singular discovery, illustrative OF the extraor-
dinary fertility si convict ingenuity has just been
made at Sing Sing Prison, being no less surprising
than the finding OF whiskey still, which had
evidently been In operation Tor months, to the
pecuniary advantage OF one convict at least. For
some time past convicts have occasionally been
noticed to be under the influence OF strong drink,
but all ef1ors ON the part the officials failed to
elicit from them where the liquor had been OBJ
tanned. couple OF nights ago, however, an
incident transpired which ultimately led the
prison authorities to the fountain OF convict bliss

without informing Short search OF the quarry
was Immediately Instituted, where in q secluded
corner, sheltered by a lew rough boards was found
one OF the most remarkable cOntrivances on record
for the manufacture OF wniskey. couple OF the
prison tubs, holding perhaps twelve or fifteen gal
Ions each, contained the mash, which was COM

tomatoes, with some corn and coarse meal, col

the seizure OF mis- distilery he was made to under

found a. belt containing over 5000, being the pro-

With people like the Japanese, by whom no in
sttution, however time-honored, Is considered
sacred; who have brought their Emperor down
from the skies to the level OF human being; who
have dethroned their daimios; who have disestab-
lished their national Church, and now about to
institute another formed on conglome ration OF
articles collected from the creeds OF the Roman
Catholic, Protestant Mohametan and Buddhist
religions who have discarded their national dress,
their national habits and their political coustitu-
ton, we ought not to be surprised to find that
they are now anxious 70 throw over their written
character wholesale and to adopt a European al
phabetical system In It's stead. Such indeed, was
the proposal embodied in speech delivered at the
recent International Congress OF Orientalists
at Paris by Samesima Naonoba, the Japanese
Minister at the Court OF France ~ beg"
said his Excellency, 'to call your attention TO o
question OF great Importance TO US. japanese
writing has, as you are aware, practically ceased
to be purely alphabetical, ana has become, to a
great extent, Geographic. As long as we kept to
ourselves 1t sufficed for our wants, but we now
find IL quite Inadequate for the expression OF the
European words and ideas which we are begin
ming to employ" And he then proceeded to urge
the Congress TO throw some light the subject
by discussing the question. According to the
French papers, q long debate followed which led
sion OF many opposite opinions, the result appear
ing TO point TO the fmposslbiity OF arriving at any
universal orthoQraphy Tor the transcription Of
Japanese characters by means OF European letters
But the startling fact remains that the Japanese
are willing to adopt any alphabetical system OF
gible TO, the nations OF Europe. And these are

a little unpleasantness was created
in our city last Sunday morning, between
two quiet peaceable citizens, by a dog
fight. Mr.. - was walking along Mich
igan street, leading his little daughter, and
also accompanied by a nice little dog-the
pet of the family. When they were oppo-
site the shop of Mr.. -, white bull
pup. fat and sleek fellow, much admired
by its owner, made furious attack
upon the little pet, and to save it from an
initiation, IFS owner made desperate at
tempt to drive away the savage dog. The
owner of the white dog, hearing the dis
turbanee ran out, and seeing his dog in
danger, struck Mr.. - with his fist, and
then few blows were exchanged without
much damage to either party. Thus end
ed the fight-both parties being satisfied
there was no cause for its commencement.
They had always been friends, and will
undoubtedly be so hereafter. No arrests.
