JAPANESE PECULIARITIES.

The Japanese, during their stay at the
International hotel, have exhibited great
many peculiarisies, which may be interest
ing to many readers, and, We believe, have
not been told heretofore. They have shown
themselves very easily pleased, and exceed
ingly we'll bred. When asked to try some
dish new to them they do SO; If they like
1t, they continue eating, expressing them
selves pleased; if not, they taste no more,
but never express dislike. The Ambassa-
doris are very dignifed, and command re-
spect. The inferior officers never enter
their apartments without bowling, and the
servants invariably drop upon the knee.
They are all very light eaters, but they
take their meals very quickly; almos,
everything they do slowly, but eating with
them is rapid operation. The subordin-
ates eat nothing but rice, bu, the digni,aries
are fond Of sweet-meats, cakes, ccnfec.ion-
aries Of all kinds, and sauces. None of
thSm eat any meat, except that the dignita-
ries take little chicken, and none OF them
use either milk or butter. They drink both
tea and coffee, and are no sooner through
With their meals, than they 20 to smoking

SEVENTY ACRES PLOUGHED BY STEAM.
Emery's Prairie Farmer has an account of
the new steam plough Of Mr.. Waters, which
the editor has seen in operation at Minooks.
in Grundy county, III. Itturns over Elk fur
rows, nine feet in width, at the Same time,
and in seventy-two minutes, including stops,
it ploughsd rather more than two acres anu
half. The whole cost Of running the ma.
chineis estimated at 80. About seventy I've
acres had been turned over when the account
was written, and the inventor had just COM
menced on still larger job. 1t 10 not pre-
tended that the invention is perfect, but the
editor thinks . decided advance has been
made toward practical solution Of the
problem Of ploughing our prairies by steam.

CT The Japanese thought tho ladies
whom they cav at the Sandwich Islands,
wearing crinoline, actually filled the immense
skirts. One of the men who happened to
touch dress in passing, was much surprised
to find it caving in, and burst into roars Of
laughter at his astonishing discovery.

CO The Cincinnati Commercial says of
the Bell and Everett nominations:
As We have said, neither the opinions nor
the character Of the nominees are such as to
excite popular enthusiasm for the ticket.
For precisely the same reason that it will be
a strong ticket with the small class Of con-
servatives, it will be weak one with the
more progressive masses.

1t appears that the adjournment Of the
Charleston Convention to Baltimore was q
Douglas dodge. After balloting ifty-s
times without the prospect Of nominating
him, quito number Of Douglas' supporters
from New York and the New England
States threatened to drop him and 70 for
some other candidate. This terrified the
Western idolizers of the Little Giant to
such degree that, to save themselves from
defeat, they resorted to the dodge Of an
adjournment.
This course, however, il is thought will
not prove the salvation Of Douglas, its
only effect being to postpone his defeat,
which would certainly have been finally
accomplished at Charleston had bis particu-
lar friends not broken up the Convention and
fed the field.
The Democratic party is broken up, divi-
ded, shattered into pieceo. Even If
Douglas should succeed in getting himself
nominated ct Baltimore, what will the
sshonor0 be worth to him He could not
be elected. With the Democratic party Of
the South divided, Democratic national
triumph 10 hopeless. The South 10 the
Democratic stronghold. She elected Blu
chanan, and no Democrat can ever be elected
President without united South. Should
Douglas be nominated at Baltimore, with
out making all the concessions tho s'Cotton
States" demand, they will oppose him ssto
the bitter end"-that's certain; and the
Republican candidate, il he shall be truly
representative man of Northern sentiment,
will be elected by on overwhelming majority
that We deem certain, too.
The signs Of the times augur well for
much needed political revolution in our
Government, next Fall. The Republicans
the true friends Of the Union and the
Constitution-the true friends of human
liberty and national prosperity and peace
have everything to encourage them for the
future Chicago Journal.

NEGRO RNFATUATION.

A deplorable instance of the mental dark.
ness and obliquity of the African race ha.
just been brought to light. An ebony chat
to! calling himself William Bro cker-s name
which probably belongs to his master
most ungratsfully tired of working for such
hog and hominy as is fresly accorded to
chattels in the patriarcbal State Of South
Carolina-resolved to commit grand lar
ceny of his own body and bones, hide, fea-
lures and wool--as villainous chatte!s have
been known to do ere now-and to this end
slowed himself away on board the steamship
5. K. Spaulding, Of and from Boston,
whence she was about to return richly
freighted with New England Delegates to
the late Democratic National Convention
We had already heard of jumping scout of
the frying pan into the FIRE, and all manner
OF kindred fatuities; but to attempt to
escape from Slavery BY hiding in vessel
whereof Ben. Hallett and Caleb Gushing
had virtual command, goes ahead of any
absurdity within our knowledge. OF course
this fugacious mass Of constitutional prop
erty was seized so soon as he was driven
from his hiding place by hunger; the ves-
sel,s course altered, q southwark steering
vessel thereby intercepted, the negro put
aboard of her, and returned to Baltimore.
whence he will be prom pity forwarded, at a
liberal cost to Uncle Sam, to his master in
Charleston. If that negra>, should ever
again be caught aboard Of a 4 Del chartered
by regiment Of Democratic Office holders
and Office seekers, in the hope of thus es-
Gaping Slavery, he will deserve for his
stupidity a far severer fogging than his
master has now in store for him.--N Y.
