ONE FOR THE NEW CONSTITUTION

A new and Interesting case of opening
and closing y succession in one day
under the new Constitutions, Article
2lO, has just occurred in our parish. "
George. Lane died poor, leaving a
widow and minors in necessitous Cir
cutnstances. The attorneys Watkins,
had the widow confirmed as natural
tutriX, an inventory made, showing
property value Of $739, all of which
consisted of exempted articles. On a
petition to the Judge and notice to the
under tutor on proof the, widow and
minors were placed in possession. The
list of exemptions were then recorded
Under article ia Of 1880. All done in
one day at small cost.
We cite the above as one of many
instances in which the new Constitu-
ton has benefited the people. Under
the old laws, months and days elapsed
ere an estate was wound up aud then
frequently the expenses would. abs orb
all the available means and leave the
succession still in debt.-1fDnlen Demo-
crut. ..
We told you scat least we said
that the new United States Senator
from this State would be an admirable
representative of Mr.. ConIlIing, and
behold! we were right. Mr.. Thomas
g. Plntt, the gentleman who has Sc
cured tho nomination, will enter the
Senate Chamber under the greatest
obligations to the great New York
Granite. Mr.. PIatt probably has II
mind of his own, but we feel assured
that he will always be ready to ac-
knowledge the power of an intellect
superior to his, 'and to pursue the
right policy. The policy of Mr.. Conls-
ling he will generally find right. If
we had had any choice in the matter,
we should have preferred Mr.. Depew
to Mr.. Platt, who is but little known
to fame. Mr.. Depcw is not only a
capital af:er-dinner speaker, but is also
tho bosom friend OF one of our greatest
railroad monopolisis, and would have
done much to protect this downtrod.

The Gulf stream received its name
from tho fact that it was long supposed
to originate i'll the Gulf of Mexico.
According to Humboldt it receives its
first impulse near the Southern ex-
tremity of Africa. From the Gulf of
Mexico this stream flows into the
Atlantic Ocean between Florida and
Cuba, whence ii runs northward, nearly
parallel, to tho American coast until ii
reaches Nova Scotia ana Ncwfound-
| land, where one branch runs downward
towards tho Azores, while the other
flows nofthward toward the British
Islands and thence to the Polar Sea.

SOME of our fellow citizens are a good deal
exercised about the reception accorded to the
King of Hawaii, but it seems to us that Japan
has very little choice in the matter. Her guest
is either royal or not royal, and if the former,
would it be either hospitable or expedient to tell
him in so many words that there are kings and
kings, and that he is just a little below the degree
at which recognition of rank ceases to be possible?
If His Majesty were a cannibal or a Zulu there
might be some grounds for the predictions of
ridlcule to be presently incurred by Japan, as
well as for the cutlery against unnecessary ex-
penditure raised by certain well-meaning but
somewhat petulant folk. He happens, however,
to be a most agreeable and accomplished gentle
men and a dignified one to boot; a gentleman
who was for two months the honored guest of
the United States, and to whom the President of
a country which in point of wealth and impor-
lance could afford to carry a good deal of weight
in a race with the states of the old world, did
not hesitate to accord Royal honors.-The Japan
Daily Mail.

JAPANESE

Another chart shows, with painful dis
tinctiveness, the vast tracts of soil that remain
totally uncultivated in Japan; not more than
one fourth of the country, if so much, being
made to produce anything towards the sup
port of the inhabitants. The choice bits only
appear to have been selected for the growth
of cereals or vegetables, the cultivation of silk
and cotton, and in the large plains or noun
tain districts land suited for the rearing of
cattle and the production of fruit, vegetables
or corn is permitted to lie unbroken or unused.
A model of a valley in Kiso, made of wood, is
not only an excellent specimen of the peculiar
genius of the people among whom we live, as
a work of art, but it demonstrates, even more
forcibly than the map referred to, the very
small proportion, compared with the whole,
of soil utilised for agricultural, pastoral or
any other purpose. This model is said to
have been drawn to a scale; and a careful
fairly accurate idea of the natural features of
that part of the country. Miniature houses
represent the villages and towns, green trees
the forests, and small brown patches the
ground under cultivation. The roads ap-
pear to be rough and narrow; and no
doubt the difficulty of transit has much
to do with the very small proportion of
land made productive. If King Kalakaua
is on a visit to this country with the
intention of inducing Japanese
to desert the broad acres here-which only
await tilling to make the people prosperous
and independent, land go with him to a
country of which they know nothing, a study
of the maps and models in the third building
to agriculture at the exhibition will
be sufficient for His Majesty to see the fruit
and utter absurdity of asking the
people to abandon the vast natural wealth un-
in ~Japan.-Jdpdn Gazette.

WHILST naturally feeling gratified at the
distinguished reception accorded to King
KaIakaua in Japan-a reception which,
Notwithstanding his desire to travel
~ineognitO, he could not refuse-we cannot
but express regret that His Majesty did
not leave here fully provided by a special
vote of his Legislature, to travel with the
state that belongs to his rank. When we
reflect on the attention shown by the
Imperial Government of Japan to our King,
we cannot but recall the fact that Hawaii
occupies in effect a prouder position in the
commonwealth Of nations than does that
country itself. Hawaii enjoys a perfect
autonomy which, in consequence of former
efforts to repress the intrusion of foreigners,
neither Japan or the great empire of China
can claim, whilst within their territories
the Consular Courts OF foreign nations are
allowed to exercise a Jurisdiction which
they derive directly from the governments
Of their own countries. No doubt the
example of this Kingdom will be awaited of
By the Mikado and his ministers in their
efforts TO get rid of a system which must be
a thorn in the side Of so ancient and so
Important a monarchy. This feeling doubt
less had something to do with the specially
courteous and distinguished reception
which our King has received in Japan.
We notice in papers, published in the
English language in Japan, remarks about
the extent of undeveloped territory there
and discouraging to the emigration of
Japanese to other countries. We are glad
however, to know that the visit of King
Galakaua has inspired the Emperor and
his Government to listen favorably to

AT THE AKAsAKA PALACE.

The JMainichi Shin6un, writes as follows-His
Majesty the King of Hawaii went, as we stated
was his intention, to the Akasaka Palace on the
18th inst. at 2 p. m. where he had an interview
with His Majesty the Emperor. Refreshments
were partaken of, and a conversation ensued ON
the political administration of Japan and Hawaii.
The King left at about three O'Clock. He was to
have visited the national exhibition again that
morning, but the visit was postponed owing to
the inclemency Of the weather. The King studies
his people greatly, and has long paid great
attention to sanitary affairs. He has established
a laZaretto ON the island of Molokai. under
proper official superintendent. The patients
all receive medical treatment and are also en-
gagged in such employment as they are acquainted
with. Thus they can be cured of their disease,
while at the same time they can earn a livelihood.
The Kihdi Biyoin (Leprosy Hospital) at Toxic,
sent a present of a quantity of medicines used in
curing leprosy to Hawaii, through the Japanese
consul in that country, in November 1879,
Awaiting himself of the visit of the King, Mr..
Goto Shobun, the president of the said hospital,
sent his son, Shochku, to the Enriokaoan on the
the 9th inst. to inquire whether these had proved
eficacious or not. TIL son had an interview
with the Chief Commissioner of Colonial Affairs
of Hawaii, after which His Majesty received him
in audience, and thanked him for the present.
He put many questions as to the origin of
leprosy, the methods of curing it, &C., to which
his interviewer gave minute answers and present
ed a pamphlet, written in English, containing
explanations about this disease. His Majesty
read it through, and expressed much pleasure
with it saying that should he ever visit Hawaii,
he (the King) would be glad to extend him every
possible assistance during his stay.
