The First Europeans in Japan.

Europeans set foot in japan in 1912.
They were three Portuguese sailors, who in
the language Of the Jesuit fathers, "breathed
into the Japanese atmosphere the first breath
of Christianity" Missionaries soon followed,
notable among whom was Francis Xavier,
aud in the course Of half a century so num-
erous were the converts that one might fairly
hope that in few years the whole empire
would be Christianized. But the Shotgun
Hidcyoshi, who had learned Of the Portu.
gueso and Spanish conqucsts in India, grew
suspicious Of the new doctrines, and instituted
violent persecution Of the Christians, which
was continued by his successors In 1857
it was alleged that the native Christians had
entered into a conspiracy with the Portuguese
government to overthrow the imperial throne.
The whole sect was remorselessly crushed
all foreigners were expelled from the empire
excepting the Dutch, who had aided the
Shotgun, aud who were allowed to keep up
a trading establishment on the little island
of Deshlma, which they were not allowed to
leave, aud where they were in effect prison.
ers, only three vessels being allowed once a
year to come TO them from Holland Weary
must have been the watch Of these oxiled
traders as they paced along the shore of
their little prison, straining their eyes in
gazing over tho blue waters to catch the
first glimpse Of the white sails which were
to bring them some tidings from the world
without. From this time dates that system
Of jealous seclusion which for more than two
centuries kept Japan sealed book from the
rest of the world. Yet during all this time
the empire enjoyed profound tranquility
under the system Of dual government, which
had in effect been instituted as early as the
twelfth century, but had beOn brought tC
perfection by Iyeyasu and his grandson
lyemitsu The Introduction Of Christianity
and its complete determination form a thrill
ling episode but, after all, only an episode
leaving behind it no trace on the history Of
Japan aud its institutions. H. GuerR

A report lately published by DR.. Farr,
an eminent English physician, gives the
average number of deaths out of million of
people at various stages of life, and shows
what a small proportion can reasonably ex-
peet to attain old age, according to the tables
of mortality. The number is made up at
starting OF oil ,745 boys and 4SS,225 girls,
but the proportions are soon reversed, as
there is greater mortality among boys than
girls at an early age. More than quarter
Of tho million die before attaining the age Of
five, leaving the proportions Of the sexes
among the remainder nearly equal. There
will be little mortality during the next five
years, and the death rate will still further
decrease during the like peri cd which brings
them to the close OF the fifteenth year. Then
for the next two periods Of five years the
death rate will advance, but 634,045 will
enter on the twenty.sixth year. During the
ten years two-thrds of the women will mar
ry, and the deaths during the time will
have amounted to 62,052. A large proper
ton will die between the ages of IS aud 40,
leaving SOP, 9l5 to enter into the forty-sixth
year. Each succeeding decade will Increase
in fatality until at 70 only l6l, l2l remain ;
3S,595 will live to be So; 2l53 for ten
years longer, and the centennial survivors
will be DOB in number. The last Of the mil
lion will perish in his lOSth year. This
calculation evidently docs not apply to pen.
sioners Of the war of 1872, or
body servants of George Washington, who
persist in displaying longevity in utter de-
dauce Of all the calculations of acturies and
campilers of tables of mortality.

VIM. A. Wheeler on Vermont.

10 passing through Montpelier, on his
way to the White Mountains, Hon. William
A. Wheeler briefly addessed the large
crowd which assembled to do him honor,
from the balcony OF the Pavilion. The
concluding portion oil his remarks were as
fellows:
81 lived in the town Of Fairfax, where
under the shadow of the old Fletcher Noun
tain, | learned from valued uncle, long
since gone to his rest, in the interval Of the
toll which was the common lot of almost
all the men in those days, those lessons
which ouly the true New Highlander could
inculcato. But New England is responsible
in a wider sense for my nomina ton, because
it was seconded by the grand old common
wealth Of Massachusetts,. | count it, my
friends, the great honor Of my life, that the
republicans OF Vermont aud Massachusetts,
deemed me to be sufficiently grounded in the
republican faith to be worthy and fit repres-
eutative Of their IDEAS | trust they have
made no mistake. | believe in New Eng
land | believe in Plymouth Rock, for they
are convertible terms. As one of the most
gifted women Of New England has said /:
plymouth Rock Is no piece of quartz or
ieldspar, but rock which wps cut without
hands aud which will become great noun
tain, filling the whole earth" Wherever
freedom aims a musket or plants a standard
or nerves an arm or sends sou, that is
Plymouth Rock. The school house aud the
town house are the outgrowth Of the very
cardinal principles Of our republican creed.
| believe aud have often said that tn is little
commonwealth Of Vermont affords us q com.
plete realization oil our highest ideal Of Il
republican form OF government. What else
can We fud 50 much intclligence-tho result
of our free public system Of education ?
Where else eau you liud SO thorough q pro-
lection to personal liberty and civil rights ?
Where else SO great interest in the admins
tration aud conduct of public affairs? And
where else can you find happiness so difrused
as among the people Of this little state Of
