DE LoNG's OPINION OF JAPAN
Minister De Long, who for two years
represented American interests in Japan,
was called upon at San Francisco the
other night for a speech, and said:
" There are two or three reasons why
must observe silence on this occasion.
First, by the rules of the Department of
which am the servant, / am forbidden
from indulging in the luxury of public
speaking. Secondly, l SIN too full of
gratitude to express my feelings, if per-
mitted. You must not con-
found these Japanese with the Chinese.
[Cheers.] l have just returned from an
extended trip into the interior of Japan,
and | can say to you tonight, in all truth,
that instead of it being an over-populated
country, ready to pour forth an imm-
gLation, that within five years they will
be needing and asking for white labor to
develop their miner and industries !;
while the Chinese are a subjugated race,
with all their energies crushed out Of
them, the japanese have never known
a master. They are native gentlemen,
with all the courage belonging to true
nobility. While China is forging her
chains and enveloping herself in dark
uess, Japan, by this Embassy, is striking
down the barriers and introducing on her
soil the civilization and enterprise of the
Western nations. 1t is a duty you owe,
and are well performing, to receive this
Embassy as you are, and you are form
ing friendship which will be of lasting
and permanent value, and whose effects
you would feel in the contingency of
war with China. You are sowing the
seed that will blossom with great result
to your city and your State"

DIDN'T KNOW ADAM.--As Artcmus
Ward was once travelling in the cars,
dreading to be bored and feeling miser-
ably, II man approached him, sat down
and said
"Did you hear the last thing on Horace
Greeley ?"
"Greeley Greeley ?" said Artemus.
" Horace Greeley ?"
The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon he said
George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal Of row over in England do
you think they will put him in bastilc ?''
Train ? Train? I? Francis Train ?''
said Artemus, solemnly. " / never heard
Of him."
This ignorance kept the man quiet for
fifteen minutes then he said:
" What do you think about General
Grants chances for the Presidency DO
you think they will run him ?'
Grant ? Grant ? hang it, man." said
Artemus, "you appear to know more
strangers than any man ever saw"
The man was furious he walked up
the car, but at last came back and said :
You confounded ignoramus, did you
ever hear of Adam ?"
Artemus looked up and asked, "What
was his other name ?"

EARLY NAVIGATION.

! THE first steamboat that ever plowcd
the waters of the Bay of San Francisco
and the Sacramento river was the "Sit-
ka, a Russian built tern-whee vessel.
about sixty feet in length by seventeen in
breadth, owned by Captain Ledesdorff.
The next was a stcrn-wheel steam scow,
named Lady Washington," built at
Suffers Embarcadero, in September,
1910, and was owned by Simons, Hutch
inson IL Co., and Smith, Bensley Il Co.,
of that place was run upon the upper
rivers, and was the pioneer steam vessel
above the mouth of the American river.
The next was the side-wheel steamer that
was sent by ship from New York, and
put together in Sacramento city there
named the Sacramento" and was run
between Sacramento and New York ton
the Paciic-a city of great pretentions,
which was located near the mouth of the
San Joaquin river, but long since detuncD
- and there connected with line of
schooners from San Francisco. This
vessel was owned and commanded by
Captain John Van Pclt. A number of
steamers more or less prctentious soon
followed in the wake of the two named
to wit small craft called the "Mint :"
then the propeller " McKim," of 400 tons
burthcn, which was sent from New
Orleans in lSiS, via the Straits of Magel-
Ian. 1t took the McKim" " over a year
to make the trip. Then came the "Scn-
ator," 500 tons burthcn, which made the
voyage around Cape Horn, and arrived
at San Francisco on the 9th of October,
lSl9. During the first year of her opera
tions, between San Francisco and Sacra-
mento, her net profits We're over $50, 900
per month. The rates of passage were
so per passenger up, and $50 down.
Meals 81 each; statcrooms $40 each
freight from $40 to $50 per ton. The next
boat that made its appearance in these
waters was stern wheel steamboat
called the " Lawrence" los feet in length,
and Is feet wide. She was brought out
by New Bedford company, and made
her first trip between San Francisco and
Stockton, in November, 1919, and was
the first steamboat that arrived at or
sailed from this city. Afterwards she
was sold to another company, who sent
her up the Feather river, to Marysville,
which was also the first steamboat that
over assembled that river. Then came
the Linda" the "Gold-liuntor," and
the "Jack Hayes" which was the first
steamboat that ever ascendcd the Sacra-
mento river to Tehama. The Captain
Suttcr" then followed, which was tho
first to make regular trips between San
Francisco and Stockton Goiden City.

A PRETTY good story is told of citi-
zen Of Elizabeth, N. j., who went to the
cars on Thanksgiving day to see his
daughter off. Having secured a seat for
her, he left the car and went around to
her window to say parting word. While
he was passing out the daughter left the
seat to speak to friend, and at the same
time a primlooliidg lady who occupied
the seat with her moved up to the win
dow. Unaware of the important changes
inside, our venerable friend hastily put
his head up to the window and hurriedly
exclaimed: Zone more kiss, sweet pet" "
In another instant the point of a blue cot
ton umbrella caught his seductive lips,
accompanied by the passionate injunc-
ton: "Scat, you gray-headed wretch ~

AN EXTRAORDINARY GAME OF MIN
IsTERIAL EUCHER.--Ncar n late New
Jersey camp-meeting, two clergymen, n
Baptist and Methodist, were walking,
when they saw little girl sitting ON II
stone and weeping bitterly.
" What is the matter, my little girl ?"
asked the Baptist kindly.
" My-my father was k-kiled on the
railroad few days ago, and has just
been buried, sir and my mother is sick
a-bcd and can't work, and we have moth
ing to eat and don't know what to do, Z"
sobbed the little girl, crying as if her
heart would break.
" a truly lamentablc case do indeed
pity you )" said the Baptist, frigidly, as
if he were plying some ico-cream he
could not eat.
" How much do you pity her, Brother
c.? / pity her FIVE dollars ~ yelled the
Methodist rs he threw V into the girls
lap.
= ! double your pile, Brother P.," the
Baptist brother said, as he slowly placed
an X over the V.
" | go you one BETTER" the Methodist
bawlcd out, as he put ten on the other
money.
" | cover your stake, Brother P.," and
the Baptist clergymans expression showed
he was getting excited, as II twenty from
his purse was put on the rapidly increas-
ing pile.
" "I'll top the spons with fifty % howled
Brother p, as he drew out his last note
and placed it with the others, glaring
savagely at his companion.
Here's n hundred dollar note, little
girl" said the Baptist, quito blandly,
now that he had got ahead of his Mctho-
dist brother-in-the-L Lord. You had bet
ter rake in the spois, for you've cleaned
out and euchered both my friend and
myself, and left us dead broke.'"
Then they walked off humming astune.
Now what we would like to know is,
what did those clergymen do before they
were converted ?

THE TRUE BowERY Wendell
Phillips, in his lecture on Street Life in
Europe" gave one little instance of street
life in America. Thackcry, on his visit
here many years ago, was anxious to see
a genuine Bowery Boy, and n friend
pointed out to him one leaning against n
lamp post, with his hands in his pockets,
his scalp locks carefully regulated over
his eyebrow, and his cigar tilted upright
between his teeth. Thackcry was de-
lighted and determined to interview tho
monster. SO he strobe with his manly,
sweeping gait, carrying that ever present
bengnancy of expression on his face, up
to the Boy" and remarked very inno-
Gently, "Sir-excusc me-but | would

THERE was always something irrcsist-
IDLY comic in the story they used to tell
about foppish passenger on Mississip,
pi boat, who, "just to have little fun
jumped on shore at landing, and draw
ing a bowie knife, rushed up to a gawky,
looking fellow at wood pile, exclaiming,
"I've found you at last-you're the man
I've been looking for" The gawky
looked at him halfa second, then straight
encd out his arm like a jibboom and
knocked the fellow overheard into ten
feet of water. Resuming his position
against the wood pile, he looked up al
the deck Of the steamboat and drawled
out, " Is there anybody else on this boat
looking for me ?"

recently ordered, in which the military
records " of the officers ard soldiers en-.
gagged in the late war are to be copied
from the worn-out records of the War
Department. 1t will take twenty-five
clerks five years to complete the work.
The fourth story is used as folding
room and here are also stored tons upon
tons of printed documents, piled high to
the ceiling. The specification room,
where the list of all patents, claims and
specifications of the Patent Office, "a bus
mess amounting to 100000 per annum)
are printed, is also on this floor.
One can scarcely form an idea OF the
magnitude and importance of this, the
greatest printing and binding establish
ment in the world, unless they tread the
long rooms, amid the deatcning roar of
the huge machinery, and the inccssant
click Of the bndery, whore one thousand
employees of both sexes are industriously
at work, or look over the yearly disburse-
ments for the purchase of material and
compensation of services, aggregating a
sum of 81 ,609,S59 92.
Notwithstanding the expense seems
very considerable, and is constantly in
creasing under the necessities of grow
ing population, yet this department, by
its economies, annually saves the govern
ment half million of dollars, and at
the same time, by improving the standard
of printing and binding, exempliics our
progress as II nation."
