Running in Debt,

There is nothing that makes n man
more CUutrmptibIc in his own ewes than
owing money when he can not pay it,.
He feels that he is in false position -
that instead of ranking with the respect

his position with the moancst classes, for
he is walking about under fnlsc colors.

pies tables. living in houses. lodging.
and using furniture that do not belong
to him. aud that if he were to act like
an honest man. and pay for what he has
he must dress less, eat palmer food. and
dwell IN back streets: he would then be
far more respectable aud worthy
man than the scamp who wilrully in
cur- debts which nj the time he knows
he cannot pay. Many m honest man

Embassy to the Treaty Powers.

4 full Embassy, probably the most important
one in it's results which has ever been sent out
by an Eastern Power, will sail from Japan about
December Odd, by the steamship America for San
Francisco. All who have gone from any Eastern
nation heretofore have been composed of men of
inferior rank to these. This one is headed by
Iwakura, late Minister of Foreign Affairs, now
Prime Minister of Japan. He comes as Prime
Minister, and clothed with all the powers of an
Ambassador of the first rank. He is seconded
by KIDD, Chief of the Emperor's Privy Council,
and Okoboo, Chief Minister of Finance. Ito,
Chief Minister of Public Works, and Yamagoochi,
Westminster of Foreign Affairs, accompany the
Embassy as Ambassadors of the second class.
Total, > Ambassadors, 8 Secretaries, 81 officials
Including a physician), and 10 attendants-44
all told. Eight of these officials will continue
around the world with the Embassy, while Is
will remain as students at different points where
needed. All members of the Embassy continue
to hold their rank and position while absent.
Twenty-one young noblemen will also company
the Embassy as far as the United States, and
remain there as students.
One member of the Embassy will be detached
at San Francisco, to visit Honolulu, where there
are at present about 100 Japanese residing.
Charles Wolcott Brooks, for II years past Consul
of japan at San Francisco, has been attached to
tie Embassy and ordered to accompany them
through 10 the United States and Europe.
The objects Of this important mission are as
follows Parliament has decided that it is de-
sirable that the ruling classes should see for
themselves the advantages or disadvantages de-
rived from foreign intercourse, and not be here
after dependant on reports of inferior and younger
officers who have visited Western powers. Hon.
Charles Z. belong, our Minister 70 Japan, will
accompany the Embassy as far as Washington.
in his official capacity as Minister, to assist the
United States Government In treating intelligently
on such questions as may arise in Washington.
This party is composed Of the highest and most
influential men in the empire none higher can
be sent, save the Mikado himself.
Their mission looks to a thorough study of
Western civilization and a settlement of the still
somewhat vexed question of the advantages of
complete foreign intercourse to Japan, as well as
10 considerations connected with the Tevisions of
the foreign treaties with Japan, to take place in
July next. The Embassy is not, strictly speak
ing, a t~reaty-making one at present, but rather a
grand corps of observation on whose report the
future Of Japan depends.
The appointment of the Embassy was a pro-
found secret until a day before the Great Republic
sailed. During that time there was a perfect
battle among the foreign diplouatists at Iedo as
to whether they should first visit Europe or
America America won. They are due at San
Francisco about January 18th, ls72.-Aha.
