The MASSACRE OF JAPANESE CHRISTIANS.
The news from Japan, relating that one
recently taken from the city of Nagsaki
and put to death by drowning, by order Of
| the Mikado, in spite of the circumstances
of the foreign consuls and that others had
suffered martyrdom in other parts of the
empire, ELECTS the following speculations in
the New York Post:
81 Who We're these Japanese Christians
1t is certain that they were not converts Of
modern missionaries. No success has yet
attended their efforts in Japan. Whence,
then, did these one hundred and fifty ia
panese Christians comet
alt is probable, and indeed almost GER
tain, that they are some of the old stock,
who have in some way succeeded in keep
ing alive, through successive generations
for two hundred and fifty years, the reG-
glous faith preached by the Jesuits. The
persecution which the native Christians Of
Japan suffered at the time their govern.
ment expelled foreigners, and made the
profession OF the Christian faith q capital
offense, has no parallel in history; and all
us rlgors have been continued to the PRES
ent. The present dynasty of Tycoons,
which was established ut that period. made
the Buddhist the State religion-and the
more effectually to secure the total extinc-
ton of the adherents of the hated Christian
faith, made the Buddhist priesthood the
special agents OF the government for hunt
from this there was no escape, exceps by
recantation or death. There has been no
relaxation of their vigilance, and all the
laws originally enacted are still in force.
To- ~, every Japanese must register him
self at some temple as Buddhist, or be
condemned as an outcast, and so strenuous
is the guard that even the simple contract
OF Japanese servant with his employer
contains always, as part of its legal form.
the specification that he ia not n Christian.
Nevertheless, American residents in Japan
recall rumor which, from time to time,
came to their ears, of a band or community
of Jesuit proselytes still existing in some
part of the empire Sometimes they were
said to live in the very heart of Yeddo, and
at others in one of the southern provinces.
1t is possible that this secret community,
encouraged by the revolution in the empire,
has ventured rashly to disclose itself
< cit will be very remarkable if it shall
prove that there are still in Japan any con-
siderable number of Christians, the descend
ants of those who were converted by the
Jesuits two hundred and fifty years ago It
would be new proof of the futility of even
the most rigorous and cruel persecution"

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who, with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some of the self-styled doctors,
whose names to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradesmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmths, shoemakers,
newspaper carriers, intelligence Office keepers, &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it. Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1862 The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
advertising physicians in eight cases out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates pretended patients letters &c.
DR.. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
