YOKOHAMA, JAPAN, Jan. %, 1880.-We
are Just returned from visit to Shiba,
a district of Toxic where are the grounds
of the great Buddhist temple, burned in
1878, and the magni6o mt tombs of the
Shoguns.
Shiba, interpreted means green sward, or
grassy place, and it is rightly named, I am
sure, for though it is winter now, and the
place comparatively desolate, it is the love-
Hest spot and the grandest have ever looked
upon. We have not yet seen Nikko, where
some of the great princes are buried, for the
weather has been too cold for q weeks trip
into the interior, and though Nikko is said
to surpass Shiba in gorgeousness and beauty
it seems to US impossible.
The Japanese have saying, "see Nikko
and die" And though, of course, cannot
tell how shall feel after seing Nikko, it
seemed to me to-day that it would not be SO
dreadful to be dead, if one could lie so safe
ly and 80 quietly and so remembered as do
those honored rulers whose sepulchres we
visited. Six of them sleep at Shiba, six at
Nyeno, and two at Nikko. Entering peb-
