RdsIT To JAPAN.-Capt Mercator Cooper, of
the whaieship Manhattan, of Sagha bor has recent.
paid Visit to Jeddo, the capital of Japan, which
harbor all nations except the Dutch are forbidden TO
enter. He had found party of Japanese on an is
land, on which they had been wrecked, and he took
them to Their own country. On the way he rescued
the crew of japanese ship and carried them aIso
to Jeddo. The Emperor granted him permission 10
come up 10 Jeddo with his ship. He was, howev.
er directed to anchor under headland for the night
aud the next morning was towed up 20 his anchor
age, within a furlong of the city. The ship was
Immediately visited by great number of people, of
all ranks, from the Governor Of Jeddo and the high
officers attached to the person Of the Emperor, ar
rayed in golden and gorgeous tunics, to the lowest
menals Of the government, clothed in rags.
Neither the officers were allowed to go
out of the ship. The ship was surrounded and
guarded by three circular barriers of boats Each
circle was about an hundred feet asunder aud the
inaer about one hundred feeu from the ship In
the first circle the boats were tied with hawser so
compacty that their sides touched each other, and
that nothing could pass between break through
them. There were nearly thousand armed boats
decorated. during the day, with banners and glitter
ing spears, at night with lanterns,a nd when the caps
tain left the harbor these boats towed him twenty
miles out to sea.
courteous leave was then taken Of him, and the
captainlef, highly gratfed with the result of the
adventure among these secluded but highly civilized
people. Among the articles taken frcm the wreck
Of the Japanese ship were rome charts of the prn-
cpai islands composing the Empire said to be some
OF the most interesting specimens of geographical
art and literature which ever wandered from the
shores of Eastern Asia. 4 s sAa..a 5

PRINTERS TRIALs.-A son of the Emerald
Isle once came into office, with The request that
we should print him single copy of the Catholic
Blble-the Protestant version being unsuited TO his
notions. He generously offered us fifty cents for the
trouble, but couldn't make him comprehend how
it would cost nearly as much to print single copy
as a thousand. He went away grumbling about
Protestant intolerance.
Here is horse of different color. A gawkey
came staggering into the office some months since,
and inquired if we could Sprint picter'' Of his
horse. OF course we could. Thereupon he com.
menced: swell, print him 16 hands high, well
muscled, splendid action, dark bay, with white
spot on his forud.' He had us there Greensbarg
