childish to me, but I suppose the hold which the simple enterprise seemed to have upon the people was due to that clement of chance which exercises the same iron sway over men the world around.
 went to g Japanese public bath, this morn- ing, of the better sort. The usual price is one sen, but this was a rather tony one, and it was 8 national holiday or something of that sort Cthe Japanese are fertile in excuses) we were obliged to pay one sen and Q half. The bath was @ success, however. There were two main apartments one for men and one for women, which were separated by @ bamboo fence about two feet hieh,-another testimonial to the Reorganization of the peo- pie. Along the end of each apartment was long trough, about three feet wide and the same deep, filled with almost boiling water, the steam of which filled the room. In the center was stone fountain of icy cold water, while on the remaining side of the room was a nest of boxes provided with locks, where we deposited our clothes and valusbles. Be- ing hardly willing to mingle with the people themselves. we secured, by the payment of ten sen extra, little closet all to ourselves. There was no door to the room, but we con- graduated ourselves that we were studyi ing Japanese life and adapting ourselves to the ways of the people. As we passed from our boxes, having removed our robes, @ murmur of admiration ran around the room, and tho curious bathers, men and women alike, gath cred in knots to survey us with inquisitive but kindly eyes and make comments. could not understand what they said. but the friend who was with me said: "They are admiring our white color. They say, How beRutiful,-oh, how very beautifull'" We had got well to work splashing the scalding water upon us, when 8 moosmie entered the room and politely inquired if we lacked any thing. This was genuine hospitality, but we were hardly prepared for it. When we came oi7t cha ha1 z fered to rub us down or help us rebe but we felt too modest to avail ourselves of her services and so declined the offer. There is one quite peculiar feature of these native baths. Soap is never furnished. I was at one place where the sign Soap extra'' proved that foreign ideas in this matter were beginning to predominate; but always pro- viding myself against any possible emergen- cy, was not forced to invest in any of the article.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 It is we'll known to those who take an 1n- terest in the benevolent work of the Young Women's Christian association that this trnly growing and much useful institution is burdened by debt in the form of 8 mort gage of $1o, 900 on the building occupied by it at the corner of Chapel and Brewery streets At the time of purchase $1O, 900 were paid. The present debt is drag on the prosperity of the association. The ladies have lately resolved that it must be removed. Just as they were deciding on vhst steps to take, timely offer came to them of one thousand dollars on the condi- tion that the rest is raised by the first of April next. So they begin the effort with Si, 900 in the treasury devoted for the pur- pose and this promised $1,0O0. leaving $S, 900 to be obtained.
 The managers wish that this statement, without any special visit to them. would avail to induce the friends of this work for young women, whom they are in various ways teaching to be self supporting, to send to the treasurer, Mrs. B. M. Reed, 235 Orange street, checks wherewith tn e--' guish this burdensome dehs ~~Sin- We are glad t~ T.

The Current very truly says: It is better for city to be under the control of 6 ring of citizens who are bent upon reducing taxa tion and getting the largest benefit for the community out of the money spent on public works, than to be under the control of a ring bent upon enriching the indisiduals who compose the ring, at the expense of the com munity, and through methods which, called by their right names, would stamp those who work them as fit candidates for the pentien- tiary.

The citizens law and order league of Mas vention at Fremont temple, Boston, Febru- ary 22. The call says: The misery, pauper- ism, crime and increased taxation which the incorporate use of alcoholic drinks inficts upon the people of Massachusetts are we'll known to all. It is believed that all good citizens, without respect to their views re- garding legislation upon this subject, are agreed that the existing laws Of the State for the regulation of the liquor traffic should be obeyed by the dealers, in letter and in spirit The citizens law and order league of Massa- chusetts was organized for the sole purpose of securing obedience to these laws. The success which has attended these efforts thus far assures us that great good can be ac. eomplished in this line in all parts of the State. The league does not agitate the questions of prohibition or license; absti- hence or moderation; but seeks by legitimate and proper means to secure the enforcement of existing laws. All members of the league. all members of the branch leagues, members of all temperance societies and churches in the State, are especially invited to be present. Let assemble with determination to do so much as we are able to diminish the evils of intemperance with the agencies now at command. Sinking for the time all differen- ces, let us combine on a common platform, with determination to meet the organized law-breakers with a more powerful organiza- tton of law abiding citizens.

Have been cheaper this Winter than ever before, and it has been admitted on all hands that we have beaten all competi- tion to an extent not often possible in these days. We have sold more than double the quantity of blankets that we sold last Winter, and have almost closed out our very large stock. In fact we have been obliged to buy again lately certain makes. But we have number of odds and ends-a few pairs of this, that and the other lot-and in order to help out these we have reduced the prices on them, notwithstanding the fact that no one in town was selling them even as low as our former prices.

The speculators are all very blue, and with good reason, but the outlook for legitimate business is certainly more encouraging than it has been for some time past. Most of the leading trade centers note . marked improve ment in the condition of general trade. The dry goods trade shows early signs of g good spring movement. The iron trade is report ed as looking better than for some time past, and in New York the demand for pig has gained materially. Money continues in abundant supply at the leading cities both east and west and the banks are in excellent condition

Hereafter francs will not circulate in Italy nor lire in France, by official guarantee, the convention between the two countries having come to an end with the old year; but inas- much as the coins are identical in weight and value, it is almost certain that they will soon become interchangeable again by general agreement, if not by international decree. In Italy the mint has been very busy throughout the autumn, every bank has it's reeerve of gold and silver, paper money is at par, and the coinage of the late Pope, no longer legal tender, is at premium at the money changers.

The strike of window glass workers re- saylthat they are paying higher wages than any other trade in the country, and can make no profit until wages are reduced. As they can- not start without loss, and the men insist upon preferring idleness to work at the pro- posed reduction, the prospect is that the works will remain inac- tive. At the manufacturers meet. ing report was presented stating that the production this year is already 100000 to 500, 600 boxes less than the capacity of works in the country, the strike having stopped sixty-fve per cent. of the furnaces for four months. The usual "blast" or time of work ing each year is ten months. The annual consumption of American and foreign glass Is said to have been 2,600,0Oo boxes for the past six years. Since the strike the imports have increased, 12O, 900 boxes more having come in within six months than during the corresponding months last year.
 A lawsuit of great importance to travelling nois. A collision on the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific railroad near Cairo, Illinois, in August, 1882, smashed W. c.

He claims damages of $10O, ,OoO. The railroad company claim that the contract declared specifically that they were not considered common car riers, but as merely renting rolling stock and men to Coup, under whose direction they were to be for the time being. These are the conditions, 1t is stated, under which cir cuses are generally transported, and it is to fix the responsibility under such ciroum- stances that this suit is brought as test case Mir. Coup claims that his agent had no right to sign such 8 contract, and moreover that the contract was invalid, as against public policy, and so could not be executed.
