What we bare been told of Japan increases oar curiosity. We are not admitted to the arcana of the srovernment or the mstitntiont that have produced so much peace and plenty, such wealth and comfort for a whole people. There is a spir itual Emperor or chief priest, who taket no part ia governing the country, and resides ie sanctified retirement at Miaco. There is a governing Em. peror, who has his seat ia the : vast castle over topping Jeddo. To ere are three hundred and sixty petty princes or lords, each exercising sovereign rights on his own territory, and paying feudal homage to the reigning Emperor. These nobles are compelled to reside for half the year at Jeddo, and when they are allowed, in the other half, to visit their estate they leave their families as hostages. There is tome ground for supposing that they act in tome way at a governing council Wi are informed that there are parlies, as amongst ourselves one conservative, protective, and exclusive; the other progressive, eager for improvement and for intercourse with European nations. Even political crises are not unknown, and changes of ministers as with our selves. ; It is difficult to discover what their mil-litary system is, if they have aoy. The well constructed fortifications of Jeddo show some knowledge of the art of war, but none of the correspondents saw a battalion under arms. There are police, but if we can believe all that we are told, tbey can have bat little occupation. We are of- .fered a series of the most perplexing problems. We have presented to us an old country with an. nals extendiog back, at least two thousand fire! hundred years, thickly peopled without a surplus population of paupers and beggars, with a feudal aristocracy and no signs of oppression or intestinal strife, with great wealth and no poverty, with a simple, frugal, social life. Have we come np on a nation who have solved problems that have bu&ied the wisdom of Europe. Have ere found a people who enjoy all the advantages, all the material prosperity derivable from civilization with out suffering from any of the vices or diseases, moral and physical, of old societies? A Chinese Hell. A correspondent of the Baltimore American, thus describes a represeutalioq of the punishment of the wicked, after death, according to the Buddhist theology, which he witnessed in the suburbs of Canton: '. ' . v' After a walk of about mile, we came to the Temple of Horrors.' This is a horrible place that is, the scenes are hideout. The intention is to represent what a bad men would suffer after death. It is composed of tea different groups of statuary, made of clay, and many ef them are crumbling to pieces. . The first group represents the trial of the man: be It snrroanded by bis fans, ily and friends, who axe trying to defend Lira; the second, where be is condemned, and given over to the executioner; in the third, he is undergoing a semi-transformation from the man to the brute; the fourth, where he is pot Into a mill, with bis bead downwards, and is being ground ep; bis dog is by the side ot the mill,lieking np his blood. In the fifth scene, be is being placed between two boards, and is being eawed down lengthwise; sixth, he is under a large bell, which is rung ua-til the concussion kills him; seventh, the man is placed opoa a table, and two men are paddling or spanking him with large wooden paddles; eight, he is upon a rack, and the executioners are tearing bis flesh with red hot pincers; ninth, he is in a cauldron of boiling lead; the tenth scene represents him npon a gridiron, undergo. leg the process of roasting. In all of these scenes his family are present; Telso a large figure who represents the judge, executioners, little devils. and various instruments of tortarew .'

Twombly has been sinking a well on the western outskirts of our village, in the progress of which the following astounding -fact appeared : At the depth of twenty-fire feet the workmen came upon frozen ground!- Through this layer, some fifteen feet in thickness, they worked their way by dint of persevering effort, such as is always necessary in digging compactly frozen earth. At the depth of forty feet water was obtained, which nightly froze over the ice forming some three inches in thickness. Will some one account, on any known or anknowa principles of philosophy, for these attounding facts? We learn that the freezing of the water continues now that the well is ttoned np. Northern Vuiler, Brandon, ru . " . . Heat from the Start. Dr. Lard ner says : "It it a startling fact, that if the earth were dependent alone upon the tun for het, it would not get enough to make existence of animal and vegetable life npon its surface. It results-from the researches of Pooillet, that the stars furnish heat enough in the course of a year to melt a crust of ice 75 feet thick, al most as much as it supplied by the sun. This may appear strange when we consider how immeasurably small must be the amount of heat received from any one of theee distant bodies. But the surprise vanishes, when we remember that the whole firmament is so thickly sown with stars, that in some places thousands are crowded to getber within a space no greater than that occupied by the full moon.n ; - teis of Coitjgljt.

V ; - " ' Core for Saying. : ' If a lady's horse be addicted to shying, I will give her a sure and aim pie core for the same; one which I have never known to fail. Lei us, for instance, suppose the existence of a heap of stones on the near side of the road. The horse sees an indistinct grey object, and prepares to shy at it. . The moment he shows inch.-symptoms, letiiis fair rider turn both her eyes on exactly the opposile side of the road, and look steadily away from the offending heap, and 111 engage that the horse will walk quietly by. For many years I have ridden .horses of ell tempers and dispositions, some of them much given to shying, and have never yet found this simple remedy to fail in its effect. -Let those who scoff at me try it. The reason i this; The human eye has, doubtless, a great influence on all ant. mals, and there is a strong and secret sympathy between the horse and his rider. The bore sees an indistinct object, and looks doubtfully at It; his rider becomes alarmed, imagining that the animal is going to commit to me eccentricity the fear is communicated to the animal, and he starts i a Jerror. frow, jh e bjac tjif SfiSlSMi him; whereas, if ha fioda that his rider sits unmoved and on concernedly, he regains his confidence and goes on in the even tenor of his wsy. I believe that one-half ef oar horses are rained for j life by being fait over the head" by grooms, to care them of shying.

She accepted unconditionally, end they were united by Justice Qetiendanner, and started for the Mound City on the steamer Martha Putnam. : - The second day after they left port the young wife aeeaed weary of ber husband, and particularly fond of attention from any other source."

When the boat arrived at St. Louis, and the attorney was aboat to proceed np town to a hotel, he discovered that hie spouse was gone and nowhere to be found. The subsequent day, how ever, he was apprised, to hie great astonishment and sorrow, that bis wife bad deserted him for another man, and carried off 200 in gold. Subsequent developments proved that thja was only too true, and it it said she returned to this city with her paramour on the same boat.
