JAPAN EMBAssY.-An Embassy of Japan
Officials numbering seventy two persons, in
GLIDING officers, interpreters and subordin-

March, and were magnifioently entertained by
that city at cost Of $4,000. They were
also handsomely received at Honolulu, on
their way to California. They intend to

to drown him, and it was only by main force
that he subdued and brought her up; the

LovEJoY ON SLAvERY.-In Lovejoy' speech
occ, rs the following.
The principle of enslaving human beings
because they are inferior is this: If q man is
crippled trip him up; ifhe is old and weak,
and bowed with the weight of years, strike
him, for he cannot strike back; if idiot, take
advantage Of him, and il q child, deceive him.
This, sir, is the doctrine Of the Democrats,
and the doctriGc Of devils as well, and there
is no place in the universe outside the five
points Of hell and the Democratic party where

would not he disgrace.

The Great Prize Fight.

The great fight, which the sporting world
have been so anxiously awaiting, took place
early on the morning of the 18th ult, at Farm.
ham, near Aldershot, England. The fight
lasted two hours and six minutes. Thirty
nine rounds were fought, when the pugilists
were ordered to desist by the referee. In
the last round, HEENAN got his arm round
SAVERS neck and to all appearance was
strangling him. Cries Of "let him go" were
raised; HEENAS however stuck to his hold
and the ring was broken in. The greatest
confusion prevailed. The umpire was car.
ricd away in the throng, and the fight was
prematurely brought to close; neither hav.
ing been declared winner.
On the morning Of the 18th ult, there was
a rumor afloat in London, that HEENAN and
SAVERS would fight again, but nothing au-
thentic has transpired, and there has not
been meeting Of the parties interested.
The correspondent Of the London Times
says:
~ visited Heenan last evening and found
him most comfortable, and in excellent spir-
it's. He is anxious to fight Sayers as soon as
possible if he is not satisfied with the pres
ent result. The indignation of the Ameri-
cans here, and in fact large portion of the
British public is leudly and vehemently ex-
pressed. The ring was broken into by a
pack of thieves who used the excuse to rob
every one. 1t was known Mr.. Heenan would
not be allowed to carry the Champions
Belt' out of the country, and the English
men who had bet their all on Sayers, as soon
as they found their Champion was loosing,
resorted to the most unfair means-kicking
and pulling him down."
The New York Tribune learns from a
gentleman who witnessed the fight that when
HEENAN had got SAVERS into such aposition
that he must inevitably have won the battle,
JOHN MoRR1sEY cut the rope and let HEENAN
fall to the ground.

A good joke is told of Horace Greeley, on
the occasion of his political visit here last
summer. The story goes, that the ''Philos-
opher was met at the Wooster House, in
promiscuous company, by high-wrcught
locofoco from Fairfield, who thought to make
laugh at his expense. Loco shook the
hand of the Philosopher vigorously. Philos4
opher didn't know him. "Don't you re-
member" suggested loco, "thst you and l
drank brandy and water Oh the Plains ~

The eternal, never-ending agitation Of the
question of Slavery, which the Democracy
have thrust upon the country, on every oc.
casion they possibly could, promises at last
to be tho very means Of rcnding assundel
the Democratic party, and insuring to them
certain defeat in the coming Presidential
election. At their National Convention,
they have spent all their time, up to our la.
test advices, hauling the "nigger' question
back and forth, over the Goals. in manner
that is just about as ludicrous as it is DISCUS
ting. A majority of the Convention voted
for re-afirming the Cincinnati Platform, with
the "Dred Scott" decision tailed on to it,
This did not suit the extreme Southern wing,
who demanded Slave Code for the Terrific
ries, and consequently they withdrew from
the Convention. The boilers had held a
meeting, and declared that should Duglas be
nominated by the Convention they should
deem it their duty to present candidates for
the suffrages Of the people, who stood upon
Southern basis. This promises to be one of
the most serious ruptures that ever occurred
in the ranks Of the Democracy. Mr.. Cones,
of Georgia said:
He could see in this division and distrac-
ton of the Democratic party a ripple that
would swell to wave and carry to the Pres
idential chair the arch fiend of Black Repub-
licanism."
From the appearance Of things it looks
very much as though Douglas would be the
nominee.

strsaMs 6l Iowa have during the last winter
and spring swarmed with fur producing ami

successfully, and although the prices of furs
have not ranged as high as during some years,
larger aggregate income has been realized
than during any corresponding period. One

Medical Science since the commencement OF
the 10th century but in doing this, sha,!.
not attempt a catalogue even, of the croud of
laborers who have won to themselves glory
by their devotion to the cause. In no other
period, in the history of medicine, has the

years. shall notice but few of the more
important improvements which have been
made during this period.
1st-I will mention the application of the
Microscope to the elucidation of Physiology
and Pathology. To show what an Invaluable
aid the Microscope is to the Pathologist, /
need only allude to the subject Of Cancer. In
case of true Cancer, sre is found in the
healthy .issueta series Of cells, unlike those
Of the surrounding parts, and these cells null
tiply until they produce the frightful results
of this disease. These cells are always the
same, but cannot be discovered except by the
skillful use of the Microscope. In its early
stages, the tumor resembles very nearly, in
its external appearance, an ordinary non-ma-
lignant tumor, but the skillful physician, by
using Microscope, at once discovers the pc
culiar Cancer-cells, and is able to determine
the nature Of the disease. Experience has
proved that when once these coils are pro-
duced, nothing but the entire excelsior of the
part diseased will check them, and that, even
then, in majority of cases, the germs Of
these cells are SO disseminated in the blood
that in a short time they will again spring ur
