Reports from Shanghai show great

American commerce has nearly doubled in

tine. General Grant unhestatingly and
openly expressed the opinion that the
Japanese would have been thoroughly
justified in adopting forcible measures,
even to the extent of sinking the intruding
ships. Diplomatic complications are ap-
pretended.
The British court at Shanghai has decided
adversely to the complaint of the missiona-
ries of an alleged outrage by q mob near
Foo Chow, declaring that their property
was wantonly destroyed and their premises
invaded. The Chinese claimed that the
missionaries had aggressively encroached
upon the natives temple grounds until the
populace became aroused and excited to
violent measures, and the result of the
trial was their complete vindication and the
overthrow of the whole missionary posi-
| ton. The case establishes precedent for
| numerous similar cases.
General Grant made an excursion from
Yokohama early last month to Kamakara,
the ancient seat of the military govern.
ment of Japan. During his recent stay
in Toxic he was visited by the Mikado
| who consulted him on matters of both
international and domestic policy. The
| General was to return to Toxic August 49,
to exchange some formal visits, and sails
from Yokohama for the United States by
the next mail steamer. A movement is on
foot in Japan for the formation of a society
"for the extension of protecting influence
for eastern nations against the perpetual
aggressions of European powers" Gen
Grant warmly supports the movement.
| Attempts have been made, through
British agency, to inveigle China into ar
army demonstration against Japan, bu
apart from the representations made BY
Prince Kunfi and Lii Hung Chang to Gen
Grant when in China, no steps have beer
taken, and the efforts of the agitators will
be unavailing.

" Sa-luting the Bride" "

There was Il marriage at the upper end OF
the Detroit, Lansing Il Northern Railroad
the other day. "A great big chap, almost
able to throw carload of lumber off the
track, fell in love with a maid who was
cooking for the hands in saw mill, and
after a weeks acquaintance they were mar
ried. The boys around the mill lent
William three calico shirts, dress-coat and
a pair of white pants, and Clipped in
purse of about twenty dollars, and the
couple started for Detroit on bridal tour
within an hour after being married.
"This ere lady" explained William as
the conductor came along for tickets, " are
my bride. Just spliced fifty-six minits ago.
Cost two dollars, but durn the cost She's
lily of the valley, Mary is, and I'm the
right-bower in q new pack of keerds. Con-
ductor salute the bride !"
The conductor hesitated. The bride
had freckles and wrinkles and a turn-up
nose, and kissing the bride was no gratifica-
ton.
Conductor, salute the bride or look out
for tornadoes ~ continued William, as he
rose up and shed his coat.
The conductor sa-luted. 1t was the best
thing he could do just then.

muttered William, "but I'm bound to see
this thing thro' if have to fight all Michi-
gan. These ERE passengers has got to come
up to the chalk they has.
The car was full. William walked down
the aisle, waved his hand to command at
tention, and said:
I've just been married, and over thar
sots the bride. Anybody who wants tc
salute the bride kin do so. Anybody who
don't want to, will hev cause to believe tha
a tree fell on himv
One by one the men walked up and kissed
the widow, until only one was left He wa
asleep. William reached over and lifteC
him into sitting position at one mOvemen
and commanded:

"Blast your bride, and you tool" growleC
the passenger.
William drew him over the back of tn
seat, laid him down in the aisle, tied his leg
in a knot and was making bundle of hin
just of a size to go through the window
when the man caved and went over an,
sa-luted.
"Now then," said William, as he put OF
his coat, "this bride tower will be resume,
as usual, and if Mary and me squeeze hand
