LATE advices from Japan represent the
people as making good progress toward
enlightenment. One of the chief charac-
teristics of the people, writes correspon-
dent, is their thirst for knowledge. There
is an evidence of this in the presence of a
number of Japanese youths 10 this coun
try. who come to secure the benefits of our
educational system. The mobiles and the
people generally of Japan now mix more
freely with foreigners, and show desire
to initiate them in everything worth learn
ing. In this respect Japan sets China a
good example.

Assasslnat,on of Marshai Pr,m.

Are assassins of Kings the instruments
of God +? This is theological question
we are not exactly prepared to answer
ourselves. and, therefore, leeve it to the
doctors. But certainly it would appear
that Marshal Prim has fallen at the right
moment and in the right way, we mean
for the good of his country and the estab-
lishmept of the cause to which he had
devoted all the energies of his great soul.
The foundation of the new monarchy
be had erected needed just such noble
blood to cement it. Everywhere was dis
sension. The kingdom was moved as with
the throes of an earthquake, and the new
throne was toppling to its fall, when sud-
denly this deed of horror is done. The
greatest man in Spain is stricken down by
the hand of an assassin, ,-and startled, ap-
palled, terror-stricken, the voice Of faction
is silenced, and order is restored by the
very violence of the reaction.
Prim has been the sacrifice, the martyr
the Codrus and Curtius of his country, and
Spain is saved from herself--from anarchy.
Talk not to us of Repubicanism in Spain.
The thing is impossible. We have seen it
tried by the Spanish race and fail, even on
this continent where the soil is SO rich for
the growth of the Republican plant
The fall of Prim, we believe, will give
peace to Spain and under limited con-
stitutional monarchy, presided over by
liberal, enlightened prince,an directed by
wise craftsmanship, "proud old Cas-
tile" will once more take foremost place
among the nations of the earth. If this
consummation, so deyoutiy to be wished
for, be fulfilled, then will Juan Prim not
have died in vain and in his death posterity
will recognize the will Of God. fl

ANXIOUS TO MARRY.-The Marion Star
speaks of an elopement extraordinary of a
Mr. and Miss Hubble, who passed through
that place Wednesday on their way to the
Southwestern Gretna Green. We should
Judge that the eloping couple was quite a
courageous one, as they rode from home
after night, passing over mountain
during heavy snow storm, and both
riding the same horse. The couple are
first cousins, and aged respectively fifteen
and eighteen years. 1t is astonishing
what woman will go through to get
married.
The same paper describes the novel
wedding of Mr.. William Cox and Miss
Mary Buchanan, which occurred in that
place last week. The entire party, in
Guiding grooms and maids, formed on
horseback in front of Browns Hotel, and
the holy bond was joined by the minister
as he stood upon the porch.

Aa Infant Abandoned Last night, be-
tween and o'clock, Mr.. VIM. P. Morris who
resides on Grace, between Monroe and Henry
streets, found wrapped up in cloak lying on
his front porch, fine, healthy, white male in
fant, apparently about months old. The
little waif Immediately set up an outcry that
showed he was gifted with healthy pair of
lungs, and his discoverer took him inside to a
good fire. Here it was found on examination
that the little cuss was tolerably we'll clad and
very good looking, and the conclusion arrived
at that whoever abandoned it, was heartless
wretch. Capt Epps being notified at the Sd
Station House, sent for the child, and had it
conveyed to the Aims House, where it will find
doubtless good shelter and kind treatment for
the present.

"AvERY" writes this in the Cincinnati
Commercial about Andy Johnson's tailor
shop, in Greenville: "The shop Is Just
about as it was when johnson worked In
it. The bench that he wore smooth by
crossing his legs is gone, the rebels having
used it for kindling-wood, but the house
remains, and is kept in good repair. Relic
hunters have carried off the weather-board-
ing that was formerly upon it up to the
distance of four or five feet, but this has
been replaced by new. The relic-hunters,
however, still continue to haggle away al
it, and its occupants say they would have
carried off the whole building If moi
watched closely"

Whiskey Making.-We believe there is
not single steam distillery now at work in the
third internal revenue district of Virginia.
The stream of the ardent that keeps up the
spirits of our young and old men by pouring
spirits down, is generated elsewhere. The
manufactures of the seductive fluid in this dis
trict have been silent for months, consequently
the third district has not offered any bright
prospects to enterprising revenue officers to
increase their scanty means of subsistence by
ferretting out any frauds in the whiskey line.
That line is now pretty well played out, though
it was for some time worked with yigor in
years gone by.

SOME good has grown out of the hote
fire in this city. the loss of SO many
lives which might have been saved If pro-
per precautions had been taken, has arous-
ed public attention to the want of facilities
for escape from burning buildings, and an
order has been issued by the authorities
in New York city that fire escapes shall
be placed upon every hotel. There are
quito number of patent fire escapes,
simple in construction and cheap in price,
which are especially adapted to private
residences, and one or more OF these
articles should be placed in every house.
The best fire escape however, is a
knotted rope, which every guest in hotel
can keep in his trunk. A traveller informs
the New York Commercial that he goes
prepared for escape from burning hotels
by carrying in his satchei coil of half
inch rope, forty or fifty feet long, knotted
every two feet, to give better hold. On
two occasions he has found it serviceable.
No one knows at what time an emergency
requiring the use of an escape may occur.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. - New
Hampshire, on the second Tuesday OF
March. opens the spring political canvass.
The indications are that the campaign will
be an exciting and closely-contested one.
The two parties are more nearly equal in
New Hampshire than in any OF the other
New England States, with the possible
exception of Connecticut. The Republi-
cans have always hitherto profted by the
dissensions of their opponents, but these
have now been healed, and with labor
reform ticket in the field they have hard
struggle before them. The Republican
majority last spring was about thirteen
hundred.

ANorHEH IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE
DsoIpED. An important insurance suit
has Just been decided by Michigan court
The case at issue was that Of man robbed
and murdered while walking home. He
held a policy in an accident insurance
company, and upon this his administrator
sued to recover. The court, however,
ruled that travelling on foot cannot be con-
strued to meet the conditions of the pol
icy which prescribe recovery My when
the accident is the result Of travelling " by
privata nr public conveyance" Tho court
thereupon sustained the company in it
refusal to pay its policy upon the murder
ed mans life. This is certainly a very
strict construction of the law, so strict, in
deed as TO render the present form of the
policies of accident companies less value
able than they have been considered. Ilol
ders Of them certainly understood that
they covered accidents to the person, no
matter under what circumstances accidents
occurred. For instance, under this decision
their validity would seem to lapse the
moment the insured set foot upon th
ground, even in leaving one train for an
other, or in going from his carriage to his
horses head.

Fire.-The alarm of fire given abou,
three o'clock this morning, was caused by the
discovery of smoke issuing from the shauty on
Locust Alley, used as an apple stand, in rear
of the Tri Mountain restaurant. The occupant,
a coiored man, had left pan of charcoal
burning, which, by some means set FIRE to the
floor of his domicil. An early and opportune
discovery, by policemen Keegan and Harmon,
in all probability prevented an extensive con-
fagration, as there are quite number Of
ricketty, tumble-down wooden structures in
immediate proximity. The fire brigade was
out on this occasion with commendable alac-
rity, though its services were not needed, as 1t

during the present session of the Circuit court
of Richmond number of judgments have
been rendered against officers charged with
default in the payment of large sums collected
by them in various capacities for the Com

realized from these judgments, both the officers
sued and their securities, being in the main,

Fell Into the Ricer. Yesterday evening
q young man, named McCance, son Of Mr..
Thomas W. McCance, merchant of this city,
crossed the causeway of Mayo's bridge on
visit to the mill on the island, and on return
ing to this side, fell from the causeway when
about midway between the two abutments
nearest the island. The water is of tolerabe
depth at this point, and he fell into it, which
doubtless saved bin from fatal injury. There
happened to be at the place where he fell
bucket attached to a rope, which was used by
the workmen to supply themselves with water.
This was Immediately lowered to young
McCance, who was by its aid drawn up. He
was helped across the bridge to this side, and
with little assistance was enabled to proceed
home. His escape was lucky one.
