Around the world with General Grant: a narrative of the visit of General , ex-president of the United States, to various countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, in 1877, 1878, 1879To which are added certain conversations with General Grant on questions connected with American politics and history . t, a Japanesebreakfast of multitudinous and curious dishes, and after break-fast we rode home. We passed on our way the walls sur-rounding the home of the dethroned Tycoon. That once-dreaded monarch is now a pensioner, and lives a life of seclu-sion and study. The drive back was picturesque and pleasant,in all respects most interesting as our first unruffled glimpse ofJapan. The roads were smooth, the streams were covered withround stone bridges, and there were brooks with clear runningwater. We stopped at a tea-house to allow our jinrickshawmen to cool themselves and drink, and saw heaps of the greentea-leaves ready to be cured. On our return to the village wefound the whole town waiting for us, and as we rolled down tothe beach, the people came flying and tramping after. Duringthe night we kept on in a slow, easy pace, and in the morningat ten we saw the hills of Yokohama, and heard the guns ofthe Monongahela—Admiral Pattersons flagship—thunderout their welcome to General HE HARBOR OF YOKOHAMA.
