Fitzhugh Lee and a brigade of Virginia militia are expected to enlist for the national mili tary encampment near Philadelphia this summer, ami other Southerners may be on hand. A Norwegian named Johnston is on his way from l’enzauce to New York, alone, In a small canvas-decked boat, and hopes to cross the ocean Balely, and will start out into the Atlantic from (Queenstown to-day, if his heart does not fail him. The complaint is made that the North in artists almost invariably represent Confederate soldiers as haviug long hair. These artists evidently saw very few Con federate soldiers. Few soldiers on either side wore long hair when it could be avoided. The bioody-shirt cranks appear to he rather plentiful in Ohio just now, and are trying to work the Grand Armies of the Republic up to a fever beat before the State campaign fairly opens. They are not meeting with much success to speak of so tar. Just as the announcement was received that there was to be no more gambling in Chicago, came the news that thieves had tore down and stolen a whole two-story brick house in that city. This looked a little like straining out a gnat and swal lowing a camel. The Omaha salnoDist who bought Mr. Rutherford B. Hayes’ houses has named ais place of business the “Hayes Saloon.” This is probably more tbnn the great ex fraud can stand, and he will probably have the irreverent Omaha man enjoined as soon as possible. Judge Allen, of Boston, proposes to stop the lawyers from brow-beating and bull dozing witnesses in his court. It will not, probably, be many years before law yers will not be allowed to treat witnesses wish insolence and discourtesy anywhere. This practice is not as common now as it was a lew years ago. If the troops out in Arizotia and New Mexico were as successful in catching the Indian warriors as they are in corraling squaws and papooses, the settlers in those territories would rest a good deal better. Tnere is notning that encourages the In dian assassin so nnu-h as to Know that the government is taking good care of the;r women and children while they them selves ate on the war path. An attempt was made in Etowah coun ty, Ala., the other night, by some twenty negroes to exorcise the devil out of a woman who was accused of witchcraft. ?je was tied up and beaten until she was supposed to be dead, and her bouse was set on fir.'. She came to and escaped, however, ana has had a number of her as tailants arrested. Since her escape the negroes are more than convinced that sh is in league with the evil one. Tiicrc hss been a great deal written lately with reference to the future of the negro in thin country, but nothing that has appeared in print on this subject hue attracted more attention than the views of Bon. Robert Toombs, which were printed in the Atlauta Journal a duy or two ago. He oolves the negro problem u IKtlo differently than others who hive attempted its solution. He says tut tho negro is uncducatioaable and is dyiufo.it. The fallowing is an extract from h's t:i!k: ‘lt is the plainest thing In • mi .'.til d.o out. Ho is dying rut lien. i ii.uv 1 ought to understand the coitus. 1 have studied enough. 1 toll you that it is Vicing lulsely inter preted ty certain people in this country, Tho.negro is dying out us u race; he is bound to die out. That is what will be come of him. It is tho history of all in ferior races, nnd hero is the broad distinc tion. The negro race is a scrub race: the white race is a thoroughbred race. In time the scrubs are bound to die out, but t',e thorough hreda live on to procreate the spades, it ( a a ]aw of Goi and cannot change.’* Two Specimens. Thus far the public prints have contain ed the reasons given by two Republican officials for resigning their offices, and it is safe to say that neither of them occupies so high a position in the estimation of either Democrats or Repub licans as they did beiore they resigned. They undertook to make their tollovv- ! citizens think that they were influenced : by high and praiseworthy motives. The ! truth appears to be that they are both demagogues and lack the honest manli ness that commands universal respect. One of these Republican officials is R. Root, and he held the office of Marshal of the Southern district of lowa. Mr. Root wrote to the President a letter in which he tendered his resignation, and stated as a reason for resigning that the Dem ocrats, having worked hard for success and hav ing been successful, ought to have the offices. It was very nice of Mr. Root, of course, to want the Democrats to enjoy the fruits of their victory, but is it a fact that he resigned for the reason that he al leged? The truth is that Mr. Root had been elected to another and a better office, and it is fair to presume that he resigned the office of Marshal to accept it. His letter to the President was published and commented on. It was said that he had set a manly example, which other Republican officials would do well to follow. But, in fact, did he pur sue a manly course? Would he have re signed if he had not got a better office? It is highly probable that he would not. The chances are that he would have stayed until removed, and that he would have whimpered like a whipped boy aud have loaded the air with complaints. He would even have attempted doubt less to prevent the confirmation of his successor. If he is really the straightfor ward sort of a man that he tried to make out he would have resigned before he secured a better office, and he would have been modest about it. He wouldn't have paraded his act before the public and asked his fellow citizens to admire him. The other Pecksniff is A. F. Howard, who was Collector of Customs at Ports mouth. N. H. The facts in his case were stated in our dispatches yesterday. He resigned because, as be alleged, he was such a radical Republican that he couldn’t think of holding an office under a Democratic administration. There is some satisfaction in knowing that the truth generally struggles to the surface. This man Howard, it 6eems, resigned not because he has any objection to serving under a Democratic administration, but because he was paid to resign. In ex change for his resignation he was given a business that was much more profitable than the office he held, and yet he had the cheek to attempt to deceive the public and to try to make capital with his party by a fraudulent pretense. Well, If there are many more patriots like them among the Republican officials, the President cannot too soon “turn the rascals out.” The Future of Sugar. The sugar growers ot this country who have survived the disasters of the past few years and are yet in the business ap pear to have passed the crisis and to have a promising future before them. The neet. sugar growers of Europe appear to be no longer dangerous competitors, and the sorghum-sugar interests have not attained to the position and importance that the many enthusiasts on the subject thought they would. The idea that both beet and sorghum sugar could be produced at a much less cost than cane sugar is now an exploded one. While the above is true, there is no likehool that sugar production wiil ex perience anything like an undue stimulus in this country. There has been an ad vance in price, but it is not so great as to cause much excitement in the market, and there is no promise of any very con siderable advance in price in the near future. It is believed, however, that the period of depression is safclv passed— more safely because of the improbability that sugar will become a favorite article of speculation. The bulls and the bears do not appear to be as fond of sugar as they are of stocks, bonds, cotton, wheat, oil, etc. This fact makes it pretty certain that the demand for sugar is, and will continue to be, genuine and healthy. There is no probability that people will rush blindly into sugar planting as they did into cotton planting just after the war. The probable margin of profit is not great enough to tempt them to do that. It is probable, though, it no further misfortune overtakes the sugar interests that the sugar production of the country will now gradually, If not rapidly, increase, and the sugar territory will be considerably extended in the near future. There is many times as much sugar con sumed in this country as there is pro duced here, and hence there is no danger of over production. This being the it might be well for the planters of Florida and Southern Georgia to begin to consider the propriety of devoting more attention to the cultivation ot the sugar cane. It will doubtless be in great demaud for seed during the next two or three years, and after that, when the sections of country adapted to it arc well stocked with seed, there is reason to believe that the produe. tion of sugar will become a popular and profitable industry in sections of the South Where it is now almost unknown. New Hauipshiie is a small State, but it is the scene of a very large light for the 1 hited States Sonatorsbip. Blair, Chand ler and Rollins are in a triangular con test that grows more interesting every day. Tho electiou takes place next Tues day week. It is said that Blair has the inside track in the Republican caucus, but that his wiley antagonists thick they will be able to break him down in a few dav*. It seems that all three of the can didates are threatening to tell aomc dam aging truths on each other. Henry Clews has on. oiled himself as one of the 100 patriots willing to give $250 towards completing the Liberty pedestal. The Wall street sharks do not take much stock in the Liberty business. Only two or three of them are on the list so far. Probably a good many of them, however, will be willing alter awhile to pose as patriots If it cun bo done at tsueh a small cost. There are already Indications that Gen. Logan's premature Presidential boom will come to an early end. The Logan tide will doubtless ebb from this time out. Most people have sense enough to see that “his splendid victory** was due alone to an uccldont and to unexampled trickery. SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1885. The Cluverius Case. There is no reason to think that the motion for anew trial in the Cluverius cise will be granted. It is not expected, probably, by the defense that it will be. The court exercised the greatest care in its rulings, aud it is hardly probable that additional argument will occasion a change in its opinion on any material point. It remains to be seen what the higher court will do. for the case will be carried to the bigbesteourtof the State, of course, on the exceptions which were noted dur ing the trial. Tuere mfcy have been an error committed somewhere in the long and tedious trial that may be deemed suf ficient to justify anew trial. No other criminal case in many years in Virginia has excited so much and so general interest as this Cluverius case. The crime for which Cluverius has been convicted was a peculiarly atrocious one. The jury say that he ruined his sweet heart, who was his cousin, and that he then murdered her when the result of their illicit love could no longer be con cealed. It seems strange that a mao brought up under refining influences, and having the advantages of a good education and ex cellent religious training, oould be guilty of such a cold-blooded murder. There is some little excuse for the man who, in the heat of passion, stains his hands in hu man blood, but there is none where the ! foul crime of murder is deliberately planned, and the pretense of love or i friendship is kept up until the moment i for the execution ot the awful deed ar rives. If the theory of the State in the Cluverius case is right Cluverius main tained the attitude of a lover until he was ready to rob Lillian Madison of her life at the Richmond reservoir. He began to put into execution his hor rible purpose even while he spoke words of love and called to his victim’s face the smile of confidence. The Ward Indictment. The prospect that Ferdinand Ward will soon be tried for the part he took In wrecking the Marine Bank is very prom, ising. Ward is now in Ludlow street jail, in default of $500,000 bail, on a charge of having cheated the late City Chamber lain Tappan out of that sum by inducing him to invest in the fraudulent firm of Grant & Ward. The charge in the indictment against. Ward is that he went into the Marine Bank, without the permission of the bank officers, and carried off securities of the face value of $1,000,000, and of the market value of $400,000. An effort will be made to have Ward locked up in the Tombs. He is having too many comforts, it is thought, in Lud low street jail. In the Tombs he will have a taste of prison life. If he should be convicted for the crime with which he is now charged, he would in all probability be sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. The attorneys ot James D. Fish, the convicted President ot the wrecked bank, are making extraordinary efforts to se cure anew trial for him. They will leave no means untried to accomplish their pur pose. There appears to be a difference of opinion whether Fish and AYard have saved much from the financial storm which overtook them. They appear to have plenty of money to pay for the luxu ries which they have, and to meet the de mands of their lawyers. There are many who believe that they 6aw the disaster which threatened them soon enough to provide for themselves handsomely They are two bad men, and it is probably the wish of honest New York business inen that a prison shall be their abiding place lor the next 10 or 15 years. The Epidemic in Spain. At last it is officially announced that the disease that is prevailing in the pro vince of Valencia, Spain, is cholera, and that it is epidemic. The Spanish authori ties either did not believe the disease to be cholera, or they hoped to check it with out permitting its real character to be come known. It was a mistake, of course, to attempt to conceal the nature of the sickness if it were known, because however great the means taken to prevent its spread it was not probable that they would prove effec tive. The people would not be as careful as if they knew- their danger. The existence of cholera in Spain shows that the disease is not yet stamped out in Europe, as it w as hoped that it was when its progress in Paris was arrested. The greatest care ought to he exercised in guarding against its introduction into this country. Doubtless the health officers of the ports and the officers of the Marine Hospital Service have made what they think are ample preparations for protec tion. There is something occurring all the time, however, to show that the greatest vigilance is necessary. A day or two ago the Surgeon General of the Marine Hospi tal Service w as compelled to take steps to prevent the sale ol mattresses in the city of Baltimore which had been thrown overboard by European steamers at the quarantine station, and which had tieeu picked up and brought to the city. The mattresses had been thrown away tie cause they had been used by Immigrants who had been sick with some kind of fever. The fact that they were picked up and offered for sale in the city shows that for gain there are those In Baltimore, and, perhaps, in every other city In the country, who are ready to eudunger the puolio health. The flnanclu! condition of Greece is ruther discouraging. It is a small coun try, with a one-horso King, hut it has a large deficit In its annual budget. King George will need during the present year 1,00i1,000 drachmas more tnan there Is reason to believe will he received into tho treasury. A drachma is about 10.il cents, or about the price of a goad cocktail in that country. It seems that the scarcity f drachmas Is not due t > the purchase of drams, however, hut to a falling off iu tho national revenues, produced by a general depression in business and productive In dustries. Greece eannot now, as lu ancient times, call out the militia and rob a neighboring country every time it gets a little short of cash, and hence it would like to sell a few bonds at lil>erul prices.

Some of the purists insist that we should say ‘aidekong’ and ’revaya.’ I wrote to Grant, Sherman and Sheridan’as lo army usage on these points. They all agree that in this case we should say aide-de-camp and revalee. They aiso agree that in England as well as in France it is usage to say aidecong.

Inside Bistory of Some Koyal Gifts. From London Truth. Princess Beatrice has been presented with a set of silver candelabra as the wedding gift ot the Queen's household. The manner in which these official "gifts” are extracted is highly diverting, except to the donors, who will be heartily glad that there can be no more royal weddings for some considerable period. Such presents are purchased by com pulsory contributions from the members of the household, for they are demanded in such a way that nobody dares refuse to subscribe an adequate amount. The whole thing is so thoroughly a matter of routine that I believe the. functionary who collects the funds is en titled to retain a percentage on the amount obtained. He Met His Match. From the San Francisco Argonaut. The Rev. Dr. Ritchie, of Edinburgh, though a very clever man, once met his match. When examining a student as to the classes heat tended he said: “I understand you attend the class for mathematics?” "Yes.” "How many sides has a circle?” “Two.” said the student. “Indeed! What are they?” What a laugh m the court the studeui’s answer produced when he promptly said; “An inside and an outside.” The doctor next inquired: "And you attend the moral philosophy class also?” "Yes.” "Well, you doubtless heard lectures on various subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause aiid effect?” “A’es.” "Does an effect ever go before a cause?” “A'es.” “Giveme au instance.” "A barrow wheeled by a man.” The doctor hastily sat down and proposed no more questions. An Impudent Plea. From the Hour. The movements of royalty are pretty faith fully recorded as a rule, especiallv those of the Prince ot Wales. Occasionally, in fact, "his royal nibbs” must be inclined to resent the very close fashion in which certain English reporters dog his footsteps. With all their persistence, however, the scribes who record the deeds of the heir apparent have omitted one kind action, one pleasant little excursion on the part of the Prince which is worth re cording. The circumstance came out merely by accident. An Irish laundress, by name Deborah Hayes, was charged at the Clerkenwell Police Court, London, with being drunk and disorderly in Cow Cross street. Smithlield. The merrv old virgin admitted the soft impeachment, but in her defense said: “1 was in a public house drinking half a pint of beer when the,Prince of Wales came in and asked me wha t I’d have to drink, so I had some more, and that's bow it happened.” This impudent plea did not save the woman from the consequences of her folly. She had to pay a fine of five (Mailings and costs, with the alternative of “doiDg” a period in the mansions of the blest. Tile Broncho Died Happy, From the Denver Hews. Bill Parker, a well known mining man of Colorado, tells a story about a horse which he says is true. Several years ago he bought a buckskin broncho in the Utc Agency from an Indian for a quart of whisky and shipped it to Leadville. About a month afterward he went to Leadville. and one day thought he would take a ride. He put a saddle on the brute’s bact and cinched the animal up in the manner that all meek-eyed bronchos are cinched aud jumped astride. Bill savs he felt himself rising in the air, the broncho sticking to him; then he felt a shock, and re membered nothing more until he was fished out of the Arkansas river. The animal liad run away aud thrown him over an embank ment 30 feet high. A w eek or so afterwards one of Bill's friends wanted to go prospecting, and Mr. Parker very generously plaoi and tiie broncho at his dis posal. The result was that man and horse were picked up at the foot of a 60-foot preci pice—the man with a broken leg, and the horse tightly wedged in between two rocks, but little hurt. A number of ambitious miners then attemped to conquer the vicious brute, but no one e\er succeeded in staying on his hack. Finally some of the men in the camp became disgusted. They secured the bucking broncho, put a saddle on him, aud lashed a iog of wood on his back. The last seen of him he was crossing the range, at tempting to get rid of the log by rubbing it agaiust the sky. A week later the heroic huoker was found dead at the foot of a preci pice 300 feet high. He was rid of the log, how ever, nor could it ’be fonnd. and Bill savs there was a look of perfect rc-ignation on the animal's face as if he had died contented. How the Chicago Catcher Was Discov ered. From the Chicago Tribune. The following story is told upon “Always There” Sutcliffe, the good-looking and effec tive young catcheroi theChicagoteam: Some time about the middle of last season Alison. Williamson, and a lot of the billiardists of the Chicago team were playing pyramid pool in the Lake City when Sutcliffe appeared among them. He was then a tall, ungainly-looking lad of bucolic appearance, and whoD he asked for a ball it was given to him in about the same manner that a three-rar.l-monte player gives one the tip and then fleeces the holder. In this case, however, Sutcliffe refused to be taken in. He beat the Chicago* at their own f'ame, and made such an impression that all lauds ejaculated: “You're quite a pool player." “Yes.” the rural youth drawled in reply; “but that ain’t my game, all the e.imec.” “It ain't” said Anaou. “Well, what is, then?” "Why, base ball,” said Sutclifl'e. Then he told tne boys w hat a catcher he was, and just to get even they asked him over to the ball grounds. Reaching there, they sent him behind the hat, and then ordered Goldsmith and L’ocorau to go in and kill him. They wore their orms out trying, and, what was worse. Sutcliffe refused to wear a mask, and merely smiled when told that a fly tip might hit him in the jaw and break it, or knock out an eye, or something else; and his whole demeanor was such that Anson deter mined lo engage turn instanter. He asked Sutcliffe how much pay he wanted, and the Utter replied that $1 a day would be about the right thing. Later hi salary was raised, and now. like plenty of other professionals, he rates bis services at a fancy figure. The Fatal Stats Department From the Cleveland header. Tho Stute Department, which at the begin ning of our gorernment was looked upon as the stepping stone lo the Presidency, became later on singularly fatal to the ambitions of almost every man who look charge of It. and Its possession in many cases has been the fore runner of disaster, disease and death. Up shur. one of Tyler's Secretaries of State, was blown up on the Princeton while lie was in office, and Hugh S. Legare, the secretary of Slate who preceded Upshur, died at Boston at the celebration of the Hunker Hill monu ment, which he was attending with the Presi dent In his capacity ss Secretary.

A. Steman, ofjlaltimore, has in his yard a fence post that 1) says has been in use up wards of five yors, and this spring for the first time it h commenced to sprout, and there are overnO young branches now out, varying in lentil from those just emerging through the olijbark to 18 inches long. The post seems to h of the willow-leaf or pin-oak variety. I James an engineer on the Long Island Railrod, has been in very poor health for some time The usual remedies failed to relieve him. He said he felt something gnaw ing in ihe H>maeh. A powerful medicine was given /im, when eight small crabs, known as ftyilere, came from him, and he is now as wclits ever, it is supposed that he swallowedpe fiddlers with oysters. A CoroJEr’s jury in Lincolnshire, Eng land, receily returned the following verdict: “AA’e findjhat William Fisher came to his death by is own hand, accidentally, and by no other eans, being at the moment engaged in the un wful pursuit of game in the dead of the tiij t, and not having the fear of God before h i tyes, having received a mortal gun shot wou rl in his left side, of Which wound he did insta tly die.” Acuri ?s quarrel is being waged between the Pari an newspaper publishers and the venders 1 the kiosques or news-stands, who receive lilf a cent commission on a three cent nape, with the privilege of returning unsold co(es. The dealers now lend a paper fora centpn condition that it shall be re turned in g>od order at a certain time, and then send i back to the publisher as “unsold.” Result—tbecom mission of the newsdealer is doubled, tho-eader saves two cents, and the publisher sels no papers. A New Ask temperance society which has taken to colfecting statistics reports that last year there here 19 Congressional nominating conventions ji that city held in saloons. Out qf a total of ;.002 political meetings held dur ing the Prudential campaign, 683 were held in salons, aud many others next door to saloms. All parties, including tbe Republicansiud three fac ions of Democrats, indulge in fiis reprehensible practice, show ing that whiky and New York polities are as naturally ailed as ducks and water. An immefe shoal of flsli lately went ashore on the santy beach of Kona, Hawaii. The children reprded them as a kind of godsend, and began o eagerly gather them up for home consumptijn. The gray-headed native vete rans, howrter. shook their heads in supersti tious horrff and ordered the children to dc-iet, rememberbg a tradition of earlier times, before Gaft. James Cook entered the harbor with the Resolution. The tradition was to the effect that the landing of a shoal of fish por tended the death of an Alii, or native chief. Nevertheless tic children ate them. Niagara haikmen will be none the less numerous or inuudent by reason of the new order of things hat is to go into effect there next month. Tie State will take charge of the grounds aboit the falls, but it will not take control of tie village, wherein lies the hackmen’s powei. There are 100 hackmen, each of whom controls not only his own but from one to ten ither votes. The result is that the hackmen tontrol the town, and any trustee who shows a disposition to compel them to be moderately civil to visitor* and other people can be quietly shelved. This has beeu the condition of tungs for years past, and is likely to be in the future, a move lor a new village charter, n vhich sitting trustees would be given more power, having recently been defeated by the sane hackmen element that has for so long mtde the town a com munity of organized swindlers. While excavating be bed for anew and larger gasometer at Donfries (Scotland) gas works, the contractoi came upon a bed of peat, in which were enbedded the trunk of a Scotch fir, six feet ii height with the bark upon it; pieces of rim, oak and hazel, with nuts and cones, briken antlers and various coleopterous reniabs. In a quantity of the moss placed unde glass the cranberry aud oilier plants have tegun to germinate after a sleep of centuries. The spot, which is now in the heart of the twn, is supposed to have formed part of thebed of a lock in prehistoric times, and three enturies ago a railldam was constructed at tie place, which was then a morass. The bet of conglomerate on which the peat and otler top layers rest has been found to contain urge fragments of red grsn itc, a rock whiebis not known to exist in the immediate viciaity. The province of New Brunswick has anew law, directed atainst the practice of camprrs. to whose thoughtless unconcern many de structive conflagrations have been due. It is ordered that e;ry por.-on who, between May 1 and Dec. 1. nay start a fire in or near a forest, for thepurposeof cooking or obtaining warmth, shall select a place in which there is the smallest quantity of vege able matter, dead wood, branches, brush wood, dry leaves, or resinous trees; shall clear the place by removing ail combustibles from the soil within a radius of five feet from the fire, aud shall exerciss every reasonable precaution to prevent the (re from spreading, and carefully extinguish t(e same before quitting the place. Any person vhothrows down a burning sub stance or dscharges a firearm within any forest shall be subject to punishment if he omits to extinguish the embers before leaving the spot. John Estsn Cooke, of Virginia, has made a searching nvestigation of the Pocahontas matter, aud he is satisfied, from all the evi dence to be bad. that Smith was captured by a party of Indians in 1607 and carried to the Indian capital on York river, where Pow hatan ordered him to be slain. Pocahontas interfered t save him. She took Smith’s head in her arms, so that it was impossible to beat out his brains without hitting her. Powhatan consented to spare the prisoner, ami treated him kindly. Afterward Smith released some Indian prisoners, stating that it was for the sake of Pocahontas. He told his friends m Jamestown that Pocahootashad saved his life. In a letter to Queen Anne he said lie would be guilty of the "deadly poi-on of ingratitude" if he forgot the goodness of Pocahontas. In several letters he gave to this girl credit for his rescue rrora death. It was on this account that Pocahontas was flatter ingly received at the English court. After her marriage to Knife she was baptized, and lived “civilly aud lovingly with her hus band.” The State Geologist of New Jersey gives the following directions for making a cheap but excellent filter for purifying drinking water: It is the bottle filter, and is made by “tying a string wet with turpeutine around the bottom of a quart bottle and breaking out the bottom. Tins is done by lighting the string, and when the flame has encircled the bottle, dipping it in cold water. Layers of fine cotton batting n ust then be placed in the bottle until a wad is collected that rests on the shoulders of the bottle and over its neck. Now dissolve a cup of alum in hot water and pour th<- solution into a cup of cold water Tills makes a filtering subetauce. I use alum because it I* the only thing which will preci pitate all the impurities of ibe water to the bottom. For every gallon of water that i de sired to purify, add a teaspocnfnl of tiie filter ing fluid and stir it until every panicle of the anlmnleultp is precipitated. This usually takes about (Ire minutes. Then run vour gal lon of water time treated througu the filter, and you will have your water free from all impurities.” There arc three political parties in Japan, the two most prominent being the Juito, favoring a republic, and the Konkento. favor ing the empire. The latter party Is In favor of keeping all titles as they are at present, and the Juito party wishes them done away with altogether. The third party, Kaishmto, is opposed lo everything connected with tho present government, and want* a government modeled lifter European and American idea*. The fight IH-tween the Konkenlos and the Juito* has been very bitter for ninny years, but tbe Kmikeutos have obtained the upper hand, and some of the prominent Julios are non In prison or abroad. The church lias but little iiower Hi affairs of State. Thu principal beliefs arc the Shinto, or original religion of Japan; Buddhism, which came from China HO i or 1,000 years ago, and the Christian be liefs, introduced early In the sorenieenth cen tury. Of the latter belief* the Roman C'atho lie* had the ascendancy for a century or more, but after tbe religious war of Amnkusa thev were largely driven outof the empire, most nr them taking refuge on Amakusa Island. During the last twenty year* the other Christian denominations, as Congregational, Unitarian, Episcopal, Baptist amt Methodist, hare built many churr.hes and obtained ■ strong foothold in the empire. Of the de nomlnatlens mentioned! the Congregational seems to be the most popular. _ jjyan’rft. WANTED, a colored boy to attend V > horse and to wait ou the table.
