The LIght.hearted Japanese Children

One of the first lessons presented to a
foreign teacher in Japan is the reason OF
the great apparent happiness and light
heartedness OF Japan children. One
NAV walk for hours through the streets
Of Toxic, and scarcely ever hear q child
cry Of distress. Four principal causes
of this superiority of the children Of
Japan over those of other nations have
been suggested by an English lady resi-
dent there. They are worthy of the
attention of the teachers at home The
style of clothing, loose and yet warm, is
far more comfortable than the dress Of
our children. Japanese children are
much more ont in the open air and sun
shine. The absence Of furniture, and
therefore the absence OF repeatedly
given Instructions T" not TO touch" The
thick, soft mating forming at once the
carpet and beds of all Japanese houses,
and the raised Intel. on TO which the
child may Chamber as it grows strong,
constitutes the very bean ideal Of an
infants playground. Children are
much petted, without being capriciously
thwarted.
A child is not cuffed one moment and
INDUCED the next. To these four most
suggestive reasoI.S the writer would add
fifth, which is, that japanese character
is 30 constituted as to bring their eldors
into strong sympathy with the little
ones. 1t has been well said that " Japan
is paradise for babies, for you may
see old and young playing together at
battle-door and shuttle-cock IN the
streets while on holidays the national
amusement Of men women and children
is flying huge paper kites. Puppet
shows and masquerades also have their
votaries in thousands, from among both
sexes and all ages.

What Choked an Australian Fish.

An Australian paper has this : A large
fish, Of the Kathetostoma or stone-lifter
species, was found the other day on the
western beach, between the baths and
the railway pier. II is twenty-five inches
in length, or four inches longer than any
vet reported to have been found in Vic
torien waters. The fish was obtained by
Mr.. III. A. Smith, of Bathesford, who
takes some interest in the collection Of
curiosities, and by him it has been pre-
served. When the fish was opened for
the purpose of cleaning it, a piece Of
newspaper containing MIR. John Mobiles
name and an account of the fabulous
wealth of Mr.. Mackey, shareholder in
the Bonanza gold mines, in California,
was found in its stomach. Some of the
iocular spirits at Bathesford state that
although the fish succeeded in swallow
ing the advertisement, the statement
with regard TO Mr.. Mnckey's wealth was
too much for ii, hence i'm death on tbs
shores OF Ccrea Bay.

Me,innns Rnrned al the Stake.

A Mexican correspondent declares
that a horrible scene was recently en-
acted in the village of St. James, in the
district Of Concordeo. For six months
man named Sylvester Zacharias had
been bewitched, and having drank
three glasses Of water "to drive out the
Demon" he denounced Joseph Bonilia
and Diega Lugo as having bewitched
him. These two persons were de-
nounced 10 the prefect, and, having been
arrested, Judge Murino, a member Of
the supreme court OF justice, ordered
them to be burned alive. At seven
o'clock in the morning the witch and
the wizard were bound to the stake,
which stood in the center of a hillock of
faggots, about sixty persons, armed with
long Mexican knives, surrounding the
criminals. GAS soon as the fire reached
the witches" says the official report
sent TO the prefect of Ooncordeo, "they
cried out for their gods to be- sent TO
them" (probably their soothsaying or
conjuring paraphernalia). The fire was
extinguished, and these "gods
brought. As soon as they had them in
their hands they denounced three other
persons as accomplices, and these
having been compelled to mount the
pile, all five were then burned to death.

boat. intending 10 travel by rver to
Arkansas. They launched Their boat
about two O'Clock, and had only hoated
a short distance, when one Of the steer

drift with the current Just as they
entered the Ohio river the hat-boat
struck a fleet of coal barges, and the
fat boat parted in three pieces and broke
up, throwing the immigrants INTO the
water. Some of them climbed out on
the coal barges, and others were rescued
by skiffs. A Swiss family named hte,
consisting of father, mother and Two
children, and a man from Phiadelphla.

were saved, although with the greatest

At Silver Springs. twenty-five miles
south of Hat Greek, Wyoming Territory,
a member of Company A, Third Cavalry,
named Kennedy, recently threatened

evening Kennedy procured a carbine,

fer weald be found, and opening the
flap, fired ut the first man he saw, kill
ing him instantly, but instead OF Schaf-
fer, it proved to be John Van Mott, first
sergeant of the company. Kennedy was
put under guard. Great excitement
prevailed among the men Of the com
pany, and during the night the guard
was overpowered, a blanket thrown over
Kennedy's head, and at daylight the
next morning his body was found sus-
pended 10 the ridge pole Of the guard

NUMBER 2.


A newspaper correspondent tells The
following romantic story: Twenty years
ago, near Spezzia, on the Mediterranean
coast, there lived an Italian family, not
very wealthy, but in comfortable CIR
cumstanees. The family was composed
of a gentleman and lady and their
daughter. The latter, when she had
reached her sixteenth year (twenty years
Ago). fell deeply aud passionately IN love
with n young officer, who reqnlted her
love. But the parents Of the damsel
disapproved of the match, and, alarmed
al the progress Of TINS attachment, they
used their influence 10 the utmost and
contriyed tO marry their daughter 70
count, a wealthy man, clever. wellAn-
formed and very anxious for the match,
though many years older than the young
girl. The marriage took place, though
the count was fully aware Of a previous
attachment. Probably he thought IL
merely a young girls fancy. and the
parents did their best 30 make him be-
iieve il was 40. Unfortunately the
result proved their mistake. The young
girl dropped and pined-neyer smiled
and could not be persuaded 20 forget the
past. Her husband fell into the mistake
Of taking her to his house, near her
home, near all the associations which he
should have dreaded and avoided he
became more and more devoted 20 her
she turned from him with ever-increasing
dislike. At length her state Of health
alarmed the phyHisinn, who ordered an
immediate change Of scene. But the
mischief was done already. From morn
ing till night the unhappy young cTea-
ture wonld sob and moan and nothing
could comfort her. They travelled over
France. Germany and Spain, but the
only effect of change was TO bring On
extreme indifference and llstlesSness,
which increased till, when they came
home. the count found that be had done
no good and his wife had become a
harmless lunAtic. Even then, perhaps,
something might have been tried As q
means of recovery, some return 20 hap
pier times. but the count was Wild with
remorse and really deep affection, 10 that
he gave MP his life in trying 10 crafty
her various fanciez and frequent caprices.
For twenty years this has gone on
They live on an ideal villa cn O hiil over
looking the Gulf Of SpeEEia, with hand
some, lofty rooms, and outside you
could want nothing more lovely than the
groves Of olive and the vineyards. The
count spares no money 10 please the
