The American Telegraph in Japan.

The Japan Weekly Mail, to hand by
way of Europe, contains an amusing
! account of trial of field telegraph
lately presented by the American gov
eminent to the Mikado, in the imperial
presence:
By the Mikado's desire the apparatus
was erected in the grounds of the pal
ace, one terminus being his Majesty's
private study, and the other the pleas
ure pavilion, which stands in the center
of the Maple Gardens, where were as
sembled three princes of the blood, the
Prime Minister, and host of members
of the Privy Council, to receive and an
swer the imperial messages. The work
ing OF the wires was entrusted to Japan
ese, and when all was ready message
arrived at the Pavilion announcing the
presence of the Mikado at the terminus
in the study. 70 this announcement II
most respectful message was returned
thanking his Majesty for his gracious
presence, Shortly after the message
came, 'The Emperor is highly pleased
with the wonderful Western invention"
and then Immediately afterwards "Who
are in the pavilion, and what are you
doing2" 70 this an answer was returned
giving the na~Go7 of those present and
saying that they were awaiting with
profound yeneration his Majesty's gra-
cious orders To their intense embar-
rassment the answer was returned, "Tel-
egraph to us something amusing" As
may be imagined this message caused
the greatest CONSERVATION among the
courtiers. How were they in a moment
to conjurs up something that should be
amusing, and, at the same time respect
full At length one Privy Councillor
suggested: "Ihis day will be memoir
able in the annals of the empire as that
on which his Majesty for the first time
witnessed the working of telegraph. :"
But this was instantly rejected as not
being in the least amusing At length
a youthful courtier proposed, ave all
mean to get merry on the wine which
we expect your Majesty to give u.s..
This was at once received with delight
and transmitted to the palace, and to it
a reply was Immediately returned that
they should not expect in vain, and the
proceedings terminated with a message
from the Emperor expressing himself
satisfied with the experiments and
thanking the officers who had worked
the telegraph
At the Emperor's desire the apparatus
was left standing in the grounds in Or
der that he might learn to work it
himself.

Wonders of Easter Island.


In the middle of the vast Pacific
Ocean, three thousand miles distant
from the nearest continent, rises the
mysterious Easter Island, Astounding
with the remains of remote antiquity,
which greatly interested and perplexed
party of savants who recently visited
them. The island is about forty miles
in circumference, barren, without trees,
destitute OF resources, inhabited by q
few savages, who lead the most misera-
BILE existence imaginable.
But upon this narrow strip Of land, SO
barren and unproductive, the astonished
eye of the explorer beholds a forest of
gigantic stone statues, about the origin
and meaning of which the race dwelling
around know absolutely nothing The
smallest of these statues measure thirty
feet, and few attain the incredible di-
mansions of fifty feet Some repose up
on long platforms constructed in the
cyclopean manner; the greatest portion
of them wear crowns about six feet in
height, formed of volcanic tufa, which
have evidently been placed upon these
statues after their erection. The fore

tons may probably reveal the race who
constructed them.
Asregards the workmanship displayed
upon them, it is rude and clumsy, al
though not destitute of character and
expression. The questions concerning
them, presented for solution, are: What
do they representa- whose handiwork
are they2 and how came they there
There are no metals in Easter Island,
nor even in Slick; only few hard spe-
cies of stone are found capable of being
fashioned into axes, with which perhaps
those mysterious statues were hewn.
The stone of which they are composed
is found neither upon the island nor any
of the surrounding islands; there num-

strange contrast to the narrowness and
poverty of the place whereon they are
constructed.

OPEN NECK DRESSES.


One of the most glaring faults notice
able in the style of dress of women, in
vogue just now, is the open neck dress
and sacque of the past season or two,
which learn is to be the fashion again
next season; thus compelling women
foolish enough to adopt it, to expose
the chest to the inclemencies of the
weather at the season men protect it 10y
additional clothing and chest protectors.
The bad results of this style Of dress
were seen in the large number of pull
monary complaints in women, which re-
ceived the attention of physicians dur
ing the past season. Women should be
warned in time, and remember that it is
but short step from ga slight cold to
q merciless disease, which will cause
them to regret their fooLshness when
too late.

fairly itches to handle. All about him
he sees an admirably organized cavalry,
raiding on railroad lines, charging on
shaking lines of infantry, and careering
through mountain valleys, up which the
enemy is '.seut wEirling, in style after
his own heart. And he sees also long
lines of superb infantry, moving steadily
into position under fire, or assaulting the
foe with the impetuous elan he so we'll
