FeTl~!>7l 889^ Not quite a uu?nth yot of Grover’s reign. Gol. Fred Grant is talked for minister to China. A bill recently introduced in the Indiana legislature provides for the abolishment of the teaching of German in the public schools, Lee Linn, formerly editor of the Wabash Courier, is traveling ’correspondent for the Indianapolis Journal, The Indianians who voted for Gen, Jackson in 1 -1832 will hold a reunion and celebration at Indianapolis on the 15th .of March, The famous Philadelphia merchant, John Wanamaker, who is prominently mentioned in connection with a cabinet position, when a boy resided at Leesburg, a small town in Kosciusko county, this state. Gov. Hovey is said to be an out and out free trader in his private views.— LaPorte Argos. The evidence confirmatory of the above statement is all the Independent wants. Ao exchange says that “the Supreme •Court has decided that the statutory -provisions, which attempt to confer authority upon the County Board of Equalization to increase the valuation of the property of an individual taxpayerlisted by him for taxation, or to add property to Iris list without notice to h im, are unconstitutional, as being in conflict with the provision that a burden shall not be imposed upon a citizen without due process of law,” It has been ascertained that the members of the Indiana House of Representatives engage in the vocations named as follows: Farmers, 35; lawyers, 25; physicians, 8; manufacturers, fl; print.ers, 3; editors, 3; telegraph operators, 2; merchants, 2; and one each from the following; School teacher, florisf, surveyor, commercial traveler’, contract, hotel-keeper, tinner, miller, foreman of coal yards, agent United States Express Company, Unite,d States claim agent, fltock dealer, insurance agent, and druggist. The farmers predominate, a thingjthat does not often occur. Referring to. the fact that there is considerable ignorance among the average citizens of Indiana concerning the (marriage laws of the state./the Rochester Republican says: “If they are enforced the laws would be as strict as those of any other state. No first cousins are permitted to marry, but there is no penalty if they do so in violation of the law. A girl must be eighteen years old and a youth twentyone before they are of marriageable age. If married under that ago without a note from thsir parents authorizing the license the marriage is perfectly valid, but the clerk lays himself liable to damrge. This is in the event no person has made affidavit to the girl’s age. The person not testifying to the truth as to age may be indicted by the grand jury and imprisoned two years. ” Grand Words From a Famous Journalists. I cannot believe that earth is man’s abiding place. It cannot be that our life is cast up by the ocean of eternity to float upon its -waves and then to sink into nothingness, else why is it that the glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temples of our hearts are forever wandering about unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and clouds pome over us with a beauty that is not earth and pass oft' and leave us to muse on the faded loveliness ? Why is it that the stars which hold their festival around the midnight throne are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ? Apd finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are presented to our view ami then taken away from us, leaving the thousand streams of affection to flow back iq Alpine torrents on the heart? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth. There is a realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread out before us like islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beings that pass out before us like shadows, shall stay in our presence forever.—Geo. D. Pre..tt'E. I ... This is a boy’s composition on girls: ‘Girls are the only folk; that- has their own way every time. Girls of several thousand kinas, and sometimes one girj can be liKe several tho ’.sand girls if she wants to do anything.

OUR JAPAN LETTER. An Entertaining Account of the mabnerM, customs, etc,, of the Japanese Kanazawa, Kaga, Japan, Jan. 3, 1889. Editor Independent: When I wrote you before I had no intention of waiting till now before writing again. I was reminded about two weeks ago of my tardiness by receiving tho Independent that had my otherletter in. Since writing before wo have left To«yo and Yokohama, and jjome to Kanazawa. We stayed one week at Tokyo the capital and three more weeks at YoKahama, waiting for- our passports. We then tooi< a German vessel that runs between China and Yojiahama and came down the southern coast to Kobe the seaport r w Oska. We had another siege of seasickness (there but it did’nt last long. Only thirty-six hours. After staying almost a week in Osaka we started for our present home. We had railroad accommodations GO or 80 miles. Crossed a lii tie lake on a steamboat, and the rest of the two hundred miles we came in ginrikishas. This was certainly the prettiest part of our whole journey. Most-W the way we were crossing the mountains, and the scenery was magnificent. We stopped at night at Japanese hotels. We were obliged to leave our shoes at the entrance and although the weather was quite frosty walk through their houses in our stockings. They had no stoves, but a . small box with some charcoal burning in ashes. We seated ourselves on the floor and huddled around these little “hibachis” quite closely. We stopped three nights at these hotels. We had our own lunch baskets with us. Eggs and rice and fish could be obtained of the Japanese. The second day we traveled 15 miles after dark so that we could reach here the next day. Mr, Winn, one of the missionaries of this station who met us at OsaKa, telegraphed on to the hotel we were to stop at that night. So when we reached the edge of the city, they had sent two or three men out to meet us and escort us in. And the next morning they escorted us out of the city. We were up the next morning and on our way by six o’clock, with a ride of 55 miles ahead oT us. When the sun was coming up we saw men worshiping him as a god. We passed by many temples and other signs of heathen worship. At about six o’clock in the evening we reached Kanazawa. The students of the mission school met us at the edge of the town. We stopped and were presented to them. Some of them speak a little English. As we were riding along two of the boys came running along by me, and said in very plain English “We are very glad to see you.” I don’t know how much time they had spent in getting that little address of welcome, but lam sure it was heartily appreciatedThe next day was Thanksgiving and Mrs. Winn bad all the foreigners to a Thanksgiving dinner,- We now number 18 including Mr. Winn’s three children. It was a very happy Thanksgiving for us. We came down in the morning to see the house we are nowliving in and as we used to say in America “size it up.” We were much pleased withit, although we did not get moved into it for some three weeks, As our goods did not arrive till then. Several days after we came Mr. Winn’s had a little reception for us and invited all the Christians and the students. Between one and two hundred came, One of the boys had prepared a little address of welcome for us, which Mr. Taylor and I responded to through an interpreter. I thinx I mast give you his address as he copied it oft’ at my request and gave it to me, “We are very glad to have such a joyful day. lam very glad that I can stand here and speak to our new teachers, because we -were waiting you many months. We many thank that your , country had been intimate with greatest kindness, than other- many foreign countrys, since it was a treaty with Japanese by the negotiations of Com- , modre M. C. Perry in the year 1854. This is that which Japanese cannot forget forever, There had come many missionaries from your country to Jap- ■ an, and they had been worked through many troubles as a day during several years therefore there are hundreds churches, about thirty thousand Christians and many schools. And also you ; have come to -work among Japanese from far, far away. You are heartfully and joyfully. We feel as if got our parents lost. How thankful we ought to be that we have such happy. Ah, our . emperor and many people not become Christian yet and many people not perfectly civilized. These are greatest sorrys for the nation., Qh, dear ouj .teachers, you shall have many troubles ol different climate different languages and other- all things, but please stay in Japan long years and york for education and the holy Gospel TpE Students of Eiwa Gakku. Y. Murai. ” Mr. Taylor and I have both begun teaching in the school. We teach about two hours a day and the rest of the time devote to the language, Up to this time we have been quite busy in getting settled in our new home. We ; are very comfortably fixed in a house i buflt by one of the missionaries who has ■ gone to Oska. Mrs. Leonard will beEgin teaching next week in Miss Porters ! Kindergarten school. Every one of the i workers seems to be ap busy that we I want to help them what we can. The holidays here is a great season. ! They begin not on Christmas but on ; New Year’s and last 10 days, during which time everybody keeps open house and serves a little cake and tea. We

went over to Miss Porter’s since wo cannot speak the language and received with her. We had 102 calls during tho day. Yesterday, the day after New Year's, I went around with Mr. Winn and made a number of calls. Had an opportunity of seeing Japanese at home. Every house we removed our shoes, and after we got in and seated on the floor, then the host would receive each of us with a bow. That means they placed their hands and knees on the floor and bowed the head down to the floor. And as I could not speak the language I worked the bow very freely. Their houses are mostly one story, with rooms divided off by paper doors and walls. Scarcely any furniture. Some of the Christians are beginning to get foreign chairs—(or rather foreigner’s chairs, as they make them). They are also learning to wear foreign costumes. But not great numbers of them yet here in the interior. The novelty of things is be- , ginning to wear away somewhat and we are getting m< re and more interested the work we came to do. Yet it will be a good while before the strange dresses and manners will cease to interest us, ; Yet our interest here is not so strong but that I often think of Walkerton and . the happy months I spent with her . kind hearted and affectionate people. Especially of those in whose eternal interests I became so deeply concerned and wonder if they will ever receive Him who died for them. Or will they continue to “dance” life away while a world is being lost and they with it. Very Sincerely Your Friend, John M. Leonard. ISLAND ITEMS. Wm. N. Manchester, of Tracy, Sundayed on the Island. I wonder what makes those sorrel trav- , el east so much. . Some say what’s the matter with Jerry. . Why! He’s all right! i It has snowed for three Sundays in succession. What will it do next. । There are twelve inches of snow on the level; so ; we will have’some sledding once > more. ! Peter McCune and wife went toLaPorte Monday with the horse and buggie and were snow-bound. Our Island weather prophet claims that it will snow, rain and hail and be cold, warm or indifferent weather the rest of ’ this month. Ws had one of the worst blizzards of the season last Tuesday. The roads are badly drifted at this writing- They are impassible in places. Jerry. , [from another correspondent.] I A jumping jack—a kicking donkey. > Miss Callie Blain visted at homo last ' Sunday.

Five persons were baptized at the Is--1 land enurch last Sunday by being spriuk--1 led. A young blipsards gave us a pleasant call this week to remind us that it is wiu- ' ter yet.

Mrs. P.

It J looks like it might be true at present. t TalK it up! An agriculture association! 3 To be sure it would be a great benefit to r Walxerton and vicinity to have an en- • terprise of this kind right at home. Come, ’ now, don’t let the thing drop, brethren. > The protracted meeting at the Island • church closed last Monday night, with : good results. Eighteen new members have been added to the church and about 1 , , the same number reclaimed, or in other t words back slided, have come to the front • again. Tyler ty'Sercity.

It is said that a bill lias passed the lower house of the Indiana Legislature, providing for the organization of teachers’ institues in every township in the state. The meetings must be held at least once per month and-the teachers attending will receive the same pay as for teaching. If they are absent they forfeit two days’ pay. There is no reason, apparently, for believing but that the proviso is a worthy one, as the teacher’s fitness or capability, to ad« dress the individual mind, goes beyond the mere formula, so to speak, of an educat’on. These institues, where the thoughts of the teachers’ are exchanged, regarding their profession, must necessarily he pro ductive in bringing out to a point of prac tice, the real me rits of an instructor, if he or she be the happy possessor of that qualification, Tho Samoan question was discussed in the U. S. senate Wednesday, Senator Dolph making tho open speech. He wanted a restoration of the statu quo. Senator Reagan did not want war, but he wants American citizens and interests protected. The correspondence in the matter was transmitted to congress by the president- One letter from Bismarck to the German consul at Washington as serts that Germany will proceed in Samoa as it has in the past.
