The New Japanese Embassy.

MosT of our readers must be aware that
for long time Americans have, for some
reason or other, been more obnoxious to
the japanese than other foreigners have
been. Minister De Long has made 1t his
business TO endeavor TO remove this pre-
iudice, and has at last achieved complete
diplomatic triumph over the other repre-
sentatives of foreign Powers, who, of
course, have done their best to thwart
him in his projects.
The triumph was achieved in the fol-
lowing manner. About six months ago
new Minister of Foreign Affairs, lwakau-
IA, was appointed. At first the appoint
ment seemed to be a most unfortunate
one. for Iwakaura was distinguished for
his antipathy to the whites. He was,
however, an energetic and shrewd man,
and turned his shrewdness to good ac
count. Soon after his appointment he
called on Mr.. De Long, and friendship
sprang up between them. The question
of opening the ports TO foreign trade, and
particularly to that of America, was OF
course often discussed. Iwakaura agreed
that they should be opened, but the
English and German representatives, par
ticnlarly the former, opposed any action
of the kind. Finally, Mr.. De Long made
a wisely-directed stroke. He said to the
Japanese statesman "Throw aside your
prejudices visit all parts of the world ;
go and see for yourself, and do not be
guided by what any of the foreign Minis
tiers may say
Iwakaura decided to take De Longs ad,
vice, and visit America, England, Ger
many, France, Russia, Italy, Holland,
Spain, and the Hawaiian islands. Then,
of course, a struggle ensued among the
Ministers about whose country should be
first visited, but in the end Mr.. DE Long
gained his point, and Iwakaura decided
to come TO California, and thence &c
Washington.
The Embassy was to leave Japan on the
25th ultimo, on the steamship America
Minister De Long having received foul
months leave of absence, will accom-

merely to advise with the Government
upon the best course to pursue with re

books are now almost all translated into
English. Since Shakespeare there has
been no mind of equal compass to his.
There is the wise man. He has the larg-
est range of thought, the most catholic
mind a person who has spoken in every
science, and has added to the scientific
lore of other students, and who represents
better than any other individual the pro
gressive mind of the progressive age. He
is the oracle of all the leading students in
every nation at this time-Goethe, who
died in 1882. If you waiit pleasant IN
PRODUCTION to him, take the book of his
Conversations with Eckermann. Pro-
fessor Eckermann lived in his house for a
time, and just as Boswell wrote out John
sons conversation, SO Bckermdnn wrote
out the conversation of Goethe, That
book Is very entertaining and instructive
one Opinions upon every modern ques
tion are there. If you want one of his
more serious books, should say "Faust."
''Faust" is the book by which Goethe is
best known. 1t is ofie of the most disa:
greeable books that I can read. While l
consider Shabespeare's Hamlet" a great
and noble work, Goethe's "Faust" is to
me very painful work. And yet that
stands with society generally as. his lead
ing work. 1t represents the modern
mind, and that is what it aimed at But
it does not represent the Eternal Mind,
alone of value in every age 1t is very
painful book. The "History of Poetry
and Fiction" is the name by which Goe-
the calls the memoirs Of his own life,
Then there are his poems in general, and
his prose writings on art, on society, on
light. He was a student of light, and
made important discoveries. His book
upon optics contains history of pro-
gress and history of Sir Isaac Newton;
and his relations to that science are given,
and so the whole history of philosophy in
that direction. A book which Is not yet
printed in English, l believe, is his Sen
tences-Spruche. 1t will be Immediately
put into English, Ipresume, for they are
multiplying it in German. 1t was printed
originally in Schiller's work. They edited
together The Hours C'Horen"), and in
every one there were certain collections
of sentences. Goethe wrote whole essays,
but also continual redundance of max
inns and rules. These are now gathered
in book that think is one of the most
important that we possess. believe that
more of his books are in English every
year, so that you can always find access
to them. The italian Travels" is an
other important book of his.

GONE.

LIST to the midnight lionel
The church clock speaketh with solemn tone
Doth it no more than tell the time?
Hark! from that be1fry gray,
In each deep booming chime, which, slow and clear,
Beats like a measured bell upon my ear,
stern voice seems to say:
Gone-gone;
The hour is gone-the day is gone;
Pray!
The air is hushed again,
And the darkness woos to sleep in vain,-
q soul we have slept too long,
Yes, dreamed the morn away,
In visions false and feverish unrest,
Wasting the work-time God hath given and blest.
Conscience grows pale to see
How, like a haunting face,
My youth stares at me out of gloom profound:
With rayless eyes. black as the darkness round,
And waiting lips which say:
-Gone-gone;
The morn is gone-the morn is gone;
Pray!
Woe for the wasted years.
Born bright with Smiles but buried with sad tears
Their tombs have been prepared
By Time, that gravesman gray;
soul, we may weep to count each stone,
And read the epitaph engraved thereon
BY that stern carver's hand
Yet weep not long, for Hope,
Steadfast and calm, beside each headstons stands
Gazing on Time, with upward pointing hands,
Take we this happy sign,
Up! let us work and pray.
Thon in whose sight the hoary ages fly
Swift as a summers noon, yet whose stern eve
Doth note each moment lost
So let me live that not one hour misspcnt
May rise in judgment on me, penitent,
But till the sunset, Lord.
So in thy vineyard toll,
That every hour priceless gem may be,
TO crown the blind brows Of Eternity.

Pickles.

"ARE not pickles good? 1 always
thought they were healthful. What about
salads? Are they not good -
These questions are frequently pro-
pounded to US, and our uniform answer
is, that pickles, salads, greens, and all the
trash which requires vinegar to make it
palatable, are eaten solely for the vine
gar; and as vinegar is product of decay,
and an acid entirely too strong to be
wholesome, it should be avoided alto
gether People who most crave vinegar
are those who eat sugar and fatty matter
in excess. Fruit acids are supplied by
nature in abundance, and are well adapt
ed to furnish the system with all the acid
it requires, and that of the right kind.
Vinegar will-eat up bones; it will in
jure the teeth and the coats of the stom-
ach it will injure the blood; it will
break down the health. A fat, young
lady who was told that the use of vinegar
would reduce her flesh, entered upon the
improvement with such earnestneSs that
she took half a teacupful several times a
day. Her fine health soon became great
ly damaged she not only lost her surplus
fat. but her natural flesh as well, and was
reduced to a skinny skeleton. From be-
ing ten pounds heavier than she thought
was becoming, she became thirty pounds
egar, but the lifelong repentance of her
folly did not bring back the requisite
plumpness of form.
"But good cider vinegar being the
juice of fruit ought not to be injurious"
says one. The juice of fruit, when it is
natural, just taken from the fruit, willnot
injure person, unless too much is taken.
Most of US know the effect of drinking
sweet cider in excess. Nature takes care
to keep no more of it in the system than
is needful- But vinegar has undergone
the fermenting process, which is the first
stage of decay, and has now become rela-
lively poisonous All it needs now is
concentrating, like the poisonous acids, to
make it eat the living tissues. Our firm
conviction is, that if on every table there
could be raw or cooked fruit of various
kinds in ample abundance at every meal,
ninety-nine men in a hundred, in years
time, would learn to take enough of the
fruit to supply the system with its requi-
site acids, so that neither pickle nor salad,
with vinegar, or vinegar in any form,
would be desired. Let vinegar be re-
pudiated, and fruit be established in its
place, and the dentist and doctor will
have far less to do, and the undertaker's
work will be much longer postponed

A SAN Francisco gentleman recently
visited dentist for the purpose of Will
ing away halfhour or so, and, while
there, a lady came in with little girl,
wanting tooth or two drawn for the lat
ter. The child cried when placed in tho
chair, and declared that she would not
have her teeth attended to unless the
strange gentleman would have a tooth
drawn first, and, to please the little pa
tient, he took her place with wink at
the doctor. The latter took two or three
instruments, while the gentleman reclined
in the chair smilingly gazing at the ceiling
for the assurance of the watching child,
and, after softly poking at two or three
teeth, to the horror of the obliging gen.
tleman he commenced boring into his
Jaw where a tooth had once been extract
ed, and, before he could offer a protest, a
tremendous wrench brought out large
root, which the doctor held up to the
child with a diabolical grin on his face.
The gentleman rolled off the chair, and,
with an expression of unutterable pain in
his countenance, gazed moment re-
proachfully at his friend and left the
office. The little one did not seem to be
greatly encouraged by the exhibition.

ALBANY, March II, 1872.
The splendid and successful coup d'eiat which Sc
cured the downfall o! the Erie Railroad Ring mas
been the theme Of conversation everywhere here
to-day. The statements published in the papers
here this morning. being neither very full nor very
clear, left readers In some doubt as to the situa-
ton. There was, consequently, q great rush
this evening for the New YORK journals
All the HERALps that were brought up
on the train were speedily sold out and during the
day higher prices were offered for copies. When
the papers reached the Capitol Building raid was
made upon the newsboys BY the pages to get copies
for Assemblymen and Senators, and soon the atten-
uon OF the members was practically lost TO present
legislation aud was fixed upon the printed story OF
the dramatic scene enacted yesterday at the Grand
opera House. Popular sentiment was all one way
