The Japanese Educational Commission

After two weeks of very hard work
the Japanese Educational Commission
have concluded their labors in this city,
and they took formal leave on Satur-
day. After having infinitely examined
the various systems of education in
Europe and America for the past four
years, they have selected the Boston
system as the model which they will
represent at home, and on their return
to Japan they will make a collective
exhibition of the Boston system in Yed-
do. To carry out this plan they have
not only visited all the grades of schools
in this city, but have purchased o col
lection of all the materials in furniture,
pianos, diplomas, maps, blanks, globes,
charts, desks, textbooks, books of refer
ence; in fact, a specimen of every thing
used in the schools, from the lowest
primary to the highest department; and
in addition they have secured all the
school documents since the organiza-
ton of the present system, including a
full set of reports since 1857. A build
ing is to be fitted up at Yeddo in the
style of the Boston schools, in which
the exhibition will be held.-Boston

A Strange Malady.

Nine miles west of Moulton, in Law
renee County, Alabama, lives James
Stokes, a poor country wagon-maker.
His daughter, Lydia, about % years Of
Fage, is the subject of this sketch. For
two years, past she has been the victim
tofa strange malady.' During this time
there haslbeen taken from her body at
different times over, n hundred pins
and needles, besides wood %splinters.
No great number have been extracted
at any oneatime.d They have appeared
and been taken from all parts of the
body, viz: face, head, neck, back,
breast, arms aadlegs-~She believes
lthat she is sbewitched.t Her regular
physician is David Dinsmere, who will
IFouch for. the facts. The peculiarities
of the case are that the pins are head
Fless, the, needles are sometimes taken
out in bundles, or rather as many as
five twisted together as though made Of
soft iron wire, and while they are most
ly corroded and more or less decom-
posed, as though they had passed
throughsTthe stomach, yet some +
bright as though but recently inserted
fronasthe surface. Every 'ehmort SO far
has failed to detect how she comes pos
sessed of them. She has been deprived
of both pins and needles, all such fem
inineconveniences being carefully con-
cealed from her for long periods of time
withoutmaterfally checking the trouble.
Where she gets them, how, when, or
by what agency is yet, to be discovered.
| The location from which they are tax
IN is first indicated by asmall pustule
or pimple. She is delicate, apparently
teonsumptive. DIR. c. w. Lyon, who
lives about five miles from Stokes, is
fam lliar with all the facts and parties
and it is to him I am indebted for the
~notessfrom which | write out this state
Ement. which is no sell or sensation nor
overdrawn, though in reference, to Miss
Stokes's age my notes are not clear.
They were taken.in the neighborhood
and verified by other cerroborative tes-
timony. Medical records furnish &C
counts of similar cases in the past, with
the eccepfrici causes. q The cause In this
case remains to, be diseoyered.-Cor-

business man Of Albany, who recently
found. himself sscornered" financially
and desired to go into bankruptcy. He
applied to a lawyer to know how much
it would cost to have the. papers made
out and the business put through. He
was told that the nexpense would be
about 500, and, appearing to be salts
fed with the price, he told the lawyer
to go ahead. The lawyer followed the
instructions, and, when the work was
done, called for his little 500. GAN

but it reached her ears, and, when the
words ceased, her head sank upon his
shoulder. The fire in the CRATE died
away, the candle upon the table flick
cred, and, at length, went out; but,
with its last ray, it showed the old man

A Brave Woman.

The Pictou (Ontario) Times gives the
following account of the goring to death
by a bull of MI. Aaron p. Cameron, of
Hitler: 1t appears that Mr.. Cameron
was taking a bull from the field to the
stable. When near the door of the
stable the brute became enraged and
made an attack upon Mr.. Cameron,
who ran from him, and at the same
time called his dog and endeavored to
urge him to an attack upon the bull.
Mrs. Cameron happened to hear her
husbands call to the dog, and at once
a to his assistance. When she reach
ed the spot the infuriated beast had
knocked Mr.. Cameron down and vas
goring and treading upon him in a
frightful manner Mr.. Cameron had
struggled hard to defend himself, and
had caught hold of the ring inserted in
the animals nose. This he held with
a death-like grip, when Mrs. Cameron
came up. In an instant the brave and
noble woman took in the whole situa-
husband that ear only challenge our
wonder and admiration. She, with q
great effort, released Mr.. Cameron's
grip upon the ring, and, taking a firm
hold upon it herself, literally forced the
bull away, and, as were, literally
dragged him to the field again, where
she fastened him in. There was no one
to assist her except a little boy, who
was able to do nothing more than open
and close the gate. She then returned
to her husband, and carried him, bruis-
ed and mutilated. to the hOuse. The
saddest feature of all is that the vicious
brute had done its work only too well.
MI. Cameron survived but q short time.

Recent adyices from Berlin speak
of an attempt made by the Princess
Royal and other titled ladies', to initiate
AZ abandonment by German ONE of
Paris fashions, and an adoption of fash
ions created at Berlin. Plates of the
proposed modes have been published,
but they are as absurd as any yet is
sued from France, and the movement
does not promise great success.

Upon the seventh birthday of An
astasius Green, which was celebrated
all over Austria and Germany. it is said
that the good old poet replied with his
own hand to overa thousand letters
and kilograms of congratulations sent
him. The overwork and excitement
upon that occasion induced the illness
which terminated in his death recently.
He left a sum of $4,000 guilders, and
also the proceeds that may result from
new editions of his works, for scholar
ships of students of philosophy, medi-
cine, Jurisprudence and technical sci
enoes.
