Life in .BaDan.

The Ne,o York Tribune has occasional let
tiers from Japan, which give the details of
interest. The following paragraph from a
recent letter is descriptive:
Nothing in Japan viii impress the strang-
er more Iorcibly than the exceeding still
ness of It's rural life nor is it in the country
alone that the tendency to quiet is apparent
There is little boisterousness in every day
life of the Japanese. The farmer swearing
at his refractory OK or horse, the master or
mistress loudly chiding negligent or un-
willing servant, to the editication of neigh
borhood, are sights and sounds more ger
main to our civilized ways than those of
these rude people. Many is the time when,
walking solitary field in some by-path,
have come suddenly on a farmer leading
homeward his laden beast. The animal
snuffs the stranger, and in alright lunges
away, breaking his leading rope and spill
ing his load.
Patiently the peasant goes to work to
soothe his frightened beast, not pounding
him, gathers his spilled load, apologies for
the trouble he has made, and goes on again,
leaving one TO reflect on the lesson of pas
tence and forbearance taught by the rude
peasant. On the great thoroughfare of the
Tokaido the daily throng passes by, sliding
smoothly along in stocking feet and sandals

The Phorogra phic Grin.

Many of us have often remarked how diff
ferently our friends look in their pictures
TO what they do in real life. Under the
above caption, Dickens, in "All the Year
Roulrl," partly explains the matter and
treats the subject very readily. He says:
"ln turning over the leaves of an album we
frequently pass our acquaintances without
even nod. Howis this? The photograph
may be irreproachable as work OF art and
tits impossible to be other than transcript
of what was presented to the camera. How
comes it, then, that 1t is not likeness?
Simply, because the original one was, at the
critical moment, unlike himself. When
about to be photographed, one is apt to feel
that, like Marshal Ney, the eyes Of Europe
are upon him, that according TO the position
he assumes. judgment will be passed on his
good or bad figure. aWkwardness, or grace.
He wishes to present himself en- paper to an
admiring, not to critical public. A nerv-
GUS consciousness, moreover that perhaps
a guinea or two is involved in the ope-
ration, tends materially to add to his
discontinue. Trivial as this cOnsidera-
tion may appear, it eXerts a far greater in
fluence on the expression than most persons
are willing to acknowledge, even to them
selves. Placed in position always chosen
by the operator (being, to save himself the
trouble of re-arranging accessories, precise
ly the same as that which. the last sitter oc-
cupied), his head screwed into vice be-
hind, he is told to look at an identical spot
on the wall, and keep still. Thus posted,
he regards the further operation with much
the same feelings of distrust as he would
those of a dentist. In Imagination he
bears the sharp rattle of the forceps or the
punch. His breathing becomes thicker and
quicker as the critical moment arrives, his
h.aar l.ya liz
delightful condition of mind and body, he
is enjoined to keep quite still, and put on
a natural expression, as if expressions were
as easy to put on as gloves The inevitable
consequence is that he 'grins horribly
CHASTITY SMILE the like of which never
passed over his features before. Yet both
operator and sitter wonder why the portrait
is so very unlike" -

The CIrcas.lan slave Trade. >

A CoDstantinople letter to London pa-
per, under date of April 10Th, contains the
following about the slave trade: -
Notwithstanding the recent nominal abo-
lition of the trade in Circassian slaves, the
traffic is still vigorously carried on. Two
days ago, however.a a batch ofg77 girls on
the eve o6embarking in the Golden Horn
for Alexandria, were stopped and brought
before the commission recently named to
inquire into and put stop to the trade.
Their owner produced regular permit tor
the lot, signed by the Chief of the Old Bu-
reau which formerly controlled this traffic,
and which, strangely enough, is still in
technical existence; but. Notwithstanding
this license. the dealer himself was sent to
prison and the girls placed in the Circassian
Khan or refuge, which has been appropri-
ated to these immigrants for some months
past. T ''''i ID 't'rIT1
number of other arrests have since
been made-of thirteen dealers in all
clearly showing that, while official credit
has long been taken for the abolition of
this nefariOus branch Of commerce, it has
up to the present thriven nearly as briskly
as at any time since the piping days of Sui
tan Mahmond, when houris of every age,
price and color were openly exposed for
sale In their special bazaar in Stamboul.--
The recent Circassian immigration has been
admirably improved by both dealers and
purchasers; aud at Trebizond Treboli, Var
ma, and other points of debarkation, boys
and girls of all ages have been bought up
by the score at drug prices. In justice to
the Porte, however, it should he said that 1t
has strictly forbidden the traffic, but the To-
cal commissioners" and other functiona-
ries. have winked at it and profited accord
ingly. iHr. r... .... ..........

GENERAL--I send you a. letter for Gener-

courier, will check his career. He may
mistrust telegraph, therefore better send
the original, for he cannot mistake my
handwriting, with which he Is familiar
He seems to have his blood up, and will be

General Baker sent in to me, wanting to
surrender his command, on the theory that
the whole Confederate army was surren-
dered. l explained to him, or his staff Of

he thought proper. He seems to have dis
banded his men, deposited few arms about
twenty miles from here, and himself awaits
your action. | will not hold him, his men,
or arms subject to any other condition 9TH

l shall look for Major Hitchcock back
from Washington on Wednesday, and shall
promptly notify you of the result. By the
action of Gen. WeitzPl in relation to the
Virginia Legislature, feel certain we will
have no trouble on the score OF recognizing
existing State Governments. 1t may be the
lawyers will want us to define more minute
ly what is meant by theguarantee of rights
of persons and property. 1t may be con-
strued into a compact tor us TO undo the
past as to the rights of slaves aud 'leases Of
plantations" on the Mississippi, OF ''vacant
and abandoned" plantations. / wish you
would talk to the best men you have OH
these points, and, If possible, let us in our
final convention make these points so clear
as to leave no room for angry controversy.
| believe that if the South would simply
and publicly declare, what we all feel, that
slavery is dead, you would inaugurate
an era of peace and prosperity that would
soon efface the ravages OF the past four
years of war. Negroes would remain in
the South, and afford you abundance of
cheap labor, which otherwise will be driven
away and it will save the country the sense
less discussions which have kept us all in
hot water for fifty years. ...
Although, strictly speaking, this is no
subject of military convention, yet / am
honestly convinced that our simple declar-
alton of a result will be accepted as good
law everywhere. OF course | have not a
single word from Washington on this or
any other point of our agreement, but
know the effect of such step by us will be
universally accepted. ... ... 1.u

OIL Lands in these States. selected with care and
judgment by practical men, after prospecting and
examining the most productive regions and locali-
ties. A large part Of ii is situated on Dunkard
creek, Green county, Pennsylvania, where. in pro-
portionto developments, the quantity and quality
Of the Oil found, is superior to Oil creek, it
manding higher price in the Pitt burg market.
The lands in West Virginia are located in Mon
ongelia and Wetzell counties. and are considered
among the best in the State.
In Ohio, the Company property is located in Knox
county, where the indications are most favorable,
Oil Of superior character as lubricator being
found at depth Of $50 feet on adjacent lands, and
within few feet cf the Cor panv's property.
The Company are already sinking one well, and
have arranged to commence two more as soon as the
necessary machinery can be put on the greund.-

Barber. Sergeant Thomas MILESTONE, and
several other members Of the First Regimental
Battalion, arrived home on Thursday evening.
They will remain for few days, in order to

1t Is to be hoped that they may succeed in
securing one or two hundred recruits for their
organization. As it is now, there are only
thirty.five men ft for duty, to represent that
magnificent battalion, long the sole pride of
our State, the crack regiment of the finest

around-no colors to cheer their pride and am
bition-no officers to look to and protect their
interests. Some of the brave men who have
been for nearly four years in the service, and
are entitled to promotion, cannot be mustered
in. because their companies have so few men.
Under such circumstances, it IL to be hoped
that recruits sufficient to fill up both companies
to the maximum will be obtained, or the name
