DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 6, M6. Charms of the Islands and Characteristics of the People. A Usdisntly beautiful She Hollowed On* the Valley*, Sloped the Hillsides un I Smnollieu the I'lalna—The Country Krerywhere Kni'linut- In*. Han Francisco Chronicle. The Japanese in their general character isties, like all other races and nationali ties, are what their natural surroundings have made them. The earth below and the heavens above them are oh enchanting ns a dream of paradise. H» surpassingly beautiful is their land, and so marked has been its influence on the character of the people, that in their simplicity they as cribe ita creation and their origin to other influences than those that produced ot her countries and other races. The legend which tells their story of creation is as beautiful and poetic as any of the quaint myths oi Nqrselnud, or those of the classi cal Greek mythology. It states that beyond the farthest star in the sky the gods and goddesses live. They created all things— the sun, the fair moon, all the bright stars and our world, too, were from their hands. They peopled all these with an infinite variety of men, women and other living things. Light, air and water, the golden rice and wheat, the brown millet an4 the luscious fruits, the bright plough and spade to stir the fertile earth, and the patient, burden-bearing horse and ox had been given them for their use and happiuess. Love had been created, and on countless white wings had been sent everywhere as a priceless and crowning gift to their creatures.” THE BEAUTIFUL GODDESS. “In a time long after all this bad been done,” so the legend runs, “there was a goddess so radiantly beautiful as to inspire many gods with love for her. but she re fused all but one, and him she loved and’ accepted. Envy, a fallen sister of love, inflamed the rejected with rage against the favored ono, and they procured the separation of the two. In despair at her loss, she determined to explore the dis tant worlds and find some hidden spot where she and her lover could live and love unmolested. On this romantic mis sion, alone she winged her way through infinite space from star to star till at last she came, to this world. Here sho visited the great continents and all the green Isles of the seas. She wandered among the vine-clad bills and the flower vales of the whole earth, but found no spot or nook beautiful enough for a homo such as her fancy pictured. Wearied and almost in dispair she left the great continent, from which the sun starts on his daily journey around the earth, when, far from the mainland, beneath the clearest crystal waters of the whole ocean she beheld wide stretches of snow-white sands. Attracted and enchanted by the sight, she deter mined hero to construct an island home so beautiful that in it she and her lover could dwell and their love become immortal. Sho dipped her crystal spear in the glis tening sands and from the drippings of its jewelled point she made those gems of ocean, the Japanese islands.” A LABOR OF LOVE. “With an inilnity of patient and loving labor she raise the high mountain ranges and lofty cone-shaped peaks; she hollow ed out tne deep, wide valleys, formed the long, sloping hillsid s, and smoothed the broad plains that border the ocean. From her magic spear and skilful band came the high shore line, indented with deep bays, winding inlets and sheltered harbors; the long stretches of pebbly beaches where the clear waters rise and recede and the overhanging cliffs, against which the great white-capped waves ceaselessly boat. “Among the rounded hills and steep bluff’s she made retired nooks and hidden grottos; and when her fruitful fancy had iashioued every line and form of beauty Bhe rested and after the warm sunlight end gentle rains had clothed her work with f 'reen verdure, crowned the high hills and ofty mountains with graceful groves, filled the valleys with a bright and fragrant flora, and the clear fountains bad bubbled forth to form the rills that murmur their way to the great rivers which divide the green of the valleys like ribbons of silver down to the sea; when the infinite variety of feathered forms had made the g roves choral with melody, Ahen she rought her lover to this new island home, and there they lived, and the children of their love became the first of that chosen race, the Japanese. There through untold time she has been vener ated and worshipped as ttie primal mother and the guardian angel of love and mercy. On every hill and mountain side she has ■hrines, built In embowering groves, where lovers plead for her intercession and blessing. Once each year of the un- speaking centuries that have gone she has had a festal day on which all her descend ants have met at her shrines, crowned her image with garlands offlowers and chant ed this story of her loveing labor.” A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. The distinction which Japan enjoys is that while other countries have lovely spots, she is everywhere enchanting. The whole length of the island chain, 1200 miles in extent, hardly presents a spot that would not be a subject for a landscape painter. The great, central mountain range, with the overtowering cone-shaped Fujiama, rises ulmost out of the ocean be low to be lost to view in the clouds above. Long transverse spurs of hills run out into the sea. l)eop, warm, rich valleys have been everywhere cut through the moun tains and hills, and bordering the ocean fertile plains have been formed from the weatherings and washings of the great mountain masses. Covering these plains, valleys, hillsides and mountains is a ver dure that riots in its luxurianoo. Clear streams, from their elevated sources, dash through narrow gorges, pour in gleaming cataracts down precipitous Mountain sides and whirl in crystal eddies nt ths feet of over-branching forest trees. It is a climat ic none where the flora of the cold north and that of the healed south meet and in. termingle. The pine and palm, the maple and magnolia, the beeoh and bamboo, and the oak and the orange interlace their branches in the same grove. Around all the land are the waters of the great ocean, from which soft winds temper the heat of an almost tropic suu. A HAPPY PEOPLE. Living in such scenes of enchantment tliase people are as light of heart and sun ny in disposition as children, and so polite and pleasure loving as to excite the admi ration of even then$ French and Italian visitors. There is no dwelling so humble but it has a spot lor trees and flowers. The rich have gardens in which are faithful re productions in miniature of thoir varied landscapes, hidden in trees and flowering shrubbery. Every farmer’s plot of land is beautiful and adorned. The gold of the ripened rice and wheat is contrasted against a background of green foliage. Whatever name may be given to the religion of that people, and whatever creeds and doctrines may have been engrafted upon their beliefs, the main feature of their worship is an intense love, amounting al most to an adoration, of nature. This ap pears in their whole life. They have built their temples on the sides of the great mountains, embowered them in overhang ing groves, and surrounded them with everything of flowering shrub. The sites of these commanded beautiful views of the surrounding country, and usually are near fountains and waterfalls. The village shrines are located in the most charming spots of the neighborhood, and no labor is spared to adorn and beautify them. The highways are bordered by rows of trees J ilanted centuries ago, whose branches brin an evergreen arch over the head of the traveler. The road to Nikko, where the temples and tombs of the Tycoons are situated, has a grand avenue of giant firs. For sixty miles one may ride in the shade of these wide-branching trees. From Yo- kohoma south to Kioto, the old capital, 100 miles, the road is one continuously shaded avenue, winding aloug the ocean shore, around narrow bays and inlets and over high hills and mountain sides.

Omaha Lady—Would not they listen to your arguments? “Oh! they listened respectfully enough, but when I talked to one of them about the sin of having so many wives what do you think the brute said?” “I am sure I don’t know.” “He said if Turkish women were like me one would be plenty.” THE SEASON IS OVER, llul The)- Will Semi Stories About While* sml Tilings.

J. mud >i.k«ng tour Putrv'r Long Branch, November 3. — A big white whale has ior a week past been using the ocean within two or three miles of the pier as a sort of playground. Day after day he rises from the depths to spout water and astonish the natives. The other day two men were seated upon a swinging scaffold tarring the iron piling at the end of the pier. Dangling between and a little beneath them was a tar bucket which al most touched the water. Suddenly there came an unusual swelling of the sea, and an instant afterward a great gray body rose complacently out of the water to the consternation of the men. The new comer greeted the men with a tremendous foun tain of water which he spouted from his “blow hole.” They lost no time in beat ing a retreat. Scarcely had they done so whenlthe huge leviathan snapped the rope that held tne tar bucket. Pier Superin tendent Taylor pronounced the big fish to be a white whale. It was about thirty-five feet long. The whale sank beneath the water and swam leisurely away. Since then the leviathan has been fre quently seen in these waters and has caused no small alarm among fishermen. Recently the whale took a day off and went to Seabright. Two men were quietly fishing in a skiff, when they felt it sudden ly rise as though lifted by the waves, afld then the boat shot off in that placid water just as a big fish rose above the surface of tl\e water not thirty-five yards away. It was the white whale again. The men were startled by their narrow escape and rowed hastily away, leaving the fish to sport about the spot at displeasure. Nearly all fishermen along shore are in dread of the sudden and untimely appearance of the whale, when their boats may be cap sized and their liveB lost. The appearance of a whale in these waters at this time of the year is so unusual. Hoxle Serve Food far the Nervous. Sleepless and Men tall) Overworked.
