The sloop-of-war Saratoga, which arrived at Boston last week, gives through one of its of ficers, some interesting facts respecting the Japaue.se. The Saratoga, was at Jcddo for a considerable time. "! The Japanese at Dixxer It was exceed- j ingly -difficult to obtain any kind of meat in f the country, although the Japanese wefe" verr willing to partake of the meats-that were offer ed on board the ship.. The most solid part of their 'food, consisted of. scrimps or craw fish, aud a "dish the Americans supposed to be a species ' of gnake, biitpVh-ieli was probably a kind of fish. They lia custom at the table which" shows that' Aake. thouyrht for the . . f leliberatel v nroceerl which they nre especially fond, and for this purpose provide themselves with paper wrap pers previous to dining. At a dinner given by the officers of the ship one day, a chief care fully enveloped a whole chicken iu a number of papers, and carried it off, first offering papers to others for similar use. Their mode of cook ing is doubtless more pleasing to themselves than to our people, for they arc not over nice in preparing their food. Japanese Duels. Their mode of settling affairs of honor is very singular and worthy of the attention of gentlemen who have occasion to adjust such matters If one gentlman insults another to such a degree that the affront should be,settled by death, the insulted party disembowels himself with a sharp knife, which he always carries; and now comes the "satis faction;" the insulting party or person who has given the affront, must imitate the example of his opponent, with the alternative of being regarded a consummate coward, whom the friend of the former may kill at the first oppor tunity, as he would a dog. Fistols and Locomotives. They did not know the nse of the locomotive, and at first seemed to regard the model as a toy; but the engine was soon put in motion and rapid speed attained. They were delighted with the boats, Colt's repeaters, carbines, telegraph, &c, but they did not regard the agricultural implements very favorably. Strength of the Japanese. The working class of people are very stout and athletic; one ot tnern can take a hag ot rice wnicn a stronsr American cannot nit, ana tnrow il on nis shoulder with perfect ease. They inure them selves to hardships and were sometimes seen by our informaut almost naked, although the weather was very cold. a j 1-1 . Deepest Artesian Welt, ixthe would.

This well was commenced about six years ago by Mr Belcher, his object being to secure for the purposes of his large Refinery a supply of pure water. For six months the operations were continued by hand, and reached a depth of some two hundred feet below the surface, when it was found necessary to employ the agency of steam with suitable machinery. Since the application of steam the work has progressed steadily and perseveringly until the present time, when the incredible depth of twenty-two hundred feet has been reached. This is said to be the deepest artesian well in the world. One of the most important that we now remember of, is that of Greneller near Paris, in which operations were continued for eighty years, and which was sunk to a depth of nineteen hundred and sixty-one feet below the ground. And we believe there is another somewhere in France which numbers about twenty-one hundred aud fifty feet; but none have yet reached the distance into the bowels of the eartli that this cf Mr Belcher's has. S7. Louis Democrat. T'jc Model Husband. Beware, young ladies, whom you choose; Be cautious, too, whom you refuse; All is notpold that glitters bright, Nor are all gems that shine with light. Choose not a book for leaves legUt, Nor yet a blade for burnished hill; Fnll many a gem of purest ray, All dust bcgriinmed, is hid away. Full many a flower of radiant bloom Is kept from sight by iceedy gloom Thus 'tis with man, too oft is seen A noble's heart 'neath rustics green. And many heart of blackest dye Is veiled beneath a coiirtie.r's eye Too oft the good are hid in shade, While palace lights, illume the bad. Trust not to him who humbly kneels, And on your hand his fealty seals Who swears "vour eves are brighter far Than Heaven's most brilliant, beaming star Your hair more dark than raven's wing. Your breath the sweetest gale of spring, Your cheek the rose's blushing glow, Your forehead white as Alpine snow." Be wedded! Then he swears your ej-es Are always drenched like April skies; Your cheeks are pale, and all yonr-face Is quite bereft of former grace. You need not say, "'twas late at night, Watching beneath the moon's cold light, For htm, that made your eyes so weak, And chased the roses from your cheek." No! choose a man sincere and kind, Whom fortune's favors cannot bind Who pledges vows with honest tongne, And leaves your beauties all unsung; A man whose heart is brave and strong, Who loves the right, eschews the wrong Whom worldly honors cannot taiut No siuuer, nor pretended saint. - Then when your youth and beanty's gone, And age, with trembling steps, comes on, His love and truth, undimm'd and bright, Shall doubly bless life's winter night; Whose virtue, like the fUer perfume, Shall last when faded is the bloom And you shall bless the day you choose The fragrance, rather than the rose. - NANNIE GREY. Japan The Successful Barrister ' . According to the Tari correspondent of tlio Atlas,- a young Englishman barrister has suc ceeded iu-marrying MffdfJle.-R- -, the wealth iest heiress in Paris, and connected with one of the highest families. The voung lady was known to possess an undisguised weakness for a well-dressed man, and by loudly expressing" this opinion, had been of more service to the tailors of Paris within the last year than Count d'Orsay in double the space of time. The bar rister had many rivals, but the most formidable was a gentleman acknowledged to be the most approved dandy in Paris. TJie lady polemic! these two to decide from, and invited them both to her chateau. The Frenchman declared to his friends that, lie meant to cut the Waiter sWt 'owe by OHfshirJng'the EnsTishn.aii bv fifs"dress, that the latter would retire from the field ci ushed to atoms by the superior skill he was determined to manifest, on the occasion. The Englishman said nothing, madja no boast, but accepted the invitation, and togeth er by the train the two rivals proceeded- (o the seat of war. It so happened that the' French dandy had furnished himself with a regular trtusscan for the occasion at the urent English tailor's iu the Rue du llehler, and the English tailor, out of sheer compatriotiSni, had told Mr 11 of what it was composed. A sudden idea flashed across the brain of the bar rister. His servant, one of the sanctified, hy pocritical roue valets for whom Londou was al ways famous, is something about the height and size of the French prelendu. Mr 11 im mediately ordered lor this ally the exact coun terpart of every suit already ordered by the Marquis de la B . The first day at din ner the poor young marquis was rather discon certed, when upon entering the dining room hir? glances alighted upon the very counterpart of himself standing stiff and self-centered behind' the Englishman's chair; and he looked angrily at his rival to sec if any insult was intended; but the Englishman was too intent upon mak ing himself agreeable to the lady to notice his ruffled temper. The second dny the same secn'o was enacted, although our hero had completely chauged even the style of his whole lounnnc, and again was the same ill-humor displayed during the whole dinner, while Mr II was profiting by the silence of his witty rival. The third and fourth repetitions were too ridi-- culons. 1 he young marquis, too clever, and, too much the man of the world not to feel the absurdity of his position, prudently withdrew' Brain and Thought. Richmond mentions the case of a woman whose brain was exposed in consequence of tlio removal of a considerable portion of its bgny covering by disease, lie says he repeatedly made pressure ou the brain, aud each time sus pended all feelings and all intellect, which were instautly restored when the pressure was with" drawn. me-same writer mfrTeTatx-iranmTier case, that of a man who had been trepanned, and who perceived his intellectual faculties fail ing, and his existence drawing to a close, every time the effused blood collected upon the brain so as to produce pressure. Professor Chapman, of Philadelphia, mentions, in his lectures, that he saw an individual with his skull perforated, and the brain exposed, who was accustomed to rubmit himself to the same experiment of pressure as the above, and who was exhibited by the late Professor Westar to his class. I lis intellectual and moral faculties disappeared ou the application of pressure fo the brain; they were held under the thumb, as it were, and restored at pleasure to their full activity by discontinuing the pressure. But the most extraordinary case of this kind with in my knowledge, and one peculiarly interesting to the physiologist and metaphysician, is relat ed by Sir Astley Cooper in his surgical lectures. A man by the name of Jones received an in jury on his liead while on board a vessel in the Mediteraneau, which rendered liini insensible. The vessel soon after this made Gibraltar, whero Jones was placed in the Hospital, and remained several months in the same insensible state. He was then carried on board the Dolphin frigate to Deptford, and from thence was sent to St. Thomas Hospital, London. He lay con stantly upon his back, and breathed with diffi culty. His pulse was regular, and each timo it beat he moved his fingers. When hungry or thirsty, he moved his lips and tongue. Mr Blyne, Ihe surtreon, found a portion of the skull depressed, trepanned hiin, and removed the de pressed portion. Immediately after this opera tion the motion of the fingers ceased, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the operation hav ing been performed at one, he sat up in bed; sensa tion and volition returned; and iu four days he got out of bed and conversed. The last tiling he remembered was the circumstance of takiug a prize in the Mediterranean. From the mo ment of the accident, thirteen months and a few days, oblivion had come over him, and all recollection ceased. He' had for more than one year, drank of the cup of Lethe, and lived wholly unconscious of existence, yet upon removing a small portion of bone which pressed upon the brain, he was restored to the lull possession oi the powers of his mind and body. Dr. JJnhavi. Buffaloes hy the Acue. A member of Governor Stevens's northern route exploring part-, in a long communication to the St. Louis Republican, written from the head of Yellow Stone river, says of the incidents of the party thus far : "On Sunday, after a march of some ten miles, the buffaloes were reached. They were before and on each side of the train. For miles ahead it seemed one vast drove yard. They were estimated bv some as high as 500,000200,000 is considered as a very low estimate. Drawing np the train at our usual halt at noon a large herd were about half a mile ahead. I he hunters, six in number, were immediately dispatched, well mounted, on spare horses reserved for that especial purpose, and the whole tram had an opportunity to witness a buffalo hunt. The hunters dashed in among the herd, flicked out the fattest of the crowd, and then separating the selected ones from the herd, soou dispatched them. In an hour the wagons were sent but a small distance from the route to receive the choicest pieces of the buffalo. "In the next two days' inarcli the hunters were kept some distance ahead, to keep off the buffaloes; it was the onTy way the safe passage of the train could be insured through the tea of flesh.
