The Japanese Islands.

The area of Japan is about l50, 900 square miles, comprising nearly 5000 islands, mostly small. Of the four large islands Yesso is mostly mountainous. though having some extended plains well adapted to the production of wheat and rye. The island of Sag allan was ceded to Russia in 1875. Yesso and Curule islands are full of valuable tim Der. The forests of Japan are mostly evergreen. In all abont one tenth Of Japan is cultivated, and only one fourth of that adapted to cultivatfon-aa area scarcely greater than the State of Illi- nois.

They Loved Each other.

A writer in the London Truth gives the following picture of life at Baden: The other day I went to dine in 8 res- tauranL. There was at the next table to me G rman and his bride. After their soup, and after their fish they kissed each other. During the rest of their dinner the pauses between the courses were not sufficient for their feei- ings. tnd they kissed each other after each mouthful. What was I, what were the walters, what were the other guests who were dining, to themp They Ioy ed each other; eating and kissing were their ideas of happiness, and they saw no reason why they should not con- bine the two because they did not hap pen to be alone. The mutual affection of these artless beings amused me, al. though tLcy were both so singularly hidecus tt their osculatory exercises seriously aaected my appetite.

Insufficient Air.

No matter how perfect are all othek hygienic conditions, good health cannot be maintained if the air supply is insuf> icient. The purest air will become vii tiated, resulting in disease. especially in consumption, unless there is a constant means of supply.
 When the mortality from all causes among the metropolitan police ot Lon- don was only ninety in 1000, that of the Foot guards was Al from consumption alone. The barracks furnished the lat- ter only about one-fourth as much air per man as is allowed in prison-cells.
 The armies of Europe generally are, from similar cause, characterized by 8 large mortality. During the Crimean war, the rate in tue English army was g 9 per cent. of the total stren gth; that of the French 30; while in our civil war with its opeu-air life it was less than fineu mn.feYer may be almost ban
 In l760, Dr. Brocklesoy,' having built a large shed as a hospital for wounded soldiers and the mortality proving won- | fully slight, though the treatment was otherw the same as elsewhere, said: : | s. caniidly ascribe their fortunate es- cape more 10 the benefit of pure, keen air, which they breathed therein every moment, than to all the medicine they | took" Thus, over a century ag1. he stumbled on law Of hygiene now uni- versally acknowledged by experts. No expense was spared in the erection | of new house for monkeys in the Lon don Biological garden, to make it as ! much as possible like an English gentle mans drawing-room. These animals had been wintered in Eng land several years, and were healthy on entering their new house. But in one month fifty of the sixty were dead, and the rest were dying Of consumption. The whole trouble was tha. the room was not prop erly ventilated.
 Before 1886 the loss of horses in France by death was from lS0 to ls7 per thousand. Enlarged stables reduced the loss to sixsy-eight-neaTly two-thirds-
 In England the loss is reduced 10 twenty; in Germany to titteen- Let 1t not be forgotten that where the lack IS not suen as to produce fatal results, it may variously impair the health.-

Work and Wait.

A husband who for many years Had plowed his fields and sown in tears, Grew weary with his doubts and fesr.- 0I toll in vain, These rocks and sands Win yield DO harvest to my hands; The best seeds rot in barren lands- My dropping vipe is whitening; No promised grapes its blossoms bring; No birds among it's branches s'ng. "My,fiock is dying on the plsan, The heavens are brass-they yield no rain The earth is iron-I toil in vain .v While yet he spake breath Lad siirred His dropping vine, like wing Of bipd,- And from its leaves voice is heard=s "The germs and fruits of life must be Forever hid in mystery,
 Yet none can toil in vain for me. "A mighter hand, more skilled than thine, Must hang the cluster on the vine, And make the fields with harvest shine. Man can but work; God can create; But they who work, and watch, and wait, Have their reward though it come late. "Look up to heaven, behold and hear The clouds and thunderings in thy ear An answer to thy doubt and fear." He looked and loi cloud-drnped car, With trailing smoke aud flames atar, Was rushing to distant star.
 And every thirsty flock and plain, Was rising up to meet the rain
 That come to clothe the fields with grain. And on the cloud he saw again
 The covenant of God with men,
 Rewritten with his rainbow pen
 "Seed time and harvest shall not tail And though the gates of hell assail, My truth and promise shali prevail"

SENATORIAL CONVENTION.

We are able to give only a very
short space to the convention of
Robertson, Montgomery and Stew
art counties, held for the purpose of
nominating a candidate for state
senator.
The votes assigned to the three
counties were: Montgomery %,
Robertson %, and Stewart IA. The
preference of Montgomery Gas an
nounced in our report of the county
convention) was VIM. M. Daniel,
Esq, that of Robertson the Hon.
Jas. E. Rice, and Stewart was equal
~ divided between the two candi-
dates. So the vote stood through
the first five ballots, when the con-
vention adjourned till p. m. for
dinner.
After dinner the announcement
was made that Judge Rice had
withdrawn his name and positively
declined serving if elected.
Then Col. Judd, of Robertson,
moved that Mr.. Daniel be nomi-
mated by reclamation, which was
done with great enthusiasm.
A resolution was adopted during
the morning heartily endorsing the
course of the Hon. Jas. E. Bailey,
and instructing the nominee of this
convention to vote for his re-elec-
ton. There was no difference in
the convention at any time on any
principle, and both the candidates
were pledged to the policy laid
down in the platform of the Nash
Vile convention of last August.
The delegations were as follows
From Robertson county-C. G.
Bell, w. SadIer, John f. Owen, ].
H. Dunn and the Hon. John Judd.
From Stewart-Drs. j. @. Steger
and w. A. West, Messrs. J. w.
Stout, g. w. Lewis, w. b. Halli-
day and w. J. Atkins.
That from Montgomery was Civ
en- in our report of the county con-
vention, which appointed it.
Everyone went home fully re-
solved to carry out the intention of
the convention by electing VIM. NJ.
Daniel, Esq, to the state senate.

An 1mportant Correction.

In our report of the county con-
ventiOn we gave, through inadvert-
ence, an entirely erroneous account
of the significance of the voting for
Messrs. Dunlavy and Jones respect
lively. 1t was made to appear that
the transaction was a contest be-
tween the state-credit and low-tax
delegates in the convention. We
have now to state that there was no
such contest, but that
First-Several gentlemen hitherto
known as state-credit men voted for
Mr.. Jones, and many of the opposite
persuasion for Mr.. Dunlavy.
Second-Mr. Jones, as well as Mr..
Dunlavy, pledged himself to sustain
the action of the Nashville cOnven-
ton and to vote for Col. Bailey as
senator. @ -
Third-Mr. Jones would have re-
ceived the united support of the
democracy if nominated, as Mr..
Dunlavy will.
FOurth-There was no state-credit
or low-tax in the matter, but all
were united democrats.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONvEN-
TKOM
now we Nominated Honse again.

How We Nominated Honse Again.
This convention met in the Nash
vile courthouse last Saturday, the
18th inst. We will not bore our
readers this time with elections of
temporary and permanent chair
men and secretaries, committees on
credentials and basis of representa-
ton, ETC., etc. Let it be sufficient
that everything was done in order
and according to immemorial pre-
cedent.
Substantially this was the action:
Delegates from this county and
from that and the other met one
another in the courthouse at Nash
vile, and the word was, "Well, |
suppose it is John House again"
and the answer, "Of course it is; we
are instructed solid for House," and
another. "Oh, John House, of
course," and the answer, "Of course,
John House," 1t was manifest from
the first that the convention had
nothing to do but to nominate
House by reclamation. Several
speeches were made eulogistic of
our popular representative and in
approval of his course as legisla-
tor, and the formal business was
then completed. One matter, how
ever, outside the nomination was
attended to. An application had
been made to Col. House to 60 to
Ohio and aid in the canvass i'm that
state. This application he referred
to the convention through a friend,
saying that his services were at the
disposal of the people of the sixth
district; that that district had
right to all he could do, and he
would not undertake anything out
side of it without the sanction of the
convention. He believed that work
was needed in Ohio, and if the con-
vention sanctioned it he would go,
reserving to himself time to visit
every county in this district before
the election.
A motion was then made that the
consent of the sixth district be Civ
en-, which was carried unanimously,
Nothing was then left to be done
but the nomination of House by
which was done with
Col. House was then sent for and
briefly addressed the convention.
He said that he was unable ade-
quately to express his feelings at
being for fourth time nominated
for the Hermitage district by accla-
nation. He regretted much that
he had been prevented by affiiction
in his family from visiting the dis
trict this summer, but hoped yet to
meet his friends in every county of
it. He thanked the convention for
its permission to visit Ohio, and
there work for the election of Han
cock and English, as he believed
that the election of Gen. Hancock
would be of more benefit to this
country, and particularly to the
south, than anything that had hap
pened since the war. He hailed
Hancock as the apostle of reconcile
alton and as a minister of peace, as
the man to restore the Union, not
alone in name, but in fact.
While all this was going on in
the courthouse, Judge Hawkins,
he republican candidate for gov
arnor, was addressing a crowd, I
chiefly colored, just outside of it.
We caught a few sentences of his
speech, and left him to those who
him better than we
could.
