A Voice from Japan.

Messrs. Fairbanks & Co., manufac-
turers of scales for the world in gener-
al, have circulated in America the fac
sinaale of certificate in the Siamese
language and character showing that
their wares have been for many years
in use at the Custom House of Bang
kok, and have not only given constant
satisfaction, but have occasioned sur
prise by their durability and unchang-
ing accuracy. This does not seem 50
remarkable testimonial in the East
as it possibly may be at home.
lfMessrg. Fairbanks & Co. had any
desire to obtain similar autographs as
surances from all the states in Asia
where trade is carried on, they could
do SO without difficulty. No custom
house in China we believe, and GER
tainly none in Japan, is without
supply of them; and in all official
departments where the use of scales
is requisite, these alone are relied up
on. The quaint siamese chirography

TIE REASON WHy.-Tilno was
when capital was comparatively rash.
Openings for investment were eagerly
watched and precipitately jumped in
to, and all sorts of schemes imbued
with the breath of life, During the
same period there was thus plenty of
employment for labor; the working
men reaped much from the rich seed
so prodigally sown; business matters
and money were easy, and confidence
universal.
That time has passed-we were
about to say-"too much So" We
have gone from one extreme to the
other. The disposition to invest
money is hampered with circum.
spection which reaches only quick and
dead certainties. Consequently, the
demand for labor is cut down to a
minimum, and where little is laid
out little is realized. Commercial
transactions are close, rigid, and at
tended with general 1istrust.
So far as resources for business are
concerned, however, they are actually
more numerous and powerful than
ever before. The strides made in the
era Of activity effectuated a vast in
dustrial system, and laid the founda-
tons for an ever-growing structure,
whose dimensions at any future stage
it would be folly to attempt to meas
ure. With immense mineral deposits
discovered and still unbound with a
soil cultivated and still undeveloped,
rich in fruitage, and capable of sus-

SATURDAY was the last day Of the
life Of the national bankrupt act.
Its years have been eleven. 1t has
done good as we'll as evil i'll its career,
and after its death a kind word may
be spoken for it. If swindlers have
fourished through its agency, honest
men were elevated from slavish indie
pendence on their creditors to the po-
sition of useful and valuable citizens.
But bankrupt acts have their time to
die, and the course Of this one is run.
As Washington has no state law OF IN
solvenoy to take the place Of the ex-
piring national act, an especial actlg-
ity may naturally be expected on the
part of our belated hankrupts in tax

Dear Mr.. Oder A great deal of COM

adopted by the School Board. If you can

Yours truly,
Awopos we copy the following from

There is mistaken notion abroad with
regard to the introduction of new school
books by the board In the first place
there are only three or four changes, and
these are in readers, which are to be revised
by the publishers, necessitating new books
anyhow and in the second place, the pu'
pills are required to pay only small ex'
change on the new books that are substi.

The diversion of travel from the
National Road both east and west of
Frostburg seems to have settled down
into almost total abandonment. To
Cumberland other routes are sought
and The up-country farmers prefer
marketing in Myersdale, and even
in Homecoming, to coming to Frost
burg. The people who are more
or less compelled TO use it pass over
as little as possible, and are loud
in complaints CT its wrctched con-
dition. On the other hand, the
superintendent AYERS that the dimin-
ished revenue resulting from the loss
of travel is not sufficient to put the
road in a condition at all passable--
that he has not only faithfully ap-
piled all funds realized from tolls to
repairs, but has actually drawn upon
his own means to meet urgent needs.
He says everybody is aware that he
received the road in almost irrecover-
able condition, and that the travel
has steadily declined ever since.
Hence, he feels that lie has not only
so far done his duty but is in no sense
responsible for the state Of affairs COM
planned of. There is much force in
this Observation-Disclosures to acquit the
superintendent Of any neglect of duty.
At the same time it is certain that
something should be done in some
quarter to improve the road. After
the next session of Congress no doubt
the commissioners will have charge.
With this probability in view it seems
to lis they ought at their next meeting
consider the propriety OF extending
some aid to the road in the meantime
if possible. If it were we'll to do SO,
it were we'll that it be done quickly.
