Marvels of Japanese Jusglery.


The following will be read with interest
by the curious:
l viii mention but one or two items. A
grOphic writer upon Japan some time since
made the world acquainted with the most
graceful and beautiful, and at the same time
wonderful, of all the feats performed by the
jugglers Of that country. They were the
top and butterfly trick. A top is set spin
ming in ale air, on its descent it is caught
on 1seGA II, Of sword, where it whirls
metrily; then it is brought along the keen
edge 10 the handle; then it renews its flight
to be again caught, and ultimately it Is sent,
like miniature Blondin, across a silken
thread which is invisible to the audience;
meantime it descends the slack, sometimes
ascends the hill, but is always sure Of foot
and walizes its way over the narrow path
from the boxes Of theatre to the back o.
the stage as readily as across a drawing
room. The butterflies are cut out Of many.
colored paper, and fly about as if endowed
with life. In obedience to the wave OF far
they fly high or fv low; now they fut,el
over lady's boquet, now they light upor
the spray of wreath, now they gyrate
molL-liie. round gas-jet. This feat alOn,
is sufficient TO take the town by storm.

Decrease of the Alps,

A modern writer on Nature and Art has
spoken of the gradual but sure decrease of
body in the Alps mountains; his thoughts
and observations the traveller may easily
verify. 1t is written of men that they all
do fade as leaf. The hills, also, are
wasting and wearing away, and slow ly run
ming down to the sea. The valley is wit
ness TO the mountains weakness. The
glazier puverzes the rock, and every
mountain streamlct carries down its contri-
button to the plain, perhaps each drop
sand grain. The waste Of the mountains ls
forming new earth. Nearly every Alpine
lake is a proof Of this. The Rhine depos-
its in lake Constance have formed large
delta. What was formerly O large bay in
Lake Lucerne is now marsh, and in other
part the rocks that one little brook has
brought down have nearly stopped naviga-
ton. The earth that the Rhine has gather
ed has shortened the southern horn Of Lake
Geneva nine miles. By observing and
weighing the amount Of sediment in a cer-
tain quantity Of water taken from a gazIer
streamlet, the number of tons which Mont
Blanc annually loses was at once estimated.
1t thus becomes matter almost within the
range Of mathematical calculation to COM
pute the number Of years when the noun
tains shall have yielded their strength, and
when the chill shall have been made low" "

A THoUsAND YEARs OLp.-In the year
1852, Russia celebrated throughout the vast
expanse of her empire the completion of the
thousandth year of her national existence.
1t was kept with all the soIemnity due to
the important event, The Russian empire
was founded in S52; in which year the Rus
slams, or Rossians, probably of scandinavian
origin, made their first appearance on th'
shores of the Bosphorous.
