Presented To Corea's King

The Argus congratulates Minister . M. B. Sill on having safely kept ïimself and his three initials out of he war kettles and broth pots of Corea. Intelligence is received by way of Washington that Minister Sill, undaunted by civil strife and he thousands of troops parading he streets of Seoul, boldly worked ïimself to the throne ot royalty, where, having loosened his susjenders, he let himself out at the oints a couple of inches all around and made an imposing United States bow to the slant-eyed son of a Tartar who sits on the throne. This was their first meet, and the king is reported to have been greatly gratiïed with the friendly feeling professed by Americans for Corea. The professor's success in penetrating the retreat of Tartaric royalty amid the surrounding hazard of such an attempt, with a rebellion boiling over and running down the sides of the península, increases our pride and raises the price of the stock we own in hira. And yet we knew he would not fail. He had seen too many years of active service as commodore of the Ypsilanti "whaling fleet" to take a bluff from 15,000 or 20,000 Corean rebels.
