In Door Erercise. - Females much
confined within doors, often suffer i'll
health from the want Of exercise. Nature
demans it, and health cannot exist with
out it. The skipping rope, dumb-bells,
battledore and shuttlecock, &c, are all
aids to the required end. Frequently,
however, these exercises are regarded
as childish it is overlooked that from
women, as well as girls, and there Is no
line when systematic exercise is more
needful to the healthy development of
the future woman, than between the
ages of fifteen and twenty-one. Ladies
who are not above experimenting their
own house hold affalrs-who look upon
the rubbing Of a mahogany table, and
the sweeping of a carpet as necessary
but pleasant helps to the preservation
of sound health, are less in need Of arti-
fetal aids to exercise, than those whose
most energetic labors are confined to the
performance of set of quadrilles upon
the piano, or an occasional promenade
in the walks of fashionable ,ife fe.-HearM

his buggy and restored it. 1t is cur
rently reported that when the criers were
arraigned before the Governor for in
structions, be charged them, most en-
phatically, not to say that it was child

1t is also asserted that a cannon was to

The PROPOSED ATTACHMENT LAW

The PROPOSED ATTACHMENT LAW
The press is greatly exercised with the
return to the old attachment law, pro-
posed by Senator Merritt. As hereto-
fore the newspapers generally favor the
present law over the old one. Two
years ago when the public sentiment
was at its height against the old law,
two clever lawyers were editors of this
paper. They alone welded the pen in
favor of the old law, among all their
brother scribblers. The wisdom oftheir
course we do not at this moment doubt
Public sentiment may in other portions
of the State be adverse to a return to
the OLD law, but we claim to know the
opinion of business men of Neveda, and
to speak it when we say they would re-
.jolce to see the old law reenacted. We
believe this sentiment to be almost uni
yersal among mercantile men. Nothing
can be collected under the present law
unless by chance.
Because rascalty was perpetrate ed
under the old law, i is no reason why it
should be condcmued Ali Iaus and
all human acts are liable to abuse
That law is best which protects men in
their business, and secures to each his
proper rights, which compeis justice if
honesty is not intended We conceive
that the present attachment law offers
more loop holes for the escape Of the
dishonest than the former, and if we are
to have laws for the collection of debt,
let us have them effectlye-not mere
cob-webs, catching the less harmless
of insects but allowing the larger ones
to break through and away.

PECULIARITIEs OF JAPAN.-The gov
ernment of the empire of Japan pre-
sents the remarkable anamaly of two
co-existing sovereigns each maintaining
state independent of the other, and
each the recipient of popular homage
One of these sovereigns is the religious
ruler, and is reputed to be descended
from the gods of Japan. He is called
Mikado, or Dairi-Sama. The other ex-
ercises the civil power, and pays stated
homage to his spiritual co-emperor. He
is called the Ziogun, or Koboe Sama.-
He is descended from an early conquer
or who wrested the civil power from the
Sairi-Sama, some centuries ago. The
Mikado Is supreme in rank, but quite
insignificant in popular affairs. The
greatest veneration is paid to him by
the people, amounting almost to worship
Yet he is little better than prisoner,
for he is born, lives and dies in the pre-
clncts of his court, and never goes out
into the world. He is looked upon as
most holy. and pope by birth and in
order to keep up this opinion in the
minds of the people, he is obligedto live
entirely secluded, and to take the most
extraordinary care of his sacred person.
When he desires to move from place
to place, he is borne on mems shoulders,
as it is considered prejudicial to his
dignity and holiness to touch the ground
with his feet. Nor is his sacred person
ever exposed to the open air, nor the
unworthy san suffered to shine upon his
head Such is the intense holiness of
his body that he dares not cut off
his hair, or beard, or nails. Tho same
reason prevents him from voluntary ab-
lutions but less he Should grow too
dirty, his attendants may clean him in
'he night, when he is asleep, because it
Is held that what is taken from his body
ulder these circumstances has been
stolen from him. and does not detraci
from his holiness. His vctuals must
every time be prepared in new vessels,
and served at table in new dishes and
after he has refreshed himself, the uten-
sils are destroyed, for fear that some
profane person should use them, and
thus bring on seven disorders, as 6 con-
sequence of his inpiety III eating from
these desecrated vessels. For the same
reason, his cast.of garments are care
fully destroyed, it being held that if any
layman should wear them without the
express command of Kiado, they would
occasion pains in all parts of the body
His crown is placed every morning for
several hours. upon the altar, that its
presence may preserve the peace and
prosperity Of the empire.
