A Japanese View Of Women's Rights.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: A file Of
Japanese newspapcrs-that is, paper writ
ten by the Japanese themselves-can hardly
fail to afford reading of novel kind and
full of amusement, if only from the oppor-
tunity of comparing Japanese ideas with
our own on many subjects of interest COM
mon to them and to US. In late number
Of the Japan Nail we see by the translations
Of several articles from the native press
there has been an active discussion going
forward on the last subject we should have
expectedin Japan-''W oman's Rights" One
writer, referring to previous thesis of
Messrs. Mort and Tukuzawa, who maintain
ed the equal rights Of husband and wife,
says:
''If we look into the theories of Europeans
on this subject. it would appear that the
possession of equal power by husband and
wife is based on natural reason. But if we
observe the practice of Europeans, it would
appear that the power Of the wife is greater
than that Of the husband, and that this
error has been brought about by the want
of correct view If the dictates of nature.
We will point out examples of this. In
going through door the wife passes first
and the husband follows her; the wife takes
the best seat and the husband takes the next
best; in visiting the wife is first saluted; in
forms Of address the wife is first mentioned
Moreover. while men are in the campany of
ladies they must be particular in their con-
versation and are not permitted to smoke
without the ladies permission being first
obtained. These and like customs are in

The Dublin Celebration,

AS we stated in our remarks on the
Gable dispatches on the ''O'Connell
Centennial' in Dublin, in the "illustra-
tons" published in the New York papers
about "riots" and the prohibition of the
fire. works by order of the Lord Mayor,
for fear of an invasion of Irishmen from
England, armed with pistols, (which
had been reported to Cardinal Cullen"
have turned out to be pure fabrications,
tiles" in fact, to use the plain speech
of the late Horace Greeley;-lies for
which the American Associated-Pre
have paid at the rate of fifty cents a
word, but which they never take the
smallest pains to correct, when such
lies refer to the irish people. Now. the
fact that there was no ''riot" Dublin on
the day of the O'Connell Centenary
needs no stronger proof than that, as
the result of the display. and the conse-
quent gathering into Dublin of at least
one hundred and fifty thousand people
additional from all parts of Ireland,
there were only two commitals from all
the police courts on the following day
The rainy weather, not the Lord Mayor
was the cause of the postponement o.
the fireworks on following day.
Justice Fitzerald, in opening the com
mission at Sligo, said: Though l have

Irish Questions in Parliament.

An Irish question has no chance what
ever in the British Parliament. Ererv
Irish question yet brought before that
assembly Containing, according to
Plimsoll. Williams on its benches. has
been rejected. The land Question. the
municipal question, the education ques-
ton. home rule question. political pris-
oners' question. direct taxation question,
Limerick corporation question, eoualiza-
ton OF franchise question; all haze been
voted do,cn. Lastly, MIR. Drowning
brought forward case Of great cruelty
tor the consideration of the honorable
and right honorable Williams. He de-
manded that Irishman who give the la
Dor of their whole lives to swell the
wealth Of England, shall not be sent
back to Ireland In their old and helpless
days. for relief to the parish where thew
were born. He demanded that if any
person had maintained himself by indus
try in any part of England for twelve
months, and become distressed, and seek
for aims. that said district shall be bound
to admit him to relief. Mr.. Downing
had known men who had lived in Eng
land from the age of five or to sixty
years; who had spent twenty years in
one union, and ten in another, had been
sent back to Ireland when they had be-
come old and helpless. In Scotland il
IS worse. If the Irishman happens to
move In quest of work, he forfeits his
CLAIM TO relief; and if in case of destitu-
ton he is carried out Of the country and
thrown upon the Irish coast, with little
ceremony or tenderness. When Sterne

Ireland a Hundred Years Ago.

George the III. had reigned fifteen
years. Dull, bigoted, cruel; striving in
a blind way to be honest, but his blood
tainted with the stains of centuries of in
tolerance, he was now the living type of
protestant fanaticism. In Europe, the
old order of thing existed without brake
or assure. In America, the first heav
ings of the volcano were plainly felt.
The Kings, Lords, and Commons of Ire
land existed in name. The Irish Par

might still be spoken of among tho ira
ditions Of the Irish peasantry, but its
guarantees had sunk more completely
out Of the mind of the English and Irish
legislatures than the statues of Glouces-
ter. The Penal Code was in full legal
effect. Burke had described it few
years before with the calmness of con
centrated passion as "well-digested and
we'll disposed in all its parts a machine
of wise and elaborate continuance, and
as we'll fitted for the oppression, impov-
erishment and depreciation of people,
and the debasement in them of human
nature itself, as ever proceeded from the
prevented ingenuity Of man." Yet even
Burke hardly gave credit enough to the
magnificent qualities of the race which
was able to survive this code. 1t tailed in

The return Of the number of emigrants
from Ireland shows that the total net de-
crease during the first six months Of the
year 1875, as compared with the cores
