A GOOD INyEsTMENT.

The haudsomest dollar in the world is that which is earned by some good, honest em- ployment of the head or hand. Wealth that comes by chance is no measure of the capac- ity of it's possessor, and is never appreciated like that which is earned.

 YOKOHAMA, Japan, Nov. 20.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND OosnIE1s
 Every sojourner in Japan Iongi for 8 glimpse of Japanese royalty; but it is not often that this is afforded, for the reason that the upper strata of society ia this island practice tantalizing exclusiveness. It was with satisfaction, therefore, that I read in an evening paper that the Mikado and suite would patrenize the Yokohama races on the opening day; and the appointed time for the arrival of his special train at the Ycko- hama depot last Tuesday found me perohed in the nest conspicuous place on the station premises. There was no need for my eager ness, since there was little opposition en- countered in getting good view" Here in Japan, where ten years ago when the Mikado exhibited his sacred person to his people the occasion was the most stupendous sensation of the day, there is not the interest experienced to-day in beholding him that there is in seeing President in the United 0s@b0o3 tioRs exist. There was no applause at any time, no exhibition of enthusiasm, no audi ble greeting. In fact, there were not three hundred people gathered at the depot, and these were of the lower classes. Neither was there sny considerable decoration for the oc- casion, only few houses in the vicinity of the depot hanging out the Japanese flag, representing a red sun upon pure white background. And yet the occasion was quite generally accepted as holiday. The for eiRners here take occasion of the slightest anniversary to declare for holiday. The Yokohama banks actually suspend operations in honor of twenty-one holidays per annum, including the birthday of almost every mon arch on earth, the fall race season, and any other unusual occurrence. Many of the stores were also closed and were SO adyer tised both in the newspapers and by means of piacards attached to the front doors.
 The Enlperor's private coach-not the one used on State occasions-together with 8 magnificent span of African horses from the royal stables. had been sent down on the morning freight and were standing in the arcade at the front of the depot when I ST. rived. It was of course an elegant equi-

A CURIOUS CONTEsT.


 We have previously noticed the very inter- esting and curious fight which is going on in and around Stockholm, Sweden, between Mr. L. o. Smith, prominent distilIer known as the Brandy King, and the supporters of what is known as the Gothenburg system of regulating the traffic in intoxicating liquors. This fight is waxing warm and it's outcome 1 will be watched for with interest by both temperance advocates and believers in free rum.
 The Gothenburg system. against which the Brandy King has directed his batteries, is 1 both a novel and effective temperance msa- sure. Under this system the sale of intoxi- eating liquors is under the direct control of the municipal authorities, and most of the profits from such sale goes to the municipali- ties. To show how the system has worked it is said that in Gothenburg, which has ST. 900 inhabitants, there are now only twenty places in which spirits are sold, and Stock holm, with population of 180,0 900, has only eighty of these public houses. One point in the system is that 1t is made an object to the keeper of municipal liquor saloon to sell tea and coffee to his customers rather than
 
 he receives on the sale of these harmless beverages is much larger than that derived from the sale of intoxicating drinks. Then, toe, the municipal monopoly has led to great increase in price of spirits, so that those who are accustomed to use them lave found a continuance of their habit very ex- pensive.
 The Gothenburg system has made Sweden one of the most temperate countries in the world, and the great decrease in the use of spirits has seriously affected the Brandy Kings business. He has therefore made war upon the system in large way. One of his methods has been to run steamboat, in which would be customers are conveyed free to his distiIleries, which, being beyond the limits of the city, are not gov erned by the municipal regulations. He has in Stockholm induced 25, 900 workingmen to pledge themselves to keep away from the liquor shops maintained by the munioi- | pality, and, as an inducement to these opera sick relief clubs, ,co-operative tenementhouses and other works of somewhat philanthropic | character. It ia his intention to secure the 1 interference of the national government; and | he points out that the continuance of the sys- tenn, by limiting ths amount of spirits manu- | factured and consumed, is greatly to the det | rinaeRt of the national revenue, since the tax collected from this is largely reduced.
 The Brandy King hopes to make himself l and his cause popular enough to bring about 1 change. He has with him those who want l Intoxicating liquors plenty and cheap, and l they are numerous class in all civilized l countr1es Un the other nand the support CTS of the Gothenburg system can point to | the great change for the better which it has brought about-a change which is very | sweeping and impressive. The Brandy King l has no such arguments to use as they have, 1 and it will be surprising if he is victorious l over them.

In the province nf Ceara, in Brazil, the problem of the abolition of slavery has been successfully attacked. The anti-sIavsry feel ing has been rapidly growing there. and within the year seventeen municipalities. in- cluding the capital of the province, have given unconditional freedom to all their slaves, numbering about 1000. The prov ince itself has even taken up the matter, and has decreed against the renewal of slavery wherever it has once been abolished, and has raised the tax on slaves to $1o0. This is vir- tuslly an act of abolition, fer the tax is much greater than the price usually paid for emancipation in that province.

General Slocum of New York, chairman of the new select committee on American ship building and ship owning, is in favor Of all lowing ship owners to purchase vessels wher- ever they can get them cheapest, and of ad- hitting such vessels to American register. He is opposed to giving direct subsidies to vessel owners, but is in favor of removing some of the burdens which rest upon the American shipping industry. He thinks that a majority of the house Of representatives would vote for free ships if the question were presented. In order to encourage American shipbsilding he thinks the builder in the United States should be allowed tine use of free material by giving him rebate of du- ties paid on materials imported and used in the construction of vessels for the foreign trade; of ths several bills already introduced in Congress, he thinks that the one which proposes to remove certain burdens upon American shipping, such as the three months pay to discharged seamen, the obli- gation to carry mates, and the provisions of law requiring payment of various fees to port officers, will meet with no opposition.

A young Hebrew of St. Petersburg, named Sehisgal, has invented & watch that goes by electricity. Herr Chowlson. professor of physics at the University of St. Petersburg, has written an article on the subject in which he says that in its remarkable simplicity this invention can only be compared with the Jsblochkof system of electric lighting. The watches are without any springs, and consist solely of two wheels. Besides being true, they have the advantage of the second hand moving in single momentary leaps, as is usu- ally the case only in very costly watches, and which is of the utmost utility for astronomical observations. These watches can also set in motion certain number of watches of the same construction, so that they all keep exact tins. The professor says the invention has convinced him tkat watches can be used for the purpose of telegraphy.

 By majority of six votes in total of 21o, the Hungarian Chamber of Magnates has re- jected the government bill legalizing the in- termarriage of Chritians and Hebrews. The majority consisted mainly of the episcopacy and those members of the aristocracy who devote the least time to public business and are, as 8 rule, absent from the House of Peers. Of Count Andrassy's speech in favor of tho bill the correspondent of the London Telegraph says: He uttered words of wisdom when hs said that in religious questions the worst cempro- mise is preferable to strife; but perhaps, the finest part of his oration was the passage in which he established that it was an error to represent all human progress as revolutionary. The broad elevated views expounded by Count Andrassy could not fail to tell on an assembly composed to great extent of the most learned and enlightened men in the country, and it was unquestionably thanks to Lis prominent intervention in the debate that the mej ,rity agairst the bill was not far more considerable.

Some of She tales told about the making of money in Bell telephone stock are decidedly interesting. A young man is now operating in Wall street who, not over six years ago
 was office boy to Ex-Governor Gaston. This young man was bright and keen, and made himself so useful to his distinguished en- ployer that he was called ''the Governor" This young man is rich now, and he made it ali in Bell telephone. While he was an office boy che Bell company used to employ him to do copying for them. They paid him in their stock, which almost everybody then thought was as worthless as stock in lunar navigation company. But 'sths Governor
 held on to his stock. He was youngster of eredulity, and some shrewdness too. Up and up boomsd Bell telephone, and yet he did not lose his head. He waited till it got so far:up that the kite was out of sight when he tsrealized, ]" and he is now Wall street opera tor, partner of Jesse Grant, and the only outsider that Grants family ever invite to Christmas dinner. Another man, cabinet maker, was employed by the Bell company to make their little boxes. They paid him, too, in stock, and he got such g heap of it that he thought he should be Q ruined man. Nobody

Recent Meteors.
March 6, 1888.

The appearance of a huge exploding
meteor in Virginia on Sunday morning,
closely resembling in the direction of
its flight, its apparent size, the effects
produced by its explosion, and even
the color of its light, the two great
meteors which within the last three
weeks have startled the inhabitants of
southern New England and of Missis-
sippi is significant. 1t shows that the
earth is now in region of space where
large meteoric bodies in unusual num-
bers fall within its attraction. The
question is suggested whether these
meteors may not be stray members of
the meteOric train of the great comet
of last Fall 1t is known that comets
are followed by flocks of meteors, and
that the showers Of falling stars in
August and November are caused by
the passage of the earth through
swarms of small meteoric- bodies which
revolve in the orbits oftwo well-known
periodical comets. The head of the
great comet last fall appeared to be
divided into two or three portions, and
fragments of cometary matter were
seen in its neighborhOod at various
times, indicating that it had been par
TALLY shattered either by the tremen-
dous divellent forces called into action
during its exceedingly close perihelion
swing around the sun, or by some un-
known force. Some huge holes which
made their appearance in the surface Of
the sun just after the comets perihelion
passage were attributed to the down.
fall of fragments of the comet or Of
members of its train of meteors. If il
should turn out that the great meteors
which have recently entered our at
mosphere, and whose fragments have
doubtless reached the earth's surface
really belonged to the retinue of thC
great comet, it would be most interest
ing to possess such tangible relics of {
celestial body which for two months
was the most brilliant, attractive, anC
wonderful object in our skies.-Neo
