A Might in n Japanese Hotel

AS was about to pass my first night
in Japanese house, i watched anxious
ly the preparations for sleeping. They
were simple enough: mattress in the
form of very thick quilt, about seven
feet long by four wide, was spread on
the floor; and over it was laid an ample
robe, very long and heavily padded
and provided with large sleeves. Hav.
ing put on the night drross, the sleeper
covers himself with another quilt, and
sleeps; /. e., if he has some years prac.
tce in the use of his bed.
But the most remarkable feature
about Japanese bed is the pillow
This is a wooden box about four inches
high, eight inches long, and two inches
wide at the top. 1t has cushion OF
folded papers ON the upper side to rest
the neck on, for the elaborate manner
of dressing the hair does not permit the
Japanese, especially the women, to press
the head on pillow. Every morning
the uppermost paper is taken off from
the cushion, exposing a clean surface
without the expense of washing pill
low.
/ passed the greater part of the night
in learning how to poise my head in
this novel manner; and when finally
closed my eyes, it was to dream that
was slowly beheaded, and to awake a,
the crisis to find the pillow bottom-side
up, and my back resting on the sharp
lower edge of the box. During my stay
in the country l learned many of it,
customs, mastering the use of chop,
sticks, and accustoming my palate to
raw fresh fish, but the attempt to bal
ance my head on q two.inch pillow
gave up in despair, after tying it to my
neck and head.-Pumpelly's Trareli

a Novel IdPn

Isaac S. Geer, of Lisbon, Connecticut,
in making some changes in a water
pipe, fonnd it needful to extend one
through an under drain that ran several
feet below the service. How to get the
pipe through without taking up the
drain was problem. But Mr.. Geer
studied upon it, and after a while hit
upon this admirable plan: He opened
the lower end Of the drain, and, then
catching an old calico cat that had been
resident of his family for several
years, attached a small line to her leg /;
then thrustiug her into the upper end,
and giving a most unearthly scat" she
popped out at oJher end, all covered
with mud and water, with the line at
tached to her leg, quicker than one
could say Jack Robinson. The pipe
was thus drawn through, and Mr.. Geer
had the satisfaction of saving ten dol
lars by his wit, and teaching his neigh
bors q good lesson in civil engineering.

Farm Wages Mast Come Down

The laborer is worthy of his hire
and We are decidedly in favor Of paying
all good, faithful workers the highest
wages that can possibly be afforded.
But the employer is equally worthy of
his hire. The farm cannot pay beyond
a reasonable per centage of its products
for werkmen. The cost of freightage
and other marketing expenses is about
the same for wheat at $50 per bushel as
for that sold at 81 30. But making no
allowance for this, let US reckon the
wages of laboreIs in wheat, or other
produce, which he must buy for his fam
lily. Suppose we put the wages of a
good workman at ! bushels of wheat per
week with board, or 81 bushels without
board. This, with wheat at Sl.5O per
bushel, is S25, or S34.T per month, if
the employer sells his wheat and pays
money. Is it just that he should pay
the same money wages when his wheat
brings only 75cf The plain truth is, he
cannot afford it. He cannot give s or
II bushels of wheat for weeks work.
Ii the laborer could feed his family two
years ago on four bushels of wheat per
week, he can get along on less than
double that quantity now, while the
employer is straightened for the means
to pay interest, purchase machinery or
implements, stock, etc. If labor
ers do not appreciate these facts,
and moderate their demands &C
eordlngly, farmers will, from dbsolHte
necessity, be compelled to shorten sail,
and a large number OF laborers will be
thrown out of employment. Every
farmer will, of course, do the best he
can to retain his well-tried men. and to
keep some improvements going on. Bv
the way, we would like to receive from
some of our readers, in different parts
of the country, statements as to the
number of bushels of wheat, and of
corn also, that have been equivalent TO
the average wages of farm hands, with
and without board, during each of the
years 1864, 1867 and 1S69-we refer to
men employed by the month for the en-
tire yesr,-Agricultarist.

AReautIfuILa Story.

The Count de st. Croix, belonging to
one of the noblest andwealthiest fami-
lies of France, became engaged, after q
long courtship, to lady his equal In
position and fortune, and famous for
her beauty. Shortly after the happy
day was appointed which was to render
two loving hearts one, the count was
ordered Immediately to the siege OF oe-
bastapool; SO he girded on ms
sabre, and at the head OF the
regiment, BE marched on 70
the battle field. During the counts
absence it happened that his beautiful
affianced had the small pox; and hover
ing between life and death, she recover
ed, bot found her beauty hopelessly
lost. The disease had assumed, in her
case, the most virulent character, and
left her not only disfgured, but scanned
and SCARED to such frightful extent,
that she became hideous to herself, and
resolved to pass the remainder OF her
days in strict seclusion.
A year passed away, when one day the
count, Immediately on his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, pre-

This was refused. He, however, with
the persistence of lover, pressed
his suit, and finally the lady made her
appearance, very closely muffied in
veil. At the sound of her voice, the
count rushed forward to embrace her,
but stepping aside she tremblingly told
him the story of her sorrow, and burst
into tears. A heavy smile broke over
the counts handsome features

claimed: "It is Gods work! / am

lantly leading his regiment to the at

his eyes that, while it left their eI-

of his sight. 1t is unnecessary to say
that their marriage was shortly solemn

From the New York Herald
The Virginia, Chesapeake md Ohio
RuIIroad

Arrangements, it appears, have been
perfected in this city with prominent
capitalists whereby the Virginia, Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad will be CON-
pleted at once. Among the capitalists
concerned are w. II. Aspinwall, A. A,
Low, C.. p. Huntington, Fisk & Hatch,
and others, The object of this road is
to bring a portion of the traffic
of the great Northwest across
West Virginia and Virginia into Nor.
folk, and to tap en- route the rich mines
of coal and iron, salt springs and petro-
leum wells of the Great Kanawha Val
ley. To complete the connection be-
tween NoIfeld and Ohio some two hun.
dred aud fifty miles, more or less, OF
railway remains to be built, but as this
is through the Allegheny Mountain sys-
tenn of West Virginia it Will be heavy
work. After what has been done, how.
ever, on the Pacific railroad, there is no
reason why this line shonld not be com,
pleted by next fall.
When completed, in the coal, iron,
lumber, petroleum, salt, grain, &c, OF
West Virginia alone, it will rapidly
build sp the city Of Norfolk, with It's
splendid harbor, into first class sea.
port, in trade, in shipbuildiug and in
manufactures. As the Baltimore and
Ohio road has been the making of Balti.
more, SO will this road be the making OF
Norfolk, only on a much larger scale, in
view of the enormous resources along
the line, and the superior advantages OF
Norfolk as harbor-equal to the largest
fleets of the largest ships, open aud
secure at all seasons and close
to the sea Charleston meantime is
actively moving for direct line by way
of Chattanooga with the Ohio at Gin
cinnati; aud this road, too, will pay
handsomely; but, in our judgment, there
is no railway enterprise on foot so short
in the length of line which promises
the substantial and ever increasing pro.
fits of this direct line between Norfolk
and the Ohio river through West Yir.
ginia. And the capitalists concerned
are correct in their idea that the sooner
the road is flushed the sooner they will
begin to reap the bountiful harvest
awaiting them.
IfNorfolk had had this road in opera
tion ten years ago, Virginia would have
escaped the folly of secession, division
into two States and all the disasters
and losses of the rebellion; for the
binding influences of Western trade
would have held her to the cause of the
Union, or by main strength she would
have been held, as Maryland was by the
Baltimore and Ohio road. AS a new
bond for the Union, therefore, as we'll
as new fountain of trade, let this Nor
folk line 80 the Ohio be pushed through.

A CONTEMPORARY suggests, that, if the
income tax be continued, policy re-
quires that merchants be exempted from
its operation and an increase of revenue
looked for from other sources. This,
we think, is just view, for the income
tax of merchants and other classes ia
paid almost directly by the people. II
the tax cannot be repealed, let iusur
ance companies, banks, railroads, bond
holders, boards of trade gamblers, and
mea receiving incomes from invest
ments in stocks or money loaned, be re-
Qnired to pay it.

"a singular disease, new to our sec
tiou," says the Bedford (Va.) Sentinel,
"has recently broken out among the
calves OH Captain Buford's plantation,
near Liberty, Six or seven have died,
The symptoms are described by Captain
Buford as follows: "The calves refuse to
eat, and are inclined to lie down all the
time. Their limbs seem to be partially
paralyzed. When made to get up they
tremble violently. Soon tine disease
seems TO settle in one leg, which seems
to be almost entirely paralyzed. They
breathe hard and the belly is drawn up.
Just before death they begin to swell
and seem TO choke mp ard die. Upon
an examination of the hides of those
which had died, the skin of the leg
affected by the disease was found in
every instance to DO entirely decayed.
The calves attacked were six or seven
months old; ono was eighteen months

THE following paragraph from the
Baltimore Sans Washington special,
is very suggestive. After speaking OF
the preparation of the Presidents mes
sage, the correspondent says:
Nearly all the members Of Congress
who have arrived from the West thus
far complain of scarcity of money in
that section. They are opposed to all
sche mes of contraction, and clamorous
for more currency. No man from the
West, they say, who favors contraction
can be re elected, so sensibly is the want
of money felt Of course they are all
against resuming specie payments, be-
cause they say this would have about
the same effect as violent contraction
Of the currency.
