The EDUcATED You've LADY.-It is no
fancy sketch which Mrs Stowe eopiesfrom
Tom Hood, of a teacher of all the crafts
and arts which are supposed to make
fine gentle-woman, who is stranded in
rude German inn, with her father writh-
ing i'll the anguish of severe attack Of
gastric Inflammation. The helpless gazes
on her suffering parent, longing to help
him, and thinking over all her various lit
tie store of accomplishments, not one of
which bears the remotest relation to the
case. She could knit him bead purse,
or make him guard chain, or work him
a foot stool, or festoon him with cut tis-
sue paper, or sketch his likeness, or crust
him over with alum crystals, or stick him
over With little roseettes of red and white
waters but none of these being applica-
bic to the present case, she sits in resign
ed imbecility till finally she desperately
resolves to improvise some Cruel, and af

ter burning her dress and blacking her
fingers in only bringing him

Japan.

This country contrasts strongly with its
continental neighbors. China can hard
ly be aroused from her lethargy of centu-
ries. Japan is manifesting signs of life
that surprises those who, when the coun-
try was first opened, predicted, as did
myself, triany and rapid changes
When l inform my readers that
change in the national cos
tune has been decreed, he, too, will
be surprised; but such an innovation in
their sumptuary code takes effect on the
Japanese Newly ear, ten days from this
date. True, the change made affects the
military and naval services but ere long
civilians of every class will probably be
ordered or permitted to discard the attire
which they find uncohth and cumbersome.
What is more remarkable is the report
that the ordinary tonsure and mode of
wearing the hair is to abandoned, and
the European mode adopted in its stead.
Some jealousy exists among the foreign
tradesmen here at the French Minister,
who has obtained contract from the
Japanese Government for some $4,000
garments. fsar
AZ year hence, another port is to be
opened according to treaty. Hiago. the
port OF the great industrial city of Osaka,
a matter which the foreign merchants re-
gard with Indifference, for like the mer-
camille community of China, they find
that the opening of new ports is always
attended with an incresse of expenditure,
but the diplomatic leaders hold that
general interests require that the Treaty
should be complied with, and they insist
on, ,Hiago being made an open port.
Ostensibly to make arrangements for
that object, all the foreign Ministers have
been invited by the Tycoon to meet him
about two weeks hence In conference at
Osaka, but it is supposed that he means
to make a demonstration of the gather
ings, that the neighborhood may see that
he has powerful allies. Much good may
be expected from this conference, as the
new Tycoon Che was formally proclaimed
on the 1Oth) is an enlightened and pro-
gressive ruler. & 90 lar

1t has transpired that many of the
colored delegates to the recent mass con-
ventiOn of conservatives at Nashville
were forced by threats from the whites
not only to attend but to takepromlnent
part in the deliberations of that body.
The Times of Nashville publishes several
cards from conservative delegates setting
forth that their lives and property would
have been placed in jeopardy had they
not consented to participate in the con-
vention. The game of the rebel leaders
may succeed for while in making show
ofstrength among the negroes, but when
that class of voters learn that they will
be protected in the exercise of their rights
as citizens, and their prosecutors punish
ed, the conservative cause cannot rely
much upon the black element ofthe south.
THE DELEGATE FROM UTAH, Brother
Hooper, of Norman connections, will
have some worriment getting into Con-
gress the next session. The report Is
that the principal voting done IN the last
election was done by the Bishops, who
vote for all absentees of the Civ 'ch in ali
countries, and tor most of those at home.
If this be the case there will be fine
grounds for contest, and the Gentle
candidate Mr.. Nc Grorty Will push the
certified member very hard. This voting
by proxy and all on one side is new
wrinkle on the face of affairs, and one not
bargained for. Brigham Young must
invent a more ingenious way than that to
supply Congress with his supporters

Pos. Omc. Accommodation.

EDITOR OF THE PRESS: Is it unreasonable
to insist that the Post Office shall be kept open
TILL ten o'clock in the evening? The import
ance OF the Post Office is considerable It con-
Germs the entire public,p erhaps,as nearly as any
institution. 1t is established and maintained
by the public for its convenience. Nine o'clock
mlght.be convenient hour for the citizens of
fortland; but is 1t? What meeting, religious
or otherwise, closes before nine? And how
many places are there where meetings or con-
certs are contiguous TO the Post Office? One
wants his evening mal-avery business men,
certainly. He desires, also, to attend meeting.
Should he not be gratified in both? Reason
declares that manifestly he should: and there
are persons not few in this community,
abundantly qualified to administer the affairs
OF the office, who would assume its duties and
readily furnish the desired convenience.

REMARKABLE STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT
JoHNsoN.-When the delegation from Blad-

of the resolutions passed by the Copperhead
meeting held at that place, the following re-
Spouse was made: II cannot do better than to
refer you TO the acts of my past life and
through them be judged as to my future
course" In this there is novelty, strength
an exhibition of political prescience, a giant
grasp of all the elements of the situation, a
craftsmanship, genius and a-sublimity, which
make it as good as new at the ten thousandth
repetition. Verify the Chief Magistrate ought
to get some new formula of speech, for it be-
comes not the dignity of the country that its
highest official should have a more limited
vocabulary than the Shakspearian waiter,
whose life was passed in crying "Anon, SIR

THE WINsLow STREET LOT. = We under
stand that the Committee of the City Govern
ment, to whom the matter was referred, have
declined to purchase the lot of land of Judge
FOX, or that which he has the care of as ad.
ministrator, on the corner of Congress and
Pearl streets, and which is needed in order to
complete the new Lincoln Park. The price
demanded by Judge Fox for this small lot is
$4,000 and the two years taxes due thereon
amounting In all to about 5000, or 81 83 per
square foot. If the award of about $500 for the
strip OF land taken to widen Congre IS street is
accepted, the price will be reduced to ST. 81
The former price includes the award.
This seems to be high price for land in that
vicinity, especially when we consider that all
the land constituting the Park was purchased
at prices from IS to IS cents per foot, and we
think our citizens will agree, that the decision
OF the Mayor not to purchase at the price
named is a correct one.
