Japanes Oddities.

One great popularity of the people is
their mania for squatting; they seem to do
everything 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 opposite of ours, that it almost re.
solves itself into rule that everything
goes by contraries. When they cook a
goose, instead of putting the goose on the
fire they put the fire in the goose, thus
making great saving of fuel. In planning
or saving board they plane or saw to-
wards themselves instead of from them
selves. When you 60 into house, instead
OF taking off your hat you take off your
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 vegetable productions.
They have carried the art of making pa
per to great perfection. DR.. Mcgowan
showed an overcoat made of paper, per,
fectly strong and serviceable. In this
country we have paper collars, but in ia
pan they go further, and have paper hand.
kerchiefs, which are very beautiful aud
soft, and Of very fine texture. But they
are more delicate than we, in one respect.
After they have used handkerchief 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.

To Hang or Not to Hang.

We cannot find time or space for an ex-
posture of all the misrepresentation, mis-
statements and evidences of mental chaos,
which are daily sent US with regard to
the proposed execution Of certain leaders
of the late rebellion; yet some of the
most mischievous among them seem wor-
thy of serious consideration. For in
stance: Mr.. A. j. Smith, of Dauville,
Pa, favors us with an elaborate miscon.
ception of all We have thought or said on
this subject, whence we Gull the following
points that seem worthy of attention.
Says he:
"Ihe leaders of the Rebellion, accord
ing to the Constitution Gas shown by a
leading article in your paper few days
ago. are guilty of treason, for which the
law claims that they should suffer death !;
and, if so, why should not justice be ad-
ministered %
Answer.-No, Mr. Smith ! the Consti-
tuition does not say that "the leaders" es-
pecially are guilty of treason, but that all
of our countrymen who have been con-
cerned in "levyiDg war against the Uni
ted States, adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort" are thus
guilty and the law prescribes death as
their punishment. Not one less than
THO Millions of American men and WON.
en- have been thus guilty of treason, and
are exposed to death by hanging as the
legal penalty of that crime. Now, you
do not propose actually to hang all these
men, women, boys and girls, any more
than we do; the largest plumber that any
of your school have ever estimated to us
that it was proper to hang was fifty thou
sand; which is but one in forty of the
guilty. Others have reduced the number
to FIVE thousand, one thousand, and even
lower. Now, what right have you, who
propose to hang fortieth, or much
smaller proportion, of the guilty, to put
on such airs to us, who would treat all
the rebels precisely as you would treat the
immense majority? Where is tho differ
ence in principle between us? And which
of US evinoes the greater consistency?
Says Mr.. Smith again:
at is my opinion (and believe I ex.
press the feelings of thousands Of your
readers that, if the leaders Of the rebel.

Virginia.

Martin L. Conway, a well-known aboli-
ZIONIST who has settled in Richmond since
its evacuation by the rebels, writes to the
Tribune to contradict the statement of its
Washington correspondent that in the re-
cent election for members of the Legisla-
ture "the disunionists swept the State"
We copy bis letter, which possesses some
points of interest
SIR Il am requested by some of the
people here to write you line, correcting
the statement of your Washington cores
pendent, that in the recent election for
members Of the Legislature "the Disun-
ionists swept the State" Your correspon-
dent has been grossly imposed upon in
this matter, and without designing to do
so, has, nevertheless, fagrantly misrepre.
sented the case. I1'
In the first place, there has no general
election taken place in Virginia since the
Restoration. The election to which al
fusion is made was special one, held in
but six counties and of them returns
have as yet been received from only three.
I am informed upon the best authority
that of the persons chosen in the three
counties heard from, all were Union men
before the war, except the ones chosen in
Alexandria. ..'t a,
In the next place, it is fact that there
are no longer any "Disunionists" in Vir-
ginia. The people are oil tor the Union,
having failed in their effort for separate
government, and recognizing that failure
as conclusive, they accept the Union
without reservation, intending to stand by
it in good faith. The National Govern
ment is to be theirs and their children's
forever, and to that Government, albeit
they would not have voluntarily chosen it,
they will bear faithful allegiance. This
is the exact position of ninety-nine hun
dredths of the people of Virginia.
deeply regret to see the spirit of pro-
scription which many persons entertain
towards the Southern people in their pres.
ent condition-a people whose kindred
blood and heroic character, to say nothing
of their misfortunes, should commend
them to our sympathy and respect. This
spirit of prescription is wrong. The
Shareholders Rebellion was preoipitated
by irresistible forces, and it is unjust to
hold individuals responsible for it. I
should rather convict Thomas Jefferson
than Jefferson Davis of being its author
but the truth is, it was an event developed
in the progress of civilization. Shall we

have committed error, however grievous,
when it is manifest, that their error was
ordered by Providence, in His wisdom,
to advance the interest of mankind2
With regard to the "incidentaP ques-
tons connected with the war, l find the
Southern people as reasonable as could be
expected or desired. They consider sla-
very dead and gone, and are glad that it is
80. They are disposed to accommodate
themselves to the new system of labor,
and to promote the well being of the black
man to the best of their ability. As to
negro suffrage, it is new idea here but
l am sure it will, in some form or other,
be ultimately adopted by the people.

FAR MERS'
INDICATOR,

Woodruff's Portable Barometer.
THIS INSTRUMENT should be in
l. the hands Of every Agriculturist, as it
unerringly points out any change in the
weather, and thus directs the farmer how
to shape his work and save crop that,
without Barometer, might be caught out
and seriously injured, if not destroyed.
1t is simple in construction, cheap in
price, not liable to get out of order, and
the only perfect, portable Barometer in
use. Being Mercurial Barometer, it is
accurate and reliable for scientific pur-
poses, and is used by the q. S. Coast Sur
vey, and at the Smithsonian Institute,
Washington, besides being recommended
by the most distinguished agriculturists Of
the country, as well as by host of pro-
fessors and scientific journals.
We name few that have endorsed this
Barometer as superior to all others Sci
entifc American, American Agriculturist,
Country Gentleman, Boston Journal, Phil.
Ledger, Marshall P. Wilder, Orange Judd,
Professors Henry, Hackley, Holmes, Carr,
Williams, Douglass, SC.
The cost of the instrument is within
the reach of all, ranging in price from So
to 1928. We have five different styles,
from plain maple case to the finest carved
rosewood. Most of these styles have
Thermometer attached. Styles of this in
strument may be seen at this office, and
at the Hotel of John S. Dallam, Bel Air.

Though loftier mountains bind the Rhine,

And virtue blesses all their homes
With pare felicity.

Pours down thy mountain slopes amain,
Thou roll'st majestic by.

And DER the hills, at shut of day,
Upon the war-path urge his way
And make each creek and hillside rife
With war-whoop shrll, and sound of strife,

And clolhe again in human mould
The shades that nightly stalk each void;
And ere they pass beyond my ken,
Wave DER them the magic pen,
And bid them live for aye.
Mine is less ambitious role;
And though oft at evening stroll
Along the path across the hill,
And see the shadows quickly steal
Athwart my way, with quiet tread
wander on, still spirit-led,
To reach the ripping Shore;
Whose sparkling waters met my sight
When first my eyes beheld the light;
And when ut last take my rest,
Then lightly on thy sinking breast
pray my kindly loan shall press,
And fold me in that long caress
Which the last trump shall break

One is the kind that appear best abroad
the girls that are good for balls, rides,

is in such things. The other is the kind
that appear best ut homes, the girls that
are useful and cheerful in the dining room,
the sick room, and all the precincts Of

blessing; one is moth, consuming

when the officer recognized Wayne at the
