The japanese retire very early, as
rule, because their lamps and fires
are so cheerless; yet nocturnal
hucksters keep up their horrible
cries till long after midnight. They
know from experience that it is just
like the japanese to wake up at any
hour of the night and take notion
that they want a certain article.
The list of articles disposed of in
the streets at these unearthly hours
is almost unlimited. Besides this,
every man has peculiar method of
pronouncing the name of the article
he has to offer for sale, so that no
two retailers of the same article
speak alike. The object in this is
to identify each man with a totally
distinct cry, so that his regular
customers may know of his APP
proach and wait to patronize him.
Thus perfect pandemonium of al
together dissimilar noises is created.
Japanese admit that the words are
distorted beyond the remotest re-
semblance to their originals in the
effort to establish an unmistakable
cry.
According to the N. Y. Tribune,
Mr.. Blaine's book is in such demand
that it is with difficulty that printing
house and bindery are keeping up
with it. The author is already Wig
orously at work upon the second
volume, which promises to be even
more valuable than the first. Per-
haps the liveliest testimony to the
merits of this unique historical work
is the fact that through the most
fiery of modern political campaigns
it has escaped all attack. Its candor,
its accuracy, its strict impartiality,
and its strong and brilliant style have
disarmed and won to admiration
even the bitterest of its authors
critics. 1t is having sale extraor-
binary in the history of subscription
books, and the profits both of author
and publisher have been great.
Two Irishmen were heard the

politics. The election of Cleveland
has / believe been conceded for some
time, and even the Democrats have
ceased explaining to one another how
it was done. Those two voters were
evidently reciting the details Of the
glorious victory to one another, and
finally they came to the Rum, Ro-
manism and Rebellion of the ing!o or
ious Burchard. ''Sure an it's
