The Japanese Embassy.


The japanese presents opened this morning Tor
inspection and then transferable the naval commission
to be delivered privately to the President in the name
of bis Imperial Majesty the Tycoon. The articles are
of most magnificent description, saddles richly en-
broidered and embossed with gold and silver, bed cur
tains and bed screens similar to those used by the
Princes of Japan, and ingeniously elaborated two
swords, such as are worn by the Princes of Japan,
superior to any ever manufactured in this country or
France; paper hangings, ornamented with goldi
lacquered ware, including writingcases and lot OF
valuable miscellaneous articles all of them exhibiting
the most refined taste and advanced artistic SKILL and
superior to any which has been brought to this country
from Asia.
This is the opinion Of those who had the privilege OF
infinitely examining these valuable presents The
Embassy have accepted the invitation Of the New
York and Philadelphia Municipal Committees to visit
those cities but have fixed no time for this purpose.
The Naval Commissioners will give the authorities
four or five days notice. that they may make proper
arrangements for their reception. The japanese will
probably visit the Capitol Saturday, and during
the next week, the other public buildings.

THE JERSEY CITY MURDER.
MORE MYSTERY IN THE CASE.


Mrs. Ada Richardson, about whom there has been

endow mens and processes feel deeply grieved at the
manner in which she has been spoken of through the
public prints Of this city. Certainly, from the demeanor
Of the lady, no one would imagine her to be woman
Of the character represented.
1t is not her desire 10 say anything in the newspapers
about the matter preferrng rather to let it all die out
She burst into tears when spoken to about it. Her
frends however claim that all the stories told about
Der concocted by designng parties, for reason
that cannot at present be made public.
II is a rather remarkable circumstance that several
Of the prominent marks which represented to be
on Mrs. Richardson's face are not to be found now.
Her ears are not slit and there bnnions on her
feet nor has she thick nail one of her toes, al
though il positively stated the Coroners inquest
that these marks were there. 1t ia thought by many
that there was an Interior design in the identification
of the body in Jersey City as Mrs. Richardson's and
tie further investigation that is on foot may possibly
reveal a very interesting state Of facts.
Mrs. Richardson in company with Detective Young,
Yesterday visited several of the newspaper offices
about the city, and produced to the editors in charge
pretty satisfactory proofs that she was Mrs. r. in
propria PERSONA and DOT, as the lamented Toodles
used to exclaim, in ghostla persona.

set generally in the center of hills and boys to
which roads have yet been constructed, render
