RELIGION IN JAPAN.-The temples, chiefly
Buddhist are beautifully situated in the sub
urbs. The entrance to them leads generally
through rows of elegant trees and wild Ca
melias. They are large plain structures
with high peaked roofs, resembling the
houses pictured on Chinese proclaim. In
the space Immediately in front, is large
bell for summoning the faithful, stone res
ervoir of holy water, and several roughly
hewn stone idols The doorway is orna-
mented with curious looking dragons, and
other animals carved in wood. Upon enter
ing, there is nothing special about the build
ing worth noting, the naked sides and ex-
posed rafters have gloomy appearance
The altar is the only object that attracts at
tentlon. Some of the idols on these altars
are similar to those seen in the churches in
Italy. The priests count beads, shave their
heads, and wear analogous robes, and the
service is attended by the ringing of bells,
the lighting of candles, and the burning of
incense. In fact, except that the cross is
nowhere to be seen. one could easily imagine
himself within Roman Catholic place of
worship. During the seventeenth century,
Christianity was introduced by the Jesuits.
and for time made rapid progress but
the missionaries, inflated by success, became
naughty and presumptuous, and, beginning
to interfere in politics and government,
brought about a violent persecution. So
deadly hatred was conceived against the
Portuguese, that in the space of forty years,
they and their religion were completely ex-
tirpated. Even to this day in certain parts
of the empire, the custom of trampling on
the cross is annually celebrated. To such a
pitch were the japanese exasperated, that
none of the Romish ceremonial was permit
ted to survive. Now, the resemblance in
the outward forms of the two religions is
strikingly remarkable, and is an interesting
fact in reference to the priority of the cere.
monies of the Church of Rome, as it is still
undetermined whether they originated with
herself or were borrowed from Pagans-
Great liberty of conscience exists. Every
Japanese has right to profess whatever faith
he pleases, provided only it be not Chris
tianity.

Sir John Franklin's expedition consisted
of 1873 men, The place where their remains
are reported to have been found is in about
latitude 68, and longitude 50 west from
Greenwich. 1t is nearly seven degrees of
latitude south of Wellington Channel, where
the last traces of Franklin where found four
years ago, and the graves of several of his
men, buried in l845-46. 1t was through
this channel that Sir John was supposed to
have forced his way north into the Polar
Sea. Nearly all the various expeditions fit
ted out have, under this belief, explored re-
gions too far north The land expedition
which went out in 1913, was too far west,
having followed the Mackenzie river from
the same lake which the Black river starts
from, running east. Captain Austin, who
investigated the region of Lancaster Sound
in 1880, concluded that the missing expedi-
ton had not been to the southwark and west
ward of Wellington Channel. Yet at this
very time Franklin's party were suffering the
pangs of starvation some seven degrees south
of Lancaster Sound, having probably been
carried down Prince Regents Inlet past Ian
caster Sound by the ice. 1t is estimated
that 81 100000 have been expended in fit
ting out the various searching expeditions in
England and the United States. Mr.. John
Rae, who has made the recent discovery OF
the remains of the lost voyagers, was en-
gagged for three successive years in exploring
the lands and islands north of Coppermine
river.

AN AMERICAN JOURNAL AT PARIs.-Mr.
Charles l.. Fleischmann, formerly U. S. con-
sui at Stuttgart, afterwards employed in the
Patent Office at Washington, and lately ap-
pointed Commissioner for the State of New
York at the great exhibition to take place
next year in Paris, has just started in that
city weekly journal in the English lam
guage, called The AMERICAN. 1t will be
devoted mainly to advertising, and will look
for its support through that medium, but
will contain the list of American arrivals,
American movements and gossip in Paris,
with useful directions and notices of COM
ing amusements, in the style of American
journals. This question of an American
journal in Paris has long been agitated, and
but for the fear of entering into competition
with the great wealth of the Galignanis,
would have long ago been resolved. 1t is
hoped Mr. Fleischmann may succeed in the
enterprise. N. Y. Times.

PRODUCTIONS OF JAPAN.-Japan abounds
in natural and artificial productions of grea t
value. Its mineral riches are enormous, and
include metals of various kinds, especially
gold, silver, and copper. Sulphur and nitre
are also found in large quantities; there is
no want of coal, and there are precious
stones of almost every variety-agates, sap
phlres, jaspers, comedians, and even dia-
monds; while pearls are found in great
plenty among the shells upon the coast
Then the fertility of the soil is very great
The mulberry-tree grows extensively, and
affords food for countless myriads of silk
worms. The hadsi, or paper-tree, serves in
Vulnerable useful purposes, including the
manufacture of cloths, stuffs, and cordage.
The Cer1Si, or varnish-tree. is another valua-
BILE production of the country, yielding large
quantities of milky juice which the natives
employ to varnish, or japan, as we call it,
various articles. Then there are the bay
tree, the camphor tree, the fig tree. the cy-
press-tree, with very many more, more or
less valuable, and from which great variety
of useful articles are made: and last. though
not least, there is the tea-shrub, from the
leaves OF which the common drink of the
people is brewed, and which is capable of
AlelulLS NdluaUIe drllCle OF commerce.
Trees growing nuts of various kinds are
abundant; the maple is extensive and excel
lent; bamboos are very plentiful and Of great
use, as they are everywhere in the Indies.
They cultivate as much hemp and cotton
as they can find room for in their fields +,
and as to rice, which is the main food of the
natives, that grown in Japan is considered
the best in all Asia, and it can be produced
in almost any quantity. Their corns are of
several sorts besides the kom,i or rice, there
are the oomuggi, kind of barley the koo-
nluggi, their native wheat; and the daidSou,
a species of bean-all of which abound with
superior farina.-L Country Gentleman, Al

IMPURE LANGUAGE are some hab-
its which we never can entirely annihilate,
after we have once formed them. The use of
impure language is one of these habits. 1t
may be subdued and slumber for years, till
its existence is almost forgotten, and then
in the delirium of fever, it may suddenly
burst forth, to the astonshment of all who
listen. Many devoted Christian, in the
delirium of sick bed, has shocked his
friends by the use of profane or obscene Ian
guage. which could be explained only by the
fact that he had been familiar with such
language in early life. In reading the me.
moir of DR.. Grant, the missionary to the
HISTORIANS, was struck with fact relating
to his last illness. For seventeen days pre-
vious to his death, he was in delirium
but, says his biographer, " though speaking
almost constantly, on many topics, in three
different languages-that is English, Turkish
and Syriac-he did not utter single WORD
he would have been ashamed of afterwards
His associates listened to these disclosures
of his secret heart, and wondered that moth
ing appeared that they would have wished tc
conceal. - Well-Spring.

The VICTORIA BRIDGE.--This bridge which
is to be built across the ST. Lawrence river
near Montreal, and indeed which is In pro-
cess of construction, when completed will
be one of the most remarka BILE structures OF
the kind in the world II is to be built of
iron, under the superin!endence of Mr.. Ste
phenson, and of the tubular form, as 1T is
thought that this form is best calculated to
sustain the immense pressure to which the
ponderous weight of locomotives and cars
will subject it. The length of the bridge
from bank TO bank will be nearly 0,300 feet,
or some fifty yards less than two miles. This
length includes some 1900 feet of stone en-
bankment. The bridge proper is to be sup
ported on "a piers The center span will be
800 feet wide, and each of the "a others, 22O
feet in width The piers are being construct
ed of huge stones, each one being clasped
to its fellow by bands Of iron, and the in
terstices filled with molten lead and the
strongest Roman cement.
The average depth of the st. Lawrence in
summer at the point where it will be crossed
by the bridge, is IA feet in the center and a
feet near the banks, and the current runs
from 7 to 10 miles an hour. The bridge in
the center Of the river will be elevated to
height of 60 feet above the water, so that it
will prove no obstacle to the class of vessels
which navigate the stream, and the iron To-
comotives will thunder across the broad st.
Lawrence above the tops of the highest masts.
Unless unforeseen difficulties arise, the first
train of cars will cross the river in the sum-
mer of 1858.
This plan is similar to the bridge built
several years ago across the Menai Straits, in
Wales, and known as the Britannia Bridge
