4 FAIR Hlr.--The New York Literary
Gazette relates the following anecdote as an
illustration Of English notions oIthe United
States:
"a cockney sportsman, who had read
With delight Mr.. Hoffinan's new work on
the wild sports of America, took passage in
London packet, and arrived here during
the present week, in search Of wild game
He brought letters 10 highly respectable
mercha,, with whom we are well acquainted,
and desired, after delivering them, 10 be di.
rected to the best hunting grounds without
delay, as he cohd only remain here few
days, purpos;ng to return in The Great Wes.
tern. He said that he came 10 New York
principally to shoot bears. Our mercantile
friend, satisfying himself that his new ac..
quainance was perfectly serious, informed
him that the spot had been greatly cut up
here, and recommended him to proceed to
Philadelphia. He departs for that city this
day: and we call upon our friends there to
extend to the distinguished stranger their
usual hospitality"

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Editor: Your humble correspondent
has lived some years in the world, and at Ia st
has come to the 3conclusion it is the height OF
folly to try to please every body; men often
run into extremes on either side.
There is a happy medium betwixt the heart
less disposition to please nobody, and the alb
surd aim to please every body; and fortunate
are they who find tins middle line, and keep It
so steadily as seldom to run into the extreme
on either hand. There is such thing as
union of condescsnsion and firmness and
happy thing it is. To condescend in things
Indifferent, in things trivial, IN things that
touch not the conscience, nor seriously en-
dangers ones earthly interest and welfare
and meanwhile to 60 not step farther for
any persuasion whatever: no, not to please
ones nearest friends that is the golden mean.
AS some pretend to care for none, there are
those who, on the other hand, try to please all
by becoming not in its best serse, "al things
to all men" Some do it from sei!sh designs
altogether, and others from too yielding tem'
pers these last cannot bear, in any cage, to
be op posed or to oppose; so they readily fall
10 with the sentiments and views of their pre-
sent compa ny. and side with every one they
meet. Often this plabiity Of mind OF temper
is owing to sort of amiable weakness, but il
is destructive Of all respectability Of character.

GAZETTE,
FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 3, 1889.

Those persons in this neighborhcod who
have the Alpine Mulberry tree planted and
who wish to collect information in regard to
it, will 6nd an account of its origin in the ar
ticle of fMr. Gideon B. Smith, copied from The
National Intelligencer into another column..-
according to Mr.. Smiths account, it sprung
from the italian, or common white mulberry,
and probably possesses the same properties
except that the leafis larger. The objections
to the white mulberry tree for silk culture are L:
l. The smallness of the leaf; 9. The slowness
of the growth, and the length Of time before
it can be stripped to feed he worms ; and 3.
The necessity of climbing the tree to gather
the leaves, unless the tree IS dvaJed, in which
case the quantity ofleaves yielded is small
The first of these objections does not obtain
in regard to the Alpine tree and the tree is
perhaps of too recent origin to determine how
ia. the others do.

THE POWER OF CONSCIENCE.

Some days since, gentleman from the
West, who was stopping at one OF our prIn.
cipal hotels, had retired to rest, when some
one entered his room, opened his pocket
book, and took from it seven hundred dol.
lars. There were several thousand dollars
IN the book at that time, and II naturally ex.
cited wonder that any Of it should have been
left. A few days after the theft, he recciv-
ed note, s,ating that person wanted to
see him near tho Western Bank after dark,
on matters Of Importance, and requested
-i,.-. -l-.-ll l------r--.l-----.i wv tuor
reorest was'not. however, compiled with,
and the person robbed taking a friend with
him, went 10 the place indicated. Upon ar.
r,vins there. they found young man, well
dressed and apparently well educated, who
at once, without reserve stated tha: he had
committed the robbery. That being dis
tressed for muney, he had in moment OF
desperation. entered his room and taken the
money from the pocket book. That he
had no idea at the time of the amount he
was taking. but upon examining it. and find.
ing tha, what he had taken was five hun.
dred and two hundred dollar notes. and then
reflcciing on the iniamy Of the crime, he
had committed, he was coniounded. 1t
was in vain that lie soughtto soace his mind
by urging the necessity which induced him
to the act sleep was banshed from his eyes,
and miserable being, he wandered about
shrinking from the gaze Of every one he
encountered, and expectiog every moment
to be arrested. Shame prevented him from
returning the money, and he took j, several
| miles from the city and buried it. THIS
brought no quiet to his disturbed conscl.
ence. The though, of his guilt was upper.
most in his mind, and he had determined
| 10 return The money through the Post.office,
and dug it up and enclosed it in a blank
sheet Of paper for that purpose. Ills hon.
esiy, having so far overcome the suggcs''
lions of pride, led him 10 60 farther. Tho
return ofthe money would not relieve lnno-
cent persons who might be suspected, and
it was this refrxon that had forced him,
as he said, to return the money in person.
Saying this, the young man placed the
money in the hands of its true owner, and

A corresp ndent Of the Bay Stale Demo-

The next morning he wonld say" Will you

Origin Of f'Foolscap' Paper.-lt is well
known that Charles |. Of England, granted
numerous mouopoies for the support of
his government. Among others was the
privilege Of manufacturing paper: The
water mark of the finest sort was the royal
arms of England. The consumption Of
this article was great, at this time, and large
fortunes we're made by those who had
purchased the exclusive right TO vend it,
This. among other monopolies, was set
aside by the Parliament that brought Charles
to the scaf1old, and by way of showing their
contempt for the King, they ordered the
royal arms to be taken from the paper, and
a fool, with his cap and bells TO be substitu.
ted. Itis now more than an hundred and
seventy-6 five years since the FOOLS cap and
bells were taken from the paper, but still,

mcnt ordered for their journals, bears The

indignity to Charles.

A good Idea, properly Promulgated.-A
suiter appeared IN Court in London, about

confessed his utter ignorance of any such
decision.

Court.
"But do not see the newspapers, said
