NOTES OF TIIE WEEK.

MUrISr-The Bremen w~haleShip Republic, re-
turned from sea last week, On account Of a muuny OF
her crew. The seamen complain Of unjust treatment
and threats on the part q the officers, but that has
not been established. On the arrival Ct the vessel in
the harbor, the Sheriff sent q posse on board to arrest
the mutineers. Of which there Were five or six princi-
pals. But the entire crew stood up and SAID that if
any were arrested and brought on shore, all should
be. Deputy Sheriff Jouriau came back, and it was
arranged by Mr.. Reiners, the Bremen Consul. that
all the crew should come on shore, which they ac-
coriingly dd AMI proceeded to the consulate. Here
the ring-leliers were called out by name and reques-
ted to walk into the CcuSul's Office. while the rest
remained outside. After some conversation, they
were taken out through the rear door in charge
Of the Sheriff. to the Station House. and locked up for
the night The balance Of the ships crew, on learn
ing Of the proceedings, followed their comrades, and
requested to be locked up with them. This, however,
was not done, and after staying around the building
a short time, and indulging only in threats, they dis
persed. An examination was had before the Consul,
but the result Of it had not transpirei yesterday.
ONLY 1 SCGGESrIoN.-Now that our distinguished
japanese visitors are here, would it not be a good
idea for His Excellency the Minister Of Foreign Reha-
tons TO hatch up a treaty with their excellencies
Simme- Bujen-HO-kam and .NIrGgdke-7rGge-RO-
kami, Ambassadors from the Court Of Ieddo, and
Ministers Extraordinary from His Imperial Highness
the Emperor Of Japan. Such a document might be
extorted from their excellencies quite as easily as from
the numerous other agents of less rank, who have
honored the Minister with their autograp his. 1t
seems especially important that our alliances with the
g Flowery Empire should be cemented by a bond of
union a few yards longer than the last diplomatic eff
fort, inasmuch as our commerce with that nation 1--WE
have just sent off a clipper bark to kanagawa) has
already assumed formidable proportions, and it is also
a well known fact that our whalers call at Hakodadi
for their potatoes. We wish only to throw out a sug-
gestion. -
CHURCH DISCIPLINE AND Rux-AwAY HoRsEs-On Sunday
forenoon last, while divine service was performed in the Bethel,
sundry white boys, who, probably finding no amusement in the
gallery, had adjourned to the yard surrounding the church, com,
menced chasing a little pony thar happened to be there, and
hnIshed by frlEhtenlng several OF the horses attached to carr,
ages n n street one Of which succeeded IN breaking loose and
started down the street, smashing the carriage against the
beadle, not only in the church, but over the premises outside
also, must be resorted to, to preserve order and enforce atten-
politely request their hopeful progeny to choose some other
to it-PoEynesian.
That is a very good sermon. Now for its applica-
ton. We are informed that on Sunday last, the dis
turbance alluded continued, and that the boys en-
ployed in the PoiynesiaH Office lcere the principal
actors in ii. We suppose the sam was the case on
the Sunday referred to above. The POiynesian editor
will therefore politely request sc.
The JAPANEsE-With the natives, and we may
say with the foreigners too, there has been nothing to
talk about but our distinguished visitors. Wherever
they go about town, they are the observed of all OBJ
1t makes no difference, whether, it be a
store or private dwelling. curiosity prompts them to
enter. There need be no fear of their pilfering; they
are probably as honest, perhaps more so. than their

some of which are of the finest workmanship-the
blades of beautifully FURNISHED steel. with an edge as
sharp as a razor. Some of the officials carry a short
dirk. which We understand to be a mark of rank.
SCIENTIFIC AMERIcAN.-This truly valuable period
ical commences the new year with many improve
ments, adding to its former high reputation. We no.
tice that Judge Mason, long connected with the
Patent Office in Washington, and a talented writer
lawyer, has become interested as editor in the
publication. We know of no weekly paper calculated
to give the same amount of practical information, es-
pecially valuable to mechanics of every class, as the
Scientific american. 1t is published for 50 80 per
lnnum. -
JOE RODERICK's Observation-Disclosures q
strong opposition, Joe Roderick has fitted up a new
room in his restaurant, which has been newly painted
md papered, and furnishes the table with everything
grateful to the lover of good cheer. Four years hard
md earnest labor in this line, has made him the ne
'lus ultra of Restaurant keepers. We can recon-
mend his establishment to any of our friends who need
good boarding place.
n Cards have been issued for a reception to be
given by DIR. Guillou, on Friday evening, to the Off
of the United States steamship Pophatan.
