Court Manners in Japan.

.CHEvAIIER Won SCHAFER, late director
OF the Austro- Hungarian Chancellery in
London, has recently had an audience of
the Mikado, in his new capacity OF Min
ister- Resident in Japan, and the Vienna
A6endpof gives an amusing account of
the proceedings on this occasion. The
Japanese court has, it appears, under
the influence of European civilization.
abandoned all the Oriental magrifcepce
which formerly characterized the recep-
ton oil foreign ambassador, and the
ceremony is now marked by a simplicity
even greater than that which prevails in
many European courts. The Minister
and his suite were conveyed in carriages,
but without any military escort, to the
palace, which was guarded by only two
sentlnels, who presented arms on their
arrival. On entering the palace six
chamberlains in black dress-coats ush-
cred them into the waiting-room, which
was furnished in the European style.
with black marble mantelpiece, sur
mounted by looking glass in a plain
frame, chairs and tables and a Brussels
carpet. The Lord Chamberlain and the
Vice Minister then led Herr Won Scbafer
into the audience-chamber-a large hall
divided into three partitions by two par.
allel glass walls The Mikado, a some
what tall, slim young man, looking older
than his age, and clad in rich uniform
similar to that of French Field Mar
shall, stood in the center compart-
ment, in front of plain arm
chair, which apparently did service for |
throne. He received the deputation
gracioas,y, gently rubbing his hands and |
smiling whenever a particularly we'll |
turned compliment was addressed to |
him by the Minister in the course of his |
speech. The Mikaao read his reply, |
which was much the same as that of q |
European monarch would have been un- |
der similar circumstances, and then dts |
his visitors with a gracious |
nod." Shortly after the Minister was adj |
mitted to an audience of the Empress. |
She stood in the same partition as the |
Mikado had previously occupied, and |
leaned against the same armchair. The |
Mikado, however, was alone, while the |
Empress was accompanied by three of |
her ladies of honor, who stood with a |
paper umbrella in the partition on her
left. She was dressed in wide trousers
Of deep red silk, which entirely covered |
her feet, an upper dress of the same stuff |
and white silk underdress, with wide

White chip bonnets to wear with black

hats for the country are very large. The
broad brim turns up high in front, is
dented in above the ears, and droops on

ings overhang the water: the fronts OF
the best houses line the syhelum on both
sides; and one floats ia q Cashmere gon-
dola down the Grand Canal, beneath Its
seven bridges, amidst spectacle OF SIN
gular beauty At night the lights flash
along the river and its surface CLEANS
with varied illumina.ions. The boats
used ON it are fifty or more feet long, and
many of the people live altogether on
the water In one part of the river all
fishing is forbidden, because the people
believe that Gholab Singh, one of their
former Kings, has been changed into a
fish and haunts the place forever. Float
ing in their boats along the Grand Canal,
throng of strangers and natives meet
one another, greetings are exchanged,
friendly words are spoken, the gay scene
is summer carnival, and the vale Of
Cashmere rings with the echoes OF
mirthful voices. Yet the gardens planted
by its early rulers are among its chief at
fractions; they line the fair Wulmar
Lake, and glow with fruit and flowers
cascades break out on every side; ter
races and kiosks fill the view; and in
Shalimar Bagh, one of these later Edens,
Moore's Georgian maid exclaims:
Ifthere be an Elysium on earth,
Ii IL this, it lie this
On another fair lake, the Dull, floating
gardens covered the surface and produce
abundant crops of cucumbers and melons.
The men of Cashmere are tall, fair and
well-proportioned, but the ladies are
profaneIy described as exceedingly ugly;
its Nourmahals and Lalla Rookhs live
only in the poets fancy.
The fame of the happy vale may posi-
bly, have faded with the flight of years
had not the productions of its looms
given 1t renown in every Western land.
Its shawls are dear to the gentler sex in
every cline. They are made from the
softer wool of the wild goats of Lassa
and Ladakh, which is chiefly spun by the
| women of the vale. The skeins are dyed
of the richest tints. The weavers, who
| are usually men and boys, work crowded
together in small rooms. Their skill is
unsurpassed. Many of the shawls are
woven in separate pieces, yet so care
fully joined together that the seams are
scarcely seen, and from three months to
two years is required to finish one of the
finest patterns and sometimes even long
er. The price of the palmer shawls
varies from $500 to $500, but the trade of
Cashmere is no longer active, since
European factories have so successfully
initiated its finest products.-EugeneL Lao

but were blind to the true meaning of
the visits. Fanny's father and mother
knew all about it and encouraged the
courtshlp. They gave their consent to
the marriage of the children, and one
evening posted them off to the residence
OF the Rev. Mr.. Nudge, Presbyterian
minister, in company with Fanny's older
sister, to be married. Mr.. Gale put

told him to be happy with his fair young
bride. The pair were duly married and
the bridal party returned to the brides
home with a certificate to shake in the

-Silas is character that ought not to

traits he had fondness for fox hunting.
On the day of his mothers funeral he
felt strong inclination to be away on
the chase. A light snow had fallen, and
all things were so inviting that he could
not resist the temptation to go. Going
down to his store with his dog he got out
his gun and snow shoes preparatory to
starting. His brother looked up in sur
