years ago, there was not a single railroad

“A reporter of the Tribune has been

condition of the farmers far exceeds the
most. sanguine predictions of the founders
of the Colony.

the women and made into shins and

1m IN THE POLAR REGIONS.
Itis impossible to form an idea. of a
tempest in the polar seas. The icebergs
are like floating rocks whirled along a.
rapid current. The huge crystal moun-
tains dash against each other, backward
and forward, bursting with a roar like
thunder, andretuming tothe charge un-
tillosing their equilibrium they tumble
over in a. cloud of spray, upheaving the
ice-fields, which fall afterward like the
crack of a whip-lash on the boiling sea.
The sea-gulls fly away screaming, and
often a black shining whale comes for an'
instant puffing to the surface. When the
midnight sun grazes the'horizon, the ‘
floating mountains and the rocks seem
immersed in a wave of beautiful purple
light. , The cold is b 0 means so insup-
portable as is support We passed from
rt. heated cabin at thirfy‘degrees above
zero to fortyoevc‘h degrees below zero in
the open air without inconvenience. A
much higher degree of cold becomes,
however, insufferable if thél-e is wind.
At fifteen degrees below zero a. steam, as
if from a boiling kettle, rises from the
wetter. At once frozen by the wind, it
'falls in a. fine powder. Thisphenomenon
is called searsmoke. At forty degrees the
snow and human bodies also smoke,
which smoke changes at one; into mil
lions of tiny particles, like needles of ice,
which fill the air and make a light con-
tinuous noise, like the rustle of astifl
silk. All this temperature the trunks of
trees burst with a. loud report, the rocks
break up and the earth opens and vomit;
smoking water. Knives break in cutting
butts. Cigars go out by contact. with
the ice on the beard. To talkis fatiguing.
At night the eyelids are covered with a
crust; of ice, which must be carefully re-
moved before one con open them.
THE JAPANESE ' IN NEW YORK.
A gentleman thoroughly conversant
with the subject said to a New York Tri~
b'u ne reporter recently:
“ About sixteen years ago the J apan-
ese Government sent out a. large number
of native young men to be trained in the
colleges and technical schools of various
countries. Of these the United States
redeived, perhaps, 250. Ten years ago
most of these students were recalled to
Japan, the Government then founding
two universities of its own. This move-
ment, and the sending out‘of Iwakum as
the minister of Japan to the United States,
naturally induced a number of Japanese
merchants to come here. But. it was
much more the great artistic success of
the Japanese exhibit at our Centennial
Exposition in 1876 that has caused the
immigration to reach its present propor-
tion. Yet, while the Chinese (with whom,
by the way, the Japanese here have noth-
ing to do) number 3000 in this city alone,
the Japanese in the whole country num-
ber only 200, of whom about. seventy-five
are students. In New York there are
about forty “an3,” of Whom perlutpl
thirty“ are merchants, importers of 111?;
silk, curios, tens, porcelains, fans etc.
The others are in San Francisco, 1-, tr.
Chicago and in Washington in the dbl...
matio service. For the most; part. titty-u
who have come have been of the ‘2‘.- .. -
classes, several dlmm' 'os—a r. 11k in Japan
corresponding to that of the Engliwh fluke
—-having been included among the stu-
dents. Last December, you may L'."‘v.~..i.l.
we were visited by Prince Al's 13mm, who
will be emperor of Japan in case the pres-
ent emperor dies without issue. it might
say that the throne of Japan has been
with one dynasty for 2500 years.‘
“What can you tell me of the ' zu-
religious and other life here i” asked the
reporter.
“Well, as you have doubtless 0115““

have no newspaper here publi-
their language, nearly all of them sf -
ing and reading English. I find that.
they are not averse to wines, cigars, etc.
They don’t seem to care so much for the
opera, theatre, etc. There is but: one
Japanese lady here. the wife of the con-
sul. They have no religious houses nor
places for religious meetings, the class of
Japanese coming here not being the idol
worshippers, but; agnostics. They live
about town, in hotels, boarding houses,
etc. Their great holidays are three—the
5th of January, in, character like New
Year’s Day; the 11th of February, culled
Coronation Day, and celebrating the as-
cent to the throne of the first emperor of
the present dynasty, and the 3d of No-
vember, the birthday of the present em-
peror. Besides these; they have several
minor holidays. "
W
. BIRD-EATEG Inca.
The following curious narrative is taken
from the Cape Times, (South Africa.) A -
lady living in the George district supplies
the following particulars of the habits of
this creature :—'—
“I have much pleasure in furnishing
all the information we have regarding the
large frogs which have proved so destruc-
tive to our young chickens. A water
sluice runs round our terrace, and passes
thrdugh the ground where the’ poultry
range, and in this the frogs harbor. The
first time our attention was drawn to
their bird-eating propensity was by the
cries of a. small bird in o. fuchsia. near the
stream. Thinking it had been seized by
a snake, several hastened to the spot, and
saw a beautiful red and green sugar bird
in t 9 month of a large greenish frog;
only the bird’s head was visible; and its
cries'becoming fainter, the frog unskilled
and the bird released. Its feathers were
all wet and slimy, and for some days we
could distinguish ii: in the garden by its
ruffled plumage. Since then the same
species of frog have on several occasions
been killed with young chickens half
swallowed, and once a. duckling; was rer-
cued from the same fate. Whether the
noise is natural to these frogs, or assumed
to decoy the chickens within their reach,
we know not; but they constantly incite
a chuckling sound so exactly like u lien
calling her chickens for food that we have
seen whole broods deceived, and rushing
toward the sluice where they suppmetl
the hen to be. _ The frogs are very wary, .
and if. is difficult to find them except by
the screams of their victims. W’s have
lost: large numbers of small chickens in
an unaccountable manner, and now feel .
sure that: these‘ frogs must be answerable
for very many of them. as there are no
rats here, and the chickens are carefully
housed at night."
UNAPPRECIATED GENIUS.
Ayoung lady up town painted a. pic-
ture of a Jersey cow, that she thought a.
wonderful work of art, and so did the
family. After the household had ad-
mired ittotheir heart’s content the fair
artist carried her sketch into the kitchen
to get the opinidfi; of Anni: Dinah.
“Law! missus," was the delighted re-
spouse, “it is boofu], I ’olti'. What is if:
