Ono man on the Pacific slope employ ed four weeks in writing 0,571 words on a postal card so that they can be read without the aid of a glass.

BSBBBWBSSSMBBBMaiBBjaBSBBSHBBSBBB The Boston Herald finds in Jeir Davis a man who, being allowed to live to criticise men on Itolh sides, lias failed to find any greatness in the country which could afford to treat him with utter con tempt.

When a mau once becomes thoroughly addicted to a brass horn, there is really uo telling to what depths of moral depravity he may descend. The eastern icr8 announce that Joseph Sabiu.the well known bibliopole of New York, is dead. We Hhould sup mdm) that avocation, whatever it may lie, would not be calculated to promote hu man longevity. There Is an agly scandal prevalent at Ulica to the elfect that Mr. Conkling sought this spring to evade a portion of bis legitimate taxes by failing to enroll Tom Plutt in the sworn statement of his personal property. The lalu Thos. A. Scott is said to have not voted in fifteen years prior to the last Presidential canvass, when he cast his ballot for General Hancock. His life, in all other regards, was of the most exemplary character. Is it possible that Conkling has not yet discovered that the time has come for him to bow to "the power to which alone we are bound T" That power has expressed itself very emphatically, and the bowing should begin. President Garfield was endorsed by tho Republicans of Oiio without going to Cleveland and taking off his coat to engage in a muscular fight in behalf of a "spontaneous vind ication." Mr. Conk ling should make a note of this. Bostonians are iu raptures over the bicycle- convention, anil Ilostou news papers deliver panegyrics on the "wheel- men." When it is remembered lln;t Huston claims to be the "hub" this ac tion may not be considered singular. If Governor Cornell doesnt soon cease protesting his unwillingness to became a candidate for United States Senator from New York, tho conviction will be. come prevalent luut it would, not be a very hazardous experiment to attempt to force him. The New York Tribune calls Mr. Conkling's attention to the fact that the man who is big enough to bull-doze the Republican party has not 'yet been born. The primate will probably grasp this important fact after he gels fully settled in his new law oflice. Vignaux and Sloeson are to play bil liards again, and then, as the French' man is to come to America, those play ers who could bavc told Blosson what to do had they been in Paris during the last match may try conclusions with Vignaux themselves. New York Herald: It is all a mis take aUtut the Whittaker trial being nearly as expensive to the nation as tho fisheries' award. The total cost docs uot quite reach forty thousand dollars; but even this sum is enormous in com parison with all that either the cadet or the government ha to show for it. Iit-aveuwoilh Times: W'. II. Bell, the man who identified Payne, the would, lie asiassiu of Secretary of State Seward, is in the state and purposes locating at Topeka.

Tho latest news from the Indian Terri tory will make the recent would-be squatters glad that they did not cross the border. Tho Governors f the Choc taws and Chichasaws have ordered all whites without permits to leave. The members of tho two nations are ready aud anxious to enforce the order, and civilisation docs not lessen the redskin's fondness for fighting. A Mormon leader says that la Utah there are fewer women than men. As women are the most enthusiastic of proselyte rs, and as Mormon women are said, by , their masters, to be the most earaest defenders of the peculiar institution. It U somewhat strange that they do not coax members of their own sex to Utah. There Is a large screw loose somewhere. A correspondent of the New York Tribune sums up to an interesting dis patch the prospects of a straigbtout Re publican ticket In Virginia. The con clusion it drawn that the mass of the Republican party will support the Ma. hone ticket. This is thought to be proved by the participation of large numbers of Republicans In the conven. lion of the other day, and the spirit dis played by them. When the expected conference of Republican leaders Las been held, it will appear bow far tkls demonstration of Republican strength for the new party bas affected their plana. New loik Tribune: General Grant continues to drag down the cause of bossisin by bitching the third term car cass to it. He says Conkling ought to be elected, and if he had anything to do about it be would be elected. He can not sec why he should not be permitted to free bis mind on this subjnet- There is no reason Le shouldn't il he wishes to. It is merely a question of taste, Conkling is fighting a desperate battle against the president for nominating the man who defeated Grant and killed the third term at Chicago. By taking sides with Conkling, Grant announces that he would lie extremely glad to see the Pres ident rebuked for just that tiling, and exhibits to the country the fact that he was immensely disappointed by losing the third-term nomination. Governor Foster was renominated by acclamation by the Republicans of Ohio at their slate convention at Cleve land. The approaching canvass in the Buckeye state promises to bo ono of un usual activity, as no effort will be spared by the Democrats to accuse the udvan- taire which a Bourbon victory would give them in that great commonwealth in Octolier. Il is fall to assume that Uic opposition will place at the head of their ticket their strongest available man, and that the contest will be, to say the- least, quite close, compared wiht that of last year. The state is famous lor its sun den political revolutions, and the fact that she gave President Garfield the handsome majority of 23,000 votes last fall is not. of itself, a warrant of what she will do in an off-year. In this view of the coso it is encour aging to know that the Iiepublicnns have retained as their standard bearer the very best political organizer in the state, and have placed at the head of their ticket a man whose skill in the management of a canvass, coupled with his great personal popularity places the result of the contest beyond all reasona ble doubt, and virtually assures a grand victory for the party which he repre sents. Governor Foster is an ardent support er of the administration, aud the action of tho convention in formally endorsing President Garfield will do much to in fuse vigor and enthusiasm into tho can vass. Isn't il about lime for the New York settle Legislature to quit fooling ami down to business. FAITH AND WORKS. In all the beautiful and terrible theo ries of the speedy end of the world that have been advanced from time to time there has liecn one fatal defect their ad vocates did not entirely believe in them. Some gentlemen and ladies have preach ed sermons and inflicted long talks on the public in defence of one or another dale fr the great conflagration ; others have licen enough in earnest to risk a dollar each on ascension rolies, but none of them have ever been known to be any less careful ot the morrow or about contracts to mature a year hence because they were in momentary expec tation of an appallingloot from Gabriel's horn. But advices from the cast indicate that at lost somo consistent listeners for the last trump have been found ; they are farmers, and have neglected to plant crops liccause, according to Mother Ship- ton, the end of the world will occur about the middle of this month. While some men have bod the courage to fight r their convictions and others to die for them, these farmers arc merely being lazy for tho sake of theirs. They are not to be spoken lightly of on this ac count, "however, for sooner or later, un less their neighbors are generous or their county poorhouso is large, they will have a chance to starve for sweet conviction's sake, and there is no stronger proof of sincerity than that. FROM CHICAGO TO THE PACI FIC. The Litrgrat ILillroad Knterrlc) on the Coutlnent. The public has watched the progress of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad with interest. Its wonderful ac- coinplishmcuU in the face of nil difficul ties have bc-:n a constant series of sur prises. Its march across the country with its iron bands has been liko that of a victorious army. When its plans arc completed, and its system of roads arc n opcratiou, it will be the grandest en terprise on the continent, and it will have turned an empire of wilderness into flourishing states. In its manage ment it bos been the grandest success of this century. Even twenty years ago had any one predicted that this great company would rise and do what it has done he would nave been considered a dreamer. -The rapidity with which its main line crossed tho plains: hewed down and tunneled tho mountains; with which its branches have reached out in every di rcction ; the incre.isc In population and wealth which it has brought to Kansas in so short a time, seem like a drenm rather than a reality. Hon. T. B. Murdock, in one of his western letters to the Commonwealth, gives the following description of what is now being done by this company and others with which it is connected : The Atluulic & Pacific railroad leaves tho Hue of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe near Alburqurquc, and steel track is laid 200 miles west of the latter place, in the direction oi oouinern Cauloruia. When completed it will be operated in connectmu with the Santa Fe road The Chicago. Burlington & Ouincv and the Atchison, loin-Ka ranta r e roads, owned by ijohimi people, win, in my udguient, at no distant day, form one continuous line iroin Chicago to tit City of Mexico, and to a point on the Gulf of California near Ouayinas. The St. Ijouis & San Francisco company, with headquarters nt New l ork, lormeriy owned, not only a Jiue of road from St. Louis to Vinita, in the ludian Territory, but bait acquired the right to the land grant of the Atlantic & Pacific road. By an agreement be tween the parties, the Boston people purchased a half interest In the St. Louis & San Francisco, then completed to Vin ita, with a brancb from fierce City, Mis souri, to Wichita, Kansas, and also a half interest In the Atlantic & I'acific road proper, which was proposed to be extended from Vinita to San Diego, on the Pacific coast. Under this agreement the Boston people were to furnish half the money aud the New York people the other half, for the construction of this line, the road to lie under - joint control. Fifty-three million dollars have been subscribed and is now in the pool for the building of this road, aud Mr. Thomas Niekerson, of Boston, is made president ot tbe new company. Mr. Niekerson was formerly president of the Alcnison, iopeita & sauta He road, and we believe we are safe in saying that he and his immediate associates have raised more money and built more miles of railroad wan any other corpor ation in the world. With their new lines completed, as now contemplated, they will have a continuous railroad from Chicago to the city of Mexico; to Guaymas, on the Gulf of California; San Diego and Son Francisco, on the Pacific coast: with another trunk line from St. Louis, via Vinita and tno ran Handle of Texas, to an intersection or botn roads at or near Albuquerque, New Mexico. And while on the subject of railroads. let me make another venture. A line of steamers will soon be built for the East India. China and Japan trade, and will be ran In the interest of this Boston company. Another lincof steamers will be pu. on' between uoston and Liver. nool that will excel in sneed, and com fort ny of the floating palaces now on the Atlantic, so that within ten or a dozen years the "Hub" will not only be looked upon aa the centre of culture, but will also become a dangerous rival of New York, for commercial supremacy. PRO- Judtre Morton, of Totieka, in tho Shawnee county district court, on Wednesday, rendered decisions in four cases under the "Act to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicatin liquors, except for medical, scientific and mechanical purposes.". In each case the defendant filed a motion to squash the information as not stating facts sufficient to constitute a public of fense, and it was upon questions arising out of these motions that the opinion ot the court was iriven. In two of the cases referred to, the de fendants, both ot whom were druggists, werecharged with selling brandy and al cohol upon a written prescription of practicing physician without having procured a druggist's permit therefor from the probate judge, as is required by the second section of the prohibition act; and the court, holding that the Leg. islaturc bus the right to put such reason able restrictions upon a privilege guar anteed by the constitution as to prevent its abuse, and also recognizing the power of the Legislature to confer upon the probate court any jurisdiction not incon sistent with the exercise of that confer red upon it by the constitution, over ruled the motion in each case to quash the information. In the other cases the defendants, also druggists, were charged with selling, without having taken out the "permit required by the prohibition act, medical preparations, the base of which was al cohol, but which contained a large pro portion of drugs and medicinal herbs, compounded in the form of bitters and of patent medicine. The court in these coses snstained the motion to quash the information and accompanied its decis ion with the following pertinent obser vations: "The history of the movement which resulted in the adoption of the ' Prohibi tion Amendment," and the enactment of the law now under consideration, and the object to be thereby secured, are too well known to give rise to any dispute. Those who voted for the amendment were not voting to prevent tho use of ar ticles common to toilet purposes or culi nary use. Jt was no attack upon bay rum, camphor or tincture of lemon ; it was intended only to strike at such liquors and mixures its were in ordinary and known use as intoxicating leverages or which, in the failure to obtain such l(cvcragf, it could reasonably and fairly lie believed would be usotl as substitutes. it seems that this intent and object of the law must be taken into consideration as an important element in its construction ; and that while some particular prepara tion, or "patent medicine" might possi bly, in iv tew cases, with a few exception al constitutions, produce effects similar to intoxication at an enormous risk of health of life perhaps the real Question and test, to which each "liquor" or "mix ture" is to lie submitted, is about this: Is there reasonable dnnwr that this will be used as or as nn equivalent substi tute for an intoxicating lieverajre?" The law should receive a reasonable construction equally removed on the one hand trom a fanatical coloring, and on the other from a tendency to fritter it away. These cases will lie taken to the su premo court, and will be heard at un early day in connection with those from the Leavenworth district court, in which. Judge Crozier recently gave an opinion.

' 1 iiey needn't put on style neither. I knew them when their dad couldn't buy a half a yard or jeans to halt-sole the basement of'his trousers with, and when molasses on their corn bread was a luxury only indulged in about once a year."

The old fellow lived near BenninghofT when that old stiff was rob bed. Maybe you have heard of the Ben ninghotf robliery ?" said the driver sud denly, noticing the Interest the latter re mark had excited. Tho reporter admit U-J tUS. be had. whereupon the man grew communica tive, lie knew all about the robliery, and proceeded to. narrate what proved an interesting chapter ot ancient cnmin al history. 1 was teaming about Petroleum Cen tre in 1806." said he. "and used to see Old Benninirholf.' as everybody called him, every Tew days, tie was un igno rant, stupid old Dutchman, who had ived in a miserable hut on his little farm, two miles from tho Center, on the side of a hill, for years, with his wife and son and daugthcr. 1 hey were poverty- stricken, like every boity else in that part of Uic world, aud never knew what ft was to have a dollar. When the oil excitement broke out, the country was Hooded with men and money, and as old Bcnningholf was njrht iu the middle of the oil-tield he was nnioug the first to lie benefitted.' 11c got a royalty on every barrel of oil that came from his place and before he had time to turn around the money began pouring in on him. It made him the most miserable man in the world. He was afraid to trust the money in the banks, and when it got too bulky to carry around on his person, he took to burying it in out of-tlie-wav places. That, too, failed to prove satisfactory, and tho ' old fel low hit on a brilliant idea. He bought two ponderous safes with barn -door locks, mid took them to his cabin. Then he dug tip bis treasure; tut it in his safe, and hired two men to stand guard night und day. The old chap's freak was the talk of the country, and a thousand stones were told about im. Meanwhile the money kept piling up, until ho got ifHOO.OOO in the two safes. Riches mode little change in his Btylo of liymg. He had no more use for it than a Fijec islander. When bis income was $2,000 a day from the wells on his farm, his wife used to go out in to the woods and gather lierries to take to town and sell. It is said that sha did a driving business in the sale of bunches of wintergreen, picked on the surrounding hills, while the old man and rhiidrin turned a dime or two by string sassafras roots and peddling the bark at Petroleum Centra for the people to make tea of. Ono day old Bcnningkoff was driving his old horse up the hill from town to his house. when a man curryng a ham und bag ot potatoes asked him for a ride. When ho got out, the passenger asked him how much the charge would be. 'About 15 cents will do. I cuess said the own er of $800,000 in cash, and the man paid it. "It went along this way for a while, until One day everybody was startled by hearing. that the old idiot had been rol bed. It was what had liecn predicted, but the reality sort of dazed the com munity. II was pretty generally kmtwu what he bad in his sates, and when the news started there was the wildest ex citement. One evening when young Benningholl wis off at a prayer-meeting party oi masked men surprised me guards and gagged the old man and his wife, and tied them, and, blowing open one of the safes, got away with $500,000 currency. The safe, though a big one, had a very common lock, and the roblicrs bad little troublo getting into The news flew like wild-tire, and the next day Benniughoff ollered a reward of $100,000 for the arrest of the gang or any members of it. This brought to tho Centre the ticst detectives in the coun try, and before long it was discovered that the robbery liua nceu committed ny party ot six men trom isiegerstown, a village fifty miles to the northwest. The scheme had been concocted by Jim Saeger, who took with him a brewer, shoemaker, anil three other fellows he knew and could trust. Hundreds of arrests were made, and fin ally nearly all of the little fishes were taken in, but Saeger, who had taken $300,000 of money, was too sharp for the detectives. Nothing was he-ird of him for years, though officers scoured Europe and America. Reports reached the Center occasionally that he was in Germany, or Turkey, or Paris, or Aus tralia, or some other distant point, but nothing came of it. Five or six days ago the man turned up in Denver, where he was recognized and arrested, but, BcnninehoiT having died and his estate having been wasted, the officers refused to go to the expense ot bringing him bock, and ho was released. They said that all tbe Important witnesses were dead, or scattered, and that ho could not bo convicted. Besides, there was no chance at the $300,000. Anyhow, Sae ger got off scott free. "It seems that after robbing the Ben- ninirhotr safe Saesrer not into a canal bout and -went down the' Allegheny river to Pittsburg, where he took passage with his two valises full of stolen money on a scow that landed him nt Cairo. From there he went to New Orleans, and then jumped to Havana and Rio Janeiro, where he cut it fat for a while, and then skipped to Mexico.- Next moved into Texas and went into tho cattle business. He was at Denver selling cattle when arrested. Sae ger vcas a tall, swathy, black-whiskered man, with Spanish features, and he had no trouble in passing himself off for a Spaniard, uniy one or the robbers was ever punished, that I beard of." "What became of Saeger?" "I don't know. He dropped out of sight after they let him go at Denver, and is probably in lexas or Mexico, where he will not be annoyed again by sheriffs. lie may be worth a million ior an l know." With this the- intelligent histo rian shifted his mules to the other end of his car, and prepared to take tbe back track, he having reached his journey's end while the chance discourse was in progress.

There arc over 700 delegates present, including seventy-five colored men. 1'aul, in his speech, congratulated the delegates up on the proud position tneir party boms to-day in Un; parties of this country. They were no longer held up to the world as a puuui party ci repudiation, but were recognized everywhere as the oiuy ueut paying party ui iuu suite. Al ter recess raui was mane permanent chairman. The committee on resolu tions and platform was elected. Gen Malione was recognized then and he was most enthusiastically called on lor a speech, and spoke as follows : 8KNATOK MAllOXK 8 ADDRESS. I greet you, my friends and fellow citi zens, with my most earnest compliments, and I beg to assure yon of the supreme grauncation wuicu i naye at tuis assem blage or my ruliow-cttizens. it niht the measure of mv loyal ambition to this people and this State. It testifies to me in words of warmth, which, I will never forget, your approval of my public con duct. It doubly assures me there exists yet in the hearts ot tbe people true de votion to jenersoman principles of government. It assures me that the people of this state in their might and Bovcngn power are here to say to the states of the Union that Virginia is to be put in cordial relations with the gov ernment. It assures me that in the future her fate, and that of her people, are to be identical, and that her march is to be for freedom and progress in this land. . It assures me that freedom of opinion is to rule in ail matters which relate to men. Yon sent me to the national capital as yonr representative. chosen without solicitation on my part, except tbe personal responsibility of de votion to serve the people, wherever they saw fit to put me. No sooner was I called to the capital to answer for yon than the policy of terrorism was put in I would be KKCttEANT TO MAS HOOD did I not maintain that I was there to voice the manhood of this people, there to oppose Democratic Bourbon ism, which attempted to dictate to the Read. justcr party of this state, and was not there to do the bidding of men claiming to be the Democratic party, but who would throttle free opinions and a free ballot. I want no more of that Democ racy. You are here to cive effect to equal rights, free ballot and an honest count, maintain economy in state gov ernment and support the present system of public education. You arc here to say to your representatives in contrress that they must represent the true inter ests ot the people of th is state, and not to represent a Oemocralic Bourbon cau cus, x ou are here to tree these people from Bourbon dominion and to lift the blight of Bourbon Democracy which has set in npon us. You are to restore the old stale and her people to more cor dial relations with all people of our com mon country, and put an end to section al contests and obliterate race distinc tions. Gen. Mahone concluded by urg ing harmony, and that to whomsoever they gave their banner they should stand oy mni to a man in the great light which Virginia is to make, for their freedom and the freedom of their posterity. There was great applause during Uic deliv ery, and at the close of the, speech res olutions approving Gen. Mahoj8 course in the United States senate were adopted unanimously, A platiorm of principles was adopted and the conven tion proceeded to the nomination of can. didatcs for state offices. TUK PLATFORM. The Rcadjustcrs platform of principles reassert a purpose to settle and adiust obligations on the principles of the bill to re-cstahlish Uie public credit, known as the Riddleberger bill, passed by the last general assembly and vetoed by the governor. They maintain this measure recognizes the just debt of Virginia, as sumes two-thirds ot the money coined and sets aside the other third to West Virginia to bo dealt with by her in her own way and at her own pleasure ; but those ol her creditors who have never received but 8 per cent, installments of jjuercbb in years, equally wmi inose corrupt agencies, were enabled to ab sorb and monopolize our means; that it agrees to pay such rate of interest on our securities as can and certainly will be met out of the revenues of the state : as- serts adherence to the constitutional re quirements for equal taxation of prop erty, exempting none except that spec ified by the constitution, and u.sed ex clusively for religious, charitable nnd e.lucalional purposes:" holds the richt to free ballot to be the right preservative of all rights, and that it should be main tained in every state in the Union : be lieves capitation tax A RESTRICTION UTOH SUFFRAGE in conflict with the fourteenth amend ment to the constitution of the United States, and believes it is a violation of that condition of reconstruction, wherein a pledge was given not to so amend the state constitution as to deprive any citi zen or class of citizens of the right to vote, except as a punishment for such crimes as arc felony at common law: congratulates the whole people of Vir ginia on the progress of the past years n developing mineral resources and promoting the manufacturing enterprise in the state, and declares a purpose to aid these great and growing industries by all the proper and essential legisla tions, state and federal. To this end they will continue their efforts in behalf of more certain nnd general relations be tween sections and states, and especially for that concord and harmony which will make the country to know how earnestly and sincerely Virginia invites all men to her borders as visitors, or to become citizens, without fear of social or political ostracism. That every man from whatever section of the country shall enjoy the fullest freedom of thought, speech, politics and religion, and that the state which first formulated these as fundamental in free government is yet citidel for their exercise and protec tion.

A number of votes were cast for Riddleberger. which were subse quently changed, at the instance of llutt gentleman who brielly addressed the convention, thanking the delegates who had complimented him. At the same time he said he thought il was well un derstood he was not a candidate, and his name would not bo considered, lie hoped that his friends would feel them selves relieved of auy and all obliga tions to support him. A resolution was introduced to drop the lowest candidate on each successive ballot, and that the candidate so dropped shall not be renominated until one bal lot intervenes. This gave rise to an ex citing debate, which, amid great confu sion, was put to an end by the main question being ordered. After which the resolution was adopted by an over whelming majority. At this point sev eral of the delegations favoring the nomination of General Grecucr asked leave to withdraw for ten minutes from the conference. It was granted, and business temporarily suspended. upon the return ot urcencr's iricnds tbe balloting was resumed, the fourth ballot showing a steady gain for Massey. iieloro the vote was announced a num ber of slight changes were made, mainly favorable to Cameron. Tho county of Accomac then changed their solid vote of twelve from Wise to Cameron. This was received with prolonged applause Change followed change in rapid succes. sion from Wise to Cameron. . Amid the great confusion which attended these changes the friends of Massey and Greener asked leave to retire for consul tation. No attention was paid to the re quest and the confusion continued to increase. While it was in altercation Gen. Mahone appeared before the con. vention and, as usual, was greeted with thundering applause. In an instant order was restored and he pleaded for harmony and begged that fair play be shown and. that ' the dele gation that wished to retire might do so and that the proceedings be sua pended during their absence. No fur ther objection being made- the Masscy and Greener men left the building. Upon their return the secretary pro ceeded to call tho - roll over tor the changes. When about half the counties had been called it became evi dent from the numerous changes in fa vor of Cameron that his nomination was a fixed fact. At this noint Masse v nut in an annear- ance and was greeted with great ap . . , - plause, lie said that rather than see the cause jeopardized by any dissensions among the representative men of the party he was willing to sacrifice every thing of a personal nature for the further advancement of the party interests. His friends had stood firmly by him and be hoped they would now follow him. They might not have the leader they de sired, but they should be willing to do everything lor harmony and be hoped iney would, as one man, vote to maKe the nomination of Col. Cameron nnani mous. A tremendous outburst of ap plause greeted this speech, and the ques tion being put it was carried with but a few dissenting votes. John T. Lewis, ex-United States Sena tor, was nominated for Lieut. Governor, and Capt. Frank S. Blair was nominated for Attorney-General. The committee appointed to wait on Col. Cameron and inform him of his nomination, reported that that gentle man would asknow ledge the compliment paid him at 9 p. m., to which boor the convention aujuuniou. - - : , ' Geo.

Om of the Moat Terrible Conflagrations Quebec, June .-One of the most disastrous fires with which this city uas ueen aimcico commenced last night, and was only got under control atlsix o'clock a. m. The first alarm was from tho comer of St. Oliver and St. Clair streets, at ten minutes before eleven o'clock. A few minutes later the bells from Basalisk. St. John and St Koch's churches rang out the second alarm. The reflection was so brilliant that in a short time half of the city appeared at tracted to the scene, liy halt past 11 o'clock all tho avenues around and leading to the fire were 'so coinnletclv packed with people that it was next to impossible to lorce a wavthrouch them. i ne scene or utter contusion in the vi cinityofthe conflagration beggars de scription. Half the people seemed pan ic-stricken, and three-fourths of the oth ers were only adding to the general con fusion by running against each other and assisting in the destruction of prop erty, ia the belief that they were render ing assistance in saving it. t arenis partially clothed hurried'along in every direction with infants in their arms and leading other's children by the hand Thousands of horses let loose from the burning stables rushed through the crowd The origin of the fire was in a stable on St. Oliver street, near St. Mary's street. -1 ho names immediately spread to the surrounding . wooden buildings und to streets above and below St. Oli ver. Latourellc, St. Marie and Riche lieu streets were quickly a mass of fire for some hundreds of feet, the flames from the other sides of the streets over lapping in the middle and completely closing them. The scenes common to all great fires were discernable at this stage. Even the police and firemen, to a great extent, were demoralized. Dar ing robberies were carried on freely, and in full sitrht of evervbodv. Stores and private dwellings attacked by the flames were ransacked for liquor, which was openly drank by the lowest degree of society common to the locality in ques tion, and who irequent the low hovels whose destruction is one of the least re gretable features of the disaster. The sparks which everywhere flew from the wooden buildings were themselves a terrible source of danger to the rest of tho city. It was a common sight to sec men's coats and hats ablaze from the burning wooden pieces of shingles that lighted on them. The wind being from the north drove the tire rapidly in the direction of St. Joseph's church. and various contrary local cur rents scattered the cinders around in every direction. Tho brigade found the fire more unmanageable than ever. They allege that four, wooden houses were found on fire by them when they arrived upon the scene, and with water absent and unattainable for some twenty minutes, it was impossible for them to obtain the master'. The hy drants had three good streams when water came into them, but too late to be of much service. When the fire spread as above described the meu of the bri gade lost all control over any portion of it. Their necessary sub division into so many parties was a weakness. The flames swept onward with almost light ning rapidity. The fury of tho devour ing elements knew no bounds but the city's outskirts, and none who failed to see them would be inclined to credit tho rate at which Uiey swept all before them. The greatest part of Duquillun street, west of St. Genevieve, had been destroyed, when the flames appeared in St. John street, a little further out. At o'clock the clanging of the bells of St. John's church in rapid and alarming tones, told of the danger to that prop erty, and summoned assistance. The whole efforts of the fire brigade imme diately bent on saving the sacred edifice, but to no avail. .Nothing was saved but the sacred vessels and some of the most valuable plate and furniture of the sanctuary. The lire took possession of the noble structure in almost less space of time than it takes to tell, and the finest and largest church in the city was doomed. It was a grand sight to witness the angry flames, climbing the steeples of the church and to see them C-ill a few minutes later. Tho more., northerly of the two was the first to go. It gradually tottered and then fell out on to the roof of the other structure ; the other steeple gradually sunk next After the church came the Friars' schools op posite, and still tho flames swept on. t rusting as it conndent so majestic an edifice could never fall a prey to any of the elements, the neighbors around had carried their household goods to the front of the church and there piled them at every door of the sanctuary, but all were irretrievably lost. The church was worth nt least $100,000; insurance only $1,000. At the foot of Jupiter street, below Berthelot market, the flames hod crossed from St. John street, and from this point they rapidly flew west along that tine avenue, keeping pace with the other division of the conflagration op posite. At Jupiter street it spread i southward to Berthelot market place, and destroyed Gabriel and St. Patrick streets as far out as there were buildings to be destroyed. : The Lower field alone stayed tho progress of the fire. It ran upwards toward tho Grand Alice at a terrible rate of speed. There being no water, men, hose nor other appliance to it, only the gap caused by the recent conflagration here stopped the total destruction of the wholo street, it is impossible to de scribe the spread ol the flames on every side, and it will, perhaps, lie more satis factory to give an idea of the limits of the burnt district. The only thing that the firemen succeeded in doing was to curb the fire east of St. Genevieve street. From Latourelle street up nearly to St. John street the westerly side of St. Genevieve street bas been swept away. To the north the fire extended as far as Richmond street. The western limit is little ucvond Uic street car stables at Mount Pleasant near the city boundary. The limit at Burton, near Scott, and at Gabriel streets, has been already men tioned. Briefly summed up the streets consumed arc: running cast and west Richmond in part, principally the south side, Latourelle, Oliver, Richelieu, Da- quillon, St. John's, a ward in Montcalm street, Gabriel, Nouvelle, and Briton ; running north and south the principal streets were Sutherland, Delagny, St. Clair, St. Marie and St. Genevieve, west side, besides Jupiter street in Mont calm ward, also west side. Among the property destroyed on John street were a large number of handsome build ings used as stores and private residenc es. . The battery was called out and ren dered excellent aid in saving property and in keeping order. Several remark able whirl-winds were caused by the fire. Men were in some cases lifted off their feet. On the Lower field where most of the burnt out people had camp ed with .their saved goods, the fire fol lowed the unfortunates and burned up most of the goods piled on the grass. Burning shingles fell over the city and as far out as Maple avenue during the night, endangering every part of the town. Several incipient fires in differ ent streets were suppressed by the vigi lance ot the occupants, it is computed that there must be a loss of two million dollars between the buildings, stock and furniture. Over 1.500 families are ren dered homeless and at least 800 build ings destroyed. It is impossible to give a full and correct list of the sufferers. losses and insurance companies at this moment, but all the insurance compa nies doing business in the city are heavy losers. The fire brigade and apparatus were quite unfit to cope with euch a fire, and to its weakness and wretched water service the whole disaster is due. Counterfeit Tree Agents. The Country Gentleman, in dealing with this familiar form of fraud, says : "Every year our exchanges about this time of year teem with accounts of the vigilant impostor in the fields under the name or tree agents.' r urcnasers are variously imposed on to some extent by them, but they do more harm to the genuine and trustworthy agents of reliable nur series. They prevent sales of valuable trees to those who do not discriminate between the genuine and the counterfeit. The Prairie Farmer has nearly a column describing the operations of some of these impostors, one of whom has strawberry on a Canada brier; pear trees on french stocks, vruicn never blight plant trees warranted to bear a heavy crop the year alter planting, which will be proof against the curculio; beside Utah hybrid berries, strawberries grow, ing on bushes, blue roses &c These men would meet with no success if pur chasers would take the pains to inform themselves on fruits and flowers, and be willing to read periodicals devoted to the subject, attend horticultural meet ings, and order the catalogues of repo- tabie nurseries ior prices and selections." - Because it adds to personal beauty by restoring color and lustre to gray or fad ed hair, and is lieneflcial to the scalp, is wny I'arkers liair uoisam is soca a po paiar aressing.

"Herman," said a Povdras street clothing merchant in New"Orleans, ad dressing his clerk, "hal ve sold all of aose overgoats vat vas left over from last vicicrr" -No, sir; dere vas dree of deni left yet." , . ,. .... . -veu, ve must sell 'em right avay, as do vmter vill not last, you know, Herman.

"Herman, here, wrap up dis here goat fur the schentlcman and drow in a cravat; it vill make him look nice mit the ladies." "Nebber mind, I'll keep de coat on." replied the negro, and pulling out a roll of money he paid for it and left the store. While he was around the next corner moaning over the stuffed purse, Holl'en- Bbum saiu to ins Clerk: "Herman,- fix un anoder one of dose goats dc same vey, and tlon't lorget to en dem dot Alisdcr Jones vot runs de pank on Canal street wore it yesterday.' A FABLE. The Fox'i Advice to the Hare. One day a Fox discovered a fine chance to capture a pullet for his dinner, the only drawback being .the tact that the Farmer had set a trap just in the path which any depredator must trayel. In this emergency the hungry Reynard hunted around until he found a Hare. and after a few remarks on the state of wheathT, tho scramble for oflice, the Whittaker investigation, and the Turkish question, he said: "1 was just thinking, as 1 overtook you what impudence some folks have." now 7" "Why. I met Miss Pullet a short time since, and she lioostcd of being able to outrun you." "The brassy creature!" exclaimed the Hare. Why, I can run as fast as she can fly!" "Certainly you can, but she's do ing you great injury among your friends by her stories. If I were you I'd see her and warn her that this thing must stop." "I'll do it ! 1 was built tor speed, and everybody knows it, and I won't have any Pullet boasting that she can outrun me. CVme along and show me where she is." Well, I'll go as a special favor to you. of course," humbly replied the Fox, "and show Miss t'uliet what the ioxes think of the Hares, I will let you take the lead and follow in your footsteps." As they ncarcd the coop the tiare be gan to arrange a little speech of greet ing, but he soon had other fish to fry. He walked into the trap with eyes wide open, and ere ho bad recovered from the shock the Fox had secured his dinner. "Say! say! I'm caught!" yelled the Hare, as be struggled with the trap. "So 1 observe," was the reply. "And what is your advice?" "To get away as shon as you can !" MORAL. Every neighborhood scandal has three lies to one truth. JNo person becomes a talc bearer except to forward some scheme of bis owYi. When a fox is anx ious to preserve the reputation of a hare, let tho hare look out. - HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Grease in Carpets. Grease on a curK:t, if not of long standing, can be readily disposed ot by washing the spot with hot soapsuds and borax half an ounce of borax to a gallon of water. Use a clean cloth to wash it with, rinse in warm water, and wipe dry. Clkantkg Ivory. Ivory that has liecn spotted, or has grown yellow, can be made as clear and lresh as new by rubbing with fine sand-paper, and then polishing with finely powdered pumice stone. To Kill Morns. A good way to kill moths in carpets is to take a coarse tow el and wring it out in clean water. Spread it out smoothly on the carpet, then iron it dry with a good, hot iron. repeating the operation on all suspected places, and those least used. It is not necessary to press hard, heat ami steam being the agents, and they do the work effectually on the worms and their eggs.
