TO Smooth the Way.


Mr.. John Russell Young reports General
Grant as saying in conversation during
an idle hour at sea
Il looked for time as IL Washburne
would be the dark horse instead Of Hayes.
But bis friends were unwise in their antag-
onisms, especially to Logan. / used to
reason with them about IL, and to try to
make peace, and smooth Washburne's way.
Logan is man who will pout and get cross
and become unreasonable; but when the
time comes for action-when the party of
the country needs his service--he 10 first at
the front, and no man is more trustworthy.
I never could see why Logan's temper
could interfere with bis career, especially
because he was at heart, and in every trial,

A GOVERNMENT THAT RULES ONLY by
KINDLY ADMoSITIoNs.
International Resiem.

These islands have recently become
regular province of the Japanese Empire,
but are still a subject of serious controver-
~ between japan and China Their an
Gent name was Lieu Kin, which has been
corrupted by modern navigators into Loo
Choo, Loo Chew and Doc Choo but the
more musical term Of Okinawa was given
10 them BY the inhabitants themselves
themselves centuries ago, and the meaning
OF It is 1.-The cord lying upon the sea-"
The entire group consists of 81 islands, The
largest Of which is SIS miles lcng by 8 to 33
in width, and has a circumference of ia
n, or about 27S miles. During the whole
OF the eighteenth century the islands of
Okinawa would seem to have renamed in
a state of perfect tranquility. They contin-
ued to pay double tribute to China and
japan, and having faithfully done so they
felt that they had right to bring in from
abroad any new ideas that they might
fancy. Hence they imported the paper
mulberry from Japan and began to manu-
fscturs paper and from China sbey OBJ
tainsd the secret of making India ink, sand
also, as an article of food when young. and
for the beauty of its wood, they imported
and cultivated the famous m0so bamboo.
They also adopted code of criminal
laws and laws for reward, and not only es-
tablished national school, but many local
schools in the various districts. The Pc
culiarities OF the inhabitants of Okinaw
may be summed up as follows:
They are naturally intelligent, though few
have opportunities for acquiring the knowl-
edge contai1ed in books their language is
closely allied to that Of the Japanese their
occupations are chiefly agricultural, the
leading productions being rice, wheat su-
gar, millet, sweet potatoes, beans, peas,
radishes, turnips, tobacco, cotton, indigo
and fax their manufactures are limited to
cloths made from cotton and grass, to por-
celain and lacquered goods, and such other
things as are needed for simple, rural
population; all classes are industrious and
neat in their persons and habitations; their
style of dressing is Oriental and suited to
the climate ; their homes are comfortable
and picturesque the table and household
customs are similar to those of the Japan
ese ; in religion they are generally Bud
dblsts, although some Of their rites are Pc
culiar to these islands. They know not
what it is to have an army. nor any such
offspring of civilization as political dem
agogne their policy is to carry on their
pubic affairs with spirit of courtesy and
kindness. When they have deemed it
necessary to carry guns ou their little ves-
sells they have borrowed them from Satsu-
ma. They use the Japanese alphabet aud
write after the manner of their neighbors
and protectors and in speaking of their
language they claim that six-tenths of the
words are japanese, three.renths local
dialect and one-tenth Chinese. When any
public business is to be transacted the peo-
pie are called together in THEN several dis.
tricts and the men in authority accomplish
the purpose of the government by kindly
admonitions.

THE SAND LOT.
KEARNEY DENoUNCEs THE IRISH RELIEF
SUBSCRIPTION FUND.
s. +. Chronicle 9th,

,. r. Chronicle YIN.
Dennis KearEey at the Sand Lot yester-
day afternoon said that Parnell told him
that he came here. not to raise money for
the relief Of the starving people of ireland,
but to enable him to carry on the political
agitation in the old country. He was ia.
vorably impressed with Parnell. and was
satisfied he was on the right track and
should be supported. Since his return to,
California he had noticed that the New
York Herald and its leprous proprietor had
donated 800, 900, ostensib,y for the relief
of the suffering la ireland. He undertook
to assert, and defied contradiction, that it
was move simply designed to interfere
with and break down the movement Of
Parnsll to raise fund for the Land League.
The $100, 900 was sent over from London
for this purpose. 1t was British gold sent
over by the Irish landlords and gold kings
for this express purpose by the Herald,
which had always championed the interests
of the landlords against the poor people Of
ireland. More than that, jim Bennett was
now in England seeking to marry the Prin-
cess Beatrice. He hoped Bennett would
rot there before he ever returned to this
country. He counseled the Irishmen of
this country and their friends not to SUBJ
scribe to such fund, designed to fill the
bellies of the hungry people Of Ireland, but
to give their money to the Land League
fund, which, after giving the people good
meal, would enable them to rise and COM
pc, the landlords to give them the land or
their blood. or both. He was satisfied that
by so doing the Irishmen in Ireland could
cut the throats of all the landlords and take
the land, and he would be with them when
the throat-cutting commenced. The Rus
sian Nihilists were exhibiting a courage
that others would do,wel to initiate. He
said that the workingmen had not stretched
their hemp yet, and it might be necessary
to stretch it with members Of the Legisla-
ture before the session ended. fthe peo-
pie could not get their rights by peaceful
and lawful means, they must take the mat
ter into their own hands and take it by vi
olent measures. .o-.u

The earth al that time was supposed to he
fiat circular plain or disc, the broadest
part being from east to west, which was
entirely surrounded by an ocean, or great
river, that washed it upon all sides. In
about the centre of this plain Greece was
Supposed to be situated. The great cen.
trail sea of the inhabited region was the
Mediterranean. The farthest point known
at the straits Of Gibraltar, then called the
Pillar OF Hercules. The southern part
comprised tina north Of Africa as far as the
deserts, while the region north embraced
the countries bordering upon the Mediter-
ranean and an unknown hyperborean land
farther to the north, with the Euxine and
Caspian seas at the southeast. The far
thess eastern point known was the western
limit Of India. This was what would be
contained in map as a representation Of
the earth. The sun was supposed to pass
around and under this fiat plain, which was
then the mode of accounting for the changes
of day and night. The space beneath was
supposed to be great vault, called Tarta.
rus, the abode of the spirit of the wicked
among men, as the regioa corresponding to
It, above the plain, was the heaven or the
abode OF the gods. The unknown region
beyond the Pillars of Hercules was filled

tion of the Greeks. To the northwest and
north were the Cimmerians, a people liv-
ing IN perpetual darkness ; and the Hyper
boreans, race supposed to be exempt
from toll, disease or war, who enjoyed life
in a state of undisturbed serenity. To the
west of Sicily were the enchanted isIands
of Circe and Calypso, aud the floating island
of Eolus. A little to the north OF the Pill
lar or Hercules was the entrance to the
Internal regions. and far out on the vest
ern ocean, beyond the limits of the known
earth, was the happy region called Elysi-

gentle zephyr constantly blew, where tenn
pests were unknown, and where the spirits
of those whose lives have been approved
by the gods dwelt in perpetual felicity.
