A^ Awhol xolooaust. Tht nobg Kong Mail- saeY: At 110A1160, on the 7th of Janeary, a terrible calamwkyroeurred. 'A fire Uoke out at 10 o'block in the morn ing, stone of the relief yards estab-. %Whb-outside of the city wall for the bentifS of the famine rehigee. A strong ortheast wind was blowing at tel time, and scarcely an hour pased before all the sheds were butned, and between 2,800 and 8,000 womi and children were suffated or boneo to death. As correct an es timate as I can get gives the number of Iinales as 8,000 of whom only a little over 100 escaped. The h-ca. ti,h. of this soup kitchen was mnfor% tinate. On the east side was the city ditch; on a papt of the south and west sides was an ice pit, while houses lined the remainitg sides. In addition, it was surrounded >y a strong fence of kauling stalks plas-, tered with mud, in which there was ouly one gate, aull it is sald that on the bursting forth of the flames the gate keeper locked the gate and ran away. Many of the chinese showed much.courage in trying to render as i stance, as testified by an eye wit ness, who, passing just at the time, hastened to do what he could in tear ing down the fence and rendering other services. Re speaks of tl>e scene of that time as terrible beyond description. 'The scene presented after the fire had done its work was gh'Astly and horrible, and the pIcture of it rises before my mind as one that can never be effaced. The con tortiois of the features, the positions of thu bodies, hands limbs, mouth and eyes, the same as when the flame and smoke overtook thet, re minded one of the descriptions of Pompeii. iad the gate been left open probably many more might have maee their escape, but so rapid *ly did the flames spread through the mat sbeds, and in the straw and mats spread on the ground as a protection against dampness, that before an opening ould. be made in the fence, few even were left to linger on in suffering. [low the fire originated -no one seems to know--a spark, probably, from the range where, at the time, the millet was cooking. NTaw Yoax, March 1O.-A special fromn Atlanta, Ga., says: "The city of Atlanta experienced to day the se vgrest wind storm or rainloss tornado ever known bore. The storm burst, suddenly about, 11 o'clock a. mn., and when all the churches were filled with worshippers, and lasted, without rain but with eteady and tremendous force, for two hours. The Episcopal Chburch, like others, was filled at the hour for the commencement of divine service, and no thought of danger was enter tained by't,be congregation; but dur, lng the early part of-the service, the wind suddenly rose and shook the whole bnilding to its foundation. The of#eiating minister realized at once that a tornado had struck the build, ing, and knowing it was merely .a question of minutes to secure the safety of the people, he0 cried out to them to throw themselves unde-' the Sseats. This advic the congregation at once followed, and not a moment teo soon. With a few fearful creaks onIb jars of its roof and walls, the %boIleulding crambled into a shape. less ra~In, buvying the congregation under the obr . Luckily the shel, ter afforded by thw seats protected the great mass of the 'ongregation, but eighteen were seriously wounded by * the falling timbers. Norw of those, however, have died. Seveal other churches in Atlanta have betn seri onsly injured, their walls aIlakertand roofs partly t. .;pped. . i City fli was entirely unroofed and C.'o cas sheds of the railroad depot unsestled. *There was groat damage, an estin ate of which cannot yet be determined. A Cnrr SHAKENI AND SCARED.-A special from Naishvi lie, Tennessee . sys that a terrific earthquake shock was felt at Columbus, Kentucky, at 4 o'clock on Mionday mnorning, 13th iuistant. It awoke cthe residents of the..town and oreaied considerable consternation. Beadetoads rolled a -cross, tbe floors of rooms, bnreaus anid presse wore thrown down and brok es., A pottion of the Mississippi crbn aved In near the town, leygone bhense hanging over the bJp.f TI71 movement was so violent as to riftg.bolls on locomotives stand Wore ibout Xr- Hayo. The followk.ng, congideriog that iI comeo from the Phll delphia TImes, a paper ppblished In loyal north to fu!l of significance: "The trilth is thit retribution has come upon the Republicad party with a &yttqs ond a force that is almo4t Impossible to wtbstand, and.. the sarcasm of des tiny is seen in the fact that the hand that deals the blow is the hand of him- whose promotion to place and power, as the representative --of the party, a great -crime- was committed. The conscionenees of this crime rank ing in the breast of every Republican who witnessed the electoral frauds without a protest makes the situam tion more -critical. As man after man becomes alienated from the ad. ministration he falls into line with the opposition and tries to calm his conscience by condemning fraud even louder than the regulation Dem ocrate. The yell of "fraud" is be coming so general that it drowns all other party cries political watc 's words. . Clearly the first thing to be d>ne, if the Republican. party is to be restored to life, is to stop this din that falls upon the ear of the leaders, now like the roar of the tempest and now like the kuell of departed hopep, but always in tones that strike terror to the guilty conscience. This is a task for a Hercules and Hercules is not in the Republican ranks at tbis time. It looks very much as though the obj ct cannot be accomplished withont the removal of the fraud it self, or all that now remains of it, and tiat operation is very likely to kill the patient." The inside as well as the cutside o, farmer's homps should be pleasant. The eye naturally loves what is beau tiful, and through this organ the taste is educated arnd the mind enlarged. Pleasant pictures on the walls,wreaths of flowers from the gardon, fieldb .and forest, works of poesy, fiction and science are wit.hin the reach of the most humble, and their influence for good upon .the mind and character cannot be over-.estimated.
