were employed to make the display on
our side as impressive as possible All
told, the Americans numbered something
like five hundred, including officers, sail
ors. and marines, occupying about thir-
ty boats, which advanced toward the
shore in line abreast AS we marched
Up the beach the bands played, and
howitzers mounted in the bows of the
boats fired in unison salute of twenty
one guns in honor of the Emperor.
1t was really a wonderful spectacle,
and was additionally interesting because
it represented the elimination of a great
historical episode. Being only Junior
officer | was not admitted to the inner
apartment of the Treaty House." as
we called it, wherein the negotiations
were brought to final conclusion. The
transaction consisted in the delivery to
the commodore of the Emperor's an
swer, which expressed his willingness to
make treaty with the United States
covering several important points. In
the first place, certain ports were to be
opened to our trade, and our ships were
to be permitted to purchase supplies at
prices to be fixed later. AS for the rest,
the most noteworthy item was that our
sailors, when shipwrecked on the shores
of Japan, were to receive Succor, where
as previously they had been customarily
imprisoned. Everything was very sat
isfactory, and the commodore, having
offered to the high commissioners
draft of a treaty such as he thought
would fill all requirements, withdrew.
Then followed the presentation of
gifts, brought by the squadron, which
had been specially prepared for the
purpose in the United States. Among
them. | remember, were baskets of
champagne, casks of whiskey, several
rifles. a telescope Tor the Emperor, half
a dozen clocks, some stoves, and
quantity of vegetable seeds. But what
delighted the Japanese most was a
number of mechanical inventions, a
mong which were lifeboats, telegraph
instruments and batteries, and last, but
not least, a locomotive and tender, with
a passenger-car and rails complete.
The Japs went fairly wild over the
railroad, though it was only a minia-
ire affair, with tiny locomotive that

them, and my recollection is that they
consisted chiefly of silk stuffs, fans,
lacquer boxes, porcelain, and swords.
Also, there was a collection of specI-
mems of Japanese money-which was
rather surprising, in view of the fact
that up to that time the coin OF the
realm had not been allowed to go out of
the kingdom. 41n of these presents,
understand, have been packed for many
years in wooden boxes in the national
museum, and only the other day it was
suggested that it might be worth while
to place them on exhibition as relics
of historical interest.
By this time the feeling of uneasi-
ness in regard to Our intentions had
passed away, and was replaced by mark
ed friendliness and cordially. Formal
tiles were somewhat relaxed, and the
Japanese, in order to afford us amuse-
ment, brought upon the scene number
of wrestlers, who gave us an exhibition
of their prowess. They were all very
big men and enormously powerful. The
wrestlers of Japan form caste by
themselves, never marrying outside of
it, and thus they have attained great
stature and size through a process of
breeding such as, so far as | am aware,
has not been applied TO human beings
in any other recorded instance. They
used4to belong to the feudal daimios
under the old repirne, who took great
pride in them, and were accustomed to
enter them in contests for prizes.
The occasion | describe was one of
much merriment, indeed, and of general
good feeling. Our marines were put
through drill and the bands from our
ships furnished lively music. When we
took our departure the Japanese com
missioners accepted an invitation to
dine on board the Powf1atan, and, when
they came, we took care to give them
good time. The commodore enter

eminent transacted all of its foreign
business at Nagasaki, and requesting
the commodore to leave the Bay of
Yeddo at once
Now this might have seemed rather
discouraging, but the commodore did
not view it in that light He had &C
complished his object, which was to
place the Presidents letter in the hands
of the Emperor of Japan. The cere-
n1ony being completed, he left the coun-
cil-hall in state, as he had arrived, and
returned to his ships, which had been
moved up near to the landing place, in
order to command the scene of negotia-
tions with their guns (their decks be-
ing cleared for action), in case of at
tempted treachery In response to the
order to leave, he did pull up his an
chors-not to go away however, but
to steam further up the bay.
The squadron consisted of four YES
sels-two steamers, the Susquehanna
and Mississippi, and the sloops-of-war
Saratoga and Plymouth. 1t was not a
very formidable fleet. but strong enough
to whip any force the Japs could have
mustered, inasmuch as their best war
vessels were only junlls, and their few
cannon were primitive and of small
caliber. Doubtless they were much re-
lieved to see us sail away, as we did
after doing little more surveying in
the upper bay, and it may be that they
thought they would never see us again,
though the commodore had left word
with Prince Idzu that he would come
back in the following spring for the
Emperor's answer.
Before the beginning of the next year
the Japanese government sent word to
Commodore Perry, through the Dutch
traders, that the Emperor was dead. As
it turned out, this was true, but our
commander did not feel sure of it, and
he was. by no means disposed to &C
cept the suggestion, conveyed with the
message. that it would be impossible
under the circumstances to renew the
negotiations for a long time to come.
Accordingly, early in February, 1854
we found ourselves once more in the
Bay of Yeddo, our squadron on this
occasion comprising eight vessels, three
of which were steamers-the Powhatan,

and escorted by most of the officers of

panied by his suite he entered the great
wooden house which had been erected
for the occasion, where, after going
through many forms of Oriental polite
ness, he placed in the hands of Prince
ldzu, the Emperor's representative. the

own credentials, the documents being

1t has been said that wonder is the

are, beyond all other people, inquisitive,

that most excited our attention when we
first met them. They marvelled to see

his curiosity that the Jap has made such
progress in the world-a progress which
in fifty years has enabled his country to
absorb all that the Western nations
know But, probably, it would be put
ting the fact more correctly to say that
the curiosity of the Japanese is merely
manifestation of the superior intelligence
which has enabled him to achieve the
nlarvels placed to his credit.

Tuesday evening, The opera
house was filled to OVERLOOKING
at the appointed hour and the
speakers were welcomed with Il
roof raising applause on their
appearance on the platform.
The evening was opened by a
short speech from Judge Preblo,
who is the democratic candi-
date for the Office of Judge Of
this district, who outlined the
duties and responsibilities o.
Of the Office to which he is seek
ing election. He was followed
by Mr.. McCaulley, who is try.
ing to be the prosecuting attor-
ney for tets county for the next
four years. This gentleman is
avery pleasant speaker and
made a hit nth the audience
with one or two nicely told
stories. He said he and the
Judge were merely the handles
to the skillet and that he would
not make the handle too long
but would retire and give the
skillet chance. The skillet
proved to be Farmer Todd the
old warhorse who has grown
grey on the political platform.
We are of the opinion that Mr..
McCaulley chose a poor smile
when he called the Farmer
skillet, because the old gentle
man just naturally burned up
everything he touched. Ike

his time in criticising the
speech of Judge Root of the

auditors going down tVe lin,

there were cries for more when
he quit.
