Japanese Peculiarities.
It seems that tbe national exclusivoncsa of
this peculiar people is also exhibited in their
aoci&l babits. Tbo streets of their towns pre
sent only a dead wall upon each side, the hou
ses being situated in gardens behind them, and
bidden as much as possible by trees and shrub
bery. Being under constant surveillance, the
people are much given to hiding themselves.
Their dress consists of one loose robe with
girdle about the middle. This is a very cool
arrangement for summer weather, but in win
ter is not quite so comfortable. However,
they manage to keep warm by levying contri
"butions upon each other, for whenever one
member of a family goes out in cold weather,
he borrows the garments of all who remain
within and l uts them over the other !
The Japanese idea of a shoe is peculiar. The
nrticle with them is simply a sole, and is
worn not for the protection of the foot which
in fact it does not cover but for the preser
vation of matting upon their floors the sole
being always slipped off at the door, the wear
er going barefoot in the house. The shoe,
therefore, is only intended to keep the foot
from contact with the earth, aud thus from
soiling the matting, which it is a matter of
pride to keep very cleau. This, indeed, is a
very essential matter, as the matting is used
not only for a carpet, but for a table-cloth
and mattress as well, being in fact the only
article of furniture in the house. The inmates
sit, and eat upon the floor.
The Japanese pillow for they indulge in
that luxury, is a curious affair. It consists of
a little block of wood, with sides of unequal
width, so that by turning it over which is of
ten done even in sleep the head may rest at
different points of elevation. This peculiar
pillow is made necessary from the fact that
the hair is made upright upon the head, mat
ted together with grease and secured by pins,
which by their material indicate the rank of
the wearer. This pillow is considered a very
comfortable affair, and altogether superior to
the bags of feathers on which we outside bar
barians are wont to recline our heads.
The Japanese, like the Chinese, take tbidr
food with chopsticks, and indicate their en
joyment of it by a loud snoring noise, not at
all agreeable to civilized ears.
Being always accustomed to sit wiih their
legs bent up upon the floor, they find it pain
ful to sit on chairs, complaining that the part
of the leg which hangs down, " is all the s,;me
as if it were cut off!"
Tiie mandarins, when they go abroad, have
always a great retinue; an umbrella capable of
covering thirty or forty persons, is held over
their heads, while two men go before with
brooins to sweep away evil ypirits in the air!
They believe in spirits, but not in the immor
tality of the soul.
"When a Japmese gentleman walks abroad
he is always accompanied by a servant whose
duty it is to carry three essential articles an
umbrella to shade his master his slippers, for
it is the genteel thing to go barefooted, and
an eating-box containing food, lest his mas
ter should become faint on the way. When
this happens, the gentlemrn sits down upon
the groud, opens his box and eats his dinner.
The Japanese arc bound to support their pa
rents while living, and to worship them when
dead. This worship is the only social enjoy
ment they have, for they mako an amusement
of it, though one would think it a very grave
one. In fact the graveyard is the only place
of public resort, and is made a place of sensu
al enjoyment, livery day the housthol 1 re
sorts to the family tomb, and there indulges
in eating, drinking, aud wailing alternately.
This is their worship. Formerly they were
required to be three years by the graves of
their parents, now fifty diys will do, and they
sometimes even hire men to watch in their
ttead. This indicates a lamentable decline of
piety, which, however, is not without its par
allel among tbe professors of a higher faith.
"Victor Galbraith.' This beautiful ly
ric by Longfellow, in the May number of
Putnam's Magazine, is founded on fact, it ap
pears. The St. Piul(alin.) Democrat gives it
and adds to the complete understadJing of the
poem. Victor was the son of Dr. Galbraith,
of Galena, Illinois. He went to Mexico in
one of the Illinois regiments. He was a young
man of prcposessing appearance, active mind,
and too much independence and pride for a
a soldier. The writer had forgotten that he
was a bugler, which it appears from the poem
he was. For some threat against his captain,
perhaps provoked by the insolence or tyranny
of his superior, he was tried, condi-mncd and
shot, as narrated by Mr. Longfellow. The un
strung nerves of the guard, detailed . for his
execution, destroyed their aim, and at the
first discharge he was only horribly mangled.
The second fire "put him out of his pain,"
and thus ignominiously died "Victor Gal
braith by the hands of his own comrades. The
news of his melancholy fate, borne to his old
father, to his mother, to his brothers and sis
ters, was but one of the million ripples of
grief and agony that flowed from the desola
ting tide of war. It would have been hard
for that old father to have heard news of the
death of bis son, pierced and hewed by the
balls and swords of the enemy, but how inex
pressibly more sad and heart-rending, that he
died by the hands of his messmates and com
rades !
Splendid Project. We tind the following in
an exchange, credited to a 'Northern paper :'
Send me three million dollars. (As to what
I want with it a word in your ear privately.)
I intend to lay down in every street, court,
lane, place and alley of Boston, 10,000 miles
of iron main, 4 feet in diameter, with 12 inch
service pipes entering each house ; so far so
good. Then I shall commence at the top of
"the White Mountains to lay a pipe ten feet in
diameter into the ground six yards deep, from
the said White Mountains to the Main in Bos.
ton, which will have beenalrealy constructed
aa before remarked ; this doue, I shall build a
steam engine- seven hundred and eighteen
thousand horse power, and (lean over this way
if youpleaie,I'm afraid somebody might hear)
'wee iht freezing almosphtte from the moun
tains iuo every iiome in. Ba'un. There's no
mistake about this ; it's bound to go ; and
when it's finished I mean to buy me a pair of
boots and go in flat footed for a litis of pipes
to tho tropics, to pump ! ot air into to houses
in winter. These liillt jvbs completed, .-.nd
we will have our cool weather in July, and in
January it shall be warm ar.d comfortable, as
it always ought to hive been. I guess nature's
jig is about up, ain't it ?
When the enterprising patentee of the a
bovc invention gets through his job, ho will
please turn his steps iu this direction. An
importation from the "North Pole would ba ex
ceedingly acceptable about now.
Save tue Max with -iuk llto Hair. It re
quires great coolness and experience to steer
a course down the rapids t f the Sault St. Ma
rie ; and a short time before our arrival two
Americans had ventured to descend them with
out boatmen, and were consequently upset.
As the story was lepoited to us, one of them
owed his salvation to a singular coincidence.
As the accident took place immediately oppo
site to the town, many of the inh tLitants were
attracted to the bank of the river to watch the
unfortunate mua thinking that any attempt at
rescue would be perfectly hopeless. Sudden
ly, however, a person appeared rushing to
ward the group frantic with excitement.
"Save the mm with the red hair !" he ve
hemently shouted, and the exertions which
were'made in consequence of his earnest ap
peals proved successful, and the red-haired
individual, in an exhausted condition, safely
landed.
"He owes me eighteen dollars,'5 said his
rescuer, drawing a long breath, and looking
approvingly on his assistants. The red-haired
man's friend had not a creditor at the Sault
and in default of a competing claim was allow
ed to p iy his debts to nature.
"And 111 tell you what it is, stranger," said
the narrator of the foregoing, "a in an 'II never
know how necessary l.e is to society if he
don't make himself valuable to his friends as
well as to himself. Blackwood.
A Si:m:wi DtviL. In Al'ganist.-.;i, a, coun
try abounding in legends there is one to the
eik-ct that Satan entered into a compact with
the people, to teach them to cultivate the
earth and bring forth its fruits, the produce
to be divided between them. The bargain !t--ing
mad-- and t l.e soil i repured by tha labor of
the people, Satan produced his so .Is, which
in due time came up, as carrots, turnips uv.d
other vegetables, the value of which lies be
neath the ground. When the division took
place, the people in their ignorance, took
that which was above the surface. In time
they discovered their mistake, and loudly
complained of their loss. Upon which Satan
with a bland sruile, told them that it should be
different next year. And so it was. The peo
ple were to take all the produce that was be
neath the soil. This time the devil had sown
all wheat, and barley aud other grain, whose
fruit is above the surface. So the people twice
tricked, got nothing but useless roofs.
"Zy As '-we" cariic on a Brooklyn ferry-boat
the other day, a gentle-Tuan, o:ie of the fist
men evidently, drove on board at a rapid rate,
and nearly ran over u man, v. h seized his
horse by the iri.Ial and brought him to a stand
still.
"What do you mean," said the driving I n
divi luil, '-by cr.tcl.ing held of lov horse
in this kind of a way ?"'
'Let go of my horse, I tel! yoti !"'
'I'll see you hung tirst."
Tiie man leaped out ot his buggy, and com- !
iug rapidly upon the other, whip in hand, cried
out :
I siy let go of that horse.-"'
"I say I won't till 1 get ready."
"Well then,'' said tiie driver, throwing his
whip into the carriage, "just hold him, will
you .'" and he walked into the cabin.
That was as quiet, and quite as cute a way
to settle a dispute as that adopted by Xooks
when he met Stooks in a tight place, and
neither could turn out without some danger
of overturning their respective carts. "If you
don't turn out,', said Xooks, "I'll serve you
just as I did a man I met half a mile back here
iu just such a place as this." Stooks was im
pressed by the decission which Xooks display
ed, and promptly complied with the request ;
but just as he was getting by he inquired,
"How about that man you met how did
you serve him ?"
"Well you sec," said Xooks, "when I found
ho wouldn't turn out for me, why Ijust turned
cut for him !"
CC7""Who drives fat oxen must himself be
fat," is certainly not a very wise observation,
if Dr. Johnson did make it. But fat men have
sometimes been great men, and have driven
other people, though it would be hard work to
drive them. There was a Senator of the Uni
ted States, some years ago, who was so fat
u.at it was said the ferrv-boat had toTgo twice
for him to get him over a river. Dr. Beddoes,
the English antiquarian, was so cnorraously
wide-spread that he was called a "traveling
haystack." A butcher desired him to give
out that he bought his meat of him, as it would
make his fortune to have it known that he fed
such a falstafT.
In the ccu--t of Louis XV. lived two lusty
noblemen, who were cousins. The King said
to one of them, when rallying him on his cor
pulency, "I suppose you take little or no ex
ercise." "Your Majesty will pardon me," re
plied the bulky Duke, " but I generally round
ray cousin two or three timet every morning."
Dr. Stafford was so very large that his epi
taph was made to match :
'Take heed Oh good traveler, and do not tread hard,
For hero lies Dr. Stafford, in all this church-yird?
A tallow chandler, remarkable for his own
imbesity, was honored with the following lines
on his grave-stone :
"Here lies in dirt n honost follow1
