TllE DAILY EVENING TELEQliAPH PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1G, 18C9 JAPAN. A Vrrnllln Dlatrh The 'hnmnioiin Corr$sfmndrfu-t of th llottnn TrawlU r. Kobe, Japan, April 11. Oii Rrpvliy, the ilny after our arrival, the Govern .or mint an invitation to the American vessels to nttond a wreHtling mjitch the following ('.Ay: . In a lurge vaoaivt lot near the Oovernor'H palace, at Osaoa, was a Bort of raino circus ring, covered ly a nhel, tha pillars of which were wrapped in rod and white pnpor, spirally arranged, like a barber ple. At a little dis tance on one Hide, was another Novated stand, which appeared to be the place of honor, since I saw there the American Consul and Dr. II. among a great crowd of Japanese oflioials. In front of, and between these nd the ring, were a number of chairs, also occupied by Japanese officers. Finding that we were late, and that all the seats were occupied already, we selected a standing place and prepared to view the per formances at ease. A JAPANESE GOVERNOR. rresently approached no less a person than Ito, the Governor himself, shook hands with ns all, addressed us in excellent English, made a lot of Facanins get out of their chairs and bring them to us, sent for tables, sherry, champagne, and cigars, and sat down by and entertained ns during the three hours which we stayed. lie was us courteous a gentleman as I have ever met. Ito was once Prince Ratsuma's servant, and went to England some time ago in a sailing vessel. There he learned English quite well, and by his talents and application has since risen to his present position. Such advance ment is rare in Japan, where occupations de scend from father to son, and the son of a Bervant will surely remain a servant to the end of his generation, unless his extraordi nary talents and extraordinary opportunities, for exhibiting them enable him to rise. WKEHTLING MATCH. The performances themselves nre very odd to a stranger. The ring, which is raised to about the level of the. eye of a man sitting iu a chair, is made of fine sand. An oflicer, pro vided with a fan of a peculiar shape, presides over the contests, and places the combatants, giving the signal of attack by turning his fan over and urging them on with shouts and cries. The wrestlers are seated in two par ties, one on either side of the raised platform, and before a match, a fellow with a fan in his hand comes up from one side, squats down, opens his fun, and cries, with every evidence of internal pressure, in a high singing voice, the name of the wrestler on Lis side. A like performance is gone through with from the other side, and then the heralds salute with their fans and retire. The combatants enter the lists together, stop at the outer edge and wilute, while the master of ceremonies pro claims their names again. They then pick up a little sand and throw it into the air, raise their hands and get off a little prayer, and each goes to his own corner and takes a mouthful of water, vi Inch he atomizes by some legerdemain, and spirts all over himself. 15y the water ladle hangs a little basket of Bait, a few particles of which he sprinkles on the ground, and begins to snort and bellow like a bull, to stamp around the inclosure, and to try the suppleness of his muscles iu various ways. He is clad only in a very long blue scarf, which passes around his waist several times, and" subserves such decency as Japanese morality requires. After more than a sufficiency of these performances, the opponents finally squat oxiposite each other in the middle of the arena, looking as unconcerned as they can the while. Presently one pushes tho other over on his back, and to show there is no ill feeling, brashes the sand from his bare limbs as he rises. This is a false start, so the entire programme of drinking, salt sprinkling, bel lowing, etc., has to be gone through with again, perhaps several times over, but finally the contest begins, and during the time it lasts is sufficiently interesting. But it only lasts about five seconds, at the end of which one is thrown out of the ring, and retires defeated, while the other squats at his end of the ring and raises his right arm, while his name is intoned again by the master of ceremonies. THE CIIAMTION 01' JArAN. The Governor explained to mo that tho poorest wrestlers came first, and the quality of the Contests would improve as the exhibi tion proceeded. So, after looking on awhile, we went to see the second strongest man in Japan an immensely fat fellow, with a big belly and great dewlaps hanging from his jaws. He took a great fancy to my cane, and asked me if I thought it would support his weight. I did not think it would. From him we went to see the champion, Fi-ma-ku, who is the strongest man in Japan. He was a tall fellow, heavily built, weighing, I should think, about three hunched and fifty pounds, with a deep bass voice, great dignity of man ner, and a peculiarly rich, fruity laugh. After seeing his points and talking to him for awhile, we went back to the lists, where the contests were taking a new character, tho winner in each fight holding tho ring against all coiners until defeated. After these there was a solemn procession of little boys, gorgeously dressed iu aprons which were heavily bordered with gold lace. These went through a variety of gyrations aud motions, meaning I don't know what. Then f ollowed older men. who went through similar performances, and hnally the magnificent Fi-ma-ku himself, preceded by a herald, who bore the emblem of chumpiomship, a beautiful nword, heavily crusted with gold, and followed ny a numerous retinue. He wore also an apron much more gorgeous and much more heavily crusted with gold lace than the others, and challenged any live men in Japan to nttuck him at once. Tho challenge not being accepted, he snorted and stamped around for a while, and retired without wrestling. The a however, wrestled and threw his adver sary, a large and very tall man, and it was most surprising to behold the amazing celerity with which that great corporation bobbed around the ring. So the performance was finished. Oldest Semitic oleaI.nML, The following letter, dated at Oxford, May 21, appears in the London Athenttum : "Outside the small band of Assyrian stu dents, few know that we possess fragments of an ancient Semitic Code of Laws older than the Mosaic legislation or the earliest literature of India. A portion of these fragments will Le found in the second volume of the "Inscrip tions of Western Asia," page 1(1; the rent still await publication. The Code is written in Assyrian and Accadian the primitive language of Chaldea, which represents a stage of growth in the Turanian family of speech out of which the Ugrian, Mongolian and Euskarian branches have respectively developed. On this account it has been held to be a product of Accadian legislation, and not to belong to the Semites at all. I have been led, however, to take a different view of the matter, from the facts, (1) that the Semitic ma mi is used in the Accadian text, and (2) that the Assyrian is of a very archaio character atta, for instance, laiog iwei for both Uig jiuliug mi the, lYtaJnine singular of the first personal pr. lioun. I believe the laws, therefore, to be tlu work of tho Semitic conquerors of Assyri i, dating from a remote period of their history. As written at a time when the conquered abo riginals still retained their languag., tho Co Jo is bi-lingual, like the later inscriptions o Achirmenian and Sassanion kings. - The fol lowing is a translation of the fragments yet published. I have italicized all words whose meaning may le considered doubtful : "I. (1) A penalty. If a wife say to hor husband, 'Thou art not my husband,' she shall Ihj plunged into the river, (a) A penalty. If a husband say to his wife, 'Thou art not my wife,' he shall pBy two-thirds of a nianeh of silwr. (3) A penalty. If a master maltreat (his) slave, put him to death, mutilate, beat, cruelly oiprcss, or do him violence, his hand that (so) offends shall measure out two-thirds of a bushel of corn. "II. (1) If a man's issue sin and conspire with his enemies, he shall expel hint from (his) house (2) In every case, should a man put his son in possession, ho shall not settle him (therein) (?). (:)) For the future a man shall buy (his) irare in (his) estate. () A man shall havu his (race in his own ground. "Hero th6 Assyrian transcript is broken off, and our knowledge of Accadian does not permit a connoctcd translation of tho remain ing text. "(7) I lis. father and hisniothor .... (10) A woman possesses irmfrrcr he lain built. (11) In every case for the future (12) A penalty. If a son say to his father, 'Thou art not my father,' he shall make unto him refit utivii . . . and shall puy unto him a sum of silver. (1:1) A penalty. If a son say to his mother, 'Thou art not my mother,' he shall .... and shull be expelled from tho house.. (14) A. penalty. If a father say to his son, 'Thou art not my son, .... "Mutilated as these fragments are, they will still be of interest and value to the stu dent of jurisprudence. Much light may bo thrown by them upon many obscuro prob lems of early law; the patriarchal relation, tho position of women and slaves, tho scale of punishments, and other questions, an ade quate discussion of which would far exceed tho limits of a letter. A. II. Sayce." Dcntli of u e-enl:mt of Itinir lMiilip. Quite a remarkable man, in many respects, recently died in Albion, Michigan. This was Mr. Jonathan Mingo, who was born about 17!2, on Montauk Point, Long Island. Ho belonged to the Nurragansott tribe, and was a lineal descendeut of King Thilip; and at the time of his death had in his possession the powder horn which was taken from tho body of that noted Indian chief when the latter was killed by one of Captain Church's men, at Mount Hope, in 1I7;. When he was about six years of age his father was killed by falling into a well, leaving a wife and six children. Soon afterwards a man by the name of Ketchuni camo from Huntington, about one hundred miles distant, and wanted Jonethan and an elder sister to go with him. Though very much afraid of all white men, he was persuaded by his mother to get into the wagon with his sister and ride. On tho way he became alarmed, jumped out, and tried to escape, but was pursued, caught, and tied to the wagon, and so taken to Mr. Ketchum's home, with whom he lived in tho direst slavery until he was twenty-one years old, and was then sent off with neither edu cation, money, nor decent clothing. When about sixteen, he attended a camp meeting, and while standing outside of the tents, he heard the minister who was preaching say that "Jesus Christ died for all, tho poor as well as the rich, for little children, though they may be ragged and barefooted." This was strung news for the poor Indian boy, who was himself ragged and barefooted. He accepted the offer, and became an honest Christian from that day on. When he returned home his master flogged him se verely, and tried to cause him to abandon his religion by taking away his food. But he "preferred to enjoy the peace of God, even if ho should bo starved aad flogged every day for it." When he joinod the church (Metho dist), he requested to have recorded opposite his name, "for life;" and when visiting tho place a year or two since, ho looked up the old record, and found it written there. For more than sixty years ho was sedulously true to that record. In his last hours he said he had " looked over tho accounts and all was balanced;" was "all packed up and ready to go," when the Heavenly Father should call for him. Mr. Mingo had lived in Albion about ten years, and was well known and highly esteemed. He leaves a wife, daugh ter, and three sous, two having fallen ill the Union oi-iuy during the recent war. RAILROADS. Their KcliUive Com. The completion of the Pacific Railroad has induced a writer, who has had full access to railroad statistics, to compile some statements, wKch will Ihj read with interest, respecting the relative cost of tho construction of rail roads in our country compared with other parts of the world. Whether these statistics are in every way trustworthy is not stated; but it is to le presumed that, having been derived from official documents, they will at least approximate to the truth, with as great a degree of accuracy as can be easily attained. ! I The total length of ruilwayss in tho world is 1(111,177 miles; tho entire cost has been ft(10,K2,.7.rl,iH2. The United States have 42,247 miles; Great Britain, 14,247; France, WAX; Russia, 4lil7; Prussia, .r!2i; Italy, 4KW; Austria, 44i; South Germany, yCHl; Spain, H42!; Belgium, 1703, and the North German States, 1311. British India has XW2, and the Canadian dominions 1348. No other land exceed 1000 miles. Tho distribution of railway to the area of territory and the ratio of population is suf ficiently curious, but we have not space for the comparison.. The cost of construction was greatest in Great Britain, and next grwiatest with uk. She has laid out f 2,511, 814,43.1; our expenditure has been !fl,H(4, t.VJVA. France is next, $l,r,7(j,;(i.r,8!2; and then tho tables show no more billions. Prussia has spent 747,(iH!),34(J, and Russia, 724,300,274; Belgium, !$182,1!8,(1. The' relative cost is greatest in Brazil, where a mile of railroad cost on an average $201, l7, against !17i,;0 in Great Britain; K8,714 in France; $97,201 in Holland; .ri7,114 in Denmark; and $44,2.r.' in the United States. This is wonderful disparity, and is more remarkable from the fact that labor is cheaper everywhere else than in the United fet a tes; but then the roads of other countries are better built and better furnished. I he course of time and of events will neees sarily increase the extent of our railway ays. tern, but taking all things into consideration, we have every reason to congratulate our! selves on the present facts in our history, and the Paciflo Railroad is in itself a hole sys tem, for it will involve almost endless ramifl catious.

Thcdcrthof this young lady In the bloom of life (at the gc of twenty) caused much sympathy In the neighborhood, and her funeral, which took place In the evening of tha day of her death, attracted a large conconrse of people. She had died about 1 o'clock In the morning, and tho funeral occarred at 6 In the evening. The report goes on to say, that on that same even ing the sexton of the graveyard, having some btnl ncHS to attend to In town, left his son, of mature age, in charge of the keys, with the Instruction to close the gates at the usual hour, after making his round through the cemetery, In order that no visitor might be accidentally confined inside. About dusk the sex ton's son, while going his round, punning near the tomb tn which the young lady had been buried scarcely an hour before, heard low and heart-rending moanlngs coming from behind the marhlo slut, losing his self-posHCBBlon, and overcome with fear, he hurriedly left the scene, and cloRing the main gate of the cemetery, went home, and It was not until morning that he related tho circumstance to his horror-stricken family. Information of the facts was immediately sent to the bereaved family of the deceaHed, and workmen were soon engaged In open ing the tomb and breaking open the coltlln enclos ing the remains of the young lady. The spectacle was too horrible to describe. Her face and body were In a terrible state of distortion, her hair torn from the roots. In the terrible convulsions which had preceded lier death, she had literally harrowed her beautiful face with her nails, and her clenched lints In contact with her foaming lips showed the traces of her teeth. It is unnecessary to say that life was entirely extinct. We will not relate the terrible Impression which this awful circumstance produced on the minds of those present, for it can be more readily imagined than described. The coflln and tomb were closed once more, this time forever, upon the victim of for tune; and the story went out, but indefinitely, as we have already remarked.
