A Scene in New York

The ncighborhood of Broadway, near
Blocker street. witnessed on Monday after
noon the enactment of Il strange and cXcIt-
Ing scene, which has since given rise to much
curious conjecture. \ young lady, the
daughter Of one our most highly respected
citizens, whose fair fame the breath of scan
dial has never sullied on Monday afternoon,
took short walk on Broadway, to make
Il few purchases. just az she turned the
corner of Bleeckcr street into Broadway "A
carriage drove slowly past, and stopping OPP
pOste to her, she noticed two ladies upon
the inside, one of whom tapped with her fin
ger on the carriage window and bcckOncd To
her Not recognizing the persons who were
inside. one of whom continued to beckon
with her finger, she hesitated for moment
when the door Of the carriage opened and
the strange person addressed the young lady
with-"Come, sis, ret in her, we want 10 tell
YOU something" The young lady, who had
now stepped near enough To the door Of the
carriage TO discover that the persons within
were strangers to her, replied, Il do not
know you-what do you wish?' ''Oh, come
yet in. do, and we will tell You: do get ill.,
lust a moment" Mistrusting some wrong
she shrank back and pursued her way upon
the sidewalk. Shortly she was again over
taken by the same carriage, when the driver

denly opened from the inside. and the my
tcrious woman. now joined by her associate
and the driver. all bcSought her to get into
the carriage. Frightened at this last impor-
tunitv of the strangers. she fled into MILL
ner'S store near by i'll great agitation, and
related to the proprietress her strange advcn-
turp. After sitting few moments she rose
to 90. and as she opened the door of the store
she was met by the woman whom she had
seen in the carriage, who sprang ut her with
great fury. exclaiming. You b--h, you
have been staying with my husband In
an instant she had torn the beautiful velvet
hat from the young Iady's head. scratched
her face and inflicted several heavy blows
upon her face and eyes. The greatest con-
sternation prevailed during the melee; and
in the midst of the excitement, and before
the assailant could be arrested, she had fled.

Iudicial Elections.

The last number of the Rockingham Reg,
lister contains leading editorial article on
an approaching Judicial election, which re-
ceives our hearty approval, and. we are sure
will be endorsed by all right-thinking men.
We regret that we have not space for the en-
tire article, but the reader con Judge Of its
spirit by the following extract:
"If, in an evil hour, the people should ever so
80 far forget the true principles applicable to judi
cial elections and functions n TO elect Judges on
oltiral grounds it will not be long before Judges
will make decisions on poiitical grounds. and the
yery foundation of society will be shaken, if not
overthrown. In free country an upright. indie
pendent and able Judiciary is the palladium, not
merely of civil rights, but of political liberty. Let
party politics once intrude themselves on the
bench and there will be security for the rights
of person or property. Good legislation is good
thing. but sound and honest exposition and adj
ministraton of the law, is better thing. Let the
laws be ever 80 wise, unless they are wisely and
honestly administered, they will avail nothing
Let the people once lose confidence in the Courts,
and society will be shaken Ia its centre, and revo-
luton must and will soon follow.
1T is TO be hoped. then, that all good citizens
will now, and through all future time. frown down
all attempts by demagogues to drag down the
ernne of justice into the miro of party politics.

A singular scene transpired in the Essex

Peculiarities of the Japanese.

An English officer who accompanied Lord
Elgin in his visit To Japan says:
"At Simoda, Us ut Nangasaki, every one
seemed cternally to be taking notes of what
everybody else was doing. Each japanese
had his breast pockets full of note paper,
and a convenient writing apparatus stuck in
his belt. and everything that was said, done,
and even thought, was no doubt faithfully
recorded In Japan, men do not seem to
converse with one another, except in formal
set speeches; there is no interchange of
though by means of the tongue, but the
pen is ever at work noting down their obser-
vations of one another. Sometimes we saw
them comparing their notes and grunting
assent or dissent from opinions or facts re-
corded. At first we rather fell this sys-
TEN of espionage, but soon became accus-
toned to it: and provided every man wrote
down what he saw and heard, it may be
more satisfactory in the long run to have
to do with IL nation of Captain Cuttles, who
have made a note of everything, and SO
have more than their memories to trust to.
The Japanese plan of putting one man in
n post Of trust, and placing another us a
check on him, is, after all, only our red tape
system in Il less disguised form. The Gov
ernor of Simola has a duplicate in Ieddo,
who has to take turn and turn about with
him in office, so that the acts of each whilst
in authority, serve as check on the other.
Then he is accompanied, wherever he goes,
by one private and two public reporters, and
the latter forward direct to Yeddo, particu-
lars of all his acts. Their reports are, in
their turn, checked by the counter statements
of the Governor and his private secretary"

Scene in Genoa.

A gentleman of high social consideration
in Genoa, lately made the discovery that his
wife was unfaithful to him. Waiting his
opportunity, he found the guilty pair togeth-
er, and politely showed them the way to the
street door, which he closed after them. He
then sent the servant for an undertsher or
dered the arrangements for funeral, sent
out cards of invitation to his friends, and
over the empty coffin performed the ceremo-
ny for a departed wife. This over, he delly-
srsd the light burden to the hearse, and,
once moro addressing his friends, called for
their congratulations upon the fact that he
was now widower-upon which, opening
the folding doors, he introduced them 70

The Paraguay Difficulties.

We take the following from the CONNER

"IIopes of peaceful settlement of the
(Amerlcan-P Paraguay question are much
more generally entertained than previously:
Lopez, it is said, willput on warlike and
fearless demeanor in order to make the best
terms for himself, but without any idea Of
eventually coming to blows; he will cut down
the claim to its lowest limits, ratfy the form
er treaty, and promise protection and enoour-
agement to all enterprising American citizens
who may venture to trust themselves and their
schemes on Paraguay soil. How far he
may be successful in his pruning intentions
will depend upon the genius and instructions
of Judge Bowlin, who is said to be keen
Yankee every inch of him, and one not likely
to suffer himself to he oyermatched in diplo-
macy. Backed as he is by formidable
squadron under the command ola 'tre-eating'
Admiral, anxious no doubt to prove his wor-

not likely to be much disposed to abate his
demands, unless he has positive permission to
that effect from the Cabinet at Washington. !"
