visit bathing establishment, to enjoy the
greatest luxury of the season, the japanese
officers declined to do it until they could
learn that the Admiral had taken one.
" After him was manners"
The Captain of the corvette is a fue
looking man, marvelouSly resembling, in
stature, form and features, Col. Fremont,
only that his eye is darker.
The Admiral is not sailor. He was
Governor of a province, but selected for
this service because his rank of Commo-
dore would enable him TO meet on equal
terms our Commodore.
TUESDAYS PROCEEDINGS.
A boat load of sailors, marines, and Off
GERS from the japanese corvette came
ashore this morning, and took little tramp
around town. The Captain Of the Com
pany, who talks English Ike book, was
without hat. His head was shaven on
the crown, the straight, black hair turned
upward, tied together, and the ends com
pacted, by virtue Of much pomatum, into
one solid round mass, were laid straight
fore aud aft on the crown, pointing ahead
Upon this model most Of the others OF any
rank dressed their hair. Several dandySh
officers wore broad brimmed white hats,
such as our Chinese sport in rainy weather.
A cushion was arranged inside to lift the
hat clear of the head. Two stout strings,
one passing from in front Of the ears under
the chin, the other from behind the cars
around the front of the chin, kept it in
place. Others wore straw bonnets OF fancy
colors, shaped like an inverted cone-the
cushion within sustaining on the shaved
scalp an the hats weight, and the cross
strings maintaining it in position. Others,

One brieG little old man had every hair on
his head shaven off, The officers were fan.

the Japanese flag, for the military men
of San Francisco to arrive.

President Teschemacher and two or three
other citizens in "store clotnes," walked

boats belonging to the Aetire, were rowed

Admiral, see the vessel, exchange compli-
