A Union meeting was held il the town

gone home, a gang of black ruihans, some
fourteen or fifteen in number, made fu,

JArENEsE LITTLE FoLKs.-The Hon.
Frank Hall, who is now in Japan, speaks
thus favorahy of the Niphoncse ehildcen:
''buring more than half years resi>
dence in Japan, have never seen quar>
rel among young or old. | have never
seen blow struck, or scarcely an angry
face. have seen children at ther sports,
flying their kites or the hill, and no
amount Of intcrta- gled strings, or kites
lodged in the trees provoked angry words
or impatiencc. ] have seen them intent
on their game ofjacl-stones and marbles,
under the shaded gates Of the temples,
but have never seen approach to n quara
rel among them. They are taught implic-
it obedience to their parents, but have
nsyer seen one Of them chastised. Re
spect and reverence to the aged is univer-
sal. A crying child is rarity seldom
seen. We have nothing to teach them in
this respect out Of our abundant ciyliza>
tion.
