It is not—at least it may not be gen­ erally known—there arc a great many things that hadn't ought to of not be generally known; if I do not fail to make myself clearly understood, bear in mind that the discussion relative to the uselessness of English grammar ns she is taught, is a great strain upon the nerves of a literary man; but whatti- wazzasain (that's volapuk) is, that it may not be generally known that the Chinese Government some years ago sent an ambassador to this country, whose sole duty is to go to a city as soon as he hears that the construction of a cable road is in contemplation. When the first car makes its trial trip, this Celestial nmbassador is required by his Government to look at it in amazement nnd say: “No pullee flont end; no pushes hind end; no mulee. no horsee; runnee likee (! !) allee samee!'' It most sorely grieves a sensible China­ man to talk in this idiotic way, but the Imperial Government oompels this offi­ cial to do this, in order to keep the American people in a good humor. He •aid it first in San Francisco; then he •aid I in Chicago; then Kansas City; then Philadelphia; then Los Angeles, Oakland, and last winter a son of old Sam Adams (proprietor of the Adams House), who was burning kibosh, a •ort of incense, before an elm tree on Boston Common, told me that the Chi­ nese said it there. “But," I said, "you have no cable cars In Boston.” The Pilgrim turned his quid of cult in Lis cheek—all the Pilgrims are great cult chewers—anil said, haughtily: "B hat of that? There is a Chinese professor in H.rvarJ Colleg .” That •truck me as a great and beautiful fruth and it impressed me profoundly.
