have less faith in the specific, may per

climate rather than to honey. The Italian

honey; but their practice is to sharpen il

sometimes take il in pure state.

Great Fire in Philadelphia.

On the 9th inst, Philadelphia was visited by
the most extensive conAagration that ever oc-
CURED in that city. Moro than 800 buildings
were destroyed, occupying about four squares,
and embraced within the boundaries OF the
Delaware river, cast the east side of Second ST.,
west, the north side of Caldwell ST., north, and
the south side of New st. south, including Del
aware avenue, Water, Front, Vine, and New
Market sts., with the intermediate small streets
and alleys. The locality was one Of the most
denscly populated in the city, and a large mum !
Der of the residents being poor people, the a.
mount of suffering is immense. Tho houses
generally were among the Oldest in Philadel-
phia; yet there were many valuable business
stands, and some of the finest Of our antiquated
Quaker mansions.
The FIRE broke out at o'clock, P. NJ, and
was not subdued till late at night. There were
several terrific explosions, caused By deposits Of
salt petrc in the burning buildings, and by this
means from 20 TO 80 lives were destroyed and
100 persons wounded, some of the latter dam
gerously. Thcre were many hair-breadth es-
capes, and many instances of terrible suffering.
The amount of property destroyed is estimated
at 81 ZOO, 900. The City Council appropriated
$4,000 fog the relief Of the sufierers, E [

states-aged sixty-six." Tho cofiinis magni-
6ccnt onc-it was covered with black velvet, the
oioes being of silver, with huge silver tassols
looi,od up with gold fringed buttons. The coun-
tena.icc Of the disccased is unchanged, though
much emaciated. Mrs. Taylor would not con-
sent to embalming the body. BY request OF the
family. PRAYERS were held over the remains this
morning. when none but the immediate reia-
tivcs Of the diseased werc present. .....
The coffin rested on raised platform, in the
center of the East Room, envelopcd with black
crane. AS soon "a all assembled, tho Rev.
Smith Pyne, ID. D., Of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, performed the solemn burial service,
during which many an eye was moist, and many
n sob heard. An eloquent discourse was then
delivered by the Reverend gentleman, within
hearing Of the family Of the deceased. The cof-
fin was then removed-carried out OF the house,
and placed upon the funeral car. Near the car
was the favorite war horse of the departed chief
tain, Old Whitley" appointed to follow the
car to the place Of intermcnt. The funeral car
was plain hearse, under raised canopy, beau
tifully trimmed--the American Eagle being re-
presented in the centre. 1t was drawn by eight
white horses, with black housings.
The procession moved at o'clock, p. NJ,
amid the firing Of minute guns. The pail bear
ers were Mcssrs. Clay, Cass Bcrrien, Winthrop,
Benton, Webster, and Ia others. Tho troops
were under the command of General Scott
The brilliant uniforms, mufflcd drums, and badg-
Is of mourning were very imposing. The pro-
cession was one and half miles long. Flowers
were strewn along Pcnnsylvania Avenue for
several hundred yards, leading from the White
House. The civic procession has been cstima-
ted at 10000, tho military at 900, besides six
companies Of artillery. There were nineteen
bands Of music, comprising some hundreds OF
instruments. The effect along the Avenue,
clothed as it is with sablcs, and densely crowd
cd, was very imposing.
Signor Fagnane, an Italian artist, yesterday
took sketches Of the head and face Of General
Taylor, before he was placed in the coffin. No
cast was takcn--the family of tho President
being unwilling that the skin should be disfg-
ured. Although much cmaciated, the face Of
deceased preserves much of the appearance it
wore when living General Scott, when he ar
rived in the East Room, wopt over the body OF
his distinguished companion in arms. On ar
irving in front of the Congressional burying
ground tho military escort was formed in two
lincs-thc first, consisting Of the detachment ap-
pointed TO fire the last volloy, facing the cene-
tory, and thirty PAGES fromit. The second line,
consisting of the remainder of the infantry in
escort, twenty PAGES in the rear. Tho battery
of artillery took position on the rising ground,
about one hundred PAGES in the rear Of the Sec
ond line. The burying ground was occupied at
an carly hour this morning by thousands OF peo-
plo anxious to secure places for obtaining
good view Of the intermcnt.

Death and Burial Of President Taylor.

Tho correspondent of the Philadelphia North
American says:
The President was sensible of his critical con-
diton in the morning, and when he was spoken
to on the subject, he said he was prepared to
die, if it was the will of God, as he had nothing
to reproach his conscience with in the discharge
Of public or private obligations. Ho did not
doubt that he might have erred, but he felt that
he had not done so Intentionally.
Throughout the day, whenever ho was awake,
he was composed and perfectly resigned to the
result, which he foresaw was inevitable; and
while he avowod that it was painful to be sepa-
rated from family and friends, he at the same
timo expressed his entire rediness to obey the
dccrecs of Providence. His dying hours exhi-
bited the same calm composure which he had
evinced during the perils of the battlefield, and
impressed those who woro near him with for
cible conviction of his eminent merits as a hero
and Christian. OD
The last words he uttered were-"I have al
ways done my duty-I am ready to die. My
only regret is for tho friends leave behind me-"
This he uttered with great distinctness.
The death was announced in both Houses Of
Congress ON Wednesday, when eulogies were
pronounced in tho Senate by Mr.. Downs OF
louisiana, Webster, and Pearcc of Maryland,
and in the House by Conrud Of Louisiana, Win
throp, Baker of Ill, Bayly of Va, and others.
The funeral took place on Saturday. The
circumstances arc thus given in telcgraphic
dispatch
The Presidents house, the various depart
ments and other buildings, were dressed in
black. In Pennsylvania Avenue, and many of
| the other streets, the same sad insignia were
displayed. The cars from Baltimore, and the
various steamboats, and other public convoyan-
ces came crowded with people, anxious to pay
the last tribute 10 the departed Chief. The
troops were formed at IL O'clock Senators
were in attendance by half past 10 o'clock
The usual badges of mourning wcrc distributed
by the proper officers, and at III o'clock, the
Rev. Mr.. Butler delivered an impressive prayer.
Tho Senators then withdrew, to repair to the
| President mansion, from whence the grand ci-
vii and military procession was 10 move.
After the funeral obsequios were performed,
the Senators returned TO the Senate chamber,
and adjourned. Similar proceedings were held
| in the House. The doors of the Executive man
sion were opened at o'clock A. NJ, for the ad-
mission of the Heads of Departments, the For
| eign Ministers, and others. Tho crowd COM
| pletely filed up every avenue leading to the
mansion. The members of the Cabinet, the
Diplomatic Corps. the pail bearers, and those Of
the two houses of Congress who could be adj
mitted, occupied the East Room. Col. Bliss,
Col. Taylor Of Baltimore, and other relatives Of
the late President, occupied positions near the
romans. The Foreign Ministers all appeared
in full court costume. ., ..,.,'r y. q, Z

President Fillmore.

Millard Fillmore took the oath Of Office as
President of the United States before both
Houses of Congress on the day following the
death of Gen. Taylor. Ho made no commu-
nication of his views and plans in relation to
the questions now pending before tho country.
1t is probable that he will do so before long.
Mr.. Fillmore, says The Tribune, was born at
Summer Hill, Cayuga Co. New-York, on Jan.
Z, 1850, and is accordingly now a little over 90
years old. His father was a farmer in very
limited circums mstances. The family removed to
Aurora, Eric Co. in 1910, where the father still
carries on farm of moderate dimensions; the
writer hereof has often passed the modest house
where reside the family of tho President, in
style not moro pretending than is common to
thriving farmers Of that prosperous district
The narrow means of the father did not per-
NIT the bcstowal on the son OF any other than
n most limited common school cducation.--
When 10 years old he was set to learn the trade
of clothicr at which he worked for four years,
improving all his spare time IN reading books
from q little library in tho village where he
lived. At the age Of 10 he made the acquaint-
ancc of Judge Wood of Cayuga County, who
detected the latent talents of the young man,
and induced him TO study law, for which he
generously furnished tho means. Mr.. Fillmore
remained in Judge Woods office above two
years, studying with that industry and perse-
veranco which have distinguished him through
life during this time he also taught school in
the Winter months, in order himself to provide
for his expenses as far as possible. In 1922
he entered law office at Buffalo and passed
year studying and teaching, when he was ad-
mitted to the bar and removed to Aurora TO
commence the practice Of his profession. In
1926 ho married Abigail, the daughter OF Rev.
Lemuel Powers she will no doubt hereafter
preside at the White House. Several years
were now mainly employed by Mr.. Fillmore in
diligcnt judicial studies, and in tho limited legal
practice of country town. In 1929 he was
elected to the Assembly of Ncw-York and for
three years during which time he removed his
residence to Buffalo) held seat in that body.
lie took prominent and influential part in the
enactment Of tho law abolishing imprisonment
for debt. In 1882 he was elected TO the XAllld
Congress. In the Fall of 1886 he was again
returned for the same Office and acted as q
Member of the Committee on Elections IN the
famous New-Jersey Broad-Seal case. lie
was reelected to the next Congress, and now
assumed tho responsible position of Chairman
of the Committee of Ways and Means. In
1874 he was run by the Whigs of Ncw-York
for Governor, and was beaten by Silas Wright.
In lS47 he was elected Controller Of the State,
and removed to Albany TO discharge the duties
of that Office, which he held till February,
$780, when he resigned it, prior to his induc-
ton into the Vice Presidency, TO which post he
had been elevated by the Presidential election
of 1913.
