JAPANRsR ToMMY.-A letter from Osaka
gives some information OF our old friend Japa-
nese Tommy, who has become very dis
tlnguished maR since his visit TO the United
States
A very wealthy Japanese. soon after the
war against Choshue, took Tommy under his
especial protection, and he 10 at present looked
upon as rising man. He is to be Governor
OF Hiago-one Of the new ports TO be opened
on the 1st OF January-and will be OF great
service to the Americans in that capacity
The Admiral asked him the name of the best
general In the late war; Tommy replied that
they had no generals. Tommy has been raised
to the rank Of Governor of city. He has
also been made captain OF engineers. and ex.
poets to visit the United States and study en-.
gineering. He dislikes very much TO be called
Tommy-preferring the title Of captain.

THE HEALTH OF THE CITY.-Aside from the

and that among adults, caused by eating stale
and unripe fruits, DC, there has been but little
sickness in Washington this summer. and no
indications Of an epidemic. This il doubtless
owing, in measure, to the fact that the sani-
1ary ON GERS have strictly enforced the regula.
tions of the BOARD of Health, and are still en-
gagged in doing so. DR.. Dove, the Secretary OF
the Board of Health. has been very attentive
