Tie Ntw York Tribune has a duzen editors. The result is, one of tho very best newt papers in the world. We have it rayed some distance from the London Timet, but the subject suggested these reflections, and we thought it a tit lima to express them. Let in aay, hi conclusion, to tlio ponplo of any Iowd, or city, or Suite, that if liny wish lu make their papers what they ought (o he, and what ihey might be, they mnit extend such patrunago us will enable them to employ tho requisite forco. Any thing short of this may move along fairly, and possibly do well, but the chances are that it will not come up to the expectations of iotelli gent minds. And no man, who lu.a a proper concep tion of theio matters, has a right to expect that one editor can fill all thc8upisti in a proper manner. It is utterly out of tho question. Toe moral of all which is, that daily papers should only be started where there it snllicient business and patronage to sustain tho in, uud ilml if the people (ie aire the beat article, tltoy must expect to pay so that it can bo nfiurded to litem. lu a now work," Siuuterings about London, hy Mv Sritr.RsiNorn. some extracts from which we find copied iu the Home Journal, wo loam n-mo cnrimi things in relation to ihe editorial department of the London Timet, the great journal uf Europe. No paper in tho world is miimg'fl with mure care mul cnusum-mil" net oi-d ability. Every leading article is fully 'considered in council, and all its eweniial featurns ore ilcb'jted and decided upon, in advance. Tho writer ays that two gen tie in en of great ability, whose mimes nro not given, hold a session evory dny, and as questions of interest arise, they are taken up and debat( d. MasflziiMfj nd Libraries nre consulted. Tho fuels that it is advisable to embody are copied. Notes of points to bo made nro prepared, and the eniiro sldl:-toti of the leader for tho next dny, is then carefully nreed upon. These are then enclosed in an envelope, and, by a special arit -out to a writor, who, from the nkteh and outlines, proceeds at once to prepare the nrlicie. Th-i tone of every thing is fixed hy llio edit-on, and thi only duty of iho writers is, to cany out n ml eouvey in proper Ian-jingo the creat leading idns Ihat. nro thus placed before them. The writor adds: "The lending article writers liavo tho programme f their nrUi les -ut to their recpectivo domn its. None but lliH editors know who tlioe gentleman nre, mid whit tti"ir position in life is. They nev-r, except on Ktiraordiiitiry occasions, come to llio Tint otl'ii-n.

If the writer teases In aeree with the tfindeoiMos ol the Timtt, he is always ut hh ritf to brenk ntV the connection ; but in long as that connection continues, he is compelled to submit llio form of his articles to tho critical verdict of tho editors."We have no dotibt ot the great tfl'iciency of this sya-lorn. It secures the two great ends of deliberation in shaping the design and tone of leading articles, and cam in clothing the ideas in apt and proper order, to give them their full force and significance. No p.iper con reach the top-notch of excellence, that cannot adopt some pUn to mike suro these groat ends. It is impossible Tor the editor of a daily paper, who is compelled to prepare oil tho mattor for its various de pirtments, tu do full justice to any of them, lie goes io his nhV.o in the morning, and finds on his desk a variety of letters that require immediate attention. Those upon business b' send to the clerk, but many of them require his personal sttontton, a id mint not bo postponed. Ho finds on his table a lurge pile of oxehongo papers, tint are fresh, and require elimination. He must look into tham, and either nss ihe scissors, or take the pn and condense tho items of news and interest, that come under his eye. The last i lecture or concert must bo noticed. An important item or two, by telegraph, must be commented upon. If tho Legislature is in session, something must be said nbout iheirproceoiJings. At the same time, a question like the Nebraska territorial hill, or tho Pacific lt iil road comes tip, and hemuit go upon record, concerning them. The editor of a daily paper is regarded hy tho good people in the rural districts as something of a lion, and when they emtio to town they desire to rail ot the sanctum ami see how he looks. Very likely they have never seen the workings of a lare printing olllce, and the editor, who happens to receive the visit just as ho has set down to write a " leader," must exercise the common politeness to gratify their curiosity, nod must toko them through all tho departments, from tho composition room at tho top, to the steam engine in the cellar, ntul explain the various uses of each item in detail. I'erlnps the foreman by tho time he ge's round, is nut of copy, and tho editor must plunge into hi) subjnot with desperate energy. If ho is fortu note enough to bo uninterrupted lor ten minute, he will work olT a side of foolscap manuscript, hut ns IhAfJrvif isnt his elbow waiting for copy, ho sends it off without reading it over tho second timu, with nil its sins and imperlections on its lioad. Tt is after ten o'clock, nnd tho paper must go to press by 3 1 M, The h'idor must be fitdihed, tlm lecture miut be noticed, the teleraj h Items must he commented upon, tho ext'hiuge ppiis must be culled and tcutortd, and nil these must b put through before noon. Now. doet miy sum man suppose thit, under such circumstances, tho editor who has all these dep irt nvMits to lill, cm doauy thing like joatice to himself or til ' subjects upon which ho attempts to write f of courss he can do no such tiling. And yet two thirds of the daily papers of the country are nude u p in joat this sort of style. Instead of wondering that ihey are so inaccurate, nnd imperfect, lite great wonder should be that they ore an good. Hut, says tho reader, why don't you nrrnngn matters dillVreutly t Why don't youhavo some one employed to write tho lexlers who is not liablo to all these in-terriiptious T Why don't you have nun one employ) d to localize and notice the concerts and lectures f ard why don't you hivo snmo one to look over the ex chorions, and pick up tho stray news, &c. All this would be very nice and very desirable, hut all this would cot a Urge amount of money, nnd there are very few papors, especially in tho west,thatcan nlford to employ this atnouut of force. Wo havo had some experience in these mittrra, nutl think wo are prepared to say what ought to be, in CINCINNATI. 8incothequeenly cily, Ciucinnali.lins becomoa near neighbor id ours, we feel n more lively interest in what ever concerns her welfare, whother in wealth or repu taiion. Hence we havo observed with deep regret on several occasions of late, evidences of a spirit of in-nubordinniiou among the inhabitants of that growing town. This is a really to be deprecated, because the inevitable tendency of these things is to the subversion of all law, and the overthrow of social order- It is the resolving of society into its original elements, whun a scramble for power ensues, and reason and justice aro dethroned, ntid brute furco assumes ihe place of law. A few weeks since, a personage called Hr.niNi.and denominated " The Pope't Nuncio" made his appearance in Cincinnati. Nuw, to us unsophisticated Amer ictiiis, thero whs nothing alarming or justly ufirtiiiivciu this, provided tho suid individual demeaned himselfin a peacmble and respectful manner. True, we were not before apprized lhat the I'opo maintained such a functionary nor are we now fully oware uf the duties assigned him, nor r the nectsMiy of Ihe Tope sending any ngenf of his nmong us at all. Wo had supposed that tho Pontifical interests everywhere wore aufli-eiently represented in the learning of tho clergy ami tho zoitl of the po plo attached to that tatih. But if tho Pope deems it neres-ary to send out an agent, and to call that agent his " Nuncio "why, then let him do so; and let all thine who nre without luith iu the in-tegt ity nuil honor of ihe Pope, his clergy, or his " Nun cio," keep a t-harp look out for their acts ami let reason combat their craft, if they ilml! resort to cmft. Not so, however, in Cincinnati. A largo body of people, calling themselves " Kroemen.'Mianded tugeih-er, to give p-ihlic demonstration of their abhorre nroof die Nuncio," mid of tho cause he represents; and they nelectt-d for this purpose tho evening of a Sunday an if ihi-nby to testify not merely their antipathy for the Pope and Ira agent, but also tlh ir contempt for the Christian Sihlxith. They proceeded in large numbers, and with significant displny, until ilm police, apprehensive of u distuibance of tho public peace, inter posed, and iu their misdirected efforts to disperse tho crowd, uu uiiuHWiding man was killed. This gave rise to further excitement, and while an investigaii n was going forward as to the conduct of tho police, a largo body of theio " Freemen boiug an association of persons of foreign birlll resolved to carry nut their giual plan, ot luuat bo far ns to mako manifest their disliko (or the Popo nod his Nuncio.

Our ciiy lust night wus i lie scene of great excitement.

A full si.ed t-tl'y of lifiJini wis prepared; tho fiuro wus dressrd iu bluck ponliticiul rohes, und homo un an elevnted platform by six or eiht men. The procession stnrteil, and paradbg through varl ous si re wis, soon rapidly accumuluied iu numbers. In the front was cjrried a traiminreiicy having three unlet to it. tin one side, "1'iuli in," on another, "Down with Uediui," ami on Ihuoiher. "No Poiierv." Another transparency was curri d, but owing to the dense crowd, we were uimtiie to decipher the inicrlji FRATTD! FORQERY! 1-ABTOtTNDINO DI8CL0-6URK8 I ! DEMOCRACY IN A SIEWIM A few days since we copied from lhoi9(. Louit Dem ocrat an article from tho pen of AnKLAnD Guthrii, in ; which that gentleman or that Democrat, as the case may be, our neighbors may decide charged some naughty actsupon our friend and favorite, Col. Geohor Washikuton Mantpeknt, now of the Indian Bureau. And omoug other matters, this Hon. Abslaro Guthrii published, and we copied, what purports to be an extract from page 731 of the Journal of ihe Ohio House of Representatives, of date March 22, 1837. Wo were prompted to this course, as we then remarked, with a view to forward tho claims of tho Indian Commission er to an election to the United States Senate. Of Ad- lard Guthrie we have no knowledge, except lhat he is a " Democrat," and as such claiusaseat in Congress as a Democratic Delegate from tho Territory of Nebraska and this being tho esse, his assaults upon Ool. Manypemny wore just of "no " and in the very kindness of our hearts, we endeavored to turn them to account by placing them in a Whig chmnel. Our neighbor of the Democrat pounces upon our kindly cfl'ort, and endeavors to break its force. We do not know who among tho perspiring Democrats is the favorite of that print for the Senate, and think it not unlikely that at least l alf tho number consider themselves in that enviable position. Neither should we care how ho bos to wed his preference, so be did not interfere with our own; but he is down upon Aiielakp, and says " he has not improved his character for veracity since he loft this State for a residence among the Indians of Nebraska Territory." He is dotcn upon the Niuouri Democrat, calling it " a factious sheet publish ed in St. Louis." Now, we are not to be diverted hy Iheae side issues. He denounces tho publication of Guthrie as a forgery, because "neither tlio Speaker of ihe House of Representatives or tho Clerk, ever sign tho reports of a committee." This curious and equivocal special plea, led us to look at tho pago of the House Journal referred Io by Mr. Guthrik, and there we find the report from which the extract was derived, charging "culpable neglect " upon Auditor Hiitan f ir permitting Man tpinnt to draw the money, (f 1112 40,) without a voucher ; and upon the said Manypkmnt, in that saM account "must have been knowingly twice presented and tho pay received. This fact would never havo been discovered, or tho money ro paid, (add llio commilleo,) hud there not havo been a thorough examination of tho bonks nnd vouchers." These nre tho simple facts, as set forth by ihe com mittee, whose names are signed to llio report. Tlm Democrat may claim, for ought wo know, that father CkKswxm., of Columbian a, nud G. W. Hor.MK, of Hamilton, ore ' faetiout Dcmocraft," and thus ond'-avor to deprive Col. Mantpknnt of the benefit of their statement. ut that emtio cannot win; because nei- (hor Gov. Ford, mr Jam kg G. Jammon, or Stacy Tat-t.on aro iu that category. And besides, it is not Col OuKfiwxi.i. or Mr. Hoi.mks, nor their Democracy that are on trial, but the facts embodied in tho report bearing their signatures, and made part nnd parcel of tho legisUlivo Malory of the State. 1 hero atumis tb record, speaking for itself, and Col. Manyi'knny ami his friends are entitled to its benefit and as such we claim it. Wo look forward up .n the Journal to pago 717, and thero find ns follows: "Auditor nr State's Office, Columbia, 174 March, mi. " Cor.. S- CllItwr.r.L, Chairman Com. of Invtttigation, fyc. "Sir Geo.

Ckh well and Holmes are the oidy " pemocn ts" who signed tho indictment. The present Cleik of the Semite hnd not then commenced uelcntive operations; hut fr m recent showing, we havo confidence that he will tnke good care for himself, whether as Clerk of tho Senate or otherwise. THE E0SZTA RESOLUTIONS AND MR. BROWN. Mr. Dunkv, ilm ablest of the Ohio Loco foe o delega tiou iu Congress, h is taken ground against irmny of the important dixtrines of Marcy's letter to Hulsemann on the KofTi casu. This shows at least independence, ns it has been the general hsbit of lhat party to glorify that letter us almoit equal to the resolutions of The followii.g exlruct from n letter to llio Cin cinnati Gazette, (torn Washington, gives some interest ing particulars of these matters that are worthy of consideration. The conduct of Mr. Brown has bet n very much misrepresented, as is evident from tho te marks of Mr. Tayi.uk, and moro especially of Mr. Uati.ey, who is Chairmau of tho committee of Foreign Allaire in the House, and a decided Lucofuco: In the House to-duy, the K 5Z'i resolutions were agiin spiritedly discussed, and Mr. Disney rnado an ahle and pertinent speech, reviewing Mr. Secretary Marcy's much lauded letter iu reference to this matter, dissenting wholly and entirely from ma y of its positions, and charging an attempt tu interpolate new principles aud ductriutis into the recognized law of nations. Tho speech, in substance, was decidedly good, hut Mr. Disney'a manner and emnciatiun wus bad he shaken his head with ponderous significance, inces snntly, and without reference to " rhyme or reason," and a theatrical sonorous articulation, overwhelms his words with touud. During tho dobito, the question was nsked, "Ud not Ciijit. Iiiruham act under tho especial instructions mid directions of nur charge, or Dragoman, Mr. IJrown?" Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, mwo ami said that ho did so act, and that ho bad seen the papert proving it, nutl iher doro a member from Tun ' uessuo put the Important interrogatory, ''Why, iheu, are not iho thanks ami medal a-vanb d to Brown, the principal, instead of Ingraham, the agent?" This question occasioned marked xenaa'ion, and Mr. Ilatley, the Chairman of Foreign Affairs, bord leave loan swer it; aid ubtuintu the floor, ho tiaid it wtift true tint Oapt. Jurabm acted , in all he did, under the instructions and directions of Mr. Itrown.dtiit Ihe reason why the Committee hud hot proposed Ihe giving ol thanks and a medal to him instead of Ingndnon, was, "lhat Mr. Down could bo promoted in his ollicinl position, (and h intended ho should he,) and that Ca t.

Dudlky A.

Hut, very soon af'erward, tie made a speech in which lio lunpoouetl vSecretary Marcy, and, by this stop brought down upon his head the wrath of. the Democracy. The Tribune, and papers of tlmt class havo been very patronizing toward the trirb generally, und to Mitciim.I. specially. He his just started n now paper called tlie "Citizen," aud in the second number of it, ho avows himself a most decided pro-slavery man. Mr. Hauohton, a merchant of Dub lin, and a devoted Abolttioiii-t, tins been publishing a letter nd dressed to Thomas F. Mkauheh, in which is tlm following, utnoiig other exhortations: Is liberty toss the right of tho black man than of ! tho whitom in f If it bo so, provo it. Ite! consistent, then, nnd white you aro in a land of slave-1 drivers, sanction not their denial of civil and so -hi rights io tho colored people by your silence, or you 1 will become a participator in these wrongs " To which tho "Citizen," Mitchell's piper, responds in tho following very emphatic, and decisive language: " But what right has tin gentleman to expect Thomas Francis M'-agtier. or the others whom ho has named, to take up his wearisome song which they always refused losing at home? Now, let us try lo satisfy our pertinacious friend, if possible:, by a little plain English. Wo ar not Abolitionists, no more Abolitionists than Moses, or Socrates, or Jeans Christ, Wo deny that it is a crime, or a wrung, or even a peccadillo, to hold slaves, to buy slivn, to ell slaves, to keep stives to iheir worn hy ll 'gfing or other nedtll coercion. "By your silence," savs Mr, Houghton, " you will become a participator in thoir wrong."

So, Mitchell gts no quarters from that side. Wc know not what to think of him. It is decidedly out of character for him to avow th?Bo Bontiments, especially as he is appealing tu America, in behalf of the oppressed In Ireland. He Is either very short sighted, or very independent, perhaps ii touch of both. lUtsccllam).

Ihey wero forced upon my oin-rvahon ri'her than sought i ut hy me; and the; present, to my mind, m leant, a touehiiijr idetnro of lb. bii'er confl ct industrious poverty is somedmes called 'ipon, in the srent city of London, to ivoge witli"lhe moiiaanu natural shocks which ll-h is heir to. It must now be eight or nine wirs since, in traversing a certain street, which runs for nearly Imlt a mile in a direct line southward, I tint encountered Ellen . She was th'di n fair voting trirl of seventeen, rather aove llie riiidillo size, nnd with a queen like air and gait whirii made her n;pe ir inner than sue really wms. Her countenance, imlo but heaphy, und of a perfectly regular anil cl isdc mould, whs charming to look upon ffom its uiiilehnablo expression of loveableness nnd aweet temper. Her linv feet tripped noiselessly along tho Mvement, and a glance from her black eye sometimes met mtiio like mv of light, us, puncludly at twenty minutes to nine, wo passed each other near Hiitjsf each ot us on our way io ti'H ih-atro ot our daily operations. Sho was an efiibrtiideress, as I soon discovered fr m a small s'ifchitis frame, couinining sme iinritii.ihed work, which shn occaxiouaily c irried in her hand. Sho set mo a worthy exnuip'o of puno-t'lulity, and I ctaild ntiydny have told tho time to a minute without lo king nt my watch by marking Iho spot whore wo passed each other. I learned to look tor her regularly, and before I know her name, hud given her that of " Minerva," iu acknowledgement nf tier efficiency as a Mentor. A your alter tho commencement of our acquaintance, which hover ripened into speech happening to sot out from homo one morning a quarter of au hour boforo my ubihI time, I mtido ihe pleasing discovery th;t mv juvenilo Mire-rvi had a younger sister, if possible still moro bumttiliil than herself. The pair was inking nn affectionate leave of each other tit tho crossing ot tho New Ho id, and the silver nceon's of the younner an, kisdng her eis-er, sho latiched out, "Good bye, Ellen." guo mo the first information of the real name ol my pretty Mentor. The little Mary for so wus ihn younger called, who ootiUl n it be more than eleven years of age was a slender, frolicsome silph, widi a "kin of iho purest enrnntion, nnd a fnco like that of Sir Joshua's soraph in tho National Gillery, but with larger orbs nnd lonicr lashes sbndins lijein. As sho dune d anil leaped boforo nm cm her wuy homo again, I could not nut auintro uio natural ease ami groco ol every motion, nor fail to comprehend and sympathize with Ihe anxious looks of the sitter's only parent, their widowed mother, who stood watching the return of tin younger darlieg. at tho door of a very humble two story dwelling, in the vicinity ol ihe Now uiver I h-nd. Nearly two years pasted nway. durin;( which, with the exception of Sundays and liolydays.overy recurring morning brought mo lire grateful ihouiih inumentury visiou ot one or hotn or the ctiartniog ulsters, iti-n ctiim nn additional pleasure I met 'hem Uah together every d iy. Tho younger hid coiinnenccd practicing the sumo delicate aud iueni.ius cmft of embroidery, ami iho two pursued their industry in company under the same employer. It was amusing to mark the tie mure assumption of womanhood darkening tlm brows of ilio mtIhI linle sprite, an, with nil the new b -rn oouseqiietiro of reBpnufibility, shu w Iked soberly by her sister's si lo, frame in hind, nml occasionally re-vn'ilfd to pass rs by a briil glimpse of her many colored bund i oik They wero Uio very picture of beauty and iiuppiu"ss, and hppy In-yond tpiention miM their ooioiuui nvea Hi'-a oenii lor many piiOSTin mouuiB. But soon the shadows of caro b.-an to sto d over their hilhorto j-ivuus faces, and trnces of anxiety, perhaps tt tears, to ho too plainly visible on their naliui' cheeks, All at once 1 miased them iu my morning's walk, and lor several days it might bo weeks saw i.oihing of them. I wns at length startled from my forgeifulnesa of their very existence by thostiddtti apparition id hot I ono Mood iy morning, dnd iu Iho deepest mourning. I saw the truth at once : the mother, who, I hnd remark d, was prema'urely o!d uud feeble, wus g' no, and thu two orplnn children were left t bittlo it wiih the world. My cm lecture wni tlio truth, us a netghtior ol vhom I undo some muuiries on the subject was not slow to inform nn.

They had lived there for yenrs, staring nt tho world with bir:-o round wondering eyes, but mingling no more with it than was n ceKsnry; their experience of it mado them hermits. u, ns would occa-ioimlly happen, they ventured into the eutilight, they wore bdud.d nnd bewildered with tho glare, bull'eti d and insulted by Ihn smaller bird, vim mado gamn of them. And mi Ihr-y secluded themselves in iheir mossy solitude, nnd lived there in plump, cosy, downy contentment. A few worms nnd mice sufficed for food ; nutl for alVa-lion, ouch sufficed to each. One ntiiht n Hawk, nn old ncquninlnnco of their childhood, flow into their neat. Tho meeting was cordial with tho remitim-eiices t f youth. They inlked of old times till the dawn was gi uy, und tho twitler of tho smaller bitds roe sharp into the morning nir. They marvelled, indeed, to see how young llio Hawk looked, with his bright restless eye, his slim legs, nnd barred pbtmipo, like I bono of a piy ynung bachelor, lie told them it was belauso in- It red. And then ho duz.led the old Owl with spdkliug narratives ol tho outer world, nud raised alruego longings iu his breanl to seo something of tho varied fount of lifo so eloquently desciihrd. " Wherever I have ventured out bv dny tigbt," said tho Owl, "the oila-r birds have mocked me: so, think ing I was out of my proper sphere, 1 relumed to my home." " That is becauso y(,u have not boldly taken your position," replied Uii Hawk. "In the world you must take what you want no one gives. When I mako n;y appeuranco you should see how the bitds rush to ihe neon st wood ami thicket, giving vent to Iheir scandalized terror in various cries ! " ' Do Ihey never fiy nficr you? " " S meliuiee; but that u only when I have got ono of them in niy tulonrt. Corning here this afternoon, I carried ulf the wi o of n ne st respectable partridge," said tho Hawk, wiili a libertine shake of the head. "I wauled her, mid so I took hor. Tho whole covey followid me, making nu uproar iii;o a village of out rayed women; ihey Untight I wanted her for my strnlto. Not I I ale her." A-t Iho (lawk said this, tin old 01 looked ol him wiih envy and respect; but his wd'o " shuddered, "nnd nought tho Hawk would lie a bid rtimpauiiin for her ord. Sho was uNid when he flow aw-iv. and devout ly wished ho w.mld never fulfil his promise of" looking in upon Ihem " some tine d iy. Tho words ol th" temp'er dwelt in ihe old Owl's mind. Ho wm moody, tauiiini, abstracted. Visions of the gay life led hy tl iwks tormented him. The rum wi,re no mj p nt so in uty happy years seemed now a monotonous primm; mice nml worms seemed now n monotonous regirm-u ; his old wife " twaddled,' ho thought; nud he hiiuse l felt old, ns he thought how much younger a -erued his lii-iid. Tho Hawk had fiee n to Cmut, nnd, indeed, was related to ihe Emperor Eagle. Why should not he, a;so, mako a figure nt the K ih.'a Cou.-it Why should he remain iho terror of mice, when he might make iho dovecots tluiter 7 In this mood ho saw the Hawk return, and gladly accepted the propoiitj,m to "sho lif.," iu his company ; but, afraid of his wile's tears and reproaches, nlraid ol his own conscience, lie dared not tell her of w hat he was about to do. Ho slipped away, leaving herlln-.ing on her perch. She nwoko to her berenvmiieiit. It would ben long tale to te how the truant Owl wn- disenchanted hy reality; tnw vain bis ttt'.irts to become a young dandy, like the Hawk; howjuiaern hie the sunlight made him ; how the food disagreed with him; how ho went to Curl, nnd was bau'ily disowned by tho Eigle. and mercilessly quizzed by tho courtier birds i how heartsick and feeblo he ru turned to his old oh.-l window, -o spend his dys in such peice as n-mnrte would leave him. As he ft w homewards, nit the dear familiar scenes came snoihiug to his mind, likoa hr i ze from the sen shore mi a feverish brow. Tho imnue of his old and tuvingcompnuiou, wiih whom ail joys and sorrowa had been shored, became an alternate anguish and nlternato joy io his troubled hoart, filling him with remorse nnd wiiu hope. As ho flow into the ruin, a hugo nud murderous rut slunk nway into his hole, licking his bloody lips. As ho How up tibia nest a film over-hrolowid his eyus, for there, beforu him, lay the nisugled body of hit murdered wife. Ho had left her old and unprotected) ho found her a corpse. Tho Paris Charivari has an amusing hit at ihe American expedition to Japan. It represents n lean, lank, soap-locked, goateed, tobacco chewing Yankee, in a Panama hat, nnd a turned down collar, in ihe presence of the Emperor of J. .pan. " Mr. Emperor, here's lots o' notions for you in return for your kindness in lettin'us in." "Leiiing y,.u in iho devil I Come out from here make you. self scarce nil" with you and your presents!
