One great peculiarly of the people is
their mania for squatting; they seem to do
every thing in this position, and even when
a man is blowing in field, he looks as if he
wanted to squat. Their habits in many
things seem to be so often exactly the oppo-
site of ours, that it almost resolves itself
into a rule that every thing goes by contra
ries. When they cook goose, instead Of
putting the goose on the fire, they put the
fire in the goose, thus making a great say
ing of fuel. In planning or saving Il board,
they plane or saw toward themselves in-
stead of from themselves. When you go
into house, instead of taking of your hat,
you take off yonr shoes. Instead of saying
John Smith, they would say Smith John,
and instead Of Mr.. Brown, Brown Mister.
The country is rich in flowers and in vege-
table productions. They have carried the
art of making paper to great perfection,

In this country we have paper collars, but
in Japan they go further, aud have paper
haudkerchiefs, Which are very beautiful
aud soft and of very fine texture. But
they are more delicate than we in one re-
spect. After they have used handker-
chief they throw it away, and are thus
saved the trouble of washerwomen. They
even weave their paper, and make what
may be called paper cloth of it.

MITuRIDATEs AT CHIos.s

MITHRIDATES AT CHIOS.s
BY JOHN O. WHITTIER.
Know'st thou, Oh, slave-cursed land
How, when the Chsn's cup Of guilt
Was full to overflow, there came
Gods justice in the sword of flame,
That. red with slaughter to its hilt,
Blasted in the Cappadocian victor's hand
The heavens are still and far
But, not unheard of awful Jove
The sighing of the island slave
Was answered, when the -Egean wave
The keels of Mithridates Glove,
And the vines shriveled in the breath of war
" Robbers of Chios Hark !"
The victor cried, "to Heavens decree
Pluck your last cluster from the vine,
Drain your last cup of Chan wine
Slaves of your slaves, your doom shall be
In Colchian mines by Phasis rolling dark
Then rose the long lament
From dusk Delphnums holy caves:
The priestess rent her hair and cried,
"Woe woe The gods are sleepless eyed -
And, chained and scourged, the slaves Of slaves,
The lords of Chios into exile went.
" The gods at last pay well "
So Hallas sang her taunting song
"The fisher in his net is caught,
The Chlan hath his master bought
And isle from isle, with laughter long,
Took up and sped the mocking parable.
Once more the slow, dumb years
Bring their avengng cycle round,
And, more than Hallas taught of old,
Our wiser lessons shall be told,
OF slaves uprising, freedom crowned,
To break not WELD, the scourge wet with their
blood and tears.
II is recorded by Nicholas the PerirRtetic, that
the Chans, when subugated by Mithridates of
Coppodocia, were delivered up to their own slaves,
| to be carried away captive 10 COlchs. Athcn1us
considers this a just punishment for their wicked
in first introducing the slave trade into Greece.
From this ancient villainy of the Chians. the pro-
verb arose "The Chan hath bought himself a
master. ~ Y. independent

WAR WITH JAPAN.

" Oath, have been received by telegraph, and
unless the news is much exaggerated. hostllI-
ties between the japanese and the naval forces
Of the United States, Great Britain and France
were in actual progress.
The hostiltiee were commenced, apparently,
BY one Of the Danios, or local princes, hrlng
upon the L s. ship Penbroke, bat the name
Of the place or fort, where this occurred, ls not
given The United Staffns steamer Wyoming,
q screw sloop -of-War, carrying nine guns, ran
down to punish the aggressor. She blew up
the japanese steamer Sarsfeld, sllence1 the
forts, and sank another japanese steamer,
named the Leneck. The Wyoming received
twenty shots and had five men killed and slx
wounded. Her commander therefore deemed
it prudent to return to Kanagawa. The I'm
glish frigate Medusa also, On her voyage from
Nagasaki to Kanagawa, by the inland passage,
was attacked, on the 18th Of July, BY tbs same
forts that had fred upon the Pembroke. She
received twenty-fe ur shots, had four men kill
ed an1 six wounded. On the Oath Of July the
British Admiral had returned to kanagawa III
the Se1niramis The British steamer Credia
had also been fred upon from Japanese bate
ries and forts She returned the ire, landed
troops spiked the guns, and blew up the pow
| der magazine. Two thousand japanese troops
| were reported marching down to attack the
| British vessels, but it was doubted whether
| they would come within range OF the ship S
guns. The Japanese guns appear to have
| been effectively manned and skilfully han
| died.
During the forenoon Of June 24th, each OF
the foreign Ministers had received official noti-
fcation that the open ports were closed. The
| U. S. Minister and Consul had retired on
| board the Wyoming, and the other officials on
| board their respective national vessels. Goods
i'm ported were being transhipped to Shangh ae'
Excitement and alarm everywhere prevailed,
and it was then expected that all foreign resi-
dents would go on board the ships. The best
of feeling prevailed between the naval French,
United States and English commanders. 1t
was then determined to hold Yokohama, II
possible.
This result was not unexpected. Since the
return of the japanese Embassy from the United
| States party has been acquiring power IN j a.
pan bitterly hostile ointercourse with foreigners
and especially to the residence Of any foreigners
upon Japanese territory, though treaties exist

Of residence to their subjects in defined islands
