THE Icelanders have a curious custom, and
most efFectual one, OF preventing horses
from straying. Two gentlemen, for instance,
are riding together without attendants, and
wishing TO alight for the purpose of visiting
some object at distance from the road,
they tie the tail of one horse to the head OF
the other. In this State it is impossible
that they can move either backward or for
ward, one pulling one way and the other the
reverse.

SCENERY OF JAPAN.

A correspondent Of the Alta Califor.
MIA, recently arrived in Japan, gives
the following sccount of its scenery
To any one who has never expe-
rienced what it is to strike the soil OF
new continent l should fail to de-
scribe the keen emotion, akin to ro-
nance, with which on the twenty sec
ond morning out hung over the rail OF
the steamer China, and saw for the first
time the coast of Japan, the terraced
hills shopping down TO the sea, and
Fusiyama, the sacred mountain of the
Japanese, rising more grandly than
Vesuvius rises above the bay of Naples
its cone-sbaped summit covered with
eternal snow.
As We steamed up the bay, those
strange objects which make Japan the
most interesting countly in the world
TO visit began TO meet our view. Flat
bot,omed boats, propelled by oars
formed of two pieces of plank dashed
together, crowded around the ship; the
backs and arms of the boa,men, many
of whom we're almost entirely naked.
we're tatrooed With figures Of wild-ani
mails and various fantastic representa-
tons. Several officers, each wearing
two swords. made their appearance;
and in a sail-boat, which s~ep, by the
bow of the vessel, we caught our first
glimpse of Japanese lady.
l can never too much admire the
freshness of the verdure aud richness
and variety of the foliage along the
shore. The constant rains ard moist
atmosphere produce vegetation much
like that Of England only incomparabiy
greeuer and more luxuriaDt. Many OF
The little inlets along the coast and
slopes on the hill-sides form pictures
worthy of the pencil of Birrstadt. The
charm of nll is the exquisite blending
of tropical with northeren vegetation
which is met with all through Japan;
the bamboo, orange, fig and palm inter
Mingled with the larch, beech. live oak
and pine. Japan is especially rich in
the cOnif-rae, and many new varieties |
have been discovered Every available
spot is under cultivation; The houses OF
the country people peep from among |
green trees; The gorges in the noun
,ains are filled with a luxuriant under |
growth. and in many places the grand
sweep of the Tokeida, or Royal Road
" hich extends throughout the kingdom |
between rows of grand old trees, equals
the avenues of Hyde Park or Versailles !
I do not wsnder that, on account of
rs luxusriant vegetation and perpetual
verdnre Japan has been styled the Cey |
lon of Norihern Asia.

Since the Presidential cleo
ton we have studiously avoid
ed engaging in politics. We
have endeavored to turn our
attention to subjects, which we
contend to be of more interest
to the country at large. The
Radicals have now held the
reins Of Government for more
than eight years, and still hold
them with a firm tenacious
grasp, and will continue to
hold them for another four
years at least. The most ignor-
ant knowing this, then, should
the minority party attempt to
battle against the DEGREES of
fate? The whites of the South,
are tied hand and foot, and lie
PROSTATE upon their backs at
the mercy of their conquerors
and tyrants. We can expect
no favor at the hands of the
Radicals, and the more we
struggle to break the letters
which bind us, the firmer will
the tyrants riyet the chains on
our manacled limbs.
We must bide our time!-
There is but one way to whip
our enemies and that is by max
ing allies of our former slaves!
Our negroes materially assisted
our enemies in making politi-
cal slaves of us, and we can in
return use them to our advan-
tage. The negro is here
amonsgt us-this is his legiti-
mate home; his ancestors be-
fore him are buried beneath the
sod of the South, and here the
black man wishes to remain
He is free, to all intents and
purposes; the laws Of our coun-
try, obnoxious though they be
have made him so. Then il
behoves the people of this
country to endeavor to elevate
the negro to a higher standard
in the scale of enlightenment
and morality, We can do this
without elevating him to a so
cial position with ourselves; we
need not make companions O

A Washington letter writer
reports that recently an Ohio
Congressman received a petit
ton, signed by 800 persons ask
ing the appointment of a wo-
man as Postmaster, and three
days later had received twenty
five confidential letters from
the signers, informing him that
she was not fit for the place.
and that they had not the corlr-
age to refuse to sign her papers.
What a commentary upon
the depravity of human nature!
Often is this the case: men
lend aid and comfort to that
which they know to be wrong,
simply because they have not
the moral courage to refuse to
Go so. And yet such men pro-
fess to be heightened and hon
orable, when in reality they are
time-serving lick-spittles.
