tions.
"Yeddo is large city of two story wood
en- buildings. The streets are generally
wide and well severed, but are not paved.
1t is probable that the population is between
I,5oo 900 and 1000 900. There is neither
beauty nor sPlendor to be found there. The
exterior of the houses is the same as those
you saw at Simoda and Kanagawa, aud the
interiors are quite as destitute of furniture
or ornament. Even the palace of the En-
beror is built OF unpainted wood, and is
equally bare Of any furniture. The golden
columns and roofs spoken of by old writer's
have vanished, il they ever existed, and aul
assured by the japanese that their buildings
and mode of living are precisely the same
that they have been for the last FIVE hum

on his death it was found that his property
in this country and Germany amounted to
the large sum of $75o,oo0. By his will it
is provided that the money shall be deposited
