The Mikado Of Japan has had = plane from
Austria, the arst instrument Of tho sort which
has been SEEN In the empire TWAS forwarded
to him for the use Of his vito and arrived
safely. At the time when our latest mail
sdvices left Yokohama the royal pupil was
diligently learning to play on 1t, under the
talented and attractive instruction of Lady
Parkes, wife Of Sir Harry Parkes, the British
Minister near the imperial court. In this we
think that both Austria and England have OBJ
tanned great temporary national advantage,
and that the diplomacy and commerce OF the
United States loses just so much Lord
Clarendon, in his far-seeing statesmanship,
acknowledges that the system Of war ships,
cannon balls, bayonets, opium, whiskey and
the London Foreign Missionary and Bible
Societies is at an end, both In Japan and
China, and so adspts himself Immediately to
the agencies Of the new era Of music and
electricity and steam. ireland will most likely

and so forth. Secretary Fish must bestir him
SELF and Congress and the piano makers Of
New York look to 1t. General Butler will
most likely cease attitudenizing in his
fine parliamentary elocutionary interjections
Of "Shoo, fly, don't bodder me-" at mo-
ment when our traders and travellers in the
far East are likely to hear ''Britons, Strike
Home" "God Save the Queen" the 'sBritish
Grenadiers" and 'Long Live the Kaiser" sent
forth by native and imperial Japanese hands
all over the country, from Yokohama to Jeddo.
We are consoled to considerable extent in
this serious matter, however, by the fact that
the Mikado's wife will have only just been
well accustomed to the instrument by the time
that cargo Of New York made pianos viii
have, perhaps, arrived out there, and that on
hearing the superior tone of the American
instrument she will at once discard the Vienna
and London make and order from us.
''There's music in the air." The HERALD
cannot afford to neglect the inspiration even if
Mr.. Secretary Fish, or President Grant him
self, are not in sympathy.

Hsw Greas Britain Protects Her Citixcn,--
Contrast.

Hsw Great Britain Projects Her Citixony--
Contrast.
II Is hardly necessary to call attention TO
tho fact as to how the British government pro-
tocts Its citizens In oil parts Of tho world,
under any circumstances and at any cost.
This is known to everybody. Is the boast Of
Englishmen end the glory OF England. Per-
haps nothing has done 80 much to make
England the great Power she Is and to make
her universally respected. There is ono
recent event. however, fresh in tho momory Of
all, that may be noticed by way OF contrast to
the pusillanimous conduct OF our own govern
ment in neglecting to protect American oisizehs
In Cuba and elsewhere. The costly war with
Abyssinia was not made for conquest or terri
tory, but TO release from imprisonment few
British subjects, and to punish the king OF that
country for daring to commit an outrage on
Englishmen. The British government did not
stop toocount the cost or tho value Of the lives
merely of those held in bondage. The
national honor and the principle OF protection
to British SUBJECTS wers In question. and that
was suiaoisnt to cause = large military and
naval forceto bo sent to . remote part Of the
globe, and at An enormous expenditure.
Contrast this conduct OF tho British govern
ment with tbss Of ours in tho case Of Tho
repeated and bloody oatrages upon American
oitisens by the Spaniards In Cuba, and It il
almost enough to make us feel ashamed Of our
country and to wish we were Englishmen.
When, oh when, shall we have an administra-
tlon that can realize the greatness of the
republic, the dignity Of American citizenship,
and the imperative duty of throwing its protec-
ton over our citizens In every part Of the
world and under all circumstances
The New York herald., 1870-02-18

THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT has been test
ing our patience for long time, and now it
appears that she has been paying our claims
against her in currency instead OF gold, as
stipulated. Even the traditional Yankee
shrewdness al bargaining has been insulted.
We have stood her murder of our citizens and
her outrages on our national spirit, but our ire
certainly will rise at this last blow. And yet
our blessed Attorney General sustains her
in IL.

Boston Revolutionism and the sslec6s'' Of
Massachusetts.
A ''Boston gentleman" according to the
Paris AayssiHaiso, or ''Boston Boy" as we
would call him in New York, sends aay francs
to the French capital as Ills contribution
towards erecting monument to NJ. Victor
Noir. 1t is quite lively sign to 6nd Boston
waking up and going in for revolution and q
city ''musss' provided they are undertaken at
safe distance from State street. The capi-
talists Of Europe differ slightly in opinion
from the Boston gentleman" however, for
the return Of the Bank Of France yesterday
shows that the specie In the vaults Of that
institution increased twelve millions of francs
during the week over the amount held at
the date Of the previous return, which also
footed up large increase. Thus where
Boston gives nine dollars and twenty cents
to the cause Of municipal riot and dis
order, the industry of the people Of the
European Continent pledges itself by twelve
millions Of francs to the interest of peace.
Hudibras' maxim, 'The value Of thing is
just as much as it will bring" holds good.

one Paddy Beahan has just been tried for
some eccentricity Of conduct by which he
took the life Of ono Maginnis. The jury found
Beahan guilty Of murder in the second degree,
and hoped the court would give him all the
penalty possible. That jury is sound on
murder. It has no lingering tenderness for
fellows who kill, and it would probably have
hanged Beahan if the instructions Of the court
had not prevented 1t finding him guilty of
murder in the FIRST degree. Perry ought to be
taken up that way.

An Island OF Silver.

We have before alluded to the silver island
on the north shore OF Lake Superior. in the
British possessions, just below Thunder Cape,
and some fifteen miles beyond Fort William.
The island is quite small in dimensions say
loo feet by forty, aud the most of it is sub.
merged at high water; small part at one
end is about eighty feet above the lake level
The island was entered by the Montreal min
ing company as part Of a tract embracing
l0S,000 acres II was only last summer that
Captain Frew and his company completed
their bargain with the Montreal company
or the island and secured it by paying or
agreeing to pay. s2j0000 for the entire
100000 acres They went to work imme-
lately to improve the mine in work

ing the effect of making the whole interior OF
the island nearly watcr-tight- at least from
the utrusions OF the lake. The next step
was to sctup two large syphon pumps worked
by steam, By which the inside was pumped
dry, or nearly so, aud it has since been found
that very little working of the pumps daily
keeps the island clear Of water entirely. They
then went to work laying bare the vein, and
