An inside car full Of travellers was
toiling up one of the long hills in the
County Wicklow. The driver leaped
down from his seat in front, and walked
by the side OF the horse. The poor beast
toiled slowly and YEARLY, but the six in
sides were too busily engaged in CONVEX
sation to notice how slowly the car pro-
crossed. Presently the driver opened
the door at the rear of the car and
slammed it to again. The /" insides"
started, but thought the driver was only
assuring himself the door was securely
closed. Again the fellow repeated the
same action; he opened the door and
slammed it to again, The travellers
turned around angrily, and asked why
ne disturbed them in that manner
whist" whispered the fellow, "don't
spake so loud, she'll overhear us. "Whc
is she7" "The mare. Spake low" he
continued, putting his hand over hi
nose and mouth. "Sure, I'm decavin
the creature! Every time she hears the
door s!ammia' that way she thinks one O
yez is gettin' down to walk up the hill
and Chat rises her apirits." The insiderl
took the hint.

fNcw York Commercial Advertiser,


Revolts are constantly put down and
constantly revived in Japan in these
times, and hardly a steamer has arrived
from Yokohama during the last twel v
months without bringing the news of a
fresh instruction. This is so much
more to be regretted, because Japan was
entering into new line of policy of in
dustrial progress, and because the United
States was the country especially called
to profit by the development of that
Eastern brother whom we lead by the
hand in the path of civilization. Revolts
are breaking out IN Japan at the very
moment when the Government continues
to labor zealously at the work of internal
reform. 1t is now giving much atten.
ton to sheep farming, and has again
sent the Superintendent of the estab-
lishment formed for that purpose, Mr..
APP Jones, to the United States, where
General Saigo recently acted as Com
missioner to the Philadelphia Ex-
hibition. New lines of railway are to be
begun this year, great mineral treasures
have been discovered by the German
traveller; Won Richtoten, and the treaty
concluded with Corea has already
proved very advantageous to that State,
AZ it has enabled large stores of rice 10 be
sent there at time when the popula-
ton is suffering from famine. Is all this
progress TO be delayed by the revolt,
which has recently broken out again, and
which is said to be led by the celebrated
statesman and soldier, Saigo, elder
brother of the recent Commissioner at
our Exhibition 1t appears as quite
certain that the insurgents this time be-
long, not to the agricultural classes, but
TO the old feudal nobility of the
Samourais, These people have been de-
prived of their former privileges, through
the reforms operated by the Empesor,
after the downfall of the dualistic sys-
tenn of the Mikado's and Tycoon's Gov
eminent. Japan will have no rest rs
long as the Samourais shall not have dis
appeared, either through the process of
law, or through their committing hari-
kari, since they consider that mode of
suicide as one exclusively reserved for
their noble caste.

Clam SheII.

A regular meeting of the Academy of
Sciences was held on Monday night. MIR,
Hofer, CUSTODIAN orttc treasures of che
Society, arose and said:
"Tbere's very interesting shell here.
| spose it belongs to the Chion@cetes
Behringianus, but ] don't quite know"
Then an old gentleman, with military
whiskers and a cane jumped upr and
said:
YOU'RE wrong, sir. Them shells is
loxorhynchus grandis, an struck 'em
in the Colorado desert. Some say they're
libinia affinis, but ! don't agree with

Mr.. Hoffer with heat)-The shells
are evidently of the genus microrhyn-
chus.
Old Gent-Wrong again, sir; the
shells is without doubt loxorhynchus.
Mr.. Hofier-Sir, you are mistaken

can see that they are chionecetes. ="
Old Gent--What!
Mr.. Hofier-Just what j said, and if
you will turn over them shells you will
observe certain streaks which show them
to belong also to the pugettia gracilfis.
Old Gent-Oh, see here, clam shell

Old Gent-The syora auctifrOns.
Professor Davidson-Come TO order,
gentleman.
Order was obtained, and motion Of
adjournment being put, was carried.
Then the members went about among
the pews arguing in loud, angry, and
threatening manner which shook up the
bottled curiosities, and awoke the stuffed
alligator to the extent that 1t fell against
it's glass case, and the crash of glass
brought everybody back to the nine

that bills are an item oflife.

The Southern policy of the Republic

an admission of hypocrisy. 1t is an
apparent acceptance of the Democratic

is an advertisement of the falsehood on
which the Republicans conducted their

1t is an abandonment of the stock in
