Most Imposing Pageant of His Tour Was in the Flowery Kingdom. “There was no pageant in General Grant’s journey around the world more imposing than the reception given by the Mikado at Japan’s capital,” writes John Russell Young in the Ladies’ Home Jour- nal. *‘The United States steamer Richmond, bearing General Grant and his party, steamed into Yokohama, the harbor of Tokio, escorted by the Ashuelot and a Japanese man-of-war, on July 3, 18: There was assemubled a fleet of war- ships of other powers. At noon the admiral’s barge, flying General Grant's flag as ex-President, and conveying the general and wife, Prince Dati, Minister Bingham and Minister Yoshida, slowly pushed for the shore, and on the instant every naval vessel manned yards and fired the American National salute. The day was as beautiful as days of which we dream—a blue. cloudless sky, a soothing, lapping sea. The sudden transformation from this sleepy, lezy silent summer day into the turbulence and clangor of war, the roar of cannon, the music—every band playing an Ameri- can air—the manned yards, the officers on deck in full dress and saluting, the barge as it passed, the cheers of the multitude thronging the shore, fan- tastic day nreworks, the cannon smoke banking into clouds, tbe barge moving with slow, steady stroke—all formed a brilliant nd “extraordinary scene. As the Admiralty steps were approached there in waitng stood the Imperial Princes, the Ministers and the high officials of the reaim, in the splendor of their runk and station. As the general stepped on shore the Japanese guns thundered their greeting, the bands playea ‘The Star-spangled Banner, and Mr. Iwakura, the venerable Prime Min- ister, advanced, and takinz the gen- eral's hand, in the name of the Empercr welcomed him to Japan, Reach- ing Tokio after an hour in the train the city authorities met us with an address, and the Mikado's state carriage, throuch a continuous, double line of infantry standing at ‘present,’ conveyed the gen- eral to the Imperial Palace of Enriok- wan. e Excessive tea-drinking shatters the nervous sysiem, weakens the brain, in- jures the appetite, disturbs the digestive organs and causes cold feet.
