cLER1Sa UP THE WATERFRONT. j.
Your Chicago 1eaderB, since the transient oc-
cupation Of your lake-front in the emergency
period following the fire, will appreciate what
hns just been done by the Government in clear
ing up the water-fronts along the principal
streets Of the water-side. These have hitherto
been neglected by the Government and the con-
sequence is, that al kinds Of small shops have
been built upon these places,-the owners e1er-
cisius the right Of "squatter sovereignty" and
paying NO rent. Notice was given to these squat
ter sovereigns, few days ago, that they must
vacate tho premises. Accordingly, the small
army OF BARRIERS, INSTRUMENTATION keepers,
amateur dentists, fruit-selers, and nondescript
business folks generally, haye left, aud their
shanties have all been removed. The change
from bustllng street Of shops, stands, and
bargainers in Articles cheap for iron cash,-in
which coolies and the other select street mob
oc1xoy Of Yeddo enjoyed themselves dai1y,-t
place with astonishing rapidity. These vacant
open for the public benefit. The change Is
vastly for the botter aud is one Of the many
signs OF the activity and enterprise OF the off,
GERS Of the Tokei Flu.
THE NEW NATIONAL EnBLEs1s.
Tho Japanese Government, in order to pre-
pare fully for the expected increase Of mail
communication between Ill parts Of Japan, have |
published notification Of the form of the fag
decided upon for use On Japanese mail-steame1s.
It is OF the usual size, and has two red bars
. roctangle, from which one OF the smaller /
rectangles contained in it has been removed. |
This makes the twenty-seyenth flag, or desig- |!
mated signal, determined upon by the DA 10 |
huan, for tho various departments Of the army,
The navy. the Mikadon family, public works.

1bition At Vienna, is noT on view st Tokei.
which has cost the Government about $500, 900.
The exhibition is rich in silks, both the raw
naterial aad manufactured. There is
inc collection Of minerals, also Of porcelain.
rnry to whnt might have been expected,
here is but poor show, though this is
attributed to the whole of the articles in these
departments not yet being sent in. There is =
:apital series Of tho cereals, roots, fruits,
vegetables and other productions Of the soil
models Of native implements, tools, DC. Alto
;ethe1, the collection is an interesting one, and

To the credit OF the Government, the subject

raj officers in the Embassy being Charged with |

ppGed to the Government. through the Oku1n
ho, for permission to build decent and COM
ortable jail, in accordance with higher ideas OF

ogue in this country. The permission has been
