nSssTHE GEEYTowN AFFAIR.-Thc press is
tceming with accounts of this affair, and COM
ments thercupon As no two versions of the
story are alike, it is difficult to ret at the truth
Of the matter As near as We can get at it the
following is correct:
Greytown is, or was n small village of be-
tween four and FIVE hundred inhabitants. situa-
ted at the mouth Of the San Juan river, in Cen
tral America; the point where frcigh and pas
sengers to California, by the Nicaragua route
are transferred from the ocean to river steam
erS. The town has obtained IN uncnyable no.
torcty by plundcring travellers, and the most
extortionate charges. Ten or twelve Amcri-
cans reside there, twenty-five English who
control it, and dozen French and Germans.
The balance of the population is made up of
Indians and Jamaica negroes. Thev are under
no government and, by travellers, are ranked II.
thieves. 1t was here that the steamer Prone
theus Was fired into by British man-of- war,
and compelled to pay to the authorities of the
t1wn an unjust claim Of $1,000. The Transit
Company in order to do away with this annoy
ancc, built warehouses on the opposite side Of
the river As this intcrfered with the people
OF the town, by giving them no opportunity to
plunder, they destroyed the buildings and the
goods stored therein. Recently, Capt Smith

that the killing Of the negro by Capt Smith
was unjustitiable. When Borland arrived nj
Greytown, he was arrested, mobbed and i'm
prisoned. $4,000 was demanded for the los,

SCHOOL BOOKS.

'Ot making many books there is no end"
Ihls Old saying is most literally true of
schoel-books. Their multiplication is no doubt
attended with many advantages. The improve
ment in this kind of books in their real adam
tation to their end, has been very great since we
were school-boy, and even since we began the
teachers art. But with all the good there are
some evils, and Of these we speak.
One Of the first is, want of uniformity in
books of neighboring schools, and of schools of
lower and higher order. Not only schools in
the same county, but those in the same town.
ships ana In ADJOINING dlstrcts nuvc olncrcn,
sets Of books, and pupils passing from one tc
another must procure new set of books. The
same difficulty exists, and is to be met in the
same way, when pupil leaves his district te
enter some Academy, Grammar School, Higl
School, Seminary or College.
Another which we consider the greatest evil
is the injury to the scholarship of Pupils. Whel
scholar has studied certain author for
time, he understands his mode of thinking anc
reasoning, his phraseology, and has memorizec
many Of his definitions, axioms, theorems anc
rules. Heis prepared to progress and complet
the subject with that same author, with inter
est and profit. And having completed the stud,
and made himself master of one author, HI
might, at a subsequent period, review that sam
subject profitably, with another author. Blu

JAPAN AND THE Rum TRAFFIc.-A sug-
gestion has been made in New York
paper, that extensive preparations are
about to be made to open u liquor trade
10 Japan during the next year; and, it is
supposed that the japanese who were
feasted by Commodore Perry, have been
somewhat prepared for the Introduction
of"rum punch and brandy smashes"-by
the toasts which were drunk on that occa-
tion. In. reference TO this subject, the
Philadelphia Ledger we'll remarks:
"Truly, it seems that if something be
not done in this matter Japan may yet
curse the day that Commodore Perry's
flag first appeared in its waters. 1t is a
curious fact that the first evidences which
pagan countries receive of civilization and
christianity are missionaries and whiskey
barrels and they often in the same ship.
The morals of trade are sadly below the
Chrsrtian standard, and the mischiefs
which the latter inhict by sending whis>
ky among the people to whom it is un.
known,or w,hwhom it is unused, must be
great obstacle to the efforts to propagate
the principles of a pure religion among
them. Rum, The curse of.he world seem
to dis.roy the moral sense of those who
deal in it, and nation will be debauched
that n few dealers may revel in the prof.
its of such ill.gottou wealth.

MEETING OF THE FINAHCIERs.-- While
Schuyler was manufacturing Spurious
New Haven stock, Kyle was likewise
conterfeiting Herlem stock, but they were
mutually ignorant of zach Others forger-
les. They are related one day to have met
each other, at a counter to make an ex-
change of stocks al the request of Schuy-
ler, whose reason why he wished his
friend Kyle 10 give t. m some Harlem for
New Haven was, that the market for the
latter was weak; and he was, therefore,
desirons TO keep it out of tie street. Ills
real motive was to get good preferred
Harlem shares for his counterfeit New
Haven.
But, n'as' Kyle, who wished to get good
New Haven for his conterfei,s, was a
match for him for on receiving the re-
quest of Schuyler, he went right off and
manufactured cough Harlem stock to
satisfy the order. Now.'if any one had
known at the lime the knavery of both,
and been n spectator of the scene at the
counter, where each was tickling himself
that he was ovcrreachng his good friend
by getting good shares for counterfeit, it
would have made his sides shake with
laughter. Only think Of two villains
meeting to cheat each other, and chuck>
ling TO have accomplished it, when both
were, after all, confoundedly mis- aiken. -
1t was as rich scene as was ever painted
or described
