When You Meet in Japan.
From the Brooklyn Citizen.

Nothing is more amusing than to watch
two acquaintances saluting in the sire cts
of a japanese town. As they come in
sight OF each other, they slackcn their
pace and approach with downcast eyes
and averted faces, as II neither was
worthy of beholding the other; then
they bow low, so as TO bring the face on
a level with the knees on which the
palms of the hand are pressed.
a succession of kissing SOUNDS Is next
made by drawing in the breath between
the closed teeth. interspersed with a Sc
ries of complimentary Phrases uttered
with great Volubilty in a sort of UNDER
toned falsettu, each trying to outdo his
friend in rapidity and extravaganza OF
language, while the palms are diligently
rubbed.
At last the climax is reached and each
endeavors to give the precedence to the
other, For some moments, perhaps for
a full minute, the polite contest con-
tinues; then the ceremony abruptly ends,
as II the dficulty were capable of none
but a brusque solution, and the two pass
on hurriedly, with a look OF extreme re-
lief

KInKs Daughters Hospital.

This admirable institution was
thrown open to the public for in
spection on Thursday, and is now
ready for use, both by the sick
and destitute who are sheltered by
the organization as a matter OF
charity, and also by people Of
means who require good missing
and careful attention such as can
only be given in a hospital. The
Accommodations for charity patients
are all of the best, and the pay
ward of the home is so excellent
and comfortable in all its appoint
ments that a better home for a
temporary invalid could not be
found.
The services of a trained nurse,
Miss johnson, have been secured,
and she is now in charge of the es-
tablishment. In addition Mrs
" est, formerly of Hollondale, in
this county, has been chosen sc
matron Of the institution. which
is now established on a footing 1ar
stronger and hrluer than ever be-
fore, and beyond the hopes and
expectations of the charitable
women to whose untiring efforts
Greenville is indebted for the

Evil DAYS have come to the

a minority party but q wraHgling

not only become o party Of mega
ton, but a turbulent and faction
bedeviled party Of negation. 1t
has no leaders and no objective
point to which to lead. The tinsel
of place and position is more
thought of than are principles or
policies. What was once a great
party that stood for the broadcast
craftsmanship has degenerated into
a number of insurrectionary fac
tons who agree only on one policy,
that sublimely stupid policy of do
ing nothing and of Directing to
everything proposed by the Re-
publicans. Conditions such as
these can not last, because they
will destroy and obliterate. The
question of leadership in the house
amounts to little so long as there
is no cohesion among members.
Republicans are extending the
trade Of the country, opening new
territory, building schools aud
court houses in our new possessions
and, whether right or wrong are

AcQUlHScENCE.

The effort, inaugurated by Mis-
sissippi and followed one by one by
other states of the South, to prac'
tically disfranchise the ignorantand
menacing bulk of their negro popu'
lation, is being accepted as reason
able and necessary to harmony
and intelligent government, nor is
it probable that its workings will be
interfered with in future by any
threats of force bill legislation as
in thepast. The extremity of
the measures adopted in these
Southern States are acknowledged,
but their radical character is now
being excused by the plain neces-
slty which prompts them. One of
the plainest evidences of the growth
of this sentiment of acquiescence
is furnished by a letter published
in the New York Sun by ex-Gov-
ernor Bullock, of Georgia, who
occupied the governors chair Of
that state during the Carpet Bag
regime. He says he is Republi-
can on all National issues, but de-
clsres that "Congressions' at
tempts to interfere with our late
affairs will react on our party dis
astrously.'
In commenting on the communi-
cation of Governor Bullock, the
Sun delivers itself as follows:
Governor Bullock gives HE full
Southern States to protect themselves
against negro dominat on, speaking
If them as improved systems OF cleo
lien laws" Having assumed that
Federal interference will be power
ess to prevent the changes and will
,nly exasperate the south and still
urtheJ consolidate it against the Re
publican party, as ian effort to Afri-
anize the south, he proceeds to dis
uss the question as to the limitations

CUES Governor Bullock, the United g

renee with our elections, would rele- n
tie the Republican party to the mi :

Major George NJ. Helm spent a
few days in the city this week, and
honoredTHE TINES Office witha call
Major Helm is one of the most
extensive and successful planters
in the Delta, but reiterates the
gloomy report given by all who
are interested in cotton. The fields
are full of the staple; labor is un-
certain, and indeed. impossible to
procure and depend upon, while,
even if gathered and marketed,
the value Of the crop scarcely war
rants the expense OF saving 1t.
Major Helm is still asufferer from
a very serious fall from the roof
of his plantation house, which took
fire short time ago, while oocu-
pied only by himself and one ser
want. Climbing to the roof, he
extinguished the fire, but missed
hit footing and fell distance of
twenty feet, bruising himself so
severely that he still finds it ne
cessary to use a crutch.
