JAPAN, in spite of her mistakes,
stands for light and civilization; her
institutions are enlightened; her laws,
drawn up by European jurists, are
equal to the best we know, and they
are justly administered: her punish
ments are humane; her scientific and
sociological ideas are our own. China
stands for darkness and savagery. Her
science is ludicrous superstition, her
law is barbarous; her punishments are
awful; her politics are corruption; her
ideals are isolation and stagnation.

Bishop Turner's Idea.

Says a New York dispatch of a rc-
cent date: The steamship Kansas City
has arrived here from Savannah, Ga,
and among the passengers are twelve
negroes. old and young and Of both
sexes, the advance guard Of an African
colonization scheme now on foot in
several southern states. The plan
originated, early this year, in the
mind of Bishop Turner, who is now
travelling through the south. 1t was
formulated and put into shape by Jere-
mie MILAN, a white man, of Birming-
ham, Ala, who founded what is known
as the International immigration So
ciety. The plan of the society was not
new by any means, but this particular
scheme seems to have had large fol-
lowing from its inception The society
is now said to mum Der 1000.

The Cotton Crop.


The New Orleans Picayune, of re-
cent date, says: Mr.. Henry Neill, the
well-known cotton-crop authority, has
made public his estimate of the actual
Weld of cotton during the present year,
and it must be confessed that the size
of the figures is surprising. Mr. Neill
believes that the crop will be 10,250, 600
bales, Of which Texas and Indian terri
tory will supply 1880, 600 bales.
Mr.. Neills past record as a crop au-
thority entities all his estimates to
serious consideration, and beyond
question his opinion in the present in
stance will be given weight in Europe.
1t must be remembered, however, that
Mr.. Neill is not infalliblc, and some OF
his estimates in the past have fallen
far short of the mark.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that Mr..
Neill is radically wrong in the present
instance. and the Picayune believes
that he has actually been misled as to
the size of the crop The publication
of his estimate in Europe, however,
can not fail to do great injury 70 the
cotton producers by lowering the price
of cotton, unless in the very near fu-
ture a falling off in receipts creates IL
doubt abroad as to the accuracy of Mr..
Neill'S forecast

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Near the Century Mark.

Mrs. James Summers-J ohnson, the
Oldest woman in Fairfax county, Va.
died few nights ago at West Grove,
nged 90 years.
Mrs. johnson was a noted woman in
many respects, being well known
throughout northern Virginia. She
had lived at West Grove, surrounded
oy some of her descendants, the fourth
generation of which are living, and
the descendants of her former slaves,
all the latter having long since died.
The aggregate of Mrs. Johnson's
descendants is over 200, and they
are to be found in every state
N the Union. Three Of her broth
trs cmigrated from Virginia to diff
ferent parts of the United States and
each became n county iodge. After
her marriage to Mr.. Summers she
lived in the same house more than
fifty years and buried two husbands
from it. Mrs. Johnson enjoyed perfect
health during her entire life, was never
even troubled with headache, and un-
til ten years ago was able to read and
KNIT without the aid of glasses. She
was an old Ironside Baptist and had a
great repugnance for everything that
she thought ought to be classed as
frivolity of life. The body was laid be-
tween the graves of two of her hus-
bands, in the old family burying
ground in Fairfax county.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

CLEVELAND and Philadelphia are I sing
ground.
CHrLDs, of Cleveland, now leads IN the mat.
ter OF receiving bases on balls.
CHAMBERLAIN has evidently developed into
Cincinnati's winning pitcher.
GRrrFIrH. OF Chicago, is bothering all the
heaviest batters OF the League.
o'RouRKE, late OF Louisville, has signed
10 play third base for ST. Louis.
NEW York is now the strongest club in
the League from ri'-t,.,g standpoint.
O'RouRKE lasted ,WoLty years as a ball
player, but only two months as an umpire.
SHUaAnr, OF st. Louis. has developed into
one OF the greatest outnelders In the pro-
fession.
TIE Baltimore Club released Mullane. He
lost majority OF the games that Baltimore
dropped.
JENNINGS. OF the Baltimore team. has been
hit nineteen times by pitched balls so far
this season.
The only League clubs that have not been
shut out this season are the Bostons, Phila.
delphias and Pittsburgs.
RADroRp, OF Washington, Is said to be the
only player In the League who is exempt
from Sunday ball playing.
BALTIMORE has gone crazy over Hanlon's
the League from an attendance point.
IS the st. Louis Cleveland games OF June
2s First Baseman Connor had but one put out
and no assists. which is a record breaker.
PFEFFER, OF Louisville, IL playing some
wonderful ball. II he has an equal on the
diamond thd player is certainly not in the
big League
KILLES. OF Pittsbury, has probably had
enough OF the Brooslyns for this season.
They have knocked him out OF the box every
time he has gone in against them.
NEARLY half OF all the home runs made in
the League so far this season have been
made on the Boston grounds. The Bostons
also lead the League teams In this respect.
THE Boston management has taken the
first step toward giving Boston at least one
frst-class catcher In securing that brilliant
young backstop, Tenney, OF Brown Univer-
sity.
The first base play OF Tucker, OF the Bos-
tons this season has never been surpassed.
His record Is twenty-five straight games
without an error, and In thirty-two games an
average OF 1898.
LouIsvILLE's poor record is brightened by
Ave defeats OF her Odd rivals OF Cincinna Il,
from whom Louisville, In Association days,
would have rather won tho series than this
championship She also won three straight
from the Brooklyns.
ASsoS, OF Chicago, does not allow any OF
his players TO talk back to tho umpire, and
nowadays does very little kicking himself
Perhaps the old man has discovered In his
many years experience on the diamond that
fighting the umpire does not pay.
BALTIMORE has not yet won q game from
Pittsburg. Chicago has not yet won any
from Brooklyn, Louisville has yet to beat
New York. Boston, Brooklyn and Baltimore
Philadelphia has yet to win one from st.
Louis, ST. Louis has not yet beaten Balti-
more, and Washington has lost six straight
games 10 Baltimore.

Forest fires are causing serious losses to
lumbermen near Bradford, Pa. Many des-
tructive fires are raging between Bradford
aud Kinzua. In the hemlock district ,travers-

burg, pile of sawlogs containing $4,000
feet OF timber was destroyed. and u force OF
men are at work trying TO conhne the flames
to one locality. The logs destroyed belong
to Weed, Mundy q Co., Bradford, and are

lilies at the lumber camps thereabouts have
moved to places OF safety taking their house
hold goods with them. At Thurston's camp,
Corydon township, the people barely escaped
from their houses before the flames destroyed
all the property in the place. The fires are
the result OF the recent dry spell, and as rain
has commenced to fall, 1t is likely there will
be no further danger.
