JAPANESE Al SCHOOL.

An American at Jeddd who had establish
ed a school Of a dozen japanese young men,
writes to the New York journal ot Commerce
an account Of their PROCESS They appear
to be apt scholars. They found English
Grammar rather difficult and barbarous, but
other things they learned with rapidity.
"The next study wai Arithmetic. which
was no study at all, for they seemed to under
stand it by intuition. like the Chinese, the
Japanese use calculating machine, with
which they solve questions with astonishing
rapidity and accuracy, lCading Inc to suspect
that they would be pfejudiced against the
Arabic figures and syitem Of Computation,
or. if they were willing to adopt them. that
they would work with them awkwardly and
vexatiously. To my sirprise and delight,
they needed but little Instruction, when they
walked through the Arithmetic like old ex-
perts They had neyer.seen slate or pencil I;
and when they were given to each OF them,
and they saw the economy, as well as the con-
venience, above the calculating machine. and
hair pencils. ink, and paper, they were as hap
py as though they had received fortune.-
The Japanese have little Of the poetical tenn
perament; but they are well endowed with
the bump Of good common sense and practi-
cal Judgment, and cannot fail to excel In
mathematics and the mechanic arts.
"Geogrophy next came up, which was the
more interesting 90 them from having IN my
possession a good supply Of the best maps
which were spread ont before them as the
study was pursued. The Dutch had given
them the most extravagant ideas of Holland,
while the United States had hardly been heard

REVIVAL IN TRETANn

Correspondence Of the New York Courier & Enquirer
DUBLIN, May 81 In the center of county
Antrim movement is in progress which puz-
zles some and delights others. 1t began in
the parish Of Connor, extended to Ahoghill
thence to Ballymena, and now it pervades the
whole central part of the county. In many
respects it resembles what we read of as taxi
ing place in many parts Of America, under
the name of "Reyiyals." Half dozen per
sons are "struck, during the time Of public
worship; cry out under a deeply distressing
convictions Of sin; arc prostFated in body
for time are restored and enjoy peace.
This, often without anything unusually ex-
citing in the sermon; often to the Interrupt
ton of the public worship; aud this in sew
eral Protestant denominations. But, without
this physical affection and as the result of
prayer meetings held by the laity, the feeling
OF distress on account Of sin followed by
crying for mercy, and then sense Of high
spiritual enjoyment, peryades thousands. -.
The churches cannot contain the crowds that
flock to worship prayer meetings are held
in the streets and fields and change has
come over the morals of the whole country.
Sabbath-prolanation, card-playing. drunken
ness, and general irreligion, have given place
to public worship, crowded churches, sobri-
ETY., and religious dccorum.
The medical men are at fault as to the cause
of the physical conyulsons,-probably not
taking a right estimate of the effect Of mighty
mental feeling, however produced, and in
reference to whatever objects, upon certain
physical temperaments, ,-and the Roman Cath
olic priests ascribe it to Satanic agency, as

How SHALL SUCCESS BE AssURED.--In
an able article on the prospects and duties of
the Opposition, tho South Bend lind y Regis
ter, edited ay Hon Schuyler Colax, thus
answers the question:
I'VE counsel no surrender Of principle, no
abandonment of our organization, no overture
to unite with any portion Of the opposition
who may profess to be more pro-slavery than
the Democracy themselves but we protest,
if it can be avoided, against there being again,
as in 1856, division of the opposition in the
States which are to decide the Presidential
contest and renewal thereby of the lease
Of the ill-used power which our opponents
have thus obtained. Hundreds of thousands
of voters not vet enrolled in our ranks, sym
pathize with US in our desire to prevent the
extension of slavery beyond its present linn
its and to be more particular, we allude to
those men of whom Horace F. Clark, Has
kin, Hickman, Broderick, &c, are the type
ON the one hand, and Edward Bates, John
Bell, John Morris and Washington Hunt are
the type on the other Shall we foster and
promote their Union with us in the work of
oyerthrowing Democracy, or shall we repel
all union, and from an overestimate, perhaps,
Of our own strength. hazard success that,
with wise counsels, is already in our grasps
We differ somewhat from those ardent CO.
temporaries who demand the nomination of
their iavorite 'representative-m whether
popular or unpopular, and who insist that
this must be done, 'even if we are defeated.
We do agree with them in declaring that we
shall go for no man who does not prefer free
labor and its extension to slave labor and its
extension, who, though mindful of the i'm
partiality which should characterize the Ex-
ecutive of the whole Union, will not fail to
rebuke all new plots for making the govern
ment the propogandist of slavery, and com
pei promptly and efficiently the suppression
of that horrible slave trade which the whole
civilized world has banned as infamous, pirat-
ical and accursed. But in Republican Ma
tional Convention, If any man could be found,
North, South, East or West, whose integrity,
whose life, and whose avowals, rendered him
unquestionably safe upon these questions,
and who could yet poll one, two, or three
hundred thousand votes more than any one
else, we believe it would be both wisdom and
duty, patriotism and policy, to nominate him
by acclamation and thus render the contest
an assured success from its very opening. In
a word, If heroic old Zack Taylor were alive.
although he ght not be technically straight
Republican, we should most sheerfully vote
for him for President, as we did once before .

TV'I suppose that one of the severest trials
of a sordid man is that which is caused by
the disgust he feels in the society OF his own

four hours from the consciousness oftheir own

SwEARING.-Of all the crimes that ev-
er disgraced society, that of swearing ad-
mits of the least pallation. No possible
benefit can be derived from it, and moth
ing but perverseness and depravity of hui
man nature would ever have suggested it /;
yet such is its prevalence, that by many it is
mistaken for fashionable requirement, and con-
sidered by unreAecting persons as indicative
of energy and decision OF character.
CV' Wisdom is the olive which springs
from the heart, blooms in the tongue, and
bears fruit in the actions.

Cousin Alice Lake eagerly echoed my words

we were lounging away the pleasant summer

stood on the turnpike half mile from our
