A letter from Japan says that Life
of Washington" is announced by
Yeddo publisher. This literary novelty
is brought out in no less than forty-four
volumes in the Japanese characters,
and is profusely illustrated in the high
est style of art. Washington is repre-
sented in the clothes and fashion of the
present day, and with a moustache,
cane, and accompanied by
skye-terrier. He is gazing at a lady
with a train, a Grecian bend. and a
hideOus waterfall. As it is the first at
tempt of the kind, and as it is a great
curiosity in itself, the book would be a

The PdH MAI gazette makes a note
of a curious practice which prevails
among fruiterers in London, Persons
buying West Indian pineapples are
asked whether they will have heads to
the fruit. In other terms, West India
are dressed for dessert at
small cost as British hot-house pines,
by the ingenious plan of inserting in
the summit of the fruit tuft or crown
of leaves belonging to the latter, and
thus guests are deceived into the notion
that the pineapple which graces the
table was grown in the hothouse of their
host, who probably never had a hot
house, and knows nothing about the
cultivation of pines.

series of papers, including the lists of
the original proprietors and share
holders, in which Shakspeare's name
does not appear. In an old affidavit by
the sons of James Burbage it is stated
that in the "Globe Theatre" Shaks-
peare, Hemings, Condall, Philips and
other players, were partners in the pro-
fits of the blouse" that is, in the re-
ceipts. In regard to the "Black-friars
Theatre, THE affidavit states that Shaks-
peare, Hemings, Condall and Richard
Burbage were engaged as players.
A Christian was once asked how he
could keep so calm amidst all the cares
Of life. He answered:
In this way; | train my eyes for all
evil, as well as all good, comes from the
mind to the heart. Every morning be-
fore L enter upon my daily work among
men, L fix my eyes thoughtfully on
three things;
First, raise them toward heaven,
and remember that life and all it's strug-
giles will be over there.

Thirdly and finally, | look upon the

myself for all sorrow, and live amidst
the cares of life satisfied in God

The Northeast Georgian, of Athens,
notes the prevalence of report in that
city that, Sunday or so ago, a man
living near Scull's Shoals, about twenty
miles below Athens, went fishing, seat
ing himself on a rock. Not returning
home at night, search was made for him,
and he was found seated upon the rock;
and upon the party requesting him to
get up and accompany them home he
told them that the Almighty had sent a
Judgment upon him, and he had become
4 part of the rock and could not move.
His friends, thinking that he was only
esting, took hold of him and attempted
% move him, when he commenced
