BEING AaREEADLE.-Thc art Of being
agreeable is to appear we'll pleased with
all the company i; and rather to seem
we'll entertained with them than TO
being entertainment to them. A nan
thus disposed may not have much learn
ing nor much wit, but IL he has COM
mon sense and something friendly in his
behavior, it conciliates mems minds
more than the brightest parts without
this disposition and when q nan Of
such q turn ONE to old age he is
almost sure to be treated with respect.
1t Is true that we should not dissemble
and fatter in company /; but q ina may
be very agreeable, strictly consistent
with truth aud sincerity, by prudent
silence where he cannot concur, and a
pleasing assent where he can. Now
and then you meet with q person so ex-
actly formed to please, that he will
gain upon every person who hears or
beholds him this disposition Is not
merely the gift of nature, but frequently
the effect Of much knowledge Of the
world and a command over the passions

CHINESE wAys.-The English papers
in China have extensive comments up
on the name Of reception Of the Chi
nese Embassy at San Francisco, but do
not seem to think that they will be
much benefited by what they may see.
Hear the Hongkong Press on that point:
"The Chinamau who sees new and
improved ways Of doing things, compli-
ments them extravagantly, declares
them UNNECESSARILY superior to the Chi
nese way Of doing things, and then
quietly subsidies to the level Of his own
national custom, without having any
more idea Of really changing his habit
because Of what he has seen, han Of
trying to run on all fours because he
admires the speed which q horse at
tains on that system. Slowly, and to
an in6nitessimal extent foreigners round
the edge Of China are gradually plant
ing some of the customs Of civilization,
and they take root in a weakly kind Of
way, like the tr%ansplanted slips Of all
that grows from EnSland to Van Die
mans, of which mention is made in
'Amphion'-
And yet. though fed with careful diet,
They're neither green nor sappy.
Half conscious Of the garden squirt,
The poor things look unhappy"

PUSHING AHEAD. - A telegram from
the eastern end Of the Central Pacific
Railroad, dated yesterday, states that
the track is now laid two hundred and
si1ty-eight miles from Sacramento-or
ten miles the other side Of Oreana.
Six miles and q little over, were laid
yesterday. Such energy in railroad
construction is certainly without a par
allel. The public cannot but feel pleas
cd with the prospect Of the early COM
pletion of this great national work. A
gentleman who came over the Union
Pacific Railroad, and who has just ar
rived here with the Stewart-G orham
party, informed US yesterday that in his
opinion it 10 doubtful whether the Gen.
trail and Union will connect until a year
from this fall. He says the Union has
Just got into its heaviest and most ex-
pensiye work.

PUBLIC STREET ANusEaEXr.-Among
the sports Of the Americans, aud more
especially among n%uturalized Amerl-
cans, should be classed that OF knock
ing Cinnamon down. It seems II favor
lite method of dispelling ennui and stands
next to the introduction Of ten ms q bev-
erage as one of tue great blessings ac-
corded civilization BY the Chinese.
Hing Sing, a Mongolian writer Of some
ability, in abiding to our playfulness
in this particular, says in his letter to
the Ho-any-ho Light Banner: "The
Americans proper are indifercntly well
disposed toward our people. Were 1t
possible for them, practically, to carry
out their principles toward US, there
would be little cause for complaint.
Unfortunately, the native American has
but little influence in the government
of the country. The voice of certain
tribes, migrating from Europe, is now
dominant in their councils. Politically,
the American proper, to use n common
phrase in their vernacular, takes II
back seat The success Of n leading
party Is owing to an excessively
high bid for foreign votes. We
say success, although no such result
was gained, since in order to attain a
mere numerical superiority, the party
termed Democratic, surrendered all
their power and patronage to II tribe
coming from q beautiful island beyond
the sea. OF this island, the exiles con-
stantly sing, although they seldom re.
turn even when their pockets are filled
with the gold Of the country. This
dominant nationality, transplanted TO
America to hold Offices, is greatly pref
udiced against our people. From them
como nine-tenths Of the insults and
street outrages. 1t is Of theirs, n favor
ite sport to knock a Chinaman down,
after which they return home and sing
beautiful songs concerning the wrongs
Of the oppressor.' 1t is but natural for
us to ask why, since We court no power
and seldom cause public OF private dis.
t~urbance, that we shall not be allowed
to walk the streets unmolested? The
Americans term theirs q { land Of liber-
ty,' a phrase by no mea inappropriate
when applied to the liberty allowed and
taken by the strong to modest the weak"

THE secret Of being able to sleep at
will is the power to fix the attention
upon the breathing. The person must
depict to himself that he sees the breath
passing from his nostrils in II contin-
uous stream, and the very instant he
brings his mind to conceive this, apart
from other ideas, consciousness and
memory depart, Imagination slumbers,
fancy becomes dormant, thought sub
dued, the scntient faculties lose their
susceptibility, the vital or ganglionic
system assumes the sovereignty, and he
no longer wakes, but sleeps.
