birthday of the Mikado and, it ID
safe to say, that the anniversary
of Nov. 3, 1853, on which day em
peror Mutsuchito was born, was
never celebrated with so much EN-
thusiasm and so generally as this
year. Chrysanthemums ruled the
anthemum, being the crest Of the
Emperor, the flower stands in high
esteem in Japan and is extensively
used in the occasion of the emper>
or's birthday, to add beauty and
color to the artistic decorations in
which the Japanese excel. J.
The victorious ending of the war,
but few weeks ago. the warlike
enthusiasm so recently rekindled
by the triumphant return of the
Japanese fleet and the presence in
the city of large body of soldiers,
greatly contributed to give to the
celebration today a decidedly mar
tial color. +.
