Although it oscurred on the 17th of the month, it cannot have loz: its interest even to those who read only for news; and, therefore, I sball now give a ful and faithful account—sucn is the hackneyed phrass— of the whole ceremony as witnessed by myself. Ate quarter-past eleven on the morning of présenta- tion, eight carrisges were drawn up near the private en- trace to the hotel in Fourenth street, where « greater crowd than usual had assembled. A few minutes later eight muscular looking, ewarthy faced Japanese emerged from the hotel, and stationed themeclves on either sife of the steps which the chief men of the Embassy had to de- scend in order to reach their carrisges. Each of these men bore aloft a pole, about twelve feet long by eight inches in circumference, on the top of which was fixed a ttrange device, no two betog slike. Oneof these wasin the form of a balf moon, another in that of a star; a third a equare biock, painted in red and gold; the fourth resembled a batchet; the fifth, the head of a spear; the sixth, a gilt croes; the seventh, in the form of a flower known as the prince’s feather, and the eighth in that of & Maltcee cross. All these devices were beautiful specl- mens of chroma-metallurgy, and the poles were equally chaste im their Incquering and jalaying. Taese were the Ataffs of office. Soon after these halbert bearers had taken up tholr positions, the chief Ambassador made his appearance, leaning on the arm of the senior officer of the naval com- mission, who conducted him to his carriage, and after- wards took his place on the opposite seat. This grandee, whore cight servants knelt and bowed thetr heads to- wards the ground as he passed them, was arrayed in full court costume, which in Japan is worn only on state ccrasions. On the crown of his head he wore a bieck ornament, the sign of rank and ceremony. shaped ikea band, about four inches wide by fifteen long, bent in the middie, and tied at the ends, and having some re- temblaxce to a lady's workbox.
