JAPANESE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS.

The Japanese never smoke opium.
They have small pipes that will
hold three good whiffs, and of the
mildest Turkish tobacco. They
have a club house in Yokohama, of
which the high Japanese officials
are members. They have none at
Yeddo, the capital. That is where
Iwakura lives; consequently he is
not q member of any club. The
Japanese have the games of chess,
cards, and dOmlnOes. Their cards
are different frou ours, but the es-
sential principles of the games are
the same. Latterly they have be-
comes large importers of billiard
tables, and the game is fast assum-
ing a high rank. They are great
wrestlers, and every year the cham
pion wrestler wins the embroidered
apron, which he is allowed to wear
one year. The Japanese are anx-
ious to open their country to for
eigners, but they are profound be-
levers in civil and religious liberty.
So far as their religion is concerned,
they do not wish to be dictated to
or bullied into doing right. They
intend to do right aud in moral ac-
ton are governed by conscience
alone. They will not be forced to
do right, but will do it because it is
right. If they rise in the scale and
importance OF nations they desire
to do so of their own accord. In
all dealings they are governed by
what conscience dictates to be right.
No Japanese is allowed to cut down
a tree unless he plants another.
Under the law the mother is held
responsible for the good conduct of
her children. The Japanese women
are held as equals, but are not as
highly educated as the males.
Adultery is thing unknown among
the Japanese. After a few years, in
case a married woman is chiIdless.
the husband il allowed to take a
handmade. After child is born by
her she mustleaYe as soon as it is
weaned, and after that the real wife
adopts the child as her own. Adult
terry, if it occur. is punished by the
death of both parties. If a trouble
occurs in the street the parties liv-
ing opposite are held responsible
for it. OF course they try to make
the parties move on and stop the
row. aa" s.i
The idea is that every citizen
must be a policeman. All married
women have their eyebrows shaw
ed. Married men have no distinc-
tive mark. The Japanese are Jolly
people. They have their illustrated
Punch, besides that sixteen news
papers, with three EngIish-the
Herald, the Mail, and the News
published in Yokohama. The pres
ent emperor IS the I24th in regular
line. In these generations there
have been eight females. The pres
ent emperor, Moutsouhito, is six
feet high, twenty-five years old,
and fine specimen of a man. The
Japanese are inclined to be q little
dandified in their dress, and one of
the embassy has ordered seventeen
different fine suits In the last two
months. In Japan they have a
queer way of cultivating the. trees
and flowers. By the aid of strings
they are made to grow in the form
of ships, lions, tigers, cones, pyra-
mids, houses, etc. They have five
colleges in Japan, having from 500
to 1900 students each. ss-

probably be well to say something
about district No. AZ. This 47th
district is only two years old, and is
a very long district, some say ten
miles long, and 10 meet the emer-
gencies of the occasion the Board
erected two good school houses last

the district, in bonds, to run ten
years. Both houses are we'll located,

this year. The old Board was elect

4 GOOD WORD FOR THE MoRMONs

If there is u people whose dis
tincive principles we dislike, it is
the Mormons but we are willing
to give them, as well as all others
credit for all the good they do.
The following is from correspon-
dent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
and is said TO be nearer the truth
than is generally told of the Nor
mons:
"Iwas told by a Gentle last night,
a Boston man, and consequently one
not to be charged with an undue
amount of sympathy for the Nor
mons, that there was much in the
Mormon character to admire and
emulate. ''H they agree to per-
form any service for you," he said,
ssthey are faithful unto death. IF I
had difficult journey to perform
through o dangerous country, I
would always select Mormon for
companion, for he would shirk from
no danger, and halt at no peril TO
perform my service. Then they are
honest. Honesty and faitbfulness
| to duty, no matter what that duty
is, is part of their religion. Some
years ago I wanted to leave several
thousand dollars in the upper part
of the territory to buy gold. and in
going to that locality the first in
Quiry 1 made was for a. Mormon,
one who stood well in the church,
and that was all / wanted to know,
and when such q one was pointed
out to me, I got him to accept my
trust and take my money, although
had never seen him before. He
made a long journey into the noun
tains and returned in due time, and
sent me the gold correct to cent.
Now / am free to say that would
not trust a Gentle in the hazard
Gus manner spoken of, as would q
Mormon. If once they undertake
to do anything for you, you can de-
pend upon them as you can no other
people in the world. Faithfulness
INTO death is a part OF their rei-
gion." ~. s.. y. ~. - d
Another good point in the Nor
mon character, never mentioned by
the long-haired writer's and short
haired lecturers who come out here
TO abuse them, is their industry and
soberness. Here in the desert, up
on the barren soil, they have reared
| a city of sixteen thousand einhabit-
ants. Drunkenness, gambling, pros
titution, and kindred vices were not
known in Salt Lake City until inn
ported there by the boosted Eastern
civilization. There are very few
grog shops and gambling halls here
now, but what are owned by the
civilized Gentiles from the pure and
spotless East
The city is well governed, and
there is always money inithe treas
ury to meet every demand, . feature
lof municipal government which
might be studied to advantage in
Eastern cities The MormORs, who
number some seven to one of the
population; rule the city, and hope
for the city's good that they will
continue to- The pIethoric city
/ treasury is a tempting morsel in the
Eeyes of the standard bearers of civ
liiization from the East, and they
kwould ike to have an over-turning
4 of things, 50 as to get hold Of It,
but let US hope they will be disap-
pointed, Under Mormon rule, in
4 less than thirty years,ra city has
/ grown up, upon barren plain,
without timber or transportation
! facilities, very oasis in the desert.

DICK OGLESBY.

Ex-Governor Oglesby, of Illinois,
has written a letter in which he
states his continued support of the
Republican party. From his long
and eloquent statement we copy the
following: i--f
To such party the attachment f
all who ever belonged to il is still
due. Its career fills with pride the
heart of every one registered upon
its long roll of honor. / envy moi
the spirit of those who wish 10 tam
per with this grand political organ
ization or to drag it down TO dis
honor and defeat. a few, it is true,
seem willing, after having tired OF
the honor il has conferred upon
them, and the bounty it has given
them, to stay away under one pre-
tence or other, either of personal
disappointment, defeated hope, or
some such imaginary grievance, into
some speculative chance of making
themselves more useful to mankind.
Some of them aver there is now no
great principle at stake about which
men differ, and therefore eaca NAV
set up for himself in any new move
ment. Others very openly assert
that the Missouri Declaration,
Cwhatever it is contains the prin-
ciples for which they have already
contended. But all concur in the
demand Of complete amnesty to all.

party has long ago clothed with cit
izensh:p and the ballot every man
who ever bore arms against the re-
public. -la EI- -

OUR ROAD AND ITS SUPPORTERS.

The Fifth Parallel railroad is at
tracing the attention of some of the
most prominent railroad men of the
country. We learn that members
of one of the largest railroad cor
porations on the continent are nego-
tiating for the purchase of the right
of way, lands and franchise of the
entire line of road from st. Louis
to Fit. Scott, and west through Hum
boldt, Eureka and Eldorado to
Wichita, on the Arkansas river. If
they are successful, they propose at
once to construct through line the
entire distance from st. Louis to the
Arkansas river, as soon as possible.
The friends of the road are num-
erous. The newspapers i'll favor of
its construction are the best in the
State.
Web Wilder, of the Fit. Scott
Monitor, the braIniest editor in
Kansas, is a warm friend of this
enterprise, and will leave no stone
injured to secure its construction.
The Fort Scott Occasional, the
spiciest paper in all Kansas, speaks
out plainly in favor of this road.
Besides all this, the people of Fort
Scott and Bourbon county want this
road, and say they ,ciU haze at at
no distant day.
The Humboldt Union has been
first and foremost in the advocacy
of this road. Being one of the
most influential papers in Southern
Kansas, its good words have not
been UNDECIDED. In Humboldt as in
Ft. Scott, public opinion is strongly
in favor of this road. S. G. Mead,
editor of the Eureka Herald, was
about the first editor in the State to
write up the Fifth Parallel road.
Mr.. Mead is fearless and indie
pendent winter, and will be found
in the future, as III the past, a warm
advocate of our pet project.
The editor of the new paper at
Wichita, will devote his energies,
his time and his influence to secure
this road. As evidence of this, his
first paper contains an excellent ar
ticle on the status of the road.
In conversation last week with a
large number of leading citizens of
Wichita, we were more than ever
convinced that they want the road,
and will vote the bonds to get it.
To insure the construction of the
Fort Scott, Humboldt and Western
railroad, should be the aim of every
citizen along the projected line.
Bourbon, Allen, Woodson, Green
wood, Butler and Sedgwick-six of
the best counties IN Kansas-are
unanimous.
The Fort Scott Monitor, the Fort
Scott Occasional, Humboldt Union,
Eureka Herald, Wichita Eagle and
Walnut Valley Times-six of the
best papers in Kansas-dre for the
road.
One hundred thousand people
along the line of the road are ready
to offer material aid to secure its
construction.
Forty miles of the road will be
completed by the first of July.
Seven hundred thousand dollars
will be subscribed to complete this
road from Humboldt to Wichita.
A responsible company is ready
to take the contract to complete the
road so soon as the franchises are
worked up. &
With these facts before US, can
the people of Butler county refuse
to do their psrt? We say most
positively, No.-Walnut Valley
Times.
