Lieut. Haborshavv, of the T inted Mates ;Vu ,
i.- niiLiu-a suutj ui iuu.i..-unp .n!.. v.. .
delphia Ledger from Japan. In his last he gives
an interesting account of the hist interview or .Mr
Harris, United States Consul at Simoda, with the
Emperor of Japan at Yeddo, the imperial eapitol.
He snvs !
The manner in which Mr IT. and his secretary '
went to Yeddo is interesting. The Emperor sent
hi in :i hodv duara of 120 men. raid hau eomioi table ,.,!
houses nut alonir the road for him to pass the
nights in. He also sent him a large sedan chair,
reified by 12 bearers, and so roomy that he put a
mattress into it and reclined at lull length when
he was tired of sitting. It is only about 70 miles
Yeddo, thev were lodged in the most commodious :
quarters, treated witti tne greatest respect aim ai
A . A. - . 1 ..A.
tention, and granted interviews with the Empe- i
ror. The reader is of course aware that every
one, who has heretofore approached the Emperor,
has been required to do so upon his fcnees. Has
custom they were determined to adhere to in the
present ease; but, somehow or other, it had never
before been so difficult to "bell the cat." "Who
was to speak to Mr 11 about it?" that was the
question: Finally a Japanese uougias sieppea ior
ward and offered to brace his huge shoulder to the
task. This gentleman was not the most determin
ed man in Japan; but then he was upon the most
intimate terms of both social and political intere
coursc with "the American Legation." lie there
fore called upon 31 r II. and commenced the attack
by begging that he would not be offended at what
1 A -
lie was going to say.
'Certainly not !" pays
that gentleman. But he
ii- n i . : . : .. .1
lias an illKllllg 01 Wliai is coming, aim a iooiv vi
sudden and unusual gravity causes Donjrlas to
tremble. Instead, therefore of broaching the sub
ject he begs ouce more that '-his Excellency will
not be offended at something which he, Doug
las, has been ordered to say;" and then coughs,
and looks behind him.
"Certainly not!" and an increase of gravity in
the Consular face. Corresponding increase of
nervousness on the part of Douglas. Grand tab
leau, in which the American eagle is supposed to
dominate. Final desperation of Douglas, and out
bursting of the secret.
31 r Harris listened quietly and kindly to all he
had to say, and then replied with his usual judg
ment and firmness of manner. He told him that
he was anxious to do everything that was consis
tent with self respect to do honor to the Kmpcror,
but that this thin": was out of the question, and
had better not be referred to again. "Were Nipon
to send a Minister to my country," he said, 'die
i, i ,,,,.,-,. ...v. ,.,. Pnxiiilffnt in ;mv manner he
saw fit. He miirht kneel mid knock his head
:. aii.st the floor, or he might bow to h:m and
shake hands. 1 here we allow every one pcrtcet
liberty; and it is but right, theretore, that 1 be
allowed the same here."
"Very well ! Very well !" replied Douglas, half
apologetic-ally. And thur;. was settled this question
unr torr !" remarked Mr H.
Mr Harris speaks most interestingly of the feats
of the jugglers, and of the theatres of Yeddo, as
well as of the extensive stores. He says that the
Prinee of Cinano, (Cinano no-Kami) to whose par
ticular care it seems the Emperor confided his com
fort and amusement, fancying that ho was having
a dull time in the immense house that had been ap
that I am only repeatinu" tchat Mr Harris tofd as,
am! tfhat ne consrtptentfy believe. Hero are some
of his feats:
No. I. He took an ordinary boy's top spun it in
his hand, and then placed it
usual, the sword was danger
brou
bt
ously sharp.
No. - was aLo perf
ormett witn tne top. in;
spun it in the air, and then
. . j r
fhrfw tnt end ot
tlv Mvinir l:iek toward it with such accuracy
t ...
that it was caught up and wound itself already
for a second cast. Bv the time it had done this
nau uaucima
it bad reached his hand and was ready for another
- -
in.
o ?, was still nerformcd with the top.
There
was an nprrght pole, npon the top of which was
perched a little house with a very large front
door. The top was spun, made to ciiuib the pole,
km ek open the said front door, and dfeappear.
As well as I remeniuor, the hand end of the string
was fastened near the door, so that this was almost
a repetition d' the seH-.r'.icTnur feat.
But feat NO 4 was something even more aston
ishing than tfH'this. He took two paper butter
flies, armed himself with the u-ual paper fan,
threw them into the air, and fanning gently, kept
them living about him as if thev had been alive.
"He Call make them alight whenever you wish !
Try him:"' remarked the kami (prinec; through
the interpreter.
yT J requested that one might alight upon

REGULATION
OF THE PRICE
OF
BREAD IN PARIS.
In nothing is that spirit of minute supervision i
so characteristic of the French government, more
remarkable than its regulations with regard to
the price of bread in the metropolis. However
incompatible this may be with that freedom of
movement which is claimed for the trade of bread,
in common with all other departments of com
merce, the French regulations must be admitted to
be effectual for their purpose. We copy the fol
lowing from one of our exchanges.
Every bag of wheat, flour, or meal that comes to
the city must be brought to the Halle an Hie, or
drain Hall. This is an immense area, inclosed
with a circular wall, and covered by a huge dome,
so that it presents a vast, unbroken hall, of grand
and beautiful proportions, lighted from the top.
- , 11 ! 11 t- .1 If (' ll
prions stalls, witn desks lor tne oinces oi tne
clerks and employees. On the floor of this hall
are piled up, cobhouse fashion, in huge piles, ten
to twenty-five feet high, the bags of grain, present
ing to the visitor a striking panorama of solid
plenty.
The city of Paris is surrounded by a wall, not
for defence, as it is comparatively slight, but sim
ply for police, revenue, and other municipal pur
poses, one of which is the regulation of the bread
market. Barriers, that is gates, with police at
tendants and revenue officers, form the only en
trances to the city, except the River Seine, which
has also its guards. Every bushel of wheat or
other grain brought to the city for sale, must be
registered and stored at the grain hall, under
heavy penalties This regulation is rigidly en
forced, which is easy to do at the barriers with so
bulky an article; especially as the bags must be of
uniform size.
From this register of the daily supply, the gov
ernment of the city know at any hour just how
many pounds or pecks of grain of any kind there
arc in i aris. rrom accuiau Buiusuva imjuncu
to be furnished, they know how much flour or
meal is baked daily at each bakery, and how much
bread of all kind is consumed. They are there
fore able to fix the weight and prices of loaves,
each size and shape of which has its appropriate
name, according to the ratio between the supply
and demand, allowing ; fair and just profit to pro
ducers, traders, bakers; no more, no less. This
price, thus fairly graduated, at short intervals,
is fully proclaimed to the public, the dealers, the
bakers, and the police.
The police is authorized to drop in, at any time,
into any bakery, or breadshop, wherever bread is
exnosed for sale, and Weigh the loaves. There is
also a special inspecting officer appointed for this
express purpose. His visits are not stated, mat
thev mav have things got ready for exhibition in
stead of inspection, according to the English and
Araorinnn fashion of doillfT Pticll thin GTS. If tllC
inspector finds weight deficient, or the price of a : nays: "I here is no established standard ot pro

LEGISLATION AND THE CURRENCY.
j0rn:i of Commerce in reviewing the dis-
c(Miol8 odil of a meeting of the
i.Wends of a sound currency" in Now York, re-
i marks
i We have had far too much legislative tinkering
of the currency already, and we have little faith in
: the benefit of arbitrary enactments. The law of
trade will better regtdate thive matters if we leave
I the subject entirely to them, and not interpose so
many legal interruptions. If we are to have special
i legislative privileges on one side, we create a ne
cessity for special restraints on the other; but free
trade, like the truth, needs less carelul watching.

We forbid the legitimate loaning of money at
over seven per cent, and then create, by Invr a
class of institutions which are enabled to declare
eight and ten per cent, dividends by the very
practices we are now exhausting our wisdom to
prevent. We increase the competition in banking
without increasing capital, by refusing the same
profit to money employed in more natural chan
nels; and alter stimulating this strife by every con
ceivable legislative artifice, until the lever thus
created leads to all sorts of wild excesses, we set
to work, ou the hoinoepathic principle, to cool off
the excitement and restrain the madness by a fur
ther exhibition of the same process, lt would ho
refreshing, at once, to see a step taken in the op
posite direction.

THE DANCING.
"Look ! look!" said a half" dozen lady voices on o
pretty night, as we sat leaning against the outside
of the bail-room. We did look alas ! for our
poor modesty, we ought not to have done so. "If
my children were among them, I'd whip them
well for it. Yes, if they were full grown, I'd givo
them the hickory." So said the wife of one of
our princes, as she turned away in utter disgust.
Doctor, let me describe a little it the public
may look, certainly it may read, though it run.
A group of the splendid ones is on the floor, and
lovingly mated. The gents encircle their part
ners waists with one arm. J he ladies and gen
tlemen stand closely face to face. The gents are
very erect, and lean a little hack. The ladica
lean a little forward. (Music.) Now, all wheel
and whirle, circle and curl. Feet and hecln of
gents go rip-rap, rip-rap-rip. Ladies' feet go
tipity-tip, tipity-tip-tip. Then, all go rippity,
clippity, tippity, bippity, skippity, hoppity, ju in pi
ty, huinpity, thump. Ladies fly off by centrifugal
momentum. (J cuts pull ladies hard und closo.
They reel, swing, slide, sling, look tender, look
silly, look dizzy. Feet fly, tres.es lly, hoops fly,
dresses fly, all fly. It looks tuggity, huggity, pul
lity, stieezity, pressity, rabbity, rip. Tho men
look like a cross between steelyards and "limber
jacks," beetles and jointed Xes. The maidens
tuck down their chins very low, or raise them ex
ceedingly high. Some smile, some grin, somo
giggle, some frown, some pout, some sneer, and all
sweat freely. Hie ladies' faces are brought against
those of the men, or into their bosoms; breast
against breast, nose against nose, and toes against
toes. Now, they go again, making a sound like
(leorgey-porgcy, dercy-peery, ridey-pidey, coachey
poachey. "This dance is not mneh, but the extra aro
glorious." If men were women, there would bo
no such dancing. Hut they arc only men, and so
the thing goes on by toe 2mm of it. When a
boy, we used to visit these Dutch dances, and
trip the whirling beer barrels, as they passed our
feet, and then run for dear life. We still feel the
instinct of tripping in our toes. A secular writer
