There is quaint tombstone in Bridge
port, Connecticut, according to the
Farmers account tits erected over the
grave OF man who was killed by his
mother in q at of rage by being knocked
down stairs. SD goes the story, and the
most marvellous part Of it is this: There
is on one side OF the monument repre-
sentation, by shadow or stain, of n
woman with upraised hand grasping
what is termed club, and in the act OF
striking. The body is bent. and the en-:
tire attitude suggestive OF anger The
figure is not perfectly defined, but
enough is visible to warrant the above
statement. All attempts to remove it by
scruping have proved Intellectual. The
monument is visited duly by large
number of persons. and if it is lecAp-
ton it is very cleyerly kept up.

The long agitated question OF snprc-
macy between the Mikado and Tycoon
has plunged Japan into another civil
war. Prince Satsuma, the most ener-
getic OF all the Japanese princes, whose
power has been tried by Western Eu-
rope. as we'll as by the National Govern
ment Of japan, has associated three
other clans with his own to maintain the
Mikado, who has always been recognized
In japan ns the real and only Emperor.
Ho is described as dictator; meaning,
probably. that he has taken to himself
those civil and military functions hereto
fore lodged with the Tycoon. under the
authority OF the Mikado. Despite these
civil troubles, the erection OF n mint and
naval arsenal, and the beginning Of n
rcguiur pusiui system, siiow that the
Empire is copying Western civilization.
Satsuma was one of tho first to appro-
PIRATE such improvements.
