Ykddo, Japan July 3. It will intertat some of your readers to learn something of this far-off country and people. It is well For us occasionally to look far beyond our v.wn immediate surroundings and enquire ire hat other races and other people are do- Jngaudhow they spend this existence. We may, by this, become more' contented with our own lot and more thankful to Abe Kuler of kingdoms for the blessings we enjoy and for that civilization which ..encircles us. That your readers may he the better pre pared to appreciate the various subjects to he discussed in the series of letters I will write, from this point, touching upon the •organization of domestic society, religion, morals and chiefly npon labor and labor organizations, it is proper that in this first of these communications I should give dear notions of the geographical and phys ical conditions of the country. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since Perry opened the sealed gateways of ■Japan to the commerce and travel of the world. The unique civilization of an island •empire with an area of| 160,000 square miles and .more than 36.000,000 of people was then first presented to modern times for study and investigation. Japan is a long and narrow island or Islands extending along the eastern coast of Asia, between the 31st and Kith paral lels of north latitude, and witli tempera ture ranging about the same as that of the United States. Through (he center of this island chain, running north and south, is one long mountain range with spurs of lesser elevations running at right angles. Interspersed througn all these mountain masses are innumerable fertile valleys. Along either coast are extensive alluvial plains. As the spurs of the mountains slope •iway towards the sea they present gentle hillsides susceptible of tillage. It is on •these alluvial plains along the sea, through these fertile volleys, mid on the gentle mountain slopes that, the laborer is to be found. The soil is a black vegetable mold from two to ten feet in depth and resting upon a, deep clay subsoil. Rivers and ca nals furnish an abundance of clear, pure water. The remarkable beauty of Japanese scenery has won the admiration of every visitor. Her grand mountain ranges, cov ered with trees and shrubs, clothed in per- petuu) green, the charming and pictur esque valleys carpeted with richest ver- lure and blossoming with ilowers ofa 'thousand hues, including the lotus, queen of lilies, which fills the atmosphere with Its rich perfume, the rushing torrents and ■winding rivers, sparkling with clearest water; her numerous and varied islands, her varieties of shrubs and trees, and herskiesof purest blue—ull combine to make their impress on the character of her people. Cheerfulness of disposition and love of the beautiful are striking characteristics o(\ the natives. Horn and reared amidst such charms of nature, forms of beauty become every-day familiar objects, and it is no matter of wonder that they bring into ex istence some of tlie lovliest works of art that human hands have ever formed, or that that the smiles of sky and earth, air and sen should lie reflected on their faces and in their lives. The laborer sings at his toil, goes cheerfully to his simple meal and engages with the enthusiasm of boy hood in ins holiday sports. The Japanese are not of Chinese origin, but. belong rather to the great Indu-Huro- pean family. The distinctive character istic of this oriental civilization, as com pared to ours of the west, is its extreme simplicity of food, dress, houses, house hold appurtenances and general style of living. The precepts of religion, the lnax- • inn-of got eminent and t he fashions of the times inculcate and command the practice of frugality and rigid economy, while the xrtmle influence of our western civilization tends to lead the laborer to habits of show -Wad luxury beyond his means, When wo consider that there are seven or eight hundred million of people dwelling on the southern and eastern shores of Asia, the majority of them work- • 01s,'living up to tip' requirements of ori ental simplicity and ready to compete with our people in every branch of human industry, then surely the earlier and more thoroughly we can acquaint ourselves with their ways, tluiir condition and surround ings, the belter will we be prepared to pro vide against the threatened evils growing nut of competition with them in the near future. American labor Is already in a ■ disturbed and chaotic condition. If the pushing tide of commerce shall bring to ■ nur doors articles made by the toil of Japanese and other Asi atic laborers whose expense of liv ing is but a trifle as compared "with tlie cost of living in America and whose wages amount to no morein a month than the American laborer would waste in some holiday sport, may we not look with concern at the many vexed questions which may yet arise before the relations of the employer and the employed can be finally and satisfactorily adjusted in this country. In my next l will toll you of labor.oi'gan- izatious among these eastern people whom we are now disposed to regard as pagan ami semi-civilized, but who can teach us many valuable lessons iu this, to us. com paratively new feature in social and iudus- irial order. Drannel. record of the party is spread among the people. The fce.'ng among democrat generally is one of buoyant hopefulness. Next Saturday will probably be the last legislative day of the session. Two or three- days will thus be given the president to i x'inline bills previ us to the adjournment. This will carry the final dissolution up to Tuesday or \\ tduesilay next. A Itimnm ti'Serlli t'arollnn Marriaw. Rock titan am Court House. N. C., July 28.—The high waters throughout North Carolina developed a romantic marriage in Rockingham comity yesterday. Mr. James Madison Stout arid liss Polly Mickle, one of the most beautiful young ladies in this county, started together yesterday to get married. They were accompanied by a small wedding party. When they reached Jones' creek they found that the water was u)i and they could not cross. They were going to the parson’s, on the other side, to be married. “I’ll swim across,” said Tony Bush, the groom's best man, “and bring thepreacher to the other bank, and he can marry you from there.” He soon had Preacher Hazlett on the opposite shore. He gave him Jim’s license and told him to proceed. “Join hands, my friends,” shouted the preacher, and from across the stream he made them man and wife. “Three cheers for the American eagle!” cried the groom as he flung his hat in the air. “Parson, here’s to the weather, and here’s to the tide, and here’s a kiss for my bonny bride. Tony, hand the parson that *6 bill, and be on hand to-night at the frolic at Mammy Stout’s.” “God bless you both,” cried the parson, cheerily, waving with one hapd and Buff ing the money in his breeches pocket with the other. He knew his business; Spriggins—“You are a society reporter, aren’t you?” Pen- nibs—“J have that inexpressible felicity.” Hpriggius—“You write up the fashions, don’t you?” Pennibs—“That is one of my numerous functions.” Sprigging—“Well, how much will you charge for a paragraph vill you charge tor a paragraph stating that a plain gold band is now the proper thing for an engagement ring? I have to buy one for Mamie to-morrow, and if I could show her such a paragraph it would be a hundred dollars in my pock et.”—Rambler. THE PRESENT SESSION S WORK.

Brannon & Carson, Wholesale Agents, Columbus, Ga. jy3u ulw BLOOD AND MONEY. The blood of man has much to do in shaping his actions during his pilgrimage through this troublesome world, regardless of the amount ol present or expectant money in pocket or stored away in hank. It is a conceded fact that we aj> peur as our blood makes u*. and the purer the blood, the happier, healthier, prettier and wisei ,ve are; hence the oft-repeated interrogatory, “how is your blood ?*’ With pure streams of life- giving fluid conning through our veins, bounding through our heart-, and ploughing through oui physical frames our morals become better, our constitution stronger, our intellectual* faculties more accute and grander, and men, women and children happier, healthier and more lovely. The unprecedented demand, the unparalleled curative powers, and the unmistakable proof from those of unimpeachable character and integrity, point with an unerring finger to B. B. B.-Botanic Blood Balm-as far the best, the cheapest, the quickest, and the grandest and most powerful blood remedy ever before known to mortal man. in the relief and positive cure of Scrofula, Rheu matism, Skin Diseases, all taints of blood poison.* Kidney complaints, old ulcers and sores, cancers, catarrh, etc, B. B. B. U only about three years old—a baby in age, a giant in power-hut no remedy In America can make or ever lias made such a wonderful showing in its magical powers in ouring and en tirely eradicating the above complaints, and gigantic sales in the face of frenzied opposition and would-be money monopolists. Letters from all points where introduced are pouring in upon us, speaking in the loudest praise. Some say they receive more benefit from one bot tle of B. B. B. than they have from twenty, thirty and fifty, and even one hundred bottles of a boasted decoction of inert and non-medicinal roots, and branches of common forest trees. We hold the proof in black and white, and we also hold the fort. I'oliceuiiui'H View*. Mrs. M. M. Prince, living at 38 West Fair street, Atlanta, Ga„ has been troubled for several months with an ugly form of catarrh, attended with a copious and offensive discharge from both nostrils. Her system became so affected and reduced that she was couflned to bed at my house for some time, and received the attention of three physicians, and used a dozen bottles of an exten sive^’advertised blood remedy, all without the least benefit. She finally commenced the use of B. B. B., with a decided improvement at once, and when ten bottles had been used, she was entirely cured of all symptoms of catarrh. It gave her an appetite, and increased her strength rapidly, and I cheerfully recommend it as a quick and cheap tonic and Blood Purifier. J. W. Gloer, Atlanta, January 10,1886. Policeman.
