There has been n great deal Of talk during the
week past concerning the Band and the Hotel.
Rumor has gone so far as TO assert that the
public are to be denied the pleasure of hearing
the Band on other than moonlight nights az
Emma Square. We are not aware that there is
the slightest authority for any such assertion. In
all probability, until some proper understanding
is arrived at by those " whom II may concern
the Band will not play 80 frequently in the
Hotel grounds as hitherto, but there IL still the
Square that is at all times available. moonlight
or not. One complaint about playing at Tire
Hotel comes from the public. They (the pubIic)
have been heard TO say that there is little or no
accommodation for them in the Hotel grounds
seats for 30 or 40 probably, not more. The
public feel it TO be too heavy II task 10 stand or
walk round for two hours and n half. On the
other hand, it is said that there liz the spacious
Hotel verandah. But is that for the public, or
is it for the Hotel guests ? The natives, and also
many foreigners, who form a large portion OF
the Bands audience, do not care to venture
whore they might possibly be intruding. III the
Baud Is required for the special benefit of the
Hotel and its occupants, no doubt il is alwnys
available with the permission of Governor
Duniuis. and on bestowing a small douceur for
the eXtFn labor imposed upon the not over-paid
band boys. There is no necessity to cry ont
before one is hurt. Since Mr.. Berger's return
we have had two delightful concerts, and we
hope to have another on Saturday next. To-
morrow week we hope to hear them ina their very
best form, the occasion being His M~aiestyis

It'll TINES LEADING ARTIcLE.-E Extract from
the London Times Passing by a crowd Of minor
notions, We come upon the exhibit of the Waltham
Watch Company, which, in economical importance,
is perhaps superior to anything else shown. The
rivalry Of the watches of this Company has already
been felt by our own makers. and a hesitating at
tempt was made last session, in the interest of the
Coventry manufacturers to prevent the watch
cases of the Company receiving the English stamp,
which certifes that they are made of gold. 1t
would seem that the Waltham Watches may defy
all attempts 10 exclude them in this indirect way.
Their first claim to public approval was derived
from the extraordinary nicely of their construction.
They were made with such perfect exactitude that
the parts of all watches of the same class could be
interchanged, and, production being thus made
possible on a large scale, cheapness as we'll as excel
ience was secured. But the Company have gone
on introducing improvements in their art, and the
compensation balance they have devised seems to
have overcome the standing difficulty Of the vary
ing expansibility Of the spring and the wheel. 1t is
said that the delicacy Of construction of the me-
chanism invented by the Company is such that a
micrometer they exhibit at Paris measures the
twenty-fve-thOusandth part of an inch. and might
readily be divided under a lens INFO one-hundred-
thousandth parts. NJ. MCINERNY, Agent for this

taken the special mission Of inducing emigration
from Japan OF coolies to work on the sugar pIan-

objects OF my journey to Japan, as also TO correct
some little deficiencies in the treaty between that
country and the Government i represent. pro-
pose to have the japanese Government call a con-
vention, before which the matter will be properly
placed. As to the inducements to emigrants. /

The Chronicle adds CA gentleman who for
many years was n resident in both China and
Japan said the japanese were very ayerse to
emigration Of this people. As to the Chinese
not being wanted in the Sandwich Islands, " he
said, - they have no desire to 20 there on account
of the il~l-treatment received from the planters.

Rubbing q Lottery Ticket for
Luck.
How II srccEEnEn-

We don't take very much stock in Professor
Grimmer's dire representations, nor in the dark
pictures held up by any other of the professors
or people who see dread sights and pestilence in
the stars. The fact is, there is too little of the
credulous ia our mental makeup, and that's
what helps us in more ways than one. We have
heard of q case that occurred lately in our city.
and We give the facts thereof as stated 10y Mr..
Charles F. Miller, Sixteenth and Holiday streets,
who knows most about it. As We said, we don't
take much stock in q" lucky " or 4" unlucky q"
means or mysteries; but we furnish the following
as conveying its own conclusions. We think
the lottery tickets of the future will have q char
acteristic odor. Mr.. Miller says: Having long
been aware of the beneficial qualities Of st. Ja-
cobs Oil on the human body, | have just learned
of a new use it may be put to to alleviate the
ailments of man. 1t is said that health is wealth,
and truly St. Jacobs Oil has not alone given me
health, but has been a means Of beneiting my
financial condition. After using il with great
success as a cure for rheumatism, l took a no.
ton to anoint a ticket of the Colorado State Lot
terry, which was in my possession, with it; and
10! and beholdl after repeated failures previous
to this occasion my ticket gained a prize of no
small dimensions-thanks to st. Jacobs Oil. j
must therefore render praise to the wonderful
substance which does not give II man health
only, but accompanies the same with wealth as
well.
