JAPANESE PAPER. AS the Jap.

JAPANESE PAPER AS the Jap.
anese are said to be unrivalled in the
art of manufacturing paper, the fol-
lowing particulars are interesting
Some months ago request was sent
to Japan by an American official that
the authorities in Yeddo would trans
nit to thus country a lot OF samples
of japanese paper. The request was
duly ccalplied with, and collection
of more than two-hundred and fifty
specimens was sent to MIR. Mori.
The Qualities were astonishingly va
rious, ranging from ARTICLES reseus-
bling sheets of thick India rubber or
tanned alligator skin down to others
that were as light as gossarner or
transparent as glass; the majority Of
tae SAMPLES were almost as tough asI
linen, were richly tinted with all COLI
ors Of the rain bow, and often orna-i
mentea with curious designs and fig,
ures. The entire lot was divided
into three equal parts, and then pre-
sented to the Agricultural Depart
ment, the Patent Office.end the Ma
tional Museum, walere.they may now
be examined. A similar lot of Jap
aneselpaper was also sent to England
by the English coasuls residing in
Japan, and it was deemed OF sufficient
importance by the Foreign Office 10

FIsK4s WGFE.--Of Fisk an O. his
wife who was older than he. Bos-
ton letter writer says: "With his
notorious sins against her, there had
never been esErangetnent between
them. She excused everything, and
he held for her sort Of platonic af-
fection. He wrote to her constantly,
and visited her often. She WAS his
confdant always. and his adviser in
many things. She was more like an
elder sister than a wife to this mer-
eurial being, who appears to have
had the highest respect for her traits
Of character, and to have been com-
ipassonately regarded by herself as
an incorrigibly hayward member of
the Nmily, who must be HUNDRED in
almost any eccentricities.''

CURE FOR Po1eoN.-Is there. asks
a correspondent, an easy and simple
cure for poison of oak or ivy, when a
person is really poisoned with it :
What is the best cure for the poison
by dew, poison oak, ivy, &C.. is to
take handful ofquick-lims, dissolve
in water, let it stand in water half
an hour, then paint the poisoned
parts with it. Three or four appli-
cations will never fail to cure the
most aggravated cases. Poison from
bees, hornets, spider bites, &C., is
instantly arrested by the applica-
ton of equal parts OF salt and bicar-
Donate of soda, well rubbed in on
the place bitten or stung.

The Paducah ToBacco Leaf has the
following epitome of the crop report IN
the jackson Purchase CAT this time
Of the season there never were more fat
teriug prospects for crops of all kinds
than we have this year. Corn is all
planted, and has come up finely, wheat
is looking beautiful and vigorous. L
is all headed out, aud without an acci
dent the yield will be more bountifu
than for years Oats promise well; po
tatoes will be good and plentiful The
fruit yield will be large except apples
which have been damaged by the cater.
pillars. The average allotted for the
culture of tobacco is considerably in ex
cess of that of any previous year since
the war, and during the late season for
transplanting, fully two thirds of the
crop in the Purchase was set out, and
the ground is all prepared and ready to
finish at the next season. The young
plants that have been set out are looking
healthy, and are growing rapidly. The
cut-worms have been troublesome in some
localities, but their havoc has not been
very general or disastrous.

r,saxenr al wnnders.

We speak of Europe as old and super
civilized, yet there crops out at times a
spirit of faith and childIike simplicity
that betokens perpetual youth. As wit
ness a series of prophecies to which the
Paris Unioers has recently given cur
repcy. the mere belief in which may
tend to their realization These pro-
phecies, says the Uiliuers, were uttered
by a holy woman named Palma, belong
ing to a Neapolitan village; although b
an unbelieving world may be disposed
rather to recognize in them a political
trick of the Bourbon legitimists. But
they are siugularly bold, as being on
the very eve of ful6llment; and even
America is dragged into the visionary
arena. 1t is said that Palma recently
saw large cross in the sky, from which
emauated eight rays darting toward the
earth, four of which signifed mercy, and
four of a different color signifed justice.
Two of the beams of mercy illuuined
Turkey 10 the East and America in the
West, while the central two rests in
England, Poland and Russia. The four
rays of justice struck France, Germany,
Spain and Italy This gifted seer ex-
plains in detail that July (next MOUTH
will witness horrible eonyulsions in
Spain, France and Italy, compelling the
fight of the Pope, aud that the thrones
of Emmanuel and Amadeus viii be up
set. Germany will intervene and again
overrun France, and Paris will endure
another siege far more horrible than the
last. Bloody conflicts will horrify the
whole world Russia, America, England
and at last Austria, will rally to the aid
of France Italy will be field of blood
strewn with Russians, French and Ger
mans as well as natives. France in her
extremity will call the Chamboard,
Henry Y, to the throne; aud Plus IN-,
the octoge marian, will live to be restored
to Rome in triumph.
Now if any of our readers are not
ready to believe all this yet, they need
wait only month or so for the great
drama to begin. The inspired Ezekiel
told the Hebrews many centuries ago:
When what the phrophet prophesied,
comes to pass, then We will know HAT
the Lord has spoken by his mouth.

An Opening in the slave Trade.

An Opening ia the SlaNe AFaue'
There is a big speculation yet in the
slave trade; not in catching and trans

on the coast of Africa. The British
government allows captors of slave YES
sells four pounds ton on the vessel cap

found in them, the rule of compensation
being at the option of these police of the
seas. This might be turned into profit

less hulk could easily equip for a pre-

the choicest blood of Africa for the pur-
