How Japanese Babies are Welcomed.
Correspou dence of the San Francisco Chronicle:
One curious custom in vogue is the exhibit
ton of a fish on every house where boy has
has been born to the family during the year.
This showing is made during the month OF
Nav. and the fifth of that month there is a
high festival held; the relatives and friends OF
the family making it the occasion of present
ing gifts and toys suitable for boys, as we'll as
giving clothing fitting for the little chap. All
sorts of child's gear is to be seen on exhibit
ton at this time, and no boy is neglected.
The boy is the pride of the household, the
parents testifying their joy in feastlng al,
Corners who honor them by their remembran-
ces. The girl babies are not forgotten, but
they are accorded another day and separate
festival time, this being the third of the
third month-the third of March. Then.
instead of the fish floating as symbol.
the doll is to be seen in abundance, and all
the toys known to the girl world are Law
ishly displayed. There is very much Of pride
exhibited in both of these child festivals, as
the gifts presented are ostentatiously displayed
by the fond parents for the admiration of their
friends. Diminutive suits of armor, tiny swords
and bows and arrows, toy-horses, with full
suits of trappings-in fact, every imaginable
thing that goes into the makeup of the Japan-
csc warrios of the olden time are on parade on
the 9Th of May, while the sd Of March brings
forth all that is representative of the life and
fancies of the feminine gender. There are
many who are not content to wait the full
advent of the time for the display of the fish
emblem, so that during the latter part of April
it is no uncommon thing to see an immense
fish, sometimes two, so constructed that it is
filled by the breeze, floating from bamboo
pole, heralding the glory that had its Judgment
in the house in which it is exhibited.

the war was over he enrched himself
by entering into a combination Of spec.

State Of Virginia Of its railroads.
Relieved Of bis disabilities, Malone
enters the Senate oft he United States
and holds the balance between parties

waged war for four years. Yet this ex-
Confederate major general Is sceu Civ
lug his casting vote 10 the Senate
against removing the disabilities of u
young man who desires 10 enter the
army as surgeon, and wh )sc only
crime against his country was bis in-
fantile seryice''as page in the Cenfed-
crate Senate. When Tebbs, the little
page was carrying harmless messages
in tie Confederate Senate, the Rebel
major general was sending deadly miss

yet the exmajor general who sits III
the Senate, the arblter between parties
with his own offeuces pardoned, refuses
to pardon the offence Of the ex.page in
the saue cause, What will the grizzly
veterans on both sides who faced each
ether 10 battle say OF such an act? What
will decent men everywhere think Of
1t?
The conduct Of the Republicans OF
the Senate in raising such a question
was exceedingly puerle, but the vote of
Malone with them was unspeakably
mean. The Republicans had at least a
partisan motive, though an extremely
small one, in making an issue over
such case of disability as that OF a
poor page. Senator Edmunds wanted
to erect monument that there was
a right and wrong side 10 the rebel
lion, aud he bounced upon Tebbs for
the purpose; bat Malone could have
had no motive but his innate baseness
aud seryiity. Feally to his new par
ty ties required no such act Of degrada-

treacherous nature. By voting against
removing the disabilities Of the ex-page
be was enabled 10 crafty IN small
way his hatred of those whose contempt
be bad already earned. Malone in his
tortuous career has not only betrayed
his political associates but he bas
raised an issue which, If successful,
mus. cast an indellible stain of repudla-
ton on bis State and he has found
apologlsts and defenders. But for this
last act of petty meaness there can be
be no apology or excuse. The partial
ity of friendship must turn from its au-

The Happiness of Oilers.

Do all that lies IN your power to add
to the happiness of your friends 10 'day.
Even though it be bat little neglect it
not. Do not wait until next month, or
next week, nor even until tomorrow,
thinking you will be more able, for they
may not be heie then. Though it be
but flower by the wayslde, iii hath
beauty and fragrance pluck it and hand
to your fellow traYeler; for if you wait
TO do great things for him, he may haye
fallen from your side and disappeared
forever bef re you have done aughl to
gladden. his heart. Seize the pleasure
Of the transient day. says the epicure;
and il is right to bear 10 mind that the
day is transient, and to seize It's pleas
ures ere they fly; but not so much for
yourself as for your friends. Do your
acts of kindness before you sleep, be-
cause when you awaken 1t may be too
late. Nothing so assuages even the
bitterness Of parting by death as the
CONSCIOUSNESS of having left nothing
undue, little or great, that lay in our
power, to bring smile TO tho face, or
a cheeriu! feeling to the heart Of those
who have gone before Us.
But this regard for Tue happiness Of
Others does not imply that We should
always sacrifice principle as we'll as our
selves. There is right aud wrong, a
yes aud no, in everything. And this
latter Is worth mentioning, for it has
an lmportan. bearing on life. When a
man has made up his mind 10 do, or
not 10 do, thing, he should have the
pluck TO say so plainly and declsiyely.

may be said, perhaps, that the object
of these ambiguous expressions is TO
let the applicant down easy bl: theit
tendency is to give the applicant USE
less trouble and anxiety, aud possibly
prevent his seeking what he requires IN
more propltious quarter until the
golden opportunity has passed. More
over. it is questionable whether the
motives for such equiyocatlon are as
philanthropic as some suppose. Cen
orally speaking, the individual who
thus avoids a direct refusal, does so TO
save himself pain. Meu without dec.-
sion Of character have an lndescrlble
aversion to say no. They can say no
sometimes when il would BE- far better
and more creditable to tier courtesy
and benevolence to think yes; bat they
dislike to utter the bold word that
represents their thoughts. Sill it is
always better, while doing everything
we can Tor the happiness OF others,
never to lose sight OF these two little
words.

THn deed is done. Prolygamy is
doomed. President Arthur has affixed
his signature to the nnti.prolygamy
bill and it is the law Of the land. The
provisions Of the Act are. sufficiently
comprehensive and explicit and it only
remains for the government to do its
whole duty in the premises, That there
may be bloodshed is probably true,
but there must be no hesitancy, now
that the knife is provided, to apply it
to the eradication Of this cancer, this
foul sore, this vile excresence upon our
fair fame as nation. When this is
done, the people Of our generation
will have ample reason TO congratulate
themselves on having rid their believed
country of two poisonous tumors
which we're eating cut the very9ife of
the nation. In the short space of u
quarter of a century, our glorious
young republic has wiped out the twin
barbarisms Of slavery and prolygamy
