IHE JAPANESE AND THE COMET. =
Tho Japanese have found O new use
for comet which in more civilized
nations has been regarded by the su-
perstitious as ominous Of disasters and
war. According to cable kilograms our
late celestial visitor has been observed
in Japan, apd is looked upon by the
natives as favorable omen in con.
nection with their war in Formosa.
where the tribes have come to terms
with japan and accepted the flag of
that country. When we remem Der
that not many centuries ago, there
were European monarchs who believed
that comets were sent as q menace to
themselves, We may excuse the folly OF
the Japanese. Even now some among
ourselves consider the comet RESPONSE.

Several revolts have broken out in
the Northern and Eastern parts of
Prussia against the new reform in the
government of the Counties. al.
though the measure, which, when
passed two years since, caused such
excitement, was regarded as u blow at
the great land holders. it seems that
the paasantry do not so regard it, but
suspect trick. and declare that the
reform only throws more power into
the hands Of the aristocracy. The more
Ignorant even believe that they will be
deprived of equal rights before the law
and reduced to state of vassalage.

Cuban Affairs.

The indications are that the recently
declared policy Of the new captain general
of Cuba, looking TO a proposed cessation
OF hostilities and treaty Of peace with the
insurgents, will soon be more of a %nccessi.
ty than choice. The recent engagements
haue all resulted disastrously to the Span
ish arms, the recent battle before Puerto
Principe alone costing them 40 officers,
besides several hundred privates, in killed
and wounded. The machtc used by the
Cubaus proved very destructive. The in.
surgent leader, Maco, with 800 men, has
burned MaDibon, aud is now is threaten
ing the valleys of Guantanao and the sug-

The fnancia! situation shows no i'm.

arrivals of American gold, but the banks
refuse to receive it at 5 per cent premium
as ordered by the government, and the re-
fusal will keep specie away from the is

lecturer was attired in a plain but rich
dress of black silk. She is about 80 year.
of age, and posses a clear, strong voice.
IN the course Of her remarks she said
the nineteenth wife of a man living in the
nineteenth century in q heather country
would be considered a curiosity, but il
civilized Christian America, where the
abominatlon Of poligamy is permitted and
tolerated by the Government, she o~fcoursc
can be no curiosity" The lecturer said
she was born on Sept. 13, 1874, and her
parents were natives of New York, having
been converts at au early age, When she
was about a year old her father brought
home another wife. The lived
with her mother very pleasantly for -
years. At the age of 8 years she was
baptlsed BY immersion. and again when l6
years old, after which she was received
into the endowment house. The endow-
mcnt rights are very peculiar, belug a sort

ham Young took place on April 7, 1868,
in secret, because of The United States law
prohibiting ~polgyamy. The lecturer closed

The impositious practised by Euglist

dicates a way of recovering their share

and since the rebellion. The letter of

tion to the action of the Shanghai board

goods, is also interesting as showing that

China and India. They took advantage
Of the opportunity of our wal with a
