THE DAILY APPEAL H. if. J&ghels: :::::: ::::: Editor. Sandajr Storming, Nov. 29, lfc6S. A GOSHAHDIZEB III THE W30XG PLACE. The true, representative American is neither an abstemious, decorous Adams, nor a guzzling, duel fighting, gourmand like the lion. Reverdy Johnson from the terrapin side of Maryland. Raiher, on the contrary, 13 the tvpe of man that should represent the Gr;at Republic abroad made np upon the Cyrus W Field model a man in whom is com bined the shrewdness of the Yankee and the polish of the sagacious man of the world, tempered with a genuine morality. Still, our Minister to the Court of St. James or St. Cloud should be another than just such a man as Mr. Field ; we only mention him as a good specimen of the " live Yankee " and a " live Yankee " is what is needed to deal with John Bull and " the nephew of his ancle." Whatever is done, Johnson should be recalled. lie dines too much : eats and drinks too rapaciously when he does dine ; talks too much over his walnuts and bis wine ; and is out of his sphere when neglecting his clients in the V. S. Supreme Court to carou.-e with beef eating and port drinking John Bull. He gushes too much far a min ister ; and jollifies when he should be driving a sharp bargain. The individ uality wjich should be maintained by the great Yankee nation is not at all a part of Mr. Johnson's nature. He has no genius for whittling a stick ; never taught school ; and is too familiar with turtle sonps and terrapin stew. While it ij hard to select the right man to fill THE FTTUBE OF WHITE PISE. " Fit Smytbe," the White Pine cor respondent of the Sac Francisco Alts, winds np a very long, elaborate and in teresting letter from that new mining district as follows: Will the deposits prove merely superficial and soon work out, or will they lead to the discovery or permanent leases r is asked daily. Quien tube ! It is certain that the deposits already uncovered cannot be worked out in a year, acd meantime KoUUU.UUt) or $10,000,000 of bullion will have been pro duced and shipped to San Francisco. All through the White Pine District new dis coveries, of greater or les3 importance, are being made dailv and at Duckwater, forty miles southeast ; at the new Sierra District, sisty fire miles south ; at Eureka, 80 miles west all around, in fact new discoveries I are being made. Stretching from the north ern line or Idaho to the sonora Ime on the south, is a broad belt of metalliferous coun try as yet but partially explored or wholly untouched. AH this will be hunted over next year by prospectors, stimulated by the White Pine discoveries. To our friends we say : Go slow ; buy or locate for what you can see, in this district, and instead of ex pending vast sums in running cosily tunnels to strike imaginary lodes at treat depth. adopt the Mexican rule where you see ore, (to for it (or gopher it, if you prefer that form of expression.) There is wood iu this locality enough to last for years to come ; for the present the mines are rich beyond calculation, and for the rest, let to-morrow take care of itself : " Sufficient un'o the dav is the evil thereof." The White Pine Mill Company (Miller, Tavlor & Co) have just ot their ten-stamp mill running ; another of five stamps will be running soon, and next summer there will be no lack of facili ties for reducing ore at low rates. White Pine is " a big thing on ice " (literally) al ready, and it is not worth our while to speculate much as to the futuee ; the present is almost fabulous, and we need not draw on our own imaginations. H0BACE GBEEXEY. Mark Train' Humorous Description of Him. The Mother of Schi-tler Colfax. Mrs. Matthews, the mother of the Vice President elect, has been for several weeks stopping with her friends in this ciiy. Like the mothers cf nearly all our great men, she is a nob'e woman, of great intel lectual power. Mr. Colfax owes much of his success to his mother, and he fully ap preciates it. She is a remarkably hale and happy old lady, and rejoices in a quiet way over the success of her son. Her only desire for his advancement seems to be that he may be placed in a position to do more good. At the aae of fifteen she I. . : i . i" i , m if .

If Grant were not going to be President be would be, of all others, the man for the place. What is needed, in short, is a man who earnestly and intelligently believes that American civilization and the American nationality is something better, standing npon its own merits, than anything that can be cultivated by imitating English manners and surren the elder child died in infancy. Some years later Mrs. Colfax was mar ried to Mr. Matthews. Nearly thirty years ago the young couple, with little Schuyler tnd other childien that had been born to them, removed to New Carlisle, Lanurte county, inaiana. Since the death of the wife of Schuvlcr Colfax, his mother has presided over his home in Washington, with grace and dig nity. She will soon, so rumor says, be re lieved from the duties of the position by Miss Nellie Wade of Ohio, who is to be come the wife of the Vice President before the eud of the present month. Mrs. Mat thews, we are informed, will continue her residence with her son in Washington.

Greeley gets up at three o'clock in the niornine ; for it is one of bis favorite max ims that only early rising can keep the health unimpaired and the brain vigorous. He then wakes up all the household and as sembles them in the library, by candle light, and, after quoting the beautuul lines ' Karly to beil and early to rise Makes a man htaltbv, wealthy an'l wise." he appoints each individual's task for the day, sets him at it with encouraging words, anu goes back to bed airam. 1 mention here, in no fault-tindinrr spirit, but with the defer ence justly due a mau who is older and wier and worthier than I, that he snores awfully. In a moment of irritation once. I was rash enough to say I never would sleep with him until he broke himself olf this unfortunate habit. I have kept my word with bigoted and unwavering determination. At half-past eleven o clock ijreeiey ries again, lie shaes himself, lie considers that there is great virtue and economy in shaving himself, lie does it with a dull razor, sometimes humming a part of a tune (he knows part of a tune, and takes an inno cent delight in regarding it as the first half of Uld Hundred; but parties lami.iar witn that hymn have felt obliged to confess tti they could not recognize it, and, therefore, the noise he makes is doubtless an uncon scious original composition of Greeley's), and sometimes, wlicu the razor is especially dull, he accompanies himself with a formula like this: "Damn the damned razor and the damned outcast who made it." II. G. He then goes out to his model garden and applies his vast store of agricultuial knowl edge to the amelioration of his cabbages ; after which he writes an able agricultural article fur the instruction of American farm ers, his soul cheered the while with the re flection that if cabbages wpre worth 11 apiece his model farm would pay. He next goes to breakfast, which is a frugal, abstemious meal with him, and Con sists of nothing but just such things as the market aifnrds nothing more. He drinks nothing but w-ater nothing whatever but water, and coffee, and tea. and Scotch ale, and lager beer, aud lemonade with a tiy in it sometimes a house ny and sometimes a horse rlv according to the amount of inspira tion required to warm him up to his daily duties. During brtakfa-t he reads ihe Tri bune all through, and enjovs the satisfaction of knowing that all the brilliant things in it, written by Young, and Cooke, and Hazard and mvsclf are attributed to lini bv a con- tiJing and infernal public. After breakfast he writes a short editorial, and puts a large dash at the beginning of it, thus ( ), wl.K-h is the same as it he put H. G. after it, and takes a savage pleasure in reflecting that nuiie of us understrappers can use tiiat dash, except in profane conversa tion, when chafing over the outrage. He writes this editorial in his own hanawritiiig. He does it because he is so vain of his pen manship. He always did take an inordinate pride ill his penmanship. He hired out once, in his young days, as a writing master, but the enterprise failed. The pupils couid not translate his remarks with any certainty. His lirst copy was, " Virtue is its own re ward," and they got it, Washing with soap is whollv absurd," and so the Trustees dis charged him for attempting to convey bad morals, through the medium cf worse pen manship. But, as I was saving, he writes his morning editorial. Then he tries to read it over, and can't d i i, and so sends it to the printers, and they try to read it, and can't do it ; and so thev set it up at random, as you may say, putting in what words they can make out, and when they get aground on a long word they put in "reconstruction, or "universal suffrage," and spar off and pad dle ahead, and next morning, if the degraded public can tell what it is ail about, tiiey say II. G. wrote it ; and if they k-'au't they say it is one of those imbecile auaerstrappers ; that is the end of it. On Sundays Greeley sits in a prominent pew in Chapin's Church, and lets ou that he is asleep, and the congregation regard it as au eccentricity of genius. When he is going to appear in public. Greeley spends two hours ou his toilet. He is the ino.t pains-taking and elaborate man about getting up his dress that lives in America. This is his chiefest and pleasant- est foible. He puts on his old white over coat, and turns up the collar. He puts on a soiled shirt, saved from the wash, and leaves one end of the collar unbuttoned. He puts on his most dilapidated hat, turns it wrong side before, cants it on to the back of his head, and jams an extra dint in the side of it. lie puts on his most atrocious boots, and pends fifteen minutes tucking the left leg of his pants into nis boot-top in what shall seem the most careless and unstudied way ut his cravat it is into the arrangement of his cravat that he throws all his soul, all the power of his great mind. After fixing at it for forty minutes before the glass it is per fect it is askew every way it oveiflows his coat collar on one side and sinks into obliv ion on the other it climbs and it delves around about bis neck the knot is conspicu ously displayed under his left ear, and it stretches one of its long ends straight out orizontallv, and the other iroes alter his eyes, in the good old Toodies fashion and hen, completely and marvelously appareled. Greeley strides forth, roiling like a sailor, a miracle of astounding customary, the awe and wonder of the nation ! But I havu't time to tell the rest of his private habits. Suffice it that he is an up- ght and an honest man a practical, great- brained man a useful man to his nation and is generation a famous man, who has just- r earned his celeonty and, withal, the orst dressed man in this or aiiy other coun try, even though he does take so thundering much pains and put on so many frills about POLITICAL JETJ D'ESFSIT.
