Educated in America.

The Countess Oyana, wife of the jap
anese minister of war, is one of the few
ladies of the court circle at Toxic who
''receive" at their own homes in the ma
tive costume which European fashions
are so fast driving out OF the land of the
mikado. The countess prefers the COM
Portable and picturesque Japanese dress
to the foreign costumes which the court
has adopted, and this in spite of the fact
that she is one of the first Japanese
women educated In America, having
graduated at Vassar in 1882, the only
woman of her race who has received the
baccalaureate degree
StematZ Yamakawa, as she was known
before her marriage, spent about ten
years in this country, coming with the
Japanese embassy of 1872 and returning
so thoroughly Americanized that she had
almost forgotten her own language She
is remembered by her college mates as an
extremely attractive girl, pretty, even TO
American eyes, tall, graceful and well
formed. To return to her native country
was to her something OF an ordeal. She
came here girl of twelve, adopted the
Christian religion and the customs and
habits of Thought of western civilization
and went back u marriageable woman of
twenty-five, with the knowledge that her
parents would Immediately find hus-
band for her, very possibly one not at
all in sympathy with ner ideas
Fortunately, the chosen spouse was
Count Iwao Oyana, who was himself
educated in France, and as whose wife
she has taken immediate rank in social
and philanthropic circles in Toxic. Al
number of Japanese women have since
come to this country as students, and
several are here now. Miss Shige NaGai
entered the Vassar School of Music in
1878, and made love match with Lieu
tenant Uriu, of the Japanese navy, who
was educated by his government at our
Naval Academy at Annapolis, und first
m ct his piquant countrywoman at q Vas
sar fete, to which a number. of Annapolis
Youths were invited.
The wedding was agreed upon before
either returned home. One or the festivi-
ties attendant on the marriage in Toxic
was the amateur presentation of the
Merchant of Venice" before the court
and mikado. Miss Ume Tsuda studied at
the Archer Institute in Washington, and
is now teaching in Toxic in the Peeresses
School for Japanese Noblewoman.
Miss Kin Kato, who returned to Japan,
spent some time as q special student at
WELLESLEY. Miss Mana Kuroda Is in New
York making a special study of kinder
garten methods. One or two Japanese
girls have taken courses at the New
Haven and other training schools for
nurses, and one of the most industrious
students In the classes at the Art Stu
dents League at present is q bright
nd interesting JAPANESE girl. Japanese

for his services in securing charter for the

Blauvelt, was effected Oct. %, 1887. It is a
secret society. Its object is social improve
ment and excellence in dancing. 1t was first
placed under the leadership and instruction
of Prof. Snyder who is quite master in the
terpsichorean art. On March %, they were
incorporated under the laws of the State of
Ohio and received the first charter of a club
of this kind in the State. On April 9th they
gave grand ball in Donovan's hall. It was
preceded by a street parade by the Deshler

drawn by Lighthouses, each wearing blank

% The fight between Sherman and Fora
ker has become intensely bitter. Sherman
being the only Republican Senator from
Ohio, will have a potential voice in the ques-
ton of appointments, and he has announced
his determination to oppose any appointment
that is recommended by Foraker. When
Sherman talks this way he means what he
says. 1t must therefore be apparent that
Foraker will not have the slightest influence
with the administration, and all Republicans
who hope and expect appointments will shun
him as they would deadly enemy. This will
be extremely mortifying to the inflated bag
of wind at Columbus, and his Office holding
boiler plate newspaper puffers.- Wyandott

They have met their Waterloo,

.B Corporal Tanner, the new Commission
er of Pensions, started out with big head of
steam, calling upon Democratic officials in
his department to send in their designations,
but was arrested by Secretary Noble. With
in three days after entering on the discharge
of his official duties, the Corporal had asked
for the resignation of 1877 Democratic Off
C ials. One of the designations asked for was
that of Gen. Joseph B. Colt, who served the
Union with distinction in the war and carries
in his person consider able Confederate lead.
When he received Corporal Tanners letter
demanding his resignation he enclosed it in
a note to Secretary Noble, describing his
military record and calling for an investiga-
tion of his conduct as an officer of the pen.
sion bureau. Secretary Noble sent for him,
and from Gen. Colt received the information
of the wholesale slaughter that was going on
in the pension bureau. Then the Secretary
sent for the Commissioner, told him it would
not do, and issued an order forbidding any
body to call for designations without his
knowledge and consent. And so now the Cor
poral finds he is not as big tanner as he
thought he was. Tanner is nothing more
than a crank, who thinks himself bigger
man than old Grant. 1t will surprise US if he
retains his position long.

GAS WILL LAST.
An Experts Opinion Concerning the
Stability ofthe Natural Gas Supply.

An Experts Opinion Concerning the
Stability ofthe Natural Gas Supply.
Some people affect to believe that natural
gas will soon play out. and that the vast
sums Of money put into piping ventures will
be lost. In view Of this fact, the following
testimony of Mr.. John P. IIlsley, of Phila-
delphia, who was sent by New York and
Philadelphia capitalists to Western Pennsyl-
vania to investigate the natural gas question,
will be read with interest here, where the
new fuel is soon to be introduced.
"We hear Of the exhaustion Of the wells,
but in all cases brought to my notice. it was
where wells had been drilled in a small field,
"a Others sunk near them encountered water,
or where the pressure at first was light; but
in the fields described. where the drills en-
countered gas in first entering sandrock, and
from the great pressure, can not be put lower.
there seems every reason to expect IN abund-
ant supply to meet the requirements of all
that region of country for many years. What
Ia needed is greater economy in its use. For
when we consider that the gas, since its intro
duction, has been taken from fields of much
lower pressure than those now being drawn
from, and that it has been under greater
pressure than was necessary to give perfect
combustion-for now pressure of four
ounces per inch to small consumers and eight
ounces per inch to the larger manufacturers
is considered ample instead of the many
pounds under which manufacturers have been
wasting tive can at once infer that the large
territories just beginning to supply their gas
under the enormous pressure of 500 and 600
pounds per square inch should be able to keep
up the supply required by the Philadelphia
company for long time to come. There
fore, so far as that company is concerned. it
has to-day better supply of gas and under a
better pressure than it had three years ago,
and so on as it can define the boundaries of
the territories it now draws from it can de-
termine how much expenditure will be re-
quired annually to keep the supply up to the
demands of its customers. / can but think
that with increased receipts and diminish
ing expenses its days of greatest prosperity
are yet in the future.

In memory of Romany Green, only child of Sam
uel and Mary Green, who died April 7th, 1882 aged
10 months and 10 days.
This lovely bud, SO young, so fair,
Called hence by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet flower
In praadise would bloom;
Ere sin could harm sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opeHihg bud to Heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there.
A bud the Gardener gave us,
A pure and lovely child;
He gave it to our keeping,
To cherish undefled.
But Just as it was opening
To the glory of the day,
Down came the Heavenly Gardener,
And took our bud away.

Safe from the world temptation,

.BWhen Republican farmers purchase
their binding twine they will be forcibly re-
minded of the beauties of the protective tar
if, for which they voted last November. The
price has been advanced from one-third to
one-half more than it was last year, not be-
cause it cost more to manufacture the twine,
but because the manufacturers, who are pro-
tected by high tariff against foreign compe-
tition. have formed trust to control the
market and advance prices at will. If only
those who voted for the tariff taxes we're to
suffer by it, then it would not be so bad. But
the trouble is that those who oppose the tar
if ROBBERY have to suffer also. In the mean
time it will doubtless be of great qualification
to the Republican farmers to know that of
every dollar they pay for binding twine about
40 cents goes to the manufacturers, not as le-
gitimate profit, but as tribute which the tar
if law enables them to collect.

Constitutional Amendments.

The people Of Ohio will vote next fall OF
three propositions to amend the constitution
The most important Of these is the one which
gives the Legislature complete control Of the
subject Of taxation, the only restriction be-
ing that taxes shall be uniform on subjects
of the same class.
The second does away with the complicated
election system now in force, and, by read
jo stment of the terms Of public officers. re-
duces the elections TO one each year. the mu-
nicipal and township elections Occurring in
the November of one year and the State,
county and district elections in the November
of the succeeding year-the spring election
being abolished.
The third proposition is to establish single
Legislative districts, doing away with the
present county delegation system-each coun-
ty being guaranteed one representative and
the larger connties are cut up into separate
districts. Now there are several counties
which are not entitled to one representative
all the time and after the census of 1880 the
number would be much greater.

Dear Lizzie, we bid you adieu.
Through sorrow our hearts do swell,
And life Is lonely without you.
Dear Lizzie, now farewell.
Papa and mamma now will miss thee,
There will be one vacant chair;
Brother and sister, too, will miss thee,
We miss thee, Lizzie, everywhere.
Dearest Lizzie, We will miss thee,
Miss thee through the summer hours,
Now we never more shall see thee
Roaming mid the brightest flowers.
But we have the sweet assurance,
That thou art among the blest,
Where we all shall cease our troubling
And with thee will safely rest.
Now we part, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn,
We will meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
