finds himself burdened with unexpected
questions Of the Eastern policy during his
visit to North China. Both Prince Kung
and Viceroy Ii Hung Chang laid before
him their side Of the Loo 0Aoo eoptroyer.

japan to prevent a serious isunderstand.
ing between the two Empires. Grant is
believed to have replied that the other
side would doubtless be equally as strong
when heard, and though q rupture would
be lamented by all observers, he did not
see his right to interfere. The Japanese
authorities hearing this, have taken great
pains to prepare q documentary vindica.
ton OF their realm, which has been sub.
mitted for Grants inspection by the Cabi-
net Minister during the holiday soiourn at
Mike.
This appearance OF over anxiety does
not commend itself strongly to spectators
generally, Japan's supremacy over Loo
Choo being SO plainly defined and thor
oughly established as TO- need no super
fluous demonstration, but the circum.
stances are interesting as showing the
weight attached TO Grants favorable view
by both Governments.
Recent traders report that Shanghai
shows great diminution in British trans
aotiopsl while American commerce nearly
doubled In the past year.
YOKOHAMA, July 9.-General Grants
entertainment continues to chiefly occupy
public attention. Since last accounts he
has visited various colleges, pronouncing
the cadets OF the Military School as prom.
ising abody as any similar seen by him in
Europe. He witnessed the annual cere-
mony OF the opening Of the principal
river Of Toxic. which consists OF O brilliant
night congregation OF illuminated boats,
and was the most successful Of all displays
in his honor. Theatrical performances
were especially prepared.
July II General Grant and party went
to the shrines OF Iyeyasa, founder OF the
great Tokagawaf family, at Mike, O famous
and sacred resort, one hundred miles In
the interior. They return early in August.
Future movements are undetermined,
but 1t is supposed Grant will visit the
Hakope Mountains and the baths Of
Fuyiyama (Japan's highest mountAin),
Kemakur, an ancient capital, and sail for
home by the end Of August.

Yesterday was one OF the days that drew

services and the day generally we refer

was made ready for thc operation, which
was quickly over,
The rite OF circumcision is Of o grea'
antiquity among the Hebrews, and Is re
garded by them as q heaven-ordaineC
institution and implies q rejection OF thu
sins OF the. flesh. This rite has also &C
quired q secondary and to the Jews {
most important meaning; that is, it is thu
national characteristic or distinguishing
mark. Its antiquity we say is very great
and upon reference we find that It hal
been and is in some instances practicei
by others than Israelites. Indeed thu
Encyclopedia Britannica" hints at al
Arabic origin OF the institution, but BY
them it was prActied at the entrance o
the subject on puberty, while among TIT
Israelites it is observed on the eighth day
The rite was also observed by the Egyp
tiaus and others.
After the ceremony, whichwas observed
with great reverence by tho Jews in at
tendance, the guests we're invited 10 par
