Sunday at Montchanin.

About $500 Wilmingtonians were at the
camp of the First Battalion of Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers at Montchanin yesterday
The regulars of Battery NJ came in for q
large share of attention, and their tents
were filled with visitors, many Of whom
were pretty young women. To entor the
camp ground the young women had to
climb fence or over through STYLE and
the regulars and Pennsylvanians We'd
with each other in helping the girls over
and acting as ushers. There was consider
able rivalry between the Pennsylvania ms
and the artillerymen as to who should
capture the greater number Of young wo-
men.
or course, the soldiers fully equipped In
the bright uniforms won the girls The
largo number of the Pennsylvanians who
are still clad In brown canvas suits, and
who are called by their fellows "reconcen.
TRADES, came in for considerable share
Of the feminine attention; but even the
"hoboes,' those soldiers without any uni
forms, had girls to spare, SO great was the
crush.
The soldiers lived high, too, to-day
many baskets of dainties being brought
from Philadelphia by the wives, mothers
and sisters, while the fathers came loaded
with pipes and tobacco.
Colonel Porter wac visited by Mrs. Por-
ter and the Misses Porter, and Mrs. Camp
bell wife OF the Adjutant. was also guest
at headquarters, where Surgeon Burgin
acts as chief entertainer and joke cracker.
The feature of the afternoon was guard
= mount at 8 o'clock, Adjutant Campbell
being in charge. The officer of the day
was Captain Turner, and the officers Of
the guard were Leutenants Ladner Lind
say and Sharp. About seventy men were
mounted, and the powder works are thor
ougl:ly guarded.
Major Grugan, commander of Battery
NJ, OF the United States Artilley, says he
does not know how long the regulars will
remain with the Pennsylvanians.

The Literature Of japan,

There seem to be three ideas which per.
wade all general works on Japan-apology
for the past, wonder at the present and a
glorious prediction for the future. To the
western world Japan's past is but little
known, her present Is reflected in the
newspapers and periodicals Of the day, her
future may in part be read between the
lines of the present.
Volumes have been written about Japan,
yet so far no comprehensive history of the
people, their literature and arts, has ap-
pearcd in the English language. Japan Is
q most interesting and valuable field for
some Grote or Motley of the day.
The difficulty of translation from Japa.
nese is great. In the first place, the Ian.
guago Is IN agglutinative one and conse-
quently hard for wcsterner to acquire.
The poetry is one Of form and does not
possess, except in the drama, remarkably
deep thought or feeling. There are besides
many plays upon words which cannot be
transferred into foreign tongue. The
best prose tales and chronicles, which be-
long to tho oldest or classical literature,
are written in u dialect differing as widely
from tho japanese now spoken as the Ian
guage Of Homer differs from the Romaic
of today.
1t is not making too bold an assertion,
therefore to say that the available trans
lations fall far short Of the merits Of tho
originals so much so that tho western
reader is apt to underestimate the true
value of this Observation-Disclosures.

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1898-05-23

FROM the latest adyices 1t looks as If
the Delaware Volunteers would stay in
Camp at Middletown for several days yet.
The men have been made acquainted with
oil the discomforts Of camping out and
the life that a soldier is required to lead as
1t has done nothing but rain moro than
half the time the men have been in camp.
The camp was not located In the right
place and the only wonder is that such
spot should have been picked out The
men, for all that, have been in the best Of
spirits, and, with the exception of colds,
have enjoyed good health. They are anx-
ious now to move on to the front, where
they will have something to do besides
laying around in camp when not on dress
parade Sunday, for the first time for
three Sundays, being clear day, the rela-
tiyes and friends of the soldier boys avail
ed themselves Of the opportunity to visit
the camp by the special train on the Della
ware Railroad, which left Wilmington at
10 80 o'clock. The crowd was something
great and every car was crowded to is
utmost capacity, as it was thought that
this would be the last opportunity to bid
the men goodbye before leaving for the
front. 1t is not thought the men will be
kept much longer in camp before it is
broken up. The visit of friends and rela.
tives was treat to the men and the well
come was hearty one, on both sides.
