THE CHINESE EMBASSY.

AUBURN, N. T., August g. 1sos
The Chinese Embassy and large number OF citt-
zens were entertained At the hospitable mansion OF
Secretary Seward last evening In the course OF the
evening music and dancing were introduced for the
entertainment OF the Chinese members OF the Rm
bassy, to whom the mnging OF the sexes In society
is a novel and heretofore unheard OF thing Their
amusement at the strange sight Of ladies and gen.
temen joining in the dance was q marked feature Of
the evening. Cards were exchanged between the
Chinese and their visitors, the former giving their
address In the national hieroglyphics, which were,
OF course, in great demand. The evening passed od
agreeably to all present. with no crushing
or trespassing to mar It's pleasure, and all retired
well pleased with the hospitality and kind attention
on the part OF their hosts At apast eleven O'Clock
.hls morning the Embassy, accompanied BY largo
number OF citizens In carriages, took conveyances
for the farm OF Mr.. H. 8. Dunning, situated about
mile and half west OF the city to witness an exhi
bition OF the operations Of the Kirby reaper. Az
four O'Clock this afternoon the whole Embassy,
accompanied by Secretary Seward and several
friends, went to Willow Brook and were entertained
by Ex-Governor Throop and +. T. T. Martin. The
party returned to Secretary Stewards at about ten
O'Clock this evening. They leave for Niagara Falls
tomorrow morning.

The RevOlutiOu in japan.

In the HERALD of yesterday we gave inn
portant intelligence from Japan. 1t appears
that the revolution has taken turn which
many believed impossible which some be-
lieved possible, but which the HERALD has all
along declared to be inevitable. The Tycoon
party is again in the ascendant. The Mikado
party has proved complete failure. The Mi
kado himself is now prisoner at Kioto and
in charge of the Mia or High Priest of the
country This is much more serious than at
first sight appears. It means that the party of
reaction have done their best and failed It
means more-it means that the party Of pro-
gress now have it all their own way. We are
prepared to hear on an early day that the Ty
coon, Statsbashi, has resumed supreme power
in Japan-supreme power meaning much more
than it has ever meant before in that country
It will not surprise us if Japan follows the ex-
ample of China and seeks, as China has done,
introduction to the great nations through the
medium of the United States. We have plenty
Of men quite as clever as Burlingame-men
who are perfectly prepared for some such mis-
sion. Meanwhile we await startling and hope
full news from Japan.

GENERAL GRANT ON PARDONING THE
REBELs.-We are not surprised that General
Grant has recommended the remission of the
remainder of the sentences and the release
from Imprisonment of all persons now in con-
dnement under sentence of military commits
sions organized under the Reconstruction acts
of Congress in the States where the said acts
have ceased to be operative. This important
recommendation is in perfect harmony with
the spirit of magnanmity which General Grant
has always exhibited since his generous and
soldierly behavior to General Lee at the Ap-
pomattox surrender.

Club.
FAIR HAVEN, August 8, lsss
To-day the shrewsbury Yacht Club held their third
annual regatta under the most auspiceus circun
stances. On no previous occasion mas such an ex
cellent little fleet started for honors from t,,is de-
ghtu spot as sailed this afternoon ana aItooether

successful OF the season. That yachting is rapidly
becoming national pastime and that its science Ia
also becoming as quickly developed requires but little
demonstration. or that important fact the shreva
bury Club to-day gave ample proof and bids fair to
rival in very short time its many kindred friends
The locality is charming and the surrounding
scenery such as to lend enchantment to any event
of pleasure, while the situation for minor yacht

exclusive, for general invitation Was given to all

yachts were set down to compete, all excellent in
their way and many Of them crafts Of small
merit. Those, however, who have closely watched
yachting events for the past few weeks will perceive
that the great competitors of the day were the Mat
tie OF the Bayonne, and the Abby, OF the
Shrewsbury Yacht Clubs In these two the
entire interest OF the contest lay, nor need
it be added that both had numerous friends and
admirers as well as substantial approvers. Long be-

SARATOGA RAoEs.-Horse racing Is rapidly
becoming a national sport. We follow
the example Of England, but we follow
her to beat her IL possible. II Is Q curious
fact that horse racing has within the
last few years become q passion all over
the world. We find IL In France, In Turkey,
in Egypt, In India, In Australia. It is not
strange that we should find IL popular sport
In the United States. It is gratifying to know
that the speed which is being attained at our
different racing centres 10 coming up to very
high point We are not able ss yet to
compare with the English racers in short
dashes (such as that of the Derby); but the
Saratoga races, so far as they have gone, seem
to indicate that at no distant day we shall
revive our ancient renown and DO a fair
match for England In such testing contests ss
four-mile heats. This is what we ought 10
aim at Horse racing is good for nothing IL IL
does not improve the breed Of horses. Speed,
strength and endurance are the bes. proofs Of
Improvement.

The inquest Of the coroner's jury in the
csss Of Mr. John Spicer, who died in great
agony on the 18th ult . few minutes after
taking q sedlitz powder, was concluded on
Wednesday. The verdict, in accordance with
the testimony, and particularly with the results
of the post mortem examination by DR.. Beach
and the chemical analysis by Professor Dore
paper containing the powder, finds that de-
ceased came to his death by taking strychnine
contained in Seidlitz powder on July lS,
1858, and, expressing the opinion that ''said
poison was not taken for the purpose of self
destruction" and the belief that the powder
was free from poisonous ingredients when it
was taken from the store of Mr. Frees, fully
exonerates that druggist and his assistants
from any act Of carelessness in compounding
or prescribing the sedlitz powder sold to
James Adkins, the colored servant who was
sent to get 1t. The statement Of James that
he delivered it unopened to his mistress was
confirmed by her reply to the family physician,
DR.. Bartlett, who asked her If she did not
think 1t possible for the poison to have been in
troduced after the sedltz powder left the drug
store. She replied, mo, doctor, II would have
been impossible; the envelop was unbroken
and perfectly sealed" In her examination she
stated: -"When the powder was given me by
James I noticed the careful manner in which
Il was put up" This would seem to clear the
servant from any suspicion Of having tampered
with the powder. Mrs. Spicer also declared
that she left the powder With her husband, to
be taken when he pleased. BY whom, then,
the strychnine was mingled with the powder
remains as profound mystery as ever. II is
strange that the coroners jury should have
agreed upon 6nal verdict, which, although
1t appears, as far as 1t goes, consistent with the
evidence, Is nevertheless so incomplete If
their verdict is correct hidden crime must
be involved In this extraordinary case. Can
they have resorted to all the means within the
reach Of science and detective skill in order 10
penetrate the mystery which has been LEFT
unsolved2
