THE LECTURE LAST NIGHT.-
night by an audience composed
largely of ladies, to listen to the lec-
ture of Hon. e. Z. DeLong, on
Japan. delivered on behalf of the
sufferers by the recent flood Mr..
belongs remarks were interesting
and instructive. His time was, of
necessity, limited, and his opportu-
mites of preparation entirely insult
ficient. He, therefore, said he would
confine himself to little conversa-
ton with those present upon the
subject of the mysterious Empire
of Japan. The conversation " ex-
tended for about an hour and half.
1t was a rapid and vivid survey of
the history and present and religious
status of the japanese people, re-
viewed by the personal observations
which Mr.. belongs distinguished
position gave him such full oppor-
tunity of making, which his acute
ness enabled him to observe intel
ligently, and which his eloquence
and suavity enabled him to present
attractively. He closed by a touch
ing expression of his sympathy with
our people in their misfortune, and
the large audience dispersed most
heartily pleased with Mr.. DeLong.
The amount received from his self
sacrificing generosity will prove
large (as vet we do not know the
exact figures), and the entire people
of Eureka extend to him their heart
felt thanks. 1t is only fair joke
on Charley to state that he never
could have got into the lecture room
if he had not purchased lot of
tickets.-EHrekd Sentinel, July 80.

THE JAPANEsE.-Thed dress of the
Japanese, sayS-a writer, is plain, but
quite neat and comfortable, and, be
it said to their praise, far surpasses
our own in point of physiological
fitness. The men and women both
wear garment very much resemb-
ling the old Roman toga, which is
fastened about the waist with a
broad girdle. The women wear
their hair in very nice way, some-
thing after the waterfall style, minus
the false material. The men wear
theirs pretty much as the Europeans
do. 1t is the custom for the ladies,
as soon as they marry, to blacken
their teeth and shave their eyebrows,
IN order, | presume, to prove their
affection for their husbands; and l
should think it ought, for it renders
them horribly ugly. The young
misses are usually very cookbook
ing, and some of them beautiful,
but none of them can compare with
our young girls at home. They are
accepting the modern improvements
with wonderful celebrity, and are
making great strides on the road of
civilization, rapidly distancing their
neighbors.

A FEW days ago, some bright but
naughty Salem boys borrowed two
eggs from neighbours hennery, and
after boiling them in calico bag,
returned them to the nest. The
boiling process left the eggs covered
with the pretty figures of the calico,
and the excited owner exhibited
these curiosities far and near, and
sought in vain for an explanation of
inns "curious freak of nature"
whether an Intellectual attempt to
match out calico chicken revealed
10 him the stupendous joke or not
cannot be told, but the hen fancier's
enthusiasm has subsidized. When
any one says "calico chickens" to

mat he has an important appoint

TFoR THE TINES.
THE SOLDIERS LOVE.
The wind blew over the scented hay,
The sun lay low in the west;
In mute farewell to the fading day
soothed my love to rest.
held her close to my throbbing heart,
kissed her lips in joy.
In last good night to eyes of brown,
On the river, in dear Amboy.
As they lowered the flag In the dark ming camp
To the sound of drum and fife,
cursed the night that was dark'ning round
The one sweet day Of my life.
In the early dawn we marched away
To sick'ning fields of blood,
Where many soldiers crown of fame
Hung DER the crimson food.
But the one sweet dream of those happy days,
Was her, ,.of the soft brown eyes;
In tender dream of camps hushed din
In the dusk of the evenings skies.
Now darkness falls from the clouds above
Between me and my JOY:
And bid farwell to my buried love
Near the river, in dear Amboy.

MORE MoNEY.-Wc believe If Congress
would enact law To redeem or pay off l. s.
bonds to the amount of sl01 900 900, hy ,h4 is
sue If notes, great impetus wouli b" glvrii 10
the business Of the country. The bond Holder
having disposed of his bonds, would loan his
money Oh mortgage, or invest in some other Sc
curity, and the rate of interest would be de-
creased. Some relief Of this kind is needed
AT present loan cannot be obtained without
bonus Of five or ten per cent. and hence i'm
provements are prevented and enterprise rctar-
ded. A great impetus would be given TO bust
ness If money could be procured more readily,
and we should hear no further complaint Of
hard times. The notes could be KEEP. at par by
making them receivable for duties on imports
and, it is our firm conviction that by such course
the banks could resume the payment of specie
We say this because we believe that the pre-
MUM on gold is mainly owing 10 tie demand
created for it in paying duties. II it were not
for this demand, 1t would cease TO command
premium so long as the balance of trade remain
ed in our favor. This balance of trade could be
retained by increased duties, and legislation
should be shaped accordingly. Great demand
for labor would follow and if the price Of food
and clothing advanced somewhat, wages would
advance accordingly. This was the case dur
ing the war, and Notwithstanding the high
prices which prevailed the laborer was never
better of, and men acquired property that never
thought Of doing so before. Make labor album
dant, keep factories, FORCES aud foundries il
operation and the same will be the case again

cbnsetts, gave way on Saturday morning, aud
almost entirely DESTROYED the above named vii
lagos, including large brick factory, whole
blocks Of tenement houses being swept away
without mOments warning. 1t is supposed
that 100 persons, mostly women and children,
were drowned. AT Haydensville rs bodies were
recovered, while many others were swept down
the stream,
