in through the trees', giving a bright dash
along this old trunk, or a ray of glory to that
branch, pouring down a' ruddy flood like a.
libation on the hill-slopes, and the grass starred
with crocuses and daises ; the fountains ; the
lake with the swans ; the line 'coaches, and a
Cardinal sweeping his red silk robes along the
walks, and hosts of purple prelates, finding
infinite peaee and relaxation after the labor
of spouting Latin in the morning's General ,
Congregation.
'lt is one of the, prettiest drives in the world
—these same Paint - ilia Doria grounds. Then,
when we turned to leave the beautiful place,
and drove over tke Janiculum, past the grand
Paoline fountain, we drew up the horses, and
looked silently over great Rome, which lay at
our. feet. The sun, which was setting rich and
golden, lighted up the windows of the various
churches and buildings superbly. S. Giovatni
in Laterano, and San Maria Maggiori, looked
as if a fine illumination was inside of their
old walls ; and the strangest red lights and
shadows flickered around the statues which
adorn the roofs and columns in various parts
of the town.
Yes, the sun is shining; tramontana is blow

once more the loveliest city in the entire

[Fran the loan Francisco Morning Call.]
Up to this time the Japanese have accom
modated themselves in their household mat
ters at considerable inconvenience, but thin
will soon be at an end, and in a few weeks
they 'will be settled down as comfortably as
you. pleaiie, with. houses of ..their.. own, _each,
family reposing "under its own vine and tig
_tree. „Awing their number are four carpen
ters, and these men are now engaged in
erecting buildings forthe use of the party.
The houses are to be twelve in number, di
mensions thirty-six by thirty, each containing
four rooms, and built after the real
Japanese fashion, with low pitched
roofs, the eaves extending' far over the sills,
and forming a balcony or awning around the
entire house. The outer walls and partitions
are of sliding panels, that can be shut together
at the corners and folded into boxes, leaVing•
nothing but the roof and its supports during
the hot summer days, affording a luxury that
can only be exceeded by " taking off your flesh
and sitting in your bones." The partition
walls are of paper, the outer walls of wood ; one
room is to be used as a sleeping-room, another
as a kitchen, and the two others—in each house
—for silk-raising, where the worms will be
kept and nursed, and the silk woven and other
-wise manipulated. I Lad omitted to mention
_ that silk culture will form an important branch
of this enterprise, 50,000 mulberry plants hav
ing already been set out for a beginning. The
Japanese carpenters are ingenious workmen,
and their work is done with marvelous neat
ness. A curious feature of their houses is that
they do not contain a nail, all of the joints and
timbers being dovetailed together by many
ingeniousdevices, and the whole work, even
to the rafters, is as smooth as if it had been
• polished down with sand paper. And the
Japanese are a neat people, for they Use in
paint • to bide any blemishes of con
struction or ornamentation, no filagree
work or plaster of Paris gewgaws, but every
stick in the building is exposed - . Every morn
ing, as regularly as she cooks breakfast or
sweeps the floor, the Japanese housewife
takes a wet cloth and scours the whole interior
of the dwelling, leaving no part untouched,
.and no stain or dirt spot to mar its cleanly ap
pearance. Then the Japanese do not come
into the house With muddy boots, after the
,
. style of the American sovereign," but
having covered the floor with neat
matting, always remove the dirty
sandals before stepping upon it. I stood
and watched the Japanese carpenters at their
work for some minutes, and noticed the petl
haritY of their . increments._ The,, Japanese
- works •,"toward him"—that - is, inatead of
shoving a plane Iron, him ho reaches out, sets
the plane upon the board at arm's length, and
pulls it towards him ; and he cuts, saws and
chops in the same way. Ms saws are fixed in
handles, like a butcher's cleaver, and the
teeth' slant or "rake" toward the handle.
•
The planes are constructed like ours, but

forniaj
• ON THE VOLGA } Noveniber, I.S69.—Sit
ting one day On the deck of the Czarina, . just..
before: our • departure, quietly smoking ' and
ruminating upon•the Usefulness of the animal
Russia ; our own importance, 'the uncertainties
of exchanr; and the certainty of the approach:
of. e" dintef hour; thinking what soil of a
dish the Alta's children would like serveq, next
for them, arid where. I would go to get it, the
harsh word-of command. and the : Clanking of
chains Caused the thread of Inv :worriment to
snap short off. Looking up the steep
bluff I could distinguish nothing
but a confused mass in motion, as
a drove of pigs going to market---a
concatenation Of sounds in which the peremp
tory was predominant=the gleam of bayonets
' and enveloping cloud of dust. Presently
emerged a squad of soldiers, taking position . on
each side of the gangway planks, and through
these filed a most squalid array of wretches,
human-shaped, men, women and children,
• three hundred convicts, bound for that gorge
of Russia, Siberia. Old and young, rich and
poor; some rich in health and garment, others
weak,' deerepid, and more. chains than cover
ing rags. Down the platform they clanked,
tolled oft, as sheep'to the ' armed shep
herd, into a Government barge provided
for the purpose, with lofty iron grating,
like a.. cage in a menagerie. And a
wild beast show it was; wild, ferocious, and
bloodthirsty enough , looked some.. of • the
captives, and equally brutal the features of
the captors. Young • men, warm-blooded
and full of life, whose lithe form and light
'step otherwise directed were full of a hope
ful spring; old men with back bent to
.the drtiniedary's arch, paying to •• forded
Music - the-last retributive toll of a vicious ex
istence—taking their offending' old bones in
their :palsied hands out, of a grave-denying
country,. and casting theM wearily down
in the ice-boUnd• sarcophagus directed by
outraged humanity. Some had taken
violent law into their own red hands ; others,
and the majority, merely beacme converts to
the agrarian principle. Siberia needs popula
tion, Government provides the ways and
means, and the' slightest infringement or
shadow cast upon the legal fabric is considered
an application for permission to migrate, leave
being granted .in advance. Once there, the
greater portion are cast adrift on their own re
sources; they can become farm laborers,,for
whom there is great demand ; they can do any
thing on- their own hook,. hutthey can't come
hack.. Wives and families cannot remain to
starve, so Government kindly provides accom
panying transportation.' •
Almost every member was laboring Under
the restraint of some article of rude domestic
economy. Somc',OL the families were quite
numerous, a dozen perhaps; the unfortunate
father was kept busy struggling with hisfrons;
and, it was pitiable to see the mother, herself'
overloaded, in her frantic efforts to keep her
brood and her traps together. In a quarter of
an hour they were all bestowed, and the grat
ings barred and the sentinels placed. I walked
round and looked in ; all was quiet, each in
stinctively having found his place 7 -some few
were gasping from over-exertion, for the
tramp had been a weary one, and many had
already settled themselves for sleep. Defiance
was faintly returned for curiosity,, and stolid
indifference Was king pin of that coral. Sen
tences vary according to the mortality of the
Settlements ; in healthy seasons they are com
paratively severe; whilst, when the reverse ob
tains, seven years are reckoned for the value
of a silver watch, and burglary and murder
are equals in crime and accommodated_ for life.
Government retains the services of the life
agents in its mines, and others are distributed
over the comitry, and find employment and
sustenance as they are capable. Justice is
rarely 'tempered with mercy. The quality of
mercy is not strained, or, it' it is, the sieve
itself is so fine that none ever gets through
time enough to be of any service. There is
no gentle dropping of the dew ; the golden
rule followed is "Do auto others as you don't
wish they would do unto you."
Through Captain Hahn, , we were made
acquainted with a nautical friend of his, to
whom he seemed very much attached. Boys
together, they were inseparable as men. Cast
adrift at , the same time, and' about the same
age, they chose the same profession, went - to
sea in the same ship, and were as twins till
accident diVided them. I will not mention his
name, for obvious reasons, but I think I can
account partially for .that quick appre
hension and extreme sensitiveness apparent
on our first*meeting.' He seemed to take me
- all at a glance, andll felt greatly relieved when
he left me out again. We had been dining to
gether, our --party, -a . - farewell dinner at a
restaurant previous to - our departure down the
river. The Russian 'wines are not weak, and.
we none of us knew our strength. The night
was. moonlight and serenely, beautiful as we
wended our way toward where the boat lay.
" Come aboard my boat !" said he, "I've
sonic good English stout, come try it. It isn't
late;"and he pulled us not unwillingly 'along.
Seated round his snug little state-room we, 'or
the ale, rambled along, spearing cockroaches
meanwhile, touching and going on various
Ovics till we asked him how he got along, and
how he came to be among such an undesirable
people. Unwittingly we had hit it.
" Take some more ale," said he, " and I'll
tell you. It Is au infernal business, this, and
I wish I was in he—. 'Tis true," and his
eyes glared and his clenched fist played havoc
with the glasses. "'Tis true, I did kill ten men
with my handspike. I did it. I say it, and I'd
do it again. Would you not ? Hear Me.
Hahn there and God knows I speak the
truth. What had I done? What was 1 sent
aboard that infernal ship for? I thought
it all for the best. I thought
it was the reward of faithfulness and industry,
and could have kissed the hand of the man
ager when he handed are my promotion. Hahn
had got his before ; had better luck than 1, but
I did not envy him. Ile was master of a fine
brig, and was making his first voyage to the
Windward Islands. I was glad of it, and I
thought how happy he would be when he got
back to hear I was first officer Of the Austria.
First officer ! I would have given my right
hand for it. Fin. (lays before we
sailed—the Austria was a steamer;
new ship, bound from Hamburg to New
York-1 scarce knew which end I stood on,l
was so light-hearted and happy, and I will take
my oath no ship went to sea with a better
ready on than she did. Up before dawn, I
was allover the ship, thinking of everything
she needed, arid what little ornaments or things
I could pile on to make her look trim and
beautiful. When 1 told Gretchen, poor girl,
the tears started, and so did mine.' We had
been loving and waiting a couple of years,
wishing and praying, and here was daylight
ahead.. Our weary' line' had suddenly nearly
run out, and we, poor fools, were crying.
What did we cry for ? We thought it was joy.
You shall see.

strance •of her, friends and her own half

tion acts as a constitutional poison ; • she got no!
better, and I cursed my haSty•stunidity.
" One Sunday afternosm 1 had read her into.
a deie; andbad gone Wm)* room to finish the
book; one of the-Most beautiful and delightful
days I had ever enjoyed,warm and pleasatit,and
the sea without a ripple. I was awakened
from my overpowering drowsineSs by the quiet
remark of one' atlas hands at the door, who,
bat in hand, gave Me the second officer's com
pliments and the information that the ship
was on lire. I followed.hina to the after hold,
feeling no alarm, he having been pre
viously cautioned to exhibit no fear. I found
my subordinate, with the watch, doing his ut
most to suppress the, &mei." Hurriedly he
told the trouble. He had discovered rats, and
with a bucket of pitch and abet shot had been
trying to smoke them...mit; accidentally the
bucket was upset, the flames had run down
into the hold, and for two hours and a half lie
had been trying to smother them. His efforts
were useless, and he bad sent for me.
" I saw in an instant the mistake he had
Made. The flames and smoke had entire
possession of the hold, and as I raised the
hatch the volumes rushing' upward told 'the
tale. Sending a messenger to the captain,
bent my energies to the 'task, using all known
appliances and coining new ones. All was
useless.
, "It seemed as if the fire fiend had pur
posely withheld his 'adjuncts to herald and
welcome my approach. The passengers, of
whom we had several hundred, • because
frantic. Hurrying on deck I strove to still
them. In vain ; 'despair had vanished
-power. My messenger returned' with no
word from the captain—he could not find
him, and I never saw him again. Taking con
troll endeavored to organize the force; it was
no longer at my command. The flames spread
rapidly, and soon we were totally enveloped.
I rushed below and bore Gretchen on deck.
Utterly powerless and unable, even under such
dire infliction, to help herself, I laid her on one
of the -deck • sofas,
thinking if the worst came
she should surely have that, drove the men to
their stations to get ready the boats,and with
my gang tried to lower mine. The flames kept
pace with the insanity of the passengers: Soon
they sunminded me, rendering abortive further
attempts. , "Suddnly a shriek startled me. ' A wretch
in the shape of a man had thrown Gretchen
on the deck, and sofa in his arms, was crushing
her life with fits heel. I don't know how it
was—in an instant I was at her side—my
handspike was in my handlie never needed
sofa more! God forgive me: Poor
neither did she! I was too late.
- - _
"I - got back to my boat. I don't know how
it was: 'L got her into the Water, filled her and
sent her off. An hour after I tool all that was
left of poor Gretchen, jumped into the sea, and
after swimming two or three miles, was picked
up by the boat, without a stitch on but a wrist
band and a part of my drawers—the rest having
been torn from me in my struggle. On the third
day we were picked up by a Frenchman and
landed at Southampton, whence we were
sent home to Hamburg. I prayed the Cap
tain-who rescued us to save our boati offering
everything I could think of, even myself, to
reedeem her. , Smiling, he ordered her painter
cut, and as she slowly drifted astern my life
went with her. At Hamburg I was arrested
for murder. Some 'of those I had rescued laid
the charge against me. I was thrown into
jail; the mariners • rose, beset the prison, and
demanded my release, and I was permitted to
go. The :owners' coniplimented me, com
miserated with me, but said they dared not
give further employment. They offered me
one hundred thalers ; I hurled it in their faces.
My friend here -heard of, it, sent for me, and
here I am. Uod forgive me. I• aid kill ten
men with my handspike, but I .Nacedforty-fire.
Wouldn't you ?"
• Ilis eyes glared again with the ferocity of a
d'emon, and the room resounded with the forge
of his blows. "Let's take a drink!". I took
it. I sympathized with him, but somehow or
other I fancied his hand burned as he wrung
Mine good-bye, and I thought, as I went to
bed, there might be pleasanter things in this
world than tieing soothed nightly to, sleep by
ten figures dancing a bloody hornpipe to the
"music of a handspike chorus! Vale!
_Doirnestic.PecQratiom.
The London Atheneum says: ",Some
time since we noted the addition to the South
Kensington Museum of a complete - room,
being the boudoir, with its chimney-piece and
richly decorated walls, which Marie Antoinette
gave to the Marchioness do Serilly, as removed
from the house in Paris of which it originally
formed part. In this room may now be seen
a beautifully-designed harp, which is said
to have belonged to Marie Antoinette.
Another room, or rather, as in the former
case, the decorated lining of an extraor
dinarily enriched chamber, the work of
Boucher, has been copied for the Art Depart
ment, and will shortly be erected in public
view.. This work is one of a series of trail
scripts from decorations of diverse ages and
periods, beginning with mosaics and wall-paint
ings, which is to be formed for the South Ken
sington Museum to illustrate the changeful
character of decorative art. The ; series will be
incorporated with the museum, se, that the
visitors may pass from chamber \to chamber,
.each enriched by apt illustrations and contents
in the shape of articles of domestic use, se
lected from the stores of the museum."
A Singular Case.
On the night of the 15th instant, Miss Sarah
Morris, aged seventeen, living with her parents
In. San Francisco, by some singular freak of
nature was bereft of sight. The young lady.
who bad always enjoyed good health, at the
time mentioned , retired for the night, and the
next morning when she awoke she was unable
to see. Thinking perhaps she was dreaming,
she rubbed her eyes, but still her eyesight ,
failed her, and she called for her
parents, . who in a few moments became
aware of . the fact that she • was blind.
During the day the unfortunate person was
taken to an oculist,who examined her eyes and
found them covered with a thin coating which
bad rendered her totally blind. Since then a
number of oculists have. been consulted, but
her case has been pronounced almost hopeless;
and she has-been adVised to visit a celebrated
oculist in Berlin for treatment. '
As the parents of the girl are not in, circum
stances to bear the expense of seeding , her; to
Europe, some gentlemen have undertaken to
raise the sum required .4:subscriptions. -,

'would be at least twenty shots fired at it, by the
outsiders. The Recorder said a pigeon was a
domestic bird., , but dreruelly killed it would

Mincrow.a.L.—The atnount of legislation
which has been proposed for Camden to be
acted on by the pressnt Legislature is much
larger than heretofore, and some of it really'
needful and important. Among the mass is a
bill providing for a select branch• of the City
Council. Ever since Camden received its char:-
acter as a city, it has been under the guidance
and caprices of only' one branch, and that
branch now consists of eighteen members, sift
from each ward. This body seems -a kind of,
legislative sanhedrim, from whose ordainings
there is no direct appeal. Not even the
Mayor or any other officer of the city
possesses authority to veto ordinances
they may pass. In view of this con
dition of things, a number of prominent gen
tlemen have determined to secure the passage
of an act creating the said Select Council, as a
check upon the other branch hi any basty legis
lation they may make. It is asserted that this
measure is likewise necessary, in order to pre
vent many extravagances 'and the efforts
making to largely increase the eitsos inddbted
ness. 'Whether the efforts of these gentlemen
will culminate in anyything definite this Winter
is not certain;
but they advance many argu
ments why the bill should be passed. Such
an additional body would be advantageous to
the interests of the city of Camden in many
points of view.
ANNIVERSAIII7.—TIie second anniversary of
the Ladies' Aid Society belonging to the Third
Street lil. E. Church was held in that build
ing last evening. The attendance was, very
large, and the ceremonies, which consisted in
singing, addresses, and the reports of the offi
cers fir the past year, were highly interesting.
Tins Society Is doing a good and noble work,
and their labors are being attended with good
exults.

important character have been acted upon by

which were some for grand and petit larcen
ies. One case of .manslaughter, that of young
Aldridge, charged with the sluting of the lad
Fowler, was also disposed of by the acquittal of
the defendant. This enAe created considerable
interest..

township, by prying open a window. The
villains departed without securinc , ally booty.
Theld 'French. Ft:mn of Detroit and
Netsliborhopd.
The etroit Free Press says :
t )
" Lookirigat a map of the original claims
and surveys ' the lands along the Detroit
river and its tributaries, a modern topographer
or surveyor cannot but Wonder at the striking
peculiarity of the long and narrow tracts or
strips of land that , appear before him, and
which being, comparatively; but a- very few
feet in width, run back to a depth of three
miles,- and in some instances much more.
This is particularly the case on the River
Rouge and the River Aux Ecorces; most of the
claims fronting on the Detroit being somewhat
wider: but still preserving' their great long,i
[Mimi measurement. .
" This peculiarity came to be Adopted and
carried out from the desire of the old French
settlers to have a ' water front' to their pro
perty, a thing they never failed to secure if it
was possible. They were thus enabled always
to have water for their own use and that of
their stock without the digging of wells, a. thing
almost without exception unpracticed, and, we
believe, almost unknown to theM. There was
in those days and under these circumstances
no need of artificial water-works ; every house
holder had his habitation within a convenient
distance of the river, to which a well-worn
path was made, and in winter storm, as well as
under the summer sun t .the water was drama
from the river'in front.
These lands '
or claims, as they are known,
were recognized by the United States getrern
ment, • and patents issued therefor to the
original claimants or their heirs on proper ap
plication, the patents being numbered in order
as.iSsued . For instance; the Brecoort farm. is
still known as private claim No. 20, and was
patented ••to llobert'Navarre, of whom mention
bas recently been made •in these columns.
The Joseph Campau farm is still designated as
private claim No. 609, the patent or deed of
which lyas originally issued to Charles roil
paid and so of the other claims, according to
number."
Lost in the Woods.
A story comes from Bangor of the death, in
the Maine wilderness,
of four out of five per
sons, with their two horses, who were on a
hunting and fishing excursion. The sole
survivor, who is a Frenchman, says that
the party for the first fortnight had good
luck and rare sport ; then one of them was
taken with diphtheria, and being fifty
Miles from any medical assistance,
died within a few hours. Within three days,
three more perished of the same disease, and
the remaining one was seized with it. He lay
in a stupor so long that when he recovered the
horses had died of famine, and the wolves had
partly devoured the corpses of his Companion,s,
which had been buried hi the snow outside the
camp for preservation. After untold suffering
he.reached in Indian camp, and 'later came: to
the abodes of white people.
