A young ladv among the company, who didn’t know what an infernal machine siie wns toying with, selected a little poem which began with thisline : “Up, up, Lucy, the sun is in the sky.” The embryo logician of three years took his place in the center of the parlor floor, made a bo'V and read the first line as follows: “Double up.

I special Correspondent* Enquirer-Sun j Yeddo, Japan, July 6.—This letter is so near m date to the one of July 3d, that I noth will proba.uy reach your hand by the | same mail. I wi!l # defer writing at length | about labor organizations until I take in 1 Australasia, to which interesting region I will, after leaving this, next turn my atten tion. The government of Japan, up to 18<>S, was absolute and irresponsible, with an emperor at its head, who held all authority by divine right, and who ruled through a number of feudal princes, at whose head stood the great Tycoon. The laborer had no privileges, except such as his immediate prince conceded. He was absolutely under the control and in the power of his feudal lord. In l&ta the government was essentially remodeled. The feudal system was abolish ed; the feudal lord- were pensioned, and now a system of eouit > has been establish ed, wherein the laborer can be heard against even the highest classes. He can ' claim the intervention of these courts to j insure the pa% ment of his wages. These i changes in the government, operating in j conjunction with the establisment ofeom- liureial relations with other and more ad- I vaneed nationaliti- i, and especially with j Europe and Ameiica, has given uii imp ! tus to enternrise and a higher civilization. 1 One peculiar feature of the old abs- lut ism, however. still exists. i 1 refer to the police surveiiance of all I the people. The empire is divided ■ into districts, over each ot which i" placed a governor. At the governor's office I every native resident must be registered. ; and cannot remove to another district i without written pt .’mi.-.;,i-m tirst oliiained. | and ujion arrival at his or her destination must be . immediately registered theiv. | And this interierenee i>y the goveninieiB ' is not cunlined to the movements ol the ! people, Imt extends to all their trades and industries. •Since the feudal in.-titutious have been 1 abolished the hum tenure inis been ! changed and the land has been sold, and is now aeld in fee simple. Society was here as elsewhere is Asia, essentially patriarchal. The whole courst of life of a ehilil was shaped and controlled by the father. Marriages were entirely •,\ it hin his authority aim no son oi daugh ter, no matter of what age, could leave the paterne! roof and go out into the world without the parenta. consent. Among the lower classes daughters were sold by tueir parents to l>e concubines, or to be trained as singing and dancing girls, or they were mortgaged for a term or years to laoor. Much of this power of the father has been done away with, but his authority is i still greater than in any western society. The religion of the great mass of the peo ple is Buddhism, engrafted upon the origi nal Payne worship. They oelieve in Buddhistic duties, and also in the demons , and ^ e\ ii spirits of paganism. The belief in shrine cure prevails everywhere with them. Large numbers of cnildren, when sick, are carried to the favorite shrine instead of to the doctor, and thus mortality and the number of physically weak and diseased people are largely in creased. Neatly all classi • can read and urite enough for their business purposes. There are oi course exceptions, but of the male farmers and artisans not 10 per cent are il literate. The whole system of education has beta remodeled since Public schools Have been established and scientific text books from Europe and America have been translated and brought into use. An other uecade will see a useful education within reach of every Japanese laborer. Within the past ten years a medical college has been estahlisued in Pokio ami all the local governments have opened hospitals with a loreign surgeon for each, and a class of medical students. Th e changes will gradually drive out and pre vail over »he shrine cure and the old ig norant Chinese methods of treating dis eases. The relation of master and concubine is here considered perfectly proper ami neither party loses caste or respectability. After marriage the wife is expected to be true to her husband, and it seldom 1 happens that she fails in this duty. As mothers, Japanese women are models. None can be kinder or more aff'ectionat . to their children than they. 1 hey spare no pains to amuse or instruct them. But as wives these women are simply slaves and are often subjected to seeing the attention of their lords transfered i<> some favorite caucubine to whom they are obliged to l>« eansiderate ami respectful. The stiong drink is “sake” a distilled spirit made most 1,\ from rice of about the strength of ordinary table sherry. 1 he Japanese, like ail eastern people.are so oewlmt gieii to exaggeration in tneir speech, ami their intense suavity of polit» - ness to each other is proverbial. It is to be hoped that in the onward march of time tnoy will accept only the good things of out western civilization ami ' discriminate against that which would be hurtful even to paguns.

August. Unite a crowd from Greenville went out | to Flat Rock church last Sunday to wit ness the Hardshells' methods of washing their sins away. The dav was spent in j prayer, singining, etc. About 1 o'clock an | elegant dinner wns spread and it would have done you good to have seen the hun- I gry town boys go for the “yellow legs.” | Our town continues to boom. Brick are | arriving every day for another handsome ! building. This does not look as if the | Georgia Midland was giving us much of a j scare. I Greenville can boast of more musical i talent than any other town of its size iu | the state. We have one bra&s band and I one string band, which are composed of ; our leading young men. Our handsome ! and clever rou'e agent pulls the leading I Imw for tile string band, and I tell you he I knows how to touch a soft chord for cake | and wine when he goes out serenading. Crops are still booming and all are hap- i py. A shower now would help things. HI HIM* ON KKKHilir TIMIN'*. i in Iti'iiMtii'i n> t)i«‘ l eii frill lUilrniri <oni|>miy C a it not Allow II. The wholesale men and drummers of Macon ! have been endeavoring to induce the Central Railroad company to revoke its order prohibiting passengers from riding on freight trains. The local authorities laid the matter before the offi cers of the mud, and the result was made known j on Wednesday at Macon. The Telegraph says: I The authorities of the road while desiring to ' render every accommodation to the business j men. are e«-uipelkd to refuse the request. They i say “the custcm of passengers cu freight trains | lias been thoroughly tested on our several lines, | and has been ti uud very objectionable in all rc- I spects. Tlie proper accommodation ami protec- I tion cannot be given to passengers on freight trains. The cabs on said trains are, to say tbe least, anything butcoml'oi able,and the conductor | and crew have no time to give attention to them. ; You are well nw.ue that a freight train, in i topping at o station to discharge freight from ) u ceuain car in the forward pait of the train, * thecab, in which the passenger is compelled to l?e. will ol c mr-.e be a considerable dstancc from 1 the station; consequently the passengers will have to get oil al; Won, and. a- of accidents pnn,\ has s t all l’.ted t-j deh •ad hecu llurki-ruc .i ililH.iicl PiTMUial ? \ Hisitrri<*i'i) Negro Uiillopi-il I in* In .fail fur Kurkin.'

Miss Mary Norwood, a popular and sweet young lady of Hamilton, spent sev- 1 era! days in our town this week. Win. Kendall (colored) thought he would take in the town bust Wednesday, and while finder the influence of whiskey was very insulting to one of our young men who stood it ilh long as he could. After finding that talking would do him no good he proceeded to use up a bil liard cue on binij which soon brought a quietus over his insulting tongue.
