Being Neighborly.

There are people who seem to base
friendship on 6orro,cing as long as you
will lend to them. Neighbors of that
stamp illustrate the impudence that de-
mands without consideration, and the
familiarity that breeds contempt. We
find the following in the New York
Mercantile Journal:
He was a small boy, with dirt on his
nose and faded straw hat on his head,
and feet so long unwashed that it was
hard to tell where his toe-nails were To-
Gated. He walked boldly up the steps,
pulled the bell, and when the lady came
to the door he said,-
"Say, can You lend me your telephone
for few minutes =
"Why, | can't she gasped out.
"Well bring it back in half an
hour "
"Bu, ! can't lend it, child You
don't seem to know what telephone
is. Who are you 7"

EN-, and our hired girl has been over

get any. We kinder thought we might
borrow your telephone or something
and ma would bring it back and get a
chance to see your style and ask you

he states has snow for twenty years
been laboring under the disabilities
and penalties inflicted upon him by the
court martial of 1862, all that time con-
tending for q restoration TO his posi-
ton 10 the army and in society, and
always, as stated in the beginning OF
this article, on the ground OF his entire
innocence. The investigation of the
Schofeld board has, in my judgment,
established his Innocence for all the
offenses for which he was tried and
convicted. The sufferings of twenty
years, under such findings, for himself
and family and friends, is something it
is now impossible to set right. Twen-
ty years Of the best part of his life have
been consumed in trying TO have his
name and reputation restored before
his countrymen. In his application
now before Congress,he is asking only
that he may be restored to the rolls OF
the army, with the rank that he woulb
have if the court-martial had never
been held. This, in my judgment, is
very small part of what it is possible
to do in this case and of what ought to
be done. General Porter should, in
the way of partial restitution, be de-
clared by Congress to have been con-
victed on mistaken testimony, aud,
therefore, to have never been out of
the army"
After declaring that in writing as he
has upon the subject, he means no crit
icism upon the court which tried Gen
eral Porter, nor upon the officers under
whom or with whom he served, Gener-
al Grant concludes with the following
paragraph:
'Tf solemn and sincere expression
of my thorough understanding of and
belief in the entire innocence of Gener-
al Porter will tend to draw the public
mind TO the same conviction, / shall
feel abundantly rewarded for my
efforts. 1t will always be pleasure
to me, as well as duty, to be the in
| strument, even in the smallest degree,
of setting right any man who has been
grossly wronged, especially if he has
risked his life and reputation in de-
fense of his country. feel, as stated
on a previous occasion, double inter
est in this particular case, because, di-
rectly after the war, as general of the
army, when l might have been instru-
mental in having justice done to Gen
eral Porter, and later as President of
the United States, when I certainly
could have done so, 1 labored under

How to Mount your steed, and What to Do
Having Once Mounted.

In mounting face the near side Of
the horse The near side is the side
nearest yourself. If you stand on the
right side of the horse, which is the
wrong side when you mount, you will
face the crupper. Then everybody will
know that your name is Johann Gotlieb
Ernsigefolger.
If you cannot mount from the
ground, lead the horse to high fence,
say, "Whoa" two or three times, and
jump over the horses ears. You will
light somewhere on his neck, and you
will have plenty of time to adjust
yourself while the horse is running
away. Another method of mounting,
largely practised by young gentlemen
from the city, is to balance yourself on
one foot on the fence, and point the
! other leg at the horse in the general
direction of the saddle, saying "Whoa"
all the time. The horse, after this
gesture has been repeated few times,
backs away, pulls the alleged rider off
the fence, and walks up and down the
lane with him at rapid gallop. This
gives the rider in about ten minutes all
the exercise he wants for a week.
If by some miracle you manage to
get into the saddle, hold on with both
hands and say "Whoa." The faster
the horse goes the tighter you must
hold on, and the louder you must
"holler"
If you are from New York or Phila-
delphia, you will shorten the stirrups
until your knees are on level with
your chin. Then, as you ride, you will
rise to your feet and stand in the atti-
tude of man peering over a fence To
look for his dog, and then suddenly fall
in the saddle like a man who has
stepped on a banana peel This is the
English school. 1t is hard on the
horse, but is considered very graceful.
A man cannot wear false teeth, how.
ever, and ride in this manner.-B'Irl
