JArAN.-AiTlirs in Japan are still in a very
uncertain state, consequent upon thercccn' col
liSuns between The natives and foreigners, the
most serious of which had been occasioncj by
an inlracion by the latter Of local lawsreating
to the protection Of game. \ Hong Kong pa
per says, in reference to these events
=" 1t is abundanlly lear that tho residence Of
foreign merchants is so antagonistic to the des-
potic institutions existing, as to be absolutely
dangerous to the continuance of government
Nor would this consideration be so alarming,
were it not known that the japanese nobility
are openly aggressive, and that immense prep
aratons have been made for resistance"
Trade is spoken Of as entirely ruined by the
" currency juggle," which is pronounced a
bare. faced violation Of treaty engagements.

MARVELLOUS SLElcnr or Extraordinarily in
giving the claim OF an inventor of new ma.
chine for stamping letters, it was stated in these
columns that it would stamp my a minute. To
show that the hand is still in advance Of ma
chinery, it was yesterday shown US that one Of
the employees in the post office in this city can
stamp t,eo hundred icios minute. Incredible
as this may appear, this is aet, readily dem.
onsratable. In the presence of some visitors,
a day or two since, this was actually accomplish
ed. There seems therefore no present need Of
stamping machines in the post Office Chogo

NEw IMPLEMENT OF WAR.-Mr. William
McCord, of Sing Sing, has devoted the last two
or three years to the invention and perfecting
Of agun t. discharge successive volleys without
the necessity of intermission for re loading or
adjusting the parts, or for allowing the imple-
mcnt to cool. This result he claims to have
most successfully accomplished and a number
of military and scientific men who have wit
messed its performance, bear testimony to the
amazingly destructive powers 81 the new weapon
The piece is discharged by the turning of
crank; the loaded balls, with percussion caps
attached, passing into the barrels from hop
per. so that the only lnbor Of loading, is to
shovel the balls, like grain into the hopper 1t
can be kept in action from hour to hour, or
from day to day, like any other piece of ma.
chinery, and, for aught we see, might be pro-
PEELED by steam. The sample which has been
constructed is certified to fire two hundred and
forty balls (weighing forty to the pound) per
minute but the inventor is constructing
larger pieces, and expects to be able t. dis.
charge cannon balls of ample size, though with
less rapidly. There is continuance which, it
is said, c0ectually prevents the barrels from

TuRrY lloURs wITu SKUNK IN a Mining

While G. AtaeI was on prospecting tour

ranch, on Old Woman's Caleb he observed
a tunnel, and. approaching it, he heard noise
as Of miners working within, and proceeded 10
pay them visit. When he had ventured
through the dense darkness $50 feet, all at once
his feet gave way, and he was precipitated to
the bottom Of shaft 35 feet deep, breaking two
Of his ribs and otherwise injuring him. On re-
covering his senses he found he had a compan-
ion; large California skunk had met with
like misfortune; apparently some days before
His skunkship had become desperate through
hunger, thirst aud confinement, and attacked
him with all the ferocity OF a tiger bit him Sc
vcrely on the face and hands, be being too fee.

manned some thirty hours, when two miners
passed that way, heard its faint cries, and res
cued him from his perious situation, made dou.
bly, so from the fact that this tunnel Is situated
in very lonely, obscure place, no one scarce
ly ever passing, except Mr.. Garland, in tie

How Douglas held Mr.. Lincoln's Hat.

\ Cincinnati paper gives the following incl
dent Of the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln
" 0nc Of the representatives. Of this state in
Congress reports an interesting and rather fun.
ny incident Of the inauguration, which not has
ing seen IN print, we record. On approaching
where he was to take his oath and BE- indicted
into the Office Of Chief Executive Mr.. Lincoln
removed his hat and held it in his hand as he
took tho seat assigned him. The article seemed
to be a burden lie changed it awkwardly
from Que to another and finally, despairipg Of
finding Tor it any other position, deposited it
upon tho platform beside him Senators and
Judges crowded in, and to make room for them
he removed nearer the front OF the stage, carry
ing his tile with him. Again it was dandled
uneasily, and as Senator Baker approached to
introduce him to the audience he ma le a motion
as if to replace the tile on the stage under the
seat when Douglas, who had been looking on
quietly, AID apparently with some apprehcn.
sions Of catastrophe to the hat said, " Permit
me sir, and calamity took the ycxatous ar.
ticlS and held it during the entire reading OF
the inaugural Dag, must have reflected
pretty seriously during that half hour, that
instead Of delivering an inaugural address from
that por,ico lie was holding the hat Of the man
who was doing it."
