Four days after the interview, the
presents were interchanged, time hav-

their reception. Those for the Empe-

a railway with steam engine; an
electric telegraph; surf boat; a life
boat; a aprinting press; fine lorenette;
set of Audubon's American Orni-
thology, splendidly bound; plates Of
American Indians; maps of different
States Of America; agricultural imple-

OF the other presents, perhaps the
one most valued was copy of Web

Imperial interpreters. To the high of,
6cers were given books, rifles, pistols,
swords, wines, cloths, maps, stoves,

they fully appreciated, and, as regards
clocks, when it was proposed to bring an
engineer from shipboard to set them
agoing, the Japanese said there was no
occasion for that, for they had clock
makers in Yeddo who understood them
perfectly. They were curious to know,
however, about Ericsson's caloric en-
gine, of which they had heard, but,
from the Commodore at any rate, we
suspect they would not receive very
favorable opinion of its practical utility.

Value Of Bones.

1t is sometimes said, that pasturine inya.
riably improves the soil This is not true
though it frequently does partially restore il
after severe cropping, to the * ent, at lcas,
of enabling it to bear better crops than the
last taken from it. But that one or more Of
its fertlizing ingredients may be abstrlcted
even to the extent Of n considerable decree
of impovershmcnt, is conclusively shown
in the extensive grazing fields of Cheshire
England.
This is favoritc dairy region, which has
given an enyiable character to the chccs
that bears its name. 1t has, for hundreds Of
years, been devoted to the pasturarc of
cows, whose milk has been converted into
cheese, and sent to distant market. Few
persons would suspect that the daily re.
moyal of those portions Of the soil convert
bic into milk, must be felt in the soil, even
after the lapse of centuries. Yet, the phos.
pherate Of lime, of which milk contains con.
siderable proportions, is abs,ractcd in su, h
quantities, that the productivness of those
rich feeding grounds has been materially
lessened.
Prof Johnston says that pastures, which
before this application, rented mt IS. per
acre, have paid 40s; and left tho tenant am
Pile remuneration for his labor. Il is TINS
that the of derided discoveries Of scicnc.
so richly repay their advocates.

BLUcuER.-When old Blucher was III
England he was invited to Oxford to have
a doctors degree conferred upon him.
The fierce dragoon was as much amazed
rs delighted at the idea Of the honor, and
introducing another Prussian general,
who had been his right-hand man in al
his campaigns, observed, in broken En-
gIish, to the vice chancellor, "Sir, if am
doctor, this is my apothecary." But
the veteran made better hit than that,
before the day was over. At an evening
party given on the occasion, amongst 9TH
ers pes Mt was a lady, of whom it WAS
sometimes whispered that she did not be-
long t" temperance society. We dare
say this was all malice, but on this even
ing it did unfortunately happen that she
was in very high spirits. "Who is that
lady !" said Butcher, fixing his eve on
her. "Tha; is Miss Sparkle, the daugh-
ter Of one OF our canons," was the answer;
at which the shocking old Field Marshal
lhundered forth, with roaring laugh,
"a connon's daughter! BY Jove, though
so, she looks so very aCeU CHARGED" The
charge was probably grape.
