Depu..ture of the Japanese from Baltimore.
TWO SWORDS STOLEN FROM A MEMBER OF THE
EMBASSY
The Japanese Ambassadors left Baltimore for
Philadelbha on the 10th inst. From the Sun we
extract the following:
Although it cannot be said with truth that the
| populace here tiekled the ears of the Japanese
with straws, or took the pipes from their mouths
it is to be regretted thatsom theving or malicious
person married the pleasure OF the visit by renl0Y
| ing two swords belonging to one OF the embassy.
| The swords were taken from the bedroom while
| the occupant was on the balcony looking at the
| fire works on Friday night. Both swords were en-
cased, and the bits beautifully enamelea and
| carved.
| AS it is exceedingly DESTROYS that the swords
should be recovered, a reward of $50 has been
| offered by the Board of Police Commissioners Tor
| their return to either Marshal Kane or Mayor
| Swami The possessor Gun possibly neither ex-
bibit or dispose of them without detecflOn and It
is more than likely that they will be recovered. 1t
| is said that of the swords worn BY members
/ of the embassy are eighteen hundred years old,
| being handed down through successive generations
| improved by age Those lost are several Centuries
old. The wearer of two swords can resent an m
/ suit, the wearer of one sword cannot.
The matter is greatly to be regretted, as in add-
| ton to the dscredit the Japanese will attach to
our nation on account of it, the loser will be sub
jeet to severe censure in his own country should
he return without his insignia Of office, or rank.
They received much attention on the journey to
| Philadelphia. as the following dispatches show:
