From the Union OF Wednesday

From the Union OF Wednesday,
A few evenings since two Cinnamon
visited a liquor store on J street, and
asked to see samples of wine, rs they
wished to buy some. After sampling
wines OH tho upper floor, the gentle
man In charge invited them to the
basement to see others. Ono Of the
Cinnamon went with him, but the
other remained above. While In the
basement the salesman heard footsteps
In the store, proceeding toward tho
office, and assembled as soon rs possible,
but found the Chlnaman that had re-
manned up stairs standing leaning
against the front door. On examining
the money drawer, it was found to
have been robbed of its contents,
which luckily amounted to emily three
or four dollars. By that time both Of
the Cinnamon had disappeared.
Nearly all the farmers Of the upper
Sacramento are suffering very severely
from the high water, especially In the
matter Of stock, Of which many hun
dred head have been drowned, and a
large portion Of the remainder are
being sustained by means Of hay
shipped up from this vicinity, or fodder
kept OH hand ut tho ranches. Charles
f. Reeds ranch, about half n mile
back OF knights Landing, was only
reached by the water about three or
four days ago, and now about 300
acres Of wheat and 200 Of alfalfa are
oyerflowed.
The Sacramento, probably in conse-
quence Of the gale from the northwest,
rose Mt this point about three inches,
standing at dark % feet above low
water mark.

ENGLISH OPINION OF Mr.. DE LONG.
The arrival Of tho Japanese Embassy
renders the publication Of an English
opinion Of Mr.. De Long specially APP
propriate at this time. The Yokoha-
ma Mail Of tho 23d ult., says:
We must acknowledge in justice to
Mr.. De Long that he has been an ac-
tive and efficient Minister, and the
American interests have been faith
fully upheld by him. We shall not
open up past grievances or advert to
the causes which first led US to oppose
him. Our object rather now 10 to wish
him n temporary farewell, aud to COM
mend to his best care the real interests
Of this country, which he may not be
without the power Of furthering In
America. His views cannot be with
out influence upon the minds Of the
ENJOYS with whom he travels, and
whom 1t will be his duty to Introduce
10 the Foreign Minister at Washing
ton. We trust this influence will be
used to promote the cordial co-opera-
ton of America with the other Treaty
Powers In all measures calculated to
benefit Japan, and that this co-opera-
ton may be fruitful In good results at
the time Of the revision of tue treaties.

A New TNvRNTIoN.-Immediately
after the declaration Of war against
Prussia, proposals wore made to the
Emperor Napoleon by IN inventor, for
"annihllating" the Prusslans on rea-
sonsble terms. An immense net Of fine
wire, capable OF enveloping M entire
army corps, with solid cannon balls
attached to the corners to keep 1t
steady, was to have been fired ut the
foe from a monster mortar provided
for that purpose. The wire net would,
according to the intentions Of the in
ventor, havo fallen on the body Of
troops marked out for destruction or
capture, when, seeing tho enemy en-
tangled in the meshes, tho French
would have nothing to do but to march
up to them and disarm them, or, In
case OF resistance, put them to death.
Tho rejection Of this new military ma
chine WINS attributed by the inventor to
"treachery" OH the part of the chiefs
who declined to employ It.

San Francisco neighbors seem to be

ored japanese guests, judging from
the following from the Post:
The students and sub-attaches Of the

places around the city, and when an
object that they saw pleased their
fancy, they would buy 1t. In many
cases the storekeepers asked rather ex-
brilliant prices and in n place We
noticed IS asked and paid for a CON-
mon two-bit necktie. Chinatown was
also visited ; the Japs creating quite q
commotion, the Chinese seeming well
pleased, but tho Japs disguised, II 1t
could be judged with any degree Of
correctness from their countenances.

Hydrophobia-A Policeman tho Vic
tim Of Gho Horrible MaIndy.

[Frsm tho Chicago Times, December 16th.l
On last evening, Police officer Eben
II. Hinkley, of the Second precinct, re-
ported at the station-house for duty.
The platoon Of which no was a NOM
Der was to 60 out at z o'clock. Officer
Huxley on entering the station-house
made a remark to tile effect that 1t was
going to be a bad night to travel a beat;
he wished he was not one Of the unfor-
tunate ones. A few minutes later he
complained of sickness and In a very
short time no could hardly hold up his
head. One Of his brother officers then
went to the captain and asked him II
Huxley had not better be taken home.
Captain Miller replied that If the man
was sick most assuredly they must take
care of him. A policeman then started
up Madison street with officer Hink-
ley. At the corner Of HalsteQd, Hink-
ley commenced swapping his teeth to-
gether, and barked like a dog. He be-
came 80 violent that tho officer with
him hurried him into Tllden's livery
stable and procured carriage In which
to convey him to his residence on Absr-
deem street. While In the stable Hink-
ley asked for q cup Of water, and when
1t was presented to him he flew Into =
violent fit; his teeth snapped no
barked with his mouth; and he kicked
and struggled feaIfully. In the moan
time word had been conveyed to the
police-statlon, and in a short time sev-
eral officers arrived, and the unfortu-
nate man was placed In the carriage
and forcibly hold down until his house
was reached. Whom informed of her
husbands sickness, Mrs. Huxley
tainted away, and for n while the DILL
cers had a good deal to attend to. DIR.
Clarke soon arrived, however, and was
OF great assistance. Shortly after they
had reached tho house, Huxley had
another severe attack, and 1t was all
that five stout policemen could do to
hold him on the bed. When he had
quieted down he asked why so many
officers were near him. He was fur
nisled with the desired information,
and then he told them that about two
years and a half ago, while fondling q
little dog, he had been bitten. He had,
however, never been troubled before.
The doctor says Hlnkley cannot live
more than three or four days.

collect 1t as soon az possible. A few

of the bill, which he paid to B, less ton

LETTERS AsTRAY.

Among the annual statistics comes
the suggestive fact that three millions
Of letters found their way to the "dead
letter" Office during the past year.
This indicates inattention to precau-
ton In writing directions and in post
Ing. When a person has taken pains
to write n letter, It is "labor lost" If
the letter miscarries. When one ex-
poets a message or information from
tho absent, 1t Is vexation and disap-
ment, and may indeed DO loss and dis
comfort not to receive II. The blame
Of the miscarriage cannot be charged
upon the Post Office employees until
1t Is shown that the writers have done
all that the matter required Of them.
And II the pnblic knew what strange
aud illegible writing tho Post Office
people have to decipher, what mis-
takes to correct, and what omissions to
supply, tho wonder would be not that
there are so many mlscarrlages, but
that there are so few. Having finished
the inside, attend carefully to the d.
rection, using no authorizations. Make
yourself sure. rs nearly rs you can, OF
your correspondents exact address,
and write 1t out fully and legibly,
Be sure, when oil Is done, that the
letter goes into the office at once. II
after due and particular attention to
the requirements rs specified above
your letter goes astray and wanders
off among the three millions to the
dead letter Office, you will have the
supreme satisfaction Of knowing 1t Is
not your fault. But it will not 60
astray ; mover fear.

Bear me afRr to realms whose brightness

Tho Japanese Emba.sy-whns II
Represents.

The San Francisco Bulletin says that
at the first reception Of the Japanese
Embassy at San Francisco, In response
to inquiries by q gentleman OF the
press, Minister belong has stated that
the Government of Japan is divided
Into nine departments: Religion.
Education, Finance, Foreign Affairs,
Army, Navy, Agriculture, Public
Works, and the Judicial. From each
Of these departments there are three
Ministers attached to this Embassy.
They rank as Secretaries Of the En-
bassy. They are In their several do
partments Ministers of high rank. and
are vested with large powers while on
this Embassy. Their object Is to In
vestigate into and examine closely tho
workings of corresponding depart
ments to those which they are attached
in each Of the countries through which
they pass. They have no connection
with the diplomatic mission Of the
Embassy, that being confined to what
I have called the Embassy proper;
but while that portion Is proceeding
with its treaty and other c%onsidera'
lions, these Ministers will be diligently
pursuing their mission In the various
branches of industry and government
which they respect. There are seven
or eight japanese Princes, or Damios,
connected with tho Embassy. These
occupy a peculiar position. Until re-
Gently each Damio held a sort Of feu-
dial power over a certain portion Of
the Empire and its Inhabitants. But
by a recent decree all this has been
abolished. These Princes have been
deprived of all political power, and
arc not allowed to reside on what was
formerly their prlncipality. They are
allowed one-tonth Of their former In
come, and are relieved from the OK
pense of supporting their former state.
This breaking up Of these scattered
semi-govcrnments, and centralizing all
the power of the Empire In Its recog-
nized head, Is one Of the great move
ments of the last few years. These
men are now sent abroad to learn by
actual experience among other gov
ernments that the strength Of q nation
depends upon this concentration. BY
the timo they return home again they
will have cen the practical workings
OF this theory In other lands, and thus
have not only become reconclled to
the action of tho Mikado, utconvinced
of Its wisdom. One Of them, q mere
boy, has an income Of what would be
equal in our currency to about $780,
000 a year and In his province, Of
course, the ignorant class look up to
him as their natural ruler, and would
follow his standard against the Gov
eminent itself at any time. Now, to
teach him the value of u strong gov
eminent In the hands Of the Mikado, is
to make loyal subjects of all his former
dependents.
