Honor Among Assassins.

Assassination in Japan is open and above
board and has its picturesque features.
When class of people resolve that man
who is obnoxious to them ought to be killed
they select sufficient number to do the
work surely and neatly, and then give them
selves up as sacrifices. Assassins appear to
be selected by lot and sworn to do the job,
and to fail not. Okubo, minister of the in
terror of the Japanese empire, who was re-
garded as the power behind the throne of
the mikado, had made himself obnoxious to
a very powerful class in Japan. He had
been mainly instrumental in breaking up
the old feudal system of Japan, and com
pei ing the feudal lords to surrender their
vast estates to the throne. This arrayed the
whole class against the minister, and they
doomed him to death. For the execution of
their design they chose day when there
was special meeting of the emperor's
cabinet-time, broad daylight place, in the

The exposures of rottenness in the mar

The exposures of rottenness in the man
agement of public affairs under Grant that
have occupied SO large share of the public
attention of late, are not calculated to help
his chances for the nomination of 1880.
The people will very naturally arrive at the
conclusion that man who made appoint
ments such as these who have persistently
and systematically robbed the public treas
ury, is unfit to be again intrusted with power
which is liable to such abuse. If Grant was
not himself corrupt, he had genius for
surrounding himself with men who have
proved themselves to be the most accom-
plished thieves in the history of the nation.

of. Col. King danced up aud acted wild, and
Grapevine wanted to turn the enterprise into a
running race. After scoring for half hour
they finally got away, Grapevine snd Flora
made pretty work half way around when
Grapevine broke and then Flora Bell had it all
her own way the remainder of the heat.
A better start was made in the second heat.
Flora shot ahead and didn't seem to be uneasy
about the heat, but Grapevine, although he
broke several times, made it hot for the little
lady and passed her on the home stretch and
came in winner of the heat. A great shout
went up over that heat, but much dissatisfac-
ton was expressed because it was claimed
Grapevine broke SO badly he should have
been set back. The judges claimed, however.
that he lost in all his breaks and therefore
should be given the heat.
In the third heat Flora made the only break
she made in the race, but that, perhaps, was
because she was not given the previous heat.
The girl, however, got down to her work. and
took the lead after passing the three-quarter
stretch, coming home winner amid a great
cheer
The fourth heat was red-hot. Grapevine
lodged in and took the pole soon after leaving
the wire, and some of the boys cried foul AT
the quarter pole Flora passed him and then had
no trouble to keep out of the way the rest of
the heat.
There are few better little animals than Flora
Belle. She is as true as steel-they call her a
stealer because she steals mach on her com.
petitors. Grapevine, with proper handling,
will show better time than many imagine. His
driver, Mr.. Archer, says he has been badly
handled lately but he will soon get him at his
gait again and show turf men what he can do
