IX THE HEART OP JAPAN. The Blast titnttto In the Wnrld-A Bell hut has Not keea Haas la Twolvs Bai rd Yean. A letter dated Kioto, Japan, gays! We tre now In the heart of Japan. This oity was for many centuries the mikado's oipital, nnJ nntil ten year ago, wlieu the overthrow of the sliozun left the capital of that ruler de facto open, its greater advantages led thfl mikado and his oabinet to occupy it. This old capi tal, at one time with a population oaid to have been 2,000,000, is now rednoed to 150,000. I arose early, and was glad to llud a olenr morning. I walked out nt ft side door of the inn, aud found my self in one of the approaches to a Shinto temple. I was almost under one of the granite touii, or monuments. This one is about sixty feet high, aud four stone lanterns at the corners of the square are of great size, and older than any I have yet seen. Just m the sun was ris ing above the eastern bill, I watched the men and women as they came in front of the open temple door, and threw their offerings in. Then clapping their hands they fold them, bow the head in devo tion, and go away to the duties of the day. For a moment the temple was deserted, and a man came out with his face turned full to the rising sun the temple faced the south he went through the same devotional exercises that I had just seen, but he remained longer, bowed with lite head to the ground, and exhib ited more fervor. We have visited several temples situ ated on the hillsides, on the east side of the plain on which the city is spread out The oldest and largest is known as the Chionin, and belongs to the Joudo sect. It is very large, measuring in front over 200 feet. This seot never paint their temples, and this one presents a dreary aspeot of weather-stained wood. Its age is given as 270 years only, and it occu pies the site of an older one destroyed hy fire. Stone steps lead to the bell tower, where hangs the great bell, said to be the largest iu Japan. It is sounded only on the 12th and 2Cth of each month. It is suspended about seven feet above the ground. The metal at its rim is eleven inohes in thickness. Wb saw an- other bell in size little less near the site of another temple, resting on granite supports, on the ground, near where it foil. The bridge leading to a mountain temple is of great beauty. It has two arches, and each aroh double: one in verted under the other, so that the pas sages form circles. The whole, includ ing the balustrade, is of cut granite. In strong contrast with their religious es tablishments is the architecture of the town. The streets are narrow aud un paved, the houses small and squalid, and poverty is written everywhere. we nave just returned from a visit to Kara, one of the old capitals of the em pire, distant about thirty-six miles. We drove at a brisk trot for an hour before a break occurred in the line of houses, when we crossed a branch of the Uji river, by a bridge about a thousand feet long. We entered a long street of what was once, a thousand years ago, a great city. Away up the slope of the hill it is covered, wherever we went, with walls and pavements as indestructible as the hill itself. Granite stairs lead into the wild forest, which now covers the site of vast temples of wood broad avenues, whose rocky pavement was worn smooth by the feet of devout pilgrims before Christ was born. Here was erected, 1,200 years ago, the largest brouze figure the world has ever known. It weighs 450 tons, and the third temple now covers it, without ap parent injury to the immense statue. We went around it, but could form no estimate of its size. Our minister at Tokio told me that it was sixty feet from the seat of lotus leaves to the top of its head, and that a man could climb through the nostril. An officer, is said to have .taken a chip of the casting, and an an alysis of it gave 600 pounds of gold in tbe alloy. A great halo of gilded wood sets off the dark features as they are re vealed in the shadows of the roof. To-day we rode to Lake Bewa, distant about seven miles, and our route lay along the great Tokaido. The road ia about twenty feet wide, well mnenrtam ized, with the inevitable walled ditch on either side. It is the (treat thoroughfare from Osaka to Tokio, and from the lake to Kioto it was a continuous stream of travel, many oattle, and a few horses laden with goods of every description. We entered the town 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 in tne siae or tne mountain, and turned to look upon the largest lake in Japan. It is sixty miles in length, but narrow nt the south end. It is surroundod by rich alluvial lands. Our guide next led us to see a bell, which, be told us, had not been rung in twelve hundred years. and pointed to a small wooden building at the head of a flight of wide stone steps. We looked in through the wooden bars, well worn by curious visitors, and saw, well supported on a strong wooden table, a boll about four feet high, with a bad crack, which seemed to have been caused by fire. It hod on it a few plain ngures as ornaments. Our cuide in formed us that it was seventeen hundred years old, and that it had hung in an an cient Shinto temple that once stood where it now lien. For five hundred years its tones floated over the placid lake, and called the people along its snores to worship. Then came a catas trophe, and twelve centuries have passed. An Unexpected Visitor. Some time ago a large and excited crowd of citizens rushed to one of the wharves in New Orleans as if some cat astrophe bad happened. No explosion bod taken place, however, no suicide or occidental drowning had occurred, but the cause of the gathering was no less one of some interest. An alligator a real, scaly, huge monster bad suddenly ascended from the muddy depths of the Mississippi, and, crawling upon the wharf, coolly surveyed the animated panorama of our great tboronhface He was evidently a progressive al.igator gifted with an investigating minu, and seemed to take great interest in the signs of advanced civilization . which surrounded him. He basked lazily in in the sua, and after a while became fa miliarized enough with the scene to gain confidence, and to advance a little near er to the levee. Just then, unfortunate ly, some one saw him, and exclamed, in a veioe of terror, "An alligator 1" Our amDhibious friend's nerves were dis turbed by the cry, and making a rightabout-face, he started at a shape'pace for bis native element The people be tween him and the river scattered in all directions, while those behind 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 boots he would have made out of the hide. The alligator was some ten feet long, and a rath er daugerons customer to meet alone (a t narrow patb, BUFFALO HCJiTISG. How BnA'alora are Killed In Manitoba SMinamy Monsters with Impenetrable Beads. A correspondent writes from Manitoba, British America, to the New York Sun, tellinghow buffaloes are hunted in that re gion. He says: The hunt at this season of the year is generally for robes; but the scarcity of provisions necessitates the sav ing of much of the meat which, at other times, would become the prey of the wol ves. In buffalo robes the season makes a great difference. Before November the hair is not long enough, and after New Year's ay it gets ragged, and its rich black brown is bleached to the color of tow, especially along the animal's back. The robes are generally taken from the cows, some, times from the young bulls, but never from the old bulls, whose bides are much too thick nnd heavy. The skins are usually split down the back in dressing, being too bulky to handle easi ly in one piece. 9ho process of tanning is left entirely in the hands of the Indian women, one squaw being supposed ca pable of dressing ten hides per year. The skins retained by the Indians for their own use are dressed much more beauti fully, and are in every way superior to those sold to the traders. As a general rule buffalo are hunted during the winter months by stalking them on foot. By this method the hunter takes advantage of every depression in the prairie, of bushes, snow-drifts, any thing that will conceal his body, to ap proach within shooting distance of the herd. And it is a very satisfactory mode of hunting, when you are not charged by some old bull, only to find yourself with an empty gun and no means of getting out of the way. I recall an ino'dent of this nature which occurred .to me while hunting some time since near the Indian Elbow. I shouldered my rifle one morning and walked a mile or two alone into the prairie on the chance of shooting a fat cow. The only herd I could get near was feeding in the open plain, but a slight undulation enabled me to get within fifty yards; nearer I could not go, being already just on the edge of the wind. The cows, unluckily, were on the further side, a good fifty paces beyond the bulls; still I thought it possible to kill one. Before I had got fair aim, however, they took the alarm and began to move off, upon which I rather too hastily fired both barrels at them. I found myself in trouble at once. The old bulls, instead of moving off, too, re mained on the spot, bellowing, pawing the ground, and looking fiercely about them. It was the season when they are especially savage and dangerous. . I could not load while stretched flat on the turf; if I raised myself in the least I came into view; if I lay still I was equally sure to be discovered, ow ing to a shift in the wind, which now blew toward them. After a moment s thought I resolved to load at all haz ards; so, getting everything ready, I raised myself and began to load one barrel as quickly as possible. The buf faloes must have seen me, but as none of them showed symptoms of charging 1 grew bolder. Taking deliberate aim, I fired at the nearest one. As soon as the smoke cleared away, I saw my game give a convulsive start, move off a short distance and then stop, while all his companions ran away. Thinking he was done for, I walked slowly toward him. No sooner, however, did be catch sight of me than, to my utter astonishment, up went his tail and down went his head, and he came at me like a shot. Here was a pretty situation I Not a piece of cover the size of one's hand to fly to. I ran for it, but he took three steps to my one. Seeing he was close on me I tried to dodge him. I swerved suddenly to one side to escape the shock. But it was no use; I failed in the at tempt. To my horror he bolted around more quickly than I did. I had barely time to turn sideways, as I met bis charge, in hopes of getting between his horns, when be came plump against me with a shock like a battering ram. it was like being bit with a sofa cushion shot from a cannon. My gun was broken to pieces by one horn, aud my clothes torn by the other. I went sailing into mid-air. I landed at last, falling iu the snow, while my huge assailant subsided in a snowdrift a little beyond. I was not the least hurt, the force of the tre mendous blow being perfectly deadened by the enormous mass of wool, fur and hair that clothed his shaggy headpiece. A full-grown bull is immensely shag gy, especially about the head, which is covered with such a vast quantity of hair, fur and wool banging down over his eyes and almost concealing his horns, as to give it the appearance of being fully one-third the size of the whole body. To shoot at the bead of a bull wearing this heavy cushion of hair as a helmet, is a sheer waste of ammunition. It hs no more effect than firing at a stone wall. I once foutd out this while hunting an old bull, very thin aud sick' ly, hardly able to move. It was a mercy to save him from the cruelty of tne wolves so, as he had to die, I rode past him and gave him a shot for practice sake a buffalo's strange form making him a puzzling mark for a beginner. But placed it too high, as one is always apt to do, and it merely dropped him on bis knees. I then dismounted, and, walk ing close up to him. fired both barrels of a smooth-bore gun right at the center of his forehead. It was as though a clod of earth had struck bim. The bull re mained in the same position, glaring at me with savage eves : tne densely mat ted hair on his thick skull had complete ly defied the penetrative force of smooth bore. I then went to a oomrade and borrowed an Enfield rifle. At the first shot the conical bullet passed clear through hair and bone, and the old buf falo rolled over dead. The cow is swifter than the bull; but fleetest of all is the ox, though they are not often met witn. 1 recall with inter est a chase which one led me over the Qu' Appelle plains some time since, bad started out to get a large and perfectly unblemished neau as a trophy to send home to a friend. The plains were alive as far as the eye could reach, and bands of buffalo were streaming past me on every side, suddenly i ODservea tne very specimen I wanted. It was one of those exceedingly fine, sleek, round-barreled oxen, larger than any in the herd, and with long, perfect horns and a most luxuriant mane and tail. As these cattle are rare, besides being the best for meat, I began to run him. For two miles or more I stuck to bim, but could not come within shooting distance. All the while I rode in the midst of a vast mass of buffaloes; for as I went on the scattered bands seemed more and more to unite, and I found myself moving iu a sort of triangular enclosure with living walls around me; the nearer animals strove to edge away on either hand, while the ranks were closed in front, and ever-increasing numbers came thun dering on in the rear. So long as the horse kept bis footing, however, there was no danger. T How they did run I But at last my OX began to slacken speed, By what strange instinot be knew that I bad chosen bim for my Victim, who can tell? The came band were still together ! bis companions were all with bim ; not one had yet quitted their ranks; aud yet, with a sudden movement he sprang out from among them, and broke away by himself, rushing off at right angles through the crowd, and seeming to gather fresh speed as he ran. It was only for a time, however j he abruptly checked himself, faced around, end stood at bay. I closed ou him, trying for a flank shot, Down went bis bead on he came in full charge. Knowing the uselesRness of firing at a buffalo's forehead, I cantered out of the way ; he followed me a few yards, then resumed his course, Another mile, and again he slackened, breaking into a trot as he drew near the top of a gentle eminence, and there took up bis stand and onoe more eame to bay. I approached till but a few yards were between us ; then up went bis tail in sign of battle, and down went his head for a charge. But this time I was too quick. The horse slipped round bim, and before be could make one step, I sent a bullet into his heart. He stopped, staggered and fell. Combatirenesi of Birds. A pafr of cat-birds bad 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 in her absence, and await the result. No sooner would she return than such a twitteriug. and squeaking, and scoldincr. would begin as only a cat-bird could o""" " luuiiu "it" ku there was "no fight" in the rsg, she would eye me sitting at my window, and mew triumphantly, as if she well knew who it was had 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 commou brown thrush. Early in the morning through the month of May they may be heard screaming their re spective medleys at the extreme pitch of their voices from neighboring trees, each songster maliciously bent on drown ing the others' voice. The common barn-yard cock is given to a like ambi tion in the matter of " crowing down " all competitors. Speaking of the brown thrush reminds me that ought to record here a very singular combat, witnessed by myself and brother, be tween one of these gay singers and a blue jay (what bird is not compelled to fight the latter ?), and in which the jay was finally discomfited and beaten. We were lying in the shade of a wide spreading wild-plum tree on the edge of a little glade. Near us was a clump of sugar-haw bushes, in one of which we had discovered a brown thrush's nest. The bird was incubating. A blue-joy, flitting about on mischief intent, as, in fact, a blue-jay always is, happened to spy her, and immediately attacked her, driving her for refuge 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 no sooner had it perched on the rim of the neBt than the thrush, with a savage squall, plunged down from its hiding-place, and struck it a heavy blow on the back. The lay 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 creBted head this way 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 jay s exposed and defenseless back. Again and again the would-be robber fled and returned, each time to get roncrher unace : and. finallv. as if ut terly outdone, with rapidly repeated cries of "De-jay I de-jay I de-jay 1" it flitted away into the depths of the woods, to come no more. Applvton's Journal, An Industrious Bohemian. There is a young man in New York who writes lectures for women, adapts plays for stars, writes advertising pamphlets for mercantile and drug stores, writes poetical advertisements, blood and thunder storieB 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 words to the most piactical principles. His scale of prices for his work is very sys tematic and very reasonable. He charges $100 for a lecture, $50 for an act or a play, from 850 to 100 tor a pamphlet, according to its length ; from ttlO to $25 for a circular, from 825 to S100 for a poem advertisement, accord' ing to the number of poems in the lot ; from $3 to 810 a column for a news paper story, and from $50 to $250 for a novel, according to its length. This Bohemian is not only clever but con scientious. and he always complies with all the terms of his contract. Me has no desire to be known as an author at alL He works, as he says, " for cash, not credit." If be does not get bis money he makes a stir till he gets it, but be never violates his agreements. All bis works are supposed to be written by others. That is to say, all but 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, be has flatly denied knowing anything whatever about bis own productions and has de liberately testified that they were writ ten by the parties for whem he wrote them. This peculiar and rare self- abnegation proves very profitable to bim, as bis customers depend absolute ly and confidently upon bis secrecy, This dispenser of fame for others is still a young man. and. though the most energetic, is far from being the solitary example of his ca)ss in New York.

Zeal w)tt)Qut knowledge is pre without Ugutj ' Are Sharks Man-Enters, A correspondent of th) San Francisco Chronicle writes : Notioing a statement in you issue of the 81 instant to the ef fect that one of the fish commissioners Mr. Bedding had flatly denied the man-eating propensities of the shark, of any species, and as I happen to be cog nizant of a ease which I think will settle the question in regard to the propensi ties of at least one species of the shark, I send you an occouut of it. The victim of the occasion was a seaman by the name of Martin, one of the crew of the United States ship Saratoga. During a cruise of that ship on the west coast of Africa in the year 1844, while taking on water at St. Thomas, a small island sit uated on the equator, about 300 miles from the African coast, Martin met bis death, whioh was witnessad by at least two-thirds of the ship's crew, who hap pened to be on deck at the time of its occurrence. The ship's barge was com ing off from shore to the ship. Having smooth water and a good breeze she was using her sails instead of her oars, and bowling along at a fair rate of speed. When she arrived at the proper position Martin, the coxawain, put his helm hard down, to sheer the boat alongside of the ship, and in doing so pressed too heavily on me tuier, When it broke, causing him to lose bis balance and fall overboard. The boat, being under sail, could not be stopped readily, leaving? Martin in the water. He being an expert swimmer no danger was apprehended of bis drown ing. The officer on duty ordered a boat to go and pick him up. Just then the cry of shark I was heard, and the dorsal fin of one of those dreaded fish armeared above the surface of the water, in close proximity to the swimmer. Then fol- lowed a few moments of terrible suspense io me spectators, who cased at the mon ster circling around its victim. But the suspense was of short duration, for, after swimming around the man two or three times, it turned and swam directly for mi i .... mm. ine norror or that moment sends a chill to my heart to this day when I recall it. One short, sharp, despairing cry irom cue swimmer and the cruel laws of the monster closed upon him and silenced bim forever. The shark lashed the water into foam with bis tail, then it disappeared below the surface. A bloody patch of water and a hat floatinar on the surface was all that was left to mark the spot where a moment before was a powerful swimmer battling with the watery element. From the fore going experience I have arrived at the conclusion that whatever may be the propensities of the shark of San Fran cisco bay, the ground shark found with in the tropics are decidedly man-eaters when they get a chance to indulge in that sort of diet. There is a species of shark found in the China sea and around the Indian islands, called by Bailors, the white shark, which is a very voracious fish, and I Lave heard some tough stories of their accomplishments in the man eating line , but as I have never seen these sharks I cannot vouch for the stories. The blue-water shark that is the sharks that live altogether in deep sea. away from land, are said to be harm' less. I have often heard of whalemen being overboard among them, from hav ins; their brats capsized or stove, but have never heard of any of them being molested by the sharks. To the readers of the Chronicle I would soy, Jnever trust to the generosity of a shark, no matter under what came or species he is known the fish commissioners to the contrary notwithstanding. Wise Before the Event." A poor' woman, says the Sheffield (Eng.) Telegraph, lay very ill in her scantijy-iurnisiiea nome in ouemeiu The doctor was sent for and came, He at once saw that hers was a very grave case, and that she had, as he thought, little change oi recovery even if she could get the nourishment her illness required. As he-was about to leave, the Question was put " When should we send :or you again doctor?" ' Well, " was the reply, as he looked at the poor woman, and then at the wretched surroundings,"! don't think yon need send for me again. She can not possibly get better ; and to save you further trouble I'll just write you out a certificate for her burial." And he did. After the doctor de parted, the woman got better repidly. She has now completely recovered, and goes about carrying her burial cer tificate with her.
