A Japanese ISlUTe. Of all the towns in Japan aooeasible to the foreigoer, Kioto is by far the most interest- ing. There is no European quarter, and ]ud({ing from the behavoir of the natives, I should say that the average of the Europeans finding their way thither in the course of a year is small. We did a good deal of miscallanecos shopping, and wherever we went there assembled a crowd of people of all ages and both sexs. They were very quiet, and not intentionally rude, but their capacity for a prolonged steady stare ia in- finite. What they say, did notâ€" at least, not immediately â€" suggest interchange of re- mark. They just sto3d and dumbly stared, watching every slightest motion or geitnie of the stranga beings who had dropped from Heaven knows where upon the streets of thAir city. Oa the nit{ht of our arrival we went to a barber's shop for a shave, necessary after four day's traveL As our jinricksha i drew up at the barber's shop the crowd began to gather, and when it was discovered that txo foreigners were actually about to be' shaved, the excitsment thiooghout the quarter deepened in intensity. The crowft blocked up the nanonr street, thoss behind trying to see over the heads of others in front, while the thrice fortunate ones in the first line flattened their noses againit the window, and steamed it wifti their breath. Inside the shop there was a reflex of the ex- citement. Thet barber himself, though pale, was oollccted in manner, and gave me only one gash. But his whole family were ranged in one group in the kitchen, which opened ukto the slpp. The assistants stood around, from time titime handing necessary artidee to the operator. The most hopeless case was the small boy, whose duty it vas to stand by and hand paper, combs, brush, towel, or whatever might be needed by the barber. He stood at tue elbow of the chair whilst I was beug shaved, with his face half a foot ftom mine, but lips slightly parted, and a pair of firaat brocm eyes un- naturally extended fixed oa my faoe. I fancy he was in a condition m modified catalespy. At any rate, he neither moved nor spe whilst the barber rasped me. and when I vacated the ohafar in nvor of my young frioid he b^gan af rash on him. It was the most vfllanoos shave I ever suffered. A dinner kidfe would lutve been for the purpoie a luxurious article compared withtherazor. Ibesonghtthebarbcrtoletme oS, but with out avail. It was the oppor- tunity of a life time, and he would not limit its duration by any voluntary act. Ffaially, when he had done with both of v», he charo- ed one and eigbtpeocs for his fiendish work whioh seemed t) us a very dear p.ice for two such shaves.

A woman will wear a hat trimmed with birds, a sheaf of wheat, a small alligator and other articles of like description, and be perfectly happy.

A merchant tiaveller at dinner requested the waiter to bring him a piece of rare beet, and, when it came, it was rare indeed. "Waiter " he remarked, wamingly, as he looked at the undone dish. "Yes wah," re- sponded the darkey. "Take this beef out, please, and kill it." The waiter crawled into a napkin ring and disappeared.

A wonderful aid to the ordinary Summer attire is to be found in the pansal. For an afternoon dtiTe its potenoy is marvelous, either as an auxiliary m the massing of color, or as a kind of refuge behind which may re- treat a bonnet of questionable, fresbnasf or with possibly a snggsation of last year's fash ion ia its prt^ortiona.

Taere are few, very few, tiiat will own themselves in a mistake, though all the world deem them to be in downright non- sense. By struggling with misfortunes we are sure to reoeive some wounds in the oonfliot; but a sure method to come off victorious is by running away. Sincerity is like travelling in a pTain, beaten road, which commonly brings a man sooner to his journey's end than by-ways, in which men often lose.themselves luuivihty is not a vice of the soul, but the effect of several vioes â€" of vanity, iainorance of duty, laziness, stupidity, diatoaction, can- tempt of others, of jealousy. Indolence is a delightful but distressing state we must be doing somsthing to be happy. Action is no less necessary than thought to the inatinotive tendencies of the human frame. Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures. In the assurance of strength there is strength, and they are the weakest, how- ever strong, who have no faith in themselves or their powers. I When the most insignificant 'person tells us we are in error we should listah and ex- amine ourselves and see if it is so. To be- lieve it possible we may be in error is the first step toward getting out of it. French and Engllsli Detecttves. In England we have a curious but very erroneous idea that if a policeman wears a suit of plain clothes instead of his regular uniform he is fully able to find out all about any crime that has ever been oommit- tad. A greater justake was never made. Not only to the "dangerous classes," but to almost every Londoner who is anything of an obaerver ragarding his fellaw-men, "plain-clothes" officers, as our detectives are called, are actually as well kno vn ai if t^ey wore the helmet, bine tunic, and black leather waist-belt of the regular policeman. It is boito otherwise in France. A French detective has notliing whatever to do with serving summons or warrants. He never arrests a criminal, bnt he pointe out to the regidar polios where criminals are to be found. It is only on very rare occasions that he even appears at witness against a prieoaer, and when he does so he asanmes for tiie future a dresi and general appearance quite unlike what he has hitherto borne. A Freneh detective who cannot diagnise him- aelf In such a manner tiiat hia oldeat friend would not be able to recognize him is not deemed worth his silary; He takes the greateet professional pride in tlui art. In a word, um French deteotives are the spies sent by the army of law and order to find out all dMut the enemy that is constantly waging war against Itfia and property. In England we uve no similar set of men, and what are the oonsequenoes Why, that unlen a murderer, burglar, or other offisnd- er is either taken red-lianiled, or leaves be- hind him some very plain marka as to who he is or where he is to bs fonnd, crime with us is, as a rule, undetected. Sooner or la- ter, notwithstanding our national prejudices against all that is secret and underhand, we mnst ad4pt a system for the detectim of crime on the |^an tliat is found to work so well in France, and the sooner we do so the better, nukes we want to make England in general, and London in particular, more than even it is now, the happy hunting-ground of all the scoundrels in Europe. AU French- men who have visit ad our country say that our ordinary p:lioe is the very beat in tiie world; that the manner in which they pre- serve order in the abreeta is above praise; and they are right. Nor can a word be said against the character, the integrity, or the inteaticms also of our detectivee. Bat the system on wliich they are trained is es- sentially bad.

He is not known, and he never will be knowtf, as a great adminstrator, as a great legialator,cr as a great master of parliament- ary detail. He cannot even be considered a debater of the first order. He is a man, however, just as indispensable to the legisla- tion whioh has been aMomplished during his career as the minister who conducts a bUl through Parliament. .At an orator he has acquired an equal renown In the House of Commons and on popular platforms. Such are the power and fervor of his eloquence that it has always oonstitated a force with which responsible atatesmeo have been oom- pelled t) reckon. D.sr.keli once said of Cobden that "he was the greatast politisi n tiiat the npper nuddle cUm of England had pro inoed, and that he was not only an orna- ment to tiie Honaeof Commons, bnt an hon- 4ir to his oomatry, ' It may be asserted of Mr. Bright that he hassurpasjMd all his con- ten^oraries in tiie art of giving simple and weighty expresnpn to the views anl aspir- ations of the English mnltitade.

Efad he been capable of pandering to the popular sentiment of the hour, he would not have reeisted the Ten Hours Bill, nor wotdd he have lost hb seat for Manchester twenty- seven years ago by denouncing the foreign policy of Lord Paunerston in Gbin» and m Russia. It would be unjust to say of him that he wai ever the mere mouth-piece of public feeling. He has asted as the cham- ^on of the popular cause just so r as he oonll identify .that cause with, and vindic- ate it by reference t}, what have seemed to him to be the eternal laws of justice and right. Ihere were Radicals before Mr. John Bright. There are, and will continue to be, Biadicals after him. But as he had little in common with many of thosa who were p Aen of as his allies at the beginning of his public life, so he has slight sympathy wit I the most powerful and representative Rviicals whom he sees round him as the sha 'ows of Ids life begin to lengthen. â€" T.
