ORGAN.GRINDERs.-T part of the coun-
try has been over-run lately by these itinerant
foreigners. We have no ,unkind feelings to-
wards the poor fellows-but their frequent ap-
pearance is, we confess, disagreeable. It comes
too near arrant vagrancy to be tolerated by an
industrious community, when carried as now,
to undue excess. Scarcely a week passes in
which we do not see several Of these beggars,
strolling the country through with their music
machines slung behind them. Now if there
were any honor, or skill, or any merit whatev-
er displayed by them, it would not be SO bad
But there is nothing of the sort On the, con-
trary, the cracked fues Of their time.worn in.
strument's breathe forth naught but dissonant,
screeching sounds that "split a cucumber" or
kill mozart. In, this point of view, they are
nuisance-to say nothing Of the evil work they
might be guilty Of under this rowing garb.-
We cannot, with our peculiar domestic estab.
lshment, be TOO particular in reference to all
unknown birds Of passage like these, And, al
though there are among them some deserving
objects Of charity, yet the majority of them
merit no encouragement, but ratherto be frown.

JAfAN.-An editorial from the Courier du Hame
is translated by the Commercial AdpertisU, and it
affords interesting information as to some recent
action of the Dutch government upon the Japanese
question The statements are derived from an Of
fetal communication in tho Hague Couyant, the
organ Of that government. After narrating the
history of the intercourse between his late majesty
William II. and the Court of Jeddo, it is stated
that last year the request that certain Christian
governments were notified through the Dutch
agency of the determination Of the Ziogoon TO ad-
nit the return OF no shipwrecked sailors 10 any
other than Dutch and Chinese vessels, and to main
tain intact the system Of isolation and exclusion
maintained without violation for more than two
centuries. g. aE .. .'. ....' 40. "
"Since them the article proceeds, "pubc at

plane of the United States for bringing about
modification of that system The Netherlands
could not remain backward on this occasiun
Their ancient relations with japan rendered II
duty to neglect nothing which might lead the gov

its true interests The American projects offered
plausible Pretext for renewing our Efforts directly
to that end. .'
eat the beginning of the present year, the 60

a proper and dignifed manner, new steps in &C.

United States not left in ignorance Of what the
Netherlands had already done in 1914. That GO
vernment paid respect to our policy toward Japan,
when it recently invited the Dutch government to
land, through the medium of the commandant at
Desma it's official cooperation to advance the OBJ
ject OF the pacific and amicabe mission Of Commo-
dore Perry, who is instructed to sail with United
States squadron to Japan, for the purpose of en-
deavoring to obtain modification in the system of
exclusion existing in that empire
"This friendly co operation, entirely conform

lands, was promised without hesitation. On this
occasion the whole correspondence had with ia
