cry Of Y to per cent took place. This was
followed by general decline, the closing quo

QUAxpARY or THE eREEXBAcKERs.


The Greenbackers intend holding an
other conference next week TO agree upon
some plan for future action. They admit
being in d slight quandary. It is hard for
them to determine what course to pursue.
II resumption is a success they are forced
to admit that the greenbaek factor in the
country's politics will dwindle to very
fine point, or disappear altogether. II it
Is not successful (which all Greenbackers
predict, not at the same time wholly be-
lieving their predictions, however,, they
know that their theories will be popular
lied, and the party strengthened greatly.
While. waiting for resumption 10 sue
ceed or fail, the Greenbacker does not
know really what to do. He wants to
keep his party before the people, but there
being no chance for infationist legislation
this session, he does not know how to go
about it. The only financial legislation
that can be agitated by the party appears
TO be q war on the National banks. This
war has already been commenced some
what feebly and will not, it is predicted
by members OF Congress, amount to any
thing more than great deal OF talk.
From the present outlook things, there
fore, have rather blue appearance for the
Greenbackers, even taking into considera-
ton the thirteen or fourteen men with
whom the party claims that it will hold
the balance OF power in the next House.
Unless some new plan can be hit upon to
bring their ideas prominently before the
people, the Greenbackers must wait for
resumption to be put in operation, and il
successful, be content to see their ranks
reduced to q corporal's guard, or il a fail
ure, prerare TO contest the politics OF this
country, as a leading Greenbackersaid last

Banged Hair.

In regard to certain fashion now in
vogue, gentleman writes the following
to the Boston Woman's Journal:
Every day, l meet in the streets of
Boston, young ladies, who would other
wise look intelligent, reduced to the
appearance of idiocy by a peculiar
method of combing the hair down over
the forehead. This hideous deformity
is evidently copied from the patients of
lunatic asylums, and schools for the
feebe-minded. The effect is shocking.
Although not fastidious, l shrink from
a hideous mask. Is tia protest against
being considered strong-minded that
the young women thus assume the
garb of idiocy? / am told that lady
thus degraded is said to have her hair
banged" But it seems TO me that her
sanity must be badly banged to thus
defOrm herself.

Women of Japan.

As might be imagined from the character of the govern
ment woman plays no part in the history of Japan
though allowing for Oriental usases she is treated ON
the whole with toerahe leniency She occupies better
position in the family, from not entaing any charge at
her marriage bride receives dowry but on the
contrary is presented by her husband with handsome
donation which invariably appropriated by her father
In Japan therefore, it is considered more fortunate To
have daughters than sons the latter ultimately prove
very fortunate investment On the birth of n son the
event is commemorated by the planting of tree which
carefully tended to the day of his marriage when it
cut down. and furnishes material for chest designed ex
pressy TO hold the wardrobe of the newly welded coupe
The marriage as in China and Tartary is an affair be-
tween the parents and the wishes of the young people
themselves are never consulted The bride is usually in
her fifteenth year. but maturity being early DEVELOPED
wedoek may be contracted at still younger age and the
mother is OFTEN child herself Marriage is Il religious
ceremony, and is celebrated with great pomp and MANY
forms IN public temple, in presence of the priests ana
idols and the friends and kindred of both parties The
priest backens the peary teeth the bride using for this
purpose thr same indebe lacquer applied to eoascutes
and other similar lapaiwae; and this serves from that
time to her DEATH TO notify, like the wedagrine of En-
rope, that She has entered the marriage state
