MIR. SEWARD AND THE MIKADO.

? From the Japan Herald, we have the
following account of the interviews be-
tween Ex-Secretary Seward, and the
Mikado:
The first audience ever given by the
Mikado to a private person was given
to Mr.. Seward, the minister, Mr.. De
Long and Colonel Shepherd, acting
secretary of the legation. The Ameri-
ca.as are delighted and the English par
ticuIarly chagrined at so great repub-
lican triumph. Mr.. Stewards advance
of the Mikade, on the 9Th, was a special
instance of his adoption of foreign
usage, and the reception afforded that
statesman and the American minister
was one which must have been as graft
the national ruler. His majesty having
granted the private audience on the
American minister's request, Mr.. Sew
ard, Mr.. De Long and Colonel Shop
herd, proceeded TO the castle, where
they were awaited by the Minister of
State, and conducted through the gar
dens to pavilion, wherein refreshments
were provided. On the Mikado ex-
pressing his readiness to receive the
visitors they left, attended by various
heads of public departments, and were
escorted to very beautiful summer
house in the grounds, in a small room
in which his Majesty was seated on a
chair, upon the same level with his
auditors, his sword-bearer and secre-
tary standing near, and the Prime MIN
lister and various members of the Privy
Council ranged on one side of the cham
Der. The Mikado received Mr.. Seward
and Mr.. De Long with marked kind
Hase and after convaro;rO NTH than,
upon various matters, invited Mr.. Sew
ard to discuss certain questions of state
affairs with his ministers, which thai
gentleman did while taking breakfast
with them, after the reception was ter
minated. His Majesty's manner was
most cordial throughout, and by hts dig.
nihed and corteous reception of his dis
tinguished visitor win, no doubt, dc
mach 70 increase the favorable impress
ion of his Majesty already entertained
! in the United States and in Europe.

Court then adjourned to Jan. 23d. The
Democrats lack one vote of two-thirds
majority, and the Republicans are con-
fident of Holden's acquittal.
A despatch from Bordeaux the 22d
says, the Government is in receipt OF
alv;ccs from Paris by balloon, 10 the
It'll Of December. The news is favor
able. There has been no engagement
with the Germans since December Sd.
Preparations were making by General
Trochu for another grand sortie. Tro-
chu had ordered the Prussian officers
whom he held as prisoners of war to be
sent back to Versailles. He previously
had them conducted through the i'm
mense stores of provisions and muni-
tons of war which are collected in the
city, in order that the enemy might be
disabused of the idea that further resis-
lance was impossible. 1t is reported
that the Prussions have occupied Tours.
They found no serious opposition. Cen
eral Chausey is at Lenifis, where he has
received reinforcements.

The want of new building is so SER
iously felt that its supply cannot be
longer postponed without crippling the
usefulness of the school. Our judge
ment comedies with Professor Kellog's
in the belief that it is unwise to attempt
to make additions to the present build
ing. 1t is not large enough to serve as
q body to which wings of sufficient size
could be attached. A new building will
be much the best, and, in the end, the
cheapest means ofsupplying the demand
for additional accommodations. Your
committee recommend that appropriate
action be taken by the Board Of Diree-
tors with view to devise ways and
means for the erection of suitable
building at the earliest practicable date.

BEN WHEATONS SLEEP IN THE
WOODS.


In the long time ago, Ben Wheaton
was one of the first settlers on the wat
ers of the Susquehanna, a rough uncul-
tivated and primitive man. As many
others of the same stamp, he subsisted
by hunting, cultivating the land but
sparingly, and in this way raised a nu-
merous family amidst the woods, and
in a half starved condition and COM
parafive nakedness. But IS the Susque-
hanna county rapidly increased in pop
ulstion, the hunting grounds OF Ben
Wheaton were encroached upon, so that
a chance with the smooth-bore among
the deer and bears was greatly lessened.
On this account Wheaton removed from
the SusquehannA country to Otsego
County, TO the more unsettled country
Of the Delaware, near . place then
known as Waits settlements. where
game was more plenty. The distance
from where he made his homo in the

Latest dispatches say that the general
situation is favorable for the French.
The success of the recent sortie is con-
firmed in an official telegram
from Lille on the night of the 23d.
Gen. Faedherbe announced to the min
istry of war that his army engaged the
enemy at Pont Nayelle ON that day.
The battle lasted from IL o'clock in the
morning until 6 P. N. For the greater
portion of the time it was an artillery
duel, which was finally terminated by a
charge of the French infantry along the
whole line. The enemy were driven
back and the French troops remained
masters of the field.

WORM SYRUP

The presence of worms in the intestInes Is in
Dictated by variety Of symptoms, pains in the
stomach, swelling of the abdomen, picking of
the nose and ears, bad breath, variable appe-
tite, etc. If the worms are allowed to remain,
which is too often the case, death is frequently
the result. Use Mothers Worm Syrup. 1t is
far superior to al other preparations as a worm
destroyer. Being composed entirely of vege-
table ingredients, and free from all nauseous
taste that vermifuge contains, it is pleasant
syrup that children will readily take, or it can
be eaten with bread.
All worm CONNECTIONS and worm candy con-
tain terra alba, deadly poison, which is used
to keep the CONNECTIONS and candy from running
together in warm weather. Beware of their
use, and take only Mothers Worm Syrup.

In accordance with the action of the
city of Emporia, as expressed by vote
of the citizens issuing the bonds of the
city for the purpose of erecting board
ing houses for the Normal students,
your Committee has worked in con-
junction with a special Committee ap-
pointed by the city council, in getting
up plan and experimenting the build
ing of these houses. They are now
completed, % by 60 feet in size, two
stories high, and are occupied by stu
dents.
None of the lands belonging to the
Normal School have been sold during
the year. Your committee has held
itself in readiness to contract with any
parties who might wish to purchase the
lands, at a reasonable price. Some in
quires from prospective buyers have
been received and answered, but no
contracts completed. 1t would be a
help to the school if the lands could be
sold. We would recommend that ac-
tive means be devised to insure the dis
posal of the entire body of land during
the coming season.
For detailed statement of the needs
of the institution you are respectfully
referred to the Principals report and to
the annexed estimate of needed appro-
priations for 1871. Your committee in
making this estimate have been actuated
by motives of the strictest economy.
Nothing has been put in that could be
dispensed with, without serious injury
to the school. The amount specified in
each case is as low as it could consist.
emily be made. The addition of one
assistant teacher to the Faculty and the
small increase in the salaries of the
principal teachers rendered necessary
by the increasing duties of the respec
tive positions, makes the whole amount
asked for little more than was appro
priated last year.
The entire estimate is presented sub
ject to your approval and ratification.
