WARNING TO THE LADIES. We are credibly in
formed that woman Of tall stature, with Scotch
cast Of features, rather dark hair, plain and re-
spectacle in appearance, and with demeanor so
calm and self-possessed as to deceive the most
suspicious, has recently succeeded in palming
upon more than one credulous person pieces of
dress goods Of an apparently rich and costly tex
ture Of silk and satin, bat in fact, ms has been
discovered, nothing but trash, composed almost
entirely Of cotton. Though faced with silk, so as
to present beautiful surface of the style Of bro
cades, the slightest handling soiled it. A lady
acquaintance ofours, ignorant of the manufacture
of such limitations, and pleased with the elegant
and heavy appearance of the outside, without
examining the edge or inner portion, which, to
an experienced eye, would have excited suspic-
ion, was induced to purchase a dress pattern at
price far below the market value of the genuine
article believing that she had secured great
bargain, and an elegant dress.
The woman subsequently went to the same
house to sell scarfs, and when the lady char ged
her with imposition, she cody attempted to fasten
on her victim the crime of willingly encouraging
the sale OF an article which the lady must be sure
if genuine, could not have been sold at SO re-.
duced price without being obtained unfairly or
dishonesty, and denied that she had perpetrated
a fraud, not having given to the goods any def

JAPAN.

The New York Express quotes the, follow
ing paragraph from this paper. aliuding to the
fate of the Japanese Governor, who ripped
himself up when the English vessel entered
the porl Of Nagaraki in 1910:
Tins deplorable catastrophe, we fear, will
have IFS mate whenever the American vessels
present themselves ia Japanese port. Yet
the safety and rights of our seamen must be
protected by the government.
And adds:
Well, we hope that Commodore Perry, and
all who may accompany him. as well as the
unoiiendng Port Governors of Japan, may be
delivered from the t0u kire.-but how shall we
secure the safety and rights of our seamen. !"
Will peaceable measures prevail with pow
er which requires her officers, for no fault Of
their own, literally to disembowei themselves?
VIII peaceabte measures influence a power
which torbids the return to their homes and
country OF one OF her subjects. who may have
been shipwrecked and picked up by foreign
vessel, or will powerwhich imprisons and mall

Heaven?
With regard to the method 10 which we are
to preserve the rights Of our seamen, we an.

be so implied. The tenor of our article suffi

CAYENNE.

Many Of those political exiles, hurried BY
Wholesale from France BY Louis Napoleon,
are banished to the French colony Of Cayenne,
where deadly climate awaits them and
where the means Of Subsistence are Of Difficult,
attainment. OF these banished victims, the
London Times says:
To most Of those thus abruptly torn from
their bones, their professions and their coun.
try, exile 10 total ruin. 1t has even been hint.
ed that representations Of property, and upon
the largest scale, are held tn terr0reH over the
heads OF those who may be supposed to be
most hostile to the present state Of things,
though they no longer inhabit the territory OF
France. The unfortunate wretches now on
the point of sailing for Cayenne will be landed
on q swampy island in South America, cut of
by river a league wide from the mainland
of French Guiana, situated only four degrees
north of the Equator, and utterly devoid even
of the resources Of manual industry. The
population Of Cayenne does not exceed 9, 600
whites and 5000 negroes, and the colony is
totally upprepared for the reception OF large
immigration of men who have figured in the
political and social life of France. To call
it penal settlement would be IN outrage on
the former Governments of France, for none
of them would have dared to found a penal
settlement in IN climate VIGOROUSLY destructive
to European life. 1t is bagne for liberal
opinions transported within the tropics, aud
filled with Journalists and politicians, not by
the courts Of justice. but by the authority OF
the police.

~ We attended, Sunday morning, ST. Paul's
Church where we heard mostirnpressive discourse
on the text, Search the Scriptures"
The eloquent preacher, DR. Jones. promised tina,
all who heard him believed that the Bible was the
veation of God, and that being the case would
see the necessity of looking to it for the expana.
ton OF their duty. The scriptures should be
searched with faith for the knowledge of grace.
All who wished to profit by the Word must
apply with the simplicity, and learn with the docil
ity OF children. The Bible should be consulted in
spirit OF reyerance. Too many read it as they
wouiA read the exciting pages of novel, or the
gorgeous language OF poetry. But the Bible
should be searched for the gift of eternal life 1t
Is a mine which should be worked with the whole
strength for priceless gem
The reverend gentlema an concluded in an impas.
sioned appeal to all who were present to search
the scriptures for in them they had eternal life.
Before the sermon, DR.. Jones read commuu;.
