ANEcDoTE OF JOHN ADAMs--DTToHING VS.
LAT1N.-The following anecdote was related
by President John Adams, even to the last
days of his life, with all the good humorwhic
was SO Characteristic of the man.
When was boy had to study the Latin
grammar, but it was dull and hated it. Ny
father was anxious to send me to college, and
therefore studied the grammar till / could
bet.r it no longer; and going to my father,
told him | did not like study and asked for
some other employment. II was opposing
his wishes, and he was quick in his answer;
"Well John" said he, "if Latin Grammar
does not suit you, you may try ditching,
perhaps that will; my meadow yonder needs
a ditch, and you may put by Latin and try
that" ....-..-....-...
This seemed delightful change, and to the
meadow went But / soon found ditching
harder than Latin, and the first forenoon
was the longest | ever experienced. That
day ate the bread of labor, and glad was
when night came on. That night l made
some comparison between Latin grammar
and ditching, but said not word about it
| dug the next forenoon, and wanted to re-
turn to Latin at dinner but it was humiliat
ing, and could not do it. At night toi
conquered pride, and told my father--ont
of the severest trials Of my life--that if hi
chose, would go back to Latin grammar
He was glad of it; aud if have since gaineC
any distinction, it has been owing to the two
days labor in that abominable ditch.

A TAILOR INTERFERING WITH COMMERCIAL
TREATY BETWEEN Two GREAT NATIoNs.--A
correspondent relates an incident which took
place in st. Petersburg, in 1880, illustrating
the connection between diplomacy and dress
in the European courts and showing how a
slow tailor may obstruct the good under
standing between nations. John Randolph
at that period was our Minister at the Russian
court, and on the plea of ill-health, threw
up his mission and returned to the United
States, leaving his Secretary of Legation, ].
Randolph Clay, in his stead, as Charge des
Afaires. Some important business was then
pending between the two countries, which
made it necessary that Mr.. Clay should be
presented at once to the Emperor Of the Rus
sias but this could not be done until he was
provided with q proper uniform, and he had
none. He was therefore compelled to wait
till his tailor, who worked very deliberately
had furnished one. During this interval the
good understanding between the two Gov
ernments may be said to have been suspended
on a thread. at is to be hoped,n adds our
correspondent, Shat Mr.. Appleton, who is
sent out to angle in the sea Of Russian diplo-
macy, will, before offering to drop his lines,
take care that the bodkin and needle shall
have done their work, however he may pro-
test against the necessity"

PEE-PoRTRAIr OF GARIBAIDI.--Fron d his
tory of the campaign of the Caceiatori of the
Alps, the New York y Eco d Italia extracts
the following portrait Of the hero of Sicily:
Giuseppi Garibaldi is of medium stature
with large square shoulders, herculean limbs
and long reddish hair and beard, inclnine
to gray. His step is slow and majestic, his
gait something like that of seaman, and his
countenanee and conversation are also sug-
gestive Of the mariner; he wears a waistcoat
hat and wide trousers. The noise of a city
annoys and disturbs him. He likes the hill
tops, covered with high trees, and enjoys the
view Of the distant horizon and the wide sea
he has a straight nose, and the expression Of
his face is both lively and amiable. His con.
versation is unpretending, but it rises to elo-
quence when he talks of Italy and liberty.

A Home In the Celestial Empire-House Of
n Chinese Gentleman.
This is on Introduction by Chinese gem
tlehiau to his house: q f'1 EBNANtOJ s
He first took us to his country house, now
uninhabited. II was the perfect residence Of
a Chinese gentleman. There was very
large garden, with bamboo hedges and large
fish tanks, edged with walls Of blue bricks
and perforated tiles. His pigs were in adj
mirable condition, and as beautifully kept as
the Prince Consorts at Windsor About the
grounds were nutmegs, mangosteens, plan
tains, cocos-nuts, dairens, and small creep
ers trained into baskets and pagodas. In
side the house the drawing-rooms had doors
sliding across circular openings, We then
went on to this good gentleman's private
residence, entering by u Chinese triumphal
gate. He tells me be has ten miles of car
riage road round his estate. It is on a fine
undulating tract Of land, reclaimed from the
Jungle, and laid out with rare taste.
In the outskirts tiger killed man the
other day. In his garden l found Jocko,
| living in a cane cage, next door to porcu-
pine; there were also some rare birds;
further on some very small Brahmin bulls,
Cashmere goat, and family Of young
kaugaroos. There were all sorts of unknown
beautiful flowers placed about in enormous
| China vases. Here l first saw the tea-plant
| growing. It is Of the camelia tribe, three or
four feet high, and bears a small white
flower, like the opening dog-rose; also,
was shown the "moon-fower," a kind Of
rounded convolvulus, that only opens at
night There was bower of monkey
cups"-the pitcher flower, which collects
water, and from which Jocko refreshes him
self in the jungles. The fan-palm-a beau
tiful tree on the lawn--produced water oi
clear, cold quality, by being pierced with 9
penknife.
Several minute creepers were trained over
wire forms, to initiate dragons, with egg
shells for their eyes, and there were many o.
the celebrated dwarf trees.-the first l had
seen-little oaks and elms about eighteen
inches high, like small, withered old men
The house here was superbly furnished in the
English style, but with lanterns all about it
| AT six o'clock the guests arrived-mostly
English-all dressed in short white jackets
and trowsers. The dinner was admirably
served in good London style, and all the ap.
pointments, as regarded plate, wines and
Dishes perfect The quiet attentive waiting
Of the little China boys deserved all praise
After dinner we lounged through the rooms
decorated with English prints of the royai
family, statuettes, 'curios,n from, every part
of the world, and rare objects in jade-stone
and crackle China; also, portrait Of oui
hosts son, who is being educated in Edin-
burg.

been taken from his hand. Just as he was
