Grave doubts are entertained by his physi-

The New York correspondent OF The
Utica Herald writes. One finds out
that nothing is accomplished here un-
less by close application Of the highest
powers. All our great mea work hard.
Here is Moses Taylor, for instance, the
veteran bank president. Heis seventy
five and yet works as hard as his powers
will admit. Up to within few years
he was as industrious as any of his
clerks, but close application has i'm
paired his health and he now has to
abate. He has been O worker for sixty
years, and is as eager to make a dollar
AS ever. He began as a clerk in the
great shipping house of Rowland & AS
pinwall, and afterward opened business
on his own account. His success has
been uniform and rapid, as some would
think, though probably hardly satisfac-
tory to himself, since he has only made
Lalf dozen millions, while others
have done much better. Still he is
plodding on in the path to wealth, and
is the oldest business man in Wall
street. he he's been for thirty years
president of the City bank, and his
ability is shown by the fact that its
shares are now worth 24O. The house
which he founded is conducted by his
sons-in. law, Percy Pyne and Lawrence
Turnure, who were formerly his clerks,
and are frst.class business men. Such
are among the instances Of success
which occasionally mark commercial
record and which show that hard work
as we'll as genius is requisite. New
York is a place not of luck but of labor,
and that too of the most srduous char.
acter. In the battle for wealth it re-
quires rare concentration of genius and
physical strength, and the weaker are
soon crushed.

$5,000,000. The Star adds The real
estate of Cr@sus, the Lydian king, the
richest man of antiquity, was worth
$8,500,000, about two-thirds the value
of Vsnderbilt's and his house cost
$400, 600. while that of Vanderbilt will
cost $4,000, 900. The value of the late
w. B. Astor's real estate alone was
worth more at the time of his death
than that of any uncrowned head in

The principal productions are rice, tea

The Japanese produce mild distilled
liquor from rice which they call sake.
Everybody drinks this sake with their
daily rice, and socially when they meet
fOf pleasure.
It is, however, a very rare sight to
see native intoxicated. When he has
taken too much he is never quarrel
some, but very merry and simple, and
only wishes to get home, where he can
sleep of the effects. It is considered a
sign of great weakness to get thus af-
fected. Opium is never used by the
Japanese, The authorities having always
taken great care to prevent its imports-
tion and use. A Japanese house has no
chairs, beds or tables. Ones boots or
wooden clogs are removed at the door
and water brought FOR washing the feet
before entering upon the soft, thick
straw mats, which serve alike for floor,
table, beds and seats. When friends
meet they never shake hands, but bow,
if in a room, to the floor several times,
or if in the street, they bow very low
several times before passing, each time
repeating some formal salutations.
Many of their expressions are very
beautiful, and show the extreme and
delicate politeness of the people; for
example, when they part the expression
is "Sayonara," which means. If it
