At) audience, which nearly filial the lecture room of St. John's Presby terian Church (Dr. Scott's), assembled last evening to listen to the lecture of Dr. Hepburn on Japan. The lecturer is a physician, formerly of New York, who has spent the last sixteen years of his life In Japan, partly in the pur suit of his professional business and partly as a missionary. THE JAPANESE AS FARMERS. He thought there wore no better farmers in the world than the Japanese. Although the land has been cultivated for three thousand years, it still pro duces a line crops as any in the coun try. Three different erojis have fre tucntly been raised one alter the other on the same piece of ground in one year. Timber for the purpose of Are wood is as regularly cultivated as any other crop. Oak and chestnut are their favorite firewood, and the stumps being left, project a new growth, which is cut down in a lew years. Some of these stump1 look as though they were one hundred years old. THE NEW DISPENSATION, The speaker enumerated the four Classes of society in Japan as follows: The military, or patrician which is also the ruling class; the farmers or peasantry, the artisans and the mer chants. He then briefly sketched the history of the country ir.oiu the over throw' of the feudal system ot the Daimios, resulting in the establishment of the government hy the Tycoon, to the recent rcliellion, which ended in the overthrow of the Tycoon and the establishment of the government hy the Mikado. The latter, he said, was due to the contact with the most cul tivated and enlightened nations, the people, of which formed a consid erable element in the population. This was the death blow to the old form of government. The whole form of government has been changed since. In proof of this the speaker referred to the modeling of a judiciary system after the most approved modern form; tne lessened resiect paid to the Em peror; the adoption ot lire arms instead of the bow and arrow ; the building of war vessels, establishment of foundries and machine shops, factories, railway, telegraphic linos and lighthouses bi trotlactioii of printing presses, a postal system ; the changing of their calendar to conform to that of the Europeans, the founding' of almshouses ana hos pitals for the ioor, and colleges and academies for the higher branches of education ; the 5,000 common schools scattered throughout the country, the establishment of a national currency, the contraction of the enormous na tional debt, and many other evidences of an advanced cLvlMxatlon-all of which has taken place since the ports were thrown open to foreigners. These things have not grown out of any pro gressive spirit of the messes, but have lieen initiated and carried forward by the patrician element. 'Hie great body of the nation lias been little affected by them. They are opposed to the inno vations because It tends to their im poverishment by leading to the im position of heavy taxes on them to maintain the increased expenses of the Government. THE MISSIONARY WORK. The general Impression that a mis sionary may now go wherever he pleases in Japan andpreach the gospel as freely as in this country is far from the truth. Japan cannot be said to be open to the preaching of the gospel as much as India, Syria, or even China. It is only in Yokohama, Yedo and about half a dozen other ports tliat the missionary is permitted to go, and even in tliem he is not allowed to live or rent a building fbr any purpose out side of the limit assigned for the resi dence of foreignors without special permits from the Japanese Govern ment, and such permission the speaker had never known to be granted. The restriction, it is hoped, will be remov ed upon tbe revision of the treaty which is soon to take place, A mis sionary may go into the country any where within a rodius of twenty-five miles from the open port and stay a week at a time, and may do a little toward preaching and teaching in that way if lie can get a passport ,' but at best mislotiaiies aro much trammeled in their labors. THE LABORERS IN THE FIELD, There are now in Japan aliont thirty Protestant missionaries all Ameri cans but two. Seven of them repre sent the Presbyterian Church four tin? Dutch Reformed, five the Congrega tionai, four the American Episcopal, two the Baptist, two the English Epis copal, and two the American Metho dist. Four of them are ladies from the Women's Missionary Society of this country. These figures were com piled about a year ago. before the speaker left. The missionary force has been increased somewhat since. Two of lite missionaries arc physicians. THE FIRST CHOUGH. In Yokohama n Christian Church lias been organized through the labor ot the Presbyterian and Reformed Dutch missionaries. It lias about filty members, several of whom are women. It was organized after the Presbyterian order, having two Elders and two Deacons, andis under the pastoral eai c of a Presbyterian and Dutch Reformed missionary. This is theonly Protest ant Church in Japan. The mission aries have agreed to organize their churches on the Union basts, to be culled by no other name than the Church of Christ, and to liave no sec tarian teachings therein Thus prac tically uniting their forces and eschew in all sectarian strife. .V. F . Chronicle. Oct. 30th. The True Distinction. Who would think of condemning a worthy merchant because he discovered in his employ a dishonest clerk? Sympathy. rather than blame, would be extended to him, and every fair-minded man would approve the prompt dismissal, and, it the law was violated, the speedy punishment of the offender. Why, then, should our opponents denounce the Republican party because it dis covers among its thousands of officials a few exceptional eases of dishonesty ? The party repudiates tho nets of dis honesty, and the people put their stamp of condemnation, not only upon the offence, but uion the offender. No Kct of dishonesty, or official guilty of crime; no questionable or iniquitous measures have ever been condoned or protected by the Republican party. As soon as known, an earnest protest has gone up against tliom, find thoe Involved have oeeu called to a strict account. This is all that cair be done. Individuals are liable to be deceived. A party can rise no higher nor better divine the future than the individuals who compose it. As long as the party seeks to detect and punish the rascals who deceive it. and ir e due caution in the selection of its public servants, we shall have an abiding faith in it. We call upon Republicans everywliere to select tor office the very best men In the ranksofthe party, and to weed out evorv official that shows himself unworthy of public confidence. YelocaloftlicOreaowaiils the re cipient of a fine lot of Strawberries from Mr. IK L. Pettyman, the second crop this year from that gentleman's vines. in It is said that the Louisville authori ties find it a more speedy cure to send married drunkards home instead of to the lock-up. Pnaics. Panics, like extensive conflagrations, have small beginnings. A spark has within it the power to lay In ashes tlie largest city. If ted by combustible material, it soon becomes a flame, be fore which iron melts and granite crumbles into dust. So with panics. Words of suspicion are the sparks tliat leap to financial conflagrations. Dis trust is breathed from one to another ; instead of being guicted by calm ad vice, It Is fed by popular excitement. Those who have least to lose arc the loudest In their croakings over coining failures. A rush is made to sacrifice stock that is both profitable and safe; it is thrown upon the market along with fancy and worthless stock. A sense of Insecurity seizes the buyei, and the resnlt is, no sales, or ruinous sacrifices of stock that only needed the restoration of confidence to be worth more than ever. When a fire breaks out. efforts are made to confine it within its original limits. But the breaking out. of distrust in a commu nity is tlie signal, not for united efforts to confine Ft within its legitimate bounds, or its suppression, bnt for a general rinh to feed the flame by gos sip, ill-omened prophecy, or ground less rumors of some indefinable calam ity. A rumor starts, affecting the financial standing of some bank official. It matters little whether it be true or false ; the whisper is soon tranr formed into a storm. A sudden run is made upon the bank ; then upon other banks, until the whole community is in a fer ment of excitement. If tlie banks have facilities for prompt conversion of securities into cash, the storm may blow over; bnt if distrust is wide spread, money is locked up or held for self-protection, and bunks that are perfectly sound are driven by sheer necessity to suspend payment. No reasonable man can expect a banker to pay interest on deposits and keep those deposits locked in his sate, ready to be returned without a moment s notice ; ret men who elnim to be rea sonable, act at times as it they thought this to l tlie ease. Banks pay Inter est upon money, because they can loan the money received fbr a higher rate ot interest than they pay. They take securities for money loaned. To con vert these into money requires time; and those having deposits should be considerate enough It) grant it. Tlie best bank in the country may be forced to suspend payment, in the face of an unexpected and unreasonable demand, especially if popular excitement lias so unsettled values as to render tlie con version of securities into cash almost impossible. Panics should be stopped at the momentofthclr inception. Men of ability and judgment should unite to quiet popular distrust. Confidence should be strengthened by every legit imate i leans. Depositors, unless they have good reasons tor demanding pay ment. Should assist, rather than cripple, the bank whose credit and standing they dtpmd upon. Exceptional cases of failure may occur at any time, but a ianie, such as recently swept over the financial centres of the country, ought to lie an impossibility. We trust that the press of the laud will exeH its powerful iulluenee towards maintaining u healthy state of public confidence1. !.: , but PhiluMvphicnl. A lady was recently reading to her child, a boy of seven years, a story of a litlie fellow whose father was taken sick and died, whereupon tlie young ster set hiui-elf diligently at work to assist in supporting himself nnd his mother. When slie had finished the story, the following dialogue ensued: Mother Now, my little son, if pa was to die. wouldn't you work to help your mother? liny (Not relishing the idea ot work). Why, ma, what for? Ain't we got a house to live in? Mother Oh yes, my child ; bnt we can't eat the house, you know. Hoy Well, ain't we got flour and sugar and other things in the store room ? Mother Certainly, my dearj but they will not last long, what then? Hoy Well, ma, ain't there enough to eat till you can get another husband? Ma gave it up. A private letter from Berne, dated August 12th, says Dr. Livingstone is a prisoner of the Samgi tribe, in Cen tral Africa, and is nimble to pay the ransom demanded for his release. Far Western papers, as a rule, spare neither age nor sex when a Joke is wanted. For Instauce a Carson City journal says : "Our County Clerk can boast of a'wife with the bisrgest feet an the Jdiigest noseot any female to tbe Territory." PVHOENV PABAGM'Mn.

It Is said that there never was,ao honest redbreast; he is always a robin. An enraged man tears his hair, but au enraged woman tears her husband's.. There are two reasons why some people don't mind their own business. One is, that they haven't any business, and the other is they haven't any mind. A young lady who lately gave on order to her milliner for a bonnet, said; "You are to make it plafn, but at the same time smart, as I sit in a conspicuous place in church." A Danbnry man who is rather nn fortmiately married, being requested by his wife to have the ice man stop there, said it was scold enough at the house now to suit him, and then dodg ed. 'Pretty bad under foot," said one citizen to another as they met in the street. "Yes, but it Is tine overliead, " responded the other. "True enough, " said the first, "but then very lew are. going that way." "Let go that jib let go thai jib quick!" shouted the captain of i down-east stoop to a raw hand in a squall. "I ain't touching yer old jib. " rcnlied Jonathan, indicnantlv. as he jammed his lists deeper Into bis trbus- erioous.

Everything in Orper Iu pre senting any iiAleie fof'sale, It' pays to. have it in order. Too much cifreWss ness in the preparation of any article is bad economy. Wheat should be thoroughly cleaned, and not bleached by having stood in tlie shock too long. Corn with all the husks oil', and the mouldy cars thrown out. Potatoes and apples well assorted. If small potatoes or apples must be roW, have them separate. Grapes should appear iu market in full clusters, and .all small fruits in shallow basket's or box es. Hugs auilcattleslKinld not be tukeu to market till they hare arrived at full maturity in size nnd flesh. Butter should be in the cleanest vessels anU covered with snow-white cloths flirty palls ami done up iu checked aprons have played but. Cheese should imt be frescoed with fly-specks. Neatile-s is profitable in all things. When your chickens are plump and fat, li t tho purchasers feel their breast bones as much as they please. Shun nil little dishonest tucks in your sale of farm products, but have everything iu ,puch complete order that you can honestly demand a good price. Choice artlclei always bring the highest prices, and pay the best for the trouble In raising and marketing. In everything try to excel your neighbor. Men have made Immense fortunes hy having their ar ticle tor sale a little better could than be had elsewhere. This is tlie key to success.
