within the beautiful warsteamer that is to bear them

Embassy before. Ere the sun is low behind the
Neyersnk bills tonight they will have passed out the
gates of our harbor, and have found quiet moment
In which to wonder whether the changeful pageaotry
that has 80 long dazzled and bewiidered them, was
ANYTHING more than the baseless fabric OF vision
which "leaves not wrack behind.
Turning their glances, however from the ocean and
the Wesern hills to the spacious deck Of the Niagara

sides, are heaped innrmerous presents of every de-
scription size and value In ADDITION to those pre-
yiously mentioned by US, gifts sufficient for the stock
of Yankee store have been presented the japanese,
in one united onslaught made by the manufacture rs
and storekeepers, during the twentyfour hours prior
to their departure. Among the more noticeable may
be mentioned sets of Glass from HaHghwouts valued
at 81 900; set of Howe's Standard Scales; Her.
rings Patent Fire and Burglars Proof Safe Lilies
cbiled-iron Safe, and model Of the steamship Adri
attic, presented by Mr.. E X. Collins.
Experience of 30 much generosity, and the emo
tons excited by the thought of speedy departure from
a country where they have been so kindly treated
opened the phlegmatic hearts of the Japanese then
selves and the last few hours of theic stay were in
turn devoted by them 10 presentiD their imme date
hosts with token of their gratitude. On Thursday
evening, the first Embassador invited the brothers
Lelan to bis room, and begged them to receive the
good wishes of the Embassy for the United States the
