THE FaATERNAL CRY.
We have, oh, esteemed Hakodadi, leil the
residence Of the SlycoOn, and have at last
arrived at the great city Of Fee-la-del-Fee.-
We were placed at Washington in long wooden
boxes, with holes IN the sides, similar 10 those
used 10 Japan for the conveyance Of Ambas-
sadors, and in these were transported to n
city called Bawlt-e-mor. This is noun
famous city, and Is governed by a wariike
tribe called Plug-Uglies Ailer remaining
here day We were again placed In boxes
and carried with great speed to the city we
have so long desired to see. Il is iavorably
situated for trade, being directly opposite the
Island Of Smith, and bat short distance from
the great Island OF Tin-e-kum, The inhabi-
tants are much engaged in manufactures
principally OF ready-made clothing and med
icines. These il IS the province Of their poets
10 extol. They do not manufacture silk, not
having the worm of China; but they are in-
Producing another worm, which Is fed on the
trees bordering the public streets-of these
we saw great numbers.
The principal teachers Of the art OF medi-
cine reside here; they are acquainted with
certain harhar0us modes Of treatment, in
which they have great skill Torelieve their
patients from pain they cut OFF their arms or
legs. Fortunately men are not so few in the
dominiOns Of the Tycoon, rs 70 oblige US TO
resort TO this cruel expedient to prolong life.
The operation Of opening the bowels (hari-

lie, they do not seem to be acquainted with.
The physicians are not Obliged 70 shave their
heads, and there is no mode Of Distinguishing
them from eOuneilmen, 6remen, or other high
officials; no distinction Of rank seems 10 be
known here, and at several of their entertain
ments more than one of the inferior officers
OF the Embassy was thought to be "Semi-
Bouzy."
The great /" Mikadon or spiritual Emperor
is now here, but being "naboen, We are not
permitted 10 PROSTATE ourselves before him.
He resides many days journey from here, in
a valley among the mountains, in a province
called ''Yeo-tau. Unlike the Sly-Coon be
has many wives, and is called by his wOr-
shippers in obedience TO one Of his sacred
precepts, s. Bring-Em- Yung.p He was lately
at war with the Sly-Coon, and compelled him
70 spend much money in his country before
he would consent to be pardoned. The
MikadO does not, as in our happy country,
regulate the religion of all the people, but
each one believes what he likes. All the
sects believe that those who differ from them
will be damned; but they are prevented by
law from trying to avert their fate. This is
called liberation. ltdOes not apply tOstrang-
ers, who are constantly ehristianized by means
Of slavery or annexation. They all aclznow
ledge the power of one deity, who is called
4" Mammon," Every day in the week, but
one is devoted to his worship; on that day
they are forbidden by law TO do anything they
do on any other day.
It is in this city that they make the gold,
silver and copper money. Their coins, even
Of the same value, are different in size and
color, are differently stamped; it is. therefore,

The impressions on them are very poor, much
worse than any foreign coin we have SEEN
they have but one place to make
this kind Of money, paper money is made
everywhere. Its value depends on the faith
of its pOssessOrs.
We have been treated here with great
kindness and have received many presents,
one of great value to be delivered to the TY-
coon, to be preserved in the Sacred Temple of
Buddha, it is called ''The History of the Hi
hernia Engine Company" This is a sect Of
fire wOrshippers much esteemed and feared
by the people The influence of these fire
worshippers is SO great that many citizens
now permit their buildings to be consumed
by that sacred element, rather than have
them saved by water. We visited building
called the State House, which is esteemed sa-
cred, as it contains the bell which calls the
FIRE worsmppers to the performance of their
duties. Il is here also, that room is kept
where fire pilgrims from other lands are re-
ceived with great honor.
It would, however, take too much Of the
short time permitted us ioF repose, for me to
describe all / have seen aud heard. I have
stolen these few moments from some ladies
who have been seeing my head shaved, and
are now waiting 10 examine the other opera
