A Complete Opening.

A visit to the extensive store rooms Of
L. Wolfson reveals the fact that this es-
tablishment has been completely filled
with new stock Of fall and winter
goods, in all the departments through
out. The beauty and elegance In de-
signs, patterns and shades, are all sight
of beauty to the eye. while artistic ar
rangements show taste and culture In
choice of color. The clothing depart
ment, to which special attention Is con-
stantly had, by a corps Of skilled sales
men, Is one Of the most completely filed
in every way as to habilliments for gen.
tlemen, and contains in all grades, even
to the most fastidious, all sizes In suits
or single pieces. Special mention in
this department is justly due to fine
assortment Of walking and dress suits,
in connection, and to which is added a
large and select stock Of fine and stylish
overcoats Of the latest patterns.
Another item in the house is the select
assortment of hats from the most fash
ionable and stylish; among the latter of
which Is the elegant Stetson hat,
the Eureka" In fancy and dress
head wear, In all shades now
In vogue, and which, In itself, forms a
complete assortment while the whole
ensemble would do credit to any good
sized hat store.
The gentlemen's furnishing goods
found in Wolfson's can not be excelled
In either quantity or quality and include
all styles and sizes In silks. merinos and
other materials in pure white or oolors,
bleached or unbleached, and special
mention is made to the large assortment
in sizes of suits in heavy silk and wool
for winter wear. Gentlemen wishing
to obtain fine outfits for any calling in
life can not do better than to call on
Mr.. Wolfson and examine the extensive
emporium of everything needed In O
gentleman's toilet. They will find 1t to
their interest In the end, as his prices
| can not be beaten by anyone. l0-2-tf

A View Of Nagasaki.

At length we neared Nagasaki, and
caught the glimpse of a place the like
of which exists only in fairy dreams.
Huge islands crowned with foliage rose
on every hand. We threaded our way
through labyrinth of tiny mountains,
shooting here, and there. and every
where out of the deep blue waters
Away in the background stood long
ranges OF grand hills All round US
the sea bore on its bosom smaller emf
nences topped with trees. We were
ever and anon losing ourselves in the
multitude of islets, and still only COM
ing into more and more beautiful situ-
atlons. All around US the place was
full of historical interest. On yonder
hills score or two years ago had the
Japanese barred the passage of for
eigners and hurled forth menaces too
real to be disregarded. Here on our
left was q sharp cliff sprin9ing out of
the water, and called Pappenburg,
from the top of which only Il few years
ago native Christians were hurled by
infuriated dolaters-brought out in
boats from Nagasaki, made to mount
the winding path on the rock, and then
thrown over and dashed to pieces be-
cause they hesitated to believe that a
painted image which they could buy
for 2 pence was capable of protecting
them here and hereafter. Straight in
front came gradually into view the
point OF land where the Dutch settlers
for two hundred years lived, Desima,
where they trampled on the cross in
order to preserve their commercial
rights, and whence they one day nearly
all went, TO make way for a robuster
race of men known rs the English.
| There it was, this much praised Ma
gasaki harbor, not one bit overdraWn;
without doubt the brightest spot in
the universe, picture made without
hands, bearing the impress alone of
the hand OF the Almighty. On every
side were little coves and bays filled
with curious junks, different some
what in shape from the Chinese craft,
and lined with funny little houses filled
with fl ,hermen and their families.
The water was alive with boats. Away
on the shore stood Nagasaki, lying ut
| the foot of semicircle of high hills,
nesting from the wind, u sight for the
admiration of all who love the pictur-
esque and beautiful. Nearer inspec-
tion showed Nagasaki to consist of
three parts-the European quarter, the
native, and the semi-civlized part,
once occupied by the Dutch, These three
settlements, so to speak, all lay close
to the waters edge. Behind them,
climbing up the hills, are many tenn
Piles. Japanese tea-houses, and resi-
dences of notable persons, while there
are dwellings perched on the very tops
of the peaks, looking down on the bay
like eagles regarding seascape from
a rock-point. London Telegraph.

Is aging Painful?

A correspondent of the Pail Mall Ga
zette writes: Some years ago there had
been an execution at Liverpool, and,
as usual, it had been the talk of the
country side. In rural district among
a group of farm laborers sheltcring in
a barn on wet day, one of them eX-
pressed desire to learn what hanging
was like. His companions at once said:
'sWell, Tom, we will hang thee. and
then thou can tell us what it is like"
"All right" said Tom, chang away"
A cart rope and a stool was soon pro-
vided, and Tom was tied to q beam
and the stool kicked from under him.
The body swung and heaved for some
time; the surrounding men laughed I'M
til poor Tom turned black in the face,
upon observing which some of them
thought it time 10 take the poor fellow
down. When placed upon the floor he
lay apparently dead, to the awakened
terror of his companions. They, how
ever, got water and used such means
as they could to restore life. After
considerable interval poor soft Tom be-
gan to revive, and at last he sat up and
stared wildly about him. Then one OF
his companions said: 'Well, Tom, how
did thee like hanging?" "Hey, man,
said Tom, with a stammer, 'hanging's
nothing. It's coming to life again that
is terrible" This is probably the true
definition of hanging. There may be
life after the drop, but no conscious
| feeling; and, as criminals are not
brought to life after hanging there has
been no conscious suffering.
Another correspondent of the same
paper writes: The following facts, as
related to me by late distinguished
officer who died high in rank in her
majesty's service, may be of some pub
lie interest. Many years ago, when a
fag at public school, he was ordered
by his master to get his silk stockings
ready for an evening party; but unfor-
tunately only one could be found. Vain
were the excuses offered by the poor
little fag; his master in a rage threw
the silk stocking around his neck and
suspended him in the air a sufficient
time to produce unconsciousness, and
| to make it doubtful matter if vitality
could be again restored. He therefore
experienced all the sensations of being
hung, but he suffered no pain and used
| to say he had no recollection of any
thing happening to him from the mo-
ment the stocking was thrown around
his neck until he felt life returning.
In answer to this another cOrrespon-
dent writes: There is death by hanging;
and it may be merciful enough. But
what is that to which we give the same
nameP 1t is simply clumsy and un-
certain method of producing fracture
of the spinal column. And if it fail
as too often it does-what then? If
death be not instantaneous, if there be
but few seconds delay, what must be
the torture endured after that fearful
wrench? S0Aat the agony resulting
from suspension by the torn musclesP

The Divinity That Hedges About q
Mix ado.

The Sd of November is the birthday
of the present Mikado, and l had the
good fortune to be here in Yokohama
on that occasion. 1t is not now es-
teemed Il rare honor to see the Mikado
here, and the event. unless it occurs on
some festival day, creates but little eX-
element. | cannot help contrasting
all this with the seclusion enforced
scarcely more than decade ago, when
no subject could ever hope to look up
on his sovereign unless he ministered
to him in the capacity of an immediate
servant; when the very chinaware from
which the Mikado ate his meals was
destroyed in order that no mortal might
obtain possession of it, and use it for
his own unhallowed purposes. Japan
has receded, OF rather advanced, a
long way from those days of punctil-
ious etiquette, and no one ought to be
more thankful for this than the Mikado
himself Bv this do not mean that
the Mikado ming!es with his people in
anything like the sense that Presi-
dent of the United States does; but he
goes and comes in superior, isolated
way as he pleases, and on certain set
days of the year exhibits himself to the
populace under circumstances of spec
ial ceremony. Chief of these, perhaps,
is his own birthday, when he reviews
the imperial troops at Toxic. Then he
dons his most magnificent robes, sur
rounds himself with an unusual dis.
play of japanese royalty, and invites
the foreign representatives 10 be pres
ent as his guests. In thus graciousIy
permitting his subjects to survey his
royal person the Mikado does not sur
render his claim upon the reveren: ial
regard of his people. He simply defers
to the quality of royal liberty which
prevails among most civilized nations.
/ He still expects and receives a nominal
homage that is almost servile. | sup
pose Shintooism was made to supplant
! Buddhism as the State religion, in Or
der TO bolster up imperial authority,
among other things, so us to counteract
any unfavorable results of this roval
exposure. According to the philoso-
phv of this religion the Mikado is of
divine ancestry, and, therefore, cannot
err. 1t is significant fact however,
that the Mikado is as careful and con-
servatiye in his official conduct as
/ though his authority was contingent
wholly upon the exercise of worldly
wisdom on his part In other words,
though he is still an absolute monarch,
these sixteen years of his administra-
ton have built up a public sentiment
which he is bound to respect, and
which none of his predecessors had to
deal with. The while, therefore, that
he has the reputation of being iber-
al, well-disposed sovereign, there is in
everything substratum of policy and
cunning, born of consciousness on his
part that there are some things which
be dare not do.
