DURHAM, N. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1889.
Valedictory.
The time has come to say fare
well,; and we assure our readers that
it is with emotions of sadness we
approach the separation. For four
teen months we have striven to pro
mote what we considered the best
interests of Durham, and with this
issue our labors in the present field
are at an end, and The Plant passes
out of existence, reminding us that
there is d termination to all things
earthly.
Being human, and laying no claim
to infallibility, we have probably
made some mistakes. We ask that
the mantle of forgetfulness be thrown
around our errors and that we shall
be remembered for whatever of good
we have been enabled to accomplish.
We have tried to be steadfast to
principle and" have no dirt to eat
now, but at times we have, perhaps,
been misunderstood and at times we
have been charged with that for which
we were not responsible. But, be this
as it may, we feel that we can say
we have never in these columns
done any of our citizens an inten
tional injustice and we have always
stood ready to make amends for
any wrong which we may have oth
erwise done, and it is now our desire
to lay down our pen at peace with
all. !
What the future has in store for
us we know not. We are surrounded
by uncertainty. We returned to
Durham with the expectation that
permanent employment was before
us. In this we have been disap
pointed and hence we cannot .now
say where our lot will be cast.
We heartily appreciate and return
sincere thanks for the many courte
sies we have received during our so
journ in Durham and we assure our
friends that their kindness shall not
be forgotten. Farewell.

A Letter from Kev. G. P. Bostick,
Missionary to China Descrip
tion oi His Trip as Far as Yo
kohama. On Board Steamship, Jul v 2, IS 89.
Dear Messrs. Editors : I thought
a line, from me might interest some
of your readers. Wc came across
the continent from St. Louis to San
Francisco, May the 27th to 31st.
Our country is an astonishingly great
one great in area, in mountains,
valleys, rivers, cities and much
greater in deserts than I ever had
any idea of. For hours and hours in
Utah, Colorado and California we
rode and could see nothing but bar
ren plains. I suppose we traveled
at one time more than one thousand
miles without seeing good timber
enough to build a single house of
almost nothing to be seeu except a
kind of thistle and sedge.
I had often read of the Rocky
Mountains, but had found no true
conception of their grandeur as they
lift their craggy bald heads aloft to
ward the skies.
For nearly three days we were at
times in sight of snow on these lofty
peaks. We ran near enough to some
of it on the last day of May to get it
and eat it. This was delightful.
At San Francisco we remained
four days. It is a great city, with
some beautiful and magnificent
scenes. One of the parks here, high
above the sea, is the prettiest I ever
saw. It is the property of an in
dividual. F'rom San Francisco we sailed
June 4th. We had aboard about
twenty cabin passengers and most of
us soon came to know each other
pretty well, which made it pleasant.
Soon after we pulled out from
shore, the old steamer began to toss,
as though the sea were displeased
with.its burden. Some of our officers
told us that this was smooth sailing,
and some of us secretly hoped that
we would have no rough weather.
But she rolled and rolled until one
by one the passengers began to yield
to the motion and soon themselves
were in a commotion. Most of us
were sick, more or less, for the first
day and night, but none, I believe,
sick enough to die. Mrs. Bostick
was least sick of all of us, except the
baby she was well and happy all
the time. After the first two days
we had an unusually pleasant voyage
sea smooth, weather pleasant, and
all happy and cheerful.
We came out of the usual route
by Sandwich Islands, and stopped
a few hours at Honolulu. ' It is a
beautiful city, level, crouched down
between the mountains and the sea.
Here they have almost all kinds of
tropical growth in the greatest luxu
riance. We took on here a good
supply of watermelons, cantaloupes,
oranges, bananas, limes, mangoes,
etc., and feasted on good things for
the rest of the journey. There are
English and American people living
at Honolulu, besides the natives and
a great many Chinamen.
We reached Yokohama the 2Gth
of June, too late for last week's
steamer for Shanghai. So we had
a' it : fiu:
bume lime iu see sumeiuiug ui inisg
beautiful "land of the rising sun." I
It is truly a beautiful and pictur
esque land. Yokohama is a city
made of many foreigners and the
natives. The Pnglish people live
on what is called the Bluffs. It is a
long range of hills, overlooking the
bay, and covered with the most
beautiful homes and yards. They
are exceedingly handsome and well
kept. All kinds of tropical plants
and flowers grow in these yards in
great abundance.
The natives live in small low
houses, built of only one thickness of
Hplank, or of bamboo. They live in
the simplest style no cnairs,
no beds or tables or any kind
of furniture in their houses. Of
course they live very cheaply. Their
dress, too, is simple and inexpensive
though very odd to us. Many go
clad almost as they came into the
world many of the children alto
gether so.
Most of the riding in towns and
cities here is done in jinrikishas.
These are small two-wheeled top
buggies, a little higher than a large
baby carriage, with shafts between
which a man gets and draws it. It
is astonishing how rapidly they can
travel often passing the few horses
you see on the street. When you
want them for several hours, they
go for S sen (about ol cents) an
hour. If you want to go a trip of a
mile it is 10 sen for the trip. Thou
sands of men in the large cities are
engaged in this business.
I spent one day in Tokyo, the
capital, a city of about 000,000 peo
ple. Here are many things of in
terestsome of them sadly inter
esting. We saw people in the tem
ple worshiping idols real images.
May this darkness soon be dispelled
by the light of Christ-
We left Yokohama at noon to-day
and hope to reach Shanghai about
next Sunday. From there we will
go as soon as we can to Chefoo,
which will be our postofiice. God
bless all the people who read this
and help them to live and work for
Jesus. Truly, G. P. Bostick.
