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. A Western paper runs two religious columns

llURIED ALIVE.
A Nfw Orlmim Horror.
The poodle of Now Orleans wore, on FrliH lait,
'.startled ty a report that a yosnR la.iv havl- benn
burial alive. The J'irniim Krvs i Tho toting
latiT, upon retnrnlnn; from early ina.su on a Bunduy
morning, wb muldenly taken 111 of (llfwane or the
heart, and, as was supposed at the time, wanmitTo
catwl to death, owln to her unusual rteHhlnns, A
physician, her own uncle, hail attended her In her
Ut, moments, and pronounced her dead.
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.
