Mr. James Iirooks, in one of his let ters to the New York Express, dated at Nagasaki, July 17, writes as fol lows : This Japan, I re-declare, is the most beautiful country in the world—and 1 have now seen a good part of the world. I have come down through the Island Sea, by—what shall I say to give an American an idea of it ?—through Lake Champlain, say, through Lake George, the Thousand Islands of the St. Law rence, the Rocky Mountain ranges and the Columbia River in Oregon, Puget’s Sound in Washington Territory, etc., etc. There is nothing that surpasses it, scarcely anything that equals it, in our country. 1 lie Scotchman here | forward with* “ Don’t git up, mother! has his Loch Lomond, orLoch Katrine ; ; Jt’s one of my fellows !

A party of us were duck-hunting the other day on the Missouri bottoms Night overlook us before we were aware of it, and we were obliged to seek lodgings at the first dwellings w r e could fiad. It was a small, one story structure of three rooms, and occupied by a family of six—father, mother, daughter, and three sons. The sons were all unmarried, and from the calls that were made afterward w 7 e judge the daughter was unmarried also. W hadn’t been in the house five minutes when some kind of a vt hide drove up and two young men were ushered in to the parlor. Straightway the moth er and daughter held a 'whispered con sultation, which closed with an invi tation to the sitting-room lor supper, It was evident the young men callers had been to tea, as ihey stayed in the parlor with “ sweet sixteen.” Scarce ly had we taken our seats at the table when a how! from the dogs out doors announced the arrival of another comer. He seemed to avoid the front door and knocked at that where our party were just settling to supper. The mother arose to answer the summons, when we were surprised by the daughter opening the parlor door and rushing are terraced generally with garden spots, one overhanging the other.— Along many of the hils, and on the very summits, are strings of lofty trees, so trained as to make a seeming con tinuous march of forestover every hill top. There is no more luxurious traveling on earth than this down the Island Sea of Japan. True, a hot sun rs over ouv heads, often clouded, though, and af fording a canopy.

We should have doubtless enjoyed a quiet cigar had not the old lady opened the door and shouted at the top of her voice : “ Come round here to the back door !” It was another young man, and we fancied he l ooked as if he had come ratiier late. Two young men in the parlor, one in the sitting-room, and one in the kitchen ! What should be done? The courting business was get ting hot! There was another talk be tween mother and daughter. It was evident their devices had been exhaust ed. The old gentlemau was called into the corner. lie settled the question with a whisper : “ I’ll be damned if I’ll move again till the sitting-room’s leps even.

The j parlor, sitting-room and kiteken full, Priuce laughed heartily over the pic ture and seemed to enjoy the fable. One of the ladies of Mr. Brooks’ par ty obtained a peep into the inner bed chamber of the wife of a rich merchant and gives this inventory of its con tents : Little or no furniture; no chairs; no bedstead—nothing but mats to sleep ou. A toilet box was on the floor near the wall—about the only article of furniture in the room. In this box there were five drawers and two lac quer basins on top. In the top drawer of this box there was a metalic mirror, like our hand glasses. In the second drawer she kept her powder, paint, ■wax, brush, tooth-powder and brush. Two little drawers came next; in one she had her false hair, and in the oth er fancy pins, gilt paper, and other fixings for her hair. In the lower drawer was her pillow, which is placed under the neck when sleeping on the n ^at8, so as to prevent the hair from being rumpled. It is made of wood, and covered with paper-on the top.— The powder looks like starch, and ’when they use it they mix a little wu- vve retreated to the hay-stack. In re spouse to a question on the point, the old gentlemau said: “Friday nights it’s purty bad, but Sundays it’s vvuss Last Sunday night there was ten on ’em, and the gal’s giftin’g more and more partikier. The more she gets, the more she wants!” On the hay stack, with a stiff breeze driving away the mosquitoes, we heard Dan drive up. One of the last remarks of the old gentleman before he fell asleep was “ Yes, gentlemen, courtin’s hot in Ne braska !”. And we believed him. Work and Wait.—There are two things that always pay, even in this not over-remunerative existence. They are, working and waiting. Either useless without the other. Both united are invincible, and inevitably triumph ant. He who waits without working is simply a man yielding to sloth and despair. He who works without wait ing, is fitful in his striving, and misses results by impatience. He who works steadily and waits patiently, may have a long journey before him ; but at its close he will find his reward. The whole of the 9th of October the city of Saginaw was enveloped in a dense smoke, a smoke so deep and heavy that it was almost impossible for human beings to exist out of doors. On all sides of Saginaw—indeed through out the whole valley—the woods were burning fiercely, and the flames were continually sweeping rapidly onward, carrying destruction to property of all kinds. A heavy wind prevailed throughout the entire day, and people were greatly alarmed for the safety of the city. About 1“ o’clock last night the bell sounded the alarm, and on rushing to the street the inhabitants discovered an immense column of flame bursting from a building on Washing ton street, near Carroll. The flames had got such headway that little could be done toward saving the contents of the burning building. A cry arose that the occupants of the house had not escaped, and a desperate effort was then made to save them. Chi 1 dren were torn from their beds and carried to a place of safety. Men and women jumped from the windows, burned and bleeding, just in time to save their lives. The house in which the fire origina ted was occupied by Mr. Thus. Smith, arid was owned by Mr. D. S. Newton. From this building the flames exten ded to the meat market of Charles Straw 7 , which w T as also entirely con sumed. The next building, which was owned by a Mr. Parsons, and oc cupied by Charles Halsemizer, met the fate of the others. The flames contin ued to spread until two more houses, the property of Mr. Daniel Holt, were enveloped. One was entirely destroy ed, and the other so badly injured as to be almost a total wreck. Of the two first houses but very little of the effects were saved. Several of the in mates were badly burned. CONFLAGRATION IN EAST SAGINAW. W bile the above fire was raging in East Saginaw, Saginaw City sent down, saying they had a large fire there. The entire property known as the “Island,” between the river and the bayou, on the east side of the riv er, was all afire. The fire originated it the shingle mill of Burnham & Still, just above the upper bridge.— This mill, drill-house, and boarding house w r ere entirely destroyed. The fire spread across the sawdust road to a house owned by Mr. Burnham, and occupied oy a party unknown. t>tu 11- ham & Still’s entire loss is probably | SIS,000; insured for half that amount, suroyed by fire yesterday. The flames then communicated to the I property of Chapin & Barber, and but i a few minutes elapsed before their en- j tire property, including an excellent j saw-mill, drill-house, kettle and steam ; salt blocks, were destroyed, together j w 7 ith a large lot of lumber, 2,000 cords of wood, and two dwelling houses.— The loss of this property could not fall short of $25,000, and was two- thirds insured. The dwellings of Da- id Strong and Henry Chapin were next consumed. The flames commu nicated from here to the shingle-mil! ofLathron & Iscoe, which, together with the boarding house, was totally destroyed. Loss, S12.000. The‘en tire loss will exceed $75,000. SAGINAW AND ST. CHARLES IN DANGER. Saturday afternoon and yesterday the smoke in the city was literally in tolerable. The wind blowing almost directly from the south, sent the smoke n dense volumes into the town. The latest news is that the fire is rapidly approaching tiie city on all sides.— South of South Saginaw the flames are raging fearfully. On the south east and a little south of southeast the tire is proving very destructive. The woods back and in the fair grounds are reported all on fire, and the lence and buildings of the Agricultural Soci ety will probably go “by the board” to-day. The houses in that neighbor hood are in great danger from flying cinders and sparks. On the St. Louis road the woods are burning so rapid ly that communication, Saturday, was nearly cut on. The farm of Charles D. Little last evening was reported all on tire, and the buildings destroyed as were all the buildings of Mr. Henry Miller. Up to 12 o’clock last night the woods opposite the depot .in St. Charles were all on tire, and men bad been fighting the flames all day. The depot and the building adjoining were in great danger, but through the ex ertions of the men the danger is over lor the present. Ou the southwest ol the village the flames are spreading fearlully, and the buildings there are in great danger. The woods between St. Charles and Chesaning are all afire. Nearly a thousand cords of wood were destroyed at St. Charles. THE FIRES STILL RAGING. On the Flint and Fere Marquette Railway, commencing at a point a mile or so west of the junction and as far up as Freedland’s, the woods tire burning tearfully. Above Midland the telegraph poles are all burned down, and much valuable timber is destroyed. On the other side we find a terrible fire raging between Bridge port and Pine River, being worse at Birch Run and County Line than any other point. At County Line four buildings have beeu destroyed, and more are in danger. Four or five hun dred cords of wood aud twelve miles of fencing are all burned near Birch Run. Two engines, with fifty men each, are all on that line trying to stop the progress of the flames, but without success. One of the engines passed over the road, aud is now on the other side ot Birch Run, and re ports the rails so bent and warped by the fire as to he almost impassable. HOW THE FIRES ORIGINATED. Detroit, Oct. 10.—In all parts of the State during the past few duys, and also to-day, there are numerous fires in the wood, in many places ap proaching so near to towns as to en danger the towns themselves. A farm owner about six miles from this eity informs us that many of these fires originate in gun-wads from the guns of sportsmen. The farmers now are very careful, using every possible pre caution against fire ; but every now and then some one from the city, pop ping his shot-gun at squirrels or other small game, leaves a burning wad in the dry leaves, and the destruction of acres of valuable timber and the en dangering of life are tin; results. Nearly the whole country between the Detroit and Milwaukee aud Grand Trunk roads, as iar out as Royal Oak, is on fire. Further north and west, on the line of the Flint and Fere Mar quette road, the flames have in some places approached the road so as to prevent the passing oftrains. The af ternoon train down yesterday was de laved for several hours near Pine Run, not being able to pass the gauntlet of fire. In many places along the line of the Southern road the roads anc fences are burning, and the same is true ol large sections along the De troit and Milwaukee and other roads. THE VILLAGE OF GRAND JUNCTION DE STROYED. The ollieers of the Michigan Central last evening received a dispatch sav ing that the woods and fences on the line of the Kalamazoo and South Ha ven road were all ou fire, and that the vallage of Grand Junction was de stroyed. In South Haven the railroad buildings and wood piles were on fire, and many bouses in the village were either burning or in peril. Fires are raging south and west ol Port Huron, and the air is constantly filled with smoke. Farmers have been fighting the fires m the woods and on their farms for days, until some of them are already exhausted. On Mon day afternoon the barn of a Mr. May, about four miles up Black river—, caught fire and was totally destroyed, including 100 cords of wood. The south wind is blowing very hard to day, and everything is exceedingly dry. Should the fire approach the city nothing could save it from de struction. COMMUNICATION WITH SAGINAW VALLEY CUT OFF. There was no railroad or telegraphic communication witli the Saginaw Valley yesterday. It is reported that, everything is burned between Pine Run .... • *>. « r fin : 11 .0 n,,l_ land, Ottawa county, was entirely de- Large fires are raging in the country west of Cold- water. S. C. Rose has lost about 2,- 000 cords of wood, and other losses are very large. A despatch from Ovvasso says the terrible drouth extending over a peri od of nearly three months shows no signs of terminating. Weils, cisterns, aud all the smaller streams are dry, and to add to the general misfortune fires are raging in the woods and swamps in every direction, and people are constantly at work, day and night, to save stacks, barns, and even bouses from the terrible conflagration. It is believed that its ravages are more ex tensive and destructive already than the fires of 1850. Immediate and heavy rains alone can save us from wide spread calamity from this source. Fires are also raging all around Monroe, and Mayor RedGeld called a public meeting last evening to take necessary measures to protect the city^ A patrol of 100 men volunteered to do duty at night. FIVE VILLAGES DESTROYED. Detroit, Oct. 11.—The news from Saint Clair and Huron counties is of the most distressing character. All that part of the State east of Saginaw 7 Bay and north of a point forty miles above Port Huron has been complete ly swept by fire. A number of per sons perished, anti it is feared we have not heard the worst. The flourishing villages of Forestville, White Rock, Elm Creek, Sandbcach, and Huron City are entirely destroyed. Rock Falls and Port Hope are partially destroy ed. At all these towns there were large stores—many of which were fill ed with winter stocks—extensive saw mills, shingle mills, and docks cover ed with lumber, all of which have been swept away. It is said there is but one dock left on the shore about Forestville. ed to-night for the relief of the suffer ers of this State. The light rain of yesterday seems to have greatly abat ed the fires throughout the State, and it is believed the worst is passed. THE EXTENT OF TIIE FIRES, There is scarcely a county in the State that has not suffered more or less from fire, and the loss will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.— The damage to the pine land is incal culable. Saginaw City only escaped destruction through the determined efforts of her citizens, who fought the fire back. The town of Bridgeport was only saved from destruction by a shower of rain ye terdav morning. Charles Chandler’s barns, on his MACON CARDS.

Washington, Oct. 12.—Secretary Boutwell has received the following; telegram : Port Huron, Oct. 12—The villages and houses along the coast from the foot of Lake Huron around into Sagi naw Bay, are exposed to a dreadful conflagration by fires in the woods — Hundreds of people have been burned 15 ISSiO'ClfiShfiS. out and are starving. We ask orders ; 44 Third St., BEacon, Ga., for the revenue steamer Fessenden to I manufacturers of go along the coast and relieve the suf ferers as long as necessary. The Fessenden has been up and is now here. The people in many cases are driven into the lake to escape-i burning. Over three hundred have RESCUING THE SUFFERERS. A steamer which left Port Huron last night lor the relief of the sufferers returned this morning with about for ty men, women and children, five of whom are severely burned. The revenue cutter Fessenden, which started for Port Austin, picked up a sailboat on the lake containing Isaac Green, principal owner of For estville, together with his family and eighteen or twenty others, who had escaped the flames at Forestville.— Two of them were fatally injured.— The telegraph operator at Forestville escaped through the fire back into the country. AH' the telegraph offices along tiie shore have beeu destroyed, but communication will be restored as soon as the damage done to the lines can be repaired. Five children are known to have perished near Rock Falls. R. B. Hub bard, at Huron City, shot all his tine horses and cattle to prevent their per ishing by fire. He loses very heavily, having had a large store, mills, docks, &c. The extensive property of Staf ford & Hayward", at Port Hope, is about the only one which escaped. Five-thousand dollars was subserib- been brought here already- We are doing all we can, and need the servi ces of this vessel. Answer immedi ately. t). D. CONGER, M. C. J. H. SANBORN, Col. of Customs. The Secretary in reply ordered the commanding officer of the Fessenden to report to Collector Sanborn, in ac cordance with the request. A FAMILY DRIVEN TO TIIE LAKE. Kincardine, Ont,. Oct. 12.—A boat containing two men, a woman, and nine children, and the dead body of a child who had died from exhaustion, arrived here yesterday from Sand Beach, Mich., having left there on Monday to escape the fires raging In the neighborhood. High winds and the dense smoke prevented their reach ing shore until they made this port, having been without food the whole time. They arrived drenched and eAtlUUSluu. n - been given them, and their wants have been attended to. THREE VILLAGES DESTROYED AND OVER THREE HUNDRED LIVES LOST. Green Bay, Oct. 11.—The danger which threatened Menomonee has been averted by the heavy rain which fell on Monday night and yesterday morn ing, and which thoroughly subdued the conflagration. The village of Me- noakamie has suffered heavily by the fire. Most of the buildings have been burned. The villagers saved little or no goods from the flames, but simply fled for safety, leaving all behind to the quickly advancing conflagration. In consequence of the high wind the fire spread rapidly, quickly enveloping the ill fated village. The loss ot life is not known. Peshtego met a similar fate. The entire settlement was burned to the ground, together \vith sixty or seven ty of the inhabitants. The remainder escaped, carrying with them what few household goods the rapid spread of the terrible flames would permit. With these and with their children they ran to the River Menoiiiouee, about five or six miles distant, where they now are in safety. Chicago, Oct. 12.—A dispatch has just been received from Green Bay, Wisconsin, stating that a steamer had just arrived bringing a report that 325 bodies .were burned at Pishtego last night and as many more are still missing. Seventy-five persons were burned to death at Little Sturgeon Bay, and the suffering throughout the North is ter rible. With the exception of the loss of property, it is almost as appalling as the burning of Chicago. THE INDIANA PRAIRIES ON FIRE. A gentlemau who lias just made a trip over the Louisville, New 7 Albany, and Chicago Railroad, says that prairie and w r ood fires are raging along the line between New Albany and Lafay ette. On the north end of the road, Kankakee county was one broad blaze of destructive flame. Miles upon miles of fence, bay, grain in stack, corn in fields, houses, barns, cattle- pens, have been burned, and the fire is still raging. When the Dear Ones Gather at Home. BY ANNIE HERBERT. We speak, We speak of tiie loved aud lost, Wlio have Rone to the land above, Ar.J the mh-ta of the river of death are crossed, By the rainbow of their love. Sad hearts are yearning in hall and cot, To pillow some dreamless head ; But we know the beautilul change not, And our darlings are not dead. Chorus.—By the bountiful gate They watch and wait, Till our feet shall cease to roam, Aud over the river that slugs forever, The dear ones gather at home. The voice of their melody wanders free Tnro’ the wail of broken song ; And the gleam of the snowy robes we see, When the earth grows dark with wiong ; We feel the touch of a vanished hand, That thrilled in the days ot yore; And leads ns on to the summer land. Where they live forever more. We speak when the work of the day is done, Of the dawning by aud by, And number-our treasures, one by one, In our Father's house on high ; And ort we think when our rest shall come. Of the meeting there will he, When the good and beautiful allgo home, To the city beyond the sea. Saddles, Harness and Collars. AM) DEAI.ER8 IN.
