BAPTISM OF A JAPANEsE IN MAssAcHusETTs.-
On Sunday one Of the Japanese students 10
attendance upon the Monson Academy, Kudo by
name, received Christian baptism, and united
with the Congregational Church. This young
man is about twenty three years Of age, and is
characterized by thoughtfulness, earnestness,
gracefulness of manner, and unblemished charac.
ter. He is one of a company of six who, some
thing over two years ago, were sent out to this
country under the auspices of the Japanese gov
eminent, for the purpose of becoming acquainted
with our language, literature and civilization.
Previous to their coming here they had hardly
heard of such a thing as a Bible; and yet, so
soon. one Of them bows the knee to the mild
scepter of Emmanuel. We believe this Is the
second Japanese who has ever received Christian
baptism, at least in this country. A few months
ago one was baptized by. DR.. Tiffany [Methodist)
in New Brunswick, Nd, and it was claimed that
be was the very first. We are told that 0usra,
the youngest of the Monson company, and qnite a
genus in his way. having already acquired
remarkable skill in English composition, contem-
plates at an early day. taking this same step.
What will be the ultimate results Of these Chris
tan conversions on the future destinies OF that
sineularly Isolated, yet very interesting people
the japanese. God alone can tell.-[S Springfield

The PRESERVATION OF WRE.-The French gov.
eminent, which purchases large amount of the
cheaper wines for the use OF the navy, has recently
been testing, by special commissioners. the eff
cacy Of q new process, which consists OF simply
heating the wine to the temperature Of lbs to l3l
fahrenheit. A certain number of bottles Of Cote
dor Of 1863 were subjected to the heating pro-
cess In that year, an equal number Of bottles from
the same vineyard being allowed to remain In the
natural state. In the month Of March last sam
pies Of both were tested. The wine which bad
been heated was in perfect condition, while the
other had decided favor of scidity, the special
failing to which the principal Burgundies are apt
TO succumb. A quantity of wine was heated,
carefully casked, and sent ten months cruise Ia
the Jean Bart. Some of the same wine, unheated,
was shipped at the same time. At the end Of the
voyage the heated wine was in perfect condition,
showing the color peculiar 70 old wines, while
the other, in consequence Of an sstringent flavor,
turning TO sourness. had TO be consumed at once
TO avoid total loss. rsL rtT1 sfgsrl I5N
