JAPAN.

The changes in the social ordinances
OF Japan, proclaimed by Government
edict, have been numerous and startling.
Some will be a matter of some conven-
fence to foreigners-the others chiefly
affect the various classes of the people.
The first Imperial order is that hence
forth the Japanese calendar is to be har-
monized with foreign chronology. The
first day Of January, 1871, will be the
first day of the first month of the 2533d
year from the accession of the first
Mikado; holiday is to be kept upon
every seventh day, instead of on every
fifth day, and at certain seasons, as here
tofore, and the division of the day will
henceforth be into twen9y-four hours,
instead of twelve periods Of two hours
each, according to ancient custom.
The 18th of December (Chrismas Day.
is henceforth to be held sacred to the
memory of Zinmu Tenno-the first En-
peror of Japan.
japanese officials of rank are now re-
quired to wear an European official
costume, and to attend weekly levees, to
be held by the Mikado ON and after New
Years Day. His Majesty has SO far al
tered his mode of life astoreceive guests
at dinner every alternate day. The ban
quet is served and dressed in foreign
style politics are tobooed as q subject
for conversation, for which the ordinary
topics Of the day are expected to suffice.

LUCKY NUMBERS.

There is widespread tendency to be.
lieve in lucky numbers. The mystical
properties Of numbers and the doctrine
of chances have both something to do
in this matter. Card-players have a
number crochets Of this kind-'luck un-
der the deuce" bad luck under the nine
of diamonds, an even number for the
trump card. One theory says that even
numbers are lucky, because each can be
divided into two, thereby denoting death
and dissolution. Ole nation made the
year consist of 359 days, in order that it
should not divide into twelve equal
months. Some Of the early Christians
pronounced for odd numbers, because
God is in 3, and because He made holy
the seventh day. The number and its
multiples were on other grounds made
lucky, because human being sheds his
teeth at 7, becomes youth at twice z, a
man at thrice Z, and reaches his grand
climacteric at nine times Z. In some
parts of England the housewives put
their hens on an odd number Of eggs,
because, with an even number, they fear
there would be no chicks. The current
year of our Lord is always lucky num-
Der in the estimation of some persons.
Addison said, in the Spectator II have
been told of certain jealous dissenter,
who, being a great enemy to Popery,
and believing that bad men are the most
fortunate in the world, will lay two to
one on the number 666 against any other
because, says he, it is the num-
Der of the beast. This mystical num-
Der has played great part in luck spec
Some acknowledgements
will have it that 666 is the Pope himself;
while, on the other hand, Roman Cath
Olc journalist has recently striven to
show that If Bismarck were spelled Bits

666. Number 3 is greatly in favor Of

of sand on dead body are as

notions about the breadth of a camp

The French peasantry have knack of

An arrangement for the early construction

Coffin. Such an enterprise would rebound

Northern Pacific road the transportation Of

q HUGH f.. GALEN. the popular stage man of
Eastern Montana, was ia town last week, and
gave us q friendly call. Mr.. Galen has his
different lines now we'll stocked, anu has pro-
vided first-class coaches to accommodate the
large increase of travel anticipated to this
section and the National Park this summer
and fall. Mr.. Galen, since the establishment
of his lines. has met with difficulties
which would have overcome ali ordinary
man. Besides the dep SHOWS Of last Winter
a year ago, and the unparalleled cold wcatn-
err, when travel was rendered dangerous and
almost impossible, and the freshets OF this
last spring, when bridges were swept away.
and the whole country was overlooked, he
has had to contend with the red tape of
Washington and the unauthorized interfer-
ence OF Territorial officials. But the indom-
liable energy of Galen has successfully conf
batted the elements by regularly delivering
otlr mails, and defeated tie gratuitous off
ciousness of outsiders by complying with
his contracts. The West Galatin fridge has
been repaired and his coaches now make
through daily trips to Helena and Virginia
City from this place, and are always on time.
