Insult to the Ex.Empress.

A Paris correspondent says: Al
though Trochu is neither q great gen.
eral nor a great statesman he is q gen.
tleman. I am, therefore, surprised
that he allows obscene caricatures of
the Empress to be publicly sold in the
streets, and exhibited in the kiosks.
During the time that she occupied the
throne IN this most scandal-loving
town, no scandal was eyer whispered
against her. She was fond, it is true,
of dress, but she was a good mother
and a good wife. Now that she and
her friends are in exile, elves
of the woman Bonaparte," are
hawked about, which in Eng
land would bring their authors un-
der Lord Campbell's statute. In one
c~aricature she is represented as stark
naked with Prince Joinville sketching
her. In another, called "The Spanish
Cow she is made a sort of female
Centaur. In another she is dancing
the can-can, and tlrrowingh her peticoats
over her head, before King William,
who is drinking champagne, seated on
a sofa, while her husband is in a cage
hung up to the wall. These scandal
lous caricatures have not even the
merit of being funny; they are a re-
Election upon French chivalry, and on
that of Trochu. What would he say if
the. government which succeeds him
were to allow his own wife to be insult
ed IN this cowardly manner1

The Christmas number of Every Saturday

TIE ATLANTIC MONTHLY begins the New
Year with a fine number. Longfellow, Whit

d. Howells writes of a sojourn in a Venetian
Palace; Harriet Prescott Spofford and I. W.
Higginson contribute stories. John Hay
writes pleasantly of his experiences IN Spain.
Senator Henry Wilson contributes an article
on the Republican party. A notable paper is
also that of James T.. Fields, entitled, q Our
Whispering Gallery" wherein he gives remin-
iscences and anecdotes of Thackeray. This Is
the first of a series of papers on distinguish
ed men that viii be contributed by the same

it is by far more musical and smooth
than some of our fashionable languages.
Very little of the Simon-pure Japanese
language is spoken by the foreigners
residing there. Some fewhave made it
a study, and, after years of close appli-
cation, have become quiet fluent in the
language. Our countryman, Dr.. Hep
burn, after eight years of hard study,
has succeeded in editing a small die
tionary. Although giving but eight
thousand words, it isvery valuable, and
will be improved on in time. 1t was
something that the want of was felt for
a long time, the japanese taking the
greater portion of the first edition.
Few men would have undertaken
UGH a formidable task as did
Dr.. Hepburn. He has sue
ceeded in his attempt, and may good
fortune attend him in his efforts to en-
tighten this most free-hearted and will
ing nation.
Their toys and playthings are much
the same as with us, only they go much
more into the ridiculous than we do
There we find mankind IN all its hid
eousness, they thinking it beautiful to
comfort the human body, being also
more apt to brighten than amuse the
children. There was one toy that mo
ticed particularly; it was made of some
light substance representing miniature
dragons, fish, drawing horses, and every
thing hat is capable of moving. I'm
der these were placed a large black
bug: his back was fastened to the toy;
the bug, in endeavoring to get away,
would drag the cart, and, being invisi-
bic, would for some time puzzle a per-
son as to how the thing was done.
They have also their tops and kites.
Almost all the children practice in
tumbling, walking on their hands, and
for a small sum of money will perform
for the curious any time.
The respect that the children in Japan
show for age is remarkable. Let the at
tachment be a man, woman or house, all
are much more honored than In most
civilized countries. A young man there
is proud of his gray-haired father. Ere
q~uently you will find three or four gen.
erations living under one roof. They
speak with pride of their old houses.
1 have heard them say, "That proper
" Aao OSOA IL OuI POcoccolOA AOi 1OO
or 200 years" An old house or build
ing is rarely pulled down, they beliey-
ing it unlueky to destroy anything that
has age, or has been Of use to any per-
son. Here with us it is different. No
sooner does a parent get beyond the
years when he can labor for the benefit
of his children, than they speak of the
"old man." or the "old woman, wish
ing in many cases they were out of the
way. Iwould not like to say that any
of the readers of your dear little Maya
zine commit any of these ungrateful
acts. Still, to compare these supposed
heathens with a portion of the people
in America. the comparison viii show
who it is that wants civilizing. An old
homestead with the matched roof COW
cred with moss, with creepers running
up the sides, the old-fashioned
spinning-wheel, as with us in
days gone by, are there, and, if there is
such a place in the world, it is Japan,
where can be found a true representa-,
ton of Home, Sweet Home.

What the Advertising Agent Can Do

From the Advertisers Guide published by Cook,
Coburn & Co., Advertising Agents, Chicago, IL.
He can insert notices, varying in extent
from q single square to a page, in all of the
newspapers Of America that are worthy of be-
ing used as advertising mediums. He can
guarantee to the advertiser the very lowest
rates Of each publisher, and can give special
Inducements to those prepared to advertise
heavily, which the could never obtain them
selves. He can save the advertiser all of the
bother, time and expense of making separate
contracts with each newspaper. He can as
sist the advertiser in preparing his notices,
giving him the aid of men practised in the art
of getting up attractive advertisements, of a
nature that viii make them powerful agencies
for the patrons desired ends, wherever they
may be published. He can assist the adver-
tiser in the selection of the particular journals
that viii be of the most benefit for his espe-
cial wants. He can give his patrons the adj
vantage of culling from thousands of papers,
files of which are kept constantly on hand for
just this purpose. he can and does see that
the advertisements are inserted according to
contract, q daily examination of every paper
being instituted for that result alone. All of
this and ten times as much in addition, he can
do at a much less cost to the advertiser than
the latter could ever hope to treat with the
publishers for, simply because he makes it his
business to do precisely the things indicated.
