IX THE HEART OF JAFAX. Tb* BWtni State* la lb* WerM-A Bell Ibat ban Nal bee* R** 1* Twel** Has. Srv4 Tear*. A letter dated Kioto, Japan, says We are now in the heart of Japan. Thi* citv was for many oeuturiea the mikado's capital, and until ten years ago, when (he overthrow of the shosuu left the •apital of that ruler de facto open, its greater advantages led the mikado and liis cabinet to occupy it. This old capi ta], at one time with a papulation said o have been 2,000,000, is now reduced to 150,000. 1 arose early, and was glad t find a clear morning. I walked out at a side door of the inn. and found inv *e!f in one of the approaches to a Shinto temple. I was almost under one of the granite tonii, or monuments. This one - alnwit sixty feet high, and four atone lanterns at the ooniers of the square iin> of great sixe, and oider than any 1 have yet seen. Jnat a* the suu was ris ing above the eastern hill, 1 watched the men and women as they came in front of the open temple dixir, and threw their offerings in. Then clapping their hands they fold t-liem, bow the head in devia tion, aud go away to the duties of the day. For a moment the temple was deserted, and a man came out with his lace ttuueil full to the rising sun—the 'couple fao-d the south—he went through the same devotional exormaes that 1 had ■n-t seen, but he rcuuuued louger, Ixiwal with hi- head to the ground, and exinlw itivi more fervor. We have visuted several temples situ ied ou the hillsides, ou the east side of the plain on which the city la spread out, rhe oldest and largest is known a* the Chimin, and Klouga to the Joudo sect. It ta very large, ineasurttig in frout over •>OO feet. This sect never paint their temples, :uid this oue presents a dreary aspect of weather-stained wood.

In -trong contr.ist with their religious es lab'ushmeuts is the architecture of the k wn. The streets are narrow and nn jwvevl, the houses small anil squalid, and poverty is wntteo everywhere. We have just returned trom a vtsit to N'ara, oue of tlie old capitals of the em pire, distant about thirty-six miles. We drove at a brisk trot for an hour In-Iort" ;i break occurred iu the line at houses, when we crossed a I ranch of the I'ji nver, b\ a bridge about a thousand feet '•- parcat injury to the immense We went around it, but .wild torrn uo intimate of it* rise Oar minister at Toko told me that it sa sixty feet froui the seat of lota* leaves to the top of its head, and that a man .\>nld climb through the n vstrii.

To-.lav we rode to Lake Bewa, distant a boa* seven mile*, and our route lay doug the great Tokaido. The road is about twenty feet wide, well macadam z. d, with the inevitable walled ditch on either side. It is the if rent thoroughfare iron; Osaka to Tukio, and from the lake to Koto it was a continuous stream of t ravel, many cattle, ami a few horses ■aden with good* of every description. We entered the t"wu at the south end of the lake, and were taken to a flight of stone steps to climb to a temple that overlooked the lake. We ascended them found ourselves on the plateau excavated t'i the side of the mountain, and turned •look upon the largest lake in Japan. It is sixty miles in length, but narrow at the south end. It is surrounded by rich alluvial lands. Our guide next led us to *ee a bell, which, he told us, had not been rung in twelve bnndred years, and pointed to a small wooden bmlding rt the head of a flight of wide stone 'tops. We looked in through the wooden lars, well worn by curious visitors, and w, well supported on a strong wooden table, a boll about four feet high, with a bad crack, which seemed to have been •■aused by fire. It had on it a few plain figures as ornaments. Our guide in formed us that it was seventeen hundred years o!.1, and that it had hung in an an cient Shinto temple that once stood where it now lies. For five hundred rears its tones floated over the placid lake, and called the people along its shores to worship. Then came a catas trophe, and twelve centuries have jiassed. An Visitor. Some time ago a large ami excited crowd of citizens rushed Pi oue of the wfi.irves in New Orleans as if some cat istr..phe had happened. No explosion hid taken place, however, uo suicide or ncrijental drowning bad occarred, but the cause of the gathering was no less fine of some interest An alligator—a real, scaly, huge monster—had suddenly ascended from the muddy depths of the Mississippi, and, crawling upon the wharf, coolly surveyed the animated panorama of our great thoroughfare lie was evidently a progressive alligator gifted with an investigating mina, and seemed to take great interest in the signs of advanced civilization which surrounded him. He basked lazily in in the sun, and after aw hile became fa miliarized enough with the scene to gain confidence, anil to advance a little near er to the levee. Just then, unfortunate ly, some one saw him, and exelamed. in h voice of terror, "An alligator !" Our amphibious friend's nerves were dis turbed by the cry, and making a right s'bout-face, he started at a shape pace for his native element. The people be tween him and the river scattered in all directions, while those lie hind attacked him with stones and bludgeons. The unfortunate visitor was knocked sense less. A big colored man tied a rope around his jaws and dragged him off, grinning triumphantly at the thought of what a fine pair of water-proof Ixiots he would have made out of the hide. The alligator was some ten feet long, and a rather dangerous customer to meet alone in a narrow path. A Swarm of Vs. The first American paper published on the Pacific coast was the Califomian, the first numl>er of which was issued at Monterey in the fall of 1846. The types aDd press once belonged to the Spanish | authorities and were used to print their public documents. Everything used was in a state of dilapidation, but it seemed to be of minor consideration as soon as it was possible to put forth a sheet containing letters, whether they were legible or not. Instead of w's two VT'S were used. In explanation of this the following appeared : "OUR ALPHABET— Our type is a Spanish font picked up herein a cloister, and has no W's (W's) in it, as there is none in the Spanish alphabet. I have sent to the Sandwich Islands for this letter, in the meantime we mnst use two Vs. Our paper at present is that used for wrapping cigars ; in due time we will have batter ; our objecLis to establish a press in Cali- and this in all probability we shgptf be able to accomplish. The ab #nce of my partner for the past three months, and my duties as Alcalde here have deprived our little paper of some j f those attentions which I hope it will hereafter reoerve. WALTRR COLTOR " j A l,c|er Village In Cj press. A traveler in I lie island of Oyprmw thus dfv-erilx-* a leper village; One j little el.imp of tree* on the plain two or i three mihw wt-at of Niooaia next at ' tracted my attention. It WM the leper ! village, 1 wn* t>li. aud we noon came MVIIM by the roadside a nort of impro vised tent H white, ragged sheet, j mounted on four scraggy sticks under neath wliieh notne equally attenuated l>s>kin. fellow mortals were huddled up. i These were leper beggar*, pursuing ! their usual custom and only pastime by ! which they can obtain brood to prolong j their miserable existence. They were ; nil Greeks, null a* we eloeely approached we could Invar their |*>or, weak voiovve begging for aome inouev. I UMMVI to them all the piastres I hod, observing at the same time a little ohihl a beau tiful child dressed in a long white wrapper, an.l standing on one ai.le of the tent My Turk ha.l ri.hleu quickly by, but 1 drew rem ami called the little one to ne. Half-licsitatingly she came. Her features were of that purely classic mould for which the t'ypriotc*of to day are not usually distinguished. She might have Iteeu mistaken for a master piece of rhidiaa, had it not lava for the delicate pink tint which added life to her fair complex IOU, the lnk of wonder ami surprise with which she regarded my appearance, and the sod, halt'-trem bling expression of the small, curved lijvs which parted to disclose her regular, pearly teeth, thui it lie jioaaible that she is a lepar, thought I. " What tio you do here, ohihl?' 1 aaked. " Must uot come uear to you," she replied .juietly, in Greek "I am ill, and aliall .lie some day." "So shall vre all," 1 said, tossing to hr the last bunch of grapes from my saddledvags. A great clamor arose among the weak voices iu the teut when they saw the little child eating gra|es, and all N-gg.-d and prayed me to give thew sotue. But wheu 1 told them I had uo more there came such a volley of tierce anathemas in the uaat unsympathetic Greek that 1 never can forget. 1 rode away, sickened ami saddened at the sight 1 had witnessed; and even now that awful sound ringing m my ears ami the sad upturned face of the little leper child at tiinea re turn to my memory with a depressing" influence. Some of the native opinions about 1 leprosy and conjectures as to its cause are carious. The leper children are in variably beautiful. Sometimes the fatal disease makes its apjiearauce in a child of good family residing iu the city, and it is at once sent o!T as an outcast to the leper village. None of the men or wo meu 1 saw by the roadside exhibited iu their faces anything more than the ema ciation .>f semi-starvation, but probably their liiul>a or bodies were gradually decaying, and truly "from hour to hour they rot aa I rot," until life itself is cx tiugu shed. Sometimea tliev linger many years. Sometimes the fatal spots do uot appear nutil they are thirty or forty years of age, aud then there is uo delay; l>e the infected one the father or mother of a respectable family, or a be loved member of it, they have to hear the city gates close tiehiud them forever and go forth as exiles to the village to await their slow, terrible death. The consequence is there are people of all .mate* and denominations iu these mys terious settlements, and they have their priests, pashas, cod jas and hadjia, who officiate in their respective callings. The common scourge .iocs uot make these people entirely united, as one would suppose. They have their dissensions and their cliques; these who depend upou their former ciiy friend* for their support are very exclusive; those who have no friends are compelled to beg by the way as we have seen. Cvmbati renews of Bird*. A parr of cat-bir.ls had their nest and young in a currant-hedge of the garden belonging to a farm-house where I was lodging one spring, and I used to amuse myself by exciting the anger of the mother-bird. To do this I had only to hang a bit of red cloth near her nest m her absence, and await the resnlt. No sooner would she return than such a twittering, and squeaking, end scolding, would begin as only a cat-bird could generate, and when she found out that there was "no fight '* in the rag, she would eye me sitting at \py window, and mew triumphantly, as if she well knew who it was bad thus troubled her equa nimity. A war of words—or, rather, a war of notes—is a thing of frequent oc currence between a cat-bird and the common brown thrush. Early in the morning through the mouth of May they may lie heard screaming their re spective medleys at the extreme pitch of their voices from neighboring tree*, each songster maliciously lient on drown ing the others' voice. The common baru-yard cock is given to a like ambi tion in the matter of " crowing down " all oomjietitors. Speaking of the brown thrush reminds me that I ought to record here A very singular combat, witnessed by myself and brother, be t ween one of these gay singers and a bine jay i what bird is not compelled to fight the latter?), and in which the jay was finally discomfited and Waten. We were lying iu the shade of a wide spreading wild-plum tree on the edge of a little glade. Near ns was a clnmp of sugar-haw bashes, in one of which we had discovered a brown thrush's uest. The bird was incubating. A bine-jay, flitting abont on mischief intent, as, in fact, a blue-jay always is, happened to spv her, and immediately attacked her, driving her for refnge into the thick, thorny foliage above the nest. This seemed an easy turn for the jay, which at once prepared to have a feast of the eggs. But uo sooner had it perched on the nm of the nest than the thrush, with a savage squall, plunged down from its hiding-place, ana struck it a heavy blow on the bark. The jay retreated in dis order, but warily returned again when all seemed still." With infinite caution in every movement, it hopped from twig to twig, turning'its crested head this wav and that, till it reached the nest. Again, with a shrill scream, the thrush pounced from its hiding-place, using its long, sharp beak for a sword to stab the jav's exjiosed and defenseless back. Again and again the would-be robber fled and returned, each time to get ronarher usage; and, finally, as if nt terly outdone, with rapidly repeated cries of "De-jay I de-jay! de-jay!" it flitted away into the depths of the woods, to coma no more.— Ajtplrfmi't Journal. An Industrie#* Huhemhin. There is a young man in New York who writes lectures for women, adapts plays for stars, writes advertising pamphlets for mercantile and drag stores, writes poetical advertisements, ! blood and thunder stories and dime novels. He has a regular scale of prices, undertakes his work in a most job-like manner and has reduced the art of worda to the most practical principles. His scale of prices for his work is very sys tematic and very .reasonable. He charges SIOO for a lecture, SSO for an art or n play, from SSO to SIOO for n pamphlet, according to its length ; from glO to $25 for a circular, from $25 to SIOO for a poem advertisement, accord ing to th number of poems in the lot; from $8 to $lO a column for a news paper story, and from SSO to $250 for a novel, according to its length. This j Bohemiau is not only clever but con scientious, and he always complies with all the terms of his contract. He has no desire to l>e known as an author at all. He works, as he says, "for cash, not credit." If he does not get his money he makes a stir till he gets it, but be never violates his agreements. All his works are supposed to be written by others. That is to say, all bnt his advertising pamphlets and circulars. His lectures have been delivered by others, but he never for a moment has betrayed their real authorship, and, on several occasions, it is said, he has flatly denied knowing anything whatever about his own productions and has de \ liberately testified that they were writ ten by the parties for whem he wrote j them.

IX A HEX OF RATTLESNAKE*. The Trrrlbl* Uirsiarr •( a Brbaal Ulrl la IkP louni*lna. A voung lady in this .nty, says the Healing i l'a.) Aiij/fc, has received the following letter (roiu her friend who is at boarding-school, giving a thrilling account of her adventure with a huge rattlesnake; LH:vu MA.HIIK Three wi*>ks ago Ves ter, lay atteruoon two voting ladies ln>- sides myself, who ha.\ gone out in a walking party with one of the teachers at the sehtHil iu this place, strolled off from the rest of the party, and, l.vaing our way, were unable for aome time to toll whore we were, as the wood* and underwood were so thick that the fur ther we peuetrat.sl it the more difficult our passage leoanie. We wandered to and fro, and for a long time, until al ru.ist overcome with fatigue, when we sat down on a huge boulder to recover our I* ist strength. leHikiug at our watches we found that we had been on the mountain nearly six hours, and felt hungry, distressed and tired. It was a I Hint five o'clock in the afternoon, and twilight was fast approach lug. "lili, but for something to eat," mv com panion said, " ami then we could strug gle on aud trv to flud the a'linnl again." She appeared to la* the picture of dee pair. We were sitting some feet alnivo the ground alongside of a huge ■ • tk trie, and presently 1 felt something moving ou my neck. 1 placed mv hand to mv neck to remove it, when, horrible to re late, 1 grasped something touud and soft, which hissed like an adder. 1 tried to pull it from my mvk, but it wriggled and squirmed, and my companion, see ing the monster ou my body, shrieked and almost fainted. Jiint at that mo ment the head made a dart at my hrc*t, with mouth wide ojieu aud tongue clou gated, and hissing a death-like and hor rible sound. My left hand was al>out six inches from its Lead, and. in order to prevent lieiug bitten, I gra|>ed it right behind the eves Willi luy right hand. Holding it in this way for sev eral seconds, my com|auion shrieked to me to throw the snake from me. I tried to do so, but was pow erlosa, being, us it seemed to me, transfixed or charmed to . the jKt by the horrid eyes of the mon ster. I trnxl to talk, but my jaws would u>t open, aud my tongue appeared stiff. T felt the cold sweat trickling down my back, and large drop* of perspiration SUHSI out on ijy forehead. My fa-e was as white as the driven snow, and 1 could neither move nor talk, but accrued to be as stiff as a It makes me ahn.lder, as 1 write, to think of the stare of the reptile. Annie, my companion, seeing my dan gerous situation, screamed for help. She seemed to have l>een bereft of rea son, for instead of coming to my assist ance she started to run away. Trying to turn my head to see whither she had gone, the eye* of the snake were also directed in the direction in which Annie was shrieking. From that moment the snake's spell ou me was broken, aud with all my might 1 hurled it from rue. No sooner had the snake lauded ou the ground than 1 ran with the fleetuees of a deer, fearing that it would overtake me. Judge of my feelings w-heu, al most out of breath and ready to sink down to the earth from sheer exhaustion, I turned around aud fouud a snake with three others several paces from me, in hot pursuit. I rcmemWrcd that snakes were afraid of anything red. Fortunate ly having on a red skirt, I immediately cxjaawxl it to the reptiles' view, and they at once stopped the pursuit. I advanced toward them, shaking my red skirt, and they retreated. I gathetixl up stones and threw at them and kilhxl the largeet one, and the other* eta-aped through the rocks. Ju* at this moment a deputa tion from the school, who had lieen iu search of us, came up. The large snake that hail coiled itself around my neck was found by the escort, aud it mea sure* nine feet aud four iuclies. Herror> of Viberian (Julrkllier Sines. Au English paper savs : The exiles who live in the Siberian mines are con victs ot the worst type and political of fenders of the best. The murderer for his villainy, the intelligent Polish relnd for his patriotism, are deemed equally worthy of the punishnieut of slow death. They never see the light of .lay, but work and sleep all the year round iu the depths of the earth, extracting silver or quicksilver under the eyes of taskmasters who have orders not to spare them. Iron gates, guarded by sentries, dose to the lodes, or streets, at the bottom of the shafts, and the miners are railed off from one another in gangs of twenty. They sleep within recesses hewn out of the rucks—very kenuels—into which they creep on all-fours. Prince J.wepli Lubo mitski, who was authorized to visit one of the mines of tha Oural at a time wheu it was not suspected he would ever pub lish au account of hiH exploration in French, has given an appalling account of what he saw. Convicts racked with joint-pains which quicksilver produce* ; men whose hair and eyebrows iia.l drop lied off, uud who were gaunt as skeletons were kept to hard labor tinder the laah. They have only two holidays a vear, Christmas and Easter; and all other days, Sundays included, they must toil until exhausted nature robs them of the uaeof their limbs, when they are hauled up to die in the infirmary. Five years in the quicksilver pits are enough to turn a man of thirty into an apparent sexaggenarian, but some have been known to struggle on for ten years. N"o man who has served in the mines is ever allowed to return home ; the most he can obtain in the way of grace is leave to come np and work in tlis gangs, and it is the promise of this favor as a reward for industry which operates even more than the lush to maintain discipline. Women are employed in the mines as sifters, and pet no licttcr treatment than the men. Polish ladies by the dozen have been sent down to rot and die, while the St Petersburg journals were declar ing that they were living as free colonists: and, more recently, ladies connected with Nihilist conspiracies hnve been con signed to the mines in pursuance of a sentence of hard lalior. It must always be understood that a sentence of Siberian hard latsir means death. The Russian Government well knows that to live for years in the atrocions tortures of the miues is humanly impossible, and, con sequently, the use of a euphemism to replace the term capital punishment is merely of a piece with the hypocrisy of all official statements in Russia. Once a week a poj>e, himself an exile, goes down into the mines to liear the consolations ot religion, under the form of a sermon, enjoining patience. Honey.Bec and Music It lias been asserted that iusectM do not hear, upon no better foundation than that entomologists have been some what at lost to find organs which corres pond to ears in other and larger animals, The following from the London Sews, has u direct bearing upon the subjuct and seems to point to an affirmative an swer to the question. The question whether tiec* linve the power of hearing is a mooted one among naturalists. Sir John Lnbbock has tried experiments with his bees in order to elucidate the matter. Thus he lias played the violin close to his bea, he has tried a dog whistle, a shrill pipe, a tuning fork and shouting, bnt no noise seemed to disturb them in the least. Nevertheless, a canons occurrence took place a few days since at Windsor. Col. Stewart, commanding officer Second Life Guards, reports that a few days since, when the regiment was returning down the Long Walk from a field day, a swarm of bees attracted, by the music, followed the regiment into barracks, flying aliout over the heads of the band. On arriving at the barrack-yard the band formed up to plav the regiment into barracks; the bees followed their exam- Cle, formed up also and settled on a ranch of a tree over the heads of the bandsmen. They were at once taken prisoners by the corporal of the guard, and are now hived in the barrack yard. The distance over which the bees fol , lowed the band was more than a mile. We have heard of spelling bees, but these are musical bees with a vengeance. It is a common practice in the country j to collect been by means of rattling a ' warming pan with a piece of iron, or shaking a stone in a tin kittle, and the idea that bees will follow sounds is as old as Virgil.— Rural New Yorker. 4'urlou* Habit* of liraxahoppoi'*.

Tho rule, then, is this : For a draught house, a circular but deep chest; but, as you pass through the different degrees of speed, up to tho raoer and trotter, tho ehest will increase in depth, compared to its roundness, until, for the highest rate of speed, yhi must take a chest as deep as a greyhound, and at the same time not lacking in strength."
