Something About Japan,
The revolution that has taken place in foreign relations with Japan, since Bnglish and
American ships began to trade at Nagasaki,
some three months ago, is traly wonderful. In
fact, I may say without much exaggeration, that
the Anglo Saxons have made about as much
ogress in Japan in three months as the Dutch
a done in as many centuries, Since the
trade was opened to otber nations, the Dutch
flag is not even predominant. The English discharge and load — sail faster, andina
neral way, wor round the Hollanders, who
ave not the same notion of the value of time.
he late rush of foreigners to Nagasaki has
completely upset the equilibrium of the small,
quiet trade that hae been done, as if by a machine, for two buodred years. As might bave
been expected, everything is overdone, and every one who tries bis hand there now is sure to
be disappointed, This, however, is sure to find
its level in time, When the Japanese get used
to low prices for importa, they will be able to
take off increased quantities, and when the demand for their exports has its legitimate effect,
“2 will increase the production,
he Government of Japan is a phenomenon.
It is the most absolute despotiem in the world,
and perfectly successful. The people areas
submissive as lambs, They never seem to
dream of arent the will of their superiors.
The Governmett is carried on by ewarms of officers, who seem to be ubiquitous, acting as
spies on the people and on each other, These
officials are each in bis turn the abject slaves
of their immediate superiors up to the Emperor
himself, They dare not accept the smallest
present without permission, A merchant dare
not buy or sell any goods without a general
permit, or else a special sanction for each transaction, In this way you will readily perceive
that, besides the regular Government monopolies, any article of merchandise is liable to become a Government monopoly at any moment
by asimple order. And yet wiih all this-what we call slavery—the people seem to feel
no hardship. Their bondage sits lightly on
their shoulders. They seem happy, comfortable and well to do. No signs of meanness, poverty or shabbiness, The streets and houses are
clean toaproverb, The people take great
pride in cleanliness. The floors of their houses
are carpeted with fine clean white matting of
native manufacture, so clean that they put off
their shoes before entering a room, Foreign
visitors, by the by, are expected to do the same;
but Joba Bull is much too bumptious to humor
the natives in that way. As to their personal
cleanliness, that is ere boyond doubt by tho
institution of public baths, wherein you may
see the whole population every afternoon washing by turns.
‘or the present the despotism is consistent
with great prosperity and contentment on the
part of the people, but it seems to me that it is
ouly exclusive policy that has kept itso, The
people have no knowledge of liberty, and consequently they do not know that they are enslaved, If they have an influx of noisy, bustling Europeans among theic population, they
may by and by find out their true position and
try and alter it, The people are very polite to
strangers. They do not even stop ana stare at
you in the streets,as Chinese do, but salute
you clvilly, and pass on. Their language is
sweet and musica), and easily learned. The
Japanese are lively, intelligent, liberal minded,
and anxious to improve on their knowledge,
In these respects they contrast strongly with
the stupid, arrogant, conceited Chinese, In
fact, the four or five days’ sail from China to
Japan places you inan entirely different world.
In their dress they are neat, but not gaudy ;
they choose the chastest and quietest colors,
There are no rags of rottenness to be seen in
the streets, No filthy, diseased beggars infest
the thoroughfares, No foul stench poisons
God’s sweet atmosphere. In all these respects,
oh, how different from China, Tudeed it seems
impossible that the inhabitants of a country ou
which nature has bestowed her gifts so lavishly
could mar its beauty by filth in their persons
or abodes. When I said there was no appearance of poverty in Nagasaki, I should have
mentioned at the same time that there are beggars, but they are clean and well dressed, and
evidently a privileged clase, Three of them
parade a street ata time, with cane hats op,
which conceal their features,
One walks slowly down the middleof the
street, tinkling a sinall bell, while his two companions take each one side of the street and receive their contributions from each house, in
the shape of a hundful of rice, This donation
is given as a matter of course, and thus the collection from one sireet, occupying an hour or
two of time, is sufficient for the daily wants of
the recipients, and leaves something for a rainy
eo Of Japanese morality Iam not yet competent to speak intelligibly. I cannot make up
my miud whether they are very immoral people or not. There is no false delicacy about
either maids or matronsin Japan, I may say
there is very little delicacy at all, The women
are all carefully educated in this country, and
Consequently occupy a high — in social
life. Thisis generally considered a mark of
high civilization in other countries, and, I take
it, the same interpretation must be put upon it
here. In China, women are entirely ignored
in social life. No women above the -lowest
class are to be seen there. Wives and daugh‘ters of well-to-do people are kept from them,
Japanese women, on the contrary, can all read
and write; they take an interest in their busband’s affairs, and manage his business in his
absence; whiletheir accomplishments render
their society all that a man can wish in his
hours of idleness,— Letter from Japan. Norweatan Mosxtros.—I believe there is no
preventive against their bite, which is instantaneous; they dash through the smoke of strong
tobacco like a fox hound through a bullfinch;
they ereep under vail or gloves like a ferret
into a rabbit hole; where they can neither dash
nor creep they “bide their own time’’ with the
pertinacious cunning of a red Sndian, Wherever
the clothes touched the body closely, at the
knees and elbows, they swarm in thousands,
and bite through and through; they crept in
single file up the seams of gloves, and tried
each stitch in succession. I have seen J’s, coat
and hat so covered as he walked in front, that
I could at any time kill the shape of my hand
in moskitos at a blow; and I have seen the unhappy horses so overlaid from ears to tail with
a clustering mass of wings, that, with the point
of my finger, I could not but immolate two or
three of the blood-thirsty littledemuns. There
is one puzzling question I cannot solve with
satisfaction. What do they live on when they
don’t meet travelers?—Letler from Norway.
Among the crown diamonds in the Treasury
of the Ozars of Moscow, are two of remarkable
value. One the size of a pigeon’s egg, and is
called the “Orloff.” The otber is in the form
of an irregular This is named the
‘Shah,”’ and it is of the breadth and almost the
len gth of the little Po th It formerly belonged to the Sorphis, and was one of two enormous diamonds whieh ornamented the throne
of Nadir Shah, and which were ealled the “Sun
of the Sea” and the “Moon of the Mountain,”
Here is the story :
When Nadir was assassinated his treasures
were pillaged, and his precious stones divided
among a few soldiers, who carefully concealed
them. An Armenian named Shafras, resided
at that period at Bussora, with his two brothers. One day an Affghan came to him, and of
fered for sale the large diamond, “The moon
of the Mountain,”’ as well as an emerald,a ruby of fabulous size, « sapphire of the finest water, called by the Persians the “Eye of Allah,”
and a number of other stones, for the whole of
whieh he asked such a moderate sum that Sbafras suspected that they bad not been bonestly
come by, told him to call again, as he had no
money in the house. The Affghan fearing that
Shafras was going to act with treachery towards him, left the place, and could not again
be found, although the three brothers made every search for him.
Some years afterwards the eldest brother
met the man at Bagdad, who toldbim that he
had just sold all bis precious stones for 65,000
piastres and a pair of valuable horses, Shafrag had the residence of the purchaser, who was
a Jew, pointed out to him, and he went to him
and offered bim double the price he had given
for them, but was refused,
The three brothers then agreed to murder the
Jew and rob him of his purchase, which they
did, and on the following day poisoned the Aflgban, and threw both the bodies into the river.
A dispute soon arose between the brothers as
to the division of the spoil, which termiuated in
Shafras getting rid of his two brothers by poison, after which he fled to Constantinople, and
thence to Holland, where he made kuown the
Tiches he possessed, and offered them for sale
to the different Courts of Europe, Catharine
II. proposed to buy the Moon of the Mountains
only.
Shafras was requested to come to Russia, and
he was introduced to the Gourt jeweller. The
terms demanded by Sbafras were letters of nobility, a life annuity of 10,000 roubles, and
600,000 roubles payable by equal instalments in
ten years, Count Banin who was then minister
delayed the settlement of the bargain as long
as possible, and in the meantime had the Armenian led into such extravagances that he fell into debt and when the minister found that he had
no means of paying what he owed he abruptly
broke off the negotiation, Shafras according
to the laws of the country could not leave until his debtor should be paid, and the court jeweller prepared to take advantage of his embarrassments, and intended that the diamoud
should fall into his hands for its value. Shafras however discovered the trap that had been
laid for him, and disposing of some of the less
valuable stones among his countrymen, paid
his debts, and disappeared, Agents were sent
after him who bad orders to aseassinate and rob
him, but he escaped them.
Ten years after, while he was at Astrachan
renewed offers were made to him, but he refused to enter into avy negotiations unless the
bargain should be settled at Smyrna, Catherine aceepted, and became the possessor of the
diamond for letters of nobility, 600,000 roubles
and 160,000 paper roubles, making together
about two and a balf millions of francs, Shafras, not being able to return to his courttyy,
where he would bave had to aecount for two
homicides and two fratricides, fixed himself at
Astrachan, where be married a country woman
of his, and had seven daughters. One of hig
son-in-lawa poisoned him for the sake of possessing his share of property. Tho immonse
fortune which the murderer had acquired (from
ten to twelve millions) wae divided, and soon
spent by his successors, and several of the
grand-children of Shafras are now living at Astrachan in abject misery.

J. 6. BRIGG Ss’
PATENT AMALGAMATING RIFFLES.
Patent Issued March Ist, 1959.
The invention consists of forcing Quicksilver into blocks
of wood, which are used as false bottoms forsluices, there
out. As the blocks are gradually worn by the gravel, a
fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly exposed, ready to }
amalgamate the gold that comes in contact with them,
The machines for forcing Quicksilver into the blocks, are
of simple construction, aud durable, One man can press
n one hundred pounds of Quicksilver ina day, which will .
give a hundred feet of Quicksilver surfuce, ond the process
is easily learned.
The shop cost of the machines, are from $14 to 920,
according to the size,
The following letters from practial Miners at Michigan
Bluffs, Placer County, where the PATENT RIFFLES were
first introduced, will show the estimation in which they
are held by those who have ased them :—
MicwiGAN Biucrrs, March 28th 1859,
Mr. Briggs, Sir :—I1 have used your Patent Quicksilver
Block Riffles, and ennsider them the best method for saying fine gold I have ever used, T used them on the American River this last summer, and found that by using
them, I could save at least one-fourth more gold, than“py
any other Rifles now in use, Hoping that your Riffles
will be extensively introduced throughout the State, and
meet with the success they deserve, I remain vours truly,
GEORGE E, BENNET.”
MieiGan Buvrrs, April 10th 1859,
Mr. Briggs, Sir >I have used your Patent Amalgama
ting Rifle, and am satisfied that it is a good invention ;
we have cleaned up more, and finer gold, than we ever did
before in the same length of time, There has not been as
much wash running in the gulch as there will be by and
by, a8 the boys have not all commenced washing pay dirt
yet. Yours truly, CHAS. W. COOK.
