The Japan Gazette of August 6, says Of the
government finances Of that country:

government finances or Cnat country:
In June last year the government levied 8
loan upon the established Kuawazoku
Bank of 100000 yen. With 100000 yen
now raised, the exchequer will have been en-
riched within year by no less than 25,00O,-
600 yen of borrowed money, or about 40 per
cent Of the income. Some curiosity Is shown
to learn the disposition Of the advances.
The chief subject of interest has been the re-
alization Of the internal loan offered by the
Japanese government to the people. The
terms Of The loan are these: Government
bonds for 50, 100 and 500 yen, bearing 6,per
cent interest, redeemable within @ period OF
twenty-five years by annual drawings, have
been Issued for an amount Of yen 12,5O0,O0O at
20 per cent discount. Notwithstanding the
fact that an operation of a similar character
was inaugurated in 1873, with the additional
advantage Of loans in paper money then made
In exchange for government bonds bearing
per cent interest being redeemable in gold,
this issue of government bonds was, the ma
tive press asserts, eagerly subscribed for to
an extent vastly in excess OF the issue.

"She Loved Him Not"

"Well, what have such respectable

the Judge in the Jefferson Market court
yesterday, of George and Julia Schutflin,

veil, and showed her pretty face dis

The Hawthorn in California.

A considerable number of hawthorn
plants have been imported from England
within the last few years. These are
mostly grown as separate shrubs, and are
very beautiful in their way. They take
kindly to the climate if they are well cared
for, and especially if they get water
enough. The hawthorn comes to per-
lection in England where the climate is
moist. 1t is chiefly used for hedges in
that country. A correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, writing from London,
gives the following account Of this beau
tiful shrub:
Persons "to the manor born" were late
ly calling the season backward, " and they
went so far as to grumble at the haw-
thorn as being less brilliant than in for
mer seasons. But, in fact, to the unfa-
miliar sense this bush of odorous coral
has been delicious. You know it, doubt
less, as one of the sweetest beauties of ru-
raj England. 1t deserves its reputation.
We have nothing comparable with it in
North America, unless, perhaps, it be the
elder of our wild woods; and even that,
with all its fragrance, lacks equal charm

kindred shrub for hedges in this country,
and hence their fields are seldom disfig-
ured with fences. AS you ride through
the land you see miles and miles of mead
ow traversed by these green and bloom
ing hedge-rows, and you find that they
give the country charm which is quite
uncommunicable in words. The green
of the foliage enriched by an uncommon
humid air and FURNISHED by the SUMS
just now in perfection, while the flowers
are out in such abundance that the whole
realm is one blaze of color. l saw the
other day, near Oxford, on the crest of q
hill, at least 5000 square yards of scarlet
peoples. You can easily imagine what
a glorious dash of color that was, in q
green landscape lit by the afternoon sun
Nobody could help loving land that
woos him with such beauty.
We'have not seen hawthorn hedge in
California, though there may be such. The
plants grow readily from cuttings, and
the blossoms appear to be rs sweet as in
England. 1t is deciduous shrub, and
would, of course, present bare hedge
for four or five months of the year. The
cypress is very popular here for hedge
plant because it is evergreen and very
bright when it has been washed by the
hose pipe or by the rains Of winter. The
Usage orange does well enough for farm
ers when the gophers let it alone; but
it does make handsome hedge about the
house. One of the handsomest of all
hedges is that made by the Cherokee rose.

Being who disposes of events and governs
futurity. He sees, at one view, the whole

A CURIOUS APPLE TREE.-Widow
Wealthy Crane, of East Windsor, Conn,
has flourishing apple tree sixty years
old, that bears goodsized but seedless
apples. The seed-cells are perfect, but
seed itself has never been found in one.
The deiormity is caused by the tree in a
way growing upside down, it having been
started by bending the tip of branch
into the ground, and not cutting it from
the parent tree until it had taken root.

The BEAUTY OF WoMAS.-Alma.
Tadema. the distinguished artist, thus
expresses himself in regard to the fe.
male form: Il do not agree with you
that nature is harmonious and truthful.
Nature seems TO me rather to follow the
principle of surprise and compenss-
tions. handsomely shaped models
nearly always have ugly-or, if not
ugly, igpoble, commonplace, vulgar
faces, such as could not be introduced
into any competition of any elevated
kind and pretty girls are often ill
shaped, and still oftener dsformed,
by COMPRISING their form to suit the
exigenc;es of modern dress. This 10
a perfectly natu:al sequence of the con-
dition of costume. A beautifully
formed woman shows to poor advan-
tsge IN modern drapery. She appears,
to eyes trained to admire a purely arti-
ticisl outline, thick wasted .nd straight
up and down. The reason is not re-
mote. Modern custom is made, not to
reveal beauty, but to conceal defects.
The waist or cincture, is far too low.
and divides the body into two parts,
hideously and artiticially. besides weak
ening the muscles on which q beautiful
waist depends, by supporting them.
instead of letting them support them
selves.

on in New York State. Two young
men of gentlemanly bearing travel to-
gether and put up with some good

tender him coin for their entertainment
and after requesting him TO sign his
name in an innocent looking little
book. SO that they may keep track OF
their expenses The good natured farm
er did so, and in few days Is greatly
a.tonished at the presentation of his
note of hand for hundred dollars OF
so, which the gentlemanly yoong men

The supply bill for the present
year levies q tax Of five and quar-
ter mills, exclusive of school tax
and county tax, or total of ten and
q quarter mills, quarter Of q mill,
or twenty-five cents on the thousand
dollars, in advance of the taxes last
year. 1t will be collected in two
equal instalments payable respec-
lively in May and October. The
whole tax may be paid in October,
but in that case six per cent.
penalty is paid on the May install
ment. On tho first of November
the regular penalty of fifteen pcr
cent. will attach, and delinquent
property will be sold on tho 18th
of November. The poll tax will be
collected on all able bodied males
from twenty-one to sixty years Of
age. School trustees are not ex-
empt as heretofore.
It is estimated that $619,824
will be acquired from taxation. AS
one mill realized $110, 115 last year,
the present levy is expected fully to
meet oil demands. This seems to
be as reasonable tax as can be
expected. We hope that successful
crops this year will enable the peo>
pie to meet it without trouble.

ACCORDING TO THE Columbia re-
porters there are more "brilliant"
men in our Legislature than are to
be found in any similar body except
perhaps the Georgia Assembly.
We backwoods people always read
the reports in order to gauge our
great men, but when we are gravely
informed that all are "brilliant" we
begin to fear a mistake somewhere.
