The Japanese Embassy.

Although much has been written about the
customs of these singular people, yet here are
few items of i'll terest.
Every .!apanese room is furnished with a
copper vessel Of burning Goals, which they
stir up with tongs not much larger than good
seized darning needles. Their tobacco is kept
in closely bound packages stamped with pro-
fuse inscriptions. The Japanese method Of
preparing tea is peculiar. Their hot water is
kept in little kettles hung over the GOALS
Small portions of tea are placed in little cups
half filled with cold water, and to this the hot
water is added. They use 10 sugar, US it would
destroy the fragrance.
Another favorite dish with them isSSirooko.
This is made from u small berry not unlike
coffee. 1t is poured into large cups and mixed
with equal quantities of sugar until it forms
a paste and is eaten in this state.
The Saki, or wine of the japanese is of a
clear red color, and is drank from very small
cups. 1t has Il tranquilizing and cheering
effect.
The humor Of the interpreter "Yataiesi'-
who has been nicknamed "Tommy''-fndse ex-
preston in quaint tricks. The other day he
got Il small boy i'll to his room, and rigging h i'm
up in japanese costume, sent him about the
hotel. A few nights ago he obtained a paper
garotte collar, and put it about his brown
neck. With this adjournment he paraded him
self about. Tommy is greatly taken with
American women, and desires to find suita-
BILE wife and settle down here. He has already
learned to sing and whistle, and has mastered

carved turtle is the japanese symbol of longe-
witty, and they bestow it upon their friends
when they hear that any of their family are
sick.
A deaf gentleman recently went in to the ia
panese quarter aud attempted to establish a
communication with Booien- yitZe, one of the
interpreters, but that worthy. not unders tand-
ing the use CT the ear tube, commenced blow =
ing down it, to the gentleman's no small dis
comiiture. When Booien discovered his mis-
take, he was excessively chagrined, and did
not recover for an hour.
The Japanese think their sketches are su-
perior to those published in the New York
illustrated papers, and they laugh at the blum
ders which "our own artists have made.
The japanese are good at legerdemain.--

MYSTERIOUS BELL RIN8INa.-The Proyi-
dence (R. l. Journal gives an account of a
case OF mysterious bell ringing in that CITY,
The ringing commenced on Thursday evening
and continued at intervals for some three
hours. So annoying did the ringing become,
that the wire OF one bell was detached, and
the other bell was muflled BY being complete
ly envelcped in napkin. The phenomenon
was witnessed by several persons, who tho.
roughly examined every par, Of the bell appa-
ratus, but could discover cause which
tended to throw any light upon the occur
renee. One gentleman present took hold Of
the knob and held it firmly he says there was
much force exerted to move the knob while he
held it, and that he distinctly felt a power
attempting to pull it. AS soon AS he let go,
the bell would begin TO move, and flew rapidly
backward and forwards as though some one
pulled and then suddenly let go. He held the
knob several times, and in every instance with
the same result. At the same time, the bell
would ring by movement commun cated to
the wire bet weeu the first and second direc-
tor. One gentleman present attempted to
seize the wire, and as soon as his hand ap-
preached it the ringing would cease, and the
other bell commence ringing Suddenly turn
ing 10 seize hold of this, it would stop, and
the first commence ringing again. He tried
this repea tedly. and in every instance the mo-
ton would cease in the one and commence in
the other. The same was true of other parties.
For a fortnight the little girl who usually an
swers the bell has been TO the door and found
no one there, and within two or three days
has been several times in 4 day.

now almost daily transpiring which point to
the repossession by the Jews of their own

TELEGnApHINa IN Is60.-Most of the tele.
graphing in our. country is now performed
neither with the Morse, House. Balm, nor any
OF the visual recording telegraphs, but simply
by sound. Ten years ago each line had most
complete set of apparatus. The receiving re-
gister was made with the creates. care, SO that
the clock-work would move with the greatest
perfection, and the various appliances had TO
be arranged in a particular form. The opera
tor nut the machinery in notion and he read
from paper the dispatch as it was slowly re-
ceiyed. AS he read aloud, acopyist near by
wrote it down with q pencil, and when fin
ished il was handed to the copying clerk, who
wrote it out, put it in an envelope, and dis
patched it by q messenger.
Expert Biographies at length dispensed with
the copying clerks, and soon after the record.
ing instruments were laid aside. The first ope.
rator who practically received messages by
sound was Mr.. Edward +. Barnes, Of New
York city This is now the daily practice Of
all the leading telegraph stations in America,
only the local or interior stations have ia use
recording apparatus.
Mr. Shaffner states in his work that some
wears ago, as president OF q telegraph line, he
made a rule. forbidding the receiving of mes
sases by sound, but since then it has been re-
yersed and no operator can get employment
in a first class station unless he can receive by
sound. At the Cincinnati stations alone there
is not single recording instrument; the mys.
terious agent speaks through the wires; the
pen has given place TO the tongue Of the light.
