in Macon, tho guest of W.F. Oollege.
The city was glad to pay respect to
her distinguished benefactor. Speak,

says :
Mr. Seney made an inspection of
the college building, grounds, etc.,
aud expressed himself more than
gratified. He was
DELIGHTED WITH THE BUILDING,
and said it surpassed all his expecta
tions. He said, *1 had no conooption
of the elegance and completeness of
yonr building.’ Looking out over
tho city, he said: “I am amazed at
the beauty of your town and the
elegance of your private residences.
Like the Queen of Sheba when she
beheld the magnificence .of Solomon’s
glory, I must exolaim tho half

thing about our city was pleasing to
him, and ho had nothing but good
words to say of Maoon and Georgia.

abolished, and the 1st, 6th, 11, 16tb,
21st, and the 26th of each month
were fixed as days of rest; bat these
again were fixed as days of rest; but
these again were speedily changed
for the Christian Sabbath or Sunday,
one day in seven. These Suudays
are observed by foreigners with high
a veneration as Buddhists observe
tho birth day of Shaka (April 8th),
th anniversary of his death (Fib
15th), and the anniversary of the
death of the Prelate Sbinran Shonin
of the Shingon seot (Nov. 28th). All
Christians rest on Sunday in order
to offer prayer to God and to bring
an offering of gratitude to the foun
der of their religion, who was Christ.
To such an extent is this the case
that even the United States of Amer
ica, which boasts of religious free
dom, have incorporated in their
very Constitution the institution of
their Ctuiatinu Sabbath as a day for
national rest. That Constitution
provides that drafts of laws emana
ting from CongresB may be consider
ed as.sanctioned and signed by the
President and put into operation if
such drafts are not returned by the
President to the Congress witbiu ten
days, from which ten days, however,
Sundays are excluded. In some
States it is said that the observance
of the Sundav is strictly enforced,
the people being prohibited from
following their usual callings on
these days, and even their amuse
ments appear to be restricted in va
rious ways. Should any great na
tional festival, such as New Year’s
Day, Independence Day, or W ash-
ington’s Birthday fall on the Sab
bath, its celebration ia postponed to
the following Monday, so that the

liquors in Bartow was road the boo-
ond time.
A resolution was offered that the

the 1st Wednesday in Jaly. Laid
over.
The resolution of Mr. Brinson
that the legislature observe thanks
giving day was adopted.
Tbe report of the committee rec
ommending that J. H. McWhorter
be allowed the seat from Oglethorpe
was adopted, and ho was according
ly sworn in. There were 726 votes
each to 0. M. Witcher and Joseph
McWhorter, and there was one vote
to J. H. McWhorter, aud as this lat
ter gentleman is known both as
Joseph and J. H. McWhorter, it
thought the vote should be counted.
The resolution to suspend work
on tb e new capitol until a join 1
committee, of both houses, could
consider the question of construct
ing it from Georgia material, was
taken up and after considerable die
cussiou, was indefinitely postponed
The senate lesolution inquiring if
any arrears were due from lessees
for escaped convicts, was agreed to.
Among other bills introduced
were tbe following, to provide a bet
ter system of sewerage for Save
to regulate duties of Grand Jnrors ;
to authorize the establishment
public schools in Palmetto; to amend
the code in reference to the us
proper language before women
submit tbe sale of liquors in DeKalb
county to the voters, and to incor
porate the Macon city and i
ban street railroad.
Wednesday.
Several members not recorded as
voting asked that tbeir names'be re
corded as voting for Senator Brown
among them Hon. A. E. Tarver of
Jefferson. Mr. Beck of Calhoun
stated he did not vote as reported
for Gen. Toombs, this leaves only
one vote, Bartlett of Bibb against
Senator Brown.
The Adoption of the Foreign Religion
by Japan Necessary.
(Translated from the Jiji Shimpo.)
The civilized nations of Europe
and America have always held that
non-Christian countries could not
bo treated as enlightened nations.
Such being the ease, if we desire to
maintain our intercourse with Wes
tern nations on the basis of inter
national law, it is first of all abso
lutely ueoessary that we remove
completely tbe stigma from our land
of being an anti-Gbristian country,
aod obtain tbe recognition of fellow
ship by tbe adoption of tbeir social
color. * * * *
There can be no doubt that we
are on the eve of more intimate and
more intricate relations with for
eigners. It is scarcely necessary to
say that the religion which com
mands the strong faith of Western
lands and which has descended as
an heirloom from their fathers, is
Christianity. The doctrines of this
religion seem to have penetrated
into tbe political fibre of those lands,
to have moulded national laws, cus
toms and manners, and even to iu
fiuene» tbe every-day transactions
of social life and personal inter
course. So far as polities are con
cerned, it may be safely asserted
that the idea of bnman equality had
its origin in Christianity. Even the
boasted philosophy of Greeoe nev
er reached tbe principle or tbe
thought of the equality of man,
and Aristotle, the illustrious father
of ethical Boienoe, did not condemn
slavery or tbe trade in slaves. In
after days, when Rome was great,
no man ever raised his voice to pro
claim the equality of man. But Je
sus Christ, when thirty years of age
for tbe first time brought to light
tho great principle that man and
woman, noble and serf, are of equal
rank and their lives equally pre
oious in the eyes of God. These
principles spread in thfi Roman ein
pire and eventually were expressed
in national law. Thus the principle
of equality became established iu
theory, but for a long time it did not
acquire sufficient innuenoe to
trate into political lifc. After the
lapse of hundreds of years, at the
beginning of the last century, the
principle of equelity so affected the
politics of France that, at one time,
it formed tbe pretext for revolution,
and, at another, gave the substance
of argument for universal suffrage.
In America it resulted in national
independence, and eventually in the
emancipation of negro slave*. ■
As before stated, the weaker of
two parties in mutual intercourse
cannot hope to cope with and flon
tiol tbe stronger. Forcible resis
tance on the part of the former could
only rosult in calamity and loss,
while yielding in lesser things brings
mutual gain and satisfaction. Tako
for instance tbe changes made in our

Crown priucee hsve so muck to
learn that they must begin early
and lose no time. Until his ninth
year the education of the young
Grand-duse was superintended by
Madame de Flotow, one of the In
dies of honor who had followed tbe
Prinotss Dagmar from Denmark to
Russia. In 1877 tho charge wae
given to Lieutenant-General Deni-
Tovitoh, who has arranged the
Prinoe’a bouts of inatrnction in ac
cordance with thosa of the military
gymnasiums. His regular lessons
are from eight in the morning till
three in the afternoon, bat with
suob intermissions that the? never
