Yv,,.ow sx,r.--As the ladies are in.

YELLOW SKlN. --fAs tne iaui0S oic IT terested in whatever improves or injures the skin, we reproduce the following spe- culations, on the sallowness of complexion, from the Philadelphia Ledger:
 If our western friends can in any way teach their wives, daughters or cooks to keep the pearlash out of thelr bread, all the yellow people, especially the yellow children, who are supposed to be turned yellow by the fever and ague and bilious levers, will soon be turned white. It IS great mistake to suppose that the yellow counlenances of the West come from bile. when it is only the enormous quantities ol pearlash eaten in the bread that is refiec- ted through the skin. Bread is the staff of life, it is said-and so 1t is-but it IS the staff of death, too, in this country. Dad bread kills as many people here as bad whisky So many people eat poisonous U: pearlash for bread that they die by inches. Dyspe psia--that great monster disease ol the country, that deranges the liver, brings on costiveness, and thus finally kills the human viclim--is half the time, pearlash. Here in the East, out of New England, we have nearly driven off the pearlash- saIeratus cooks, but not altogether. Pearl ash lives here yet in bread, but in cities and towns we have nearly whipped out the murderers. In the distant Western towns, beyond the good hotels of the lakes and rivers, pearlash, under the name ot saIeratus, is king. It is pearash for breakfast pearlash for dinner, and pearl- ash for supper. It,is not any wonder, then, that the people of the East turn vel low when they go West, and sicken.; not of fever and ague, bilious and congestIve levers, but of pearlash three times day.

Tar CANADIAN Pass on THE PRESIDENTIAL
EIEcrroS--we perceive that the Canadi "A
newspapers take great deal Of interest In the
late election and the secession movement In the
South. From the fact that every one OF them Is
devodpg leading editorials to The subject, we
infer that there is almost as much interest felt
In Canada on that question as there L. here.
The tone Of the Canada papers generally Is "a
vorable 10 Lincoln's election, but they do not
disguise the feeling that, should that event re-
sult In dissolution of the Union, II would be a
very disastrous affair. They are skep,ical, how
ever, like many people at the North as to the real
intentions Of the South, and do not believe that
secession IL meant by the demonstrations OF the
cotton States; but when the accounts from these
quarters Of the lsst few days form the subiec.,
OF comment, they may change their views upon
this matter.

THE "MARsEfILArsEr AT CHARrEsrox.-The
popular Inauguration Of the revolution of an
Independent Southern republic at Charleston on
Saturday Last, according TO the graphic report
Of the proceedings on the oc ,asion which We
published yesterday, must convince the most
incredulous Northern mind that South Carolina
Is going out of the Union. All the popular
manifestations attending the elevation of the
Palmetto banner strongly remind Us of the re-
evolutionary expressions and symbols Of the
people Of Boston In advance of the
Declaration Of Independence of l776. We
note difference, however, In the favorite pieces
Of music on that occasion and on this. AT Boston

Mr.. LINCOLN ON Hrs DIGNIrY.-In despatch
from Springfield, Illinois, dated the 18th inst
we are told that Mr.. Lincoln remarked to day
to visiter, in regard to an expected public
definition Of his policy in advance of his inau-
gural, as follows" During the last sir years
haze placed my rie,cs on all public questions so
fully and frequently on record, that all those de-
string can learn them by simply referring 10 It.
If my past assertions obtain no credit, present
ones triu be treated no better"
How does Mr. Lincoln know this? Has he
ever promulgated his views before as President
elect Of the United States! Are not ALI his
opinions upon record the mere opinions of q
local politician, striking at no higher object than
the election Of United States Senator by an
Illinois Legislature. Standing upon the verge
OF the revolution Of this glorious confederacy,
in consequence Of Mr.. Lincoln's election as the
Presidential candidate of an ant-slavery party,
is this time for Mr.. Lincoln to stand upon his
dignity and refuge to speak, for fear that he
may not be believed? Come, come, Honest
Abe Lincoln" this Is not time for ceremony
or equivocation. Speak out. The South will
listen. Speak the truth that is In you, and your
opinions will be respected Speak out for the
Union, and you will be heard.

The FIRST FRUfTs or TUE JAPANESE MISSION
Preceding the arrival of the japanese Ambassa-
dors in this country came Japanese steamer
the Candipmarruh- to San Francisco, piloted
by American seamen-the first time that a yes
sci of tba. empire had entered an American
port This was the beginning of friendly rela-
tions with an Oriental nation hitherto governed
by the most exclusive policy towards foreign
countries The mission of the Ambassadors fol-
lowed, with what good result remains yet to be
fully developed; bat we see the first fruits of
the opening Of friendly relations With Japan Ia
the good feeling manifested by the government
and people there towards us, on the return Of
the Candinmarruh to Jeddo. The late de-
spatcbes Of Mr.. Harris to the State Department
put us in possession of the fact that the Tycoon
sent some of lis highest officers to our Minister
to thank the authorities and citizens OF San
Francisco for the manner in which the steamer
was received there, and to express the kindliest
feelings towards this country.
We can readily imagine that these sentiments
of good will will be increased tenfold when the
Embassy returns with Its account of the grand
receptions it met with all through the country,
and all the Princes saw here. The statements
Of the officers Of the Candinmarruh, ii appears,
created quite revolution of opinion in the
minds of those opposed to the treaty and We
have no doubt that the report of the Ambassa-
doris will demolish almost entirely every shadow
of opposition to the commercial relations pro-
posed between the two countries. Mr.. Harris
argues, from the fact that the Japanese sailed
the steamer home alone-the first time the Paci-
fc was ever navigated by Asiatics-t that the
Japanese are progressive people, highly sus-
cep,ible Of Improvement. We think everything
in their history goes to prove this, and no
thing, perhaps, more than the observation, the
interest, and the desire to acquire information,
displayed by the Ambassadors and their suite
while in the United States. In view of the
friendly feeling generated by the report Of the
Japanese officers, and the information which
the Ambassadors are bearing home with them,
we may look forward to the prospect of cult.
waiting a profitable trade ere long with Japan,
and developing by means of American COM
merce the dormant enterprise of that curious
people. We only hope that the course of
events in this country will be 20 happily and
wisely directed through the present crisis as to
leave an undivided and prosperous nation to
avail iHelf Of the advantages Of Oriental com.
