THK FOUEION l'HE8S IK JAPAH. It in the ohamo of the times that the foreign press of Japan hold firm In their conctont attncko upon the gov ernment and itu capacity , constantly mpugning Us honesty and alms , thereby sowing the seeds of suspicion and discontent in the minds of the Japanese people. As censors of what should bo , as well aa what is , it is but natural that the Japanese press should become tinctured with the teaching * of the foreign proas , and oapeclally that portion that is in opposition to the government ns now established , and which is cliunnring for representa tive government and the olootivo fran chise. The foreign nrosa of Japan sooma to bo poi&csaod with a spirit that Is near being pestiferous , and are constantly growling at the govern ment. Ono exception there is in the Japan Mall ; sometimes it can discover that it can commend , and bucauno It docs sometimes BO commond'tho other papers charge that it is venal aud sub sidized , and not at ull to bo conoldored a reliable exponent of the truth.

It ia to bo hoped that Christian nggreislon in attempt ing to proaelyto the Ooreani may not precipitate matters. It would bo greatly to the advantage ot the for eign populationa settled in the far E st If all clerical and missionary work were confined to the sphere of the demands of the foreign resi dents. ' The sooner the grand scheme of attempting to convert the peoples from their religious notions can be abandoned , the better. This may seem ultra anil conflict with the aspirations of the churches , yet It must bo the candid opinion cf all who have watched the missionary operrtions In this country , The peoples of the far emit , especial I j of Japan , are not untaught tavages 01 cannibals ; they have a religion thai is founded upon a rock older than thai of Christianity , but the bant ) therooi is as broad and comprehensive a lo needed for the structure , and the todohlngi of its fonndora rs subllmn as any to DO found inculcated by Ohrist himself , and possibly the deviation from the cardinal principles taught by Oonfuclua and the Buddhists has iiol boon moro marked than has happened in the Christian church. Ono divine injunction is not infringed by the people plo of Japan they swear not at all. No ontha are in their vocabulary , The extremity of tholr awoarlng le reached when they call a man a beast. They damn no man's eyes , neither dc they cutso tholr God. THE TWO ncuaioNS. If an unprejudiced umpire wore tc arbitrate between the religion of the west and that of the far east , posslblj ho oauld find as ranch to admire in thi ono as in the other. It is a fact thai the larger number of those on the ground in thu far east look upon the missionary outorprlse as a most tro moudous waste of rollglona zeal though a good thing for the mlsslonarj who cornea to labor among the Japan oso. oso.There are those who assutt that the relations between Japan and Chiut a o strained to the verge of breaking No doubt the wish ia father to the thought ; bui those who nhould know boat nro not aware of any suspicion o ( roublo between the two'govcrnmontfl , There is nothing to warrant _ the aa < sortlon that trouble ia brewing ; bul tbo Japanese , as well as the Onlnoso , are acting on the motto , "In time oi peace proparo'for ' war , " The Chinese have boon strengthening , their nayj and the Japanese are about to do the snmo thing by the purchasa of wat vessels in Europe nnd the construe tlon of others ia their own docfe yards , X , THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM. Down the Mloaleslppl Tno , Neirrc Roustabouts on n , Ootton Stoamor. New Yotk Sun. NEW OHLEANH , February 4 , Life on a Mississippi Htoamboat ia monoton ous. Winding in sinuous curves , the mighty river flown through a ooono of almost absolute desolation , There are tbickota of cottonwood trees on both Iho loir shores of the rlvor. Newly formed bars are covered with a donco growth of young trees not moro than six or eight foot high , the growth of the previous summer. As socn from thu pilot house , the younft forests standing on newly formed land pre sent distinct terraced Unco , rising ono obovo the other far back to the main land. The terraces mark the annual growth of the bar and of tbo trees with which natnro socks to protect the bank the river has created In obedionoo to her laws. . At _ long in tervals , plantations are seen on the rlvor shores , At long intervals , ill- built , foul-smelling , and dirty towns are seen. At short intervals , on cither bank are the shabby buildings that are erected at most of the steam boat landings. TheBo consist , generally - ally , of a otoro and a dwelling house ; occasionally there ia a email Freight house , in which any goods received - coivod for the planters that could pro- sumab'y bo injured by lying in the tnnd or being rained on nro stored. Those landings usually belong tonomo ieighboringprantation ) , and , if not icoptby the owners , are rented toother oarticji , who keep littloacockaof , cheap goods and provisions nnd a foir barrels ) f mean whisky t ; trade fo the no- ; roos. Another source of revenue It oil of 25 cents per bale of cotton or leavy package , nnd 10 cants per hand uckngo charged for every package hipped or received. Many cf the ( Hiding whoee building ! would not ell for $600 , rent for from $1OOD to 13,000 per year. . Bick from the rlvor , behind the ovee nnd beyond the forest line bor dering the banks , are the houses and cotton fields of the planter ? , Many , udoed most of thoao houses are far inporlor to the farm houses of the tforth , They resemble the summer iqusoa built in thy country by rich northern men. The grounds around these residences are generally well kept. Scattered broadcast ever the laud are the negro cabins. These are no longer built in long rows , as wan the case in the days of slavery. The now order of renting land to the no- groca has necessitated the breaking up of the plantation village. The stories the pilots and boat offi cials relate no to the swinging to and fro of the river through the alluvial soil , hero devouring land by the acre and piblna by the score , and there building up land and adding to the acreage of plantations , are appalling to men who have a firm bollof in the stability of real estate At any point on the river an old Captain or pilot can tell , and truthfully toll , of great cotton fields once cultivated over where the boat la then moving. As I atood on the deck of the steamer , watching a flock of wild ducks feeding on a bar , a planter with whom I had been talking touched my arm to attract my attention , and when I turned to him he\ said : ' < When I was 12 years' old I killed my first bear on a new plantation my father was then cutting out of a forest that grow directly over tho. waters of this bend , " indicating with sweeping arm the waters wo wore steaming over. Aitor n short pause ho added : "That was a mighty good plantation , and thete were n right smart of bears there , too. " I looked around In bewildered amazement. There was a oottonwood-covered bar on ono side of-'ho rlvor , and a. high bank surmounted with largo oak trees on the othor. I could BOO no sign of a plantation. "Looking for the plan tation ? " my acquaintance inquired. "Yes , " I replied. "That 1,000 acres of ootton land went Into the Mississ ippi river years ago. Houses , cabins , everything excepting the personal property slid into the rlvor and disap peared forever. Those oaks" pointing to the trees on the bank , " were two miles from the river when I was a boy , " ho explained , In reply to my question aa to the valuoof the land ho said : "When wo owned the nigger * it waa worth 9100 per acre. " The loss of property caused by the erratic swinging to and fro of the Mississippi foots np to an enormous sum. During the season of ootton shipping - ping largo steamers ply between Now Orleans and "tho bonds. " The steamers pool tholr receipts and dis trict off the rlvor. The great cotton producing region la "tho benda , " and the largest steamers on the rlvor are engaged in carrying the ootton bales from that region to the expert port of Now Orleans These steamers also carry passengers. They are fitted np very comfortably , and the boats are far cleaner and much moro sweet smelling than any of the hotels in the lower Mississippi valley. These stoamora are managed by black roust abouts , who are hired in Now Orleans for the round trip at a certain price per day , which varies as to the cotton crop. In prodnotlvo seasons , when the prlco is satisfactory to the pro ducer , and every landing Is crowded with cotton b&les awaiting shipment , and every planter ia anxloui to eel ) , the boats are driven to thulr utmost speed , and the work of the rousta bouts It. most arduous. Then they recolvo as high us $5 a day ; but the usual wages are from $2 50 to S3 pei day and board. The day is 24 hours hng. A bout froitfittn ? from "the bonds" to New Orleans during the busy season carries about 80 rousta bouts. Those men are armed with cotton hooks , with which they handle the cotton bales , two men to a bale , which they roll down the gang plank and into the interior of the boat , where the hot air ia doubly heated by the furnaces supplying hent to the Immense boilers. The hold filled , the ootton Ia plied , tier on tier , high above the lower deck , and in some Instance ! on a lorol with the top of the white oafi/ ( A largo steamer can carry 7,00tbalcn. .

They work under the di- rootlon of the first mate , a whlto man , of oourtc , who has a gruff voioo and a hickory club. They work on the jump. They inovo on the ran. They are iteadily sworn at , and the leant Biijn of insubordination la promptly quelled * < y the active mate , whom cotiatant practice has made perfect in club ox er cine. ThoBO mates are snappy , nervy men. Tney ate oftuu shot at or otherwise injured by the negroet ; but they iil ya "get away with the nigger.

Two , throe , , four miles , and then the hoatso whistle of the atoamer rpaonnds throughout the damp , heavy air. Instantly all hands are on their foot , alert and active. If It la night a blaze of light ahoota forth from the oleotrlo lamp1) , and all is light as day. The boat swings to the shore ; the Im mense gang planks are Iqwered. The Instant the plank touches the land a Bolumn of black men run np it , and before the loot man has sot hit. .foot on ihore the firat men are rolling cotton bales down the plank. There la no einglng over this work.

And there may bo a few packages of merchandise or some "plunder" belonging to black emi grants to bo discharged or shipped ; but of work thorn ienono.l [ | f After the last landing above Now Orleans has boon made , the roustabouts march to the outside of the office to receive the pay duo them for the trp. The bar- tcocpor la in the office with his account book. The mate is there with his blmo book and' his club. Ho calls through the open window , into which many palra of jjblaok ojcs inquiringly lee * , the name of the man on the head of his Hat and the amont due him. The barkeeper calla out the sum the man owes him for whisky. That amount is deducted from the roustabout's wages , and the remainder [ s handed to the mate , who counts it bo satisfy himaolf that it is correct. Then glancing at the negro whose outstretched hand is thrust into the office , ho drops the silver pieces into his palm generally , accompanying with a pleasant remark. Those mates ibuiQ and knock the negroes about , aut hfj' see that justice la done .to them , and they allow no others to ibuie their hands. The negro grins m reply , and hastens below deck. Ho jlambors over cotton bales in eager lasto to the moss room of the rousta bouts , and there ho prepares to play "craps , " the national game of Africa. As the other hands are paid , they , ; oo , eagerly clamberpvor the cotton sales , and the game is at once begun. "Oraps" la played with dice. They are shaken in the closed hand , and with a swing of the hand is opened and the dice roll down the dirty table. Tha ; ame , I am aahamo to say , surpasses ; he mental power of white men to- grasp. I met no white man who un derstood it , and I utterly failed to un derstand the explanations of the o- groer. This la the more humiliating M a "wild nigger , " fresh from an al ligator awamp , thoroughly under- itands the game , nnd plays it skill fully. The edge of the fiery desire that possesses all black roustabouts to Zambia is taken off with "craps ; " then Spanish monte and seven up are indulged in , and the gambling never ceases until all tbo money la in the pockets ot five or six of the most expert - pert Ramblers. Those men rush from tha boat the instant it touches the whaif at New Orleans , and haaten to the lair of the tiger. When they es- : ape from the clutches of that animal they are penniless. The men are paid uff before the boat arrives at Now Or leans for the avowed purpose of having them gamble and lose their money , so that they will bo ready to ahlp again. Smoking is strictly prohibited out side of the cabins on all atoamera when they are loaded with ootton. Preeminent in enforcing this rule are the black roustabouts. Stories are told of their throwing black offenders Into the river for this wrong that endangers - dangers the life of ov'ory ' person onHho boat , The .negroes dread a fire I suppose they realize that they would have to stand back until all the white people were rescued , and that their chmico of escaping would bo very small. I naked tha mate if his steamer had over been on fire. Ho told mo It had. I wai curious to know how the blacks behaved in the presence of so crave n danger , and inquired. "Well , " he replied , "tho lust fire broke out in the hold , canned by some dock passenger smok ing. When the negroes caw the smoke curling up from the bales they be came panto stricken at once. They rushed forward to where I was stand ing , crying "Fin I fire ! fire ! " I shout ed to the pilot to keep the boat in the mlddlo of the river ; Ithen , turning to the negroes , I told them they could fight fire , roast , or drown. I clubbed them Into oEedionca. In less than two minutes we had the hose l Id and four streams of water playing. I tool nine bales of burning cotton out oi - f 4 the hold and extinguished the fire in lisa than ton minutes , How thoie niggers bragged ! Whim they realized that their lives depended on their subduing the lire , they fought with reckless determination. If the boat had over touched shore , or even got near enough to mtko the attempt to swim to it through this cold water probably successful , every man of thorn would have loft the otenmor , and aha would have boon lost.

RINGS FOB BRIDES. Concerning the Prices , Hlzo and Style of the Charmed Circlet. From a Chat with ft New York Jeweller. Are wedding rings expensive ) Well no ; they vary In price , but the dearest of them wouldn't break a comparative ly poor man. This is the cheapest wo h < tvd , fourteen carats and not very thick , and it only coats $4. This again is the most expensive I have in stock , weight tolerably heavy , yon sec ; is of the finest gold used for manufacturing purposes , twenty-two carat and costs $15. Seems almost too heavy to wear doem't it ? Bat a ring that would gall and weigh down a woman's finger wouldn't be unsuitable to oome mar riages after all. Yes , I sell quite a few of the cheaper ones. You would naturally think that as a man only buys one , or at most two such articles in the course of his life , ho would not mind spending a few dollars on it , But that's aonordiuR to how they feel , too. too.Some Some men aren't overburdened with sentiment. Why , a man bought a ring in September hut , haggled over ; he price , and chose one at $7. Day before last Snnda y he came' in and wanted the size altered straight way. He was dressed in mourning and look ed like a Iwell-to-do clerk. He ex plained that his first wife had died in November , and he was going to bo married again on Christmas day , aud is the ring was "hardly worn" he thought it was no use buying another. Rings are broader and heavier than they were thirty years ago , but as a rule the purchasers' choice is guided Eretty ranch according to how the lady jela about it. They say that in Eng land the thin , old fashioned ring is coming in again ; but in New York , as C Bay , the ladles , mostly prefer a rather broad and heavy one , and before mar riage , anyhow , a man generally is guided by bis future wife's inclinations trad everything is done according to how aho feels about it.
