Mosby Raising q Breeze in China.

A private letter just received from
distinguished merican merchant at
Hong Kong conveys some interesting
particulars, in semi-official way, of the
performances of the new consul of the
United States to that port-the ex.guer-
rilla Colonel, John s. Mosby, of Virginia.
Hong Kong, as is known, is the seat of
British power in the waters of China and
Japan, and ruled by an officer of the
Crown, entitled Governor General. All
the pomp and pageantry of miniature
court is maintained. Under these cir
.cumstances the proprieties of etiquette
are closely observed, and the regimen Of
manners is dictated by the Governor Gen.
erals official household. 1t appears, on
the occasion of Colonel Mosby's ap-
pearance at his post, he disregarded the
usual formalities toward the authorities,
and subsequently on the occasion of an
entertainment of ceremony at the guber-
material residence, he was requested to
appear in the proper costume of polite
society. He replied that he would be
id before he would wear anything
except what another American citizen
would wear; that he represented the
United States, and he proposed to intro
duce American manners and American
customs.
His conduct at Hong Kong since his
arrival there has not only not been salts
factory to the American residents, but
has been exceedingly Objectionable to
the English and the residents of the
other uationalities. This information
has caused much comment here, and
prominent official observed to-day that
it was remarkable fact to him that q
person of his character and political re-
iations had been able to so successfully
deceive President Grant, and continue
with the same success his operations
with the present administration; that his
manipulation of patronage has not been
confined to the appointment of a brother
in the Treasury Department, but extends
to "his sisters, and cousins and aunts."
His success is mainly attributable to his
assumption that he controls the Republi-
can party of the Old Dominion, and in this
way has practiced upon the credulity of
two Presidents without ever showing the
slightest evidences of practical results.
1t is not improbable that the govern
ment will inquire into this matter, and
if Colonel Mosby has been guilty of what
is alleged, action will be taken in the
premises. Press.

Buy SMALL TREEs.-Nursery men
usually describe trees in their catalogue
as Second class" medium, first class"
and "extra." The difference in these
classes is principally, if not wholly, in
the sizes and height of the trees and as
most farmers desire the best they suppose
that the large "extra" trees merit that
description, and hence order them. The
fact is, however, that small tree will
grow faster and (if fruit tree) come into
bearing condition. sooner than a large
one; and, as the Ne,o England Homestead
states, in half dozen years the tree that
was small when planted will be larger
and finer than any other. The larger
the tree, the larger the roots, and the
fewer there will be upon them. A tree
that has plenty of fibrous roots will grow
readily if proper care is used in transpor-
tation but no amount of skill can coax
tree to live and flourish which is desti-
tute of these little fbres. The roots of
large trees are always more or less mutil-
ated in the process of taking up, while
small trees sustain little injury from this
source. Dealers in trees assert that ex-
perienced men buy small, thrifty trees,
while those who are just starting are anx-
ious for the largest to be had. Those
who are to set trees the coming season
will do we'll to learn from the experience
of those who, at considerable loss to
themselves, have demonstrated that
small trees are the ones to buy.

WoMEN's WoRK.-Rev. Thos. Beech
er, writing to the Christian Union of his
camp life in the woods, gives the follow
ing advice: Gall men ought to go to the
woods and religiously do their own wash
ing and general work-such as sewing,
cooking, house keeping and dish-washing.
The work of women is not spoken of
sensibly by men until they have done it
themselves. Gentlemen readers, it's easy
to talk But just try it on very mod
est scale once, and you will honor work
ing. women more than ever. Do as |
have donc-do wash of six pieces, and
then remember that woman turns off
two hundred pieces in a day. Look at
your watch and see how long it takes
you Look at your soap, and see how
much you have used Look at yonr
white clothes handkerchief or towel)
and see what you have done, or not
done, and never again speak harshly of
or to woman on wash-day, nor of laun-
dry work as if it were unskilled labor.
Try it. Don't talk. Don't sneer. Try it.
A sympathetic gentleman having
washed two dozen pieces will never
change his shirt again without glow
of reverence and gratitude. She did
this A similar and salutary conscious
ness will come to him who darns his own
socks, patches his trousers, splices his sus-
penders, and washes dishes. Look no:
every man upon his own things, but every
man also upon the work of woman.
Such an experience in the woods will 60
far towards settling the woman question,
by teaching us that we are all members
one of another, and there must be nc
schism."
