Dissertation 0f Jhphnono A'DahD'
A recent East India traveller thus sketches
Japanese belle'
saw n young girl standing, fan in hand,
at an open door, reading. She was simply
clad In a loose Grape half-petticoat, half lfdress-
ine-gown sort of dress, reaching as far down
No the ankles, and bound by a sash of yellow
silk around the waist. Her feet, which were
small and beautifully formed, rested on the
common straw sandals ofthe country. Over
this dress, which left the bosom partly un-
covered, she wore light cream-colored open
Jacket, of muslin texture, with wide sleeves
extended a little below the elbow; her soft
black hair, was beautifully drawn back of
the forehead, and bound in peculiar cluster
at the back of the head, where it was held by
two gold pins one of great length, and with
a scorpion-like device attached to it, and
which moved to and fro with every motion
of its fair wearer. Her complexion was
bright and pale, much more so than the
Chinese; her features animated and expires.

stood; she did not look ipiqued,' and turr
away as the fair damsels of my own country
would have likely done; but she favored mt
with steady gaze, and smiled, though
could scarcely detect the movement of &
feature, while her eyes, like souls of elo.
quence, glowed in fascinating beauty. She
was reading book; saluted her with a low
bow; she returned the compliment by some
what similar movement. Observing my
curiosity to see the book which she held, sht
handed il TO me. 1t was thick, and ofnearlJ

with numerous wood-cuts-a common cir
cumstance in Japan, as subsequently ascer

abounds with numerous illustrations. II

the color was of a very thick colored paper
highly ornamented, the external pictur,
being that ofa crucifxion; the paper wa
printed on one side only, and left uncut, 81
that the printed sides were alone presented
10 the eye. The work, one of an ordinar,
kind, was of excellent Typography. Of it
ordinary merits the young lady might hav
formed an opinion; but being anything bu
n aJapanese, could do no such pleasan
thing.

Fxoeilence of spanish Proverbs.

TheSpanish proverbs, the floating literature
Of Spain, handed down by verbal tradition
smell Of garlic and orange peel, and are us
profoundly national as the English nautica
song or the Welsh triad. They are shot al
YOU or stabbed into you, or pelted at you al
every tavern door and at every table Fhote
They are the grace for the sour gaspacho and
the uusavory salt Goldfish (bdcdido.) They
are the Spaniard's shield and stiletto. They
are the wisdom Of the age before books and
as Spain changes no more than China, they
are the wisdom of the present day. They
are to the cigarrette-smoker and melon-eater
what quotations are to the club man, and to
the debater, in Parliament whom country
gentlemen always cheer when he quotes
Horace-thinking it Greek, and to show they
understand him. To many who do not think
ut all they supply the place Of books alto
gether, and are the traditional corpus juIIs
of traditional wisdom bequeathed them by
their ancestors, who did think.
The following are few of the Spanish
proverbs:

mana hot sum- supper, and trouble. Three
daughters and a mother are four devils for

A Foolish Question Auswored in Kind.

The New York LndepeHdent says that
Southern trader came to this city to do rare
thing-to pay cash for his entire purchases.
Determined not to buy of any man who was
not true to the South, he went to the store of
-, and said "Are you an Abolitionist2
If you are, will not buy of you" The reply
was, Eyes; am an Abolitionist, for although
| would like to trade with you, can not
deny my principles" The Southerner next
went to the store of -, who was an officer
of an Anti-SlTery Society. The same ques-
ton was put to him, and the reply was, "Why,
aye, no. Idon't like all the Abolitionists do
Next he went to the warehouse of -, a
well-known Anti-Slavery man, propounding
the same question to him. This merchant,
with rare self-possession and Attic wit, re-
piled, II should like TO ask you question or
two, in my turn; are you close-communion
Baptist" The Southerner looked surprised,
and said, "What if | ami" He was answered,
"Why, in that case, can not sell you any
goods; not even for cash" After pricing
goods in the market the Southerner returned
to this store and made his purchases. On
settling his bill, he was inquisitive to know
why Mr.. - would not sell goods, for
cash even, to close-eommunion Baptists
Mr.. - laughed, and said, 81 have no pre-
judice against them, or any other sect, but
you asked me foolish question, and replied
by asking you another; that's all"

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 18th. 1858.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 18th, 1858.
To the Honorable Senate Committee:
Dear .Sirs:-I learn that there have
been reflections made against the late
Treasurer of State for purchasing Of
me for the State certain bills of ex.
change on New York, to meet the in
terest on the public debt.
| deeply regret to see these refcc-
tions. l know that they are unjust
to that gentleman. These reflections
grow out of misrepresentation of the
facts. No just man who understands
the circumstances under which the late
Treasurer of State bought said bills
OF exchange, could censure him. j
was engaged in banking in this city.
and just sold the State some $40, 900
$1,000 paid. At the time the Treas
nrer of State bought the said bills
OF exchange, (bills in question, with
certificates of deposite and currency,
! was just as confident Of their being
promptly paid as | was Of my exist
ence. l did not believe that any con-
tingency would happen that could pre-
vent their payment, and SO assured
the Treasurer of State. Yet an unpre-
cedented rush upon me of my credi-
tors. and rapid and unprecedented
fall in the price Of produce and proper
ty broke me down and made it impos.
sible to meet said bills NV inability
to do so has occssioned me more dis.
tress than any other event of my life,
and would be utterly unbearable if
did not feel certain that the State will
fully realize every dollar that owe
her. And as to the late State Treas.
know that he would never have plac'
ed dollar Of the funds of the State
in my bank. or in my hands. if hs
had doubted in the least that il would
be promptly paid, tor he was the
most cautious and careful man that
ever did business with. | shall neve
cease my efforts until every dollar O
principal and interest is paid.
Yours respectfully, 4, NAY.
