Post correspondent. "FT example, we
know that there are certain cereals
cultivated on the headHaters Of the
YangtSe river, at an elevation Of l3,-
900 feet above the levelbf the sea; they
grow wheat there in some places at an
altitude of 1900 feet, whereas in this
country very little can be raised at al
elevation of 5000 feet, and that Is IN
Arizona. where it is very warm. But
the real test of the ability Of the Chi

comparison of cereal elevations with
the timber line. They raise wheat
within 1900 feet of the timber line On
the plateau of rurkestaa. While III ar

Arizona would mean substantially the
same climatic conditions as 1000 feet
below the timber line in New Eng

nese raise wheat withiA 1900 feet OF
that line. we mean th,tt they have de-
veloped a strain which is far more re-
sisting of cold and drought than any
thing we have in Europe or North

older than ours that the gradual de-

Another story that Vest told related to
his candidacy for the Legislature in 1861
against a. S. Walker, says a writer in
the St. Louis Republic. The canvass was
exceedingly exciting because of the near
approach of war, and all questions incl
dent to IL were discussed with much ami
nation. Both sides knew that about six
votes either way would determine the
contest, and on the day before election
Walker raised the point on Vest that ne
had stolen some pigs. The only way that
Vest could meet the charge was to ac-
knowledge smilingly that he had the pigs
in his pen and in his possession. If he
had gone further and said that he had
bought them-which they hoped he would
do-they had witnesses to show that he
had not bought them but Vest was too
shrewd to be caught in the trap, and
turned the accusation off with laugh and
the remark:
q" one came account for the way his
boys get pigs"

Gen. WOIseIcy in "a Hole.

Lord Wolseley was in his twenties and
had only been in the army three years
when he passed through probably the most
exciting experience of his life, says the
Waverly Magazine. The incident occurred
in Burmah, Wolse,ey being told off with a
small detachment to cover certain point
in a skirmish In the heat of the ad-
vance the young subaltern had the i'll luck
to fan into a deep hole When he crawled
out he found himself on the enemys side
As he emerged from cover he was met by
such shower Of bullets that he lost no
time in sliding back into his hole.
Thinking him dead, the Burmese sharp
shooters ceased firing, and, after a mau-
vaise quart deheure, Wolseley made an
other attempt to eXtrcate himself from his
position. Amid the smoke of some Vigor-
Gus volley firing he emerged from mis- per-
ilous prison and ran for his life. He was
$50 yards from the British line, and he de
clares that he ran on expecting every mo-
ment to be perforated with bullets. He
escaped however, although severely
wounded a less fortunate comrade falling
dead within a few inches of the future

There has all along been a strong senti-

that under the Clayton Bulwer treaty
Great Britain would have some ground

however, that no objection would be

MRs. HOWE ON "HIGH SOCIETY,

Eighty years old, famous, and stil men
tally vigorous, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe ocz
cupies a position from which she feels
that she can with impunity criticise the
manners and customs of the present day
and times. A few days ago she addressed
the League of Unitarian Women in New
York on the progress of the century in
manners. From the general tone and
trend of her remarks it is to be gathered
that she does not think there has been
any progress in manners, but on the other
hand rather a retrogression, towards fop-
pishness on the one hand and coarseness
on the other, since she was a young wo-
man. The modern aristocracy she de
clares to be aping foreign customs and
ambitions. 'In Aesop's fable" she said,
the ass put on the lions skin, but in
our modern society the American lion
would gladly be mistaken for the Euro
pean ass and has, here and there, ac-
quired the foreign bray"
In the days of Mrs. Howe's young wo-
manhood it was considered the correct
thing for a maiden to be a demure little
puss-in-a-corner and if she could acquire
a little invalidism it was believed to make
her all the more interesting 81 remember
at school," said Mrs. Howe. "of envying
the girls who tainted away" But such
girls have gone out of fashion now. The
girl of the period is athletic Nov you
see these siX-footers among your young
women, with their eyes backened from
playing basket ball. The granddaughter of
a friend of mine only the other day had
her nose broken in some athletic sport.
The body is now considered a most i'm
portaut member of society"
Formerly the wits of the young women
were trained for polite repartee and satire,
but satire is not so common in society
as it was" The young women of the
times would much prefer to talk about
bicycles. horses, golf, basket ball. rowing,
yachting and sometimes even the latest
prize fight than about tea parties, the
poets and the latest sentimental songs.
1t may be that from Mrs. Howe's point
OF view the times are terribly degenerate.
Ones ideas of correct department and
manners become fixed early in life, and
they do not change with the changing
years as old age creeps on, And then,
too, the retrospective look from eighty
years of age to the days of twenty years
of age is more than apt to be somewhat
defective, owing to the glamour that lapse
of time has thrown around the earlier
recoliections. In short Mrs Howe, who
has labored for the advancement of the
race. has lived TO see II advanced beyond
her, for it cannot be successfully ques-
toned chat the true basis OF manners is
better understood now than # was sixty
years ago. and that modern life has gained
in many desirable ways since Mrs Howe
made her debut into society.
