lias his Loch Lomond, or Loch Katrine;
the Swiss his Genevan Lake; the English

Killarney. We havo been sailing for
twenty-tour hours, ten, miles an hour,
through a succession of changeable scciie-
ry, ah idea of which you can have only by
bearing in mind, the honle-beautilhl spots
I have named. The bills aro covered to
the very tops with the liveliest green,
or these hills ale terraced generally
with garden spots, one overhanging tho
other. Along maiiy of th® hills; and on
th(j very summits, are string of lofty
trees, bo trained 88 to make a seeming
to:, turnouts march■ of forest to forest over
every hill top.. •• f. ; ;.
There is no more lnxnrious tra veling on
earth, than this down the Inland Sen of
Japan. True, a hot sun is over our heads,
often clouded though, and affording a can-
opy.. We areiyi the upper deck, on the

tea in abundance, of, if we will, mint ju-

I spoke of ill a former letter,''an a fellow

Kagasaki, v.lTeVe, as owner of eoal
mines, which, if judiciously managed, he
is one of tins richest princes in the
World. I showed hini. in "Tales of .bt

into the ocean Mow. Never, since that
period, when the Koman Catholics may
have Uecn miM to have ruled tlte millions
of Jap:ui—-rumig them more, perhaps, 4 *
their soience, learning, tyr^s, than by the
force of the Lib'e—have any Christian
been permitted, as missionaries, to enter

who had, in liis house, a lady of rare
beauty, whom aWge cat throttled, then
taking her form, and making the Prince
believe that she, (the cat) was the real
beauty. IU-9 Vriuce kept on in lovo with
the eat. The beautiful wquuiu was at
last found out to be a vampire cat, wheii
a battle ensued, and the cat, worsted in
the light, returned cat, and escaping from
the fighting room, was shot by the I'rit ieeV
retainers. The prince laughed heartily at
the picture, and seemed to enjo.v the fable.
The Bay of Nagasaki is, if possible,
more beautiful than the scenery of the. In-
land Sea. The hills rise boldly from the
water's edge, and land lock the harbor.
■Everything here is fresh and talent now,
as if there were noi seventy or eigh-
ty thousand human beings on the hi!I
sides. The sun had just gone, as we
steamed inward, and people hi these lands
retire early to their mats, and rise 'early,
to greet the morning sun.
I sallied forth with that morning sun to
see irien and things, as then they arc best
to be seen. The pomegranate and palm,
tho persimmon and bamboo, are here,
there is a strange commingling of tho tem-
perate aud the torrid soneft. 8id«by side,
oaks and trees, and feathery bamboos
and palms, tlourish in equal beauty. The
sober views of the north arc mingled wit|t
the more vivid verdure of tho tropics.
Tho brown iish hawk, swooping down
from the hills upon his finny prey, or pois-
ed in the air, makes the hlilsccho with his
wild cry. ' v.-
Nagasaki is the oldest Ettropoati settle-
mcbt in Japan, and yet there are said te
be hot over 150 Europeans there now,
which means Americans too, for all here
boar one name. The Dutch were pent up
here for two cOuturten in the little Island
of Beeitna, and'allowed only once a year
to Visit a neighbiiribfe hill, and then under
a strong guard. Xa\ ier and his follow-
ers gained a footing here in tho sixteenth
century, to propagate the Holy Catholic
faith. The galleons of Portugal and Spain,
centuries ago Were here. Princes wen
