Being NeighhOrly.

There are people who seem to base friendship on b0rroapi19g 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 Mer- cd,ttiic Journal:
 He WAS small boy, with dirt on his nose and faded straw hat on his head, and feet so long unwashed that 1t was hard to tell where his toe-nails were To- cated He walked boldly mp 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, I can't" she gasped out.
 ''We'll bring it back in half an hour. D
 "But I can't lend it ,child. You don t seem to know what telephone is. Who are you ?"
 "We live around the corner-i1lst moved in, and we want to be neighborly. I tried to borrow your wheelbarTow and shovel, but your boy wouldn't lend 'em, and our hired girl has been over to bor- row tea and sugar and couldn't 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 to run right in with your old clothes on. .

John Chinaman in Court.

Many amusing stories are told of the way in which Chinamen give evidence ill Christian courts of justice. In England 1t is the cusom to break delicate china saucer over the head of the Chinese wit ness; and this is supposed to insure truth-telling. There was a Chinese wit ness in trial which was recently held in San Francisco. The judge, evidently not being quite satisfied that the witness understood the object of the form he had just gone through, asked him, as is usual in such cases, if he understood the na- ture of an oath.
 Perfectly" replied the witness with the utmost confidence '1 know if l tell lie every man in the court will be damned"
 An equally amusing illustration of the ignorance of the Chinese in the matter oi our judicial oath was furnished some time ago by the native usher in the Con- sular Court at Shanghai. He was ob. served to be making m anxious search for some missing object; and on being questioned by the Judge, he stated thai he was looking for the little book which is given to the witnesses to smell And this man had been for eighteen years usher of the court!

 7. Give the vine plenty of manure, old and we'll decomposed for fresh manure excites the growth, but does not ma- ture it.
 3. Luxuriant growth does not insure fruit.
 4. Dig deep but plant shallow.
 5. Young vines produce beautiful fruit, but old vines produce the richest.
 6. Prlne in autumn to insure growth, but in spring to promote fruitfulness.
 7. Plant your vines before you put up trellises.
 8. Vines, like old soldiers, should have good arms.
 3. Prune spurs to one developed bud for the nearer the old wood the higher favored the fruit. 10. Those who prune long must soon climb.
 II. Vine leaves love the sun; the fruit the shade.

On the Rail.

The Atlanta Constitution says "We stopped rather suddenly" said Dr. Raines, "when the two trains met on the track just this side of Rome. For my part l went head foremost under the seat that was just in front of where I was sitting. The most singular thing that | witnessed was just across the aisle from me. There were two men, sitting one directly behind the other, and in front of them was an ,lnoccupfed seat. When the engines struck, the man in front turned a complete somersault and lit in the va cant seat just exactly as he sat in the other seat. The other man performed exactly the same feat, and lit in the seat lately occupied by his neighbor.'

Alive in Her ShrOud.

The Fort Wayne Gasettc says: One afternoon lately Mrs. w. l.. Petit, wife of the teller of the First National Bank of Fort Wayne, apparently died, and the undertaken took charge of the body. Ar engagements were making for the funeral, and watchers sitting with the supposed corpse. At 10 o'clock at night a faint sigh was heard coming from the body. The watchers started to their feet with alarm, stepped to her side, found her eyes were wide open, while ill a voice that was scarcely an audible whisper she recognized them and asked for her hus- band. For moment the attendants were speechless with wonder at the resur- rection of the dead then, with the revu- sion of feeling, they almost screamed with excitement. The husband came in haste, and with joy unspeakable clasped again his living wife ill his arms. The doctor was sent for, and he was as much astonished as the rest of the household at beholding living what in his exact medical science he had declared dead. He admin istered the proper restoratives, and the patient rapidly recovered.

THE UNITED STATES ARMY.
GEN. sHERMAN's VIEWS ABOUT IT.
He Wants More Men for the Army, and 1t will
 Cost More Money.

Gen. Sherman in his report for the past year, says that the fear of exceeding the limit of %, GOO men in the army, or the difficulty of enlisting men in these prosperous times, has kept the army below what the honor or the necessity of the country demands, and he advises change of the limit to 30,OOO. The troops during the transition period on the frontier, he says, have lived in holes ill the ground, in houses made of green cottonwood logs, infested by vermin, in temporary shanties, generally without n murmur; but now this battle with poverty is over, or nearly so, and he appeals to Congress to confer on the President, the Secretary of War; or on board of general officers, the power to designate the places of strategic importance at which to erect suitable permanent buildings for properly quartering the troops.
 Under the head of "Courts Martial" he says: {" l invite your attention to the report of Gen. Mcdowell, who instances how we cling to old notions prohibiting courts martial from sitting after 3 o'clock p. m. because 100 years ago, in England, officers wore wont to dine and get drunk at that hour. Now we dine when we can, keep sober all the time, and there IS no reason why courts martial should not sit all night if necessary to reach verdict, the same as civil jury.
 "There was q loss to the army by de- sertion of 3,741. This Is most serious matter. The chief cause is that most ot the recruits in New York or the larger cities, are transported to the West, where by assertion, at little risk of capture and punishment, they obtain the highest wages. The remedy will be found in q more liberal treatment of good soldier and more certain punishment of the deserter. I therefore recommend that the pay of enlisted men be restored to | what it was ill 1865, and that the punish | ment for desertion be more clearly de- fined by law and increased in severity. Aggravated cases during active cam paigns or in the Indian country should be treated as capital, as is done under almost every civilized government He advises spending more money on the | military schools

To Make Postage Cheaper.
THE POSTNIASTER-GENERAL OUTLINES A PROJECT HE WILL DISCUSS IN HIS RE PORT.


 Postmaster-G General Howe was asked whether 1t is his intention to recom- mend reduction of the rate on letter postage, he answered: "While I have not finally decided not to recommend a re- duction, | must say that I do not believe the public generally feel the three-cent rate to be a burden. Among the many facts which have perhaps influenced my opinion l may instance the condition of affairs on the Pacific slope, where a pri- vate express company (Wells, Fargo X Co.) are carrying good part of the mail under tive-cent rate. They profess" he said, "to buy our stamped envelopes to meet the requirements of law that full postage shall be paid, and add their own private stamp. The people of that sec tion give as their reason for patronizing private concern instead of the govern ment machinery, that they thus secure greater speed and security, but this I am not prepared to admit The real reason is probably force of habit, inasmuch as the express company had perfected their mail system years before the govern ment service was begun upon that coast.
 "I am at present pondering over Q scheme" continued Judge Howe, "that I shall probably recommend in my report unless serious objections should here after occur, by which I think the public would be greatly benefited, with small loss to the Government. Simply stated, it is to encourage the use of stamped envelopes, instead of adhesive stamps. The saving would occur in the following manner: The great bulk of letters that come to the Dead Letter Office is made up of letters which are either not stamped at all or upon which 8 full rate has not been paid Of course 1t would not be possible to have such a class If only stamped envelopes were used, and the expense of returning such matter to the Dead Letter Office, and it's subsequent handling, is an item of magnitude. The plan is to sell the stamped envelopes at the present price of adhesive stamps, which would practically amount to a reduction of one cent to the class of people who most need it. Figures that I have by me show that the cost of manrl- fracture would decrease the revenues of the department by about $2,OOO, ,0OO, whereas the reduction of the rate to two cents would mean decrease of $15, ,OOO, GOO. I am not certain either that the saving from the reduction of expenses in the Dead Letter Office will not about balance the account" He said in regard to the proposed establishment of postal telegraph system that it was we'll known that his personal opinions for many years have been strongly in favor of the proposi- ton,

NHE WoRTD'S LARGEST LANDOWNER

THE WORLDS LARGEST LANDOWNER. - The Arizona CItisen says: Daniel Mur phy, who lately died, was a pioneer, he having come to California in 1S44. His business ever since he came to California has been stock raising. He first had large tracts in the south end of this county, and as his herds grew he went into the San Joaquin valley. The "no fence" law forced him to take his cattle to Nevada. He owned also about 200,- GOO acres of land ill that State when he died, and 6,OOO,OOO in the State of Du- rango, Mexico, and large tracts in Ari- zona, and was, at the time of his death, the"largest landowner in the world.
