PROCLAMATION.

BELOVED SUBJECTS: Once again His Ma
iesty bids me send tidings Of our coming,
which event will transpire in the City Of At
lauta, on the 9th Of January, 1876.
See that Smiles and Rejoicings mark his
welcome; that business cares and social Sor-
rows are cast into closets where the family
skeleton holds communion with itself.
HIS MAJ EsTY congratulates you upon the
success OF your enterprises, and fills the Roy
al beaker with generous wine and drinks to
the bottom happiness to all! Verify the
golden corn is garnered and the rich grape
melows in the Autumn sun.
Viii, winged PEACE is perched upon our
helmet, and jolity resounds throughout our
realm. A few more siivered hairs bes!rew
our Royal brow, tits true, but our heart is
Young and as froicSome as Of olden time.
We have now completed our 555S:h year, full
of strength and wisdom; plethoric with hu-
NOR and anxious for the we'll being Of our
beloved people.
HIS MAJESTY congratulates your country
upon the completion of its Que Hundredth
Anniversary of independence. You keep
apace with the world, and in many instances
outstrip the grandeur of Europe. For SO
young thing this is truly wonderful; and
Him tells it in our Royal presence that our
full of pluck! Now. by our Royal signet
this seemeth we'll, and when our entrance is
made you shall have grand testimony of our
love.
HIS MAJESTY recalls with much pleasure
the last reception given to US, and offers no
suggestion as TO improvement, being salts
fed that the cynic and moraliSt in YOUR
midst willingly accord one period in twelve
month when High Carnival usurps the dull
method of mundane affairs. Let loose the
merry tongue! and cook the Royal goose;
for bv our blood we'll have no tears nor Ia
mentations!
Old and young; the grave and gay shall
alike assemble to do honor to our coming;
and he who ESSAYS to blunt the keen edge of
fun shall pay the forfeit Of his beard
Hark We! We have stayed some days in
japan and China since last we met; the pco-
ple have heard of your Carnival, and re-
ioiced thereat. 'Tis we'll! Let our most jo-
vial Majesty be made thrice welcome this
year; and as time rolls on will these recur-
ring periods keep alive youth. and humor;
for tits not in years We grow aged! but in
courting gloom and sorrow, and magn'fying
troubles. Behold our Roval self! how fresh
and green our heart! how merry our phlz!
Your years are full Of youth and strength,
ana plenty Smiles ef d HapPy !onu' Aou
are blessed with great agricultural success.
Him tells it that the snowy cotton clothes
every hill and valley until your glorious sun
nv cline seemed canopied with Greenland,s
chilly snow. Verify, we shout aloud our
Royal rejoicings thereat.
And now, until January 9th, 1876, you
will await our coming; and as each succeed
ing year makes improvement upon its pre-
decesSor, so, let this occasion be grand
one! Until that day, nor storming seas nor
winds shall debar our journey, but swift as
arrows we come needless of time Or place.
Yours in affection, RcA.
Done by Royal order in the pleasant shades
of Talambrosa, in the 5558th year Of our
Reign, and in the year Of the world 1875.
