuise, Paradise d Automne, to gether with several other kinds which proved to be not true to name and were unknown to horticulturists. It is much better for those setting out fruit trees to select only a few varieties, and those nown to suit the locality, as well as hardy and productive, and of the most desirable quality.
