but who can picture the anguish of
his sensitive feelings, az he gssped
away his life, sometimes in actual
want, and rarely in the possession
Of the commonest domestic comfort
When the Dramatic Fund was COM
pelled by its bad management to

thrown, with his interesting family,
almost entirely upon the Kindness
of his friends. They were not for

must fail to realize tho manifold
needs of the sick, the aged the dis

which none can feel. except those

Tpp Mystery OF rHE JApANEs.

Bill Sobvsp.-The New York Neu.
makes the following revelation to sc-
count for the enormous bill presented
against the city Of New York for ten
DAYS entertainment for the japanese.
The taxpayers of the city have been
much exercised by the very large sum
Of money-more than thousand dol.
lars expended on account of the ia
panese reception, and there has been
a general call for the items Of this ex-
tensive bill. We understand that
they figure up nearly as follows -
item-l7 600 surpsts, NJ ~, .......,..... $4,000
Item ,2Ooo hotties of champagne, at
~ .......... 3n,O0n
,,sr,-pcsrd ut ,hs Embassy for 10 DAYS,

I.,,ra.s bill tqi, 900
ltpm-Tiack hire Ac......................... 5000
item-white hat. and hid gloves and
u,hs, r,rt mach. '................ $500
Now, this is pretty heavy bill for
ten days Of civic hospitality, but we
must take into account the fact that
the japanese Embassy was the first
thing Of the kind that had ever dawn
ed upon the sstonished gaze of any
Western nation, and that our Alder.
man were placed in novel position
The public voice demanded, in view
Of the high rank of the Oriental dip
lomats and the Importance of their
mission, that the members of the
Corporation should for once act, dress
and generally depcrt themselves like
Christians gentleman. Now, IL takes
a deal Of time and money TO teach new
tricks TO old dogs, and the less time
that is allowed the more money the
operation costs. That was precisely
the case with our Alderman. They
we're called upon to make gentlemen
Of themselves at moments notice,
and as IL was on account Of the city
that the painful process was to be
gone through with, they undoubtedly
resolved that il was no more than
right that the city should pay the
bills. So they srrayed themselves in
brcsdclcth and fine linen they be
came resplenedeut in white hats and
patent leather boots and kid gloves.
Then, to keep up the dignity of their
-ol,, they we're obliged TO dine and
wine their constituents TO an unlimit-
ed extent, and generally TO cuta great
swell. Hence this bill, which is un-
doubtedly heavy; but If the money
really made gentlemen Of the Alder
man, Il was well laid out. They say
in England that il takes two genera.
,iens TO makes gentleman, but on the
other side Of the Atlantic they are
behind the age, and we may be able
20 teach them how TO make Chester
fields as well az 90 saw lumber by
y
steam. We are aware that IL il
costly experiment, and, like the Great
Eastern, the regeneration of the Al
dermau may not pay after all but
let ne give them q chance. However
as the expenses has been incurred, as
we have another Prince coming along
pretty soon, aud as 1t isalways better
to settle an old scores before incur
ring new ones, It may be as well 20
pay the japanese bill and say no more
about t. Only lei the Alderman bear
in mind that their education has cost
Us great deal Of money, aud that we
expect to see the result of the outlay in
their manners, which ought TO be i'm
proved ct least hundred per cent.

is the boast that they have the
most of it Here, we have it not,
because this people, has not yet

Great neutrality-suspicious.,

hear themselves talk and have
lungs of large capacity of endu-
rance, crowd the walks, and preach,
pray and talk for wages. People
who are disposed to follow the pill
grim, in his progress, meekly; are
allured away by seductive Ian
guage, strung together musically
and called "eloquence." Men have
the assurance to tell us, that all
