Ytddo Correspondence Of khs Eeto York Tribune
On Monday night, at O'Clock, fire broke out
IN the Miksdo'a palace. In 10 minutes the whole
structure was in flames; and in less than an hour
1t was burned to the ground. The nAtive troops
aud fremen Tero promptly on hand and presery-
ed order. They could do little else a. the build
iDgs burned too fast to be saved, and the moats
stopped the progress Of tho fire. Tho Emperor,
accompanied by Ibis Own body-guard Of 1ancere,
went to his mothers palace noar by, and there
the Empress and the Court joined him the next
day The palaoa snd outbuildings were totally
destroyed. It is said that's new one will be built
from tho plans Of = foreign architect, to cost
about 81, ,1o. 900. These fires come in 7er{ conVsn3
iently for the pair rose Of restoration Where tho
great fro swept clean q year ago. the etree11

two miles, the principal street Of Yoe:ac .oo3s
like that Of any largo city in America or Eu-
rope. It only needs horse-rallroad track In
the centre, and that will be there very shortly
Some ovn-dispoBed persons are giving publicity
to the rumoz that the palace Was set On ire oy
incendiaries, for political reasons. Such story
is totally untrue. Tho fire Was caused BY one OF
the Empress ladies', who, as the night was
chilly, had taken I brazier Of charcoal into her
bed. During the night this fair young damset,
this hig igh-born maid OF honor, selected Tor her
beauty aud her rank to serve the Emperor
brido,, kicked, upset the brnzier. scattered the
lighted charcoal over the cotton quilts. and
new palace will be the result. A alice OF turn1p

The reason why gold fac simile OF the seal OF

"In 1867, when jenkins WAS Governor, the

| THOMAS CARLYLE.
An Interview with the Author OF
stSartor Kesurtus.''
From the Golden +4qe.
The strongest literary enthusiasm OF my teens
| was for Tennyson's poetry; ne1t to him IN ny
mind, but proriHsi zo19o interrano, were Emer-
son and Carlyle. OF Carly1e's works Sartor
| Resartus Was the one which impressed me
most. The ragged impetuoaity Of the style
carried me along aa it upon torrent, and Its
portrayal Of tho wrestling Of \ human soul with
tho grand fatal issues Tas extremely fascinating
to me.
So it naturally happened that when, somewhat
later, found myself in London, one OF my most
| ardent wishes WAS to meet the author. Thia
| WAS in 1862, when spring WAS opening into sum
! mer, and the city swa1mod with foreigners
| who had coma to attend the exposition
| young man falls occasionally into sentiment
| al frame OF mind, narrowly bordering upon mel
ancholy, when solitude oppresses him, and he
experiences the need of coupaoionahip and
guidance. Very often he seeks these in re-
mote quarter, diBca1ding The eymps:hics which
are freely Afforded him nearer home. Thus it
|
took possession Of me Of attempting to obtain
An interview with tho author Of " 8artor Be-
| sartus," in order to consult him NTH reference
to my future plans I accordingly wrote hin
= gushing note, OF which, recalling it now, feel
ashamed, but which brought prompt reply, d1-
ing m evening to go to his house.
| The reply Was brief and characteristic kept
| It for some time and lost it st last; but re-
member Mr Carlyle's writing that it would be
/ cruel in him to refuse my modest raqueat, and
| that, il would come on the following Thursday
| evening, could have ''a half hour Of" him.
This expressive use Of tho proposition struck me-
as highly peculiar, and taa remained tonac.ously
! in my memory. It was early IN the week wren
tho response reached me, which document (the
| handwriting being indistinct) I misread, taking
Thursday for Monday. Wondering that ne
/ sl.ou1d desire me to wait until the ue1t Hcek' l
| course. and. on tho following Monday, Vas
punctual. The tine fixed was, think, han-
past7.
My expectations Of the authors mode or hv-
ing wero, it seems, formed on too worldly a
| basis The part Of the town inhabited by him
was disag1eeable, and his house mean, e1te5na1-
" and internally. JusE before attained the
ciphe1od it Alright !; so that, "a rang, | Vas
| prey to some indecision. maid opened the
door and told me that Mr: Carlyle WAS not at
home At this moment he arrived, looking
| rather shabby, but behaving frankly and cor"
daily. He said he had 1Pected me- on tha
Thursday preceding, snd had nearly con
cluded that his note had gone sstray,
- not unprecedented occurrence With
hm owing to the a Of drastr DIS 1n M
front room con tanning bookshelves hl5d WITH
books. He asked mo IN and introduced me- to
Mrs Carlyle: Tea and toast vera ,,3;es 5esdy on
emouy he asked me to talc . seat, and then
! hiusef sat down opposite mo, his wife, with the
