A LEARNED PRIZE FIGHTER.-Price, the
Welsh pugilist, who lately whipped Kelly
in Canada, is thus spoken of by the Tribune:
"He is man of rather pleasant face, of
agreeable address, of good conversational
powers, and he has fund of information
that makes him a pleasing person to talk
with He speaks, reads, and writes three
languages with ease, being equally fluent
in French, Italian, and English. His SER
vices are frequently brought into requistion
as a translator before the Courts in Boston.
To see and converse with the man under or
dinary circumstances, one would no more
suspect him of being prize fighter than he
would the daintiest kid-gloyed exquisite

THE JApANEsE.-AH travellers unite in
bearing the most fattering testimony to the
moral character of this singular people, and
yet they arc idolaters and polygamists. 4
recent visitor of their country thus writes
of them to the S. F. Tines
"As race the Japanese are far superior
to the Chinese. Their complexion is dark
olive, with a ruddy tinge on the lips and
cheeks, with agreeable and expressive faces,
showing an active mind. Their eyes are
larger and their foreheads are broader than
the Chinese. They are a very inqusitive
race, always willing to learn and adept
what they consider better than their own.-
They have two steam war vessels here,
manned by themselves after three months
instruction from the Dutch. They seem to
have particular fondness for machinery, or
anything that requires great labor OF the
mind | am told they make capital chess
players. The respect shown by the lower
classes to persons of rank is wonderful.
Two officials meeting in the street bow al
most to the ground--an inferior approaching
his superior, to speak to him, does SO on
his hands and knees. The officials take the
highest rank; priests, merchants, mechan-
les anu SerlS, tue LOWEST; except tanners WHO
are regarded as outcasts.
bought a sword the other day, but be-
fore purchasing | was obliged to have my
Consul go with me to the Governor and
state my rank, and that / was not a mer-
chant, as that class of men are not permitted
to wear swords. The language is similar to
the Chinese. | think it was taken from the
Chinese, at least part of it. Their religion
is the Buddhist, the same as the Chinese, of
which | gave you a description in my last
letter from Canton. Several Missionaries
are located here, but l doubt if they have
made many converts, as | learn that the
tracts distributed among them were returned,
with this request: "Be sure TO obey all these
iprecepts yourselves" Polygamy is legal.
The marriage ceremonies are similar to the
Chinese. The kindness of the Japanese to
wards each other, is truly wonderful.
have been here nearly moath. During
that time l have never heard one person
speak harshly or use an unkind word. Their
simplicity is remarkable-a stranger can go
about their private houses as if in his own
home; in fact, they seemed pleased with
such attentions, and it is sad to think they
must learn evil from the civilized world
Their long secluslon has made them as it
were children, and what is to be the result
of their intercourse with the world remains
to be seen. / do not think it will improve
them.

The Two PartinGs.


The Two Partings.
We parted once before. You wept
When 1 rose up to go, you did,
You prayed for me before you slept,
You little love, you know you didl
And no grief now is on that brow,
Which then you said, throbbed so, you did;
You loved me better then than now
You cruel thing, you know you did!
Do you remember what the sea,
/ took you out to show you, ddf
You made pretty simle-
You false of tongue, You know you did!
You sighed, sThat life were like its crests
When sunshine breezes blow" you did;
ssTo catch loves light before it rests"
You cold, cold heart, you know you did.
What have done? You smile more
On ME months ago you did,
You deem my homage now a bore;
You liked it then, you know you did.
"How best," you said, s'were life with one
Who'd love me truly.' o, you didl
But-you thought an elder SON
You utter firt, you know YOU did

A STRIKING REMARK" California is full
of day dreamers-of men who spend life in
reveries of possible wealth to come by some
unheard-of chance, but who put forth no
one effort to better their condition. These
men are the true children of dissipation
The surviving pioneers of 40 furnish nu-
merous examples. Dwelling as they dill
in the midst of astonishing changes of for
tune by which the rich became poor, and
the poor suddenly rich beyond the widest
dreams, their eyesight seems to have been
dazzled by the brilliant and rapid shiftings
of the scenery of pioneer life, and their
minds to have become unsettled and untitled
