CHINESE CHARACTERIsTICs.-O lesson
that China has to teach the western nations
is n persistent effort, kept up during thou
sands OF years and in spite OF Tartar incur
sions, Manchu defeats, and innumerable re-
bellions, to raise to high offices OF trust and
honor only such men as are worthy OF the
position by reason OF their good moral char
actcr or wisdom. This is the unceasing
burden of their classics and the proverbs and
quotations taught by heart in every school OF
China. Notwithstanding their Emperor and
his supposed autocratic rule, there is no
country so democratic, and none where hon.
est critics have been bolder in the censure
of wrong-doers in positions OF power.
The number Of martyrs to the truth OF
their own convictions would astonlsh one,
were it not also the case that the Chinese
show a singular indifference to life and a
readiness to commit suicide that is almost
appalling. Not infrequently they show a
tendency to commit acts OF incredible
cruelty and barbarity. The most peaceful
nation on the earth, they seem able to bear
great deal Of physical pain without finch
ing. Surgeons testify to their comparative
inScnsibility to nervous shocks from
operations. Their educational system
il conducted on a gigantic scale, and its
HOnoTS are dWalueu W hieh "Ho S"n ~
form herculean feats Of memory and wea-
ther out tremendous examinations. But all
this system is destined to one end-the pro-
curing OF the highest talent for the service
OF the State. True to their ideal, in spite
Of corruption, wickedness OF high officials,
and the inherent effects Of no ossifying sys-
TEN, the Chinese are always trying to sift
out the best men, and getting them into
Offices OF trust If the results are bad the
system is at fault, not that idea Of justice
and propriety which causes them to perse-
we're in the attempt.

4 tall, elderly, refned-looking gentleman
recently went into small post-office in q
rural region OF England. lie asked some
questions relative to the registering OF a let
ter, and was very sharply, rudely, and un-
necessarily snubbed by young woman in
attendance. lie asked her II she thought
that was proper way to answer an inquiry
in a public office. She said she thought
that she had been quite civil enough for
him. He asked her, with an .ominously-in-
creasing mildness Of manner, If she would
favor him with her name. She emphaticatly
declined to do 80. He then said he thought
he would tell her his name, which, however,
she declined to hear, saying that his name
was no concern of hers. He calmly replied
that he thought it was, for his name was
John Manners, and he was the Postmaster
General -....

The RELEASED SAMPLE-MERcHANT.-M
c. L. Skinner, the gentleman who was ar
rested some four weeks ago on the charge
Of violating the revenue law, and who was
discharged from custody by Judge Well
ford Monday evening, desires 1t stated that
he is from Hamilton, Canada, and is not,
but was formerly, connected with Penn
sylvania wooden-ware house. AS to the
latter, it should be said that it was In evi-
dence that Mr.. Skinner represented that he
was connected with wooden-ware COM
pany as O small shareholder, and he laid the
card OF the concern before one OF two per-
sons Mr.. Gresham understood" Mr.
SINNERS words and actions to mean
that he desired to sell goods. How
ever that may be. Police.Justicet White
found "probabIe cause" to believe accused
guilty and sent him on for indictment, and
committed him in default OF bail. Judge
Wexford, exercising larger discretion,
very properly discharged him, and probably
saved his life. Mr.. Skinner has always
claimed that he came here not to sell goods,
and that he simply called upon some OF his
old patrons in friendly, not business,
way. However that may be, the testimony
was that he ,oas connected with wooden
ware house, rs here stated.

The FREIGHrs or TEE CHESAPEAKE AND
OHIO kAILROAD.-At the last meeting OF
the Board Of Directors OF the Chamber OF
Commerce the following report with save-
raj papers) was presented and adopted:
10 The President and Board of Directors Of
the Chamber of Commerce:
Gentlemen.-YourC C6mmittee on Inland
Trade, to whom was referred the complaint
of 5. NJ. Shepherd, Of Greenwood Depot,
in regard to freight-rates on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad, beg leave to report that
on inquiry and examination into the COM
parative rates OF freight on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad and other lines, both in
and out OF the State, that they find that OH
almost every article OF comparison that the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad are lower
than other roads. The rate on wheat being
but 81 cents per ton per mile, and on corn
but 6-10 cents per ton per mile, we do not
deem these rates eXorbitant.
Under these circumstances the railroad
company decline to make any further modi-
tication Of their tariff,
Referring to the enclosed letter OF B. S.
Fitch on the subject, and comparative table
OF rates Of freight, we respectfully beg to
report that we can find no just ground OF
complaint in this instance.
