There are now in this city some specimens of the work of Japanese which shows that they have attained a proficiency in some branches almost if not quite equal to our own. Oneof these is a large map of the Imperial City of Yeddo, apparently executed by litho graphic process, or something similar, and finished up in colors. No job of this kind, executed in Europe or Amer ca, could excel it in minutences of de tail and careful neatness of execution. The streets, many of which are seven teen miles in length, are all laid down with apparent mathematical exactness, the vast system of canals like those of Venice, but on an immensely extended scale, is also exhibited, and the location of the Imperial Palace and grounds, covering several square miles of territo ry, and the palaces of some 250 princes who reside in the city, are all given.— The city is said to contain 1,500,000 houses, and 5,000,000 people, and to have a commerce more extensive by far than that of any city on earth, though this last seems incredible. Another is a birdseye view of Yokohama, with the foreign quarter to prevent indis criminate commingling of the races, the harbor, the surrounding hils, &c. These maps were purchased by a gentle man now in this city, at a native sta tioner's shop in Yokohama, and are said to be, as in fact they must almost necessarily be, entirely of native work manship. No foreigners have yet been allowed to settle in Yeddo, and the surveys of that city from which the map was made must have been wholly by native enginers.— San Francisco Al- Alta. MXiliO VOTING. The Jackson, Louisiana, Flay pre sents a new phase of the negro voting question. In that part of the South the freednicn were told that unless they voted with the Radicals the supplies of provisions for the owning year would be stopped. In consequence of this in formation, communicated in the lodge rooms of the colored loyal leagues, the negroes assembled immediately after the election to make requsitions for the donations promised. The Flag says: "There was a full exhibition of negro credulity and ignorance on the occa sion. Asa sample of what they ex pect, we give the following bill made out by a freed man for his family for supplies for the next year: Fifty pounds coffee, two barrels flour, fifty pounds sugar, four hundred pounds bacon, one bolt calico, one bolt do mestic, half barrel molases, one dou ble-barrel shot-gun, one pistol, &c." This is the manner in which the ne groes are manipulated in the loyal leagues. They are bribed by promises, cajoled by flattery, their passions stim ulated, their prejudices inflamed, and all this for the purpose of inducing them to vote the Radical ticket, to place in office persons who will dis franchise intelligent white men, and place the balance of the power in the hands of such individuals as those con stituting the gathering at Jackson. What hope is there for the peace and prosperity of a section while political power wielded by persons who can be thus fooled and deceived, and why should white men of the North support a party willing to debauch our whole elective system to hold power in the Union? This question of negro voting lies at the very foundation of the Radi cal party, and they will push on that column regardless of consequences to the real prosperity of the nation. If the North will not allow the experiment to be tried here, why should they force the system upon the South, especially in the face of such facts as those presen ted in the Flay f—Age. FRANK 1.1 N\N WIFE. To promote her husband's interests she attended in his little shop, where she bought rags, sewed pamphlets, fold ed newspapers, and sold the few arti cles in which he dealt, such as ink, papers, lampblack, blacks and other stationery. At the same time, she was an excellent housekeepers, and besides being economical herself, taught her somewhat careless, disorderly husband to be economical also. Sometimes, Franklin was clothed from head to foot in garments which his wife had both woven and made, and for a long time she performed all the work of the house without the assistance of a ser vant. Nevertheless, she knew how to be liberal at proper times. Franklin tells us that for some years after his marri age, his breakfast was bread and milk, which they ate out of a two penny earthen vessel, with a pewter spoon; bnt one morning, on going down to breakfast, he found upon the table a beautiful china bowl, from whiee his bread and milk was steaming, with a silver spoon by its side, which had cost a sum equal in our currency to ten dol lars. When he expressed his astonish ment at this unwonted splendor, Mrs. Franklin only remarked, that she thought her husband deserved a silver spoon and china bowl as much as any of his neighbors. Franklin prospered in his business until he became the most famous edi tor and most flourishing printer in A-j merica, which gave him the pleasure of relieving his wife from the cares of business, and enabled hi in to provide for her a spacious and well furnishtd abode. She adorned a high station as well as she had borne a lowly one, and presided at her husband's liberal table ■ l= -2- as gracefully as when he ate his break fast of bread and uiilk from a two pen ny bow I.— Par toil's Life of Franklin. A PEEP INTO RRKUIAM YOI.VOS NKKACiLII). But let us seek a field of interest. Hereon our right hand are the private grounds of him who ruleth in Zion, Brigham Young. Twenty acres he owns in the heart of the city, where are pleasant walks and floral beauties, sur rounded by a stone wall. Within this enclosure are three princely mansions, where live his thirty wives and num berless progeny. Each of these houses carries a name, that disorder and con fusion may not arise in the camp of Israel. They are the Bee llive House, Lion House and White House on the Ilill. This mighty wall is designed to shut out the world, to exclude inquisitive sight, but we shall venture to describe the scene with in. It is the hour of sunset, gilding the mountains with rapturous light.— We approach the massive iron gates, and unlike Moore's disconsolate Peri, we are permitted to enter the domestic paradise. Strolling leisurely along the grassy walks, our attention is attracted to the singular movements of an elder ly woman, her hair streaked with silver threads, yet with a step firm and elas tic. This evening's air isinviting, and she seems to enjoy the freshness. In her hand is an open book (can it be "Griffith Gaunt; or jealousy ?") which closes with a nervous twitch of the hand as her fading eye rekindles with a look that would seem to say, 'Oh, how I des pise you !' This woman, forty years ago, became Brigham Young's first wife. But who can be the victim of that ma lignant scorning ? What poor mortal is being crushed between her clenched teeth? Can it be I,only a looker-on— a harmless and unoffending Gentile? No; but we have discovered the study of her hate—the bohum upas that has been planted in her side. Yonder is a cluster of trees—they are aspen and maple —and under their thin, yellow tinged tops, is a bright eyed woman of twenty summers, who now leans upon an old man's arm. By what power we know not, but, as if drawn by magic hand, our steps are directed thither ward. The now mistress of the heart and situation flashes winsomelooks and breathes poetic words; he, old man that he is, and slave of sensualism, treads the floor of his own paradise, and smiles approving glances. This man is Brig ham Young, and this woman his very last and much the prettiest wife. No wonder that the "old creature" looked the disagreeable. Perhaps there are others peeping from behind damask curtains who are also.mourning the loss of their place in that old man's affec tions. WIT AM) WISDOM. The skeleton in every woman's closet—Her hoop-skirt. Improved proverb—.Spoil the road and spare the child- If figures don't lie, the woman's figures now-a-days are an exception. "Necessity is the mother of inven tion," but it has never been accurately ascertained who is the father. Marriages may be made in heaven, but they are often continued in the other place. What is the difference between a barber and a mother? One has ra zors to shave, the other has shavers to raise. "The ocean speaks eloquently and forever," says Beecher. "Yes," retorts Prentice, "and there is no use in tel ling it to dry up." It has been said to strike children aboul the head is barbarous, unchrist ian and brutal. This should never be done, especially as nature has provid ed a good deal better place. A woman being about to sign a deed, the lawyer asked her whether her hus , band had compelled her to sign it.— . "He com pel me?" said the lady; 110, sir, nor ten like him." A young lady out West is so modest that she left the dinner table blushing, the other day, because the servant put some bear meat before her. TEXAN BEEF.—At the taking of the . last census Texas had, or was estimat ! Ed to have, 3,500,000 head of horned cattle. They were worth little then, just as in the South American pampas the best stock was killed for the tongue . and hide. A plan lately devised has . introduced much of the South Ameri can beef into Europe in a comparatively ! fresh state. The fact that Texas cattle I can be bought for eight to ten dollars a head in gold there, while selling at [ twenty to forty cents a pound here, j has led to a plan by which some 30,000 :i to -10,000 Texas cattle have been coliect -1 ed at Abilene, on the Arkansas river, seventy-five miles from its mouth, one hundred and sixty-five miles west a from Kansas City and three hun . dred and seventy-five miles from northern Texas. Great preparations have been made for receiving and \ fattening animals there, and from . there they will be transported to the ' east. They can bo sold for four cents a v pound, gross, in Chicago, and leave s a good profit over all expenses. They v can be sold for six and seven cents t here, with equal results. The matter has been so well demonstrated that ex tensive preparations have been made . for the ensuing year, and the Texas .* farmers will be rejoiced to get cash for r their stock and we to get beef for our cash. The wild cattle are not quite so succulent eating when killed in the grass as our stall-fed beasts. But when • a Texas cow has been well fed for four or six weeks and kept quiet, nothing e but buffalo hump is tenderer, juicier or )f better flavored. e = a —Wooden legs cost the government is last year $15,203 50.
