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

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.

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

There is a young man in New York

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

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.

earth should stop spinning aronnd the inn f
Were yon ever near a large and intrioate in
chlne when one of its wheels tieosme clogged
or broken near enough to bear tbe graUng,
jarring clash, the sndden, deafening crash ?
Astronomers assure ns tbat precisely similar
effects, nnlvonan Inconceivably grander scale
would be produced If our eartn one oi me
wheels In the universe-machine - shoull sud
denly cease its revolutions. In other words
tlon
there would be a general clash and crash of
satellites, planets, ana systems. vr dbi we ierm
financial crises are due to similar causes. One
of the wheels in the finanoe-maohine booomes
clogged, perhaps shattered. The terrible Ws'l
street " crash " which follows is communicated
to every part ot the financial mechanism of (he
country. But analogies do not stop here.
There Is that other meohanUm, tbe most intri
cate of all sometimes called an organism be
oaune it generates its own forces the human
maenwe. w nen one oi us nieni tiers ibiib to
perform itsofiioo, the whole system is thrown
nto disorder. IM em dots neiore considered un
available, break down nnder the unnatural
pressure. The shock comes, 'and utter pros-
ration ia the result. Reparation oan on'y be
effected by the restoration of the impaired
parts and tne re-adjustment or its levers, me
physical forces. There is one part of the ma
chine more liable to disorder than any other,
the liver. the great balance wheel of the ma
chine. The liver being the great depurating
or blood cleanninsr organ of the system, set it
at work and tbe foul corruotions wnicu gen
der in the blood, and rot out, as It were, the
machinery of life, are m-adnallv excelled from
the system. For this purpose I)r. Tierce's
Anldnd Medical Discovery, used daily, and Dr,
Pieroe's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, taken in
tai-v small doses are nre-eminently the articles
needed, rney cure every auia oi uuuior iruui
the worst scrofula to 'the common pimple,
blotch or ernptiou. Groat eating ulcers
kindly heal under their mighty enratiye influ
ence. Virulent blood poisons that mrK in tne
avntem are bv them robbed of their terrors.
and by their persevering and somewhat pro-
ti-jntAri hha t.hA mnai-. tainted systems may do
completely renovated and built up anew. En
larged viands. Iiimnrn and swellings dwindle
away and disannear under the influence of
these great resolvents.
