Mr.. SEWARD AND THE JAPANESE
GOVERNMENT.
From the milwaukee, Sentinel

E Z 4
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
AS an evidence of the good will of the
Japanese government toward the United
States, may be cited the cordial and un
precedented reception of Hon. VIM. Ell
Seward, on his arrival in that country in
October. Heretofore net even the for.
eign ambassadors have been permitted to
see the whole person of the Mikado at
once. Glimpses OF his feet or of his face
have been accorded them but it was re-
served for plain citizen of the United
States to break down the barriers of the
country's customs and stand as man be
fore man in the whole presence of the
japanese monarch.
With true Yankee audacity Mr. Sew
and was resolved to visit personally, du
ring his tour around the world, the vari
Gus sovereigns of the nations with which
his political career has made him famous.
Well acquainted with the customs of
Japan, in this respect, he determined to
disregard them, and accordingly on his
arrival, when the Ministers of State
crowded about him, inviting him to a
breakfast which had been prepared in
his honor, he refused this invitation and
cody intimated that he would deal with
no less parsonage than His Majesty, the
ruler of the empire And he gained his
point. Through magnificent gardens,
where he was met at every turn by num-
bers of the Mlkado's household, or Of the
Foreign Office, who extended to him the
most cordial of welcomes, he was con-
Quoted to a banquet room, and from
thence to the Imperial presence. The
Mikado received him with marked evi
dences of pleasure, and was unattended
save by single guard and the officer who
supplied him with the necessary CONVEX
sational manuscripts.
Our country may well be proud-not
of the honor thus conferred upon one OF
her citizens especially, for neither Pope
nor Mikado can honor royal American
by admitting them into his presence
but that she is the first that removed the
veil which has so long enveloped a PEG
pie in its folds of superstition, and let in
upon them the light of her liberty and
good will

HINTS TO FARMERs.-The Fat Con
tributor, of the Cincinnati Times, contri
butes the following hints, which. may not
be of any use to our agricultural readers
Now that winter is approaching, il
would perhaps be as well to discontinue
haying, and turn your attention to get
ting in your fall saw logs. No farmer
can consider his fall work complete un-
till he has his cellar well supplied
with saw.logs. Seated around a blazing
hearth of a winters night, there is no
fruit more delicious.
A correspondent asks US what we think
of late blowing. Flowing should not
be continued later than 10 or IL O'Clock
at night. It gets the horses in the
habit of staying out late, and unduly ex-
poses the pillow. We..have known plows
to acquire spring halt and infamatory
rheumatism from late blowing. Don't
do it.
To another corr espondent who wants
us to suggest good drain on farm, We
would say heavy mortgage at 10 per
cent. will drain it about as rapidly as
anything we know of.
When you make cider, select nothing
but the soundest turnips, chopping them
into sled length before grading them.
In boiling your cider, use plenty of Ice,
and when boiled hang it up in the sun to
dry.
A pck-ax should never be used in
picking apples--it has tendency to
break down the vines and damage the
hive.
In sowing your winter apple-jack, a
horse. rake would be found prefer
able to step-ladder. Step-ladders are
liable to freeze up, and are hardly palata-
BILE unles boiled with sugar. 8RhH8f
In cutting down hemlock trees for
canning select only the largest. Don't
throw away the chips, as they make fine
parlor ornaments, encased in rustic frames
of salt and vinegar. .
The coming cold weather should sug.
gest to the humane farmer the necessity
for new cow-shed. The following is a
receipt for making good cow-shed
Pour pailful of boiling hot water or
her back, and if that don't make a good
coW-shed-her hair-wc are no prophet
to anybody.
Now is the time for planting your
winter hay. The pink-eyed Southdowr
is probably the best variety, as It don't
need polling and begins to lay early.

New DISCOVERIES IN AFRICA.-The
African traveller, DR.. G., Schweinfurth,
gives an interesting account IN the Col.
0gne Gazette of an expedition to the Coun-
try of the Niam.Niams, which, he says,
has never been visited by scientific
traveller before. He performed this
journey as the guest of Mohammed Abu
Sammat, trader in ivory, and the party
consisted of 800 persons. The climate of
the country is extremely healthy" but
travelling is difficult on account of the
numerous rivers and marshes; in the
Southern districts the caravan had to
cross river or bog nearly every quart
er of an hour, and the crossing often oc-
cupied several hours.
The general character of the lands is
that of steppe, except on the banks OF
the rivers, which are thickly wooded
and provided with narrow foot-paths.
In crossing river the travellers usually
sank to their hips in black mud, and
huge leeches stuck to their legs. They
suffered great deal for want of food /;
all they could get was corn occasionally
and some dubious roots (cassaVa, col
ocasic, bananas, and excellant yams),
but no meat except fowls. On the re-
turn journey they killed some large
antelopes, without which they would
have been almost starved. They passed
through the domipions of the Chief
Serbia Sabbi Nganye and Uando (the
latter of whom presented DR.. SchWein-
furth with large jar full of scorched
elephants tripe taken from an animal q
hundred years old), and finally reached
the residence of Munsa, the King of the
Mombuttu. This place lies at about
three degrees north latitude, south of the
great Uelle river, which DR.. Schweinfurth
believes is the same as the Upper Khari
(affluent of Lake Tchad), and joins the
Blue Nile at Khartoum.
Cannibalism is prevalent both among
the Mombuttu and the Niam-Niams
Munsa eats human flesh daily, and the
Mombuttu go regularly on hunting ex
petitions among the wild negro races in
the South the dead and wounded are
Gather eaten on the spot or their flesh
dried for future consumption, and the
prisoners are carried away to be eaten at
leisure. AS for the Nam Mans, they
make war on the Nubians out of sheer
cannibalism. "Flesh, flesh % is their war
cry. and any slave that comes in their way
Is at once sacrificed to their ruling pas
sion.
On the return journey the travellers
were repeatedly attacked by Mann Mans
with lanoes and boomerangs, but fheil
only casualties were two wounded. One
of them was the leader of the caravan
Mohammed Abu Summat. Both soon re-
covered. The total distance travelled
from Serbia Chattas, in Dur, whence DR..
Schweinfurth dates his letter, to Munsa's
residence, was about seventy five German
900 English miles,
