Away back In the year 1850 , during the
administration of Mr. Jluchnnan , an embassy
from the Japanese empire visited this coun

under Commodore- . O. I'crry a number of
years before.
Their Unit of ceremony being nt an end ,
our government delernilned to send this
embassy back In a national war ship und ns
the frigate Niagara was at that tlmo ( tie
largest , as well as ono of the most
formidable war vessels afloat , It was selected
by tbo Navy department for this mission and
aalled early In July , 1860 , for Japan vita
the embassy on board ,
H was the privilege of the writer to have
served on hoard the Niagara during this
orulso and It left our shores Just after thu
principal conventions had nominated tholt
candidates for the presidency.
AB our way out to the China station was
made under Bull , notwithstanding tlie ship
had been equipped with auxllllary machlii.

weary the heart grows In walling three long ,
long years before returning from what seems
to us almost banishment , honorable , It Is

the remote frontiers of civilization , where
wo stand for the great power of right nnd

respect for Its flag so profound.
The flag , too , has u personality to us. H

Slogeo In the city of Yeddo was fitted up for
the reception and entertainment of our offi
cers.
cers.Tho
The great city of Yoddo was laid out dally
during our stay Into Interesting districts for
vUlts of Inspection ,
The routes along which wo were escorted
were , as a HI If , clctsely packed with uatlVEH ,
who were curlcus to see the white foreigner
for the first tlmo In their liven. Hut In no
Instance during these excursions > was any
Incivility or rudeness manifested , though on
all sides there was that natural curiosity to
got a closer look at the long-haired white
man. In this the pretty Japanese woman
was , ns a rule , moro conspicuous than the
man , and I dare say there are many matrons
living now In ToKIo who can remember a
bright button conferred In response to some
roguish Importunity.
A l.oiiur Trip Iloinp.
After our mission had been completed and
the presents from our government to that of
Japan had been landed , -wo started on our
return to Chinese waterti In the winter of
1S60-G1. Reaching Hong Kong , the United
States minister , Mr. Ward , had authority to
return to thej United States , and the
Niagara wn directed to take him to India ,
and thence to tha mouth of the lied ea ,
whore he took steamer for Europe , and ulti
mately homo.
This duty performed , the Niagara pro-
cceded from Aden to the Comoro Islands ,
northwest of Madagascar , nnd lastly to Cape
Town , In South Africa. Our voyage home
was In length somewhat longer than that
going out , and nothing was known of the
fall election that had already taken place ,
although there waa considerable anxiety on
board among the officers and men , as our
complement Included many from both sec-
tlona ,
On the day of election , however , a vote
was taken on board ship , with tbo result
that Mr. Lincoln received a majority of the
votes cast. Until the ship bad reached the

Hong Kong , the pilot followed this In
formation with another question :
"Ain't you heard nothing at all since sailIng -
Ing ? "
"No , " replied the captain. "Nothing at
all , as wo have touched nowhere since leav
ing the Capo of Good Hope. There was no
nowB there when wo sailed. "
Dolllver'a reply to this assurance I shall
never forget , It was ns forcible as It was
emphatic and as lmpre ° slvo ns words could
possibly make It , oven If It was a little in
elegant.
"Well , gentlemen , the country la all
busted to h 1. "
An HxL'lliMl Slilp'N Compim- ,
Whllo this colloquy was going on between
the pilot and the captain the ship's company
had crowded aft In both gangways and , like
the officers , were Intensely anxious to hear
what the news might ho. What Dolllvcr
had said so emphatically had. reached their
ears and had touched their hearts. Tears
started from eyes that were not accustomed
to weeping and coursed down the cheeks
of those "bronzed old heroes. It could 'be '
seen that a firm resolve to stick loyally to
the old flag tlrnt liad lloatod In honor over
their lives and fortunes had gone deep Into
their aouls , for almost Immediately every
eye i\as turned upward -toward the peak ,
where the old Hag was floating peacefully
and majestically , and Intuitively every head
was uncovered In homage.
Itwas an experience never to bo for-
frotten and the sight of those bronzed old
heroes , with hcada uncovered to the dear ol 1
Hug , taught my young hmrt in a few mo
ments a whole volume of patriotism. I had
been born In a slave-holding state and had
been roared surrounded by by colored chil
dren and was Influenced to some extent by
the -prejudiced which tbo In&titutlon of
slavery had engendered , but when It bo-
cnmo necessary to decide off Ilnston harbor
whether the love of state waa to bo superior
to the love of country nnd my prl le In Ha
glories and In Us history , there -was no
trouble after the bight I had witnessed
when Pilot Dolllvcr came aboard.
An 1 IIII > I * < * NN | vi SIMMH * .
Reaching Hoston harbor In the midst of
deep excitement nnd deeper feelings nmong
those holding opposite views , a number of
our ofllcers decided to abandon iho causa
of the union for that of the confederacy
then established. Those who were loyal
were merely required to subscribe anew to
their oath of allegiance , After carefully
examining this now document it wag not
dlfllcult to i enow my allegiance at a moment
'when eo many were abandoning our cause.
The scene off the highlands "when " Uolllver
came on 'board ' had graven Its Impicsslon
too surely upon my heart. Those uncovered
heads , those .tearful eyes , these loving , loyal
looks of thu 'faithful old bronrcd faces , who
had knonn no other love and whn were too
old then to begin nnow. had fashioned my
young fanclra , too , nnd after I had renewed
my allegiance In the cabin of the dcnr old
commodcro I leaked up and found I Iliad done
so standing directly under a scuttle leading
to the poop deck und directly under the
folds of the old lias as It was gracefully
unfolding Itbelf to a light hrecin , all the
more dear to mo now after the exposures wo
have undergone and the perils of Kcrvlcu to
which our lives ha > o been devoted In helpIng -
Ing others 'to ' uphold It the 'world ' over , for
those of our land who In their tlmo and turn
are to follow us In holding fast to the teach
ings of our fa tli era and , like them , to pre
serve the Inheritance of this blessed land
of liberty for these who follow them.
