Japanese Commerce.
NcS fork Telegram.

The kiyodo In lu, or Union steam ship company of Japan, IS constantly en- larging its fleet. and now has half dozen large steamers at present only run in the Japan seas, carrying passengers and freight. In shor, time they will go to Hong Kong and Shanghai, and as soon as the companys fleet, which IS to con- sist of about forty steamers, is completed, they will trade with this country. and possibly with Europe. Al .presen, the only other steamship line of Japan, be- sides the kiyodo In lu, Is the Mi,su Bishi steamship company. The latter runs 10 Hong kang and Shanghai. The klyodo n Nu line was started early last year for the purpose of developing the trade Of Japan. Not only the govern meni but also the Japanese merchants were interested, the former subscribing to hali of the capital stock, which Is IS GOO 900, and the latter to the other half. Mir. H. kirino, secretary of the Japanese consulate in this city. said to a 7eiegram reporter to-day; Many new steamers will soon be built by the kiyodo Un lu company This will be of great benefit to the United States as we'll as Japan. on account of the trade that will be developed. Our vessels are built on the same plag as American vessels. We have now large number of ship-build- ing yards. There are two yards at the capital of ,pan owned by private con oerns, one each in Kobe, Hakodati and Nagasaki, the open ports Of Japan, and the steamship yard in Yokosuka, owned by the government. At the latter place many vessels stop and make repairs. Our vessels arc now mostly manned by Japanese officers where formerly French officers were employed

One Meal a Day.

His re- searches m comparative anatomy had jed him to conclude that man, through custom, eats oftener than nature requires, one meal day being sufficient for tha, noble animal, the hon. He made the experiment on himself at his favori,e din- ng-house. and finding il successful he continued the following regimen for the above term of years: .it ! o'clock. his accustomed dinner hour, he entered Dol iy's ohop-house and took a seat al a table always reserved for him, on which were instantly placed silver ,ankard full of strong ale, bottle of port wine and a measure containing a quarter of a pint of brandy. The moment the waiter an- nounoed him the cook put a pound and half of rump steak on the gridlron. and on the table some delicate triiie. as bonne oouche. to serve until the steak vas ready. This delcacy was sometimes half a bFoiled chicken, sometimes a plate of nsh when he had eaten this he took d SiaSS oi HtS o'dhuy, anu then proCeeucd 10 devour his steak. We say devour. for he always ate as rapidly as If eating for a wager. When he had finished his mea, ne took the remainder of his brandy, hay ing during his dinner drank the tankard of ale and afterwards the bottle of port
 The doctor then adjourned to the Chap ter cofiee-house in paternoster row, and stayed while he slipped ;lass of brandy and water. !, was then his habit to take another at the London coffee house and i third at the Oxford, after which he re- turned to his house in Essex street, where he gave his lectures on chemistry. He made no other meal till his return next day al :, clock at Dolly's.

 Five or six days after returned in com pany with my father to the grave. The cross had become a little more yellow, but had remained in it's place. The nest, however, was empty not trace of the little ones was left. My father assured me that the male bird had carried them elsewhere. Indeed, at that very moment, only few steps from where we stood, the little male flew out of the bush, and my father forbore to fire at him, and I--I said to myself, "No no; papa is not bad

 HOPE AND LOVE.
nARRIEr A. soMERvlLLE.

Love and Hope sat by the moaning sea, And saw the sun rise clear and bright, Waves were drifting idly here and there, All tinted with the red sunlight. The noontide came. and smiling Love Sad: Wait, I'll come again 10 thee Ere night and so departed; Hope
 Remained alone beside the sea. And Love cried out across the deep, |" Fear not, soon shall be with you" Ills smile was like the morning beam, And hope-a woman-thought him true. And then his light bark disappeared,
 And lonely Hope the lea beach paced, And wrote her name upon the sand
 Her name the rising waves etacec. The evening came. d shining bark,
 With golden sails, ssepi to the shore Hope saw II from afar, and ran
 To grea, returning love once more. Bui shattered vas her rosy dream:
 A single glance sufhced 10 prove, That Riches sailed that jeaelled bark
 While Hope expectan, waited Love. A ond bark came sailing neal
 No sign of jewel, or Of gold Hope &-pt for Friendship sai.ed that boa,
 Loves pailid sister. oh.i and cold And morning bright returned, and still
 Hope stood upon the lonely shore tirr loy was dead any dream:

An Eccentric Family.


 Twenty years ago there lived in Bel grade. Me, large family, the father of which was very eccentric individual.
 There were nineteen children. They lived in big house, but one room of which was plasiered. The head of the family daily dealt ou: in stated amounts the food required by the family. The wife was an invalid. Many of the chill dren took peculiar, eccentric turns
 They nearly all had remarkably reteniive memories. Several were entirely carried away with reading. One would sit for twenty-four hours al a time. neither eat ing nor sleeping. perusing history and sacred writings. Although appearing idio,ic he could talk intelligently on al- most any subject. Another child was fascinated with literature of the dime novel character. Three of the boys were drowned a, once in a lake in Belgrade while gunning. One of the daughters. a little puny girl. died, and her father pro- cured coffin for her of dimensions suit able for man. One of the girls, now a woman pas, the prime of fife, Is in the insane asylum. One evening, recently, an Augusta lady, who twenty years ago was five years of age. and lived a neigh bor to the above family, visited the asy- lum. While moving abou, the fema ale patients she was as;onished to near her name spoken by one of the unfor,unates. That is you. -" said the patient 7" I should have known you by your father" Thus this woman, broken in intellect and shattered Tn health, recognized the lady whom she had not seen for twenty years and then only as hve-year-old girl But tive children ot this large family now remain alive

Topeka Saturday Lance.
 While Colonel lngersoll was in Kansas City last week. man named Nagra,h, s young lawyer of some local fame, ehal- lenged him to jointly discuss the various branches of reli gion, but the great pagan refused him the honor. IL may be strik- ingly wonderful that anybody living h snsas City could discuss religion, but Il IS no less wonderful tha, he should wan, 10 tackle Colonel lngersoll who has met as great jurist and lawyer as Jere Black upon the subject. and who at least held his own. IL reminds one strongly of the Christians during the supremacy of the Roman empire, who would openly and freely throw themselves into the iron hand of the law ,ha, they nigh, be exc eu.ed for their religion, and therefore be assured of salvation. There was no hope tor the Kansas City man in the discus sion, but he would have gained some slight personal fame. Aside from this view of the case, the question occurs. Why discuss the subject of religion in this way: There IS no danger of Colo nel lngersoll or anyone else topping Christianity from its foundation, nor IS there the slightest prospect of the church making the merest dent in the aTmor of the agnostics and infdels, so-called. For years, the discussion has been carried on with more or less fervor, and, although the greatest minds of the age have lent their weight to the controversy, the great, question still remains in siatu quo. IL Is something that there cannot be uni versal agreement opon, just the same as 1t IS with politics. There are men of equally great learning upon either side of the discussion, and arguments of equal strength are made by them. Religion is no longer sub]ec, for quafrels and bat ties, as in earlier ages. In this day and generation every man Is entitled to his views upon such matters, and Is not Tn duty bound 10 acoep: every challenge for public debate sen; him by whomsoever he displeases Tn entertaining hrs peculiar convictions

The Rous,about.
Ihe L tlrrrnI

RoustaboU; there may be elsewhere after their kinds. but the rous.about ot the Mississippi river steamboat Is he to whom. alone, the name rightly belongs. Whether he IS the outcome of certain conditions. growth of the humid atmos- phcte, a generation of the rivers muddy waters. or whether he just Is. and would be, independent of all these, cannot be known. He IS there. d part of the strange life of that strange land. The true hab- fiat oi the roustabout is the steamboat the great leviathans of the upper Missis- sippi and the Ohio the gorgeous palaces of the plantation trade; the lttle stern wheelers that, like as many turtles. creep along in the shallow tributaries where often one might wade for miles along the beds of the streams; or those tiny pro- pellers darting around the incessan, bends of sluggish blyous-bu, never on sailing vessel. Through the mysterious leading of affinity, obeying the vague die tates of natural selection or up from the eddying whirl of capricious circumstance. soon or late the levee's white crust IS left behind him, the deck of steamboat IS under his feet, and the hot but meaning less oaths of her volcanic mate are rain ing upon his indifferent head.

Performing thus. ihe ex- tremest drudgery of the vessels service, he seems a feature with which she may readily dispense, yet no part in theory or in practice, in the abstract or Tn the concrete, animate or lfeless-is more an indispensable factor than he.

rcsolntcly resisted all attempts To rrvolutonigc

facilities for transportation are moi calculated

Ing the casc they any that labor saving

famine IN its wake, and SINCE tho economic argu,'
mcnt Is reinforced Unpopular adherence of any
change which would disturb tho dead who are
buried all over the surface of the country, the
railway projectors have had no chance to OK
plot China. But in Japan the conditions are
very different. There both Government and
people are gwen to experiment and are
undeterred by any strong sentimental or
religious feelings. The Japanese have
tried railroads and find them bone-
fcil, and now they talk of extending
them all over the country. They mayin this
be not far from scrio Is mistake. Once al
ready, by tdup'IluS Will w cSJcTH Hnillclil
theories which they but dimly apprehended,
they got themselves into Il serious scrape. The
experience was, it is true, salutary, for 1t laugh
them the need of caution, but it did not prove
costly enough to stop their feverish mOyemc nts
toward what they think at prescntsthc higher
civilization.
Ifnow, however, they give Themselves up to
the allurements of the railroad protector and
prospectus. writer, and if they are simple
enough TO believe all the osc-colorcd predic-
tons of those people, the probability is that they
will find themselves ut the end of ten years sad
died with an enormous railroad debt, based
upon hypothetical commercial growth, and
representing, at least for tho time, only an in

some gimmcrings of sense in desiring to kcc p
control of the new lines if they ayc built, but it
would be better for Japan if her rulers first
made a cool and unbiased estimate of the stimu-
lating capacity of the projected roads before
building or allowing them to DO built No
doubt Japan will have to 90 through hor rail
road era, like all other countries, but there Is no
reason why she shonld not profit by the mis-
takes of her predecessors in this field, aud thus
save herself probably much loss and suffering.
One or two trunk lines to begin with would be
quite as much as she could manage, and when
they had become established and had developed
traffic enough to make them profitable it would
be time enough to extend the system. Japan,

Democratic ideas of Civil Service reform are
getting illustrated quite rapidly. In q recent
speech Mr. Hendricks, the Vice President elect,
much to the disgust Of all refOrmers, proceeded
to explain his profound contempt for the system
of selection by examination. 1t was to be
expected that he would disgust the reformers,
because during the recent canvass he was con
tinually talking about throwing out an hundred
thousand cc-holders, more or less, in order
TO get a look at the books" On the other
hand Senator PendctOn, who was slaughtered
by his party in Ohio because of his participa-
ticn in this Same reform, takes occasion TO
explain his position and seeks to put himself in
line with his party again. The essence OF his
explanation is that the reform was, after all
sham that the Civil Service act affects only
about ii, COO Office holders, and that the 10000
or more who remain are In no way protected by
II. and can of course be removed to make way
for Democrats. Mr. Pcndleton, 1t will be re-
