WHAT THE EMPEROR THINKS OF THE AMERICAN Dk

Into this department the American party did not
follow His Majesty, but stood at the door awaiting
his coming again, circled around Mr.. Jay, specu.
lating upon the visit, and saying what might have
been and what we all hoped would be In PhladeL
phia. At another door stood Sir Andrew Buchanan,
the English Ambassador in Vienna; Mr. owen, the
secretary Of the British Commission, and body o.
commissioners anxiousy waiting for the Emperor
tocome. In little time His Majesty returned and
passed along to the door. Here his eye was ar

riety, the odd, incessant efforts to win medals OF
progress and renown and merit and honor, which
inspire the gentlemen who manage this industry,
have given constant motion and life to the Ameri-
can department. So, when His Majesty came into
the sewing machine department every effort was
made by our Commissioners to introduce him to
each special machine and explain its peculiar
qualities. Let me give you list Of the machines

Majesty was asked to do. First, the Howe Ma

Howe Machine Company, and examined for some
time the original model machine made by Elias
Howe, the inventor, which is sacredly kept in q
glass case, like the Declaration OF independence
or the constitution Of the United States. The
little queer, oldfashioned, brass-mounted appa-
ratus was explained by Mr.. @. w. Howe a member
OF the inventors family, His Majesty asking
great many questions, especially inquirng
the difference between this original machine, as 1t
stood there and the machines with the latest i'm

ANOTHER FIRE IN BosroN.-t'n the 3Oth ult.,
the fre tend again commenced his remorseless
work onthe fire-strieken city OF Boston. The
confiagration started at about 8 o'clock in the

rapidity. The losses are said to be in the neigh.

by this recent tire were also among the victims

THE CHINESE EMBRoGLIo.

For weeks past the "sensaton paper Of the
Pacific coast has been allied with rampant ed.
toria1s on the Chinese question. and has plenti.
fully besprinkled the same with mention Of
leprosy, contagious diseases and the like, until
they have SO worked upon the minds of the
"powers that be-" or the Supervisors Of San
Francisco that that body have passed some of
the most uncivilized ordinances ever known
among a Christian people. For instance, 1t is
ordered that every Celestial hereafter imprisoned
shall have his cue cut on and head shaved, in
conformity with police regulations and all
laundrynen shall be assessed fifteen dollars per
head for doing business and other laws similar.
II is well known fact that Chinaman would
sooner have his head cut of than lose his tall"
and that 1t has been the custom to assess China
men wherever found and in whatever business,
exhorbitantly, for licenses, etc. All this may be
right enough In the view of the Chronicle but is
far from being just to people whom our
own acts, or the acts Of our Government, have
induced to come hither. By the course adopted
in San Francisco, evil-disposed persons Of the
genus hoodlum will at once consider they have
q perfect right now to msltreat or murder any
thing having the remotest resemblance to
Chinanan. While we deplore the increase Of
immigration from the Flowery Kingdom as much
as any one can, 1t still does not seem in accord
with our liberal institutions, or in conformity
with our free government, to first make treaties
such as the Burlingame treaty, induce immigra-
tion, and then oppress the innocent subjects
who visit our land in response to drafts made
upon them by the heads of various companies

DECORATION DAY AT SALT LAKE.

The Salt Lake papers have lately come to us
filled with the proceedings of the committee
appointed to make arrangements for the proper
celebration in that city Of Decoration Day. The
Finance Committee. after having collected funds
from citizens there, irrespective Of political OF
social creeds presented the same to the meeting.
and, on q vote, that portion subscribed by the
Mormons for the purpose Of having proper
observance Of the day was refused. and an order
given 10 refund the same. We all know that
the Mormons were enemies of the United States
Government during the late war that they lost
no opportunity Of making thst fact manifest !,
but why not have refused the subscription given
by them at the time the collections were being
made Why receive from them and then attempt
to return the amount donated? The rebels were
enemies of the North during the war. but we
very much doubt IL gift from one of them
would be refused; on the contrary, in nnny
instances we have heard Of both Union and Con-
fedrate soldiers joining in together to pay hon.
ors TO the heroes Of both factions. Would II not
be better to sink these prejudices. which seem
to be growing up all over the country. regarding
Decoration Day. and unite. whether under the
auspices OF the G. A. H., which many think is

tion and regard for those who have fallen.
such exhibitions of feeling, which seem not
only to have afflicted the Mormon community.
but also to have caused division in the ranks of
our own soldiers. seems to be uncalled for and
very much out of place.

Chief of the Bureau asserts that the
attempts at initiating the government

been unsuccessful thus far, and that
the counterfciting of the $50 United
States notes was only in part success,
the face being very coarsely engraved.
This official does not, however, allude
TO the counterfeit $500 note. which is
such an excellent imitation as to de-
coive even some experts, and which
will sooner or later cause the Treasury

among the Kickapoo indians, the prin.
clple upon which the weapons are con-
structed was not exactly understood.
Jumping Bear got hold of one. the
barrel OF which opened at the rear with
spring, and was attached to the stock
with hinge. The chief got it open,
and put the cartridge in, and then he
was deeply perplexed to know how to
get the barrel back in its place again.
After making sundry futile efforts. he
abandoned the attempt, and carried
the gun around with the stock hanging
loose. He thought he would use il as
club, at any rate, even if it wouldn't
shoot One day, soon afterward, he
became engaged in discussion
with an Arrapahoe Indian-prob-
ably on the subject of Cesarism, or
hired girls, or the price of mutton, or
something Of the sort--and he attempt
ed to convince the other gentleman of
the unsoundness of his views by whang-
ing him over tho head with a demora1-

barrel with slam, exploded the cart

feigned establishment. His bcreaved
family negle ted to load up that sacred
relic OF their departed head until they
had taken 4 few lessons; but now,
when an Arrapahoe Indian presents

or such things, they perforate him

A Gas-Propelied Boat.

MIR. William A. Leggo, of Montreal,
Canada, is the author of novel meth
cd of propelling vessels. designed es-
pecially for canal-boats, to overcome
the difficulties of horse towage. He
discards steam wheels, ropes, and 9th
or common contriyances All that Mr..
Leggo uses is a large bent pipe which
is attached To the stern Of the vessel,
tho mouth of the pipe being placed
under water, pointing stern-wise. The
pipe rises to the deck, and at the upper
end OF the pipe is a gas-light and
valves that open inward for the admis.
sion Of hydrogen gas and atmospheric
air. As soon as enough hydrogen and
air have entered--to-wit, two parts Of
hydrogen to one of oxygen-the mix.
ture takes fire from the gas light, an
explosion ensues, the valves are closed,
and the great pressure produced finds
vent at the mouth Of the pipe, acting
against the water and driving the boat
ahead. The valves then open again,
the gassea flow IN, new explosion
takes place, and so ON. The explosions
follow with as much rapidity az the
motions Of a steam engine piston, and
thus the boat soon acquires a regular
velocity. Whether the manufacture,
cost and storage of the gas, and the
working OF the gaseous motor, will
equal the economies and conveniences
of steam power, and its propelling ap-
purtenances, remains for Mr.. Leggo to
ascertain by trial. Scientific 1meri.
