Buildings, Temples and Religion of Japan.

correspondent of the New York Journal OF Com

remarks as follows in relation to the religion, tenn
pies, &C., of the japanese
The streets are wide and straight, and the better
class of houses two stories high pastsEed and roof

neat, anG the roOms covered with mats and separa

the middle of the foor around which the family are
usually found seated their knees, drinking tea and
smoking their pipes. Not chair,-or any other
piece of furniture, can be Tubs of water are
kept in front of each house, we'll as on the roofs,
in readiness against any fire, for confagraons are so
frequent and extensive that whole towns are some
times burnt down.
The temples, chiefly Buddhists, are beautifully sit
uated in the suburbs. The entrance 10 them leads
generally through rows of elegant trees and wild
camelias. They large plain structures with high
peaked roofs, resembling the houses pictured on Chi

servOr of holy wafer and several roughly hewn stone
idols The doorway is ornamened with curious look
ing dragons, and other animals carved in wood
Upon entering, there is nothing special about the
buildings worth noting, the naked sides and exposed
rafters having gloomy appearance. The altar Is
the only object that attracts attention. 1t so much
resembles the Roman Catholic that need not describe
it. Some of the idols these affairs so familiar

Their set of worshipers would discover the change
The priests count beads shave their heads, ard 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 him
self within Roman Catholic place of worship.

CASHMERE GoATs.-In chronicling the commence

the Cashmere shaws are made, the value of which
does not depend, many suppose upon their rarity
but upon the fact that the material surpasses every

raj years ago, by DR.. Davis, who caught them in
Asia, forty-two days. ride, on the hack of camels
from Constantinople. They have been introduced
by him in North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama Tennes-

The question as TO what animals and plants may be
accmated in particular regions, is undergoing much
discussion throughout the United States, by means
of which, and in the experiments to which it gives
rise, important additions will be madeto the informa-
ton of the country in agricultural affairs. We sup
pose that the common goat of the North would be
much improved if bred to those imported by DR.. Da-
Wis. Throughout South Carolina the ordinary animal
has risen largely in price, from the facility with
which the breed is improved by this cross. The ex-
pertinent would be worth trying in the Northern

From the Quincy, Qn1 Herald
Douglas Triumph at Joliet.


Judge Douglas addressed several thousand persons
4 few days since at Joliet The utmost enthusiasm
pervaded the crowd. Anti-Nebraska resolution were
offered by some foolhardy abolitionst, and were
ted dOWn The following account of the matter we
find in the Joliet Signal
owe regret that we have not time to give in to-
days paper a brief report of his remarks However,
we are unwilling to let the occasion pass without
saying ii was one of the ablest speeches it has ever
been our privilege to listen to- For three long hours
the power of his eoquence enchanted the audience
notwithstanding the day was uncOmfOrtably warm.
He proved to the satisfaction of all who did not turn
q deaf ear to reason, that the Nebraska and Kansas
bill founded upon the prinC pie of popular
reignty His arguments were unanswerable, and
presented the truth with such force and eloquence
that he carried his hearers with him. Any one who
heard this speech readily account for the reason
Of the wings, abolitonists, and know-nothings of
Chicago denying him the privilege of speaking be-
tore the people of that city. These abolition fusion
lists dare not let him speak in Chicago for they know
he has the ability and power to drive the truth home
to the people in such a to completely over
whem the puny efforts OF his phrenzed opponents
Judge Douglass anylzation of the abolition fusion
party, and his scathng rebuke of the dangerous Sc
cret political associations of armed men that have
been organized amongst US to subvert the Constitu-
ton, will not be without effect In fact, there is
something about the and the principles he up
holds, that seems to be irresistible.
'What is best about this effort of Senator Douglas
before the people of Will county is, that at the meet
ing of the abolition fusioEsts held in the evening" at
which the notorious lchabod Codding made an en-
lire failure in attempt to reply to Mr.. Douglass
arguments, an Gntl-NebraSkd resolution 1UaS offered

The new opera house in New York is a failure
1t is so constructed says the Post that if you sit in
some Of tie seats 1t is physical impossibility to see
anything Of the sage-it is folly to suppose that the
architect contrived them for any such purpose-they
are pleasant seats to look at, but for sitting in
them, that's quite another matter They were not
and they never will be occupied so long the bull
ding continues in its present form. The Post des-
eribes the opening night as a melancholy failure:
Never before was an opera house opened more
lnauspcl0usly. There were whole banks of vacant
seats and in The second tier, where there should have
been SIX or seven hundred auditors there were only
thirty or forty The lower circles told the same
tale Of vacancy, and the amphtheatre was the only
portion of the house which was we'll filled. These
FACTS pointed to bankruptcy, and the managers sud-
denly reduced the scale of prices The prices of ad
mission last evening ranged from fifty cents to three
dollars the scale being adapted to the length of every
purse. Sill the house was not full it had to D.
heavy appearance the of the auditors swarming
high up in the amphitheatre; the parquette and box
es were about half full; the second tier, where the
charge was one dollar being very we'll filled, Even
there, however, vacant seats.
