ion that the most difficult phrase of the
crisis is vet to be passed. They say
nobody wishes to disturb the great re-
suit of war, the liberation of the chris
uans, but while the demands calculated
10 lead TO conflict have been dropped by
Russia, similar consideration was not
shown for Austria.

TRAVELLING IN JAPAN.

A long ride on a japanese pack-h
is an epoch in the life of any traveller.
AS the animals are shod with straw, and
as the roads are very rough. they never
attempt anything beyond walk even
with the most violent inducement. The
traveller is perched high up 10 a hard pill
lion, in sort of a valley, the sides of
which are composed of his luggage, spare
hats, shoes, girths, and straps rolled into
bundles; his legs are doubled up so that
his knees touch his chin. and the sensa-
ton is like that of being on the back of a
camel. Thus placed he must perform his
Journey, or as AN alternative he may be
driven TO the Kago. or litter. This may
either be basket slung on a pole, or "A
regular box with doors and sliding shut
tiers. The litters of men of rank, such as
once were frequent enough in the streets
of Yedo, but which have gone the way OF
so many remnants of old Japan, were
often small rooms gorgeously decorated
and painted, and requiring score OF
coolies to carry them; but the litters
which the ordinary traveller must use are
OF the basket type, and as provocants OF
suffering and misery are second only to
the pack-horse. To the native, whose
normal position when not standing or
sleeping is squatting on the heels of his
feet, confinement OF several hours in "A
kago, with scarcely change OF position,
is no hardship; but to the European the
agony of sitting cramped up in the space
OF an armchair, with legs curled up,
tucked in or huddled together. for an in
definite period. must be actually suffered
to be appreciated. Temporary relief
may be obtained by sitting with the legs
hanging over the sides; bnt IN this case
they either Craze the ground or come in
contact with the huge Dolders with which
the road is Uttered; by stretching them
out in front, when they kick against the
coolie; or by stopping altogether and
walking. which means loss OF time. but
which is the only eflicacious method Of
escaping the pains of cramp. The kago
is, however, much more rapid than the
pack horse, aud far more economical.
The coolies are well-trained, sure-iooted,
stalwart fellows--as IA rule, tour To a lit
ter covering easily their five or six miles
an hour, and resting but rarely. The
motion, however, is very unpleasant, and
is apt. like that OF swing, to make the
unaccustomed traveller leel sick -Beigrd-

and my head was covered with ulcers, which had in
places eaten into the skull-bone.
The best physicians said my blood was so full Of
poison they could do no more for ihe. About this
