Methods of LOcOmOtiOn in Japan.

A Japanese horse is so cheaply OBJ
tanned, and the cost of keeping it is so
insignificant, that it is the fashion here
to keep pony and trap for individual
or family use. One of the indispensable
auxiliaries of an outfit OF the pony and
trap is a ghetto" A s'betto' is hostler
and outrider, or rather he is an outrun-
ner, as his place has been determined
by usage to be near the head of the
team. These fellows run like racers,
and do away with the necessity of
hitching-posts and fastening gear; your
"betto" is sure to be even with the team
when the lines are slackened and the
occupant ready to alight. 1t is seldom
that gentleman takes the lines when
there are ladies in the vehicle. Gener-
ally the ladies drive without male COM
panions, and many of them have devel-
oped considerable ability in handling the
lines. The most inexpensive mode of
locomotion for any one residing here is
to join the jin-rikisha brigade. One of
these comfortable establishments, with
gig-top attachment for protection against
rain, can be purchased for about S25.
A man can be hired for about SO
month to be constantly on hand for
propelling purposes, and he will travel
about as far in a day as the average
equine stock of the country. He requires
no s'betto' or grooming; takes care of
himself and the rikisha; comes in the
morning and is at your command as
loug as needed. The jin-rikisha is an
Indispensable affair wherever it is intro
duced, and there are many thousands of
them in Japan.-Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.

1t happened that they opened one door
into the nursery just as Amy's papa opened
another. And when Bess opened her eyes.
almost smothered with her mothers hugs
and kisses, there stood her papa aud Amy's
papa. looking Mt each other, as Tom. after
ward. rather disrespectfully remarked.
''iust as his big Newfoundland Rover and
Bobby Sparks's big Cesar looked ut each
other, when they a,dn't made up their
minds whether to fight each other. or go
together and lick Dick Jefferd's wicked
Nero!"
Bess discovered that she was not going to
be scolded, but was the heroine of the hour !;
even Tom. who hated ''making fuss" WAS
actually CRYING and kissing her; and Bess
began to feel very important and thought
she might set things to rights. She tugged
at her fathers coat-tails to gain his entire
attention.
Papa she began. "don't you know
dogs delight obark and bite? I'll get nurse
to say them to you. il you don't. 1t isn't
right for you to quarrel just because you re
big and he's your brother, teo-just Ike
Tom and me. And he's Amy's father, and
AmY's my pertikier friend. You kiss him.
now, and say you're sorry, and-and I'll buy
you something nice !"
In her eagerness, Bess had fallen into
nurses style Of bribery.
There was one very good thing about it
1t made everybody laugh; and sometimes a
laugh will swallow up more bitterness than
tears can drown. They did not kiss each
other. to Bess's great disappointment; but
the very next day Amy came to see her, and
Amy's mamma, too, and she and Bess's
mamma kissed and cried over each other.
just as II they were scoool-girls; and they
called Bess ''a blessed little peace-maker;"
so Bess is quite sure that it is all coming out
right, and that she shall always have her
cousin Amy for her 'pertikler FRIEND"
When Bess's mamma heard that it all
came about because LadV Marion couldn't
spell her own name, she praised Lady Mar
ion, and said her ignorance was better than
all the accomplishments that she ever knew
doll to have! -
But as for Tom, who was really at the
bottom of it, nobody thought of praising
him.
But Bess had saved great many mer-
ingues and caramels for him-more than
anybody but boy could eat-so he didn't
mind.-SOphie Stceet, in st. Nicholas.

A Terrible Experience with Yellow
Fever.

The bark Marcelo, with the Danish
ensign at half-mast and a yellow flag
floating from the foretop, was towed to
the wharf of the Quarantine station on
Friday. Her Captain tells the following
story:
"My wife and had only been married
eleven months. Everything seems to
have been 'eleven' this terrible voyage.
She had only sailed once before with
me, and she liked it SO much that of
course she had to 90 again. Nothing
could have been happier than the voyage
to Martinique. While there disposed
of my cargo to considerable advantage,
and looked forward to equally profita-
BILE transactions at St. Mares. The Ia
bors on board the bark were very easy
my crew of eleven men, picked sailors,
were all Danes, except two, who were
Russian Firms. To find my wife and
five men suddenly afflicted with the ter
tible scourge was dreadful blow, but
l did not despair. l had a stock of medi-
cines on board, and the sick had every
possible attention. To no avail, how
ever. On one day three corpses to bury,
one that of the woman who was my
dearest friend, wife and companion.
Bv that time everybody on board
was sick. Coffins could not be
made, and the dead had to be
sewn up in canvas and thrown in the
sea. Three more dead in rapid success
sion, and the rest of the crew growing
daily weaker and weaker. l tried my
hardest not to despair, and managed to
keep up my courage; but the horrible
thought kept haunting me, what if we
all die one after another, and nobody is
left to bury the dead-what will become
of the ship, tossing hither and thither at
the mercy of the waves, a floating char
nel-house carrying the most fatal of
death to all who come in contact with
her? Thank God, no more deaths oc-
Cured after the first seven days since
leaving St. Mares, and the remainder
of the crew gradually became stronger
and more capable of working the vessel.
The men behaved nobly, and nursed
each other with complete devotion. We
sighted few ships on the voyage, but
we did not ask for assistance. We could
hardly expect favorable reception.
When we met the easterlv winds off
Cape Hatteras felt that Providence had
taken pity on us. and that there was a
fair chance of reaching Philadelphia
with my reduced and exhausted crew.
One more poor fellow succumbed ON
Thursday night. He might have lived
had we not run out of medicine. At
least he lies in the ground, a better fate
than that of his comrades. .'-Philadel-

THE GOSPEL OF GUSH.

Respectfully dedicated to the Secretary OF
A flag for the PRESIDENT
On the Despatch?
Soon there be ribbons
And garters to match!
Soon we shall see
The flag in its pride
Wherever his Majesty
Chances to bide!
Over the White House, in chamber and hall,
Room, and all;
Over the East Room. and all its fine furnish
Over the Dining Room, over its Furnishings;
Over the pigeons and partridges laid there. !,
Figured in China, when Mrs. Hayes staid
there:
Over the baker and over the sutier,
The cook and the hostler. the footman and but
Over the four-in-hand,
Over the bays.
Over the dog-cart,
Over the chaise:
Over the House when he goes to sign bills;
Over the druggist who mixes his pills;
Over the land,
Over the seas;
Waited by steam,
Or waiting the breeze:
Throwing for salmon,
Angling for trout:
Resting at home,
Or driving about:
Made into badges
And cut on his piate:
Carved on his panels
And writ on his gate;
Stamped on his linen,
His hose and cravat;
Stitched on his collars
And sewed on his hat:
Craven in metal or tossing in bunting,
Around him, above him, or rowing, or hunt

signet of royalty,
Take-off-your-hat loyalty;
The gospel of gush
Done up IN q rag,

A Bad Practice.

The President appropriates the United
States steamer Despatch to his personal
use in travelling sby sea. That vessel is
at his beck and call like private car
riage on land. As in duty bound, she
broke down to keep up the fair fame of
our magnificent navy.
The Secretary of the Navy appropri-
ates the United States steamer TalIa-
poosa for his personal use on pleasure
excursion. which is ingeniously de-
scribed as inspection of navy yards
He began by inspecting the voters at
Norfolk, who are ordered to support
Malone. He inspected the voters at
League Island and Philadelphia, who
are ordered to sustain Don Cameron in
Pennsylvania and Secor Robson in New
Jersey. He inspected the voters at
Brooklyn, who are ordered to stand by
the Stalwart ticket. He will inspect
the voters at Kittery in behalf of Blaine.
And if there were yard in Mississippi,
the enterprising Secretary would run
Fort Pillow Chalmers, with whom he
has formed political partnership.
Mr.. Folger appropriates to his per-
sonal use the revenue cutter Grant for
trip from New York to Washington. and
Aii' ioo AooiooaAo dppi opIIS1eCS ucI oA
the return voyage.
These public vessels are treated by
the President and the Cabinet as per-
sonal conveniences. A ship of war is
ordered about as the chief of bureau
or head clerk orders carriage, or
brougham fraudulently procured as
wagon for carrying the mail.
This practice began under Grant and
Secor Robson. It was continued by
Hayes and by John Sherman; and we
are sorry to see Arthur and Folger fol-
lowing in such footsteps. Nothing bet
ter was to be expected from William E.
Chandler, who organized the villainy by
which the vote of Florida was stolen in
1876.-M y Sum- @
The publishers of German novel
scored a hit recently in the line of ad-
vertising. They had inserted in most
of the papers a notice stating that a
certain nobleman of means, anxious to
obtain a wife, wanted one who resem-
bled the description of the heroine in
the novel named. Of course every
manageable woman who saw this an
nouncement bought the novel to see
how much she resembled the imaginary
beauty referred to.

B. A. Armstrong, sort Of clerical
cuss, in a card in the Radical an.
nouncifg himself a candidate for the
Legislature, and declaring tina! he
has "cut loose from the Democratic
party" uses the following language:
~ announced myself as a candi.
date for the House Of Delegates in
the Register, and the editor bull-dozed
me largely"
Fearing that a wrong impression
may be drawn from the aboye lang.
uage, we deem it proper to make an
explanation. When Mr.. Armstrong
handed us his announcement he ask.
ed our terms. We told him IS in
advance for that kind Of announce
ment. He asked us to take less, that
he was poor man. We then agreed
to publish his announcement for 49,
This amount he said he could pay
Just then a gentleman called in the
Office on business, and our attention
was directed to him, and while thus
engaged, the bull.dozed" Armstrong
sneaked out of the Office without
paying for the announcement, and
we have not seen him from that day
to this. We published his card how,
ever, knowing at tho time that the
chances were that he would never
pay for it. That is the way in which
we "bull.dozed" him.
The Radical welcomes him with
huge headlines. Buff itknew him
as well as we do, it would not give him
quite so much prominence. He does
not amount to much socially, moral
ly, politically or religiously, in the
community in which he resides.
As an Independent Democratic
candidate, We doubt if he receives Q
vote in the county, outside Of hi
own.

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger Of i'm
pairmcnt of the mind from excessive
nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists forebodings Of evil, a desire for
solitude, stunning and avoiding com.
pany, vertigo and nervous debility,
or when insanity has already taken
place, Perwnd and Manalin should be
implicitly relied on. But it is never
well to wait so long before treu tment
is commenced. The early symptoms
are loss of strength, softness Of the
muscles, dim or weak sight, peculiar
expression of the face and eyes, coat
ed tongue, with impaired digestion;
or in others, certain powers only are
lost, while they are otherwise enjoy.
ing comparatively good health. In
all these PerWna and Manalin should
at once be taken.

The present outlook for the Great
Kanawha Valley is very promising.
On Davis creek, four miles below
Charleston, a standard gauge railroad
with steel rails is being constructed
from the Great Kanawha river to the
black band iron ore and coal deposits
on the head waters of Davis creek.
This black band iron ore crops out
also on the Coal river side of this
mountain. At the mouth Of Davis
creek the same company is erecting
an iron furnace, where iron will be
made from this black band ore. Both
the Davis creek furnace and railroad
will be completed this fall, Boston
capitalists are doing this work, and
own $500 acres Of land on Davis

of his time, twenty-five minutes, to
national affairs. Mr.. Hogg followed
in a speech of one hour and a half, in
which he answered ably and truly
every point made by his distinguisi.

principles and policy of the Demo.

to engage in this sort of discussion,
nor will it do SO, unless driven to it
as q matter Of self-defenco to our

let go, however, we will not be very
choice in our language, and will
