A Sunbeam.

The greatest Of physical paradoxes is
the sunbeam. 1t is the most potent and
versatile .iorce we have, and yet it be-
HAYES itself like the gentlest and most ac-
commodating. Nothing can fall more
softly or more silently upon the earth
than the rays OF that great luminary-not
even the feathery flakes Of snow which
thread their way through the atmosphere
us if they were too filmy to yield to the
demands of gravity like grosser things
The most delicate slip of gold-leaf, ex-
posed us a target to the suns rays is not
stirred to the extent of hair, though an
infants faintest breath would set it in
tremulous motion. The most tender of
human organs-the apple OF the eye
though pierced and butfeted each day by
thousands of sunbeams, suffers no pain
during the process, but rejoices in their
sweetness, and blesses the useful light.
Yet few of those rays, insinuatng them
selves into mass of iron like the Britain
MIA Tubular bridge, will compel the
closely knit particles to separate, and
will remove the whole enormous fabric
with as much ease as a giant would a
straw. The play of those beams upon
our sheets of water lifts up layer after
layer INTO lne atmosphere, ana nOlStS
whole rivers from their beds, only to drop
them again in SHOWS upon the hills, or in
tattening showers upon the plains. Let
but the air drink in little more sunshine
in one place than another, and out of it
springs the tempest or the hurricane,
which desolates whole region in its lu-
matte wrath The marvel is, that
power which is capable Of assuming such
diversity of forms, and of producing
such stupendous results, should come to
us in so gentle, so peaceful, and so I'M
pretentious guise.

Terrible Fires in Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich, Oct IL. The news
from st. Clair and Huron Counties of this
date, is of the most distressing character.
All OF that portion of the State East of
Saginaw Bay and north of Il point 40 miles
above Port Huron, has been completely
swept by fire.
A. number of persons have persisted and
it is feared that we have not heard the
worst The villages Of Forestville, White
Rock, Elm Greek, Sand Beach and Huron
City are entirely destroyed, Rock Falls
and Port Hope are partially destroyed.
Nothing yet has been heard from Port
Austin or Port Crescent. but it is hardly
possible that they have escaped.
At all these towns there were large
stores, many filled with winter stocks, eX-
tensive saw mills, single mills and docks
covered with lumber. all Of which We're
swept away. 1t is said that but one block
is left on the shore about Forestyiile

night for the relief of the sufferers. return

and children, five being severely burned.
The Revenue Gutter Fessenden, which
started for Port Austin, picked up sail
boat containing Isaac Green, the principal
owner of Forestville with his family and
Is or 20 others who had escaped the
flames.
The telegraph operator At Forestville
escaped through the fire. back into the
country. All telegraph offices along the
shore are destroyed, but communication
will be restored soon.
Five children persisted near Rock Falls.
p. b. Hubbard at Huron City shot all his
horses and cattle to prevent their perishing
by fire He loses heavily, having a large
store mills. docks, &c. The extensive
property of Stafford and Hayward at Port
| Hope. is about the only one that escaped.
Five thousand dollars were subscribed
tonight for the relief Of the sufferers OF
the State. The light rain Of yesterday
seems to have greatly abated the fires
throughout the State. 1t is believed that
the worst has passed.
| Scarcely II County in the State but suf-
fered from the fire and the loss will
amount to hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars The damage to the pine land is in
calculable. Saginaw City only escapes
destruction through the determined efforts
of the citizens. Bridgeport was saved by
| the rain yesterday morning.
At Holland, on the East shore of Lake
Michigan, the flames made Il clean sweep
and there is scarcely 4 building left. Tho

The conflict which has been threatening
Paris FOR the last two weeks on account of the
refusal Of some Of the people in the Montmar-
tire district to acknowledge the authority Of the
Government eliminated on Friday. President
Theirs issued proclamation aainst the insur-
gents, assuring the Parisians Of the republican
ism Of the Government, and asking them to
support IT in the effort To put down the insur-
rection. AT midnight on Friday General
Ninoy marched a body Of gensd'armes on the
hill Of Montmartre and seized the cannon which
The rebels had planted there, fying nitrailcur
to command all the approaches, and otherwise
assuming control OF the disafiected quarter.
On Saturday morning the National Guards of
Aontmartrc and Belleville surrounded the hill
and Vinoy's men fraternixed with them, and
eventually the indictments resumed command
Of the position. In one Of the streets near by
the uob attacked some ariillerymen and chas-
seurs and killed an officer. Those who remain
ed faithful TO the Government were too feeble
in numbers to make any resistance, and by
midday the National Guards had obtained full!
sway. They recaptured their cannon on the
heights OF Aontmartre, and appeared deter
mined to retain them, being well supplied with
arms and ammunition, which were given up
70 them by the faltering troops. General Le
Compte and others were made prisoners BY the
rioters, who demand the dissolution Of the
present National Assembly aud She election of
another, which shall hold its sessions In Paris
General Faron narrowly escaped capture by
the insurgents, those Of his troops who remain
ed true TO him charging the barbados and
lighting their way out Of the mob with him.
Startling facts are known in connection with
the rebellion, and the regular troops have been
Withdrawn from the faubourgs where the peo-
pie appear excited and hostile. The latest
dispatches Of Monday state that Generals Gle
ment Thomas and lie Compile were shot by the
rioters Gen. vinoy had Withdrawn all tfoopt
from the north side OF the Seine, and all thas
portion OF Paris is given up to the rebellion.

coon HEALTH

Is bNon that comparatively few can boast
OF. Those who have enjoyed uninterrupted
health for a series Of years imagine themselves
TO be proof against disease, aud are careless
with their diet and their dress. Indeed, TOO
many OF them are sowing the seeds OF eonsump-
ton. At first the slight but constant cough
attracts no attention, bntit is only when The
disease increases In violence that h begins to-
excite suspicion. The malady should at once
be checked, and for this purpose no remedies
