YOKOHAMA, J AP AK, April 28.-A fright? ful fire occurred in Yeddo, daring a ? severe gale, destroying habitations cover? ing a apaoe of two by three miles. The fire originated in one of the Prince's late palaces, whioh was occupied by troops. The flames leaped over, whole blocks of 'buildings, and set fire to placea a mile distant from the building in whioh the ;fire began. An immense amount of property was destroyed. Where the wounded and lame were nnable to es? cape, the officials slashed right and left with their swords, and thus saved many persons from the moro awful fate of 'burning. 80,000 persons are homeless. The Government opened rice store? houses, and fed all who applied.

To YOUNO MEN.-A gentleman writing to the New York Timen tells the follow? ing truthful story: A friend of mine, who is at the head of one of our Government others, has in his employ a large number of clerks, among whom was a strong, bright boy, occupying a subordinate position, the duties of whioh the boy filled creditably and satisfactorily for a few years. At the end of that time, a vacancy occur? red. The boy (then just grown) applied for the advancement. "No," Bald my friend, "I cannot give you tho situa? tion." "I think, sir, I am quite capable of filling that place, and I would do my best." "I cannot give it to you, and 1 what is more, I do not intend to let you 1 remain here in any position." "How, sir, in what have I failed to givo you 1 satisfaction? I have always done my 1 duty." "YOB, and it is that I think well of you that I wish yon to do botter; you \ can never be anything more here than a ' clerk. It is a miserable life for a young man to begin upon. You will pass the ! best of your life here, and at fifty have no maro salary and have done no more ? than you now do at twenty. You have , an uncle who is a butoher; you are a 1 good accountant, write a good hand, are ] honest and bright, and with those ' qualities your uncle will be glad to take you with him.- Eighteen months 1 after this conversation, a nice little 1 wagon and horse drove up to the office, a very well-dressed, fine-looking young man got out. It was the ex-clerk ooma to thank his former employer for the advice he had given him. He said : ' "If it had not been for you, su*, I would ' bave gone droning on in ?bia Tontine of olerkship all my lifo; whereas now my ancle has taken me into partnership. We have a large market shop and are 1 ioinga paying business." It seems to 1 me that this story might point a way ont 1 at difficulties of finding situations for | unemployed clerks. I have told it ax- . lotly as it occurred, forbearing to altor 1 the trade of butcher for one that would mit a fastidious taste io? agreeable sur- 1 roundings. For myself, I would prefer ' having a large market shop to being all ' my life a shabby-genteel clerk. j CHEAP, BUT HONEST.-Many years ago, when Judge Robert M. Charlton, of ' Savannah, Ga., was quite a young man, ! he, in company with bis father, Hon. ? D. P. Charlton, spent every summer in ' the delightful village of Clarksville, Northern Georgia. One day Robert was passing along the ' street in Clarksville, and it happening to 1 be election day-members of Congress ' were then elected by what is called the general ticket system-was met by a ver? dant but honest voter of tho mountains, who accosted him thus: "Mr. Charlton, are yon the man that ] is running for Congress?" "No, sir, I am no candidato-my fa- ' thar is, however. But may I ask why ' this inquiry?" 1 "Nothing, only I havn't voted yet." ' "If it is consistent with your feelings, theo, I would like it if you would vote for my father." "I would just as soon vote for him us 1 for anybody." I Mr. Charlton thanked him, and think- ! ?og, perhaps, his friend was seeking a ~ treat, invited him into a neighboring tavern. "What will you take?" "I never drink anything, but I see they have ginger oakes. I'd as lief take one of them with you as not." "Very well. Give ns a cake." "My brother is in town with me." "AU right. Take him a cake with my respects." Another cake was purchased and paid for, and the two then parted-"Greeny" to find his brother ana Mr. Charlton to ?oin in the merry dance with his yonng friends in the parlor hard by. "The golden honrs on angels' wings" passed rappidly away with Mr. Charlton. His friend was soon forgotten. Late in the evening there was a pause in the danoo, and pur verdant friond, mnoh to the surprise of every one, stalked into the parlor, and inquired for Mr. Charl? ton. Of course all eyes wore directed to our friend os he approached Mr. Charlton. Drawing from his bosom a four-by-six inoh cake, he said: "Mr. Charlton, here's your cake. My brother voted afore I seed him." Mr. Wade, the British Minister, was lately assaulted in Pekin by a paok of young "Heathen Chinee." They called him "foreign devil," and hit him on the head. He "went for" them officially, and the urohins explained that they had "mistaken their man." * * s y riiwnctav pin? Damm?rel?i. | - LONDOJT, 'J?ay 16 -Noon.-Consols opened afc 981^. Bonds 90.

An utter stranger called an a respectable farmer last week, and laked him if bia house had not been robbed during the war. The farmer re? plied that it bad. "I," ?aid the stranger, "waa one of the marauding party that took it. I took a little silver locket. " "That locket," said the farmer, bursting into tears, "baa been worn by my dear, Jead child." "Here it is," replied the stranger, visibly affected; "I am rich; let me make restitution ; here are $20 for your little son." He gave the farmer a ?50 bill and reoeived $30 in change. He then wrung the farmer's hand warmly ind left. Tho farmer has since dried his tears and loaded his shot-gun. The 550 bill was bad. TELEOBAPHT ON A LARQE SCALE. Some idea of the work of telegraphy may be obtained from the number ot words sent from Cincinnati during the late convention. From April 24, when thecouveutiou nows began to be sent, to the night of May 3, inclusive, the total special despatches and regular re? ports transmitted over tho Western Union Telegraph showed the large num? ber of 571,541 words. Tho reports ?vere more extensive, we believe, than sver before sent from a convention in this oountry. According to latest Parisian advices, the oity is busily preparing for the com? ing season. The streets are being re? paved, the asphalts renewed, trees have avery where been replanted, the Rue Royale no longer presents any of the ! sad traces of the incendiary, tho Place ie la Concorde is being roplaoed stone by stone, and the Aro de Triomphe will soon have forgotten the "rural bombs." The Bois has recovered ita former beau? ty, and the Champs Elysees are throng ad daily. * Women in Australia perform the duties ol bricklayers' laborers, and may be seen carrying hods of mortar and baskets of bricks up high ladders. More than this, they dig and wheel barrow? of "ballast" almost as nimbly as the men. They ohop wood, they carry water, they offer to black your boots in tho streets, and perform many other little offices which, according to our notions, do not, and should not, comb under tho denomina? tion of "women's work." The trasses of the old part of the roof of the Basilica of St. Paul, at Rome, wore framed in 816, and were sound and good in 1814, a spaoo of nearly 1,000 years. These trusses are of fir. Tho timber work of the external domes of the ohuroh of St. Mark, Venice, is more than 810 years old, and is in a good state. There is other extensive timber work whioh has successfully withstood tho ravages of time for from 400 to 600 year*. Tho authorities of a Russian town en? deavored to suppress a riotous assem? blage by oalling out the fire department1 and "playing" upon it. This only made the rioters more "put oat" than ever.

The late James Fisk, Jr., asserted just before his death thai he owned a large amount of Erie stock, and aueh was sup? posed to be the oase, but all efforts to find any record of the same since he died have been in vain, and suspicions are entertained of foul play on the part of those in whose names the stock was held.
