MONTGOMERY HOUSE,
Five Mile River, Fairfield (10., Conn.
I HAVE recently leased for a term of years a new
and commodions Hotel, 2% miles from Norwalk
and 5 miles from Stamford, (a new station, “Roway-
ton," has just been opened within X mile of the Ii o-
tel). The House has been furnished with new furni-
ture throughout. It is located on the banks of Five
Mile River, with a frontage of 150 feet. House 50x45
feet, three stories and basement. Ithas a command-
ing View of Long Island Sound, and in close proximi-
t to a desirable beach forbathin . By the New York

hours. There are also plying constantly between N.
Y. City and Norwalk, two steamers, one leaving‘every
day, morning and evening, also, a sloop from t e Ho-
tel once a week; thus affording a. variet of conveyan-
ces to and from the city. Within 3:; o a mile of the
Hotel are two churches, as well as numerous residences~
of higiily respectable families, forminga settlement
at once agreeable and delightful to the sojourner. My
experience as a public caterer, both South and East, is
that - of acknoweledgcd ability to keep a first-class
ilouse. There are numerous drives in this neighbor-
hood that are unsurpassed; those who appreciate
aquatic s iorts, will find the boating and fishing une-
qualed. The terms of board are accommodating, and

A WOMAN’S CONCLUSIONS
I said, if I might go back again
To the very hour and place of my birth ;'
Might have my life whatever I chose,
And live it in any part of the earth;
Put perfect sunshine into my sky,
Banish the shadow of sorrow and doubt;
Have all my happiness multiplied,
And all my suffering stricken out;
If I could have know’n in the years now gone,
The best that a woman comes to know;
Could have had whatever will ninkc her biest,
0r whatever she thinks will make her so;
Have found the highest and purest bliss
That the bridal wreath and ring enclose:
And gained the one out of all the world,
That my heart as well my reason chose;
And if this had been, and I stood to-night
By my children, lying asleep in their beds
And could count in my prayers, for a rosary,
The shining row of their golden heads;
Yea! I said if a miracle such as this
Could be wrought for me, at my bidding, still
I would chose to have my past as it is,
And to let my future come as it will!
I would not make the path I have trod
More pleasant or even, more straight or wide;
Nor change my course the breadth of a hair,
This way or that to either side.
My past is mine, and I take it all:
Its weakness—its folly, if you please;
Nay, even my sins, if you come to that,
’ May have been my helps, not hinderanccs!
If I saved my body from the flames
Because that once I had burned my hand;
Or kept myself from greater sin
' By doing less—yon will understand;
It was better I suffered a little pain,
Better sinned for a little time,
It the smut-ting warned me back from death,
And the sting of sin withheld from ci'ime.
Who know: its strength, by trial will know
What strength must be set against a sin ;
And how temptation is overcome .
He has learned, who has felt its power within!
And who knows how a life at the last may show ‘1
Why, look at the moon from where we stand!
Opaque, uneven, you say; yet it shines,
A luminous sphere, comp‘ete and grand!
So let my past stand just as it stands,
And let me new, as I may. grow old;
I am whaEI am, and my life for me
Is the best40r it had not been, I hold.
Our East India Correspondence.
U. S. S. Snoor or Will: “IROQUOIS,”
YOKOIIAMA, JAPAN, May 29th 1868. l.
MEssns EDITORS :—Thirtcen of us in all
went out on the 24th inst, to see the statue
of “ Dai-bootz," twenty one miles frOm
here. I had heard a grmbout it, and
felt very‘auxious iii-see it, and at last formed
a party to go, and-In 4 a. m. on' the above
date, we arose, breakfastcd, strapped on our
Revolvers and started on our Journey.
Seven of its—myself included,—went on
horseback, and the rest of the party went in
buggies, and carried the Refreshments. We
went by the way of the Tokaids (the Impe-
rial road) passing through the villages of
Kanagawa, Odougia, Totsuga, and Fugi-
sawa, arriving at the latter place at 8 35 a.
m., here we stopped to feed our horses and
take a lunch, which occupied an hour tfld a
half; here we were informed that it was im-
posiblc to go any further in carriages, ow-
ing to the narrowness of the path, and all
those who had rode thus far in carriages
either had to walk the remaining distance,
3 miles, or hire Norimons (a Japanese chair
or Palanquiu, carried on the shoulders of two
men,) all of the party walked, except. .one
who procured a Norimon, at an expense of
five Itzaboos ($1,663 This price at home
would appear quite reasonable, but here in
Japan where labor is so very cheap, the
'price was enormous, however, we did not
stop to argue upon this point. Those who
were lucky enough to have come on horse-
back, could ride the whole distance, so I be-
ing one of the fortunates, had nothing to say.
We were obliged to walk our horses, so that
all might keep together, as in this section of
the country, it is very unsafe for a party to
become separated, as the Japanese are very
apt to take advantage of such a favorable
opportunity, and would not hesitate in tak-
ing our lives, were they certain of them-
selves escaping punishment, we finally reach-
ed “Dai—bootz” at 11 o’clock. It is said to
be the largest metal statue in the world be-
ing a casting of Copper, Bronzed, 42 feet
high, 115 feet in circumference at the base,
breadth across slio ers 24 feet; heighth
from base to top of t umb '7 feet, length of
Thumb nail 7% inches, diameter of finger-
6},{ inches; and ' thickness of metal 1 inch.
The statue is in a sitting posture with the
feet under him and _his hands folded.
The History of “Dai—bootz,” from inquiries
made and the information I received from
the Japanese, is in my opinion, something
which" they know very little about else their
constant habit of telling falsehoods, lessens
their powers of telling the truth. I have
heard from several parties who have visited
“Dai-bootz” thfit they were given different
dates Of his birth and death, one having been
told that he was born in 1170 and died in
1186. I was told that he was born over 2000
years ago, and died when very young; this I
should judge is nearly correct, as the most
of the dates givcnliiiake it about that length
of time, and they then erected this statue of
him ;‘ there are several in J apan,'blittliis is
said to be the largest of them all. Some--
claim it to be one casting, others that it is
‘cast in pieces and afterward brazed together
most probably the latter, as it is hardly pos-
sible to pour such an immense "casting of
metal. The casting is hollow inside and
used by the Japanese as a Temple; all of us
went inside, got a ladder, and painted our
names on the shell as high up as we could
reach, we saw several other names there,
some of them dating as far back as 1862.
We were informed by the Japanese that the
reason of “Dai—bootz" being worshipped was
because he was the first one to introduce the
Buddhist religion in Japan and they believ-
ed him one of God’s disciples, as he made
many attempts be'fore he was successful.
The Japanese tried to oppose him in every
.way when the snails came to his protection,
completely covering his body, thus the cause
of the Japanese worshipping snails and other
shell fish. The top of the head is covered
with representatives of the snail, there is one
also standing on the center of his forehead
very prominent. All of us went up and sat
on his arm his body affording a good pro-
tection fi'om the sun, two of us then tried to
climb on top ofhis head, by placinga ladder
at his back, which rcnched as high as the
windows used for admitting light and air
inside of the statue ; on reaching the win-
dows, we found we could go no further as
there was nothingto catch'hold of to draw
ourselves up, so we had to abandon the hope
of setting on the top of his head, and made
ourselv‘es content with whatwe had already
seen. We then took a lOok in some of the
Caves, the largest of Which is about 15 feet
high and 30 feet long, and then Started in the
direction of Fugisawa, at which place we left.
the carriages dud refreshments; on coming
into town some of the party had got a little
'in advance but not out of sight and in a few
moments we saw them stop .very suddenly
and beckon to us, we hurried on, and soon
ascertained‘he cause of their sudden halt.
About twenty armed Japanese were stand-
ing in the road, who, with their two swords
~ and revolvers hanging at their' side, looked
rather dangerous; discretion being the better
part of valour, it was thought we had better
pass by in a body. So we all got our Revol-
vers ready in case of an attack, and passed
by, but nothing occurred, except a few
scowls from them; had we been struggling
along or of half thb number, and showed any
sign of fear,.I have not the least doubt but
' NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, TUESDAY, JULY 21; 18,68.
that they would have attacked us, as it is a
well known fact that all through Japan,
most of these vagabonds would attack :1 Eu-
ropean, if he thought he could do so without
getting himself in trouble. We finally reach-
ed the Japanese house where we left our
carriages, and took our provisions up stairs
in a room assigned to our use, and laid our
dinner out upon the cleanly matted floor
(the Japanese use no Tables or Chairs) and
squatted down around it like so many lin-
tivcs. We then told our host 0 01m mo-fo-Ico
“Bring some tea" and then called for Ulla
waug “Tea cups” both of which were kindly
brought and with very little difficulty we
managed .to satisfy our appetites. Our
Hostess then brought us some Japanese pil-
lows, a small piece of wood six inches high,
six wide and two thick with a small pad on
top—and iii a little time we were laying off
comfortably, enjoying a manilla cigar. At
half past tlireg we called for our bill, and
sent for our horses; the bill was brought first
made out in Japanese symbols, which none
of us understoOd, but after our best read it
over to us, we found that our bill amounted
to Sign gie boo or thirty two Itzaboos, or in‘
other words $40.66, a most outrageous ex-
tortion for feeding our horses, 11qu gallon Of
tea, and use of room. We did not attempt
to rcmonstratc with him, for fear he might
have a crowd of two sworded gentry close at
liand,but quickly made up the sum and paid
him, receiving his receipt, in case he should
say and demand it again. By this time
our horses were ready so we bid Scion-
am “Good bye" to all and started toward
home, or Yokohama, as I might more prop-
erly call it in the same way that we come.
We met several J apanesc Officers on the To-
kaids but we passed along peaceably, as none
of them attempted to interfere with us. - ‘
All along the route our eyes were attract-
ed by the beauty of the surrounding country;
the luxuriant folage, the tall trees interiiiiu.
gled with the low green bushes, and at all
times meeting with a constant change of
scenery reminding one of such views, as we
find, but very seldom, only in the tropical
climates. Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasures of the day, the sun was out bright
and warm, and a gentle breeze was stirring
just enough to make it refreshing, and on
coming into towh at 6.40, the cluttering Of
the hOrses shoes upon the stone pavement
attracted considerable attention as we were
passing through the main street, bringing to
the doors and windows the inmates of the
European dwellings, to see what the excite-
ment could be. We drove to the Phoenix
-Hotel, the only one in Yokoha'ma kept by
an American, sent our horses, &c., to the
stable, and after taking a bath, brushing our
shoes and clothes, separated perfectly satis-
fied with our 42 miles ride, and our visit to
“Dai-bootz’f
We intended taking another stroll in that
direction in a week or so, going a different
route through Kan-asawa and Kama Kora ;
the former place there are two sacred rocks,
very peculiarly carved, and worshipped by
the Japanese they claiming them to have
been dropped from Heaven. ' In Kama Kara
there are several, Temples, and two Sacred
horses to bestow, I will tell you more of
these in my next.
Everything about Yokohama, is nearly
the same as ever Mai-game still retains its
beauty. It is si§ty five miles from here and
on a clear day, is a most magnificent sight,
and which in beauty perhaps hath not its
equal, springing abruptly from a broad base
into an almost peifect cone truncated only at
the extreeme piuaclc,and towerin'g' far above
all the surrounding ranges of hills. The es-
timated height of the edge of the crater above
the level of the sea is 13,977 feet and the
highest peak 14,177 feet. The volcano has
long been extinct, the latest eruption record-
ed was in 1707; I have been informed that
it is never free from snow,except two months
in the year, July and August.
The bay of Yokohama is generally filled
with vessels, no less than thirty two being
here at the present time. - The cx-Rebel Ram
“Stonewall” is here, but is not to be given
up to the Japanese Authorities until it is de-
cided who the Government is. Two Reve-
nue Clittch,. (American) the “Cuyahoga”
and “Pawtuxet” are also lying here, the
former I believe was sold to a Japanese
Prince to-day. The “Kago—noKnim’lform:
erly the “Sagamore,” a U. S. Gun boat has
been lying here several months waiting to be
sold, but the parties ask more for her than
the Japanese feel inclined to give. She was
under a $200 a day charter for fifty days, to
the Governor of Yokohama, in case he was
obliged to skedaddle, which he did not have
to do, so the charter paid Well as she lay at
anchor all the time. ’ -
It is hard to tell when affairs will be set-
tled here, as the Japanese are now fighting
at Yeddo. The Mikados Governor at chdo
has been assassinated ; nothing , further
worthy of note has transpired to my knowl-
edgcd, so I am unable to write anything
more concerning the news of the day.
With best wishes to my Norwalk friends,

The'Mother Teacher.
At a recent celebration of the Sunday
School Union of Patterson, N. J ., it was
stated that the Sunday school enterprise was
started in that city swarm/four years'ago by
Sarah Colt, a little girl eleven years of age.
She collected the children of the factories to-
gether, and taught them from Sunday to Sun-
day, until she liad as niany as sixty under
her personal care. For’ forty years she was
a teacher, and is still living in Patterson,
eighty-five years of age.
Now mark the fruits. 0n the Occasion re-
ferred toffour thousand (dollars and pupils,
forming a processsion over two miles long,
marched past the residence of the mother in
Israel, saluting her with their sweetest songs
and receiving in turn her acknowledgments
in smiles and bows. What must have been

now the Democratic Nominations
Take at the South. .
A dispatch of recent date to the New
York Times, from Richmond, says :—
A rand ratification meeting was held
here ast night, at the theater. Three thou-
sand peo le were present; The enthusiasm
was granabutentirely so'ut’zem, Gov. Vane
spoke at great length, repeating his New
York speech, saying in addition there-
to, however, that he could talk more famil-
iarly of wrongs in the south here than at the
,north. His idea was that what the confeder-
acy fought for WOULD BE WON BY THE ELEC-
TION or Summon AND BLAIR.
He was followed by Governor( General)
Wise, whose greatest expression was that
he did not care for the platform It told a
lie in its first resolution. Secession was
more alive than ever 1 He supported the
nominees, and especially Blair, because he
had declared that he would assume military
power! The Governor spoke wildly and dc-
nounced the aristocracy, the know nothings,
and all who in former times had opposed
the democracy. - He then dramatically seiz-
ed a federal officer by the hand and proclaim-
ed tiiat the northern and southern soldiers
were firm friends. (Boistrons cheers.)

The Opinions ofthe Rev. Ilonry Ward
Beecher. .
To the Editors of the Boston Advertiser .'
I left Brooklyn on Monday, July 6, but not
before the World had published that I had,
on Sunday morning, in a political sermon,
come out for Chase for the Presidency, and
against Grant; and ‘I have seen the story
every day since racing through the papers.
Tlieijcisnot a word of truth init. The scr-
lll()li \ 'us not political, and it made no allit-
siou either to Grant or to Chase. The appli-
cation of some of its paragraphs, in either
direction,was the work of the reporter of
the World, not mine. -
I have never been 0. Chase man. I have
for years, as slender in public affairs deeui-
ed him, like his'grcciibacks, as promising
more on the face than they are worth in
gold. While the New York Independent was
landing him as a demigod, and the IV, Y.
Tribune was using his name to obscure the
prospects of Grant, I heartily and openly
dlsagrecd with both of them, for I thorough-
ly liked Grant and thoroughly distrusted
Chase. He is a splendid man to look upon
but a poor man to lean upon. Ambition
lifts some men toward things noble and
good; makes them large and generous.
Other men's ambition blur the sharp lines
and distinctions between right and wrong,
and leaves them, in the eagerness of over-
.sclfisli desires, to become a prey of bad men.
I have for years felt that Mr. Chase’s ambi-
tion was consuming the betterelementsof his
nature.
I have liked Grant from the first. Solid,
unpretentious, straightforward, apt to sue-
ceed, and not spoiled by success, wise in
discerning men, skillful in using them, with
the rare gift (which Washington had in an
eminent degree) of wisdom in getting wis-
dom from other men’s councils—I confident-
ly anticipate that, great as his military suc-
cess has been, he will hereafter be known
more favorably for the wisdom of his civil
administration.
The seven-fold humiliations and recante-
tious through which Chase was required to
go for a Democratic nomination, only to see
the smiling Seymour looking benignly down
upon his lost estate, has no parallel except
in the immortal history of Remake Fuchs.
There will now be no third candidate be-
tween Grant and Seymour. It will be a fair
fight between rugged honesty and plausible
craft.

BOSTON, JULY 8, 1868.
Terrific Balloon Casuaiity.
We condense from the New Bedford
Standard, the particulars of a very unusual
accident which happenediu that city on the
Fourth of July. A balloon ascension was
to take place from the Common, under the
management of Mr. George Collard, of Bos-
ton, in the General Grant, thirty-five feet in
diameter, and about seventy-five in height,
from the bottom of the car. As thaballoon,
with Mr. Collard, was just commencing its
ascent, a. most frightful accident occurred.
The remnant was about to cut the guy' that
confined him (0 a lantern-post on form
firma, when the line got fouled with his an-
chor, which projected over the car, and drew
it off, sovthat it fell to the ground, a distance
of about 30 feet, striking on the head of
William Mottram, of Taunton, 3 boy 10
years old. The anchor immediately caught
in the clothes of two other boys, Charles,
Jones, son of Isaac M. Jones, of the city
watch, and Jean Battistc Bormeauf and
took thciu up in the air. Mr. Collard did
not dare to attempt topull them up _to the
car, fearing their clothing would give way,
and therefore cut the line by which they
were suspended, as soon as possible. The
boys were then at a height of about 75 feet.
ankily they came down in a tree on the
common, and their fall was partially bro-
ken by its branches. The balloon rose to a
great height. and having no anchor the de-
cent, tliopgli attended with some peril, was
successfully accomplished. Mr. Collard has
been praised for his promptncss in cutting
the rope by which the boys were so fright-
fully suspended, and he undoubtedly did
the best thing under the circumstances. It
was an agonizing spectacle to the ' vast
crowd, who saw the whole of the transact—
ion. Drs. J. H. Mackic and Swasey per-
fomied the trepanuing operation on the
Mottram boy’s head on Saturday afternoon,
relieving the brain from the pro re of dis-
placed bone, and he is now rational and ap—
parently doing well, though the case is a
critical one. The other boys are attended
by Dr. Jennings. Borneau is getting along
finely. Jones has not yet fully recovered
his senses, but is thought to be out of dau-
gcr, as his symptoms are favorable.

A TOUCHING SCENE—When. the ballot
liad terminated, Mr. Tildcn of New York
sought Mr. Seymour and found him in one
of the large ante-rooms of the convention
liall,cntirely alone and with the tears stream-
ing from his eyes. “My God’, Tildeu, what
shall I do? This is terrible !” exclaimed the
reluctant one. The placid Tildcuwas equal
to the occasion, and replied with something
pertinent, if not original. “Sir, the Presi-
dency has sought you, not you the Presiden-
cy, and you must take it. Consoler and
consoled locked arms and sought more re-
tired quarters mutually happy.
Willa Beach has been struck. with the,
great number of queer proper names found
at the south, and has written about it to the
Sim. Two Georgia locomotives of his ac-
quaintance were called respectfully “Up-
liaupec" and “Upatoie.” “Loachapoka”and
"Notagulga" are names of towns and hotel
in Alabama ; “Pliytanee,’ and “Perdido,” as
“John ,the Baptist,” “Religious,” and “Good.
Children,” are names of streets in New Or-
leans. Among the names of merchants cm-
binzoncd on the signs of the Crescent city,
he noticed “Fatjo,” “Kelilor,,’ “quiiel,”
“Shallcrosss,” Swymmer,” “Holyland,” and
“Thrcewits.”
THAT BANNER—An innocent delegate in-
quired Thursday night how it was, if Seyo
niour’s nomination was entirely .unexpect-
ed, that a finely executed portrait of the un-
willing candidates was ready for the banner
paraded in the streets within an hour after
the nomination. The Buckeye intellect,-be‘-
wildered by the astounding tactics of New:
York polititians, was not adequate to the
explanation of this curious phenomenon,
and we are unable to give it any assistance
in this case. Sometimes a small and ap-
parently immaterial circumstance will fast-
en on a criminal conclusive evidence of his
gilt. In like manner this insignificant ban-
Iicr, bearing the unmistakable likeness of
the oft-declining Seymour, and carried
through the streets immediately after his
nomination, will furnish irrcfi'agablc proof
that when Mr. Seyinour’s friends ( lared
.him out of the field, they knew that they
were perpetuating a fraud—Evening Post.
W
. WHoraIIO—Seymour has' run for Office
time and time again, but whether elected or
defeated, he has never failed to ‘ rim behind
his ticket.
“Eaton,” says the Springfield Republican,
“was in the inside ring controlling the slow
progress of affairs and feeding the sacrificial
knives with victims."
