American Fashions in Japan.

The Japanese Weekly Mail says:
" Fashions have strange origins. When
it was announced that drawing room
would be held for the first time last New
Years Day, certain Japanese lady,
who was very anxious to be present,
found herself in some perplexity about
her hair, which was chiefly conspicuous
by its absence. Of course it will be sur
missed that she escaped the dilemma by
using chignon, but the consequence of
heraction are notso equally conceivable.
Her false hair made such a sensation
that it has since become universal
fashion thus to supplement natures en-
dowments, and we shall probably find
the enhanced value of wigs quoted pres
emily as further proof of the currency
depreciation. % A Japanese woman wear
ing false hair was an unheard of thing
in Japan heretofore. but this proves how
quickly the sex will follow each other,
even in far-off Japan.

Historical Tree DESTROYED.

An historical tree has lately been de-
stroyed in Greece cypress, described
by Pausanias 400 years B. c., and one
OF the two largest in the Peloponnesus.
Some $50 feet high, the tree had a
diameter at the base of ten feet, and a
circumference of twenty -fvefeet Altman
height, andof 240 feet where the branches
were most developed. Some careless
Gypsies camping in its shade set fire to
the tree, not vestige surviving. Now
the only giant tree left in the province
is huge plantain near Naupactus, on
the gulf Of Lepanto, which is equally
large, but some six centuries younger.

GENTLE INFLUENCES.

Violets, in the leafest shade,
BY their odors are betrayed;
Soft winds, over fower-felds blown,
BY their fragrant breath are known:
Dew, by freshened leaves confessed,
Vets unseen Earth's slumbering breast;
Rills, from out the bleak hillside,
Swell to rivers deep and wide:
Rivers, flowing fast and free,
Widen to the boundles5 Sea:
All great thin gs that move the earth,
To gentle issues owe their birth:
And soft influence still is best.
Bringing comfort, love, and rest. "
Sweet domestic love is strong
Leads to Right and warns from Wrong;
Kindly whispers mightier prove,
And to loftier actions move,
That the fretful voice of Scorn,
Of Contempt and Anger born.

Eduar1 10th. the popular, but very poor, Hun
garian lyric poet and drarnatst. who died some
weeks ago has left an aut0blOpaphcal account Of

germs Of consumption already at work IN him hut

caution against the advances OF he destroyer while

no other choice, ~ he Thought, between that ami

Jewish landlord, he saw two peasants Oh criminal
looking aspect, drinking and playing ut cards 10th
ordered ali omeette and half "A bottle OF red wine.
He disconnected by the evident character Of
his host and his fellow guests, that he thought IL
better TO trust himself to the snOwstOrn for the
Inainder of the night than to such companions. He
put down his five guden piece, at which the two
peasants glanced, and received four gulden and
seventy kreu2ers III change.
Warmed by the WINE, he started off with reinvigo-
rated force. He had proceeded some distance when,
10 his great good fortune, as he says, he slipped
and rolled down into deep ditch. As be could not
find his way back 10 the road, he made of the
ditch IA a track. The SHOW had ceased and had not
fallen 80 heavily on the downward route az on the
ascent. In a few moments he heard the voices of
