The rapidity with which Japan,
once started in the race of civilization,
has moved forward, is among the
most interesting phenomena Of our
day. Each post brings some fresh
example of this, and makes us won
der at the striking difference, in this
regard, between Japan and her neigh
Dor China. We now learn that the
Japanese Government has establish
ed a patent law, that women are
granted equal rights with men in Wis
iting temples, &C.; that all indecent
pictures or other exhibitions are
henceforth prohibited from all we
have heard a wondrous stride in ad-
vance-that gas is to be laid down at
once in Yokohama, that fine sus-
pension bridge is in progress at Yed-
do, and that the lately burnt district
of that city is to be rebuilt with streets
ninety feet wide. 81

THERE are now in this country 119
German American papers for Grant, and
1O5 for Greeley. Among those support
Ing Greeley only three are Of any great
Importance, while the influential journals
advocating the cause of the Republican
party and the reelection Of Gen. Grant,
are quite numerous, -numbering about
fifteen. The New York Handezseituag,
gives its opinion of the nomination of
Greeley as candidate of the Democratic
party in this way: aE
"The relation between Greeley and the
Democrats is thoroughly impure, untrue,
and immoral. In it there is no trace of
respect or confidence. The Democrats
desire to use Greeley and those Republi.
cans that may cling to him, to get them.
selves again into power. Greeley wants
to use them for the same purpose, and his
own personal interests. Each party has
tue honest desire to outwit the other. Out
OF such condition possibly no good can
come for the nation it can not be made
the basis of our public affairs. The re-
public dare not desecrate the completion
OF It's first century by sanctiening such a
dirty traffic. Greeley forfsits the public
respect in uniting himself with the ele.
ments that are sufficiently known to him,
merely to satisfy personal ambition: and
change for the better In the Democratic
party is not to be believed, when il places
that man at It's head who has ever shown
1t his thorough contempt. The plant of
liberty does not thrive in the marshes Of
corruption ; the public welfare not in the
swamps of the lie.

HOW A PRINTER GOT HIS
PAY.

A circus company in Iowa owed
an editor a bill for advertising and
refused to pay it. Thereupon the
editor called upon the sheriff, who at
tached the Bengal tiger and brought
him around to the newspaper Office
in his cage. He was placed in the
composing-room, and during the first
two days he not only consumed fifteen
dollars worth Of beef, but he scratch
ed six dollars worth of trowsers
from the leg of a local reporter who
endeavored to stir him up with a
broom-handle to make him roar. On
the third day the tiger broke loose,
and the entire force of printers de-
scended the staircase with judicious
suddenness. The editor was alarm
ed to find his exit through the COM
posing-rooms cut off, and that the
latch upon the sanctum door was
broken. SO he climbed out Of win
dow and sought safety upon the roof.
The paper was not issued for week,
and even after the tiger was shot the
editor had to slide down the water
spout, because he was afraid to de-
scend by the route by which he
came.

In enc of his plays Addison makes an un.

The Power OF SYMPATHY
There is no class Of sympathy which
is not humanized and liberalized, in
feelings and sentiments, by frequent
and friendly intercourse. We are
born to sympathize for each other in
pleasure as well as grief. The soci-
al feelings are improved where
amusements are participated in, in
common with our fellow-men; the
mind warns and expands, and be-
comes sensible to pleasures unknown
to him whose enJoyments are all but
solitary-who confines all his inter
ests and happiness and concern to
the narrow circle of his own selfish
ness. The soul becomes iberalized
and enlightened when mingling in
the society Of others, and particular
ly when sharing in their pleasures.

The business of makeral fishing in
Newburyport is gradully decreasing, and.
only thirty five vessels are nows employed
instead of two hundred, as formerly. The
reason ofthis decline is the custom of EN-.
ploying more costly class of vessels
than formerly, and the consequent in>
