rendered him the palace OF the Imperial
Legation At Pelin for his residence wilhelm
that city This anaiablc septuagena1ian
bids fait to add to his numerous other titles
that OF "the great American traveller"
We suppose no American statesman now
living is so well or widely known abroad As
Mr.. Seward, nor is there any one who
would receive so cordial Welcome among
the worlds rulers in al civilized or oven
pagan nations. Wherever be goes, be is
sure Of the freedom of the city and the right
hand OF fellowship il not an ovation. No
foreigner Was ever received with such dis
tinguiahed consideration by the Mexican
people and officials as Seward, from the day
be entered their territory at Mazatlan until
he left it at Vera Cruz His pro-
gross through Mexico is described to
have been moro like the .triumpha

travels to the antipodes, he will discover

the;s .Celestials" OF the 81 Flowery Kingdom
| Will accord TO him the highest honors they
ever exhibit to any private *'barbarian.
There asa not many old men of three

age to see foreign lands at that time Of life.
We believe he is an exception to al noted
Americans OF his years Hn trip sctoss
the continent, last year, to California and
Oregon; then to Alaska, to see his large
but vnlueless real estate speculation, ane
thence 70 the coast Of Mexico and through
