Japan Letter, No. 2.
KnnE IApAN May 26th

KOBE JAPAN, May 2otn, 1873. We have the English church service once
 every Sunday; it is so nearly like our service that it seems home like. We have pretty little church. The first Sunday l was here was Communion the church was well filled for the anti service, but there were but thir-
 teen stayed to Communion. The life and
 practice of the foreign population here IS
 positive bar to the usefulness of the missiona ries, for they out-heathen the heathen. It is
 said that the Japanese government would ex- pei the foreigners if they had the power, and
 should not wonder If that were the case. The teaching of the missionary must seem farcical
 in the extreme to a thinking educated Japan
 csc. who notes the lie and practice of the to them Christian. The class of men sent out to preach and teach, instead of being men
 of talent, it seems as though the most ordinary men were selected. What is the good of send ing out such men, when their own countrymen are the ones to be preached to first. It seems to me to be money thrown away. There are one or two missionaries of our church at Oraca not far from us, and am really afraid to meet
 them, for fear they are as unit for the station as those I have heard. I should feel very sorry to find that our church had sent out men so unfit for this field oflabor.
 This is the healthiest place in this quarter of the globe, and great many people come here from Hong Kong, Shanghi, and other places to spend the summer on account of the healthy location. like the native workmen, and bid fair to become great favorlte with. them they are very sensitive, intelligent and polite in the extreme.

Legislative Notes.

The Legislature adjourned without day last Thursday. There was an unusual feature about the adjournment which, in the absence of better claim, may entitle this to be called a reform legislature. There were no presen- tations of watches etc., and not the usual quantity of sentimental gush. The session has been of the usual length, and about the same amount of business has been acted upon. This would probably be the case if we had a session every three months. The greater part of every session is taken up in rejecting ridiculous bills, (which ought never toS have been introduced, and which, according to the practice which obtains, must all go through the same routine and take up more or less time.
 Among the more important measures which have become laws are the following -
 The Constitutional amendment giving the | Governor power to nominate judges of the 1 Supreme and Superior Courts; secured the requisite two-thirds in each house, and will be submitted to the people in October
 The law relating to investments of Savings Banks and trust funds, has been amended by adding Kansas and Nebraska to the list of States, and Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati Chicago, Mil waukee, and St. Louis to the list of cities, and by authorizing such investments in first mortgage bonds of any railroad company in those states, which has paid dividends of not less than five per cent per annum regularly on it's entire capital stock for period of five years next previous to the purchase, etc. | The dividends which may be paid to de- positors have also been reduced from one quarter to one-eighth of one per cent. Cash iers of banks, and treasurers of trust compa- nies are required to give bond in not less than $l0,OOO. Receivers of Banks, Saw ings Banks and trust companies are allowed one per cent. on the amount of dividends paid depositors. The separate property of mar ried woman is to be listed ill her name if she wishes it. No divorce is to be granted until 90 days after the return day of the writ. The order of argument in criminal cases is chang ed-the State is to have the opening and clos ing. This has been the practice in all the states except Connecticut. The law requir- ing two judges in capital cases is abolished Assigning debtors arc required to file sworn statement, giving list of creditors, with amount due, and residence and a schedule of property. Persons having settlement in one town may gain settlement in another town by vote of inhabitants, or of Selectmen and Justices of the Peace Voters in School Districts are required to be registered. The wages of minors are exempted from attach ment to the amount of $25., except for board.

 The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Rom dout, New York, furnishes an apt illustra- tion of woman's power of endurance. This lady had been treated for months in the usual way for Erysipelas of the hand, with out benefit. Not until her hand had become a mass of purified flesh, did she turn to Dr. Kennedy, proprietor of the "Favorite Remedy" for help.
 He informed her that 1t was impossible to save the band-it must be anputated. She received this terrible intelligence quietly, declined to take ether, stipulating merely to hold her husbands hand during the operation, and underwent the painful process without moving @ muscle or utter ing groan. Dr. Kennedy then gave 'Fa- vorite Remedy" freely to cleanse the blood and prevent the return of the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.
 Dr. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is fast becoming a trusted household friend in all cases of Female Weaknes' and dis eases of the blood, Kidney and Liver Com plaints, and Constipation of the Bowels. (6)

A person deshi1g an injunction hereaft, r will have to give bonds. A law was passed making 8 radical change in the manner of se- lecting jurors. The first section is as follows:
 "All jurors shall be electors not less than thirty years of age estimated in their com munity as men of good character, approved integrity, sound Judgment and fair education"
 It then provides that the Selectmen! shall annually in May, select from the persons thus qualified, twice the number of jurors provided by the law, and return them OF or before the first of June, to the clerk of the court. The judges of the Superior Court, at their annual meeting in June shall appoint two persons in each county, who, with the Clerk and Sheriff, l shall be commissioners of jurors. This Com mission shall meet second Monday of July ID the Clerks office and erase one-half of names from each list. The remainder shall be the jurors for one year from the first of the following September The Clerk is to keep a separate box for each town and draw the ! names as required, except that he is to fur nish list to each town to select justices ju- TOTS from, as now provided by law. Last but not least, ''The Tobacco Growers Mutual Insurance Company" was duly incor- porated.
 But tbis Legislature will hereafter be dis | tlnguished for its acts of omission rather than GllOSe OI COMMISSION. nreo or the most 1Hl- portant subjects that could come before any legislature, failed to receive proper attention, viz:
 l. Temperance,
 2. Women, 3. Lawyers.
 The temperance bills were all continued or killed. A bill giving women right to vote on the license question passed the House, but when 1t reached the Senate it was treated with almost silent contempt, only one or two senators voting for it. So too, in regard to Mr. Wadhams' funny bills. One grave Sen ator said of one ot them, it was unworthy O consideration in such body as that. There were three of them if we mistake not one that lawyers should not charge any fees, an Fother that every man should be lawyer anG still another applying the principles of the common law to the legal fraternity. They al sleep the sleep. that knows no waking. "Re Qat5escGt % pace" It is notable that all- or nearly all these great measures of Gre form came to grief in the Senate, and th' advocates of womans rights should look af ter it. If it is going to place itself as an ob stacle to the onward march of reform, one o these days it will have Ito go," like th'
 heathen Chinee. Revolutions never go back
