'^i-y^X^^^^^^?*^' ?'? i> [' i P 'The Honorable Flore n oe Cowper, " w th? poor1 woman itisist?d1 on d?tsribing herself; has been , condemned to penal s er v Ilia ? e for. fire y ears. It sounds a little strange to add that the offence lori whloh she was COD vio ted and sen te coed waa that of stealing two' BUVer spoons. Her bame has been floating about in the European and American press for some time, and it has been associated'with many reports, more or less vague, touching her aristocratic ' origin and many crime?. Now that the unhappy creature has reached a point at whloh she is ont off from eren the show of re spectablb position, there is a sad interest and a wholesome instruction in looking baok at her career, and. marking the fatal steps by whloh her descent bas been made. To understand the . extent of this wo? man's fall, it is needful to know what ehe wes and what she had been; 8be was, during the past few years, one of that class of educated female adventurers, little known here, bot oommon abroad, who correspond to the male chevalier d'industrie. Her birth, in spite of the protracted efforts of the London detect? ives to ferret ont the truth, ls still wrapped in mystery. Thora is no pos? sible donbt about the identity of the person who, in her childhood, waa Mies Florence Cowper's Ostensible father. Be still lives, and is, by occupation, a florist. When Florence was twelve years old, however, she was placed, ander.o new name, at a fashionable boarding school. Here she got the gloss or veuoei of bearing, and the measure of attain menta, of which it is hard to say whe? ther they were subsequently most osefu! or pernicious to her. lu a few yean after she married a man of fortune, tin matoh being probably brought aboul through the. influence of the titled per eon who caused her to be educated. ?Slit had wealth now and sooial position dbe was presented at court-adistinotiot of recognized significance, and meaning more with a subject than a foreiguer and apparently had little to do but bas! in the sun-shine of happiness. But whilo thus cherished by prosperity, sh was divorocd from her husband. Tin reason need not here be dwelt upon bnt, despite the oloud cast upon be good namo, snob 's her fasoinatiui i that she soon foun. nether rioh hus band. Tho latter hos J.nco drunk him self into an insane asylum. While livin| with him, Florence acquired a taste fo brandy, whioh has oluug to her ere since, and to whioh much of her snbse queut misery is to be attributed. Her plnnge downward after this wai rapid indeed. A year or two more sh was in an asylum for fallen women. Sh carno out, and, being hampered by debt the trustees of her first hasband relieve? ber, having been authorized in som way so to do. Then followed a relaps to the temporarily abandoned stron, drink, and then a long catalogue of ic genious extortions. Her beauty un culture were still arailable, and she use them unscrupulously to entrap and ovei reach those whom she could got in he toils. Among the number were seven well-known persons, whose dread of put Hoity, iu most cases, kopt them quio* There were exceptions, aud these, b oraft, and once or twioe by legal strati gem, Florence contrived to baffle. Te years had gone by at this sort uf tbiiif and she was going fust down the hil As she became JOSH fresh and more braze and intemperate, the woman began I steal. She first took jewels and watch? ! from the houses of her friends. As hi standing even in the demi monde beean lower, und money more source, even tl smallest articles that could be pawut were stolen by her. Finally, as wo hu' seen, she has boon tried aud SHUtuiict for the theft of two spoons. The pu ishment seems harsh for such au uot, b thuro wore two other indictments aguie ber, and there is no question whutev of her having porpetruted mauy Himil offences. Brandy aud unbridled pt sinus have brought tho unfortunate w man to a pass bbaraeful to her hex, uer education, and to her social ad vu tages. Florence Cowper's story is full of su gestivc winning. It is ono of tho cases that seem to end in calamity wi thc certuiuty of a uiathemitticul dome strutton. It is, so tu speak, ?yminetrh in vice-bud going to worse in regu! degroes, so that tho climax could bo pi ?Hoted by nu experienced observer at most any stu go of lier progress.

WC* I^^Hwrfirw^ ia aruiDg ia that, old country. In. his. in? teresting letters from the East, Tttr. James Brooks, M. a, of tho New York Expr?s?, gives a decided preference to ! the Japanese over, ?h?'Chinese in eo^er prise and intellectual activity. Those Japanese who have visited this country as students' would seem to justify the opinion of Mr. Brooks. Notwithstand? ing their race has excluded itself as far as possible from other nations for centu? ries, their yoong men who have come to study in American ? colleges and schools assimilate themselves readily to the ways and customs of our young and go-ahead people. Daring the administration of President Fillmore, io 1852, the Japan? ese expedition, under Commodore Mat? thew C. Perry, was sent out, and nego? tiated a treaty with that Government, which opened the way to' the intercourse which now subsists between Japan and the United States. In 1867 and 1858, a oew treaty was negotiated with the Ja? panese Government on behalf of the United States by Mr. Townsend Harris, United States Consul-General for Japan, by whioh additional privileges were granted to American merchants. The British, Russians and Dutch also made favorable treaties with Japan.. Aa time bas advanced, the mutual relations of Japan and the onteide world have' be? come more and more friendly, and a nearer and closer intercourse bas seemed desirable for all parties. The Japanese have adopted readily the improvements and mechanical appliances of their West ern brethren. They have constructed c navy, sud they use steam power as read! ly as if they had invented it. Daily, weekly and illustrated papers are pub ashed there. One of them, an 'Illus troted News, is said to be beautifully Ulm truted, by photographs pasted on tb? pages, of scenes in Japan, mountains cities, residences, business places, steam ers, dooks and wharves. It is only abou four years sinoo newspapers have beal published in Japan, but an observan writer states that the Yokohama Dail\ News, a purely Japenese paper, whio? has recently been started, is now meet iug with the greatest success. It is ? four-page sheet, about the size of th Li'md on Illustrated Nev? or Harper' Weekly. In one of the lats issues wa on editorial ou the Irish trouble whial took place in New York some month ugo, wherein tbe writer says it woul appear even the nations uf the West ar nut without their local disturbances The paper does not contain the came c any publisher, and an advertisement e the Paoitio line of steamers is illustrate with a wood cut of a steamer under fol sail. Another item which is foand i one of tho recent issues is to the effec that the students in the college st Yedd number not less thuu 1,200, and tbs among the teachers are four Ameriaam rive Englishmen, three Germans, tbrt Freuohmen and one Swiss. Another n< tice whiah appears in one of these pul licatiuus ia to the ? fleet that Gen. Capre r< com meads the importation from abros uf swiue and sheep, as well as a grei variety of agricultural implements. Fae of many varieties are chronicled, an wo find that tho Japanese are nut bebi? their American friends in the love * rumors, which they publish with grei apparent satisfaction.
