TnE JArASEsE EMBAssY.--The
Washington Constitution, of the
27tb, says:
We understand that Mr.. Harris,
our Minister at Japan, has strongly
recommended that the embassy from
that country should first lend at
the city of Washington, and not at
New York, as he thinks that the
ambassadors and their suite should
not be brought into contract with
such immense crowds as will sur
round them in New York, until they
get somewhat used to the new peo-
Pile whom they come to visit. II
IS also understood that the ambass.
adors prefer to be presented to and
received by the President before
they make any ceremonious visits.
We are informed that instructions
have, in consequence, been given
for the Roanoke to touch at Hamp-
ton Roads, and, as she cannot come
up the Potomac, that the persons
composing the embassy take pas
sage on a suitable steamer and be
conveyed Immediately to Wash
ington.

MADNESS IN PARIs.--The Ga
sette des Tribenaur says;
II was recently stated that three
mad persons had been arrested in one
single day, two of them for attempt.

Emperor. Yesterday three other Ia.
nstics were taken into custody, also
for endeayoriBg 10 enter the palace. =
One was commercial clerk; he
rang loudly in the night the bell of
tho gate dc fBcbelle, and when the
concierge presented himself he said,
"l only want to say good morning to
the Emperor, for whom | left my
card yesterday, and TO show him a
work on the PHYSICAL constitution Of
the globe, which l have written r.
The concierge, seeing that he was out
of his mind handed him over TO the
police, and the poor man was led
away without resistance. The so.
cond was farmer of Acy. on Mullen,
in the Disc, who wanted to show tho
Emperor some turnips, in the cult.

made great progress; and third was
a cook.maid. who pretended that she
had particular secret for roasting
fowls, and that if the Emperor would
only eat her dishes he would assure
the prosperity OF France. The three
persons had been placed in a lunatic
asylum. .f

DISCOVERY or THE TUsK OF A
MAsropoN.--The laborers engaged
in excavating the ruffDer lot, on the
north side of Third street, between
Plum and Elem streets, Yesterday
discovered tusk, or what is thought
to be the tusk of mastodon, of such
immense size as TO render il valua-r
BILE geological specimen. II was
found about twenty feet below the
surface, embedded in gravel bank,
the large end protruding upward. 1t
measured about % feet in length,
and 20 inches in surcumference.-
Unfortunately, about Is inches of the
smaller end was broken off and car
RED away by persons anxious to pos
sess some portions Of this natural Gu
riosity. Mr., Abern, who fell heir TO
the treasure, fearing that the whole
would be borne off, sent the tusk to
his house, but those having it in
charge were careless, and broke it in
to pieces.
The outside or shell Of the tusk is
so hard as enamel, while the inside is
OF the consistency of chalk aud as
white. On exposure to the air this
will become hard. No other remains
OF an animal have yet been found

THE JAPANESE EMBASSY 1t is
reported that orders have beer issued
from the Navy Department that when
the Roanoke arrives she shall go to
Hampton Roads, whence the japan
csc Embassy will be conveyed to
Washington TO be formally received
by the President, before visiting 9th
er parts of the country. Respect aud
etiquette demand that this course
should be pursued.
IL is 10 be regretted, that they have
no works on etiquette in Japan, and
no elegant expounders Of fashion, like
Beau Brummel aud the Count. II
is already foreshadowed that we will
make blunders, which may be serious
IL not fatal to the new friendly rela
tions, with our outside kinsmen. A
book on etiquette, sent in advance of
the Roanoke would have prevented
what we look for with trembling

HuNBuG. Among the many a.
sues of base coin which from time
to time were made in Ireland. there
was none to be compared in worth
lessness TO that made 10y James II,
at the Dublin Mint. 1t was com.
posed of anything on which he
could lay his hands, such as lead,
pewter, copper and brass, and so
low its intrinsic value that twenty
shlllings of il was only worth
twopence sterling. William III. n
few days after the battle of the
Boyne, ordered that the crowupiece
aud haltcrown should be taken as
one penny and one halfpenny,
respectfully. The soft mixed met
al of which that worthless coin was
composed, was known among the
Irish as Uim bog, pronsunced Dom
bug, |. o. solt copper, !. c. worthless
money! and in the course OF their
dealings the mnJcrh use Of the
word hUmbUg took it's rise. M in
the phrases, That's n pieoc Of ujm-
bug" "Dou't think TO pass Of your
Himbug on me" Hence the word
humbUg came to be applied to any
thing that had specious appear

the very opposite Of hambug, i. c.

Great Britain, as sterling coin stey-
