The Japanese are very polite people,
but they sometimes like to play a
Joke, in a roundabout Oriental way,
upon the men of the West. In the
days of the Second Empire, Baron
eros was sent to Japan to demand
the opening of certain ports to French
commerce. Among the rest he named
to the Japanese Ministers a certain
city. The Japanese functionaries
smiled so broadly when he preferred
the request that the French Ambassa-
dor asked him to tell him what gave
them SO much amusement; but instead
of answering, the japanese Ministers
said
W. will open the port in question,
my lord. If France in her turn Will
open a certain port to u.s."
"What port is that?" asked the
Frenchman.
"The port of Liverpool"
"But, your excellencies" Qaughing,)
Liverpool is not a French port, but
an English one"
"Yes," answered the japanese. "And
the port you named is no in Japan,
but in Corea."
The French Ambassador was ON
PEELED to admit that the joke was
against him.

A more painfully impressive scene is
impossible to imagine than that which
occurred in Paris yesterday, the occa-
sion being the public degradation and
expulsion from the army of Capt. Drey-
fus, who had been found guilty of trea-
son. In the presence of five thousand
troops the insignia of his rank was torn
from his uniform, his sword was bro
ken in two and the pieces cast at his
feet. and in the name Of the people of
France he was sent into imprisonment
for life. His protestations of innocence
were drowned by the rol Of the regi-
mental drums. The question Of his in
nocence or guilt is hotly discussed, and
the young officers degradation has
caused profound excitement through
out France.

AT THE WASHINGTON MON
JLAIBNT.
The Crank Meant to Push it Over Blu
was Persuaded not to.

Washington is the Mecca of eranks,
and the monument seems to be their
principal shrine Even the White
House is not so attractive to them as
the great white shaft 1t can be seen
for miles around and seems to attract
cranks as a candle does moths The
watchmen have become accustomed to
the gentry, and, as long as they appear
to be quiet and well-disposed, usually
deal gently with them, however wild
their ideas. One man they tell OF de-
clared that the monument was built
of human skulls and bones and per-
sisted in pointing out the faces of
friends in the stones but perhaps the
oldest specimen on record happened
down there the other day.
When the Waterman first observed
him he was leaning heavily against the
shaft, apparently pushing with all his
might--at least he would push for
awhile, and then he would walk
around to the other side, apparently
to see If there were any people there.
The Waterman watched this proceed
ing for while and then accosted
him:
BEG pardon; you aren't going to
push it over, are youp $500
Il could, il wanted to- responded
the man; then, with immense dignity:
''My name is Samson"
"0h, the strong nldn?" ventured the
Waterman, sizing up the man. who
was about five feet i've, and not APP
parently muscular. LET me see, you
were down at kernan's Theatre few
weeks ago, weren't youW
"No, sir" replied the man sternly.

pulling down the pillars OF the Temple.

expostulated the Waterman, mildly.
