The moonshiners at Fulton county Jail

curious.
1t is nothing more nor less than the Chi

prison. Ever since she was placed there a
few DAYS ago these residents of the woods
and country have been anxious for the
slightest glimpse at the human being so
strange to them.
Most of them have evidently not seen a
native Of pig-tnildom before. The China
man, who is lodged i'll one of the upstairs
cells, has received more designations within
the aast week than a strange animal at n
circus in a country town.
The woman sits at the prison bars gazing
down at the revenue men most of the day.
Yesterday afternoon twenty or thirty OF
them stood in Il seni-circle Watching her
closely. Occasionally she would AJAX the

Hampton Institute.

The BEE is indebted to Miss X. F.
Camp for a copy of the Southern Work
man, official organ of the Hampton nor
NAL and agricultural institute where she
Is teaching. E. b. Monroe is president
of the board of trustees of this institute,
which Is not government school, nor
supported by any denomination or soci-
ETY., 100000 of its 100000 of annual ex-
penses being dependent on the charities
of the public. The institute has $40 stu
dent boarders, of whom 129 are Indians.
The Workman says that the eagerness
of the negroes for education is not dying
out. Their motive is clearer and wiser
than ever before. Hampton, wholly
turning from the dead languages, directs
the best thought of its students to scien-
tific studies, as more practicable and
profitable"
Gen S. G. Armstrong, who has given
his life to this work, is now on tour of
the East with colored quartet, who give
old slave songs and two Indian and two
colored students who tell of the work and
results of the Hampton institute. 1t is
doing a grand work in sensible way,
teaching practical industry, as well as
informing the mind.

trait of character. 1t is impossible to
tell you how strong the feeling of devot-
ion and duty to parents is in Japan.
Young women are even ready, under the
impulse of that feeling, to give all that
they value highest, if only they can save
their parents from the burden Of debt.
Now, that is Confucianism; it degrades
the women and the great failing of Japan
to-day is the degradation of women.
Yet, do not misunderstood me. The
women of Japan are the sweetest, the
gentlest, most patient, the most yirtuous
and the most ladylike women in the
world. You never heard Japanese wo-
man say anything bad, anything often
sive, anything unladylike. The langu-
age, too, is the most graceful in the
world. People say, not sWhere have
you been to-dayf'' but WHITTIER did you
graciously condescend to repair?' not
s'Come in," but "Pray condescend to en-.
ter" 1t is true that, perhaps, not every
gracious word uttered is really meant
and we know very well that fine manners
do not always mean sincerity. But the
gentleness and kindness of the Japanese
is sincere and to live in the Japanese air
among such people is to live new life.
There is a compact in Japan among the
inhabitants to make life as agreeable as
possible and to divest it of quarrels.
There are no quarrels, for when there is
somebody dies and so there is a great
peace reigning. 1t is race with the
manners of children. There is no hostile
feeling to Christianity.-[SirE Edwin Ar

You may telephone there and travel

certainly said many good and true things
but he is the arch opportunist Of Chinese

has ruined China and has done what he
could to ruin Japan. His philosophy is

True, he said many fine things. It is
the worship of ancestors, for example,
which has held that nation like rock.

Owing to the storm of Monday and

ing was held, last week.
The entertainment of II. A. Knudson,
which opened the course of Winter gath
erings, was social and financial sue
cess. Not only were the Golfers of the
society replenished and the seats as well
filled as could have been expected, but
the audience was RECALLED with many
wonderful feats of agility. From first
to last, Mr. Knudson gave satisfaction.
His pleasing manner and good nature
were above criticism; whilst he was not
afraid of the utmost scrutiny of his
tricks by an audience which is always
critical. The next entertainment of the
course will be given, December 10,
when Mrs Emma d. Banks will give an
evening to recitations, some of which
will be of her own composing. 1t may
be mentioned that Miss Florence Foster,
