Master and Man in Japan.

No feature In Japanese society is more
curious than the relations between mas
ter and man. The master admits his
servant provided of course that he be
Of the military class to his intimate So
ciety but the servant never assumes a
liberty. He takes his place at dinner
with the utmost humility, and having
done so, bears his share Of the CONVEX
sation, addressing freely not only his
master. as if he were an honored guest,
and for while they would appear to
any one not acquainted with language
most fertile in subtle distinctions to be
on perfectly equal terms. Yet the mo-
ment the feast is over the man retires
with the same profound obeisance and
marks of Difference with which he en-
tered and Immediately relapses into the
servitor; nor will he in any way pre-.
sumo upon the familiarity which, hav-
ing lasted its hour, disappears until oc.
casion calls it forth again. Feudalism
strips service of servility, and although
the feudal system is thing of the past,
its traces must long remain.

Direct Your Letters Carefully.

The Postal Record says that during
the psst year there were sent to the
Dead Letter Office nearly three million
letters. Sixty-eight thousand of these
letters could not be forwarded, owing to
the carelessness of the writers emitting
to give the county or State; four hun
dred thousand failed TO be sent because
the writer's forgot to put on stamps, and
over three thousand letters were put
in the postotfice without any address
whatever in the letters above named
was found over S92, 900 in cash drafts,
checks, etc, etc, TO the value of $1,000.
900. There were over thlrty.nine thou.
sand photographs contained in the above
letters. OF course nearly all the money
and valuables were returned to the own.
ers, but much needless delay, many
charges of dishonesty, etc, might have
been saved if the writer's of the letters
could have been a little more careful,
and taken the precaution TO see that
their letters were in mailable condition
before depositing them in the postoffice.
1t is more than probable that nine
tenths of all the complaints, losses and
delays which are laid to the Postofiice
Department are in reality due TO the
carelessness Of their writer's.

Bryant's Post 0bIt Compliments to
Bennett.

To call Mr.. Bennett "great journal
ist' is an entire mistake; he was great
news vender, and made in his calling a
worldwide notoriety. But he never
discussed any great public question,
or sincerity. lie never enlightened the
politica mind by the variety or extent
of his information nor directed it by the
earnestness of his convictions. He was
not a statesman nor a scholar. nor a
philanthropist, nor even politician.
What he said from day to day was said
merely TO produce sensation, to raise
a laugh, or TO confirm vulgar preju-
dice and so far as he had any intlu-
ence at all as writer it was one that
debased and corrupted the community
in which his paper was rea /. He did
more to vulgarize the tone of the press
in this country than any man ever be-
fore connected with it; and the worst
caricatures that the genius of Ralzac,
Dickens and Thackeray has given us OF
the low, slang. whanging, dissolute and
Inprincipled Bohemian, OF the Ions
eaus, Jefferson Bricks, and Capt. Shan
ons Of the Journalistic profession,
hiled to depict what Bennett actually
vas. His earlier career indeed was SC
slameful and disgusting that he was
bnished from respectable society, and
tie impression it left was so strong that
with all the wealth he subsequently,
mde by the prostitution of his energy
an talent, he could not procure social
recognition anywhere.-Ne,0 York Post

A Whale i'm the Way.

The steamer Boyne, which arrived
at southampton fortnight since with
the Brazil mail, when off Cape Finis-
terre, found her speed suddenly dimin-
ish, although her steam power was kept
up. After some time the diminished
speed was found to be owing to huge
whale which the the cutwater of the
ship had struck and penetrated in the
center, and was driving along. The
whale must have been floating on the
surface dead or asleep when the ship
struck it. The passengers wanted the
monster to be hauled on board, but the
captain could not afford the time to do
it, and the levathan became olsen
tangled and sunk.

A POrcine Traveller.

Last week a novel episode occurred
to passenger train No. 10, on the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railway,
from Cleveland to Toledo A short dis.
lance beyond Norwalk large hog was
wabbling about on the track, entirely
unmindful of the approach of the train.
AS the engine struck him he slid up the
pilot and landed safely upon the plat.
form Just in front Of the boiler. When
tie next station was reached his porcine
majesty was found standing upon the
platform, apparently uninjured, and
seeming to enjoy the luxury of "a "dead
head" ride. As it would hardly have
been the fair thing TO dump him off
miles from home, without a cent in his
pocket, he was allowed to remain in his
position. When the train reached To-
ledo, forty miles distant, he was still
there, sticking to his post with all the
tenacity of Cassabianca " on the burn
ing deck" As the engine was to return
10 Cleveland with the afternoon train,
the plucky passenger was not disturbed,
and he seemed determined to ride as
long as he was permitted to do so. An
other conductor brought him back to
where he belonged, when he was taken
Oft unframed, having ridden ninety-fve
miles over the pilot of locomotive, at
the rate Of thirty miles an hour. He de-
parted WITH grunt of satisfaction.

Pisciculture i'm New York.
From the New York World.

The fourth annual report of the Com
missioners OF Fisheries for New York
gives an interesting account of the
present condition Of our fisheries, the
difficulties in the way of our breeding
fish, and the modes of overcoming the
difficulties. BY authority of the Legis-
lature the commissioners have built a
Matching house at Caledonia-said to be
the largest not only in this country but
the world-where they have achieved
the most remarkable results. The to-
tai number of shad eggs taken this year
was $4,000, of which 8,295,000 were
Matched and turned loose in the Hud-
son river but with proper care they
have no doubt that in few years 500.
100000 of fry can be artiicially Matched
"a yield that will defy diminution by
all the engines of destruction that men
can devise. To effect this, however,
the commissioners very properly call
upon the Legislature to make an addi-
ton to their act, establishing a weekly
time of closing, and forbidding all net
ting of shad from Saturday night till
Monday morning under a heavy pen
atty. This is to give the breeding fish
chance to reach the upper waters, to
which nature invites them, and where
alone they can hatch their young also
to supply those engaged in ar tificial
culture of them the material to work
with. In the culture of the Otsego
bass, the black bass, salmon trout, white
fish, pike, and others they have been
equally successful, but the salmon
lsalnlo salar) seems to defy all efforts at
introduction to the waters of this
State.
Horatio Seymour, George G. Cooper,
and Robert r. Roosevelt are our State
Commissioners, all in an honorary Ca
pacity, and Seth Green the Superintend-
ent, under whose careful experience
they are carrying out their great inn
provements in the care and culture of
our fisheries.

Irish Whisky.

If the account given by the Dublin
Evening Mail of the adulteration of
whisky is correct, il would be advisable
for even the most conviviel Irishman to
be little moderate in his potations un.
til the British Legislature has taken
some steps for his protection and if
the advocates of the Permissive bill,
now before Parliament, would circulate
extensively among the working classes
authentic descriptions of the frightiul
poison which they often consume un-
der the name of whisky, they might, IN
the option of the Mail, gain large &C.
cession TO their ranks. The influence of
terror would have great effect on some
who now revolt at the idea of being per.
mssively coerced. The crime of adul.
teration, it seems, prevails in all parts
of Ireland, but the astute people of the
North appear to have graduated with
high honors in this diabolical chemis-
try. DR.. Hodges, of Belfast, has recent
ly had occasion TO examine several
samples of whisky, which he found
adulterated with naphtha, cayenne pep
per, and vitriol. One sample, described
as a fair specimen OF the drink sold in
low class public houses, was composed
almost entirely of naphtha, with a
slight coloring of whisky. But even
this was outdone by the skill of an itin-
Grant practitioner in a northern coun-
ty, who, by a scientific combination of
cayenne pepper, vitriol, spirits of wine,
and bluestone, transmutes a gallon Of
water into gallon OF whisky
at the cost of one penny. The
physical effects of the consumption of
these concoctions are, it is stated,
frightful. Indeed, delirium reme,S pro
duced 10y drinking pure whisky Is a
joke compared TO the consequences of
indulging in the adulterated article.
The coats of the stomach are corroded,
the brain disorganized, and the career
of the consumer-when not arrested by
the hand of justice in consequence OF
the crimes committed during the mad
ness produced by it-generally ends in
paralysis or insanity.
