CHARACTER OF The JAPANESE. .-TravcI-
lcrs tell US that in physical attributes the
japanese men are much superior 10 The
Chinese, possessing most remarkable pow
cr of enduring toll and exposure. The
women, handsome and well formed, are
much superior 10 the women Of other
Eastern nations. There arc more scholars
in this empire than in any other country,
and every peasant can at least read, The
reciprocal affection aud confidence existing
between father and son is without parallel.
A japanese home is an eminent example Of
domestic harmony.
A most delicate sense Of honor pcrvades
this nation, until it becomes almost a vice.
Blood alone can atone for an offered insult.
A love for fun is a national Characteristic,
and even the beggars are merry. So lond
are the ladies of dress, that they display the
richness of their wardrobe upon every pos
siblc occasion, often changing their entire
dress two or three times during single
theatrical representation.
Social gatherings, outdoor and rural
amusements, and old fashioned tea parties,
are their delight. Rules foI behavior at
these latter are reduced to a system, and
must be studied by every young lady at
school. Strict etiquette demands that what
cannot be eaten shall be slowed away in the
pocket. At grand fetcs, every one takes
servant 10 carry of his share Of the rem
Dants. Cleanliness is with these people
virtue. Every dwelling has lis warm, cold,
and vapor baths, and their houses are per-
feet models Of order and cleanliness.
lu the arts they are, as nation, well ad-
vanced. They work well in the metals and
wood manufacture glass, paper, watches,
telescopes, have manufactures Of silk and
cotton goods, and in general are farther ad-
vanced than any other Oriental country
or music, painting and poetry, they are
passionately fond. In the sciences they
excel, but the invention or construction Of
any article calculated to save labor is pro-
hibited BY the government.

RETURN OF the NORTH STAR.-The N.
Y. Tribune says:
The steam yacht North Star arrived at
her berth, at the foot Of Corlears street, FRI
day, September %, ancr an absence Of four
months and three days. II will be remem-
bered that Mr. Vanderbilt and the members
Of his family sailed for Europe, in the North
Star, on the 9th Of May, intending 10 visit
the principal European ports. Since that
time, the European and American papers
have given detailed accounts Of the progress
of this stupcndous pleasure trip, leaving but
little further to be added. On the evening
Of the 10Th she sailed from Madeira for
New York, and arrived here in 10 days
and 20 hours one-ihird ofthe distance was
performed with two boilers only, consuming
on the average 25 ions Of coal per day
This is said 10 be the quickest run ever
made by any steamer. At noon, Thursday,
the North Star was in the Gulf Stream,
2sj miles distant; sl 10 o'clock Friday
morning, Sandy Hook was reached. In
three hours from first sighting land, the
yacht was opposite Castle Garden.
The entire distance performed by the North
Star, since her departure from New York,
has been 1000 miles, occupying So l-2
days, during 10 Of which the four boilers
were, used, and for the remainder the
time only two She performed 5000 miles
consuming only 500 tons OF coal.
