LIE JAPANESE AT WAsHINeToN.-Their re-
ceptions OF congressman, Cabinet officers, and
olner Iunctlonarles, are the most tedious cere
monies they have to endure. For two or more
hours each day, seated quietly upon a sofa, the
Ambassadors resign themselves to the assiduous
attentions of The hundreds of men and women
who beset them. As the Princes are persons of
taste and refinement, they naturally suffer a
little mental and physical prostration by these
operations, and generally come out of them wilt
ed, and with countenances indicating vague
thoughts In the direction OF "happy release"
The dignity of these receptions is seldom in
terfered with, excepting by the japanese Puck.
Tommy" ln his wanderipgs, lie sometimes
penetrates the parlor where the Ambassadors
SIT in state, on which occasions nobility is for
gotten, and public consideration is at once di-
verted from aged rank to youthful genius. 1t
often becomes necessary to eliminate the little
interpreter, to prevent serious interruptions of
the regular order OF affairs but, in such events,
Tommy, conscious of his own resources, betakes
himself to an adjoining apartment, and there
gets up reception on his own account, which
presently aclipses the more imposing demonstra-
ZION, and brings together throng more numer-
GUS and more devoted than any the Princes can
secure.
The officers aud servants of the Embassy lux
uriate in idleness. Photography absorbed them
tor while, but having now all seen themselves
duly put upon paper, this excitement has passed.
1rihlng purchases take up portion OF each day.
The Japanese are gaming wisdom IN the matter
OF sole leather. Isokahara Jougoro gives good
example by appearing in CATERS or Washington
manufacture and astonishing size. The first day
after his arrival here, he had two cases of shoes
brought into his room, every pair of which be
carefully Inspected, before deciding upon his
purchase. Several sets that fitted him exactly,
and gave his little foot tue neatest possible APP
pearance, We're thrown aside in favor of a
couple OF huge objects which, he honestly de
clared, were better suited TO his untutored toes.
Since that time, many of the subordinate off
GERS have adopted CATERS, invariably selecting
the largest available sizes, according to the eX.
ample of their comto:t-lovng leader; and often
III their ignorance of our American prices, anC
their Indifference to matters OF money, paying
tor them sums quite proportionale to their d
mansions.
The doctors are providing for the recovery o
their lnvalids, of whom there are three or fou
in the party, all servants. Their mode of treat
ment Is very simple, and does not differ ia es
sentisl points from that of our own physicians
The servants generally entertain themselves b.
atfaOe communications with the children VIII
cluster about their windows-tossing them ia
panese confecuoneries and pictures, and receiy
ing in return protuse thanks, with which the
appear fully satisfied Cor. N. Y. Tribune.
