Feudalism is passing away in Japan, and as q
matter of course the age of cbvalry is passing with
it, There lies in the interior of the island the sacred
city of Kioto, ong the capital of the mysterious
court of the spiritual sovereign. 1t was favorlte
haunt of the Oriental muses. and thickly peopled
with female poets who there felt enfranchised from
the shackles which weighed upon their sex every
where else 1t has ceased to be an asylum for them.
A local Sappho recently chastsed with the lash OF
satrc rhyme four of the glded youth of KiOto who,
instead of reforming their Objectionable ways in
obedience TO her admonitions, preferred to lie in
wait for the sweet singer and having caught her
how shall we describe their rebellious procedure
They did unto her as the women of Paris did to
Theroigne de M6ricourt-as Mr. Carlyle says,
"fustgated her"-and we hope they had the COM
mon humanity to set her down upon cool and
shady curbstone afterward after the manner of Mrs
MacStinger in similar cases.

We trust the Supervisors will not hesitate
TO extend the investigation of its Committee
on Arbitrary Assessments to all the wards in
the city. Facts lately developed show that
the whole system of assessment for purposes
of taxation and improvement is radically
unjust.

key be hereafter held most honorable. for the sake
of this one in New-Oreans. He is a monkey whose
apparent vanity and self-esteem long obscured the
noble qualities of his mind and heart. 0ftentimes
finding him before mirror wrapped in the cOntem-
plation of his own beauty, man has msjudged him
and learned to scorn him. Such isthe fate of ge-
Mus. But not for always was this monkey doomed
to be unappreciated. few days ago he observed a
little child toddlng carelessly along the track of
the horse-car Suddenly car came dashing round
the corner, and the child, unseen by the needless
driver would have suffered instant death had not
that excellent monkey seized and dragged it away

The Harbor Masters lately under charges
have been exonerated by the Captain of the
Port. SO far, good; but only the closest
scrutiny of the Official, and the most deter

will prevent the revival in time of the cor

Mr. d. w. Hull, who is Spiritualist," pro-
poses to celebrate the National Centennial in q
peculiar way He thinks it should be kept as a
General Jubilee, and that all the inmates of our
jails and State prisons should be released upon
this auspicious day. to remain free until they get
into Jail again. This ia novel and interesting as
proposition, but we fancy it would be found very
much more so if put into practice. The number Of
pockets which would be picked on that particular
Fourth of July in Philadelphia alone would be start
ling. The Declaration says that all men are born
free,D but doesn't say anything of the inalienable
right of making FREQ with other peoples property.
On the whole, we think that the prisoners had bet

The Navarro water meter claim is one which
ought not to be paid, for clearly the contract
under which ten thousand of these instruments
were purchased was irregularly if not, indeed,
fraudulently given by Tweed. But the manner
in which the Controller for the city contests
the case in the courts makes us fear that Mr.
Navarro is about to get great deal of money
20 which he is not fairly entitled.

He strongly DEPRECATED the violent and war

characters of Hughes ard Rsmsdall, he
showed the great interest of the working

one who knows your wants and sympathizes

you by others, however different their wants

YOU have been deprived ofyour share OF leg

rized to'act aud to-day could be elected

The Radicals complain because the
townrhip hiss been set aside. 1t might
be well enough to- inquire what their
course has been in the same question.
In 1870 q Radical Board OF Supervisors
Get aside the election 10 two townships,
because they give Democratic majori-
ties and for no other reasen, there being
no detect in the polls books that could
be recognized as fatal. In 1869 Ra-
dical board set aside another township
to Dust Democrats, Grey was a member
of both these bosrds aud the journal
shows that in each instance he voted to
Get aside the townships.
As Tor. Mcclellan township. we deny
that the same defects exists in its poll
books that exists In Southwest, besides
the question OF. their legality was never
brought pr operly before the Supervisors
except when Grey and his Radical board
set it aside in 1870.
1t is about as inconsistent for persons
who whine about the members of the
County Court for favors, to abuse thai
Court, as for Radicals to whine about
prescription and fraud on the part Of
the Democrats. A party that has by
'rauds that would make devils blush
perpetuated itself, in power as long al
