BosToN, Feb. %, 1872.
Twenty members of the senate voted this after
noon to engross the bill to prohibit the sale of
beer which is allowed by the present liquor law,
and as there were only twelve senators voting
against the bill it was passed. The bill had
been on the table for some days in accordance
with what seems to be a tacit rule in the senate
that important matters shall be conveniently
left for a few days, and then taken up and pat
through. An attempt was made TO refer the
bill to the next general court, previous to the
engrossment, The senators who voted against
the bill were Messrs. Boardm IN, He%es, john
son, Learned, Long, Potter, Richardson, Stafford
Smith, Tarbox, Torrey, and Whitney of Brook
line. Messrs. Fuller, Hale, Sheldon, Stickney,
Thayer of Worcester, Whitney of Wiuchendon,
and Woods did not vote on the bill at all.
The petition for the formation of new town
out Of portion of Abingdon, was referred TO
the next generl court, so that the petitioners
will not be behind time next year. The bills to
incorporate the bingham public library, to cs.
tabli>h the boundary line between West Hamp-
ton and the other HamDtons, to extend the time
for the location of the Ames5ury railroad, and
the Springfield and Longmeadow railroad, and
TO increase the salary of the justice of The police
court of Fall River, were passed 10 third read
ing among others. A bill w0s reported to in
corporate the New England mutual insurance
company with a permanent fund of 5000 900,
while leave to withdraw was granted to the pc
titoners for the incorporation of the Trimoun-
tain insurance company. The committee on
the judiciary was instructed to consider whether
any further legislation is necessary to enable
the governor to remove his appointees. Messrs
fhayer of Worcester and Ames of Bristol wete
designated by President Coolidge, as the senate
members of the committee to determine the
time in which committees may report.
If the dismissiOn of many petitioners with the
short verdict Of "leaye to withdraw" is progress
then the house is getting along swimmingly.
| Five requests were 50 answered to-day, among
them being the petitions for the increase of the
salary of the clerk of the district court of cen

A FLATTERlNG AND HONORABLE OFFER.
Mr.. M3rl, the ambassador of the japanese en-

principal objects in visiting this country, an in
VeStigation of our school system, with the pur-
pose of bringing his observations to bear upon
The Improvement of the educational system OF
Japan. 1t is the intention to remodel the entire
school system Of the empire, basing it largely
upon the American plan. To do this the English
language Will be taught, and If possible an al
phabet adopted in place of the cumbersome one
now in use. To bring about these results, Mr.,
hor has been authorized to engage some COM
Detent American to go to Japan, assume entire
control OF the system of public instruction there,
and TO carry out the details spoken of, in con-
nection with Others. In conversation with prom
nent men in Washington, he has been referred
to BTdsey q. Northrop, secretary of the Con-
nectcut board of education, as the person most
competent to undertake the task. Mr. Mori has
SOUGHT several interviews with Secretary
Northrop, and has at last made him the propos-
a. to 90 TO Japan and assume the duties spoken
Of. 1t VIII require him to make his residence
there The salary named is $4,000 a year in
gold. Secretary NOrthrop holds the matter up-
der advisement, and will not act on it for some
months. 1t will, in the meantime, not interfere
with his present duties. The offer, whatever
disposition is made Of it, cannot but be regarded
rs most flattering and important one.-N. II.

saccharine juice, bul we have never heard of an
attempt 10 manufacture it into sugar A
very strong spirit is sometimes made Of it,,
which, when refned, is said to be equal in every
respect 10 the best West India rum. But we are

The first custom house appointment under the
new civil service rules, or, at least, in accord
anee with their spirit, seems 10 have been made
in New Haven, where the position of inspector
lately became vacant by death. The collector,
Cyrus Northrop, gave notice that all persons
desiring the Office must submit TO an examina-
ton by a committee selected by him for that
purpose. Thirteen applicants, one of whom
was a negro, presented themselves, and TO each
was presented paper containing ten questions,
seven concerning directly the business of an in
spector, two relating 10 geography and one TO
arithmetic. The answers were made in writing,
and on the next day were read TO the commit
tee, so that there might be no chance of their
being influenced by recognizing the hand
writing. The person who made the most salts
factory answers proved to be Mr. W. r. Lloyd,
who had served in the custom house some
Yeas, and was removed when Mr.. Northrop
came into office. He has, of course, received the
appointment.

Our neiEhbors in the eastern part of the Do
mnon have two projects under consideration to
overcome some Of the natural obstacles in the
way of their commercial advancement. In the
one case the obstacle is a neck of land through
which it is proposed to cut a canal, in the other,
narrow strait which, it is thought, may be tun-
neled to advantage. The isthmus is that which
connects Nova Scotia with New Brunswick.
ship canal through this isthmus, which is less
than twenty miles wide, would connect the Bav
oil Fundy with Cumberland strait and the Gull
Of St. Lawrence, and provide a much shorter
and less dangerous passage for the commerce
which now passes around the peninsula of Nova
Scotia in its way between the ports of the river
and gulf of st. Lawrence INCLUDING those OF
Prince Edwards Island) and the United States
The other project is TO connect, by tunnel I'm.
der the Strait oil Canso, the mainland of Nova
Scotia with Cape Breton island. The object is
not only TO connect the rich coal fields OF
Cape Breton with the other paris OF
the province of Nova Scotia, but more
especially 10 extend the railway system
OF the continent eastward to Louisburg,
the most eastery port, and one of the best har-
bOrs IN British America, and thus make it the
starting point for European steamers, shorten
ing the ocean voyage by many miles. The est.
mated cost Of the tunnel is 50 500 900, and the
laciillles lor constructing the railroad line from
the strait to Louisburg are said TO be very
great It is possible that the projected line
may be, as the ST. John Telegraph saws a mar,
