TEE JAPANESE law weeks ago two regularly accred lled Ambassadors were presented to and reeelied by the Xing of the' Sandwich Islands, with &lithe diplomatic formalities canal at the corals of European sovereigns and at our own White House. The ad dresses on both sides were neat, terse and to thin point, and perfectly free from Ori entil and bulimic poinp and - extrava• genes. The object of the embassy Is to enter Into a treaty mutually advantageous to the two high contracting parties, and His Hawaiian Majesty was pleased to as• sure the representatives of the Mikado that his subjects should be treated with all the justice and consideration extended to those of "the mast favOred nations." The Secretary of the American Legation re. signed his post and tWCame the Secretary of the Japanese Ambassadors. When w.o think who these parties are who are thus seeking friendly commercial 'relations, it seems more like a phantas. pagoda than a veritable fact which has 'transpired In the regular promisee( human events: Men yet in fa vigor remember ;the time when the ancestors of this Sand• !widi Island king were savages and canni. :ball; now he reigns in peace over a gentle, educated, Christian periple; while only a few years ago Japan was jealously shut against all Christian nations, except one Dutch shiji once Year; now It is open, 'and its people are beginning to flow out, foreigners are permitted to enter freely, and 'Christian tuitions are represented at Its Court. - The Japanese have been called the Yankees of Asia. In the arts, In domes tin comfort, in shrewdnesi and quickness of perception, they are much in advance of their neighbors of China. They are beginning to emigrate, and form settle. meats and establish business houses in various parts of the world; and the diplo matte relations just established with the Sandwich Islands have been entered Into with an eye to badness. Many have set. tied. In California, principally in the southern part, where they are engaged In the culture of seml-troplcal fruits, the rearing of silk worms, in merchandising, and various other forms of Industry. Unlike the Chinese, few if any of them engage as servants or laborers, but seem Inclined to do bushiest; on their own se count. In this trait their resemblance to the Yankees of Hew- England is most strikingly manifested. ••UOEUIC ♦ STUMPY ROW.,, The Armstrong Repubiteen taints the following letter which was written to its editor, Dome months since, by the very nice man who has just been chosen for State Treasurer.

New Styles In bliawle. = Codeine. for street wear are elegant, WA these of velvet are trimmed with bands of far or guipure lace. 'A new style, men he the stre4 very recently, Is dregs of myrtle•green gros-grain silk, with narrow liounces on the skirt. There is no overskirt, end the corsage Ls plain and sleeves close. .White linen collar and cuffs are worn with the dresi. A black velvet bisque, the skirt medium long, is trimmed With a wide band of fur that puma around the neck; aild the silk lining Is finished by a narrow flitting of satin that can be seen upon the edge o the fnr. The fluting passes around the neck also, and rests upon thelinen collar, the neck of the bisque being low. The velvet sleeves, open to the shoulder, are long and wide, falling over the arm, and are trimmed with for to match the skirt. A small bonnet, with a coronal of lace and green satin rolls, has a black ostrich plume crossing the top and drooping at onside. On the other side Is an aigrette and a scarf of black lace, which, passing across the lower part of the chignon, is caught at each side by a bow of green satin ribbon. This bonnet completes the i costume. • A street suit of purple velvet has a wide, flat plaited flounce around the edge of the I skirt, and above thin two rows of deep fringe, headed by silk folds. The tunic and pelerine cape are trimmed to match, and there are two silk bows on the back of the cape. The silk belt has large-bows and-loops. The sleeves' are close, with wide cuffs, and the bonnet wom with this scut Is of purple velvet, with scarlet roses and green leaves. 'Lena of fine cloth, In the fashionable brown, has the gored skirt trimmed with a wide flounce (or what appears to be one) that is made of strips of the mate rial, scolloped and bound with narrow velvet, and set on upright, with a baud of velvet running around the skirt at the top. A. scolloped band with velvet but. tons is set on the front, and continued up the close corsage. The sleeves are trim. mcd at the hand by bands of velvet, scol loped on the edge, with buttons in the centre. There is a tunic and peltsine cape, both open in front and trimsed to correspond. The belt is of cloth, bound with velvet, and joined at the back be neath a large bow. The bonnet worn with this suit is of black velvet and lace, with a trailing spray of violet and golden pansies ar the side. Another elegant walking cult is of brown silk. The skirt has a deep flounce at on by a fluted heading in large scot lops. with a black velvet bow In each scollop. Upon the plain, high c , rsage bretells are arranged so as to pass under the bell, and extsnding 'down upon the skirt, simulate semen mantle edged with narrow fluting and lace. The buttons of the corsage are velvet, and the alcoves are trimmed to correspond. 111 col:lemma And the arrangement of the hair are ha portant on aa dress occasions. A very pretty headdress, to be worn with a toilet of white, is formed of a wreath of white marguerites, crossing the hair fa form of bands, and allowing a few trailing vines to droop among the curls falling at the back. The coiffure for matronly married ladies is comported of puffs of velvet, or lace with flowers of feathers and jewels; for the young lady, bands of pearls, or wreaths of flowers, and buds with half grown testes. With such a headdress, the hair 13 raised from off the forehead, and then falls in rippling waves or long curls over the neck and shoulders. A prevailing style of arranging the hair is to wave it in front with papera,_ and comb that on the sides toward the top. The back hair is then combed high and formed in a plait, and the left aide ar ranged in firm loops quite high but irreg. ular in size; long curls at the back; and a flower, feather and an aigrette ornament I the plait on the right 'aide. A becoming j way of arranging - the hair, when the forehead is high, is with small curls in I front that fall carelessly; large rolls upon Ithe top of the head, and two loosely t twisted rolls low at the back, with a chis- L ter of roses st the crown. =I:I Are mach used for street wraps and car riage wear, and often folded or draped in odd forms. The style introduced last autumn, of arranging the shawl to repre sent a mantle by plaits, back and front, that confined it at the belt, and, falling loosely over the arms, looked like one with pointa front and back, became com mon- for a brief time, and so was ruled out by the graceful bunions. Now some inventive Build= genius has brought out a new style attractthe for Its novelty. In Paris the long India shawl is draped over the left arm in folds, where it Is held by a band of velvet; It Is then brought around In front and thrown over the right shoulder, where it is clasped by a bow of velvet. • The Cbtneso New Year If one would see the bright Side of Ce lestial life; he should ramble among the habitations of the respectable Chinamen during the New Tear's Acclivities. You can then get a good Insight into their so cial ideas and witness rational enjoyment. .In this city the fuss and flatter, cracker firing and paper-burning incident to the inauguration of the holidays, have pored away, but the remnants of the jubilee ex plosives scattered in front of the large stores, canoe pangs of jealousy- in the breast of Young America and give one some idea of the amount of powder burn ed on the occasion. The boxes and bales in the front store are moved into the rear, in order to make ample room for visitors, and seats are arranged alongide the' sides of the apartment The proprietors and employee don their holidaygarb, arrange their light reireshmenta on a stand at the rear of the store, and prepare for the re ception of visitors. The refreshments are not gotten up very elaborately, that Is, the light one" and the visitor is ex pected to partake sparingly of them. In most instances they consist of dates, red plums. Chinese figs, rock candy, and various kinds of Chinese can. dy, arranged in• d small wooden tray. In the centre of the tray is a email compartment . filled With watermelon seeds. A plum fig, seed or Mt of candy le eaten, a cup of tea or glass of wine is drank, and these seise: is tendered, prob. ably to mist digesting the heavy repast. This is a little improvement on the Amer ican New Year's calls, when one is tempted by bright eyes and whining smiles to transform himself into • walking confectionary and bakery, If not a liquor saloon. Each house has a number of cards Fainted in Chinese, and when the inmates make the rounds in calling, they leave a card upon each counter. This is a pleasant custom, as the cards can be gathered up and kept in remembrance of old friends.. The Chinamen are happy to have Americans call upon them during the holidays, and any person who con. ducts himself properly in their presence will always be courteously treated. The time allotted for recreation and pleasure on this occasion varies from three to thirty days, according to the state of hurries". The holidays on this =s alon will last until Monday next, previ ous to which time another firecracker demonstration will take place. It is es.

Between the two fowl. ers thalird was _snared, despite of age and experience. - The prize leas worth $1.00,000. When the marriage had taken place the Unfederate, of course, put in her little clam. ^ It was repudiated, and the affair la now taken intocourt to be de. tided: The Wpy husband is desd, so that he is spsred the mortlfleatioia of dis. covering to- what agencies his suscepti ble heart had incembed. : ===== PITTSBURGH DAILY GAZETTE: THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 18M, QUITO. The authentic history of Quito goes back well nigh a thousand years, and is then lost in the night of fable. In 1475, when Columbus was dreaming Of voy aging across the, unknown ocean, Huey na-Capac, the great Inca of Peru, march ed from Cuzco a thousand miles to the south, defeated the monarch of Quito, took the city, - and made tt t• the capital of his great empire: How this march could have been performed is hardly . iconceiva ble, for there is no reason to suppose that a road of any kind existed. The Inca dominion lasted barely sixty years, when it was overthrown by the Spaniarder But in that brief: petiod verbs were construe. ted which will rank among the most stn. pendous ever made human hands. Quito grew into a magnificent city. In t o ne words of Mr. Orion, "It was the worthy metropolis of a vast empire stretching from the equator to the desert of Atacama, and walled in by the grand est group of mountains in the world. On this lefty site, which amidst, the Alps would tst burled in an avalanche of snow, but within the tropics . enjoys an eternal spring, palaces more beautiful than the Alhambra were erected glittering with the . gold and jewels of the Andes. But most wonderful of all was the great mili tary road, stretching', along the flank of the eastern Cordillera,' from above Quito to below Cuzco—well-nigh fifteen hun dred miles. From the detached portions of it which Humboldt. saw, he felt war. ranted in pronouncing that it vied with. the famous Roman military roads. Mr. Orton, who traveled over a portion o this ancient road, says that it "is well paved with blOcks of dark porphyry. It is not graded, but partakes of the irregu larity of the country. Designed, not for carriages, but for troops and llamas, there are steps where the ascent Is steep." We can not now learn that there now , exist in uito any remains of Inas arch!. tectum Q . its splendor," says 1.1. r. Orton, "passed away with the scepter of Ataplatiallpa. Where the pavilllon of the Inca once stood is now a gloomy con. vent, and a wheat field takes the ;lace of the Temple of the Sun.' The Quito of today is a dull Spanish- American city, of 80,000 inhabitants, three:-forth of them Indians or mixed breed—lndian,-.- Spanish, and negro. There are two or three rather imposing public buildings, the Government House and the Cathedral ,lming the principal. The dwellings are low Indian huts and houses built of sun dried brick, none et them more than two stories. "There is not" says Mr. Orton, "in Quito—and, for the matttr of that, in all Lcuador—a single chimney." The bulk of the pop ulation consists of Cholos, the offspring of Spaniards and Indians, the Indian blood greatly predominating. Contrary to what is usually held to be the case, they are more enterprising and Intelligent than their progenitors of either race. They are soldiers, artisans, and tradesmen who keep up the' only signs of life in Quito. In courtesy they aro fully equal to the moat decorous Castilian.—From "The Andes and the Amazon," in Bar n:lea Magazine for Ilbruary. The (West Families of England A glance at Debrett, the "Country Families," and other works of the same nature;.will show the immense number of applicants for the coveted diatinetion of being among the first or best fannies of the United Kingdom, but, in spite of that fact. the number of those who can eland the three tests which settle the question is sifted down to four. Length of descent, ancient renown and historical importance are the crucibles in which all pretensions must be tried. In them the Smythes and 13rownes come utterly to an end, and even such distinguished names as Howard, Russel, Cecil, Seymour, Talbot and Stan ley, none of which had risen above - tbe middle ranks five hundred years ago, do net come up to this rigid standard. All the conditions are only fulfilled by only four families—those ot Hastings. ing, Courtney and Nevi'. The first has been more or less noble since the con quest The second Is descended from the Imperial Hapsburg race, and has been In England since Henry the Third's reign. The Courtneye are descended from nun , amond, the founder of the French molar• shy who flourished in the middle of the fifth century ; and from Atho, some of whose. family were Counts of Edema, ' Kings of Jerusalem, and Emperors of Constantinople; they are also of very in dent nobility In England and have main tamed their historical and political Im. portance down to our day. There Is but one family which can compete with them in the race for distinction, and the claims of the rivet houses are very evenly bal. anced, unless the fact that the fame of the Courtney Is chiefly of forelgh growth, while that of the Nevi's is pure ly Angio.Salon, turns the male. The Nouns were Earls of Northumberland, . . when we first hear of them. in Saxon times, nearly a thousand years ago, they were in the bights ranks of the nobles before the Conquest and have been noble ever since. During c war of the roses they were powerfu nough to furnish one archbishop, one duke, one marquis, three earls, and three barons, and were possessed of such enormous wealth and power that to be under the protection of the '"Bear and Ragged Stair' was to be both feared and respected, and to make and unmake kings their favorite recrea tion. Even now it may be mid of ono of them, what can' be raid of no other English subject, that, by his single voice, be could control the succession to the crown, and the role of the mighty War": wick might be played by another Nevil with only ' the scenes shifted, If he was sufficiently turbulent or ambitious. A raactlul PttUowpbeF 8/MOILL OSGOOD,' in a pleasant talk (printed In the N. Y. Evening Post) about European landlords with whom he came *ln contact, speaks of one thin: At Munich our host was a man of pro. creative ideas, a decided reformer, very severe :on the Bavarian Government for neglecting the industrial arta, for ran. sacking the earth for old pictures and statues, and doing nothing to bring Into use the magnificent water power of the mountain springs and lakes.
