A MODERN UTOPIA.
THE CHARM OF THE JAPANESE
ISLANDS.

-no distinction which .lapau enjoys
is, that while other countries have lovely
spots she is everywhere enchanting. The
whole length of the island chain, 1,200
miles in extent, hardly presents a spot
that would not be a subject for a land
scape painter. The great central moun
tain range, with the overtowering cone-
shapod Fujimiia, rises almost out ol tho
ocean below to bo lost in view in the
clouds above. Long transverse spurs of
hit's run out into the sea. Deep, warm,
rich valleys have boon everywhere cut
through tho mountains and hills, ami
bordering tho ocean fertile plnins have
been formed from the weatherings and
washings of tho groat mountain ma«scs.
Covoring those plains, vnllays, hillsides
and mountains is a verdure that riots in
luxuriance. Clour streams, from their
elevated sources, dash through narrow
gorges, pour in gleaming entaracts down
precipitous mountain sides and whirl
in crystal eddies at tho feet of over
branching forest trees. Tt is n climatic
/.one where the flora of tho cold north
nnd that of tli# heated south meet and
intermingle. Tho pine and pnlm, tho
maple and magnolia, the beech and bam
boo, and tho oak and the orange inter
lace their branches in tho snme grove.
\round all tho land nrn the waters of
tho groit. ocean, fro n which soft winds
temper tho heat of an almost tropic sun.
l iving in such scenes of enchantment
tho-c people biv as light of heart and
sunny in disposition as children, nnd so
polite and plcnsuro loving as to excite
the admiration of even tlioir French nnd
freely and forlinglv as do those of higher
stations. While tlic vocabulary of com
pliments nnd blessings is a long one,
there arc no words for n curse in their
wholo language. There mnv bo bate,
jenlousy and envy, but they find no ver
bal expression. It is n constant delight
to hear only pleasant words nnd good
wishes.
The relations of masters and servants
are ns admirable ns possible. They nro
mutual and confidential. While the ser
vant studies tho interest of tho master,
tho latter makes the welfaro of tho ser
vant and his family his duty. The ser
vant is made to feel that ho is a factor of
some importance in his employer's busi
ness bv being consulted upon many mat
ters of importance. Tho muster h polite
and kind nnd tlie servant dofcrcntinland
respectful on all occasions. Tho relation
of parents and children shows tho same
refining intlucnccs. There is no assump
tion of the authority of the drillmastor.no
exaction of blind obedience, no ruling by
fear on tho pnrt of the parent. Obedience
is induced by patient tenching day after
dny. The child is lovingly taught why ho
should do certain things, nnd why lie
sould not do certain other things. Tho
bond between parents nnd children is
ono of renson nnd regard, and the result
is tlint the child makes his duty to tho
parent the foremost object of his life,

How tho Presidents Looked.
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Vat,
Huron, Harrison, Tyler, Folk, Taylor,
Fillmore, Fierce, Buchanan and Johnson
wore no boards. Lincoln was the first
Prcsidont who had whiskers, (iriint,
(Ini field and Hayes had full chin
wliiskers. Arthur wore lnonsta lie and
side wliiskers nnd Cleveland wore the
moustache, but no wliiskers.
Washington was a manly man, majestio
in proportions, and of dignified bearing.
Ho was of tho blonde type.
JelTcrson was tall and elegant looking,
with sandy liair und fair complexion.
His granddaughter, Mrs. Randolph
Mciklehnm, is wonderfully like him in
appearance.
Mndison was small and plain, lie
looked like a well-to-do farmer. Mrs.
Madison had a majestic and queenly air,
and ho appeared to disadvantage, phys
ically, in her company. Before she
married him she alluded to him to her
friends as tho “little great Madison."
Monroo was a good looking man in
his uniform. lie liked to wear the,
cocked hat ol the revolution, and hold
to it so long that ho went by tho sobri
quet of “the last cocked hat.”
Doth John Adams and his son, John
Quincy,* were stout, and the bou wnt
thick sot and short
quite bald.
Jackson was gaunt thin, and plain,
liis eyes were his host feature
\ an Huron was an insignificant look
ing littlo innn, tho least handsome of tho
Presidents.
Harrison was a lino-looking, soldierly
man, even in old ngc, of noble features
and genuine dignity.
Tyler was thin and tall, and his nose
was remarkable for si/e nnd plainness.
Folk was small and unattractive in per
son nnd manners. Taylor was a largo
man of rough oxterior, but a pleasant,
not clover!
Thoy nro constantly oxcrcisingcleverness
of tho finest sort.
“You seo a demure-looking woman,
faithful in house bills nnd shirt buttons,
obedient to her lord and anxious to plea-e
him in all things; silent on politics or

with a smile of humanity: ‘Oh, women
nro not judges upon such matters; wo
leave lonruing to men.’ ‘Yes,’ says
Jones, ‘attend to tho house, my dear, nnd
leave tho rest to us.’ Benighted idiot!

Tho Man Milliner’s Reign.
Everywhere uptown cloth jacketsthnt
fit like jerseys nnd ulsters that mo mold
ed to tho graceful, rounding figures of
the ladies, ns men can scarcely hope or
wish their overcoats to be, inclose tho
jieisonsof all well-dressed women. It
is impossible for any man (except a
woman’s tailor) to udge whether tho
new fashion is or is not a good ono.

What brought about this revolution?

Tho latter was | uro popular, and tlion tho do.nand for an
equally tight-fitting overgarment to keep
up the nccurntc exposure of outline when
tho weather called for something out-
sido and oil top of tho jersey. Tho
men’s tailors wero called upon to con
struct those feminine ‘‘ulsters,’’ as
they were called. These tailors got ex
tra prices for this new work and liked
it (that is, the extra prices) so well that
they enlarged their signs to attract more
a dies. This encroached on the field of
he men dressmakers, who then hired
oilors nnd also nltercd tluir signs.

Lincoln, though tall, gaunt and
homely, nevertheless hud a pleasing face
when engaged in conversation. Johnson
was ono of the old timo Presidents in tho
matter of personal appearance He in
variably wore black broadcloth, and was
scrupulously neat in dress. lie was
heavy built, but not stout, somewhat
under six feet, and had ahead of beauti

Grant had light sandy whiskers and durk
hair, and wasof medium size and weight.
He was the youngest of the Presidents.
Hayes and (lartield looked alike— both
large and tall, of florid complexions and ; racquet, with ball, are popular.
original men’s tailors went on from milk
ing ulsters to making dresses, and i he
men dressmakers became the makers of
tailor-made gaiments of all sorts. It is
interesting to visit one of those Indies’
tailor shops, as I did yosterday. Here
were trousers by the score hung in a line
on hooks, like beeves before a butcher's
stall, and across the room were great glass
cases filled with ladies jackets and skirt-,
bla/ing with embroidery in gold, with
gaudy libbons nnd with buttons big as
butter dishds. A young man with his
coat oil and one arm out stiff, like a
mailbag catcher on a postal car, was be

a bevy of circling Indies, one of whom

Ashantee, a now kingdom on tho Hold
Const, has given tho British no littlo
trouble, nnd may give them a good deal
more. It is mountainous, well watered
and healthful, except in tho lowor dis
tricts, nnd has a population of about
1,.'>00,000, one-fifth of whom nro war
riors, The beginning of tho kingdom is
obscure; hut traditions say tlint it was
occupied several centuries ago by immi
grants trom a region north of tho King
.Mountains, caused, probably, by tho
spr ad of tho Mohammedan Empire to
Timbuctoo. Tho first known of it in
Luropo was in 1J00, when Coomassio
was made the capital by Osai Tootoo I.,
who, having overcome various separate
states, was established us a kind of
feudal prince over a largo district. In
tlioir course of conquest over the Fantoes .
tin: Aslinntoea followed them even to thn
large seaport towns, and butchered tin m
by thousands. Tho British sided with
tho weaker party, when tho savage foo
attacked tho foit of Anamboe, nnd
would hnvo slaughtered tho garrison
had not tho British Governor displayed
a ting of truco. Hostilities lasted,
with some interruptions, from 180! to
1*20 when tho Ashantces were finnlly
driven fr. m the sea coast, Some four
teen years ago the British were involved
in another war with their old enemy.
Thou an army under Sir Garnet Wolselcy
penetrated to tho heart of tho Kingdom,
burned Coomassio nnd returned safely to
tho coast. Notwithstanding their ro
ve scs and losses, tho Ashantces are still
belligerent and powerful, nnd en joy as
much prosperity as any negro nation in
western Africa. They arc very barbar
ous and bloodthirsty; but their abund
ant gold, extent of territory nnd‘success
ful campaigns havo yielded them pres
tige and prominence. Thoy have no
military knowledge, but depend upon
their savage bravery and overwhelming
numbers, including many slaves, which
the chiefs can put in tho field. Tho
King is commundor-in-cliief, nnd often
leads his host in person. As an instance
of tlioir desperate courage, many of them,
after dofeat by tho British, were so mor- j
tilied and so fearful of degradation that
they coolly sat down on kegs of gun
powder nnd blow themselves into the air, ;
in presence of tho liostilo camp. Thu
government of thoso negroes is an abso
lute despotism, tho King exercising com
plete control over the lives and property
of his subjects. Ho lias spies every
where, nnd tho slightest act or word of
disaffection is at once reported, nnd the
rebel is put to death. He is tho great
property owner; ho levies a tax of twenty
per cent, on ail manufactured gold and
all gold taken from the mines, so that he
is tho richest individual in Africh.
Slhvery prevails extensively, the chiefs
often holding 1,000 slaves eti h; these
beings are for tho most part pagan ne-
, groes, captured in war by Mohamme
dans, brought from the interior and sold
into bondage. Polygamy is n favorite
institution, a man's importance being
rated by tho number of his wives. Tho
King is limited, poor fellow, to
who occupy two entire streets and are
rigorously secluded from or cry body save
tho sovereign and his feminine relatives.
T i look on one of them, even acciden
tally, is a capital offence. Adultery is
punished by a line, and retaliation of
any violent kind on the part of the hus
band is thought menu and degrading.
The Ashantces seem to delight in shed
ding blood, and human sncrifico is a
pa>t of tlioir religious ceremony. — Com

“The 'Willards" in Washington are
three Vermont brothers, Joseph, Henry
nnd -Caleb, named in tho order of
their ages. The latter is tho pro
prietor of tho Ebbitt, worth one or two
millions. Henry owns much property
in bonds. With Joseph, tho elder, ho
is joint owner of tho Willard Hotel,
which thoy kept for many years. Ilia es
tate is away up in tho millions nnd
growing. Joseph is tho richer, as well
ns tho elder of tho three, nnd is said to
spend much of his time cutting coupons
from bonds. IIo is in no active business,
lie is a widower nnd ono son is the only
heir lie lives tiie lifo of n recluse. If
ho is not a good lovor he is a good hater,
lie lias little to do with mankind in
general, albeit he has tho appearance of
a mild-mannered, benevolent-minded
gentleman of (15 years. He nnd Caleb
liiive not spoken for years. Joseph does
the hating and Caleb the grinning and

property on F street, beginning with the
Ebbitt. Only ono strip of twelve feet
interrupts his continuous ownership from
Thirteenth to Fourteenth street. It is
next to tho Ebbitt. This strip Joseph
owns. Caleb lias tried every means to
liny it. Joseph holds it solely to spite
his brother. It is occupied by a tenunt-

sell if ho could got his price. Then his
visitor asked the terms. Looking up
and catching tiie business man's eye he
said: “.My price is $500,1100. You go
onck to U. C. Willard, who Bent you
here, and tell him that." It is said that
Joseph lias so fixed it in his will that
tho property can never fall into Caleb’s
hands or tho hands of his heirs. That
ho is insane is not suspected, lie loves
his mother, nnd makes a daily visit to
her in tho house of the brother ho bo
hates. Ho and Henry though not alien

nothing tho matter between Henry nnd
Caleb. Tho singularity spoken of is lodg

his fellow.-, nnd only a few persons havo

looking of tho two.
General Arthur is iho only President
who wore side whiskers. He was a well
whole day in tliese flowery avenues. The preserved man of elegant appearance. In
chrysanthemum gardens, to be found in
all towns nnd villages, am points of
great attraction. In these are to be seen
every variety of that (lower, every shade
of color, and almost every size of bios
tom.
The summer sees streams of people,
the poor as well as the rich going to
gaze at Fujiama, the pearl of mountains.
No person is so poor and no distance so
great but several pilgrimages are made
in a lifetime to the venerated mountain
In tho autumn, when the golden rice and
wheat, aud the brown millet have been
gathered, the harvest festival is held
in every pnrt of tho country. There
in the groves, on soft green carpets
ipreud by nature, under the full harvest
moon, they make merry, night after
night, with song and dance. At those
harvest festivals all clss ex from prince
to pcasnnt, rejoice together over the
ample winter’s store. It is not only
in this intense worship of naturo
that tiie beauty of their country lias
molded and influenced their natural
character. It is seen in their domestic
intercourse. In all the conventionalities
of polite life they are far in advance of
any people in the Occident 'I bis refined
politeness pervades every grade of so
ciety. It is just as noticeable among the
lower as iu the higher classes. To be
i mb- iu word or act is to become a social
outcast. The poorest workers, when
they meet, greet each other us politely,
ttnd pass the compliments of the day u

predecessors.
President Cleveland is tho first of tho
Presidents who hits worn a moustache

An Eloplinut in a Parade Ground.
A menagerie was recently moving
slowly along the road near Portsmouth,
England, when the largest elephant of
the caravan, who is known as Madam
Jumbo, escaped from her keeper, and
charged upon a military barrack that
stood by the road, bite seized with her
trunk the sentinel who stood at tho gate,
and threw him at full leneth on tho
ground, without hurting him in the
least, and then triumphantly entered the
parade-ground within the barracks at a
grand trot. Tho tiOO soldiers who wore
drilling in the enclosure were so much
astonished and alarmed at tho appear
ance of so strange an enemy, that they
broke ranks and took flight in every di
rection. The elephant proceeded to at
tack a tank filled with water, part of
which she drank, and upset the rest.
Then she charged upon a bin filled with
potatoes for the soldiers, and ate up tiie
potatoes Having satisfied her hunger
and thirst, und put a batalion of soldiers
to route, Madam Jumbo allowed herself
to be captured, and contentedly resumed
her place in the caravan, to the great re
lief of the soldier*,
In frocks, basques nnd mantles tlio

For gonernl wear this season cheviot,
tweed and canvas goods take the lead.
Among the fashionable combinations

For elderly ladies urav watered silk
is combined with black cashmere in

Jet bonds, it is said, will give way to
balls of feathers as a finish for hat
brims.
The tape Htripe among the new woolens
looks as if it had been sowed on the
fabric.
English gowns are plaited and plain,
and French frocks are gathered and
puffed.
Fall hats have crowns of cloth, velvet
and satin, and have a seam directly in
the back.
Tiny shells of mother-of-pearl are scat
tered over a handsome fichu of tulle and
old point lace.
Bright red will in a great measure bo
supplanted by bright yellow in brighten

Palo pink veils arc worn with every

For the last two weeks, u lot of sharp,
good-looking Indians have been lounging
about the town. They own race horses,
good clothes and tlio showiest of blank
ets ami carry plenty of silver. Old s-t-
tlcra know Hum well. They are tlio
gamblers of the Moses tribe, and yearly
make their pilgrimages to this point at
tiie time when tho 1 nkiina and Klickitat
Indians are well provided with money,
earned by laboring in tiie hop fields.
They are expert card players-—up to all
the tricks 'und uro not nfinid to try
their skill and nerve with the sportive
frontiersmen to the north, with whom
they frequently havo long sieges of
“draw,” aud oftentimes to their material
profit. To tlu-so experienced gamblers
the local siwaslics are as children, and
j lose their earnings and ponies in a
i prodigal manner. This season is just a
1 repetition of tho last and many previous
ones, and Moses's men will go home well
fattened with wealth, while tho homo In- 1
dinn and money-earner will pass a lean
and hungry winter.— Yakima (Arizona) '

A l’re,tty Experiment.
With so simple an article as a red cub- i
bage, a very old but pretty little chemi
cal expeiimeut may bo made by tho ;
young people, with the result of amus
ing and astonishing those around them, i
The elfe: ts may bo strikingly shown in
this manner: Gut three leaves of the
cabbage into small pieces, aud after
placing them in a basin pour a pint of
boiling water over them, letting them j
stand an hour; then pour off the liquid
into a decanter. It will be of a fine blue j
color. Then tike four wine glas-es—
into one put six drops of strong vinegar; !
into another six drops of solution of !
soda; into a third the same quantity of
strong solution of alum; and let the j
fourth glass remain empty. Fill up the
glasse-- from t io decanter, and thediquid
poured into the glass containing the acid
will quickly change to a beautiful red;
that poured with the soda will be a fine
green, and that poured into the empty
glass will remain unchanged.
