destroyed: Bristol, Wilsher & Co S liquor store,
Ross h Davis liquor store, Robert Galty's
bakery, and the pork houses of George A.

DEATH OF TRIsTRAM BURGEs-Our Northern
exchanges contain lengthy notices of the death
of Hon. Trstram Burgess, who died at Proyi
dence, r. l., a few days since 1t has been
some eighteen years since his retirement from
public life, in which as member of the House
OF Representatives of the United States, he
acted quite conspicuous part. Mr. Burges
was, says the Providence Journal, born on the
Goth of February, ITO In 1896 he graduated
at Brown University with the first honors of
the class He studied law with Judge Barnes,
and was admitted to the bar in 1899 In 1901
he married the daughter of Welcome Arnold
then one of the most distinguished merchants of
Providence. They had seven children, of whom
only one now survives. In 1871 he was elected
member of the General Assembly from the
town of Providence; in 1872 he was chosen
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, which
station, however, he retained but year. Soon
after he was appointed Professor of 0ratory and
Belles-Lettres in Brown University In 1925 he
became a member of the House of Representa-
tiyes OF the United States, where his first speech
established his reputation as an orator and
statesman, and placed him in the foremost rank
of the public men of the day.
No man, adds the Journal, ever represented
New England with more fidelity than Mr. Bur-
ges. Although he always adhered to the prin-
eiples which unite the North and the South
under the constitution, he never permitted his
own consistency to be alluded TO with disrespect
without merited rebuke. No person familiar
with the history of his life can fail to recolleet
his eloquent and successful appeal in favor of
the survivors of the revolution, and at all times
and on all occasions he was ready to defend the |
interests of his constituents
As an orator, Mr.. Burgess was one of the
reatest our country has produced His mind
Tas early familiarized with the best models,
nd he thoroughly trained himself to the art
hieh made him most known by the people. AT

Loss OF THE GOLDEN ERA--The St Louis
Republican of the 18th learns from the officers
OF the Ben Campbell, that the steamer Golden
Era sunk on the morning of the 18th, at ANA
ranth Island, upper Mississippi, and had broken
IN two, amidships, or had the appearance of be-
ing thus broken. Her bow and stern we're both
several feet out of water, while the water was
three to four feet deep amidships. Messrs Eads
Nelson have started a diving bell boat up to
the wreck to raise her if possible If there is
any possibility of her being raised, those who
have charge of the job will do it. We have
learned that Captain Bersie owned one half of
the boat, land was net insured for dollar. Messrs.
Carter Co. owned seven-sixteenths and were
insured in the Phoenix Office for $4,000 Capt
Dawley, who was in command at the time, own
ed one sixteenth, and was insured in the same
office for 81 900, making SO, 900 in all.

| The TINES CORRESPONDENT. The Paris cor
| respondent of the New York Times gives the
following description of the comfort and dignity
attached to the position of correspondent to the
London Times:
Next to the berth of British ambassador at
PARIS, / suppose that the post of correspondent
70 the London Times is most to be desired Let
me rehearse few of the immunities and nri
vileges of that individual His salary is rs 200
year. He has handsome suite of rooms
furnished and paid for by the paper He has
two clerks constantly in his employ, who read
the French journals, translate, collate cut out
items from GdHgnaai, and add their ewes, in
yention, experience and observation to his
These gentlemen are paid by the Times, of
course. The correspondent buys and charges
to the paper any books Of which he may stand
in need-and the library is a very choice and
complete collection of standard authors, cyclo-
pedias, dictionaries and other books Of refer
ence. He is empowered to pay for any impor-
tant intelligence, just what it may cost.
|, When the post-oftice closes early, to the in
finite annoyance of all us correspondents of
low degree, he writes on merrily till sunset, and
then hires a man to jump in the seven
o'clock train and take his letter To London
The Times pays the bill. Besides all this. his
position is such that great many things come
to him, without his giving himself the trouble
to 60 to them. Thus, proclamation of Henry
V, desires to see the light, NJ. Berger sends il
to the correspondent of the London Times, who
gives it to one of his clerks to translate, All
the other correspondents, when they see it in
PRINT, throw up their hands, and wonder how
the man knew there was such proclamation
in existence, and where he went to get it. In
short, it is great thing to represent the Lon.
don Times in Paris. To be able to say you are
the Russian ambassador, is one thing to be
forced to confess you are the Envoy from Ven
ezusla, is another To stand up and say YOU
are the correspondent of the Times, is to locate
yourself between the two, and rather nearer
the top than the foot of the column

SELF-SALE OF A NEGRO INTO SLAvERY.-A
strange case has lately come before the Mayors

witness in a larceny case, stated that he " as

Mayor stated in strong terms his conviction that
the whole proceeding was illegal, and that the
State had claims for forfeiture which could be
enforced in spite of the negro's self-sale; but
for the purpose of bringing the novel question
before higher court, he had the man held to A
