FLOWERS IN JAPAN.
Gust mers That Are Observed by Lovers
and Admirers.

Gust mers That Are Observed by Lovers
and Admirers.
Gardeners Monthly.
In houses wherein reside one or moro
daughters of manageable age an emp
ty flower pot of an ornamental character
is encircled by a ring and suspended
from the window or veranda by three
light chains. Now the Juliets of Japan
are of course, attractive, and their Ro-
meos as anxious as those of other lands.
But instead of serenades by moonlight
and other delicate ways OF making an
impression. it Is etiquette for the Japan
ese lover to approach the dwelling ofhis
lady bearing some choice plant in his
hand, which he proceeds to plant in the
empty vase. This takes place at time
when be is fully assured that both moth
er and daughter are at home, and need
scarcely say that neither of them is at
all conscious that the young man is TAX
ing such a liberty with the fowerpot out
side the window. It is believed that a
young lover so engaged has never been
seen by his lady or her mamma in this
act of sacrilege-at any rate, my friend
tells me that during his long residence
in Japan he never heard Of any one be-
ing detected in the act or interferred
with in any way. The fact is, this act of
placing a pretty plant in the empty
fowerpot is equivalent to proposal to
the young lady who dwells within, and
this eastern fashion is, as l think, a deli
cate and most harmless way of proposing
to lady. The youthful! gardener, hav-
ing settled his plant to his mind, retires,
and the lady is free to act as she pleases.
If he is the right man she takes every
care of his gift, waters it, tends it care
fully with her own hands, that all the
world may see, in word, that the donor
is accepted as sutton. But if he is not a
favori,e; or if stern parents object, the
poor plant is torn from the vase, and the
next morning lies limp and withered on
he veranda or on the path below.

THE Republican prints a letter which
advocates the drawing of the color line In
public resorts, theaters and churches.
The snobocrat desires not only to fence
out men and women of color from must
cal and dramatic entertainments but
would even wall In heaven to keep II
from being contaminated by the African,
whether he is as black as anative Nubian
or bleached out to the color of o Cir.
csssian. In this age and In this land 81
equal rights ard civil and religious lib.
erty, all such caste prejudices are only q
reflex of intolerance and ignorance. II
this same heightened aristocrat had
mingled with the courtiers of Louis Ma,
poleon he would have considered himself
highly honored by assoclatlpg with
men and women whose African origin
was beyond question. 1t shocks SOM
people to sit In q pew next to a negro OF
to have their children taught in public
schools where the girls and boys of all
races are educated OF a perfect equality.
They revolt at the thought of travelling
In the same sleeping car with Fred.
Douglas, John NJ. Langston, or Blanche
X. Bruce, but they have no objection to
occupy the same berth In which the negro
porter had bunked the night before, nor
to take their v~ictuals prepared by the
hands of negroes. What these people
will do il, in the world to come, they
should be consigned to the care of his
satanic majesty, the devil, 1t Is difficult
to imagine. They might object to eom.

WHEN congress appropriated S4C0, 00(

WHEN copgre.s appropriated 100000
as a subsidy for carrying the mails In
Anne rican-built steam vessels, it was gen.
orally supposed that this was intended
for the sole benefit of the Pacific Mail
company. That company supposed go,
too, and was confident that 1t would get
the entire amount. But it seems that II
was slightly mistaken, as other claimants
have appeared in the field, much to this
surprise and indignation of the Pacific
Mail. The Alexandra, the Ward and thu
Atlas lines are, or may be, email" steam
ers, within the meaning of the act, ane
they now have their agents at Washing
ton to insist upon their share of thu
money. Owing to the complication tina
has arisen the postofice department i
puzzled as to how to carry out the Law
within the meaning of congress. L
would not be surprising II, under thes'
circumstances, the payments should b
delayed until the meeting of the mex
congress, In which case 1t Is an oper
question whether the act would not b.
rescirded.

THE Lincoln Journal Is rather late In
coming to the defense of Warden Nobes
That famous offender CT public plum
derers and apologist for thieves can zee
nothing improper In the warden's crooked
vouchers for carpets and furniture which
were shipped to his bank and opera
house for his own use and charged up to
the penitentiary account. 1t strikes us,
however, that the Journal at best can
only make a defense for Nobes. How
can that paper consistently uphold 8
m~ercenary turnkey who bought his fur
niture IN Omaha, when he could have
purchased 1t just as cheaply at Lincoln
with the states money! Here Is a cast

ONE of the pretended specials of the

special committee will investigate the af-
fairs of the Pine Ridge agency. The
Washington reporter of the Herald, who
is located In the Herald office in Omaha,
tells US that McGiliicuddy will get q

to go. Isn't such buster a little bungling

Such talk sounds as If 1t were inspired by
somebody who knows that the pretended
investigation is to be a sham. II

THERE must be some land in Texas
which has not been gobbled up by monop-
olles or given away to syndicates, This
evidently Is the true inwardness of the ru-
NOR thatthe Chicsgo syndicate proposes to
throw up Its contract for building the
Texas capitol. This great land ring
succeeded In putting through a scheme
about three years ago for building a cap
itol to coat $1,000, 900, to be paid for
with 5000, 900 acres of state lands, Up
to this time the contractors have re.
ceived patents for 43S,000 acres,
valued at about 81, 0o0, 900. They have
expended $500, 900 on the building, and
by throwing up the contract would clear
a half million. But the Chicago gentle
men will not throw 1t up, if they know
themselves. They simply propose to play
the Bill Stout method on the legislature
which Is to be convened In extra session
There are /, 500 ~convicts In the TexaI
penitentiary, and the contractors want Il

that will allow them to use these convict

Taking Care or Blind Tom.
Columbus Georgia. Paper.

Columbus (Goorsia) Paper.
Few people, perhaps, know that with
the exception of short absences of two or
three days, Blind Tom, the musical pro.
dizzy, has spent the last four or five weeks
at Columbus. He was brought here at
the Instance of Hon. L. +. GArfard, coun-
eel for General Bethuue, in order to test
the right Of the woman who claims to be
the widow of the late John Bethune to
the management of Tom. She was here
for several days, but took no sters in the
courts to obtain charge of Blind Tom, but
1t was evident that sno was considering
such a course.
She visited Toms mother and attemp.
ted to persuade the old m to give
her control of him. She succeeded In In

full guardian. At the term of the Ordf-
nary's court this week he was tried for

Correspondence Of The BER.
MCCooK, Neb MAY l5.-With a
doubt in my mind as to the great value
of the land in western Nebraska and
Kansas, l started from Bloomington last
Saturday morning for the purpose of
v%iesing that section, accompanied by two
of Bloomingtop's ilustrious townsmen,
one a truthful land agent who always
attends Sunday school and votes the pro-
hibition ticket, the other q livsryman
with opposite proolivities.
Arriving at McCook, the metropolis of
fsr-wess Nebraska, we were besleged by
live,ymen at $500 q day, and by ~locators
at $40 o claim. .
From McCook we Travelled overland
through Red Willow, Hitchcock, Dundy,
Haynes, and Chase counties, Nebra.k o,
and through Rawlins and Cheyenne
counties, Kansas. Some very nice gov
eminent land may be found in Haynes
and Dundy counties, Nebraska. The
disadvantage of these counties is the
great depth Of water ard prospect oil
sinking a strata of rock, which cannot be
got through. In Rawlirs aud Cheyenne
counties, Kansas, come ct the finest land
can be found, and especially 60 in the
latter county, where, on the divide be
tween the north and south fork of the
Republican, is e fine lakeland extend
ing from Wsnc, neal the center of thu
county, for go miles west. Wano, named
from the postoffice formerly located a few
miles below the present site, is on thu
rich, level battomland of the Republican
river, and POSSESSES many advantages TO
a town site, not the least of which is thu
fact that at a depth of IL to 10 feet, pur'
and excellent water Is found.
