REM MAitKABLE If TRUE.

The following incident of the famine,
reported by the Collector Of Monghyr, is,
says the Times OF India" certainly re-
markable:--
a woman of the fishing caste was sit
ting by the side of the Glngcs, some one
hundred miles f,om here, in tho Pntna
District, about daylight of the sixteenth
of August Suddenly the bank on which
she was sitting gave way, and she fell into
the water. dragging wish her a large bum
die of castor-oil sticks which she was car
rying at the time. She managed to sup
port herself on these sti' ks, which formed
u kind of hfe-buoy. and she WAS carried
down by the current, Which WAS then run
ming at Il great pace. 4, each village or
boat Was passed, she shouted to the viii
layers to help her, but no one came to
her relief In this way she was carried
nearly one hundred miles, and, fortunately
Cor har, when she had been twenty ty-four
hours III the water, she passed by Non ghyr,
and WIS rescued by Col, Murray, Who,
seeing her floating by, sent his private
boat and rescued her. The woman did not
appear much the worse for her prolonged
stay in the water, but naturally was mitch
impressed by the fact Of her being r9s"u.4

a IAPASEsE THEATRE

In Japan the tlcatrcr are very ruci
patronized. Tho play commences ut six
O'Clock in the morning and terminates ut
eight or nine IN the evening; often the
same piece occupies two and tire" days in
the representation. Gentlemen are no. par
ticular about the question of full dress, but
the ladies are; the latter TO cover their
swathy looks, have the ftcc and shoulders
white washed with almond milk; II black
lead pencil marks the eyebrows, and the
lips are coated with gold, winch. after Il
while. take u red hue. The headdrcss is n
veritable piece Of engineering; it is scaf
folding that has to be commenced the eve
ming previous hat the beauty reclines
dressed till the theatre opens, and once
there she forgcts all fatigue; the robe ap-
pears to be swathcd in ribbon s1shcs, form
ing an immense knot ut the back.
The scene changing on the stage is sim
ply on the plan Of the turn table Cor loco
motives; at a given signal the table whirls
for the space of half circle, taking away
actors in the midst of their dialogue. and
bringing others on the scene in the act of
continuing the conversation, or represent
ing something new. Every actor has his
"shodow,' an individual dressed in black,
who never quits him, handing everything
he may stand in need Of. And when the
shades Of evening fail. he holds a candle in
one enc of Il STICK under the actors nose, to
allow the spectators to judge of the ac,or's
gestures and expression o. the passions.

world rs It dogs collar, viii complete the

ment Of the Ulster great coat, which was
borrowed couple of years ago from the
Irish peasanlry. But even in winter, there

Paul MOrphy.

Apropos of the announcement of the
consignment of Pull Morphy, the once
famous chess player, to an asylum in
New Orleans as a hopeless maniac, an
interesting sketch of his remarkable
career as a chess player has appeared.
For some time he has shown faint of
insanity and Of late years he has had an
almost morbid aversion to the game in
which he had such worldwide triumphs.
When a mere child he showed extra
ordinary powers in games of skill, and
especially in chess. He was trained to
the law, receiving careful education,
his family being in afliuent circum-
stances, but, though he gave no promi-
hence to his chess studies, it was soon
apparent that no player in this country
could contest his superiority at the game.
In 1858 he visited Europe and easily
conquered the ablest players in England
and on the continent. His remarkable
powers in playing from memory blind
fold created great establishment. At
Paris he played blindfolded simulta-
ueously with eight of the ablest players
of Europe, won six of the games, the
seventh being draw, and losing only
the eighth. His quiet style of playing,
refined courtesy of manner and unassum-
ing modesty under his triumphs also
made most favorable impression il
European circles. On his return to this
country he was naturally good deal O.
hero, but modestly declining to bt
lionized he returned to New Orleans
his native city, to enter upon the prac
tice of his profession and the real worl
of life, which he did not consider ches
to be. The wealth of the Morphy famil,
was destroyed by the war, and sine
then Paul has been thrown upon hi
professional earnings for his support
His success has not been great as q law
yer, and doubtless his failure to retriev
his broken fortunes has had an unfavor
able effect upon his already cloude'
mind,
