Mr. W. J. i Holland, the naturalist of the United States eclipse expedition to Japan, writes to the Pittsburg Dispatch, to say that "the population of Japan is 35,000,000.

Less than the usual amount of rain fell along the South Atlantic coast,? in northern New England; west ern New York, Nebraska, and the borth western portions of Iowa. I The large deficiency in rainfall for the season continues in the central valleys, but this deficiency has been reducecidur irjg the week in the wheat and con re gions of the Northern St :;s.

The rains which, have occurred during be weekj in the winter wheat regions will prove of especial value, as the sow ing of the wheat has been delayed in that section owing to the continuance of the 'drought.

The tTuited States supreme court hav ing decided that privilege taxes on drummers are not constitutional, a suit has been instituted in ' MississinnL to compel the disgorging of all such taxes, which were collected before this decision The suit will hardly amount to anything. Mississippi promptly acquiesced in the suprfrne-court decision. IN NORTHERN PULPITS. V Sensational Preacher in Washington lienounees the Anarchist and in Boistei 'ously Applauded. A Dispatch from Washington D. 0 jsays : An unusual scene occurred at the Metropolitan M. E. '"Church, when the Rev. John P. Newman, in' a sermon on I "Infidelity." referred in severe terms to the Anarchists. "Could any American ! citizen," he said, "ten vears ago have imagined the circulation . of a petition to pardon thoee whose hands are red with. blood of the defenders of public i peace and safety? What is back of this anarcny, mis dare aevii movement on the part of those villains who ought to have been hanged long ago?" At this point maDy of the audience rose to their feet, clapped their hands and with loud demonstrations announced their approval of the minister's words. The Rev. Dr. Joseph!

I His subject was "Not here, but risen." (The sermon, which was delivered with out manuscript, was largely a memorial discourse, several 'sympathetic referen ces being made' to the dead pastor. Tel egrams were received, by ur. Jfarser, white he was in the pulpit, from his peo ple in London, sending their tjood wish es. Jefferson's Education. For a boy born in a wilderness, Jeffer son enjoyed remarkable advantages in early youth, growing out of the fact that the frontier was as yet so near the parent colony. Good English tuition at 5, Latin' Greek and French, at 9, regular classical studies at 14, and a college course at 17, fall to the lot of few Ameri ; can backwoods boys.

I i ; I have been living now for some months at a distance of a mile away, in full view Of the Washington inonument, looking directly upon its eastern face, sayia cor respondent of the Kansas City Journal. It' never seemed twicei alike. It has its moods and changes ofj color, like the tops of the Swiss Alps. This morning the base oi" the 000-foot structure was lost in a deep blue mist, which filled the valley for a depth of a couple hundred feet. iThen came a section! of, perhaps, 100 feet more in which tlie shaft was purple and pink, the whole, crowned with a white blazing column, hundreds of feet high,!: flashing back! the sunlight, set against a deep blue western sky! At another time you will sec the cold, gray base' of the monument rising above the deep green foliage which surrounds it, with the dark blue highlands of Arling ton beyond, and overtopping all these the graceful shaft-pierces the heavens, towering f ar aboc the bxrozon line,! artt.il ,1 its top is lost in a sea of fleecy clouds. It is a realized vision of Jacob's ladder, a real visible f- stones causeway leading from heaven to earth. Do yon knowof any Other monument, like this? A few evenings ago there iras a' grand thunder shower in the east, j The west was black withldarkness, andelventhe white monu ment? was blotted out of sight. But at everv Hash of the lightning he whole eastern face of the I monument gleamed and flashed like a polished sword, coming out of the darkness with a suddenness and vividness that was startling. It seemed to be a ghastly8; monument, a col umn ot electricity, . , t - which leaped from the cairth to the sky. I am sure no other monument in this world can exhibit such a phase as that. Where Dancing is a Passion. I presume those wjio hare not traveled in Spain hardly realize bow thoroughly that country is given to the worship of St. Vjtujs. Says a recent writer: "The dance demon seizes Ion Spaniards at all times and under all circumstances in the streets, on'the public squares, under the porches of the stately mansions. A peripatetic musician! comes along strum ming his guitar, and in an instant the maid servants throw aside their brooms, the work women set down the pitchers i they are carrying to the fountain, the muleteers leave their mules, the inn keeper forgets your dinner, and all spring forward, arms akinbo and eyes spark ling.'1 Their feet juk toufih the ground, they balance in unison with the music and" dance with their souls as well as wth their bodies. Let a tourist pay a visiMo Toledo and put up at the ancient hostelry of Do Lino, and let a guitar player "station him -elf '.under the great sombic.arehWay that Don Quixote him self would not havje passed without a foreboding of evil. He will see with hLs own eyes how the nitural order of things will '! be di-iirrangk-d and everything thrown into confusion. 1 A fandaftgo will j begin in the Court, the kitchen and the ' streff, and arhidsuch a hubbub that he wilithirjk that he Ins taken leave of his jscrises.
