0LTThe Douglas Mass Meeting, on Friday
week, though not quite so imposing in num-
bers as tho meeting of the other wing ~
on the preceding Wednesday, was still
| very respectable turnout: much better
one indeed than we expected to see.
| While. however 1t did not equal in display
| the Turnout o! the Brock inridgers, it far en-
| caedcd the latter in the more solid and intel
lectual treat that it furnished at the stand
during the afternoon, and in the Court House
at pight. The speakers from abroad -
Mcssrs. MaLlsby and Spencer, of Maryland,
and Ex-Mayor Yaux, of Philadelphia, made
telling appeals in favor of non,interventi0n,
| arguing that since the Cass-Nicholson letter,
this had been the avowed policy of the demo-
cratic party, and, per consequence, that the
Little Giant was not the hereto in the pres
ent issue between the two wings. However
much we may differ from the Douglas
wing upon the question of Popular Sovereign
ty, we cannot bu. admit that the speech of
TX. Mayor Naux, almost all of which we had
the pleasure, and it was a pleasure, TO hear,
was an eloquent and mastery effort in behalf
of this Distinguishing feature Of the Douglas
party.
Gen. Maulsby was particularly severe in
his opening, the only part Of his speech that
we were permitted to hear, upon old line

party within the last eight years, were now -,
as Breckenridge Democrats, attempting to
impose their views of territorial policy upon

from such modern democrats, he said Our
bleckites know pretty well who the General
was after, we suppose. A good many old

ANOTHER StsrtR TAKEN. Havana dates

OF SOo negroes, when the vessel was at once
sent at sea. with full steam on, the valves

she would speedily founder; but instead Of
that She went ashore which led to her capture

slave traders have actually introduced steam

gD'-it is sufficient to say in reply to the
assertions of ExGov Pratt, and demo-
cratic organs here, or elsewhere, as to John
Bell Is having charged Henry Clay with bar.
gam and corruption, that in 1889 Mr.. Bell
wrote and published the most unanswerable
defence Of Mr.. Clay, and refutation of this
change OF bargain and corruption that has
ever been written. Further than that, Mr..
Bell, as Clay Elector in 1911, produced the
letter, written in 1927, in which it was
charged he had accused Clay, and read it to
meeting in borough, Tenn, proving
conclusve'y as the report of the speech then
made will show, that the charge of bargain
and corruption against Mr.. Clay was not con.
fo'hed in the letter. And more than that,
Mr. Bell was the firm and fast friend of
Henry Clay to the day of his death

A Female SWindler,

We learn from the Cincinnati Enquirer of
May 18th that on the day previous well.
dressed and handsome lady alighted from car
riage in front of one of the largest and most fash
lonable dry goods houses in that city, and enter
ing the store, asked 90 be shown some shawls.
After looking over the stock she selected one
worth forty dollars, handing the salesman in
payment hundr ed-dollar bill, of the genuine
ness of which the cashier expressed some doubt
and submitted it to an expert in such matters,
who pronounced it perfectly good. The change
was then handed TO the customer, when she
pointed out some blemish in the shawl which
had not previously been observed, and declined
to take it, demanding the return of her money,
which IVES done, and the bill OIL CO more placed
in her neat little portmonnaie, from which il
had but minute before been extracted.
The attentive clerk, somewhat disappointed
at missing the sale, politely insisted upon her
again looking over the stock, telling her he
did not doubt she could be suited, and regret
ting he had not duplicate of the one she had
first chosen. She readily consented, and SEEM
ing desirous Of making purchase, but after
once more examining the assortment, conclu.
ded &hat none would answer her purpose
When about to leave she offered the salesman
thirty-three dollars for her first selection, which
owing TO the blemish, he thought best to accept
notwithstanding rule of the house that nc
goods should be marked down. The shawl was
then neatly enveloped, the hundred dollar bill
again brought forth, and the change carefully
put away, when the lady stepped into the car
riage and was rapidly driven away.
A few hours later, whea the cashier went tC
TO bank ne was surprised to learn that the hun
dred-dollar bill was counterfeit. The truth
flashed upon him in an instant. The lady haC
given the salesman genuine bill the first time
and afterwards substituted for the counterfeit
She is an entire stranger, has not been seer
since. and probably never will be again, at leas

The JAPANESE EMBAssY.-The Embassy now
in Washington is the second that has ever left
Japan. The first was to Pope Gregory XIII.
in 1854, when the King of Bougo, with those
of Arina and Omura, islands OF Japan, sent an
embassy 10 Rome, TO lay at the feet ofthe Pope
the homage and obedience ofthe Christian Kings
of Japan. Two Princes were on this Embassy.
The voyage TO Europe was a prosperous sne,
and they arrived in Portugal two years after
their departure from Nagasaki, having stopped
in India or their way. They were received in
Lisbon with great ceremony, and multitudes OF
the people fiocked to tho churches to see them
They had a similar option at Madrid, where
King Philip the Second came personally to pay
his respects to them. Pope Gregory gave them
public reception in Rome, and all the foreign
persons of distinction Joined ir the procession
The knighthood of the Golden Spurs was con-
ferred upon the Princes; the Pope put on th,
sword and girdle and the Ambassadors Of Franc,
and Spain buckled on tae spurs. They wer,
conducted back with similar ceremony, They
returned to Nagssa XII 10 1890. The two Prince
became Christian missionaries, and one OF then
sealed his religious profession with his blood
when the Japanese expelled the Jesuits, ant
shut themselves out from all foreign intercourse
Various attempts have been since made to re
open communication with the Japanese. Tw
embassies. sent by Russia, have failed TO obtai
; an entrance into the country.
