nag- AT the ball given to Lord Renfreu at

R1- At the ball given to Lord Renfrew at
the Academy ofMusic, New York, the Prince
opened the dance with the lady Of Gov.
Morgan. Richly dressed, possessed of all the
grace and dignity be fitting her station as
The wife of the Chief Magistrate of the En-
pire State, she represented something more
than official station. She was the exemplar
of American life, progress, industry. In her
youth she was a poor gil, earning her live
lihood as a milliner apprentice. Her upward
growth IS but common specimen of the
strange but gocdly incidents of Republican
life. e
Another Of the partners of the Prince was
the daughter of John Van Buren. She should
have reminded her royal gallant that many
years ago her father danced with his mother,
and had borne the name Prince John ever
since.-N. Y World.

TIE BosToN BALL TO THE PRNcE.-This
was grand success, and the correspondent
Of the N. Y. Post writes:
Perhaps the thing most creditable to the
Boston ball was its exhibition OF the tenden-
cies Of our democratic institutions, in the
first two ladies hOnored by being select
ed as the partners of the Prince in the dance
the wives Of the Mayor of Boston and the
Governor of the State. The Mayor is a me-
chanic-a mathematical instrument maker
and Mrs. Banks, whose elegant toilette was
universally admired, has shared the fortunes
of her husband from bis humble labOrs as a
factory operative to the exalted position he
now holds as the Governor ofhis native state.
Such results Of Republican equality are wor-
thy of even royal consideration.

SUICIDE.-Mr. Thomas Sherry cut his throat

CENSUS ITEMs.-The Charleston Is. C.)
Courier is informed by the o. s. Marshal
that the number of white inhabitants
amounts to 23,s27, an increase in the last
ten years of 1915: the number of slaves to
1886, a decrease of 1926, and of free col
ored :, ,257, a decrease of 1874. This gives a
total population of whites and blacks of 40
s4s. ltis fair to presume, if it were not for
the large number of slaves sold out of the
State, that part of our population would now
have been at least twenty thousand. The
very high prices elsewhere have stimulated
the sale Of many negroes who were hired cut
in the city by their owners, but from various
causes had become valueless from the diff

Our Relations with Japan.

Consul General Harris, writing from Yed-
do to the Secretary Of State, says that
American affairs there are in an unsatisfac-
tory condition. The Japanese evade the
faithful observation Of the most important
of the treaty stipulations or me ct them with
passive resistance. He adds that he is un-
wearied in his etfor ts to convince the gov
eminent Of the dangerous course it is pur
suing, and until its eyes are opened to the
perils it incurs by its present course, no
change for the better can be looked for
The documents cent to the Senate on We'd
nesday mention the fact that Lord Elgin has
requested the Japanese to send an ambassa
dor direct to England, but they eysded the
application, giving this country the prefer
eIce. Orders were sent out by the Secre-
tary to land the embassy to this country at
New York, but our Consul General urges
that they be carried directly TO Washington.
They will be entertained at the public tx
pense. The high dignitaries and servants
