1t is often said that living in New York is
very expensive, hut this statement will be
qualified upon investigation. To live promi-
nently or exclusively in this city, as upon
some very prominent street, and avoid ali
personal attention TO purchasing ones own
supplies, is about as dear as to live similarly in
Paris or London; but II one compares til g..

\ ~cHINAMAN's FIVE NAMES.
Names He rs Entitled to-NIcknames
ApplIed--Lnundry Names.

Ivan Phou Lee in Springfield Republican,
Every properly constituted Chinaman has
five names-the prenominR of the Romans
besides his urnnms or cognomen. Tho last
is fixed and handed down from one genera
ton to another. There are more than 800
p~atronymics known in China, not counting
those OF naturalized subjects who originated
from T~artary. Their derivation is various
and instructive, and they eInboly in their
curious hie~roglyphic shapes many u historic
truth and reference to dynastic changes.
Every male child born in China is first
called by his milk name" when he grows
old enough to attend school he takes n book
name" When he has learned the mysteries
Of composition he completes for literary
honors under an assumed name, which is
finally adopted when he successfully passes
his examinations and obtains his degree. His
equals address him by another. either coined
by themselves or adopted by him.. At his
marriage he adopts still another, called
style" In addition to those enumerated,
nicknnmes are also common. They arc all
fnnciful. We do not have any conventional
Thomas, Richard and Henry" and the rest.
All our names are words which mean some
thing and are taken from the dictionary. For
example, Yam means "by imperial favor, y
and Phou, or Foo, signifies wealth, that is,
wealth by the cmperor's favor. Girls gener.
ally have only the milk name and often.
times, especially when they have grown to
be women, they arc simply designated by
number according to tho order Of their
birth.
Interiors and juniors never address their
superiors and elders by name, but always by
some title, and children are forbidden by tn ,
canons of Confucius to mention any Of their
fathers string Of names except that which Is
given him by his equals, much less DO named
after him. In the same family no names are
ever duplicated. People who are not scholars
have only the milk name" the equality
name and, il married, the matrimonial
style Coolies and other laborers often.
times lack the equality name" al Sim
name of tho hero in Bret Harte's funny poem,
il probably n milk name,n given by the
father Of the hero when lie drew nutrimcnt
from tho fountains of infant life. Sin
means "hrst"-he was probable the first token
of his parents welded bliss. "Ah" is some
thing like tho 10 in Charlie, preixed, instead,
to add ouphony to the word "sin." Some
times it is spelled ar. 1t has no significance
OF its own.
Tho majority of the names that you see
on signs OF laundries or tea stores kept by
Cinnamon are simply fancy names adopted
for their particular significance; for Instance,
"Hop Sing" means observing of prosperity
"Woh Loongn means success through con-
cord" Nee Wah" means "integrity and har-
mony." You may say they are simply mot.
toes, having no reference to the proprietor
or tho member of n firm whatsoever.

MI. W. j. Wilson, since his sale of
cattle and ranges on the Republican, a
few days since, to an English syndicate,
has again invested in Texas Young cattle.
He will add 5000 ''rawhides to his al

The cattle men of Colorado, predicts
the LIRE Stock Record, will in all proba-
bility determine to pull down the fences
on the ranges without Whiting for govern
mental interference. There are not more
than three dozen men all told who have
fenced, and they are the best law abiding
citizens We have.
General estimates from all parts OF
Kansas indicate that in that state live
stock wintered very well. Notwithstanding
the Winter was of longer duration than
usual, and more severe than for several
years. The largest losses occurred in the
extreme western counties from insufficient
food and inadequate shelter.
EOr some time past negotiations nave
been pending for the sale of the Ham
matt 4 Hall cattle range, in the Southern
part of the state. Yesterday the bargain
was contaminated. The price obtained is
5000, 900, and the purchasers are the
Reynolds Cattle company, of Canon City.
The sale includes a fine ranch and range
and 1000 head of cattle grazing thereon.

The Livingston HcrGld SAYS that the
s~tockmen of the Yellowstone range have
given notice that the range is now full.
and that in the future they will not allow
any newcomers the privileges of the
roundup. According to the same paper,
the sworn statement of cattle belonging
TO the roundup last year was 24,OOO.
Yellowstone county includes 5000. 900
acres of land, of which not more than
$4,000 is good agricultural land; the bal
anee is all grazing land, none of it being
inaccessible or mountainous. The Vel
lowstonc range, therefore, covers about
., 500 acres of grass, which for $1,000 cat
tie, would give each animal over 40 acres
of pasturage-about five times as much as
is required at the most liberal estimate.

 "If your stage kissing on the stage is so unpleasant, Mime Patti, why don't you teach somS of the singers who are with yop how to do it?"
 "I can teach them nothing; most operatic male singers are sticks and cannot learn to act. To kiss properly on the stage While watching the conductors baton is difficult.

It was Past Telling.

There was a suit before the Justice of the Peace the other day, in which citizen of the suburbs attempted to make out that he had been swindled in a horse trade. The defandant had warranted the horse reasonably sound for a beast of his age" and the age was given at 1Syears.
 "Did you give the animals age at 1S?" was asked of the defen- dAnt.
 "I gave it as about 18."
 "What did you mean by reaso- nably sound for1hi. age?"
 "I meant that he had one leg on which there were no ringbones or spavins, and he could see pretty welt out of one eye"
 How old do you believe the horse to be"'
 "Not over 19, but I'll leave that to his Honor aud the jury"
 It was argued to adjourn to the alley and inspect the beast. They found the horse leaning up against the wall, head down and eyes full of tears, and his Honor put his age down at A. Each of the jurymen had a look at the horses teeth and eyes and feet, and they were firm in thelr figu- res, which ranged from F to 45 years of age, when the counsel for the plaintiff discovered this he said:
 "Your Honor. I desire te with draw from record everything re- lating to the horses age"
 "Why?"
 "Because. when a man like your Honor can't tell whether a horse is fifteen or hundred years old, and a jury of intelligent citizens can't distinguish a ring bone from spavin. the defen- dant can't be blamed for throw ing in a sore back and poll-evil free gratis!"

 But it was a hot one, and when the two armies got into close quarters two actors who had often played together met face to face; one with 8 Union and the other with. a secession sword in his'hand. You know what a brOadswOrd combat is?"
