jects of great wonder to the strang-
er, so muscular, SO strong, drawing
such loads at most amazing speed.
One man will sometimes take unrik
sha seventy-fve miles day. The
first thing Of important interest to
attract our attention was the royal
boat racing. Yokohoma seems to be
fast becoming famous for its atten
ton to, and encouragement Of ath
letic sports The boating clubs were
having their annual races at the
time of our arrival, and to
add still more interest to
the occasion, two of the
sons Of the Prince of Wales, were
among the contestants. That after
noon we came on to Toxic, coming
over the first railroad that was laid
in Japan. It is fair example OF
Japanese public extravaganza. 1t is
a narrow gauge road of Is miles, Of
which the cost of construction was
$12,0O0,O00 half as much as the Gin
cinnati Southern cost, which is $50
miles long, and is broad gauge. It
was built by the government. No
wonder the nation is in debt and its
currency depreciated so per cent
Sir James Balm, Lord Mayor Of
Glasgow, was one of our fellow-yoy-
ayers. He comes to Japan
in behalf Of the British
government, for the purpose
of adjusting the treaty between the
two nations. [ asked him what he
expected Of Japans political future.
He Said he expected Japan to re
cede somewhat from it's present ad-
vanced position; it was not yet
ready to hold the place it had taken
by too rapid and sudden strides for
ward. She had gone in debt, and
there was no way for her now but to
retrench.
One soon finds after reaching here
that he has come to land of bick-
erings and delays. A bargain must
always be made with the iinriksha
! men, and it takes much argument
and waste of logic to convince them
before they come to the right
terms. Then as to delays,
/ Sol.oSIin matte, (wait little) seems
to be the prevailing maxim in Japan.
If nine o'clock is the hour appointed
to start on an excursion, it is under
stood by the jinrikisha men that ten
O'Clock, Of course, is the real time of
starting.
Rev. Mr.. and Mrs Knox, Of the
Presbyterian mission of this place,
have been bereft this week of one of
their little ones. It died after q very
short illness, and we buried it to day

foreigners are inferred.

has been discussed and repeated
over and ovsr again" And the pris-
oner settled himself back in his
chair to have quiet read.
Scoville here interposed in the
support of Guiteau, of ihe objection
to repetition After some discussion
between the counsel, the cross
examination was resumed and di-
rected to the events of the morning
of the 2ud of July. The prisoner,
after he was started on this subject,
wont ahead, and when Judge Porter
attempted to ask a question, was
teld to keep quiet.
Prisoner then proceeded with his
story. Blaine and the President drove
up in a single horse carriage and not
in the White House carriage, which
showed how much the President was
under Blaines influence Blaine was
blowing and blowing, and the Presi-
dent was listening. They were on
most intimate relations. Blaine got
out Of one side of the carriage
and Garfield out of the oher.
They walked into the depot and
passed within few feet of the pris-
oner, who drew his weapon and fired
twice and hit him once.
Question.-'You shot him in the
back ?"
Answer.-"I did not fire at any
particular place"
Q.-"Did you not fire for the
hollow Of his back ?"
Any intention was to seoot
him in the back
Q.-"Did you think if he got two
balls in his back, it would remove
him?'
A" 1 thought so"
! Q.-"And you intended to put
them there
Al did"
Q.-Qn solemn msnner)-And
from that hour to this you have never
felt regret or remorse?"
Al regret giving pain or
trouble to any one, but I have no
doubt as to the necessity of the act
or divinity of the act"
Q.-"You have never limited at
any remorse?'
Any mind is perfectly blank
on that subject"
Q--"Do you feel any more res
morse about rendering his wife a
widaw, and his children fatherless,
than about breaking leg of that
puppy dog there?
Al have no conception of it as
murder or killing
Q.-"And you have no remorse
AIN low and almost inaudible
tone)-I feel remorse SO far as my
own personal feelings are concerned
I feel remorse as much as any man
and regret the necessity of the act
but raising his voice
Porter.-"Cross examination il
closed"
"But," continued the prisoner e1
citedly, "My duty to the Lord an6
the American people overcame my
personal feelings. If the Lore
had not inspired that act
it would not have been done.
Scoville then proceeded with the
re. direct examination, apparently
seeking to remove the impressio
created by the conclusion Of the cross
examination. Guiteau then left thu
stand, and other witnesses were called
, most of whom did not respond.
Adjourned.

GhOulish Undertakers i'm
New York.

The New York Herald exposes
the practices ofundertakers in that
city, who, after collecting money
for opening graves in cemeteries
by the parents of dead children,
dispose of the bodies by selling
them to the colleges, or throw
them upon the commissioners of
charities and correction for inter-
mont ia a pauper grave. One case
is given where the poor parents of
child had procured rosewood
casket in veriaDle bed of satin
and laces. To save the expense of
hiring carriages to follow it to the
cemetery the casket was entrusted
to an undertaken to inter it in the
grave already paid for, but the
next day the same infant was
found in a maccaroni box, the cas-
ket and all its tinery gone, and its
destination was pauper's grave.
The parents believing that the I'M
dsrtaker had performed his part
of the contract, probably watered
ths earth in the family plot with
their tears, and planted evergreens
and roses about it out of loving re-
spect for the family olive branch
so prematurely hurried into anOth-
er world.

go to Cincinnati. 1t seems that
German merchant absented him
self from home In order to have
some fun in that wicked neigh
boring city on the Ohio. After
two days of fun, he returned home
at midnight. He found his wife
apparently asleep, and turned in.
Before long his spouse awoke,
complaining of violsnt neuralgia
pains, for which a remedy could
only be found at the nearest drug
store. So the husband got up,
dressed himself in the dark, and
after getting the drug put his hand
in his pocket to get the fifty-cent
piece demanded. But what was
his surprise to find that important
article of clothing looked very unfa-
miliar to him +; in fact, he had new
er seen the pants before they OBJ
viously belonged to somebody
else. His establishment was heigh-
tened when he ran his hand down
in the pocket and discovered a
pistol and a pocket book, to which
also he could lay 10 claim. But
his surprise was raised to fever
heat when he opened the pocket
book and found it to contain $112.-
rs, whereat when he got from Gin
cinnati he only had 81 %. He re-
turned home in quandary, and
instituted search for his own pants,
which were missing. The climax
was reached when he examined
his new acquisition and discover.
