is cur earnest wish that nobody may get a
more rapid transit than is agreeable but we
live in an age when nothing should surprise
US. If North Carolina and Nova Scotia are
respectively the ends of certain subterranean
lines of ommunication-dreadfu grooves, full
of red hot what dye call it-and the fire or
gas is equally ready to burst out at either
place, why, no doubt it may, scientifically
speaking, cut across lots and come out any
where between. Already a great deal of gas
has come out at a great many places between
these points, and if the fire should follow, we
shudder to contemplate what may happen
that is, we shudder noW-though if it hap

PROGRESS IN JAPAN.

IN. Y. Herald, 90 MARI

For some time past we have been
led to believe that the wonderful revO-
luton which has been going on in
the japanese Empire was in danger at
the hands of fhe reactionists. The new
which we print this morning shows
that the young Emperor is warmly enlist
ed on the side of progress. On the 29th
of January he broke through the establish
ed custom Of centuries and received the
wives and families of the English, United
States and Belgian Ministers. AS q fur
Their proof of his willingness to yield to the
spirit and requirements of the age he has
given orders that his own income shall be
equally taxed with that of his subjects.
The tax on the Emperor's property will
reach the sun of twenty-five thousand
dollars. One Of the late foreign ambassa-
doris has been appointed Minister of Edu-
cation. On the whole Japan is doing
well, and under the guidance of her pres
sent enlightened chief she promises to take
her place at no distant day among the CT
yiized nations of the world.

DESPERATE vALOR OF THE WARRIOR NATIVES.
IN. Y. Hcrald)
A correspondent writing from the battle
field gave the following description of the
valor OF the natives =
The Ashantees fought like demons. They
were present in enormous numbers, pour
lug on our gallant troops by thousands,
yelling and screaming hideousIy. Al
though our firing told on them immensely
they had to be driven from point to point,
and even when pushed out of the success
siye villages returned to the attack. In
the thickest parts of the brush they climb
ed the trees in order to fire more eifeCtuaI-
ly upon our troops. The order of advance
from |Insarful was as follows. The attack
was made in the form of a square, through
the middle of which ran the main road,
and the line extended about 800 yards on
either side. The Forty-secOnd regiment,
preceded by Lord Clifford and his scouts,
formed the front line, with two of Rats
guns in the centre, Gordon's Houssas in a
dense corner Of Jungle. 1t really seemed
as if nothing but the failure OF their am
munition would drive them out. Now at
one point, now at another, along the hill
crest they poured down crushing volleys.
Life they counted Of no price if only a
white man could be killed. 1t was the
same desperate obstinacy we had seen at
Abrakrampa. They cIinbod trees to fire
with more deadly effect, but the mass just
lay down and shot till shot themselves or
short of ammunition. Sir Archibald Alison,
brigadier of the white troops, declares he
never came under a iercer fire in India
or the Crimea.

BlNHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to ass ring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
isk of life ia the West Indies, and sufi-
cient to create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
9 c per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
It's career, during q period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces-
sive Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
, 1874-04-15

Assurances Of every description on sin
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 500 Dollars to $1,000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, ut the option of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the pay
ment of their Premiums, may either dis
pose OF their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain a free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security Of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
ceivcd by the Society.
Strict investigations into the position OF
the Society are made quinquenniaIly, ana
the surplus then existing is allotted to the
Members, after a sufficient sam has been
set aside for the purposes Of the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and ivl-
sion Of Profits, will take place on the 3lst
December, 1875.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
of the British West India Islands.

Jonathan ran off as fast as he could, but was

attempts to bite the hand of him who held it.
