The LARGEST CITY IN THE

don is far superior both in size
and number of its inhabitants.
But such is not the case. Jeddo.
the capital of Japan, is without
exception, the largest and most
populous city in the world. 1t
contains the vast number of l.
100000 dwellings. and 5000, 900
human souls. Many of the streets
are nineteen Japanese series in
length-twenty two English miles.
The commerce Of Japan far ex-
ceeds that of any other in the
world, and the sea along the coast
is constantly white with sails of
the Southern portion of the en-
pire, where they are ladened with
rice, tea, seacoal, tobacco, sill,
cotton and tropical fruits, all of
which can find ready market in
the North, and then, in return
frightened with corn salt, isin-
glass and various other produc-
tions, which have a market in the
South.

A reunion Of our people
took place on Thursday last, at
the examination of Mr.. Lowry's
school, which has afforded
more general pleasure than
usually falls to the lot of us,
hereabout. Everything passed
off agreeably, the exercises of
the children, the barbecue and
dance. Nothing occurred to
mar the general happiness.
The patrons and scholars were
pleased with the teacher, the
teacher was pleased in conse-
quence and all of them testi-
fed their pleasure, after the
English fashion, in eating a
big dinner. No better cooked
meats could have been asked
for. Great praise was bestow-
ed on the cooks for the mighty
square meal. Our folks will
dance on every possible oeca-
sion and this time they hap
pened to the good luck to get
the services of Professor Rom
bin who conducted affairs just
as they should be. Perhaps it
lasted a "leetlen too long; but
midsummer nights are short
and pleasure must he length

CAPITAL Punishment.

Whether any crime Should
have the death penalty attach
ed to it or not, has been much
argued, and many are found
who take the negative side of
the question. Catherine, sole
autocrat of Russia, abolished
capital punishment throughout
her vast empire, and such con-
tinued the law for years. This
was the paper law. Mark its
effect on her semi-civilized sub-
jects I! She prescribed whip
ping and Punishment, and The
consequence was, that more
criminals were whipped to
death with the terrible knout
than would have been hanged,
had the law been different. We
in the United States have vir-
tually abolished capital punish
ment by throwing so many ad-
vantages to the accused, and
what are the consequences
The death penalty is much
oftener inflicted than if we had
the British laws of the seven
tcenth century, and a Jeffries
for a Judge, in every District.
Lynch courts are improvised
all over the Union, and the
thief is as often hanged as the
murderer. This is not all, The
avenger of blood of the old He
brew law, has become a regular
institution among us. Who
had not rather live under The
Judgeship ola Jeffries, thar in
some of the counties of Texas
Our opinion is that our peo-
pie are not yet enlightened
enough to bear the abolition of
capital punishment, even if it
were a proper measure. In Or
der to do away with Judge
Lynch, and the avenger OF
blood, let us have the penalty
of the law, as it now stands,
visited quickly upon the mur-
derer.

Too PooR.-The editor of the
Rural New Yorker was sitting in

in and said: 'Mr. Moore, / like

select from your lot one chicken

care of her and bring me the pro-
ceeds, whether in eggs or chick.
ems, and we will call it square,"
"All right, brother Moore;;" and
the old man chuckled at what he
thought capital bargain. He
kept the contract strictly, and at
the end of the year found that he
had paid about four prices for his
paper. He often tells the joke on
himself, and sayshe never has had
the face to say he was too poor te
take paper since that day.
