Modern Japan.

The political and social revolution
which created modern Japan has been as
sudden and complete rs u theatrical trans.

time immemoral against all outsiders is
suddenly thrown open, and foreign ideas,
inventions aud fashions ARE welcomed and
adopted by the government and people

quick in quarrel, two-sworded Tybalts

don their distinctive dress, minglo with
tho 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 shogun, the
feudal sway of daimios, and the privilege
of samurais are all as completely things
of the past as the corresponding institu.
tions Of med9val Europe, and that none
of them can be re established any more
than the national isolation, which alone
rendered possible their existence at this
peri9l of human history. The entire po-
litical system of Japan was effete, and
had long resembled II 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 ii crum-
bled into dust at the first external touch.
Like the mikado himself, the shoguu in
the castle of Yeddo, and the daimios in
their provincial capitals, while retaining
all external attributes of greatness, had
become, with n few distinguished ex.
ceptions, mere puppets in the hands of
their ministers, many of these being aoUi
h0miaes, to whose new ideas the modern
revolution is mainly due.--Foytnjgltiy
