ALI ABOUT HER"
Yes, she was lovely, she was fair,
As mild as Summer eve;
An angel form, spirit bright,
A star that dropped from Heaven.
(Well she was.)
And o, those bright and lus,rous orbs,
That beamed with holy fire;
Those auburn curs, that lovely brow,
None, none but could admire.
(Well they couldn't)
And o. that light and graceful form,
So like beauteous fairy
perhaps we'd better leave out the SIS"
And then II would be aIry)
(Well il would.)
knelt before her, and swore
I'd have one burning kiss,
She said-"Go wash your face
You can enjoy such bliss !"
(Well she did,
swore she was an angel, too,
Who'd fallen from the sky;
She cried-''O for a pair Of wings
Once more TO soar on high"
Qndeed she did,
"What, what" cried, ''and would you thus
A lover true desert"
"Oh, heavensl" she cried, ''the clothes lines
broke,
There goes my brothers shirt"
(Well she dld--hoss.)
The above was cut from an exchange pa

with the following-"so he did"

From Chimborazo's summit,

Mere beauty couldn't come it,"
(No sir-ee.)
And did quickly snatch my hat
Without a thought Of kissing2
And did ever after that,
''Come up among the missing"

Loss OF THE GEN. TAYLOR.
The following, from our correspondent, furnishes
some interesting news from Pensacola:

Pensacola, October l2, 1886
GENTLEMEN: On Saturday night, the 10th inst.
between and O'Clock, the United States steamer
General Taylor took fire soi.gside the wharf of ths
yard, and in Short time burnt to the watsr,s edee.
Great exertions were made by the officers and ma
chancs of the yard to save the boat About 400
men, with three engines, and abundance Of hose,
were kept at work for about an hour ard half,
but all to no purpose The flames pre- vailed and
the boat is considered total loss. Her engine
may. be Of some value, but must be much damaged
by the fire.
There are many conjectures ms to how the fire
occurred Most people believe it was the work of
an ncendiary, as Mr., Alexander, ono Of the engin-
GERS, on this occasion took unusual care to nut out
all the fires, the next day being Sunday, hon no
uss was to be made Of ths boat. The loss 10 our
"Uncle" will be from twelve to fifteen thousand
dollars. and, as the saving is, 'no insurance.

COL. WILLIAM r. KING.

Among the passengers on board the Great Britain,
at the time she was wrecked was our distinguished
countryman, Col. William r. King, on his return
from his mission to France from which court he has
been recalled at his own request. He took final
leave Of his Majesty, the King Of the French, on
the 18th ultimo and we learn from various sources
that his departure elected expressions Of the warm
est regret He left Paris on the day following, and
embarked at Liverpool in the Great Britain, whose
safety has been the source Of such deep anxiety.

nate detention they viii be reoced to lcarn that he

store, occupied by the Messrs D, 4 ID. c. Holcombs
which was one of the block OF buildings known as the
Whites Block. In a few moments our citizens were

the smoke and the roaring Of the flames, near ihem.
Nj Is. Holcomb who awoke first rushed through the
hames and gained the street, without saving article
Of clothing and with The conviction that his partners
would perish in the flames One Of them attempted
TO follow him but driven back by the flames
when running to the door Tor the purpose OF throwing
himself out, he discovered The tackle rope and lei him

ed his example, and aghted on the ground with the
flesh torn from his hands and somewhat burned. So
pTecpitate their retreat that article Of
clothing saved and some ttgelue thousand dollars
in cash. which had been taken from the Bank the eve
ming previous, which remained in the counling-room
below, and with which one Of the firm expecting
10 start for Boston on the morning Of the calamity
was consumed.
In short time the walls of the store fell upon the

The buildings burned belonged to w. II. White,

about $4,000: He lost much other property.
The loss Of the Hocomb's is estimated al S35, 600,

The loss Of P. c. Tucker ESQ.,, from It's nature can
