WORCESTER.
MONDAY. rEnRuARY 1e. 1879.

The japanese propose to revolutionize then
currency and financial system, and, in fact
have already begun the change. The japanese
embassy which was in this country and in En-.
gland, year ago or more; had charge of this
matter AT first they were inclined TO adopt the
English system, this seeming TO them better
than any ether which they examined in Europe;
but, when they reached the United States and
became acquainted with our system, their
views were changed, although the English
sought earnestly to prevent this. The japanese
commission finally decided TO adoptour decimal
system. taking our dollar as their unit, and i'm
mediately took measures to pat it in operation
Part of the commissioners went home to change
the coinage, and the Others remained here TO
supeiintend the printing of bills and bonds like
ours. This work, we believe, is not yet finished,
but the coinage has been SO far changed that
new coin is already circulating III Japan. An
article in the New York Times describes this
new Japanese coinage as follows:
'The lowest denomination of their gold coin is
'oue yen,' equal to one dollar. There are then
gold coins OF the denomination Of two, five. ten
and twenty yens. Inc silver coin is called sen,
the denominations being five, ten, twenty and
fifty sens, the lower denomination being equal
10 five cents of our currency. The copper coinage
is one sen, equal TO the one-hundredth part oil
one yen, one hall-sen, equal to the two
hundredth part of one yen, and one
rim, equal TO the one thousandth part. Of
one yen. These low denominations are
absolutely necessary in that land of cheap COM
modities and cheap labor"
This adoption of our financial system in Japan
gives us an advantage which was understood
and appreciated by the English, when they
sought so persistenlly to give Japan their sys-
TEN; but the Japanese commissioners decided
wisely, for not many years hence we shall have
more direct communication with their countr!
than all the nations of Europe together.

report came in from the insurance committee,
giving the reasons why the bill in favor of the
National insurance company ought TO pass, aud
also TO incorporate the bingham and CohaSset
mutual fishing insurance company. Bills were
introduced, TO clear up any doubt there may be
as to whether the general statutes give cities the
power TO appoint supeiintendents of public
schools; and to authorize the town OF Maiden
to issue water bonds.
The senate, although its session was so brief

The Sessions of Saturday.

BosToN, Feb. 10.
Whue the senate transacted all its business in
rev minutes to-day, the house held together
for two hours, the principal cause of this cohe-
sion being the discussion on the charter of your
Peoples club. When this bill came nm Mr.
kim5all of Boston saw his opportunity TO pre.
vent an agreement on the question of the exemn.
tion OF charitable land religious property from
taxation, and read a remarkable statement or
the immense amount Of property now exempted
from taxation in various towns and cities. But
the house evidently thought the law, If one
should be enacted, should be general in its ap
plication, and passed the bill to be engrossed,
There is no doubt however, that a law should
be made limiting the amount of property to be
exempt from taxation. The list Of matters in
the orders Of the day was unusually long, and
every one was disposed Of The most important
one was the bill to abolish the state almshouscs

gins without preface or introduction, contains
seventeen essays, with the following titles
Open Questions; Individualsm; Transcendent-

statement, definition, or logical method. They
are written il the style which battles reporters
