THE LATE JAPANESE EMBAssY-The New
York Times has Il pleasant description of the
+, conduct of the japanese, on their way in the
revenue cutter from the city to the frigate
Niagara. Itsays:
Seated aft, in their mystic, invariable order,
they demeaned themselves in a perfectly
courteous manner, but ph egmatic;llly looked
straight before them, refusing to become eX-
cited in the least over the idea that they were
leaving America forever. a faint glance of
curiosity was all they vouchsafed to the
Great Eastern when her monster hulk lOomed
hugely above TIE Lanes smoke-pipe. Pass
ing by numberiess ferry boats and tugs, sa-
lnte-whistles and cheers were interchanged
One steamer in the East River was thronged
with passengers, who made loud call for
Tommy. Alderman Boele accoi dinghy ele-
waited the reluctant Talaiesi above the gum
vale, while the voyagers gave him three
cheers. He came down with wink in his
eye and a very funny smile IN the corner OF
his mouth, while the Censor of The Embassy
shook his head with an expression that plain
ly said, "Once let me Ca tch you out OF SIGHT OF
land my boy, and I'll warrant you an end OF
this nonsense"
The yards of the Niagara were manned with
seamen, who gave three hearty cheers. Ma
rines were drawn up in file on her lofty quar-
ter deck, and the guns on The poop fired the
I'm bas sador's salute. The steaniug Hunt
ress lay in between, and planks were thrown
from both the war steamers that the pas
sengers could pass over her deck 10 the Ma
CARA.
Just as they were preparing to do so, and
as the fifty japanese attendants, who were
asleep or smoking above and below, had been
reused to a sense of the transfer about to be
made, a squall came bowling over the waters
from the West, while the sun, half behind
and peering from the clouds, lit up the whole
Bay with IA spTayey, billowy, breezy, Turner
esque effect For moment, all was clamor
aud grand excitement. The wind Whistled
through the cordage of the larger vessel, and
the three hundred jackets on the guards had
hard work to cling 10 their places. Down was
the word, and down they came like SO many
monkeys, while hats, streamers and wIndsaIls
went to leeward. Another moment and the
squalI was over. The fife and drum sounded
merriIy again, and the entire party mounted
from the Harriet Lane TO the gun-deck of the
Niagara.
Capt. Mexican of the latter vessel, received
the japanese at the hands of Capt. Dupon t,
who stated that he here considered his special
mission ended. aud transferred the custody OF
The Embassy to the officers of the larger
steamer. In answer to this, Capt. Mexican
shook hands with the princes and officers,
and welcomed them in bluff, hearty,
sailor like style. All hands then proceeded 10
the quarters of the Embassy-which are luxu-
rious enough TO please monarch-and the
captains saloon, where, as in the Ward-room,
refreshments were provided tor the occasion.
Then ensued great Misunderstanding, and many
utterances of "good-bye." and ssionada. Last
of all, Tommy, drawing aside one of his
American friends. betrayed two almond-eyes
suffused with dewy tears. "O,'' he said, 81
very sorry to go L love America very much.
| Made many friends here. Very kind gentle
men, very beautiful ladies. l remember them
all in my own country. Be sure L come back.
some time. Goodbye, my friend! Seionada.' -

poor boy would be on his voyage; how ne

had penetrated to the ward-room, and as
