Recent letters from Japan give an account Of
Mr.. Stewards interview with the mikado, which
is amusiugly characteristic of the cheerful old
statesman. 1t was the original purpose to give
Mi Seward and his party welcome from the
ministers only, instead of admitting him to the
Immediate presence of the sovereign. When
this intention was made known to the ex secre-
tary be blandly responded in substance that he
took no particular interest in ministers, and must
decline an interview with them, but if the mikado
wished to see him, and would send him word TO
that effect, he would willingly crafty that po-
tentate. Either impressed with the importance
of the man who brushed aside 80 easily the
etiquette Of the most punctilous and naughty
court IL the world, or curious TO see such
representative Of his nearest neighbor toward
the east, the mikado signifed his pleasure to re-
ceive visit from our travelling statesman aud
his party.
Accordingly Mfr. Seward, Mr. Randall and
our minister at Japan, Mr.. De Long, were adj
mitted into the presence of the monarch, and
even allowed the unprecedented privilege of
gazing directly upon his august countenance,
which to all other visitors, even to the duke of
Edinburgh, had been hidden by veil. Ameri-
can assurance is equal to almost any
trial, and we are not surprised to learn
that Mr. Seward and his companions
gazed upon the spectacle unabashed and
without visible emotion. If the mikado, on his
part, was as self-possessed, his demeanor does
him the highest credit. Very brief bat civil
speeches, which had been prepared beforehand
and mutually exchanged, in writing, were de-
livered, and the interview was soon over Mr..
Seward was naturally delighted at his signal
triumph over the difficulties of japanese court
etiquette, but the foreigners, aud especially the
English, were not so well pleased. They re-
garded il as special compliment to the United
States, at the expense of other nationalties that
had not been so distinguished, and were partcu-
larry aggricved that while the duke of Edin-
burgh, the son of their sovereign, and belonging
TO the highest rank of their aristocracy had been
Beuitted only to be in the same room with the
mikado, but not to see his face, these untitled
and unofficial Yankees had been honored by a
remission in their favor of this hitherto absolute
requirement.

Mayor Chnnin,. Aadre.s.

Which We print in full will not fail 10 get at
teniion, and the people Of Worcester, we think
VIM read it with great satisfaction. They will
mud in it very clear and comprehensive state
ment of the present condition of our municipal
affairs, and, also, just appreciation of what is
required to promote the growth and prosperity
Of the city. We win not attempt summary of
this document, for every person interested in the
matters to which it is devoted, will read it care
fully. The mayor states that he shall hold the
office only until another man can he elected to
take the position.
The city charter having no provision for cases
like that now presented, by the death of mayor
elect before his Inauguration, and there being
some uncertainty in regard to the meaning of
chapter 49, section S, of the general statutes,
which is supposed to give authority to hold an
election for mayor, it seems to be desirable to
have all doubts removed by an amendment of
the charter. Therefore the mayor suggested
that the city government should petition the
legislature for the needed legislation, and his
suggestion was adopted as soon as the city gov
eminent was organized.

tiny Of the city Impressed with the importance of
true culture, the fathers of New England nurtured
and put into successful operation system OF free

Year by year the expenses of the department of ed
uoation have increased, and the standard has been
elevated. Oar schoolhOuseS re becoming more and
more worthy of the great cause to which they are
eonsecrated and we have every reason to hope that
as the result of increased care and expense the
children who are educated here will demonstrate
that the money is NOT thrown away, and that the
care and labor which are devoted to this depart
ment are not spent In vain. Within few wears the
system of training schools has been very successful
ly adopted, and Is source of much encouragement
to those most Immediately connected with our edu-
cahonal interests. The School Of Industrial Sci
enee OF which we are all proud and W hich is so
fuil OF hope and promise for this city, bids fair 10
raise the standard OF practical education far higher
tnan II has ever yet reached, and when the state
shall establish here normal school for the educa-
uon OF teachers, which or later she will be
sure to DO If she has not forgotten the great doe
trlne OF demand and supply, feel that in the de-
partment OF education We may at least congratulate
ourselves that our position will be equal ii not s
