PERSECUTION IN JAPAN.-lhe Overland
China Mail says on this subject:
"The cruelties of 1870 are said to be now in
process of repetition, the prince of Saga being
the inst-ator, aud an official from the mikadO's
court being the superintendent torturer. The
Nagasaki Gazette devoteS a long article to the
subject and oives so many statements of fact
in the course thereof that we feel constrained
to respond TO his call upon the brethren of the
press to assist in exposing to the Indignation of
the civilized world the iniquitOuS prosecutions
which the poor native Christians are being
daily subjected to in Nagasaki; and to raise
their Temonstrance, as in one voice, against our
Christian powers tolerating in the future such
an inducement to the merciless government of
Japan as that which the absence from our trea-
ties of any clause protecting the Christian re-
glon now presents 1t is said that the
number of intended victims is over two
thousand, and that they will be seized
TO be operated upon and improved off
the face Of the empire in as quiet
and unobtrusiyc a manner as possible. The
performance Of this latter good Intention of
saving the consciences Of inactive foreign states
men in Europe and America has been fortunate
ly prevented by the Gazette article, and we glad
ly aid in periecting the prevention OF such an
iniquity. 1t is sad to have 20 record, however,
that one batch of siXy-seven heads of families
had already been disposed Of and in this land
Of the rising sun, which is speedily being en-
lightened, and is advancing rapidly toward ma
terial civilization, the second lot was to have
been leIsurely murdered during the first week
OF this year. From the privacy with which this
effect of advanced civilization was being car
ried out, miserable victims were being playfully
twitted in this wise: This time your friends,
the foreigners, shall know nothing OF your tor
turings and suherngs." Iwakura 1.-THE official
at the head of the western embassy is one of
the greatest supporters oil this enOrmity.'
The japanese minister in Washington contra
diets these statements, but that there is some
foundation for them is unquestionable. In the
new treaties soon to be concluded between Japan
and the United States, and also with the Euro
pean powers, an effort will no doubt be made to
secure provisions for freedom Of conscience. If,
however, the japanese diplomatists suggest that
this is entirely a domestic matter, which, accord
ing to the customs of European diplomacy, each
nation assumes TO decide for itself without for
egn interference, and their country, taking its
place in the community Of nations, must assert
the same right, we do not see how they can be
successfully dislodged from this position

LONGEVITY OF BIRDs.-Among the ieathered
creation the eagle and raven, the swan and par
rot, are each centenarians An eagle kept in
Vienna died after confinement of ia years,
and on an ancient oak in Seborne, still known
as the raven tree" the same pair of ravens
are believed to have fixed their residence for
series of more than ninety years. Swans upon
the river Thames, about whose age there can be
no mistake, since they are annually nicked by
the winners company, under whose keeping
they have been known to survive 100 years and
more. The melody of the dying swan is entirely
physiological. Upon the approach of death the
bird quits the water, sits down upon the bank
lays Its head upon the ground, expands the
wings trifie and expires, utteriug no sound.
The extreme longevity of the parrot is equally
authentic. In the geological gardens of London
there is macaw that was admitted TO the tower
in The year 1854. AT Versailles, during the reign
of Charles \ there was always hanging a cage
in the Oeilde-bGug which contained parrot
purchased by the Regent Orleans for the
Duchess de Berri. There is not a collection of
birds in any Of the royal aviaries Of Europe that
has not its an lent parrot. The writer purchased
a gray African parrot in 1856, whose residence
In Wales was authenticated for seventy-seven
years. The bird, more wonderful for variety Of
speech than for her age, learning everything and
forgetting nothing, accomplished alike in the
Welsh tongue aud the English, born in Africa,
living more than three-quarters OF a century in
Europe, and dying in America might have
been alive now but for heedessness. In 1867
she had certainly approached, if she had not
reached and passed her one hundredth year.
Upon severely cold night IN December Of that
year she was sent from New York 10 Washing
ton, and persisted by the way. She was in per-
feet health, had never known day Of sickness,
showed no decrepitude, enjoyed life to the ut
most demanded no allowances or concessions
on the score of advanced years, and might, but
for an exposure to the rigor Of an unaccnstomed
climate, have been alive to-day - schqnge,

prnfessnr mnrse.

Professor Samuel Findlay Breese Morse, whose
death was announced in our dispatches yester-
day, was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts,
April ~, 1871. His father was the Rev Jedi
diab Morse, clergyman of eminencc, and the
author of text books on geography which for
many years were used in schools all over the
country. Mr.. Morse graduated at Yale college
in 1910, and the next year went TO England with
the purpose Of educating himself as an artist.
He studied with Benjamin West, and attained
so much of success as is implied in his obtain
ing a gold medal for his plaster model of the
Dying Hercules" After his return to the
United States in 1914, he painted portraits in
Boston, in New Hampshire, and in Charleston,
South Carolina. Some years later he
found more profitable employment in
his art in New York, where he painted
for the city a portrait of Lafayette and
founded the National Academy of Design, OF
which be was the first president. He was also
made professor OF the literature of the arts Of
design in the university in New York. On re-
turning from a second visit to Europe in 1882 on
the packet ship Sully, he was led to reflect upon
the capabilities of electricity as an agent
for conveying and recording intelligence. Pro-
lessor Jackson, of Boston, one of the claimants
of the honor of discovering the auasthetic
properties of sulphuric ether was a fellow pas
senger on the Sully, and each of these gentlemen,
we believe, claimed the merit of having first sug-
rsSssted the idea which was the germ of the cleo
~ telegraph. 1t is not important to decide the
pbint, for the thought, if it was in Jacksons
hind, remained unlruitfu while Morse deyel-
M0ped it, and for several years gave all his time
to perlecting the details of his invention In
1885 he proved it to be practicable by putting
an instrument in operation in the New York
university building; in 1887 he filed his caveat
in the patent office; in 1910 he perfected
his PATENT in 1913 after much discour-
agement and ridicule, congress by a
small majority appropriated $50 900 for his ex-
perimenis. In 1874 the FIRST lue was put into
operation between Baltimore and Washington.
This was Morse's triumph, aud thereafter hon
ors and rewards came thckly upon him. He
received medals of honor from most of the
European governments, and ten of them, at the
suggestion OF Louis Napoleon, joined in present.
ing him with the sum Of 400 900 francs. The
rare hohof oil statue erected during his life
was given him in New York, and probably no
inventor Of this country has a fame SO wide en-
during and enyiabe. Attempts have been made
10 take nom him the credit OF the invention of
the telegraph; but, whether it is Just or moi.
the verdict in his favor is probably too well set
tied ever 70 be disturbed. 1t is worth noting
IN this connection that the three men whose
names are most closely associated with the de.
yelopment Of the science of electricity and il,
practical triumphs, Franklin, Morse and Field
were all natives of Massachusetts,
