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. The
occurrence of ?his fire lead the Go rem
ment to permit foreigners to lease land
in Yeddo; the owners being compelled tc
make monthly reports. This act will
caneo foreign money to be invested
there.
A Japanese fair is to be opened soon
at Keots, the former residence of thc
Mikado, and the hot-bod of tho anti
foreign party. Foreigners on depositing
3300 with their consul, as a guarantee foi
their good behavior, may visit the fail
for seventy days. This' movement if
made aa a teat of the disposition oi
foreigners in the country towards natives,

ment, lwakara will be ordered to keep
the japan sealed book for some time
longer.

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." *

A toaohing incident is reported from
Chattanooga. 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.

COLUMBIA, May ll, 18'
To Hos. JOHN ALEXANDER, MAYO;
tax of this kind for tho purpose d
natcd in your note to me of the 9th i
cannot be levied; but you can fine
one who creates a nuisance, and
tinuo it from day to day, until you
levied a snffioiout sum to pay th
penses of putting down thu druin r
red to in your note. I have repea
so said before and again adviso thal
at once exert tho full power of thc
in abating the Davis alley nuisauc
think Mr. Gorman should bo notifi
abate that nuisance on pain of it
ment io the courts, and of paying to the
city $20 for each day he permita it to re?
main. I think it olear, too, th84t the city
has the power to make Hr. Gorman pay
the eoat of patting down the drain; but I
advise that he be fined every day in the
sum of $20, until sufficient has been col?
lected to pay for the work and material
roqnired to put it down. I wonld take
prompt action in this matter, as the nui?
sance is very offensive, as I am informed.

EXTRADITION TREATIES.-The whole
civilized world is rapidly coming into
accord on the subject of the extradition
of criminals, and entering into treaties
relative thereto. A treaty of this kind
was recently entered into between the
United States and the South American
Republic of Columbia. It is expected
that the other South American States
will make, like treaties with this country
in a short time.
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.
