LUXURIEs OF NATIVE HOTEL.
The first thing to do is to refresh oneself
with cup of tea, which the servant will pre-
pare. If the water is boiling il will be too hot
to make good tea. 1t is therefore first poured
into the pitcher-lke dish TO cool IL slightly,
and then poured upon the tea, which is already
in the very little teapot. In minute it is
poured out into the cups, and MS japanese
teapot is made for the purpose of making the
tea, aud not for the pouring of it out fair pro-
portion will run down the spout into the tray,
instead of out of it into the cup.
One will probably be surpassed that the tea
is made so quickly, and without boiling water.
As a matter of fact, boiling water is quite gcn-
orally used, but wherever the best teas arc
used, and whore. rs in private houses, the
people endcavor TO bring out the finest flavor,
the water is very slightly cooled As regards
the quickuess of making the tea, it must be
understood that the tea used by h,o natives is
not dried like the teas prepared for exporta-
ton. All tho native dried tea, such rs is used
by tho people. is redried in the foreign g0-
downs before il is sent abroad.
Just before dinner you will he told that tho

part of Japanese life. There is probably no
other thing that the people enjoy so thoroughly.
The water is often quite too hot for foreigners,
but TO get the full benefit of il the temperature
should be as high as can he borne. 1t is then
not enervating, but rcstfu. The bathroom is
not always private, but is often quite open
TO passers by in the hall.
The water is used by all tho guests success
lively, but as
NO ONE USES SOAP
the water remains tolerably clear. The most
distinguished guest has the preference. After
the guests follow tho heads of the family and
children, and lastly the servants. There are
many public bath houses for the people in
every town.
The dinner follows the bath, and 10 is served
in so many different styles that any attempt to
describe them intelligibly would be hopeless;

black lacquered trays raised on legs from three
TO eight inches in hight, according 10 the style.
Upon each of these trays will come five differ

mats are made of rushes which are cultivated

The fourth or closed side of the room will
probably consist of a sort of double recess
three or four feet deep, forming the toxic
mona, for the beauty of which the Japanese
houses are justly famed. The width of this
varies, usually taking up one entire end of the

around above the doors may be closed, hut il is

BURKE IN GLOVER.
Louisiana's Defaulting Treasurer Enjoying
Himself in Honduras.

Louisiana's Defaulting Treasurer Enjoying
Himself in Honduras.
From a gentleman just arrived in
New Orleans from Honduras, it was
learned that Major Burke, the default.
ing State Treasurer Of Louisiana, is
now in the capital of the Republic,
where he arrived three weeks ago,
well provided with money furnished
by the English syndicate which is in
terested with him in his Honduras
mines. Burke had a royal reception
from tie President of, the Republic,
General Bogran, and stands in high
favor, the Honduras official looking
upon the Louisiana incident as mat
ter OF little account. e Z.
President Bogran gave him impor-
tant additional concessions, which put
him in virtual control of all the min
ing operations in the large province
Of blanche. 1t is understood that
Eogran is himself interested with
Major Burke in these mines. The
latter succeeded further in securing
the good will of the Americans ia
Honduras, and is said to have won all
of them over to his support by. inter
esting them in his venture or giving
them employment in mis- mines, and
now he has the backing of nearly the
entire American colony.
Burke's headquarters are at the
capital, but he has made several ex-
cursions to Juticalpa, near which the
mines are situated The machinery
sent there, via New York and San
Francisco, has not yet arrived, but
gold has already been obtained from
the concession, and the gentleman who
brought this news had several speci-
mems with him. He ridicused the
idea of Bogran's surrendering Burke
at the request of the United States
and says there is not the slightest
chance Of it. The Louisiana treas
urer is popular with the President
with the natives as we'll as the Amer
leans, and promises to play all i'm
portant part in Central American
politics. :

THE BoYER-TEAcuE CASE,

This case was called up Wednesday
morning and the first day was con-
sumed in arguing preliminary techni.
ealities.
This morning, ON motion of plain
lifts counsel, Judge Brown quashed
the special verire of jurors and or
dered another venire on the following
grounds:
1t has been customary in the coun-
ty for the sheriff to draw the names
of jurors from the jury box and read
them to the county commissioners.
This is cot strictly according to law,
asthe commissioners should themselves
examine the tickets as drawn out by
the sheriff. In this case, as the sheriff
vas IN interested party, Judge Brown
said he could not give judicial sane
ton to what might be fraud, although
be did not mean to insinuate that
there was anything wrong with the
jury as drawn by DR.. league.
Accordingly, another list OF jurors
Was drawn By the county commission
en- and the sheriff. Here is the list:
Daniel Woosley. Jno. w. Ellis, An
thony Taylor, Calvin Nelson, Cool

A ROW IN THE CAMP.

This week we print on the first
page OF THE SENTINEL an editorial
from the Union Republican of last
week.
We reprint it because it is the best
document the Democrats can get hold
of to help win votes. 1t shows two
things:
First, the Republican party is one
in which all the leaders are spoils
hunters. Deprived OF Office, they
kick.
Second, it shows that the Republi-
cans in the fifth congressional district
are not united and never will be SO
long as John Brewer is in Congress or
is candidate.
As proof of the first proposition it
is only necessary to state that Mr..
j. w. Goshen, editor of the Repubh-
can, was a candidate for the Winston
post-office and failed to get it. There
fore he kicks. His canvassing agent,
Willard Masten, did succeed, through
Mr.. Goslen's influence, in getting a
position as revenue "noser," but he
too has fallen victim to DR.. Wheel
er's bow and spear, so Mr.. Goslen con-
tinues to kick. Let him kick!
In support of our second PROPOSE
ton there is good evidence. The next
day after the Union Republican was
published last week; Postmaster Shore
(who is supporter ofthe Wheeler, or
anti-Goslen faction), of Salem, pub
lished an article in the DAILY attack.
ing Mr.. Goslen in language more for
chile than elegant. In fact he called
Mr.. Goslen names, bad names-names
that brethren who dwell together in
the Publikin party shouldn't use
toward each other. Mr.. Shore was
mad. very mad, SO mad that you had
to hold your breath and keep a tight
grip on your hair to keep it from ris-
ing when you read the article.
And all of Postmaster Shores
friends were mad with Mr.. Goshen, and
all Mr.. Goslin's clique are not banker
ing to fall on Mr. Shores neck and
embrace him.
And there has been no duel yet.
No, fellow citizens, Mr.. Shores
blood is all in his veins, and Mr. Cos
lin looks as self satisfied and fat (?) as
usual.
All this rumpus means that it is
time for men who are really Republi-
cans from principle to leave the par.
ty. If they follow John Brewer they
follow fellow who has made an ass
Of himself Defore all the world, and
who threatened to turn trailer to his
party unless he got the Office he want
ed. And if they oppose Brewer they
may expect 10 be snubbed and bull
dozed by Brewer and his friends.
They who oppose him need expect
nothing from this administration.
1t is time for those Republicans
who prefer honest leaders and clean
politics to come into the Democratic
fold.
