DODD. .\pril 11. 8-2m Japanese Dress.—As far as my observations ^ went these people seemed to be as “quiet” in the patterns of their gowns as they are in their de- portm«nt. “Subdued mouse”-eolored silks and other Quaker-like colors seemed to prevail. The style or cut of the dress every body perhaps knows. Gowns are universally worn; folds of silk about the body take the place of our under-clothe.s; linen seems never to be worn in any shape (or cotton either) near the skin. The necka and bo soms of both sexes are unconfined. Such things as chemizes for women are unknown; moreover, the dress of each aud every class is prescribed. The insignia of the wearer is woven in the cloth or silk at the time of its manufacture. Petticoat trowsers, called Ilakamma, are worn by some high officials; others wear thick wadded silk stockings with wadded leggings. Swords are worn by Gov ern ment officials and nobles only—one or two, ac cording to rank. The head is shaven on the crown; the hair is brushed up from all around to the middle of the back part of the top of the skull, where the ends are gathered together and formed, by means of much wax and grease, into a stiff cord about the size and length of a man’s finger, which is bent to incline forward over the shaven caput. It is a singular and to me unaccountable method of dressing the hair, lor as a general thing, as they wear no hats, it leaves the top of the head at the mercy of the extremes of heat and cold common to the country. The women act more sensibly in this regard, and indulge their hair to the fullest extent of its luxuriant growth, and dress it in elaborate forms as artistic as they are becoming. Women are allowed a greater latitude in the patterns of their gowns— some of them being quite gaudy. Sandals of straw are worn by both sexes in their out door excursions, but never in their houses. How, upon coming out in a body from crowded audien ces, they all manage without difficulty to slide into their respective sandals, is a niystt ry tu u.s outside barbarians. They are awkward tilings to walk on, and ruin the gait of the wearer. ^ Japtiii Ldftttr. Courtship in Egypt.—Last Autumn a young lady left Dundee for Alexandria, to visit relations resident in that city. As the passengers were lauding at Alexandria, a richly attired Turk ad vanced to look at the arrivals, and seemed instantly to be struck with the charms of the damsel from “bonny Dundee.” He approached her and sud denly flung a string of figs about her neck. The captain of the ship came forward, aud informed his bewildered passenger that the Turk's gift was a token of admiration and affection. The matter speedily became serious. Through the medium of an interpreter, the Turk entered into a conver sation with the captain, and inquired the sum for which he would be willing to sell the lady; he had nine wives already, he said; but could he possess this new beauty, she would be the Queen and “Light of his Harem.” The captain, for the sake of a joke, replied that her price was 60,000 pias tres (about £500.) The Turk grumbled at the enormous demand; it was just double, he said, what he paid for the most haudsome Circassian, Georgian, or Mingrellian, ever brought to the Alexandrine market. The Captain, however, stuck to his price; and so the parties separated. But on the following morning, when the Captain was escorting the lady to the residence of her relations, the Turk again made his appearance, and throwing another fig necklace around the lady’s neck, intimated that he was prepared to give the requisite sum! Here was a dilemma. Eut the captain soon cleared himself. “Fohl’' said he, “you’re too late: I sold her yesterday for a thousand piastres more; so you’ve lost her.” The same young lady was married, the other day, iu Dundee.—berth Courier.

HALE & SON Ihe British Crown.—The crown worn by the Queen of Great Brituiu at the opening of Parlia ment is composed of hoops of silver, which are completely covered and concealed by precious stones, having a Maltese cross of diamonds on the top ot it. In the centre of this cross is a Uij^ni- ticent sapphire. In front of the crown, above the rim, is another Maltese crosd, in the middle of which is the large unpolished ruby which once graced the coronet of the chivalrous Black Frince, and underneath this, in the circular rim, is anoth er immense sapphire. The arches enclose a cap of deep purple, or rather blue velvet, and the rim of the crown, at its baae, is clustered with bril liants, and ornamented with f.eurs-de lis and Mal tese crosses equally rich. There are many other precious gems—emeralds and rubies, sapphires, and small clusters ot drop pearls of great price. The crown is altogether valued at over half a mil lion of dollars. Indeed, were it possible to re collect and again bring together such precious stones, this estimate would fall much below their intrinsic value. The old crown of England, made for George HI, weighed upward.s of seven pounds, but, notwithstanding this gorgeous display ot jew elry, independent of the gold cap, the present crown only weighs nineteen ounces and ten pen- ny-weights. it mea-surt's seven inches in height from the gold circle to the upper cross, and its di ameter at the rim is five inches. up the WroiKj Passenger.—An amusing aiiair occurred not many years since, at a -Itli of .luly celebratHjn in an interior town in Pennsyl vania. Revolutionary veterans were becoming very hard tt> lind, and yet a proces-sion with no old soldier in it was not to to be willingly sub mitted to. An honest old German, of Kevolu- tionary repute, was discovered at the las-t liour. An open carriage was assigned to hiiii in the pro gramme, and a s*at at the President’s right at the table. When pre.ssed after dinner to give his remini.scences of Washington, his recolleetiims were found to be rather indefinite. But some thing being naid about Yorktown, he remarked; “Vaa.s, I vash at Yorktown.” “(’nder Washington, gallant soldier, under Washington?” asked the Pre.sident. “Yaas, 1 vash oonder Washington ven I sur rendered.” “No! you mi.«take, my venerable friend,” ex claimed the President, “\\ ashington never sur rendered.” “"i aas, but you see / vnsh oncoj de IJe^siaits!” A W isconsin paper, after describing a farm which the advertis r wants to sell, adds; “'i he surrounding country is the most beautiful the (joti of nature ever made. The ticenery is celestial— j divine; also two wagons to sell, and a yoke of ' steers.” Falsehood is often rocked by truth, but she 800D out grows her cradle, and discards her nurse.
