AROUND THE WORLD.
A DAY IN YOKOHAMA.
Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.

Written for FISHERMAN 6 FARMER.
AT I:15 P. M, Oct. nth, 1883, we
dropped anchor off Yokohama, Japan
and were soon surrounded by
Japanese, in their small boats ca led
Sanpans, all clammering to get
aboard with something to sell, and
The decks were soon strewed with
curiosities of every description. We
did not pay much attention to them
as we were very anxious to set foot
on terra herma again after such a
long passage, SO jumping into SAN
pan we started for the shore. The
Japanese propel their boats through
the water by sculling, making hiss
ing noise with the mouth while at
work. We hardly had time to
notice the numerous vessels of all
nations laying in the harbor before
the bows of our sanpan grated on
the stone steps of the mole, ascending
the steps we were surrounded by
Japanese exclaiming in highest eng
lish, "Makee lidemaster, me number
one man" We were conducted to
long row Of light buggys and were
tod to jump in one of them. These
buggys are called Jinrickisha's; they
are very light; only large enough for
one man. They resemble dog cart
with cover. Our horse was jar
anee who got between the shafts and
we were soon rattling along the
streets of Yokoh INA in this novel
vehicle; as much of a Curiosity to
these people as they were to US
Our "Rickisha" mar, who could
speak a little English, informed US
that his name was Sada, AS Sada
carried us along at an easy dog trot
we had a chance to view our sur
roundini;s 1t is very amusing to
watch these queer people; thier COS
tunes are quaint and picturesque.
The costumes Of the women look
like square pieces of silk thrown
across the shoulders and confined at
the waste by a wide silk sash.
They wear no hats; the paper par
asol of Japan takes the place of the
hat. These parasols are very dur
able, standing the heaviest rains
without injury. Thier shoes resem-
Bile sandals with little blocks of wood
at the heel and toe about three inches
high. 1t is very amusing to see
them walking on these high shoes.
The costumes of the men consist of
tight fitting pants and long coat
like dressing gown, reaching to the
knees with belt around the Waste.
At last We stopped in front of large
house, which Sada told us was a tea
house. On entering we saw num-
Der of Japanese sitting on mats
tea who, arising and bowng
profoundly, invited us to join them.

Good night, dear heart, so far from

Good night, fair face, for which pine;
Over thy life forever shine

How far thou 'rt from thine accustom d
place
Upon my heart.
Though miles and miles do intervene,
Thine eyes, dear love. and mine are

From the birth of day till its closing
I watch for thee.
Good night, sweet lips and tender
