A Chinese Legend.

From the New York Evening Mail.]
Music in China is for the most part a
solemn affair, and the legend of it's in
vention is rather amusing. Fohi whom
some experts consider to have been none
other than Noah, of watery memory, was
emperor of the Celestials some 1850
years before Christ, and enjoys the
reputation of having discovered harmony
of sound; and the Chinese believe that
bird which they call Foang Hoang in
troduced him to this knowledge. When
the emperor was in the first throes of in
spiration, SO runs the legend, the bird
appeared with it's mate and sang to him
in six different tones, making scale
containing twelve notes like our modern
chromatic. The Chinese selected five
out of the twelve which they still retain,
discarding the remainder as useless and
calling them, with their usual deprecia-
ton Of woman-kind, i" female notes. -
Such was the beauty of the first har-
monies thus revealed to mortal China
men by the heavenly bird that everyone
who listened to the melodious became
absolutely good on the spot, which
makes it seem pity that it was not pro-
longed through the ages, although the
effect might have worn off.

SeIhshness,

In the first place if you want to make
yourself miserable, be selfish. Think all
the time Of yourself and your things.
Don't care about anything else. Have
no feelings for any but yourself. Never
think of enjoying the satisfaction of see-
ing others happy; but rather. if you
should see smiling face, be jealous lest
another should enjoy what you have
not. Everyone who is better off than
yourself, think unkindly toward them,
and speak lightly of them. Be con-
stantly afraid lest some one should en-
croach upon your rights; be watchful of
it, and if any come near your things
snap at them like mad dog. Contend
earnestly for everything that is your
own that may not be worth pin. New
er yield point. Be very sensitive, and
takes everything that is said to you in
playfulness in the most serious manner.
Be jealous of your friends lest they
should not think enough of you; and If
at any time they should seem to neglect
you, put the worst construction upon
their conduct.

Tho superintendent of the mill at Philadel-

medals having the heads of Lincoln and Gar
field on opposite sides. Similar medals are also
authorized containing the head of Garfield on

:. On the S0th ult. long information was filed
in the court at Washington by counsel for the
government, against Ex-assistant Postmaster
General Brady, John L. French, chief clerk,
p. Brown, for fraudulent manipulation of mail
contracts on tho routes between Prescott,
Arizona, and Santa Fe, N. NJ. The peculations
amount, it is said, to $35O,000. The prospects
are good for an early t1ial of the conspirators.
In the last six months national banks with
capital of $5,685,000 have been organized.
The banks now hold $6o,00o,000 of 6 per cent.
extended bonds.
The President has accepted the resignation
OF Lieut.. Fred. D. Grant, of the Fourth

Among the kilograms of sympathy and con-
dOlence with Mrs. Garfield received at the State

bus, Duke of Veragua, Spain, and descendant
and representative of the great dScoverer, on
behalf of the American congress now in session
at Madrid. Secretary Hit, in the absence of
Secretary Blaine, suitably replied.

A Gratifying Exhibit

The decrease of the public debt for the quar-
ter ending the 1stinst., was tho largest for any
quarter in several years, reaching, round num-
bers,-$42, 900, 900. The reduction for Septem-
Der was almost $17 ,5OO,O 900. The average daily
reduction since the beginning of the fiscal
year, therefore has been over $3.50, 900. The
large surplus for the month is attributable to
the increased receipts and large falling off in ex-
penditures. It is probable that the suspension
during the death and obsequies of President
Garfield, caused withholding of claims against
the government, and thereby materially assist
ed to swell the surplus for the month. Obliga-
tions thus delayed will, of course, be presented
for payment during October, which will have
the effect of increasing the current disburse-
ments for this month.

quarter, being madein 34A. Down the stretch,
however, the black wonder stretched his head
straight out and flew over the ground at light
The three quarters were made in 1:35, and down
the home stretch with the wind square in his
face, he paced the last quarter in "a seconds,
and the mile in 2:12. He was heartily cheered
as he went under the wire. and it was prolonged
when he came back to tho stand, and the time
was announced at 2:12I; but it was officially
half second faster.
