MAN.HoRsEs IN JAPAN.-AMr. Pidgeon
Of New England, has been travelling in
Japan and has written book about it.,
containing many lifeiko pictures of the
country and its people, A strange feature
is the run by pair horse jinrickishas''
(mandrawn carriages)from Toxic Jeddo)
to Nikko. On the return journey the COOL
les offered to show the travellers their
power, and ran back to Nakada (fifty-
eight miles) in one day. The following
are the authors notes of the journey.
Leaving Nikko at 7,45 A. NJ, the men
ran twenty miles in two hours and fifty
minutes without a stop. Then they rested
twenty minutes, taking bowl of rice and
some weak tea The rest of the journey
was made by ten.mile stages, with stops
of "A quarter of an hour between each, and
the fifty. eight miles were completed in
ten hours, including stops, or eight hours
and quarter, exclusive of stops, being at
the rate of rs miles per hour while run
ing, and 7.8 miles per hour including
stops. The whole party arrived at Naka-
da in capital dondltion, laughing and chat
ting gayly. They ran, almost naked, at
an even trot with long, springy stride,
and took nothing but rice, a little fish and
tea by the way. Their feet were protected
by straw sandals; but if these wore out,
they were not particular about replacing
them with others. Their consideration
for one another was remarkable. The
man between the shafts had the hardest
work, and the strongest coolies are always
ready to take more than their fair share
of this position, whilo the weaker never
shirked it. TRAINED hard during The last
third Of tho journey; but whether they
drippcd with perspiration or rain made no
difference to those plucky little fellows,
who, after completing fifty miles, ran the
last eight miles, TO Nakrda within an
hour.

ALL THE WHILE.

The nights they come and the nights theyIso,
Ana the rosy twilights round them lie
Aud the stars are bright and the stars are sweet.
Aud sit in the silence and watch them meet;
But all the while my heart beats low,
For the moon is out of my sky!
The seasons come and the seasons go
Spring so gay, and winter so drear-
And sit in the light Of the golden hours
aud pick the blushing and beautiful flowers:
but all the while my heart beats low,
For the May is out Of my year!
IHe mornings come and the mornings go
Yellow and purple, crimson and gray
And the milk maid sings as she calls her cows.
And the farm lad whistles the while he plows;
Bnt all the while my heart beats low
For the lark, the lark is away!
The rain dcscends, and the gardens grow,
Aud the cammomile makes green her bed
ana the bushes are full as bushes can hold
OF bells of silver and globes of gold;
BHt all the while my heart beats low,
For the rose, the rose she is dead
The tides they ebb and the tides they flow,
And the sun shines more than the storm can rrowr
ANA the ships with their white sails flowing FREQ
Like forest of.silver cover the sea:
Aid all tho while my heart beats low,
For the one good.ship gone down
In Atice carr

WASHINGTON, January 2.-Govetn-
or Murray, of Utah Territory, is ex-
pected to arrive in Washington to-
morrow night, in response to a request
for his attendance in connection with
the discussion of the Utah contested
election case in the House of Repre-
sentatives.
In conversation with a correspond
ent this evening respecting the case,
Campbell, who holds the certificate as
delegate elect from Governor Muir
ray, said: II have been somewhat sur
prised to find 50 many men in Wash
ington who sympathize with the Nor
mons. 1t is strange if people cannot
understand thatif any man in Utah
except a Mormon, were to have two
wives, he would be tried, convicted,
and sent to the penitentiary, for big
amy, while here is MI. Cannon, who
acknowledges that he has four wives,
claiming a seat in Congress. Proba-
bly, these Mormon sympathizers do
not know that while any Gentle in
the United States, who should have
more than one wife, would be prompt
ly convicted and imprisoned for the
o%ffonse, there are only three members
in the Utah Legislature, in both
branches, who are not practical poly
gamists, each having more than one
wife"

OF DIR. BRAzELTON,
A Well known Physician at New
Market.

Knoxville Chronicle, 81
Information was received in the city
yesterday Of the supposed suicide Of
DR.. r. b. BrazeltOn, a we'll known
physician at New Market, Sunday
night. He had gone to bed as usual,
but was discovered in something of a
stupor about ten o'clock. Medical as
sistance was summoned and all the at
tention possible was rendered, but all
proved unavailing, and he expired at
six o'clock yesterday morning, A vial
ofmorphine was found in the bed with
him, with the contents mostly con-
sumed, and it was not definitely known
whether it was taken with suicidal in
tent or not, but the supposition was
that way. The effect was deadly, at
any rate.
DIR. Brazleton was one of the best
read physicians and surgeons in the
country, with a large and lucrative
practice; was a clever, social gentle
man and a good citizen, we'll liked by
all, and a fond and loving husband
and father, but had his fault, as every
one has. He was subject to seasons of
dependency, and was, perhaps, in
one of these that he was induced to
commit the deed. He leaves a wife
and family of small children, who
have the profound sympathy of all in
their sad bereavement.

Chicago Times. 1t is the voice of
Murat, the martial, crying in the will
derness: Prepare ye the way of John
Logan; make straight his paths; or, to
use his very words: "Logan's neck is
clothed in thunder, and he is a posi-
bic President of the United States"
And if he doesn't get the Illinois del
egation it will be a caution. Once
again Illinois is to have a favorite son.
She was for Blaine in 1876, for Grant
and Washburne, and finally for Gar
field in 1880. But her sons hitherto
have been adopted. Grant came from
Ohio, Lincoln from kentucky. John
A. sprang from her own teeming womb.
John is to be her own favoritO son by
1884.

A c mAGDALEN.
How She Fared Alter Her RefOr'
matiOn-NTarried 90 n Negro.

Minnie Brooks, alias Louisa Tin
ney, keeper of a notorious Fourth
avenue bagnio in Chicago, closed her
long career of sin recently by joining
the church and turning her den into
a resort for prayer meetings. Relig-
ious people evinced a deep interest in
the new Magdalen, but after their
ardor cooled the repentant was left to
the cold charities Of the world with
out means of support. 1t is just
learned that she has married her
former barkeeper, a celored man, and
a very black one. The evangelists
raise their hands in holy horror. This
unexpected denouement creates a
genuine sensation, but the reformed
woman remains steadfast TO her relig-
ious vows, and has set herself to the
task of converting her dusky husband,
and will probably succeed, as he de-
clares he is trying to become a Chris
tan. The colored husbands name is
Giles w. Hunt, an Albanian of very
genteel manners. Mrs. Hunt is an
attractive brunette, and is connected
with a highly respectable family in
New York.

committed in q of the States. with the
Territories not given, although one

evidently not complete in either case.
North Carolina is also credited with
four, Virginia with three, Louisiana
and Kansas with two each; Maine,
Colorado, West Virginia, Maryland
and Nevada with one each. Incom
plete as the compilation evidently is,
it is yet, to some extent, suggestive. 1t
shows homicide to be at home every
where in the Union, and that the
crime is not decreasing.

THE catastrOphes on the ocean last
year were almost without parallel; 1877
vessels were lost during the year, Of
which number SO were stranded, 40
foundered, 80 we're sunk by collisions,
IL fate unknown, z burned, 6 aban-
doned at sea, 2 sunk by ice, l was
broken in two, and l destroyed by ex.
p%losion. The money value Of these
ships and their cargoes is not stated.
But as they were all Of them heavily
laden, and most of them British
owned and built, the aggregate loss
must be a heavy load for marine IN
derwriters to carry. Nor are there
any data by which to infer the loss of
life involved in the destruction Of
these vessels, but it must in any case
have been very large.

The Commissioners Of Emigration
estimate that the number of emf
grants arriving during the year 1881
at Castle Garden, New York, will
reach 440.00O-an increase Of nearly
one third over last year and the larg.
est number received since the board
was organize i, in l847. The Middle
and Western States get the bulk of
the foreign settlers, though a strong
movement toward the Southwest ia
noticed. The emigrants already re-
ceived have brought about $4,000.
600 TO the country, Of which nearly
one-fourth has been paid out
for railway transportation westward.
Illinois has received over $1,000 of
the new arrivals; Pennsylvania, 49,.
600; Ohio, $4,000; Michigan, II 1000;
Wisconsin and Minnesota, each 49,.
600; Iowa, 1900; Massachusetts, and
New Jersey, each 1000; Connecti.
cut and Missouri, each a little over
1000. Kansas, strange to say, has got
less than 1000, but The decrease is
probably to be explained by the adop-
ton Of the stringent prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment, which has
been held up as a bugbear to the
beer loving Germans. The general
health OF the arriving emigrants has
been unusually good and NO epidemic
or serious sickness has broken out on
the vessels in which they have been
carried.

THIS is q period Of remarkable de-
velopment and enterprise in the
South. Not snly is Northern capital
seeking investment here, but the
Southern people, according to their
means and opportunities, are taking
hold with characteristic energy and
intensity of purpose. Asan illustration
which has barely been noticed
in a passing way, a small
company composed of five
Memphis men and one citizen Of Ala.
bama has lately bought $1,000 acres
Of coal and iron lands at and around
Birmingham, Alabama. The gentle
men are E. Ensley, President; j. G.
Nicely, Napoleon Hill, N. Fontaine
and T. H. Milburn, of Memphis, and
Major Tom Peters, of Alabama. They
took full possession and control on
the 9th Of December. The en-
tire cost was 81, 1000. The
property includes a railroad, with
sixteen miles of track, thoroughly
equipped, and coal mines in active OPP
Grafton, only six miles from Birming-
ham, which turn out 100 tons OF coal
per day. This coal is already sold to
the iron works at the place, and il
paid for monthly as delivered, the
contract running ten years. Three
thousand tons can be turned out daily.
and this will bs done as soon as trans
p~ortation can Be provided for its deliv.
cry. The property includes 1000 acre:
ofthe finest iron land in the void. The
iron is one side of Birmingham anC

his speCialties. Miss kellogg, who
had been making herself quite CON
spicuous in her box, raised up her
hands when the ladies appeared, and
cried quite audibly;
"Do look at those females!"
The remark was heard, not only BY
persons near the box, but very dis
tinctly by the ladies so indelicately
referred to, and after the performance
an indignation meeting was held, at
which a number ofsimilar d~isagreeable
exhibitions by Miss Kellogg were re-
called.
After the performance at Macauley's
the prima donna and her escort went
to see Mayo at Masonic Temple. Here
she made herself quite conspicuous
also, and was invited into a box after
promenading about the lobby.
Clara Louise is not so young nor so
pretty that she comprehends a spring
chicken show in herself. This sue
cession of displays of i'll temper and
vanity indicate the approach Of peev-
ishness with matrimony.
