Up to this time the Japanese have &C.

fence, but this will soon be at an end, and
in few weeks they will be settled down
as comfortably as you please, with houses
of their own, each family reposing under
its own re and fg-tree." Among their
number ars four carpenters, and these
men are gagged in erecting buildings for
the use of the party. The houses are to
be twelve in number, dimensions 36x3O,
each containing four rooms, and built after
the real Japanese fashion, with low,
pitched roofs, the caves extending tar over
the stills, and forming balcony or awning
around the entire house. The outer walls
and partitions are all Of sliding panels,
that can be shut together at the corners and
folded into boxes, leaving nothing but the
roof and its supports, during the hot sum-
mer days, affording luxury that can only
be exceeded by taking off your flesh and
sitting in your bones" The partition
walls are Of paper, the outer walls OF

with marvellous neatness. A curious fea-

being dove-tsiled together by many ingeni.

The Agricultural editor of the st.
Paul Press thinks 1869 was year OF great
disaster to the farmers OF Minnesota, with
few exceptions Among his catalogue OF
unfavorable circumstances, are the low
price of wheat, too high prices paid for
labor, too many implements bought on
credit, frozen potatoes, corn rotting in the
spring, the flood in September. The class
es of farmers that have done well are
those that got their wheat in the market
early, and the stock growers and dairy
farmers.

CAPRICE.
BY W. d. H0WELLs.

IF he goes by" she said,
"Hc will hear my robin singing,
And when he lifts his head,
/ shall be sitting here to sew,
And he will bow TO me, know"
The robin sang love-sweet song
The young man raised his head
The maiden turned away and blusfed
81 am fool ~ she said,
And went on bordering in silk,
A pink-eyed rabbit, white as milk.
The young man loitercd slowly
BY the house three times that day;
She took her bird from the window;
"He need not look this way"
She sat at her piano long,
And sighed, and played death-sad song.
But when the day was done, she said,
II wish that he would come
Remember. Mary, If he calls,
To-night-l'm not at home"
80 when he rang, she went-tne elfl-
She went ana lot him in herself
g'hey sang full long together
Their ssngs love-sweet, death-sad;
The robin woke from his slumber,
And rang out, clear and glad.
"Now 20 ~ she Coldly said 'tis late :"
And followed him-to latch the gate.
He took the rosebud from her hair.
While lyon shall not !" she said;
He closed her hand within his own,
And while her tongue forbade,
Her will was darkened In the eclipse
or binding love upon his lips.

Women Medical Students.

The University of Zurich, in Switzcr-
land, has opened its doors to receive
women, and conferred degrees upon
them on exactly the same terms as upon
men for the last six years. There are
at present fourteen women in attend
ance, of whom one is from Boston and
nine from Russia. Miss Nadeccha
Saslowa, from Russia, was the first
girl graduate" and passed a very
searching and triumphant examination.
The report of the rector of the Univer-
sity says thatthe medical faculty unan-
imously agree that the presence of
females during the lectures and the
cliniques causes no difficulty, and, after
six years experience, they look with
entire satisfaction at the solution OF this
vexed question Some Of the the pro
frssors think that the presence Of ladies

beloved by his flock, and esteemed by
many outside OF it, who had the pleas

The shock was felt and the report

thought Il to he in their midst: and at

time says that the fishes were seen to

Sitro-(.Iycerine.

The dangerous character Of this ma
tcrial was well illustrated few years
ago on the passage Of ship from Liv-
erpool to Boston After being Il short
time at sea the Captain discovered box
near the main hatch, which excited his
suspicion that its content, WAS the
dreadful nitro-glyccrine, and with
ont hesitation he Immediately or
dered its careful removal aft
and threw it overheard from the
stern of the ship. Upon its striking
the water terrific explosion followed,
anda column of water sixty feet high
was thrown into the air, but fortunately
the vessel escaped injury. Had the box
been cast over from the side, instead of
tie stern, the broadside of the ship
would probably have been smashed in !;
but as the vessel was under good head
way, she was enabled to leave clear
space OF water between her and the box
before the explosion took place.

THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
The London Negs directs attention
to the fact that the day of the great
novelists death was, strange to saw, the
anniversary of the Staplehurst accident
in which it will be remembered he was
in great peril, and from which some Of
those nearest 10 him consider he re,
ceiyed physical shock from which he
never really recovered. The friends in
the habit of meeting Mr.. Dickens pri,
vately recall now, says the .Ne,cs, the
energy with which he depicted that
dreadful scene, and how, as the climax
of his story came, and its dread interest
grew, he would rise from the table and
literally act the parts of the several
sufferers to whom he had lent helping
hand Now that he is gone, it is re-
membered, too, with absolute pain, that
one of the first surgeons of the day,
who was present when this Staplehurst
story was told, soon after its occurrence,
remarked that the worst of these rail
way accidents was the difficulty Of de-
termining the period at which the sys-
TEN could be said to have survived the
shock, and that instances were on re-
cord of two or three wears having gone
10y before the lifc-sutferer knew that he
was seriously hurt" But the medical
testimony as to the immediate casse OF
Mr.. Dickens death is definite and pre-
else ApopleXy-an ctiusion OF blood
on the brain, the cause an overstrained
system, and the result one which was
only STAYED off twelve months ago,
when he was induced to obey his doc
tors iijunctions, and to suspend his
reading in public-has carried him
away at Il comparatively early age, and
all that remains to his sorrowing friends
is to recall with affection the many
traits which made this great man so
lovahle
