'employed in the. late Abyssinian campaign. We give an illustration of the design. The obveree compri4es the head of Her Majesty, shown on a plain" field. The Queen's brow is encircled by a diadem of rieh workman- ship, from beneath whieh a Yalta falls in graceful folds down to the shoulder, which is parpy represented. Circles of jewels en- eempass the Queen's neck, and the bust is placed within an inner ring slightly_ raised, and engrailed, c dotted, on its: inner cir- cumference. Ou the ouuside of this ring or . . frame for the Royal portrait is a _series oC nine vandykes, their apexes touching the outer and protecting edge, whiph also is. finely engr tiled. The. pyramidal form of floreated vaneykes givee a stailike appear ance to the design. The legend is very simple, being comprised= in the one word Ahvseinia."- The letterO fire placed be- tween the va.ndykes, and therefore at some distance fitin each other. The reverse con- sists of an admirably executed wreath of laurel leaves, united at the bee° by a ribuon and placed between the projecting and en - galled hailer ring. Contrary to the ordin- ary pt.:leap of imprinting the name of the recipient and his rank or- title on the edge of the medal, th.e field or disc will bear diet inscription in the -present instance. Thus the recipient's name will be encompassed by 3aurels, and made patent, to all observers, like the words "one shilling" on a coin of that denomination: The medal 'is of silver slightly finer than standard, its diameter being 1 in., its weight oz., and its intrin- sic value 3s 10 -la It was impossible to avoid a delay of two or three rmaiths befoye the Abyssinianmedals et-arld be lettered, clasp, ed, ribboned, and made ready for. distribu- tion.. Every- medal bas lad to bestwice or thrice struak -between the dies before cOM- pletion. Messrs.- Wa-on, of Regent street, des6ie-ned the medal, whieh was apisroved. by Mr. Own Jones; and Messrs. Wyon also engraved the dies. Japanese Domestic. Life. M. Humbert, the Swiss Minister at Jed - do, has lately published some amusing de- tails of the lomestic life of the Japanese. In japan, marriage is the universal- habit. Almost the only exceptions, are to be found in the case or certain monastic ordEirs; •and among the ladies in .attendance den the EmpreSs. Men marry at about twenty and woqien at fifteen years of age, but, except in the Buddhist sectsi.the' act is marked by no religious ceremony. Among the pres- ents displayed is always to be seen a double - lipped vase. At a given moment -cue of the bridesmaids advances, fills it ,with daki, and Presents it alternately to the bridegroom and bride until the.gobletie emptied. -Under this symbol the idea, is conveyed that togeiler the husband and wife must drink the cup of con j ugal life to tile dregs— whethsr it ,be filled with ambrqsia Or with gall. Japaneee raothei-s _have, greater auth- ority over their children than their fathers, and the rights of women. are so far recog, nized in the country that a woman has wielded the scepter of Lhe Mikados. Dur: ,ing- infancy the child's ordinary playmates are a"fat, short -legged dog, and a fatter tail- less ceL. .

The thirtieth -day ffter birth every 'citizen receives his first name ; on a4aining his majority he takes a second ; a third on bis marriage ; a fourth on being inveeted with any public function., which he changes upon attaining each. higher, grade, and s� on to the name 'given to. him after his death. The: last is engraved on his torah, and he is by it known to -all succeeding rreilerations. Pmeting One Thousand Years Ago. An extraordimuT discovery has been made of a press in India, Wliou Wairen 1:1: stingcNette Governor-GenereI of India he observed that in the disteict of Bon nes, little below the surface of the earth, is to, found a, stratum of a kind of fibrous woollyt substance of various thicknesses in horizontl lityers. Major Roebuck, informed of this,' went 'te a spot where an excavation had been made displaying this singelay pheno menon. In digging somewhat deeper, for the purpose of farther research, they laid otitetL vartlt, 1iich, on further ex;uninatiou proved to be of some'size, and 7,0 their, as- tonishment they found a kind of printing. press eet up in a vault, and on it moveable types, placed as if ready for printiniz. Every enquiry was seton foot ascertain -the prob- able period at which- such an instrument could 141.ve been placed there, for it was evidentleenot of modern origin, and frora the Major could collect it appeared proba- ble the press had remained there in the state A was found for at least 1,000 years: We believe the worthy Major, orishis return to England, presented. one of the learned associations with a memoir containing many curious speculations on the subject. Paper we knoiv to have been manufactured in the East many centuries before we had any knowledge of it, and we have' many feasnns to thiak that the Chinese had been acquaint- ed with the mode of printing they now em- ployed many years before Faust and Gutten- burg invented it in Europe.' It certainly does- no credit to the inventive genius of the Romans:6 know that while they approach- ed so near as to engraVe in a style net to be equalled in the present age on gems and stones, and of com-se the taking of impres- sions of them, that they should have remain- ed ignorant of the art which has bestowed so many blessings on mankind. .1 Jp.Mping into Matrimony. Marriage is, 'unquestionably, as decided a turning -point in human .destiny as can be. It is,.however, a turning -point which'least of all, should be left to mei.e blind eliance. Yet mere blind chalice often rules the re- sult. Everybody now recollects how Lord Byron staked on a toss up whether he should maize his offer to Miss Millbanke or not. Mr. Grant asserts that there is an English duke now living who wrote the fol- lowing 'letter, when Marquis, to a friend with whom ho had agreed to inspect seine carriages in Long Acre.: k. "It will not be necessary to meet ine, to - ,morrow, to go to Long. _Acre, to look for a catriage.- From a remark made by the Duke (his father) to -day, 1 fancy I am go- ing to be marriod." Not only lied the Marquis left his father to choose a bcide for him, and to make the necessary matrimonial arrangements, but when the intimation was made to him by the Duke that •the future Mavehionese had been fixed on, he seemed to view the whole affair as if it had been one which did not concern him in the least. We hove a lar anecdote of the late Duke of Sutherland : " On the morning of le day of his marriage a friend .of his found himleaning cztrlessizy over the railing at the edge of tile, Water in St. James' Park; and throwing crumbs of bread to the ducks. His friend, surprised to see him at such a, place, and so otgag,.ed, 'within two of the appointed time of his marriage to one of the first women. in ,England—ote in whoseveins the blood of the HoWArdS flo w Pd —exclaim ed., W ha b, you. here tc-day thought you \yore go- ing to -be married this morning.?
