The style and Peculiarly of Japanese
I. COatumee. |


A late San Francisco paper saws: "On Tues
day, boat load of sailors, marines, and Off
GERS from the Japanese corvette, came ashore,
and took little tramp around town. The
captain of the company, who talks English
like book, was without hat. His head
was shaven on the crown, the straight black
hair turned upward, tied together, and the
ends, compacted by virtue of poriatum into
one solid round mass; were laid straight fore
and aft on the crown, pointing ahead. Upon
this model most Of the others of any rank
dressed their hair. Several dandyish officers
wore broad-brimmed white hats, such as our
Chinese sport in rainy weather. A cushion
was arranged inside to lift the hat clear of
the head. Two stout strings, one passing
from in front of the ears under the chin, the
other from behind the ears around the front
Of the chin, kept it in place.
Others wore straw bonnets of fancy colors,
shaped like an inverted cone, the cushion
within, sustaining on the shaved scalps all
the hats weight, and the cross-strings main
tanning 1t in position. Others, indeed all the
old man had every hair on his head shaven
off. The officers were fancifully dressed in
very different styles. One wore light-blue
gown and trowsers the color of the sky at
sunset, spangled, starred and barred with
gold and crimson. He carried short sword,
worn almost horizontally, on his hip, with
white shark-skin covered handle, and beau
tifully polished scabbard. A little below
hung longer sword, got up in the same
style. In his right hand he carried fan, in
his left walking-cane. The dresses high
and low were spotted with little circular,
oval, or square patches with inscriptions OF
an import quite unknown to us. Almost
every man wore sandals, generally of grass,
but only consisting of a sole, strap coming
up between the great toe and the next toe
adjoining then splitting, surrounded the
ankle. They marched the foremost in single
file then in double and treble file. =

AN AMIABLE Young MAN BUTcHERED BY A
FORMER FRIEND-A young man, Louis Gui-
try, was killed on Monday in New orleans,
says the Picayune, by j. G.. Lawrence, an
other young man, the friend and companion
Of the deceased. The two young men, in
company with some others, had been drink
ing freely. Lawrence was somewhat intoxi-
Gated, and sought quarrel with Guitry, who
was quiet, inoffensive young man. One OF
their friends interfered, and told Lawrence
that he was always seeking quarrels, and he
this, Guitry thinking Lawrence would make
it up, advanced with open arms to embrace
him, when Lawrence drew knife and in
flicted upon him two severe cuts or stabs,
one penetrating deeply in the left hip and
the other ripping open the abdomen. Guitry
died soon after the wound, and Lawrence
was arrested .. .|f.s.g- g-.-

For nearly month past, the press of Eu-

change Of letters between the Pope and King
Victor Emmanuel. Several journals shave pre-
tended to give the e&act text Of the corre-
spondence. Now, as the letter, which il is
most important that we should be accurately
acquainted with, is the Popes answer, ex-
planning what he has since done, and show

was informed Of the Pope's intentions, but
Notwithstanding, held his own good right

MDesty-The idea that your Majesty has
thought of manifesting to me Is not a wise
idea, and certainly not worthy of a Catholic
King, and of King Of the house of Savoy.
Ny answer is already consigned for publica-
ton in the encyclical letter to the Catholic
Episcopaey, which you may easily read.
For the rest, am most afflicted, not for
myself but for the unhappy state of your
Majesty's SOUL, which is implicated (iLldgiie-
dtd) in the censures, and in those that will
more greatly inoulpate it after the consum-
nation of the sacriligious act which you, to-
gether with those around you, have the in
tention of performing. Hh ff ra
pray the Lord with all my heart that he
may enlighten you, and give you grace to

by your cooperation on this poor Italy.

purpose of going on board the steamer when
il arrived. As the number on the slip was
far too numerous for the boat to carry, and
as every person was anxious TO procure an
early passage across, a general crush took
place. A rope which had been placed up the
side of the slip to guard against accident, and
had either been broken or cut, from the sew

relentlessly trampled over in the excitement
consequent on the break of the rope. Sew

FLIGHT WITH PISTOL AcCoMPANIMENTs.-T
serenity of Caliborne-street, in New Orleans,
was not little disturbed on Sunday night,
by the report of several pistols shots, and a
ghostly, white apparition scudding along be-
meath the shade of the trees. The loud
laughter of a party of gentlemen near the
corner where the shots were heard drew the
police, and the fact was vouched for by the
party that they heard a shot inside of house
near by, saw man come out on the second
story gallery, swing over the railing and drop
into the street, having on nothing but his
shirt, and his pants and boots in his hand, and
then travel like a scared dog, while another
man appeared on the gallery, and shot at him
several times as he flew. No complaints or
arrests. Decidedly suspicious.

MODE OF RAISING TOMATOES EARLY.-Those
who have no hot-bed of their own, and can
seed in boxes in the house. This may be
done any time from the middle OF March to
the first of May in this latitude. If the seed
is planted in inverted sods, cut in pieces two
inch square, these can be taken out and
planted with the plants rooted in them. The
proper time to set the plants in the garden is
about the goth of May. The bed should be
previously prepared by forking it over several
times. This mixes the manure we'll with the
earth, and warns it. The plants will grow
in moderately rich soil, if the earth is loose.
Wood-mold is the best soil for tomatoes.

Touching Love OF nm Old Soldier for His
COmnfrH. - ---------- --------

An old soldier of the Empire has recently
died at the Hotel des Invalides at Paris. He
was once taken prisoner by the English, and
having heard that the incurable invalids
were sent back TO their native country, he
thought he would make himself eligible for a
return trip. So he tried to destroy his sight
by rubbing snuff into his eyes. but only sue
ceeded in giving himself the ophthalmia. He,
however, feigned blindness, and persisted in
so doing for over three years, thus deceiving
the guard, his fellow-prisoners, and even the
physicians.
One day an officer of the Government came
to read to the prisoners the list of the dis
abled who were to be sent back to France.
To the CONSERVATION of the wotild-be blind
man, his name was not pronounced. The
list was placed on the table, and glancing at
it he saw his name badly written. Loosing
his presence of mind, he showed II to the
officer. "You are not, then, as blind as you
pretent to be-" remarked that functionary.
The unlucky man, caught in the act, nc
knowledged his stratagem. "For three
years" said he, 81 have feigned blindness, as
the only means by which could ever see my
country again" The officer was touched
with his patriotism, declared he had no right
to efface the name from the list, and so the
prisoner was sent back to Paris, and passed
his remaining years at the Hotel des Inva-
lides, fighting his battles Ger again."

tree, in which was firmly imbedded an Indian
hatchet of stone. The tree was perfectly
sound, and nothing indicated that such a
thing was imbedded therein, until it was
struck upon with an axe. Upon examina-
ton, it was ascertained that the hatchet was
stuck there when the tree had about thirty
years growth, and that it had remained in the
tree more than two centuries.

ORGANIZATION OF THE RIFLE CoRPs IN En-

holiday-soldiers have been made, the whole
plan having received the sanction and pa

like that of our volunteer companies in
America, but too much under the control of
