Believe sir, 1t affords me the sncerest pleasure to
find American skill thus appreciated in far distant land
and to have been rendered the medium for extending
knowledge of the ingenuity of my countrymen.

Your very obedient servant


JOHN HowARp PAYNE.
For Mr.. Horace H. Day, Maiden Lane, New York


We have seen this beautiful box, and we congra-
uate its fortunate possessor this magnificent l
butte to his genius 1t was forwarded to Mr.. Day
with great care by John Howard Payne, who has
so long and ably represented our country abroad
Setting aside the intrinsic value OF the present
which cannot be less than f5O0 sterling, and quite
equal in value and splendor to the one sent some
years since to President Jackson-the box contains
very ingenious compliment to the skill of Mr.. Day,
and will doubtless be treasured a rich heirloom
in his family. The rim OF the box is studded with
large diamonds of great value, while the briliants
on the cover are very ingeniousy arranged so to
represent boat From the bow rises diamond
flower, the forgetme-not, as token OF the Pacha's
grateful remembrance, and in the stern, the little
flower Imm0teite, equivalent in entallanguage to
"May you live forever" while in the centre rises
the India Rubber Tree, around which serpent en-
twines thus denoting the application OF science to
the manufacture of Caoutchouc, and that nature
Yields to human skill, comforts Injuries and for
tunes. 1t must be deeply gratifying to Mr.. Day to
find that his ingenuity ls justly appreciated by TO-
reigners while at the time 1t is highly credita
BILE to our country, that we have among us those,
whose genius and skill elicit such magnificent testl-
monials of admiration.
