THE CRAFT, l yiich is very staunch and pretty, painted a bril- Yz white, displayed tho English aud Canadian plors, but did ot show & single inch of Ameri~ yobunting, which, to_sey tho least of it, was yerdly in good taste. Lord Dufferin has recent- 1 been making & voyage of the lakes. especially & upper waters of ‘Superior, aud thus, in e messure, sccounts for his presence in Chicsge. Some days ago, the Viceroy sent a 2 to Mayor Colvin, aunouncinghis inton- tion of visitiog Chicago, a place he much desired gowea. The Msyor sent a communication to the Common Councd last Monday evening, roquest- iog thst that body shomid vote the hospitalities of the city to the distinguished isitor,—the Queen of England's Lord Lieutenant and Goy- sporleversl of Canada,—which shat body pat obsequiously did. The members of the & Apdrew’s and St. George's Becieties sec- cded the efforts of the Mayor. It was resolved Rappoint A RECEPTION COMMITTEE fomthe Council, and eight Aldermen wero wiected for such sorvice, the President bewy sleequently tacked on. Thia Committee, in sojuaction. with the Committee of Arraoge- ments, composed for the most part of nnnata- lired Americans,—in otber words, of **British savjects,” went to work to give Lord Dufferin an oration. They resolved to take him around the div, show bim the Water-Works, and the burnt duetrict, and feast his eyes on the romautic wind- izz6 nd Alpine scencry of tho Calumet River. To cspturo & Lord-Ljeutenant and Governor- Qezersl of Canads was mot an every- tay occarrence ; to shake hands with a lord, and Eriok wise with hitn, was ecatasy divine to Alder~ men. ‘Lherefore they proceeded to have a grand gloncation, such as would dehght their hearts ! Yad dutinguish their names forever more, d NEVEB DID BLUSHING BELDE it with mure nervous expeciation the advent af ber chosen one than dia the Clucago Alder- men the adveat of Lord Dufferin. The coming of the prophets of old to the faithful was not more clieeiug than the coming of this potent Earl among the patriarchs of this municipality.

He &peans to be popular in Canada, and is reported e of most unassuming aud emiable manoers. 1 Dufferin is a man of observation, and loves % udy nature—human, vegetsble or mineral.

Gentlemen, anything we can_do to make your sisit pleasant and agreeable we shall certainly do with the greatest pleasure, . LORD DUFFERIN, who spoke extemporaneously and finently, re- plied i the following terms : AT, MAYOR AXD GENTLEMES : When it was origin- ally suggested 1o me that I ehould put in at Chicigo during the courie of my cruise round these mognifi- cent lukes, which are the just pride of Cansda snd of the Tnited Statcs, it never occurred to mo that I would land upon your wiarves in any other capcity than that of & private individual seeking to obtain fu- formation and pleasure from & visit to one of tho flourishing cities of the United States, I have, there— fore, boen quite taken by surprise by the kindugss and consideration which have prompted 8o maguificent & reception a8 tnat with which you have honored the Countess of Dutferin and myself. I ¢an assure you I am deeply touched by the exhibition of so much friendly feeling ; but whut I have experienced only realizes u truth with which wus already familiar—that it an Eoglishman wishes to understand what 15 the nature of real and cordial hos- pitality, he canuot come to 3 bettor placs to tind that informition than in the United States. Of courso it is necdless for me to sssure you that with us in Eng- 1and Chicago has aimost become a housekold word. Not mercly in_consequeace of the terrible calamity which & few years since overwhelmed it, and in which it s also needles to assure you that the people of Eug- land sympathized with you, but us the city which per- hiaps of all others best represented the maguificent de- velopment which it wus porsible for Luwun indus- try directed by human inteilizence to create upon a comparatively uno. ~upied goil. Tam told ihat it wus—I regret to sy ft—during the period of my own life that Chicsgo received its first charter of incorporation, and in paseing through your s that intedigence hud Leen st uthority, I would scarcely pres its correctness. 1 have been v interested by the account with which you, Alr, Masor, have favored me, of the pature of those municipal institutions under which theso marvels have Leen accomplished. And it is & prida to me to think that the secret of municipal gov- ernment, which 18 one of the great safeguards of freo- dom, which originally was the fountain of political freedom, should huve uequired 8o successful o develop- ment in this country. In Canada we are happily ablo to point to similar jnstitutions. I confess there is Do chiracteristic in the aocial znd political institutions of Canads which I regard with great admiration, or which I think is more likely to secure tho good gov- ernment of the people at large, than the very great ox- tent to which tlio principles of municipsi government have been applied throughout the length und breadth of the Daminion, 1t is withs the greatest interest that T look forward to the pleasuren to whick you bave alluded, of not only pussing through your Magnificent streets, but of visiting your institutions and other points of interest which you, her Mayor, have named. Idow'tiuow whether it may be known to aay geutieman present, but at all events it will not bo an unpleasant anecdote which X will now tell you. A great Englieh statesman, & perscnal friend of my own, and, what is of more fm- portance, a constant fricnd of America during every phase of her pational history—John Dright [ap- plause]—declared be would mke it a test of good educstion for the rising geueration as to whether thoy posscssed accurats kuowledge in regard to the condition of Chicago, [Laughter and applause.] That was crucial test which, he said, ho would ap- iy to all candidutes for office, and that his_opinion of their capacity would be considerably influenced by their ability to aford this information. Probably no other city has ever had 60 great & compliment paid it by » distinguished statesman, In conclusion, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, T can only thank you from tho bottom of my heart, both on be- half of Lady Dutferin and on behalf of ' those who are my fellow-travelers and fellow-visitors, for the ex- treme courteousness and thoughtful consideration wath which it has pleased you to welcome us to Chi~ cago. [Applsure.] MB. GEORGE Y. HOW, President of the Chicago Board of Trade, fol- lowed in a brief and business-like epeech, in the course of which he courteously sliuded to the pleasant commercial relations _existing bo- tween this city and the Dominion of Canada. He hoped that such friendly re- relations might long continue, and that the com- merce of the Northwest and the Dominion might march on the path of prospeiity in honorable emulation. [Applanse.] He had the honor, as President of the Chicago Roard of Trade, to in- vito Lord Dufferia and party o visit the hsll of that body whenever it might suit their conven- ience. Lord Dufferin briefly acknowledged the courtesy of the President of the Board, and said that it would afford him great pleasure to accept his invitation. He had long desired to visit 8o important a centre of commerce as the Chicago Board of Trade. [Applause.] i Monday noon was fized for the visit of the istingnished parts. GOY. BEVERIDGE. _ His Excellency, Jobn L. Boveridge, Governor of Illivois, on bebalf of the State, welcomed Lord Dufferin to the brosd prairies, and Loped that he would not leave Illinois without epending 2 day smid the vast plains that were theseat of 80 ‘much sgricalrural wealth snd magpificence. He was sure that the people of Illinois would give & hearty reception to their distivguished visitors, and, in conclusion, he reiterated his invitation. The Viceroy gracefully acknowledged the Governor's bospitable offer,and said that it would afford him much pleasure to spend & day in the manner indicated. He would endeavor to devote Tuesday to that purpose, if nothing unexpected intervened. 8T. GEOEGE'S SOCIETY. Mr. George E.

The return of James Russcll Lowell reminds me of an incident which occurred at bis bouse in Cambridge before his last trip abroad, and which illustrates the peculiarity of English manners. A Britou of distinction was dining with bim, and as soon 28 tho fizst course was disposed of, Lowell had bis_guast's gluss flled with sherry. Observing that he did not touch it, the poet in- quired: ‘“Don't you drink wiue 7" 4] don't like sherry,” bluntly replied the En- glishman. Tho host, blushing for his guest, ordered the sorvant to bring o bottle of champague. That ‘was 88 much m.\ilectodm the sherry, and the en- tertainer remarked: * You will find the cham- pague quite good, 1 think.” # Dou't care for champagne,” turned like & bullet from s gun.

It is doubtless true that the American people are sin- gularly free from giuttoning in all 1ts phases, their business habits aud general elevation of charactor above pursuits utterly unintellectual in their nature not favoring the growth of Vitel- lian tendeney. Still the good livers have their represontatives hore a8 elsowhers, and their peculiar demands find ready supplies. TIHERE 14 ONE SAD FACT in conncotion with the career of a gastronome which is the decline in later years of the appe- tite. The tenderloin, which, even in the middle age, could call fortls an appetite, fails to create the devired longing, as the epicuro’s days draw near to their close, and the neccesity of an appe- tizing stimulant is required. The failh of many blase gastronomes is firmly rooted on the bitter Hostetter or the rublcund cocktail a8 s. means of creating appetite, but, io a temperate andcrusad- ing country like thiy, less heady stimuilants are in favor, and Lence arises the popularil.y of SAUCES AND PICKLES, especinlly of tho lattor. Abroad Arnerica is knowu a8 a hiberty-loving country, at home stie dotes upon pickles, Every bousswifo in Ameri- ¢a who bas, or hopes to have, any fame as & Lousewife puts by at the proper senisoos her store of pickles aud ketchups to sct a3 sots—off to the monotony of the comibg winier. The prear desideratum of such whon they emn operations s good vinegal. This fiwd 18 tho back-bone of all ap- izing condiments. The piqnancy of the spices used in sauces, the flavor and crispnesa of the vegetablvs used as pickles, would bis as noth- ing wero it not for the essential’adjunct vinegar, The housewife is well aware of the ne«:essity of not oauly getting vinexar, but also of getting ©ood vinegar, sud covscqueudy at the proper teason she makes hor purchase of thiis article with due cars and circumspection, and, «>f course, decides that for the assurance of a go od article she must procare one which was mi.de some goodly dintance away from home. Vinegar is like a propuet, it bas no bonor in its own land. ‘With & view of testing whether or not Chicago was in the habit of making good vinegar, or whether that made elsewhera cast the home pro- duct utterly in the shade, a Trmsuxa: reporter was detailed yesterday to vieit A VINEGAR PACTORY, fiod out the facts of tho case, and take & general 1vok iuto thio way vioegar was mude ip Chicago, and what fame the home-product had gained in the locasd sud foreign whbolesale and retail markets. The reparier accordingly made a call at the vinepar factory aod = was shown round the premises by one of the propriotors. He found tho factory to be a vast collection of buge tubs, runuiwg in height fram 7 to 9 feet, and of a circumference of about 16 feet. The proprietor explained how these tuba were employed in the manufsctare of vinegar. The process, oy viewed by the reporter, sax romark- ably simple. The first thing doue for the manu- facture of the white wino viuegar was tho prepa- rution of s muxture, or * mash,” as it is tech- nically termed, compored of forty-five gallons of watcr, four aud one-half gallons of highwines, and two gallone of eour beer, the laiter pro- curcd from such of the lager-beer ealoons as had met with the misforture of having their stock sour on thew. This mash was poured, 1o & quantity of twelve and one-half aallons, into the tubs, known in the factery = generators, which are tilled proviously with DEECH OR MAPLE SHAVINGS which it was allowed to filter through. Near tho baso of the generators were cut small holes, which admitted the air at the rate of 3,000 cubic foet a minute. The action of this air decom- posed the alcohol aud acidified the different party of the mash. After passing through one generstor the wash was found 10 be clearly acid in flavor, after which it was passed through s second and ' third geneiator, when it was pronounced to bs good. white wine vinegar of j45-grain strength, The total operation took between two and taree hours from the time the nash was poured mto the fitst generator. The process of manufacture of the iower-grade arlicle, whick 18 known as CIDER VINEGAR, ia not different from that of the white-wine vin- egar, though tho compouents of the preliminary mash vary considerabiy. To produce this brund, a forty-five-gallon mash is made, in tho proportion of four gailons of water to one of molasses, to which one and one-balf gallons of highwines are added. Tho vinogar whica this mash is converted into is mpt a3 good as tho white-wine kiud, bewg only what 18 known as forty-grain vivegar. Tui reply to alquestion, tho manufacturer stated that the wholesale dealers did not invariably buy tho vinegar just as it came from the final gen- ciator, Different houses favored vinegars of differcnt strengths, many of them, the bulk of them, in fact, buying nothiog but s vinegar of thisty grains. PICKLING VINEGAR. Reporter—¥What sort of & vinegar is required to iusure good pickles ? Mauufacturer—Picklea will not keep unless forty-grain vinegar is employed. Reporter—Do the wholesale dealers ever sell the thirty-grain article as & pickling vinegar? Manufacturer—Almost without excention they do, and tho result is that their pickles do not keep. The deceived housewife then blames her- eelf or the domesiic receipt-book whose in- structions she followed in the manufscture of her pickles. TReporter—How do you make the thirty-grain vinegor ? Manufactarer—Oh, we reduce our_vinegar to pleass our customers. Our white-wine vinegar e generally make of sixty-grain strength, aud bring it down to the required buyer's standard by the addition of water. Reporter—It is rather bard for a bousewife to be deceived in this manner. ls thore po means of TESTING THE STRENGTH OF VINEGAR ? Manufacturer—Fhere is. I will show you what wecall the Cincinnati Vinegar Scales, an instrument which tests exactly tho sirength of vinegar, This 18 always employed when we sell to customers. Reporter—But not by your customers when they sell to the public. The mannfacturer sbook his head pensively, and proceeded to show the working of the vine- gar scales, s very pretty- hittle instruoment in which the gas generated by the mixing of a cer- tain amount of bi-carbonate of potash with an ounce of vinegar forced water up a glass tube on which were cut_figures, the height to which the water rose in the tube showing tho standard of the vinegar's strength. The reporter resumed questioning the manu- facturer au follows: DIFFERENT KINDS OF VINEGAB. Reporter—What are the different grades of vinegar manufactured in Chicago 2 Manufacturer—The white wine. the cider, the pickling, the double, and the Bhine-wine ¥ine- ar. £ Reporter—Will you tell me the prices st which theso are generally sold by the manufscturer, the wholesale dealer, and the retail dealer ? Alacnfacturer—With pleasure, The cheapest grade is the cider vinegar. We sgell it to the wholesale dealer at 9 cents a gallon, the retail dealer buys it from lum at 11 to 15 cents, and sells 1c to the public at about 35 cents a gallon. Reporter—What is the next bighest grade? Manufecturor—Then comes the white-wine vinegar, which we sell to the wholesale dealer at 12¢ a gallon. This be seils at from 13 to 16 cents to the retail dealer, who allows the public to buy it at 40 cents & gallon. The next erade is the pickling vinegar, which we manufacture of forts- five grain strength, and vell at 16 centa a gallon. This the wholerale dealer selia at from 18 to 20 conta to tlis retail dealar, who gets for it 50 cants s gallon. Then comes the double yinegar, which i8 of sixty prains strength, This wo soll at 24 ceats & gallon; the wholesale dealers’ priccs are from 26 to 30 cents, while tha rctail dealers naver sell thia brand at less than 60 centsa gallon. Raporter-How about your Rhine wine vinegar? Manufacturer—This is merely an extrn strong pickling vinegar, with s little coloriug added to induce business. People are williog to pay from 51010 cents extra per gailon for the coloring matenal and tho brand which we place noon the barrel. The vinegar-mannfacturing busi- uess suffers in common with many other manu- facturing trades in Chicago. I we put a Chicago brand on the barrels we would uot sell a galion. ‘The coramon belief is that good vinegar cannot be made in Chicago, but the foreign brand over- comes all prejudices. Reporter—I_see tiat the wholesale dealer's ‘margin of profit is quite small, while that of the retailer averages from 250 to 400 per ceat. Manufacturer—The figures I give you-are un- fortunately the correct ones. ‘'he profits made by the retailer are simply enormous, but this |_evil is not to be compared to that of selling or- dinary table vinegar of thirty-grain strength to parties intecding to pickle. Thus, too, is an evil to which the wholesale dealers are a party. Reporter—Is not the popular idea regarding the manufscture of vinegar widely different from the process I heve just observed ? Marsofacturer—It is generally supposed that ail vioegaris the resultof the uatural souring of wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages, 1Lf the public: were dependent upon this ind of vinegar picliles would be s much scarcer and dearer comm 0dity than they now are.

From the Dubuque Fimes, On circus-day evening & well-kuown, well-to- 4o citizen of this citv, whose kindoess of heart and kind deeds towards *“ God's poor " are m every man's mouth, though he himeelf is proverbial for his modesty, weat up to e ircns. ike the ancient Empeior Aurelisn, ho counts that day lost which records no good deed—some- thing done which has mado same ore happy.

He took great paios in showing her all the animals, explaining their peculiar- tiea to her, the country they came from, etc., regardless of the wonder it created zmong his friends. He then entercd the circus teat, seat- ing his protege by his side, and congratulating bumeelr that he had made tbat girl's heart purer aod happier for that day, at least. When tho performance was about half through, the girl got up and etarted to go out. **Why do you leave 80 soon, my dear 7" asked our philauthro- pist. **OL!" paid sbe, “this 18 the d—dest poorest circus I ever saw.
