Special Correspondence Enqulrer-8iin. Ykdud, Japan, July 15.— The Japan Islands being long and narrow and no point from their center more than 101) miles from navigable water, cheap ocean transportation is everywhere easily availa ble. On the alluvial plains of the coast, besides the tidal rivers, there exists an ex tensive system of canals, in the interior, in former times, aside from the few rouds built by the Tycoons for war purposes, the only means ol travel were mere lootpaths. Now, two short lines of railway, in all about 100 miles, have been built, some of the footpaths have been made wideonough for carriages but even now there are, In the whole of Japan, not more than 1000 miles of earringe road. From and to the interior districts all the products and all Articles of trade are carried on the bucks of men and horses. By sea, river and canal the means of transportation uro reasonably good and cheap, bines of steamers and sailing ves sels of foreign construction have been es tablished to all the principal ports of the country. As bearing upon the question of inland transportation of the products of labor, I may here remurk, that m Japan there is but about one horse and one cow to every forty persons, while in the United States there is one horse and two head of cattle I/O every three persons. The mall transportation that has been established within the last fifteen years is cheap and excellent. Connected with the postal department is a well organized pos tal money order service and postal savings bank system. ' Although there is plenty of good build ing stone and good clay for making brick and although timber is scarce, yet the fre quency ami severity of earthquakes make file use of any but wooden structures im practicable. '1 lie houses are small and but line story high. Generally there is one main room wnlch serves as u sitting, (lin ing and sleeping room, and in addition a small nook for cooking anil another for bathing. That the use of one room for the purposes of eating, sitting and sleeping may be understood, 1 will explain that the room is covered with clean, soft, mats upon which no’ hoot or shoe ever treads. When meals are served small tables, nottmore than one foot high are used and the family sit on the floor like tailors on their benches. When the meal is finished, the table is removed and the room is ready for a sitting-room Hhc mats serving as seats. At night, cotton comforters are brought from a small clothes-press, and spread on the mats, and )o I a sleeping chamber. vhen the hoys sleep. At 8 a. ra., coming o our office, the game is on, and when at 10:30 p. m. we leave the cares of office be- nind us and seek the seclusion of onr fatni ly mansion, the cry of “foul,” and “out at lirst,” greets our ears as we cross the plaza. .Jaw ball is a fuscinu or, and no mistake. This thing of playing ball lit night sounds (range In u plnee where they have no electric lights save the aurora borealis, but here is the explanation: “There are no nights just now—a few moments of twi igbt and daylight c< mes again.

Few sights in art or nature can be more melancholy than that of the American woman who has married or seeks to marry a titled Englishman, if there be, it ( s the American mother who comes abroad and manoeuvres for a titled husband for her daughters. I would have such a mother whipped at the cart’s tail. Yet, all through English society you encounter them, the miserable Anglo-American wife, the vil lainous match-making American mother, bowing and cringing to nobility, no matter bow corrupt or vulgar it may be, and I do assure you that the basest and coarsest, specimens of humanity I ever met in de cent company have been titled men. I do not by any means intend to imply, this, '' ' ' in saying ilc iijr iiicnna iiucuu m ihijjiji , that there are not as good people among the nobility as among any other class, though, relatively, there nre fewer, because inherited rank and wealth are over given to self-indulgence and over apt to seek unfair advantage, setting laws unto themselves beyond and above the laws of God and man. At best, a foreign marriage is a dangerous adventure. The American woman was not born to be the doll of a lord, or herd with the poor wall-flowers that decorate the great houses much ns the frescoes which appear upon the ceilings thereof. She mav have been made to cook and to wash, for she may step from the kitchen to the drawing- room, and has often risen from the waan- tub to the executive mansion. Hut she is a peer and not n vassal, and always a woman, which she is not, never lias helm, and never can be in England, or, Indeed, in any land where feudalism holds its baleful, brutiu and despotic sway over the minds of men and over the institutions which men ordained. 1 would rather fol low the coilln of a daughter of mine to the grave, and see tier laid tenderly away in tlie little old churchyard at home, than to follow her down the aisle of St. George’s chapel to see her crowned with the rich est coronet in England.
