SHOWING CAPTAIN JACK.


The man residing in Ohio, who offered Gov
Capt. Jack throughout the country for a
period of sixty days, certainly gave evidence of
sharp business instincts. The proposition is,
indeed, worthy of Mr.. Barnum's courageous
shrewdness. The passion for seeing sights Is
one which we inherit from our British fathers
and it was all alive In the days of Shakespeare.
Everybody will remember TrinculOs speech
over the PROSTATE Caliban: "Were l in En-
"gland nOw-as once 1 was, and had but this
" fish painted, not holiday fool there but
"would give q piece of silver; there would
/" this monster make q man. any strange
"beast there makes a man." Capt. Jack is a
public character. That he has been talked
about in the newspapers is enough to render
the public eager to see him, gratis if possible,
or for money paidifneed be. At present we have
no particular lion upon his travels. Our latest
ex-Presdent, whose presence was once sufi
cient to attract q crowd of wondering gapers,
is lost in the awful sOlitudes of Tennessee.
Our President is no longer curiosity Of
novelty. In fact, we do not remember a time
when the American public was in such a lion
less condition. Albeit somewhat of diaboG-
cal character, Capt. Jack would be an absolute
godsend. We are getting dull. We have
nobody-no singer, no orator, no warrior, no
fiddler to throw up our hats for. We need q
lion, and why not Capt. Jackf Did not the
great Black Hawk once divide popular hOnOrs
with Old Hickory himself' And is not Jack
a greater even than the Hawk q-mOre famous,
more murderous, quite as brave, and great
deal beastlierf
We are not sure, however, that everybody
will agree with us as to the justice of our last
adjective. Sentimentalists there may be who
will sigh over the fate of Capt. Jack, and
even indulge in metrical manufactures in
praise of him. We suspect this, because we
already find q newspaper called The Western
Watchman proclaiming the Captain to be the
"noblest savage that ever fought for both right
"and freedom The best way, perhaps, of
dissipating this poetical delusion would be to
let the public know, through ocular inspection,
what q mighty mean manner of man Capt
Jack is. Though heimay put on the war paint
an inch thick, and give his war whoop with
sort of sucking dove roar, we are persuaded
that even by tho most poetical of ladies he
will hardly be regarded as miracle of chiv-
alrous courtesy. Whether after showing him
up for sixty days, after all the interviews and
hand-shaking, there would be enough left of
him to hang, we shall not attempt to deter
mine. Perhaps lionizing is a more refined,
but quite as sure a method of execution as
that by hempen strangulation. If ho is to be
killed, may he not be properly killed with
kindness 7 All we ask is that the Bostonians
will promise not to invite him to dinner.
There is u caveat, 80 to speak, in the propo-
sition of the Ohio gentleman. Should Capt.
Jack commit suicide, the contract is to be rem
dered void from that time. and only proper

Mr. Arinori Mori, the Japanese Minister to
tbe limited States, has created such favor
able impression in this country that any
charges against him would be received here
with real regret. Nevertheless, according to a
Yedo correspondent of THE TRIBUNE, this
gentleman rests under grave accusations pre-
ferred by his own countrymen. His manage
ment of funds intrusted to his care
is said to have been suspieiOusly loose,
and his conduct toward his own Gov
ernment has been characterized by a
peryerse willfulness which would do credit to
our own admirable civil and diplomatic ser
vice. Indeed, residence in Washington may
be urged in e1tenuation Of any diplomatic
irregularities, though such plea would proba-
bly, not avail Mr.. Mori much iii Japan, where
a polite invitation to commit hari-kiri is said
to await his return.

It seems that the Mikado Of Japan is not
tho only Oriental potentate who has for
saken the ancient seclusion of his august
rank The Emperor Of China has actually shown
himself TO the vulgar world outside the Dragon
Palace. He lately paid to the tombs Of his
ancestors the annual visit which is exacted Of every
occupant Of the Imperial throne. On coming forth
from the palace, he asked where all the people
The streets according to custom, were as deserted
as those of Coventry when Lady GOdiva took her
famous horseback exercise; even the lathces and
doors were sealed with strips Of paper The Son Of
Heaven, when told that no common eye was
permitted to look upon the form Of The
Emperor of China, replied, rather irreyerently,
that he did not see why the people
should not see him. Accordingly, when he returned
from the ancestral tombs, after several days abb
sence the.Imperial show was witnessed by all who
chose TO look An English correspondent of
Shangha journal, who stood in line most Loyalty
several hours to gaze upon the person Of the Soil
tary Man, describes the Emperor as looking about
40 years of age rather than 10, be is reputed to
be. He had dissipated look, long, pointed face,
with worn expression. The Empress DOwager and
Empress Mother accompanied him, each borne in
chairs on mems shoulders. The procession was
mob of officials and spearmen and was concluded
with eighteen carts covered with yellow cloth, con-
tanning the Imperial concubines. The exhibition,
though significant was Disappointing to the foreign
spectators.

A singular medical case occurred lately at Ports-

sounded to her like watch running down. Soon the
eye, eyelids and left cheek began to swell, until the
lids were beyond the eyebrow and the eye beyond
the lid. Her physician treated her for erysipeaS-

There Is great scandal in London over the disoov-
cry that the letters printed by The Dqiv TsIegrapA
from its special correspondent with the Khiya eH-
petition" are reVamped from articles in AU The Year
Round and Chdmberss Journal. with few changes
OF dates and localities. In AH the Year Round for
instance, was a description Of scene between So
bastopol and Balaklava, which The Telegraph CORE
spondent appropriated and transferred the bor-
ders Of the everlasting desert" somewhere on the
Steppes Of Tartary; and in Chdmbers in 1871 there
was sketch Of the neigbbOrhood Of Jiddah which
now appears in The Telegraph ticketed Tiais. All
newspapers are liable TO be deceived by unprinc-
pied contributors, and had The Telegraph frankly
confessed the mposture at first, as t was forced to
do finally, the misadyenture would soon have been
forgotten. But having weakly attempted TO bluster
and boast, and explain what admitted Of no expla-
nation, it finds the public increduous Of the exist
ence of its KhiYa correspondent, and even the con-
fession Of the editor that he shall no longer rely
upon anything" that dishonest person may send him
fails to satisfy the community For ourselves we
have no doubt The Telegraph is the Innocent victim
of an outrageous hoax. Even if it were dishonest
enough to make itself party to such fraud, it is
too shrewd to commit an offense which is mnch
more seriously resented by Englshmen than it is by
us. No journal Of large circulation and large IN

to do it. The misfortune that has befallen The Da

cause one Of our own newspapers is involved in it,
The knayish correspondent seems to have been

1t is strange to read the report Of the speeches at
the recent Royal Literary Fund dinner recalling Of
the same time the once bitter contempt Of the
average British lord and knight for the literary
guild. Could snufiy Dr. Johnson ever have believed
that the Dean Of Westminster would publicly
acknowledge the vital obligations of the House OF
Lords to Literature And the good Richardson and
Mr. Joseph Addison-would they have trusted their
ears if told of the centurys change from ndicue OF

The wicked of Chicago have discovered new
swindle. An old hat which would be costly at four
shilings is packed in box and taken to the resi-

home. His wife is informed that her husband has
purchased hat has paid 81 on ii, and wishes her
to pay the remainder, which she does When the hus
band comes home at night there is trouble and some
profane language. At one house the lady, having
no money, gave an order on neighboring shop for

1t must be admitted that it is rather rough for q
psrson to preach directly at person in the congre-

in Wales. The rector selected as his text " II any

not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart this
mans religion is in vain.D From this text the
reverend gentleman proceeded to deliver Scathing

The defense of the ModOcs, as reported in
Associated Press dispatches, evinces their sad
need Of "eminent legal advisers" They do
not plead insanity, emotional or otherwise,
nor family troubles. nor severe provocatlon.
Captain Jack says his heart is good, and he
did not kill Gen. Candy; he only chad it
"done" Poor old SchOnchin pleads that
though he did shoot at Mr.. Meacham, all
the Modocs knew that he was a poor shot
and could not hit anything. The speech of
Captain Jack would not help him much with
an Oregon jury; and it must be confessed
that the version of it given to the press
has a stronger favor of the Special Core
spondcnt than the sullen savage whom we
have heard of as the chief of the Modocs.
A revision of the teachers salaries is an
element of public school reform that is ur-
gently demanded, and the Board of Education
has acted wisely in directing its attention to
the problem. But the scheme that has been
