THE NEWS FROM JAPAN.

The following is the late news from
japan, as reported at San Francisco by
Capt. Moorhouse, Of the schooner Page
from Simoda:
On the 11,h Of November at 10 o..
clock p. NJ, a violent earthquake oc-
CURED at Jeddo, which destroyed one
hundred thousand dwellings, fifty four
temples, and thirty thousand inhabitants
Fire broke out at the same time in thir-
~ different parts ofthe city. The earth
opened and closed over thousands OF
buildings with their occupants. The
shock was severe at Simoda. Although
the distance from Jeddo TO Simoda is
but sixty miles.i it appear that official ac-
count of the earthquake had not been
received at the latter place at the timo
of the sailing ofthe schooner Page, De-
cember 10. The news was obtained
through the Dutch interpreter. The
Japanese seemed to attach but little inn
portance to The catastrophe. The inhabi.
tants of The portion of the city destroy.
ed were forewarned of the disaster, and
many oflhem escaped. The buildings
of Jeddo are chiefly Of one story and
constructed ofvery light material. The
temples of worship, however, are lofty,
and in some instances arc constructed
| of heavy masonary. ..'.. -''
The Japanese treaty with the French
is not yet concluded. '""
There have been seventy eight arri-
walls of ships at Hakodadi since that port
was opened to foreigners. Several
whalers bad arrived during the season
There were no Japanese goods to be
obtained at tho port Of Simoda.

with ice on the Cd day Of january

Paddy's Experiment for Reducing a Fine,

An Irish weaver, just imported from
the Emerald Isle, took to his employer
in Kilmarnock Scotland } the grist cloth
ho had worn since his arrva! in this
country.
Upon examination, his employer de-
tectod two holes within half all inch OF
each other, and told him he must pay a
fine of chilling for each hole.
'An PLACE yer honor said Paddy ii

FOREIGN PAUPERs AND CRIMINALS.
Hon. John w. Thompson, one of the
Representatives from Tippah, has in
troduced bill into the lower branch
of the Mississippi Legislature to pre-
vent the Importation of foreign paupers
and criminals. This looks as if the
Democracy were edging on to the A
merican platform. Memphis Eagle.
H0~ Sag Nichtism is, chameleon
like, assuming in the North the color
Of Black Republicanism, in the South
of disunion, and in other portions of
the country it assumes to be in favor
of the great reform measures which
constitute the basis of Americanism
Its presses and orators INCREASINGLY det
nounce tho American party, heaping
upon it the lowest abuse and yilest bill
lingsgate; yet in South CarolinA q
Sag Nicht Legislature has enacted a
law requiring naturalised foreigners to
reside two years in the State as "citi-
zens of the United States" before ex-
crcising the elective franchise. Now,
the Sag Nicht Legislature Of Mississip-
pi is about enacting a law "to prohibit
the Importation of foreign paupers and
criminals" These facts demonstrate
the correctness of the principles of the
American party, and show the necossi-
ty Of some further legislation by Con-
gress to curb and restrain the influence
Of the alien population. While the
Sag Nicht presses in one section war
upon the American reformation, the
Sag Nicht Legislature arc advocating
its principles; thus not only showing
their utter dcstitution of principle, but
furnishing conclusive evidence Of the
justice of American measures.

Important from Central America

Information from official source con.
firms the fact, as previously stated, of
an alliance between San Salvador,
Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras
having been completed and those States
are now prepared to defend their own
territory as well as assist their brethren
in Nicaragua against Walkers's gov
ernment. Il is supposed that before this
fostilities have beer commenced. !, is
equally true that instructions have been
issued by severalEuropean governments
to their squadrons in the Allan tic and
Pacific oceans with reference TO events
in Central America.

DISCIPLINE AND RESTRAINT FOR THE
YoUNa.--The oldest son of President
Edwards, congratulating a friend on
having family of sons, said to him
with much earnestness, Remember,
there is but one mode of family gov
ernment. l have brought up and ed
ucated fourteen boys, two of whom
brought, or rather suffered to grow up
without the rod. One of those was my
youngest brother and the other Aaron
Burr, my sisters only son." both Of
whom had lost their parents in their
childhood; "and from both my obser-
yation and experience, / tell you, sir,
that maple sugar government will
never answer. Beware how you let
the first act of disobedience in your
little boys go unnoticed, and, unless
evidence of repentance be manifest,
unpunished." .s. AZ.
OF all the sermons I have heard,
long or short, this has been amongst
the most useful, SO far as this world is
concerned. tits solemn lesson, to
be prayerfully pondered by all parents
and guardians. The Bible lays down
four great rules, involving the four
great elements of the successful rcligi-
Gus training of children--prayer, m-
structton, e1anlpie a,cd restraint And
it Is doubted if solitary case can be
found where all these have been united
where the child has not followed in the
footsteps of the pious parent; while on
the other hand, if but one of the four
has been neglected, it may have been
the ruin Of the child.

The TWO EXTREMES. "A very emi.

"We have our full share Of pro slay-

ism. But these extremes on both sides,

cliques in comparison with the great
mass of the people on either side of Ma

81 always carry my Money Here" "

We have often laughed at tho illus
trations which we have had occasion to
encounter Of tho truth of the poets
couplet:
The faul, of our neighbors with freedom we
blame,
But tax not ourselves though we practice
the same.
A friend mentions an amusing circum-
stance corroboratiug this, of which he
was himself an eye witness.
l was standing, he said. in the rail-
road depot at Cincinnati, just as the
train was preparing to start. There
was great crowd, as usual, in the
building. and all at once man who
had put his hand in his under coat pock.
st behind to take out his pocket book to
pay his fare, exclaimed his face glowing
with excitement .......H.. ...
rvo been robbed! There are thieves
abou, here. Some william has taken my
pocket book with over q thousand dol
lars in it -
Where did you carry your pocket
book sir 2 ..... ~
In my under.coat pocket sir, behind
Then. sir, you can scarcely blame the
individual who has taken it, replied the
other, in very pompous, solf satisfied,
patronising manner. and in "voice of
warning intended for the ears Of all the
bystanders. Yes, sir, you offer if may
say SO, premium. sir, upon theft, by
carrying your money in such place. -.
Now sir, l always carry my money here
he continued, putting his hand into an
inside breast pocket of his coat and
there it is always .....'.
Safe he ,oou5d have said but he
suddenly drew out his hand as if it had
been bitten by an adder exclaiming:
why my pocket-book has gone. too
Thieves ! Thieves Let no one go out
ofths dopotp
The advice was acted upon, by doing
which both were found upon the floor,
whore they had both been dropped by
the adroit thief, who then mingled in
the large and promiscuous crowd.
The fault Of both had beet, q lack OF
personal watchfulnoss in such a place
Each had 'practiced the same; as the
sage Doghery says, they wore both in
