An AMRRIcAS GENTLEMAN, q resident OF

treated with great brutality by the Span

Notwithstanding this, the American was
called on to pay his quota as q citizen, and
upon his refusal force was resorted to. His
house was broken open, and his furniture,

The Prosecutions AGAINST CHRIslIANs
AND IMAGE WoRsHIPERs IN JAPAN.-The
late prosecutions against native Christians
In Japan seems not to have been directed
against tiat faith alone, but against Buddh-
ism also, or in other words, against image
worship in general. The Japanese are
worshipers OF nature. no imagee arc to be
found IN temple of what may be called an
establish cd religion. Buddhists are as
much dii senters from the State religion as
are the Christians. Buddhists and Chris
tians alike have images in their temples of
worship, and the iconoclastic zeal of the
orthodox faith, as by law established, can
not break the mummeries of image worship,
whether of Indian or European origin. A
remarkable evidence of their determination
to utterly abolish idols is shown by an icon-
elastic edict, which dooms to destruction
even the great idol of the empire, a collos-
sal image of Buddha in bronze, of world
wide fame, called Biboots. The gigantic
statue is for sale, and as it is too large to
remove it without breaking it up, it is
likely soon to be turned to some useful
purpose. after having for six centuries coa-
tributed to promote a debasing supe rsti-

With tails curled tight.

And hear them squeak,

And, oh what fun
To see them run
Aud then stop short
With grunt and snort,
Poking about
With curious snout.
No, Master Dick,
Put down that stick
You must not dig
baby pig
Under the rib,
To make him squeal.

Should do so

You must be kind,
Or else you'll find
You won't come here

THE PRESENT SEASON is by no means the
showman's harvest-particularly 30 far as
tie employees are concerned. While the
public do not rush to shows as they once
did, the proprietor finds consolation in
the fact that never was there y time when
'stalent" was 30 low as now. The country
il full of young men who much prefer
travelling with circus a minstrel, troupe,
or theatrical company to engaging in more
legitimate work, and salaries are down to
the bottom notch. In many cases none
are paid at al-uothing beyond the travel
ing expenses. FAIR performers-who few
months ago received from $12 to $50 per
week, POW receive from S. to $40. while
$40 and over is paid only to the best Very
few receive salaries beyond the last sum.
At even the figures named ten men offer
where one is wanted. A member of the
profession" who is nov travelling tells us
that fully one third of the travelling per-
formers this season receive less than So
Der week-another third less than $40. and
the balance various sums over that figure,
and how they live ON the sums paid is .
mystery to all but themselves.

THE CHILDREN OF ERIN.
BY G. HOPKINS.

Speak kindly, pray, to the children of Erin,
To Patrick and Margaret, to Bridget and Barney
As hardly they toll in the land Of the stranger
For the lone ones who dwell on the banks OF
Killarney.
Their eyes they are bright, their cheeks they
are rosy,
They sing as they toll at reaping and sowing;
But the songs that they singl breathe spirit OF
sadness
That tells Of the land where the shamrock is
growing.
In country, in town, in city, in village,
In farmhouse and dairy at the mouth of the
cannon,
The children of Erin forever are dreaming
OF the land that is watered by the waves of the
Shannon.
They dream of the cabin that stands on the
hillside;
OF the green, sunny meadows, where the prim-
roses bloom;
They dream of the fields where in childhood
they played,
OF the willow that weeps DER young brothers.
tomb.
In far distant lands, wherever they roam,
Mid the snow of the North, meath the palms
of the South
Ern's wam.hearted sons, in their dreams still
return
To the green isle of their home, to the land of
their birth.
And sad is the heart Of Erin's poor daughter,
As she thinks of Il far away father or mother,
And her blue eyes are dimmed with the tear
drops of sorrow
As she dreams of a bright-eyed sister or brother
Then speak kindly, pray, to Firms poor
children,
To Patrick and Margaret, to Bridget & Barney,
As hardly they toll in the land of the stranger
For the lone ones who dwell on the banks OF
Killarney.

AppRoPos of the recent elections, the
following is capital, and will be cspec-
ially rcllshed by gentlemen who have
been unsuccessful in their aspirations
for office:
In one of the towns Of Pennsylvania
the free men had for many years depos
tied their votes solidly for the Demo
cratic candidates Such thing as Wing
or Republican was unknown, and prior
to the Grant and Seymour campaign
no local Republican ticket had ever
been run. At that time, however, the
politicians of an adjacent township
thought it an opportune occasion to at
tempt the establishment, in that town,
of Republican organization. To this
end they persuaded certain Mr. Green,
who had recently settled there, to be-
come their candidate for some minor
office, hoping to procure for him few
votes under the popularity of the great
name of Grant, and thus to get an en-
tering wedge in the local affairs Of the
township.
The day of election arrived, but Mr.
Green was unable to get to the polls by
reason of sickness. In due time the
returns were published, and Mr.. Green
had just one vote. Chagrined at this
and annoyed by the accusation that he
had voted for himself he announced
that if the person who had voted fol-
him would come forward and make affi
davit to the fact he would reward hin
with good suit of clothes. A few days
aferward burly, stupid-looking Penn
sylvania Dutchman called upon Mr.
Green, and abruptly remarked: 81

"Ah!" said Mr.. Green, ''then you
are the man who voted for me?"
"Yah, I'm dat man."
care you willing to make an affidav
it of it?"
"Yah, / swear to 'em."
Mr.. Green, accompanied by the in
telligent voter, went to the office of thu
justice OF the peace, and the required
affidavit. was made; after which th'
clothes were purchased and given t.
the deponent.
So delighted was Mr.. Green to be re
lieved from the unpleasantness of tn
situation, and to glad to learn that ther
was another righteous man in the town
ship, that he had taken the Dutchman'
Republicapism as a matter of course
However, at parting, he said: "Now
