Chinese POIiteneSS.

Rules of politeness are all regulated
at Pekin by the tribunal of rites. In
case you wish to pay visit to man
DARN, the proper thing to do is to send
in your card, on a small piece Of red
paper, on which is your name. followed
by a polite sentence, as this: The
tender and sincere friend of your lord
ship, and the perpetual disciple Of your
doctrine, thus presents himself to pay
his respects and to bow before you to
the earth" If the mandarin is willing
to receive you he asks you to pass
before him. You are expected
to make the humble reply, Ct
dare not;' and, after an in
fnity of gestures, which are ali arrang-
ed, and obligatory phrases, the master
of the house bows to chair, and slight
ly dusts it with the corner Of his robe,
upon which VOC are at length seated.
The difficulties are much increased
when ten or dozen mandarins call
upon an Englishman at once, and, &C
cording to the custom tea is offered, be-
ginning at one Of the highest rank. He
pretends to offer to the next, then to
the third, and so on to the last All
having politely refused, he permits
himself to drink it. The second, in his
turn, has to offer the cup to the others,
and thus the farce proceeds, until all
have gone through the wearisome task.

A Terrible Story.

DR.. Ricardo, of Passaic, n. J., re-
Gently mulcted in heavy damages for
alleged malpractice in dressing the arm
of a little boy, is now on trial for as
sault with intent to kill to cover up the
malpractice It is claimed he gave the
lad morphine. and then said he would
die. The child survived that night,
which seemed to greatly surprise the
doctor on his arrival the next morning.
The next night the same watcher was
called in, and he was told the child
would certainly die that night, and the
morphine powders were ordered to be
given again. The Doctor went to an
undertaken and told him that the child
would die that night, and made arrange
ments with this undertaken for the
burial. Ricardo then told the watcher,
the undertaken, and the mother Of the
child, that, if the child died, not to re-
move the bandages, as it would be dan
gerous for them to do SO. The reason
that the child did not die was because
the powders were not all given as dl-
rected-only portion of them given
the attendant and the mother being
alarmed at the excessive size of the
dose. Seeing that the child did not
die. Mrs. Schaner sent for DR.. Watson,
an old family physician, who examined
the wounded arm, and found that it was
partially decayed, the flesh fairly fall
ing off from the bone. The arm was
amputated, and the unfortunate little
boy (now ten years oldD recovered. Tt
is alleged that Dr. Ricardo told DR..
Watson, in sort of professional conf
dence, that he chad given the child
twenty-four grains of morphine-more
than it took to kill Jim Fisk" These
were the facts that the counsel for the
State said he proposed to prove.

Habits of the Alligator.

A Southern naturalist has made some
observations on the habits of alligators.
Among them he records the following
'sThat alligators swallow their young, [
have had peculiar demonstration in a
single case. [ was engaged in making
survey on the banks of the Homochit-
to lake, near the Mississippi river. The
Gay was warm and sunny, and as [
halted in the margin Of pond, nearly
dried up, to pick up some shells, l
started litter of young alligators that
scampered off, yelping like puppies;
and retreating some twenty yards to the
bank of the La Homochitto, I saw them
reach their refuge in the mouth of a
five foot alligator. She evidently held
open her mouth to receive them, as in
single file they passed in beyond my
observation. The dam then turned
slowly round and slid down beneath the
water passing into large opening in
the bank, beneath the root of an ash
tree. Doubtless this refuge is tempo
rary, and the young are released at
their own or their mothers pleasure;
the descent being but partial, and in no
way reaching or interfering with the
process of digestion.

A Horse that Thinks.

The Newburg Journal relates the fol-
lowing: ga gentleman in the suburbs
has young colt which he values high
ly, not only on account of his possessing
pure blood and a great degree of speed,
but for his intelligence. In common
with the other stock in the stable, he is
fed from crib on the sideof the build
ing. 1t has been noticed that, while all
the other animals left small quantity
of fine hay and hay seed IN the
further end of the crib, which
could not be reached, the bars only
permitting them to get their noses In a
short distance, this horse always has
his eaten clean. On being watched, 1t
was discovered that the colt would catch
up the slack of his rope halter III his
teeth, so that it formed loop, and,
thrusting it between the bars, ne was
able to push it to the back part of the
crib, and, by drawing il out again, to
drag with it, where he could reach it,
the part of the feed referred to. Thus
it was the crib was always clean. The
way he handles the rope is said to be
skillful and sagacious in the extreme. .

Bored by a Beauty.

It was the evening train from Moscow
to Warsaw. My friend and myself con-
graduated ourselves that we were to
have exclusive use of the car for the
night, and could enjoy our cigars unin
terruptedly.
Alas the guard had not been 81 seen, .
and the result of this lack of forethought
was that ere the train started two ladies
were put in with us.
"That settles the cigar question, d
said [.
One was voung-say, 90; the other
was old-say 60; but both were ladies,
as was shown hy their dress, manners,
and faces. and still further by the fact
that they were in a frst-class carriage.
With their presence, however, disap-
peared the one single method Of soften

there were no ''sleepers. So my friend

deepening twilight as the train sped
along, utterly oblivious of our compan-
ions. For one, he wished them in---oh,

were going. I did not know then, as ]
afterward learned, that one could smoke

Singular Physical Manifestations.

The Spiritual Scientist announces
that there are two gentlemen in Deer
ing, n. H., Nathan Peaslee and Luther
Buxton, who have remarkable medium
istic power for physical manifestations.
They can stop a stage coach on the
highway by spirit power, the only re-
qulsite being that they shouldlie down,
one on either SIDE of the road, and hide
their faces in their hats, to produce the
condition of darkness. This attracts
power sufficiently strong to form
chain, as it were, across the road, and
it is impossible to force horse by thus
obstruction; the driver may he Ignorant
of the locality, and fail to see the hui
man forms at the side OF the road; but
the horse is affected AS above stated.

From the New York World.

Careful scrutiny of the last Repre-
rentatives-elect to the Forty fourth Con-
gress reveals but one Snith-a Georgia
gentleman. This is an unusually small
representa- on in the House OF a large
family. There is but one Jones also,
Thomas L., of Kentucky. But the
Williamses loom up. There are no less
than six of them: Jerry, Of Alabama;
James, of Indiana, and Alpheus, of
Michigan-all Democrats; and William,
OF Michigan, Andrew, of New York, and
Charles, of Wisconsin-an Republi
cans. The Harrises come next, three Of
them-Henry, of Georgia, and John, of
Virginia, Democrats; and Benjamin, of
Massachusetts, q Republican. All of
the other members who are not single
travel in couples. There are two
Woods-FerDando,o of New York, Dem
ocrat; and Allen, of Pennsylvania, Re
publican. Two Phillipses- John, of
Missouri, Democrat; and William,
of Kansas, Republican, Two
Hamiltons-Andrew of Indi-
ana, and Robert, of New Jersey, both
Democrats. Two Caldwells- John, of
Alabama, and William, Of Tennessee,
both Democrats. Two John,
Of Pennsylvania, and Alexander, of
South Carolina, both Republicans. Two
Wilson's Of Iowa, Republican;
and Benjamin. of West Virginia, Dem
ocrat Two Burchards-Horatio, of Il
linois, and Samuel, of Wisconsin, the
former a Republican, and the latter a
Democrat. Two Reillys-John and
James, Of Pennsy lvania, both Demo
Gratis; and two Bagleys-John and
George, both of New York, the first
Democrat, and the second a Republi-
can. There are two Clarks with the
same initials,-John B.,-and both are
Democrats, one from Missouri and the
other from Texas. Another variation is
similarity in peculiar given names: an
illustration of it being furnished in
Scott Wike, Of Illinois, and Scott Lord,
Of New York, and both are Democrats.

Ex-senator Nye.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

Ex-senator Nye, of Navada, one of
the best looking men and most humor-
Gus and eloquent orators whom the
our day, is lying at the residence Of his
daughter, in New York City, a complete
wreck. He has had softening of the
brain. Nye was the finest orator in
New York for the Van Buren, party in
the earliest days Of free soil. He was
the police commissioner appointed by
the state government to deprive Fer
nando Wood of police authority as
mayor of New York. Nye arrested
| Wood in person, in the midst of immi-
nent danger of bloody battle between
several thousand police, one side repre-.
senting the city, the other the state
authority. He was made first governor
of Nevada, and was elected to
the Senate. He took fair rank among
the best orators of the Pacific coast,
such as General Baker, Starr King,
and Tom Fitch. Although poor, and
careless about money, Nye had almost
as many friends as any man of his time.
A few months ago he was struck with
vertigo in the street and taken home
It was noticed soon afterward that his
mind was astray, and he could not
answer questions with appositeness.
Intervals of memory and consciousness
would return for days, and then the in
telligence would grow hayward again.
Two or three days ago he imagined him
self dead and waiting for his coffin.
Another time he desired to take his life.
He suffered no pain whatever, but his
physicians pronounced his disease to be
a probably incurable softening Of the
brain that would soon relieve him from
! human help and pity.
