CosTLY PLAYrHING.-The great Central Park,
tanning it will be so great, that the Commissioners
are trying to devise system of license which will
relieve the Taxpayers of portion of their expen-
ses. Licenses for refreshment rooms, for perambu-
ators, or bathchairs for invaids, to be allowed on
the walks, and for boats on the lake, may all be
made to yield revenue; and it is even proposed
that villas and terraces be erected within the park
to be rented out to wealthy citizens. Visiters
would not be likely to make much distinction be-
tween public and.private rights in such cases.

Tue GILDED BAR OF LEAD.-The San Fran.
cisco Bulletin, has the following additional
intelligence in regard to the lead bar sent a,
gold from that city to Paris:
The officers who hunted up the case were
Lees and johnson. The TACT that there WA.
no tampering with the bar after it left San
Francisco, was made pretty clear when In,
lead, and the linen bag in which it was sowu
up here, had been recovered from Paris. Il.
the bug which was identified showed under
the microscope that it never WAS more thsu
once sewed up. Attempts were made t.
throw some light VI on the author of the
swindle hy examining Carl Gerhold, broth
er-ln-lhw OF kohler, who was convicted nl
stealing about 5000 worth of properly from
hOhler, for which offence he was sent 10
prison for one year. Gerhold described th,
Tar, professed that he made it for Kohler
and said that he put his own private mark
upon 1t, which corresponds with a mark ON
the bar Another party, IA painter, said he
had once heard the two brothers-in-lav
speaking Of the bar Of lead, that had been
palmed off for gold"
Koher publishes card in which he snvs
that the statement that he had shipped from
San Francisco to Paris or any other place, a
bar of lead for gold is basely and unquali-
tidely false. He promises in few DAYS ia
publish all that he knows in relation to the
transaction.

From Japan.

The following extract from letter publish
ed in the London illustrated Nel0s, relates to
matters OF domestic economy in japan, not
usually mentioned by correspondents
The fruit season is over. Apricots, peaches,
nectarines, pears apples and loqnats, are the
luxurics we are pentifully supplied with but
when tell you that the japanese have par
tality for unripe fruit, you can imagine how
few we eat, since all are as hard as bullets,
and for love or money We could not purchase
a ripe specimen of any Of them. We stew
them, aud thus manage to have a treat This
season is-no wonder-a deadly one to the
natives UnriPe fruit is not eaten with i'm.
punity SO the cholera comes in to claim its
victims. Duiug the last two months as many
as twenty persons pei, diem have died at this
place.
The scenery Of Japan is perfection noun
tans. valleys, lakes, rivers, and all the requi-
sites for variety in beauty; forests, teiraced
hills, with unceasing vegetation-in fact, all
that the artist seeks, is to be met with in alt
loveDess but there the fasination of Jap
anese exile ends. This is the bright side of
our picture but have we not beautiful spots
at home SO for scenery, the tourist will not
come SO far as Japan and he will regret it if
he does
The japanese are ruled by two Emperors
one to govern their eternal welfare, second
to look after their temporal beatitude. He
has priaceS to rule the provinces, who pay him
HON &c yearly, and appoints governors when
| they are deemed necessary. These princes or
governors are all watched and Spied upon by
other appointed officers, and if they do wrong
they are reported at Jeddo. The consequence
is sef-murder, Or disappearance. All ranks
are under the authority of these great men,
aud they, in thoir turn, have to pay homage
| generally in a pecuniary manner-i. E., they
give Of their salaries, gains, or incomes, very
decent slice to win the great mans protection.
Thus their Golfers are welI6ed.
The priests, having done their duty 10 their
secular lords, take care to look ont for them
! selves -Judging by appearances, the succeed,
for they are fat and jolly ;they have daily ser
vices-at daybrcak, at noon, and vcspers-the

! The faithful throw some coins on the mattings
which the priests wife, scrupulOusly no at picks
up aud pockets.
! The princes are an important class, act as

ors' orders over the land They have excellent

Fox Lox.-There is often a good deal of
wisdom in the old nursery tales-but it is sur
prising how easily we forget as we grow up
the leasonS they inculcate
A correspondent has sent US one of these,
which we lay before our readers as applicable
in peculiar manner to the present time
Some OF our readers will probably cut it out Of
columns for the amasemeut of their children !;
Others will preserve it for the instruction Of
ripper years. The crafty Fox who played upon
the fears of the poultry, and by that means
decoyed them into his den, is a type of what
is attempted to be done at this moment under
our own eyes.
