The Indiana State sentinel., 1874-02-10

Mrs. Yano is Ike The Japanese interests
are very hkely.to suffer to's great extent in
this country, owing to the fact that the Jap
anese house in this city is divided against
itself, and n1sst therefore fall Mr..
Takaki became Charge d'Affaires when
Mori went away, an6asnaturally expeo-
peeted to remaiR so. But the iron entered
INTO his soul v7asn the dsSpotic home gov
eminent
/ sI1ST OUT MR.XANo
20 act in that capacity. This was such a
bfOw TO Takai1Ss pride that he left the house
of the Legation and is now TOominv out
near tine Georgetown Cemetery, in whose
surroundings he finds sympathy with his
I gloomy thoughts. The funniest member of
the Japanese legation is Mr.. Hang-o ASA
10, dwaIf, who is. trife over tour feet in
height. He looks like one of the elks that
prosecuted Gabriel Grub. he was at the re-
ception of tia Secretarysof State tie other
day. When the time came tor refreshments
the usual rush began and little Mr.. Assano
would have Jared badly had not hearty
Notwithstanding old gentleman caught
him up, as If he were a baby, and passed him
over the hesAs of the crowd. But Mr. Assano
is by no means baby IN years, but a mar
rled man VIA Responsibilities. The beney-
olent old gentleman above mentioned is an
American, who seems 20 be great friend of
the Japanese and especial admirer sof As
sano's. At receptions. he is always with the
latter, and treats him with the most endear-
ing familiarities. One evening the old gem
tleman amEsed the distinguished crowd by
picking up. Assano by the ears, and. then
playfully describing elliptical cirele with
Fthe distinguished JAMS heels. Think of the
flower of the Japanese aristocrasy being
treated in such maner. But he did not
seem to mind it. Perhaps it appeared to him
only another custom of this benigAted land.
