stripes around his heart, no brand on his

From the Utica Republican, Senator Conk-

The Hon. William E. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, has made public some interest
ing revelations of the manner in which Mr..
Hayes secured the presidency, and they will
be found in detail in another part of this pa
per. There have been whispers of some
such revelation as this. and the facts have
been bruited about in vague manner. Now
they are given with such proof, in the shape
of names and dates, as must not only call
public attention to them but evoke public
judgment thereon.
That Mr.. Chandler tells the truth in re-
gard to the bargaining, we have no doubt.

ican party was not privy to the injustice, but

same thing was done in South Carolina.
The troops were withdrawn, Chamberlain

Modern Japan.

The political and social revolution
which created modern Japan has been as
sudden and complete rs a theatrical trans
formation scene. A country sealed from
time immcmorial against all outsiders is
suddenly thrown open, and foreign ideas,
inventions and fashions are welcomed and
adopted by the government and people.
A mysterious dignitary, supposed to re-
scmble in his spiritual attributes the
Dalai Lama of Thihct, is drawn forth
from invisible scclusiop, is arrayed in
European uniform, and appears before
the astonished world as ruling emperor
of Japan, while the usurping shotgun, the
representative of military domination,
retires into peaceful obscurity, his title
and his Office being suddenly cxtinguished
after duration Of seven centuries. A
great territorial aristocracy, owning i'm
pregnable fortesses, princcly revenues,
and the allegiance of devoted military re-
tanners, DEGREES its own overthrow, and
subsidies without a struggle, almost with
out murmur, into the position of private
citizens pensioned by the State. A proud
and warlike caste, enjoying monopoly
of arms, Of scholarship, and of social
privileges, ''jealous in honor, sudden and
quick in quarrel two-sworded Tybats
and Mercutios of the nineteenth century,
lay down their cherished blades, ahan-
don their distinctive dress, mingle with
the common herd, and peacefully accept
their reduction to equality with merchants
and mechanics. Such changes seem too
vast and rapid to be permanent, and a
certain amount of reaction may be fairly
anticipated but whatever the future may
have in store for Japan, it is clear that
the duarchy of mikado and shotgun, the
feudal sway of daimios, and the privilege
of samurais are all as completely things
of the past as the corresponding institu-
tons of medieval Europe, and that none
of them can be re. established any more
than the national isolation, which alone
rendered possible their existence at this
period of human history. The entire po-
litical system of Japan was etfete, and
had long reselnbled structure of tim
bers, the interior of which has been de-
voured by white ants; it was barely able
to support its own weight, and it crum-
bled into dust at the first external touch.
Like the mikado himself, the shotgun iu
the castle of Yeddo, and the daimios in
their provincial capitals, while retaining
all external attributes of greatness, had
become, with a few distinguished ex
ceptions, mere puppets in the hands of
their ministers, many of these being nooi
homines, to whose new ideas the modern
revolution is mainly duc.-FortnigtAy

Earth Cures.

Graham, the once famous quick, wa.
wont to exhibit himself plunged to the
chin in mud, mud bath taken regu-
larly being his specific for insuring a
century of health, happiness and honor.
Every physician at the time treated mud
bathing with ridiculc, but in the present
day the celebrated mud baths at certain
German watering place are among the
recognized means of ameliorating several
disorders. Graham was not wrong; he
only took a quackish way of announcing
his theories. There is apparently a cur
alive power in earth. Not long ago, n
man employed at some iron works near
Melksham managed to get himself fixed
in the narrow part of an iron tube, and
when he was eXtricated was to all ap-
pearance dead. His mates dug a hole in
the ground, put the unconscious patient
into it, and filled in the earth, leaving only
a small hole for him to breathe through,
should he draw breath again. In very
short time he showed signs of returning
life, with his own hands cleared away the
earth, and dram of brandy set him once
more on his legs, little the worse for his
mishap.
Joaquin Miller's earth-cure experience
had more CHASTITY ending. Travelling
with a mining party in California, six
of them were suddenly struck down with
scurvy, and there being none of the usual
remedies at hand, an old sailor suggested
the trial of one which had saved a ships
crew in some land in the tropics. This
was simply to bury the men upright as
far as their chins, until the earth drew
the poison out of their bodies. Six pits
were quickly dug in the warm allavial
soil, and when the sun went down, the
men were placed in them, and the earth
shoveled in around them. twas a beau.
titul moonlight night; and the operation
completed, the invalids chatted gaily to-
gether their shaggy heads just bursting
through the earth in the fitful moonlight,
made then. look like men coming up to
judgment, their voices sounding weird
and ghostly, as of another world. After
awhile, one by one they fell asleep, and
all was still. Their comrades then stole
away and sought their cabins. When
they rose in the morning, and went to see
how the buried men Jared, they found
that the wolves had come down in the
night, and eaten off every head level with
the ground.
