The Japanese.

\ correspondent of the New York
Times, travelling in Japan, says Of tLat
peculiar people
1t is impossible to travel through this
strange country, making acquaintance
with its singular inhabitants and their an
cient legends, without being deeply, al
most sorrowtuily, impressed with the evi-
dence OF the ignorance and superstition Of
the common people, aud their submission
to priestly rule pom the other hand,
however, the japanese character possesses
traits which are noble and heroic in the
extrem. In war, they fight 10 the death
on the most humane principle. When the
late revolution was nearly completed. and
the last remnants of the Tycoon's follow
erS were hurried into and surrounded in a
fortress at Hackolata, completely cut of
from all supplies OF provisions and water,
the fight ragged all day with the most ter
rible intensity, and ceased only with the
setting sun. Invariably upon the ces-
sation OF the struggle, the besiegers. be-
fore partaking Of their evening meal.
would carry to the besieged full days
rations OF provisions and water, and no
rcmonstrances could prevent this action.
What " said they TO some OF their Eng
lish officers, would you have US starve
brave men like rats ? No; victory over
them thus situated would be no honor
The steamship Herman, iu carrying
troops to the North, struck a sunken rock
several miles from shore. The boats were
few, not more than enough to accommo-
date the officers and crew and some foreign
passengers on the vessel. At once the
matches of the ship were battened down
and the japanese confined below, that the
Christians might escape in security
Let us come out, said the japanese Off
Gers we promise you that no attempt on
the part Of our troops Will be made to
take the boats We will remain until the
boats return or the ship goes down, but
give Us a chance for our lives The ex-
pertinent was tried. They marched out
and formed their ranks on deck with all
the cOolness of a parade; they saw the
boats shove off as the ship was sinking,
and not a man moved until he foated in
the sea, and no single soul reached the
shore that did not land with his sword.
To lose that was worse than death.

A RAIN OF FROGS IN Arizona
The pben )menon familiarly known as the
rain of frogs has been ridiculed and
contradicted oy certain scientists; never
theless, there is abundant proof to show
that it has occurred, and probably will
again. In 1864, the writer, in company
with some fifty other travellers, had per-
sonal experience of the fact. We were
in Arizona, not less than twenty miles
from any stream, po1d, or water. The
day was extremely sultry, and we had
halted to let the animals Craze and rest
for an hour or two. Not a living thing
besides ourselves and horses was in sight,
and certainly no frogs were hopping over
the rich, tufted granln1a grass, which COW
cred the ground for miles in every direc-
ton. Suddenly a dense, black cloud
made its appearance, and it soon began to
discharge copious rain upon our unshel-
tered heads. The drops were very large,
and the water quite warm. Nearly every
person wore a broad-brmmed felt hat.
which proved great protection against
the rain as well as against the sun. Our
attention was soon arrested by the peting
of something which struck our hats like
hail but which proved to be frogs, and in
less than two minutes the grass was fairly
alive with those creatures. Several of
the party took some from their hat rims.
Our unexpected visitors were all Of one
SIZE. about a quarter of an inch long from
nose to rump, very lively, and apparently
in the best condition. Their tall had been
broken by the springy, resilient nature of
the grass 1t Is not probable that several
hundred thousand perhaps millions of
frogs had suddenly been Matched into life
in the ground by the rain, or if they had,
that in their infantile glee they jumped
five feet eleven inches from the earth to
the top Of our heads, merely to show how
the game Of leap-frog should be played
Nor had they any such caudal appendages
AZ are generally attached to juvenile ram.
They came from above, in company with
the rain; and this fact was made clear by
holding out the hand and seeing them fall
upon it, as well as finding them on our
hat-rims. The eggs from which these rep
tiles sprung had undoubtedly been drawn
into the atmosphere by the action of a
water spout, and held in suspension with
aqueous particles long enough to hatch
them out and give them perfect form ;
then. by the force of mutual attraction.
the separated PARTICLES of vapor got to-
gether in such masses as to form heavy
sheets of water, which, in turn, became
amenable TO the law of the attraction of
gravitation, returning to the earth from
which it had been drawn. In the fall
new divisions were created, called drops
among which the frogs descended, having
been obedient TO similar forces, moving
with the aqueous particles. This instance
is cited to show that other things besides
vapor are translated from earth to atmos-
phere BY certain well-known and accred-
tied developments of natural laws

How DANIEL WEBSTER PREPARED HI
SpEECuEs.-Iu one of the debates in Con-
.ress, which suddenly called Daniel Web
ster to his feet, he male brief but most
eloquent speech, apparently without op-
portunity for previous preparation. In the
course Of his remarks, he threw out the
following sentence which has ever since
been admired as one of the most harmoni-
Gus and expressive in the English language.
He was spe- king of our military conflict
with Great Britain, and said Our faith
ers raised their flag against power to
which for purposes of foreign conquest and
subjugation Rome, in the height of her
glory, Is not to be compared ; a power
which has dotted over the surface of the
whole globe with her possessions and mill
tary posts, whose morning drum-beat, fol-
lowing the sun in its course and keeping
pace with the hours, circles the earth with
one continuous and unbroken strain of
martial airs of England As he sat down
one OF the Senat RS congratulated him
upon his speech, and alluding to the above
passage said that to him it was inconceiv-
able how Mr.. Webster. in speech so
manifestly unpremeditated. could have
formed 50 perfect and so beautiful a SEN
tence. which with hours of study he could
not improve. Mr.. Webster replied that
the sentence was not extemporaneous that
in his sumner vacation he had visited Que
bee and while standing on the massive I'd
almost impregnable citadel there, looking
out upon the wondrous scene of national
grandeur and of natures loveliness spread
before him, the idea occurred to his mind.
He Immediately took his seat upon gun,
and with pencil and paper, sketched the
thought in the most appropriate language
he could at the moment command. Upon
arriving at his hotel he sat down at his
leisure and wrote it, and rewrote it, with
many interlineations and erasures. until he
had modified it into the form of words
which satisfied him. He then laid it aside
in his retentive memory, to be used when
occasion should offer. The opportunity
arose upon that day.

\ SOCpoL0GEE.-Iu one of the interior
counties Of Missouri lived, some eight
years ago, a man who followed preaching
for a living lie was called Elder B,
and was called to preach 10 tle Campbell
lites. His peculiarities soon made him
quite noted. and large audiences assem-
bled to hear him. OF late he has aban-
doned the pulpit, and is now justice-of-
the-peace lawyer. On one occasion when
at the zenith Of his fame, he preached a
discourse on the deliverance of the chill
dren of Israel, in which be said
Brethren, there are many difficult
passages in the Bible, and you are likely
to be led into error unless you understand
them. Now, you all have read this chap
ter wherein Moses stretched out his hand
over the Red Sea, and the waters beca me
q wall, and the children of Israel went
over on dry ground safely, and how the
pursuing Egyptians. chariotS and all :he
hosts of Pharaoh were drowned Now.
my brethren, as this reads, it Is hard tC
believe and difficult to explain; but | will
explain it. 1t don't mean what it says,
for tell fou have read it in the origin
al Greek, and it is there all explained and
made perfectly plain; and in the next
translation of the Bible, which our church
Is getting out, it will all be explained
Now this passage of Scripture when prop
ery explained, means simply this &: When
Moses and the children of Israel arrived
at the Red Sea they camped all night, and
1t turned cold, and the strong east wind
caused it to freeze over, and the truth of
the whole matter is plain, as you can see,
that the children Of Israel passed over.
dry shOd, on tie ice. There were no
such things as great walls. The original
Greek will not permit any such unjust
and difficult translations. And again,
when the Egyptians, with their immense
armies, heavy chariots and great weights
pursued the children on the ice, thev
broke 1t through, and were all engulfed,
drowned and lost. This, my brethren and
sisters, is the true and fair explanation of
this circumstance, and the original Greek
IN the next translation will explain it to
you all, and make it plain.
At this point brother sitting back in
the congregation arose and said, Brother
B, L would like to ask a question, if
you have no objections.
The elder, looking triumphantly toward
the brother, answered, All right, Sir
ask just as many questions as you want
to.
Well, continued the brother, my
knowledge of geography and the location
OF the Red Sea shows that it is located
nearly y under the equator, and is therefore
IN very warm country, and never known
to be frozen. Will the gentleman please
tell the audience where the ice came from
of which he spoke?'
The elder became excited, and answered
with lofty disdain, If the brother who
has askedme this question knew half as
much about the Scripture and the geog-
raphy of the country as he pretends to

night of their first meeting. II wish that
something might happen SO that l could
gain the entree of the house"
He wouldn't have confessed even to him
/ self. that he had fallen in love with the
girl at first sight No, nothing of the
kind He only pitied on account of her
close confinement, when, like other girls of
her age and beauty, she ought to have
| been enjoying life. as a bird does sunshine
and liberty to fit among flowers. But try
as he would to think of some plan of Wis
iting her, he could determine upon nothing
and was about to give up in despair when
an accident came to his re lief.
In returning home one evening from a
ride, he saw a crowd gathered in front of
his door, and upon inquiry was told that
an old man had fallen from a stroke. One
glance revealed to him who the man was
and he instantly ordered him to be carried
into the house aud dispatched his sister
for Prudence Grswald and her niece
They came. Physicians were called, but
all in vain Nathan Griswald never rous-

he was taken to his last earthly resting
place.
Dark days followed The blow was a
terrible one tie his sister. He had been to
her as husband, children. brother. every
thing. All her love was centered in him,
and she was completely prostrated.
Fred Buswell pitied her sufferings, and
did all that sol could have done to re-
lleve them He attended to all her busi-
ness, would not listen to her leaving the
house until everything had been arranged
to her satisfaction, aud then he and Eva
accompanied her and June to Il little cot

her upon the banks of the river where she
had been born.
Is \ ou Will not leave me p" said the old
lady, whose entire character had appeared
to have changed since the death of her
brother Il have not long to stay on

her when | am gone ?''
She glanced up quick y, saw the eyes of
those she had mentioned meet, understood
their meaning, and was satisfied. All
through the summer months she fingered,
tended by her affectionate niece, and
when the leaves began to fall she died
