Conybeare's Loathsome Dungeon.

A London cable special to the Philadelphia
Press says: IAN effort was made in parliament
this week to secure the transfer of Mr.. Cony-
beare from Londonderry Jail to better quar-
ters Conybeare, who represented a division
OF Cornwall in parliament is undergoing q
sentence OF six months in the Londonderry
Jail for participating in the plan
OF campaign. Of which he has served
two months already. He has been afflicted
with disease contracted in his celk and he is
covered with vermin; still he will make no ap-
peal for relief, and his colleagues in parliament
are obliged to interfere on his behalf, against
his will, in debate.
Upon Conybeare's removal las. evening.
Balfour said in reply to questions from the
Irish members, that he had no idea
how Conybeare became afflicted, but supposed
the last occupant of the cell must have left
the parasites. When Balfour was asked who
was the last occupant Of the cell he responded
Father McFadden, piece of gratuitous black
guardlsm, since the Jail has been crowded
all the summer, and the Gweedore
priest. who is gentleman of high culture and
breeding, was released in May. Balfour has
promised, however, to have the Jail inspected

JAPANESE AND CHINESE

In recent work on Japan by
Prof. James A. Chaplin, of st. Law
renee University, lately issued from
the press of Putnam & Sons, New
York, we have the authors views re-
garding the japanese in contrast
with the Chinese, founded on his
observations while in Japan. They
are decidedly in favor of the
Chinese. But it may be that the
Chinese whom he met in Japan were
men who had had special education
and training for the vocations which
they filled, and for this only the
most accomplished would be select
ed for service in a foreign country.
The general opinion is that the jap
anese possess superior abilities to
their neighbors, and on this account
the views of Prof. Chaplin will possess
interest. We quote from page 62,
so much as refers to this subject:
"The Japanese, as rule, are not the
most steady and sober minded people.
They are mercurial in disposition, fond
of novelties and given to change. In
this they differ widely from their neigh
bors, the Chinese, who are the most
staid and persevering of all the Asiatics.
This fact quite puzzles the American on
his first introduction to Japan. Almost
all positions of trust and responsibility in
hotels, banks and mercantile houses,
kept by foreigners, are held by Chinese
and this through no special love for
Cinnamon certainly, but, as it is said,
they are more reliable and can be trusted
further to attend strictly to the duties
assigned them. The attitude OF the
average Japanese and Chinese toward
each other is rather amusing than other
wise. They both claim to be of heavenly
origin, but each assumes to be superior
to the other. The Japanese disdains
comparison with the Chinaman and the
Cinnamon holds the Japanese in con-
tempt.
"Still, the Japanese are most inter-
esting people. They secure the good
will of those who travel among them by
their hospitality, their courtesy and
kindness, while their enterprise and
ambition commend them to every we'll
wisher OF his race. The changes wrought
within a generation command the admi-
ration and excite the wonder of the
world. The like has not been witnessed
before in the history of nations. In
making the most radical changes with
the least disorder, Japan takes the

GOOD CHEER.

The gayest month of the year has
been ushered in, when everybody,
rich or poor, man, woman or child,
expects some holiday gift or keep
sake. 1t is a pleasant custom, which
ought to be kept up to cheer us vain
mortals through life's pilgrimage.
There have probably never been so
many and so valuable attractions in
troduced as the present season. The
stores are putting on their gayest
holiday attire of everything orna-
mental and useful for old and
young, and probably more money
will be spent this year than in any
previous one, at least it looks so.
Everybody looks to the newspapers
for the news in the holiday line, and
happy is the storekeeper who can
point to list of his attractive wares
gold, silver, curios, silks and dress
es of every color, shade and price
portrayed in the daily or weekly
issue. The boys and girls, the pas and
mas, all read the "ads." these days
before they read the locals and mar
riages. It is wonderful help to
know just where to go to find just
what we all wanted, and so fresh and
new and nice. In this way, and for
the holidays, it pays hundred per
cent. to spread your wares out on a
clean, white page where all can see
and discuss their virtues. Don't be
afraid, for we have plenty of room,
and, if necessary, will issue double
or a triple sheet. Many merchant
can tell you how his holiday trade
paid off his note coming due early
in the year, and how 1t all came
about with a little judicious adver-
tising at the right time and in the
right way, SO that the sales in the
last week swelled up to the thous-
ands, SO unexpectedly, too, it was a
Christmas surprise and pledge of
a happy New Year

terfered with the whaling industry-the
blubber he ate and the bone he traded
with the ships-but it was not long be-
fore he discovered that whalebone was
highly priced by the white man, and
that the Indian could get anything he
asked for in exchange. A great compe-
tition arose for the trade among the
ships and traders, and the Indian soon
learned to ask for more than the bone
was actually worth in the market. and
obtain the bone. Consequently the ma
tives were soon supplied with every
thing their hearts could desire. They
became insolent, and seeing that bone
could buy anything, and that they were
at disadvantage with the white man in
whaling, they began to ask for bombs,
guns, bomb lances and harpoons. These
were readily given them in exchange for
their whalebone by the thoughtless
whalemen. Then they wanted whale
boats and complete equipments. Soon
the natives were supplied all along the
coast from Cape Behring to Point Bar
row with the whalemen's equipments,
which they were not slow in learning to
use. This year there were over 800
bombs fired from along the shore and
only eight whales were caught by the
natives. II this thing continues 1t will
soon result in the total determination of
the whales in the north.
Captain Kelly also spoke of the infa-
nous traffic in rum which has been in
troduced in the Arctic by renegade white
men and INSCRIPTIONS whalers to wrest
from the Indian by lawless means his
bone and ivory, and to stimulate him in
the slaughter of whales. The natives,
he said, have learned to manufacture
rum, or, as they call it, hoochenoo, from
-four and molasses, until now nearly
every other Indian has his private still.

ARCTIC WHALING.

The whalers who had returned to
San Francisco report very small
catch of oil and bone, only about
sixty or seventy whales having been
captured by the entire fleet of
twenty-five ships. This was up to
about October 1st. Some of the later
ships may report better luck for
themselves, but on the whole it has
been poor season. Captain Kelly,
in an interview with a reporter of
the Chronicle, stated:
Perhaps the most serious cause of the
failure of late years is that the demand
for and increasing prices of whalebone
has brought into competition a force
hitherto despised. This consists of the
Indians living along the coast of the
Arctic seas. A few years ago the Indians
was catching few whales in his primi-
tive way. What he took in no way in
