How they Raise Pears in Louisiana.
Froln the Nam Yorh z,.ihllnA

Gen. Sheri an has often been m staken for
the other General Of the same name. He was
at the White House once during the HAYES
administration when a delegation was an
bounced. 1t was horticultural convention
which had call to pay It's respects. Presi-
lent Hayes asked Gen. Sheridan TO accom-
pany him to the reception room, where they
engaged the ruralis.s in conversation, most of
them thinking that it was P. Fl Sheridan to
whom they were talking. Gen. Sheridan
finally became reticent, and the President
sought to e"gage him In further talk. The
conversation between them ran about like
this:
Hayes-'General, have you much fruit in
louisiana"
Sherldan--"Oh. yes. We have oranges and
aprlcots and grapes in profusion."
Hayes-"Do you have any of the hardy
Northern fruits-a pies and pears"
Sherid n-''There are a few apples raised
along the Northern boundary of the State"
Hayes-"Do you ever raise pears?"
Sheridan-'Always if we have three of a
kind"
here was a moments icy stiffness and then
big fat fruit grower, with roguish eve uh-
able to hold In. began TO smoker. and in less
that a twinkling of an eye they were ali
gufawing. The President himself laughed
with the rest.

A Chinese Claim.

The report is current in Washington
that China will soon make demand on
our government for reparation for the
losses and injuries which have been sus-
tanned by the subjects of that empire by
reason Of the many Outrages perpetrated
On them by citizens of the United States
There ia said to be some talk current
about England being an ''instigator'' of
China in the matter of making the claim,
but there seems to be an impression that
the claim, if it is made, will not be very
large, and that it will not be very vigor-
ously pressed.
1t has been often asserted that the Chi
nese government was as much opposed to
its subjects coming to America as the
Americans are to their coming, and that,
therefore, there was little disposition to
demand the same protection for the China
men that all civilized nations demand for
their people when in a foreign country. 1t
| is, doubtless, true that the high Chinese
officials care very little for the masses OF
heir people, whether at home or abroad,
but if they believe these officials can add
to their wealth and influence thereby they
will be very apt to make a claim on this
country for indemnity.
The Western powers, including the
United States, have been very prompt in
demanding OF the Chinese Government
the protection of their subjects and citi-
zens, and 1t would not seem unreasonable
tor China to require of others what they
require of her,
There is abundant reason to believe that
China can in equity hold this government
responsible for the anti-Chinese outrages.
If she should make claim for indemnity
It is difficult to see how the United States
can avoid giving it full and fair con-
sideration. Perhaps China is not in a
condition to enfO ce, with her fleets and
armies, any demand she might make, but
that fact should be considered of second
airy Importance.
From the nature OF the case 1t can
hardly be known whether England is in
stigating China to make such a claim or
not, and for the purposes of justice it is
not necessary to know. All rumors con-
Oerning the matter are doubtless the re-
suit Of mere speculation.

The race began several days ago.
The course to be sailed is from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu, and thence to Sydney,
Australia. Both vessels have high repu
JatiOn for speed. The Zealandia had two
hours the start, and will have
another advantage at Honolulu, where
the Alameda will be detained 2s
hours longer than the Zealandia
will be. The real test Of speed between
the two vessels will be between San Fran
cisco and Honolulu. The Zealandia was
built in Glasgow, is SO feet in length, 37.4
breadth and 1871 deep. She has gross
tonnage of ., 1877, and greater motive power
than the Alameda. The Alameda was
