BURNING OF THE MIKADo's

BURNING OF THE MIKADo's PALAcE.-On the 5th of May, at
 midnight, a fire broke out in a small sod cottage near the palace. and used by the lowest female servants. The fire soon com. municated with the palace, and in a few moments the flames en- yelOped the whole building. The Emperor and Empress escaped and took refuge in a tea-house in Fuklago, and were obliged to re. main there until morning when they secured carriage and went to another palace in Akasaka. The three holy relics were saved- kashikOdokora Ca mirror), mitama Ca ball), and kenjin Ia sword)- three highly valued articles. The fire and city police were soon on the grounds and every effort was made to suppress the flames. By daylight the massive building was a heap of charred ruins. Several of the servants were burned to death. Subscriptions rendered by Japanese merchants, to the amount of $50.000, were nr fered to the Emperor to help build mother palace on the site of he Ormer.

 miscuous charities must necessa- rily create this species ofhuman
 fungi. Also, this prompt and
 indiscriminate giving makes the chevalier d. industrie proud and
 insolent. To illustrate :: I saw,
 while in Guaymas, a beggar hob
 bic to the door of a vegetable store, kept by a motherly though
 prematurely aged dofia; and after
 having sang his little solo in do- lorous tone, stood statue-like a second or so; the doda being busy serving a customer; but such a breach of etiquette was not to borne, so he darted a look of con- centrated malice at the dofa and was hobbling off in high dud- geon, when she left her customer, caught up short string of garlic, ran after, overlook, and offered it to him, whereupon a noble scorn lit up his wrinkled features, and with a contemptuous grunt he whirled and fairly ran from her as though she were a demoness. Slowly and sadly the woman returned 70 her store, apparently suffering the stings of self-accusation that she had caused the pobrecito pang; and no doubt redoubled her ''Aves'' and "Paters" in cOnse- 1uence thereof.

He came while I was there, and I had frequent oppor- tunitief of seeing him; of reading his face, and studying his charac- ter.

The much needed rain has been coming down upon us most of the time for ten days, finishing, last Saturday afternoon, with two heavy thunder storms accom- panied with the usual wind and hail, do- ing much injury to crops &c. - ..r ..,.
 Teams loaded with berry-pickers had been pouring in all day from adjoining towns in search of the much despised whortleberry (and here let me reply to one of your correspondents of last year, that this is the way Warren usually ex- ports whortleberries). The fields were said to be alive with people when the first shower came; they ran through bushes, and over fences like frightened sheep, reaching their wagogs only to find them drenched like themselves, which must have ensured them 8 delightful ride home.
 President Sturdevant of Jacksonville College has spent few days here, in- cluding one Sabbath. preaching two fine sermons. He is native of this town, joined the Congregational church here when but ten years of age, and has spent most of his long and useful life at the West. Very few of the present genera tion knew of the man except by reputa- ton, but he has left an impression here that will not soon be forgotten.

southern Poverty.

We reprint on our first page an article from the Tribune, showing the enormous depreciation of Southern property that has resulted from the war and emancipa- ton. It would be unjust to attribute all this loss to the misgovernment that has resulted from negro suffrage in many of the States. The whole personal property of the South was in fact staked on their success in the war and on the redemption of Confederate bonds. Emancipation wiped out one-half, and the unpaid debts of the Confederacy the other, leaving the old planters with immense amounts of land, but no capital with which to begin working out the untried problem of free labor. Under such circumstances their real estate could not but depreciate in value. It appears evident, too, that in- stead of an emigration from North to South, as was anticipated from the intro duction of the system of free labor, hea- " emigration of Southerners has set in towards the North. We doubt whether the complaint against the negroes for docking into cities is a just one It must be remembered that under the slave sys- tenn the surplus population usually found Tn cities was kept back in the South by force. We have seen no reliable evidence that this class is now proportionably larg- CT in Southern than in Northern cities.
 Making all due allowance for other causes, there can be no doubt, that bad government and high taxation have con- trlbuted very largely to the poverty that expresses the old Cotton States. We have often censured the indifference of the administration and of the Republican party to the misgovernment for which we consider them largely responsible; and we think it our duty to call the attention of our readers to the important evidence contained in the article referred to, of the extent of the difficulties under which the South is laboring.
