Destructive Fire-Nntiondi Theatre and
Three Chwchts Dfstroyed.-On Monday
last, little after clock, a fire bsoke out
in the National Theatre Of this city, at the
corner Of church and Ieonard-streets, which
was almost Instantly enve!oped in flames.
The fire was speedily communicated 10 the
French Episcopal church adjoining the
Theatre, fronting on Church aud franklin
streets; to the Dutch Church on Franklin,
a few doors below Churchstreet; aud TO the
African Church. corner of Church and
Leonard-streets Opposite the Theatre. y
The roofs and interiors of all three we're
consumed. One dwelling house on
Church-street next to the Theatre, one on
Franklin next the Dutch Church, were
wholly destroyed, and several other build
ngs on Leonard aud Frankln-streets seri-
ously injured. The two front walls of the
Theatre and all the walls Of the Churches
are standing, and the fine organ of the
French Church was saved, but very little
else from the Theatre or either of the
Churches. The Theatre cost $50, 600, was
nearly new and had recently been repant-
eI and fitted up in the most splendid manner.
The building was insured for $50 800; Mr..
Waack's 5 loss is about $40 600, and he
has no insurance The French Church

| and tasteful ediices in the city. The Dutch

The Globe's Opinion. The Washing
ton Globe endeavors To show, that Mr..
Clay would be more formidable candidate
for the Wing party, than Gen. Harrison,
and in this, unwittingly betrays alarm, at
the prospect of Gen. Harrison's nomina-
ton. The Globe has not forgotten the hard
chase that the Harrison ticket gave Mr.
Van Burren in Pennsylvania in 1887.
Whether Clay OR Harrison be nominated,
the Wing ticket would undoubtedly prevail
in Ohio, New Jersey. and Indiana, but
should Harrison be our candidate, we shall
no, only be sure of those three States, but
in all probability of Pennsylvania likewise.

A PRACTIcAL lLLUsTRATIoN.-A cler-

the course of his sermon, expounding on
the miracles. No sooner had the service
ended than one of his congregation, a bluff
farmer approached him, and begged to
thank him for much he had learned in at
tending to his discourse; but hoped that his
reverence would pardon his asking for some
further elucidation of the meaning of IL mir
acle; nothing that he had then heard having
tended to enlighten his ignol ance of the ma
ture of such an occurrence. The divine
