ANOTHER CoNFLAGRATIoN. The section
of the Third District burnt out last Satur-
day was again visited last by a disastrous
fire. At twenty minutes past IL o'clock a
kitchen situated on Frenchman street, be-,
tween Urquahart aud Girod, Immediately
adjoining the corner Of The latter street,
took fire. The flames spread with great
rapidity towards Urquahart street, sweeping
down house after house. At the late hour
at which we left the scene Of disaster, eight
buildings had already burnt down, and it
was feared that the fire would not stop until
it would reach Urquahart street, on the

chimneys left standing by the Saturday

A New Boat FOR THE YAzoo TRADE
We find in the columns of the New Orleans
Delta, the following description Of the j. NJ
Sharp, the new Yazoo boat:
The ]. NJ. Sharp is plain, neat and SER
viceable looking boat; has large, wide decks
as a cotton boat ought to have, and is of
exceedingly light draught for her size,
drawing not 26 inches when light. Her
dimensions are 1856 feet on deck, 80 feet
beam, and feet hold She has two engines
of l6-inch cylinder and 9 feet stroke, and
three boilers, % feet long and 1S inches in
diameter. Her cost was 1000, and her
capacity is for 1900 bales of cotton. Not
the least attractive feature about the boat is
her neat and well-furnished cabin--a perfect
model, indeed, Of simplicity aud good taste
The Sharp is the successor of the old favorte
Louis Whiteman, and is to be commanded
by Capt j. w. White Capt. B. + Powell,
well known as the clerk of the Whiteman,
fills the same position aboard the new boat

THE SENATOR AND THE DRoMIos.

The senior Mr.. Gay, of the National
Hotel at Washington. bears quite like
ness TO General Cass and upon this the
correspondent Of the " Y. Times tell the
following story:
A stranger, who supposed he knew
mine host very well, put up at the Ma.
tional the other night. Since this house
has become the crack hotel at the capital,
it is quite full at this time. and the new
conner was necessarily, for the first night
sent TO the upper floor to sleep. Coming
down stairs the next morning. a little
cross, he met General Cass there. who
has fine suit of rooms in the hall, step
ped up to him, and in language more
forcible and rapid than elegant, said:
"I'll be id If I'll stand it. You've
put me at the top of the house. 1 must
have room somewhere lower down."
General Cass interposing and nervous
ly-"Sir. you are mistaken in the person
you are addressing. 1 am General Cass
of Michigan"
Stranger, (confusedly.) Beg your par.
don, General Cass-thought it was my
old friend Gay. Beg thousand pardons,
sir. All mistake, all mistake, as
sure you, sir.''
The General passed out of the build
ing, but soon returned, and as luck
would have il the stranger met him full
in the face again, but in another position.
This time he was sure he had mine host,
for the Senator from Michigan he knew
had just gone out. So the stranger step
ped boldly up, slapped the General
heartily and familiarly on the shoulder,
exclaimed:
"BY heavens, Gay, I've got rich sell

NO MORE PAIN!

The scientific writersssof England are
sounding a welcome to a new era-the
American discovery of Chloroform, a
harmless opiaie by which entire insensi-
bility can be produced during the periods

humanity. 1t is a recognised fact, by
Science, at the present moment, that

of setons, removal Of wtn and polypus,
cattiRgs about he eye. amputatisn Of limbs,

THE TALE OF MANY A HOME.
BY ELLA FARMAE-

The neighbors said our little Mary was one
OF those sweet innocents that early die -
She had that face celestial which betrays
child belonging in the far-oG sky.
They knew i: by the brooding light which slept
In her shy eyes, as in the eyes of birds;
And By the musing Of her tinted mouth,
And the wisdom Of her nsped words.
To Us she was our happy li.tle girl;
Ts us she was no angel in disguise;
And. as she sat between Us by the fire,
So dear. so fair, we said in this glad wise:
The lark that sings at sunrise in our house
Is she. the cherished rosebud Of our springs;
And she the snow-drop when ,he summers gone;
And she the snow bird that in winter sings.
But right we're they; one mocking, songful morn
We woke to find our happy seeming child
An angel was, with homeward yearning wing,
No longer by our cottage fire beguiled.
And the darkest parlor filed with flowers
or white and blush. by sad. small fingers given,
She lay in state, all lily crowned ard cold.
This fair young princess OF the House Of Heaven.
And here is all that we can touch or see
or those few years and that fair, little girl
The shoes in which she ran so daintily;
The locks of hair yet golden and a curl.
The children bring them oft-as children will
And sitting with us in the summer door,
In sight Of those white stones yonder hill,
They hear her sinless story o'er ard o'er.

CHARLES T. T0RREY.

The recent outrage consummated by
the Democratic Court and jury, at Cleve-
land. in conviciing free men of Ohio of a
prison offence, for the crime of aiding
men, convicted of no crime, to secure
their freedom, is an insult 10 the citizens
OF Ohio, and disgrace to humanity.
Words cannot suffice 10 paint the guilt
of thus debumanizing immortal beings,
not by Southern Slavery. but by Ameri
can Slavsry, sustained sanctioned and per-
petrated in the great free State of Ohio.
This last act of the tyrant Slavery
calls vividly to mind the excitement and
indignation of the people of the North on
the reception of the news of the death Of
the young. vigorous, talented and pious
7orrey, who suffered martyrdom at the
hands of slavery, and was murdered in
the penitentiary of Maryland for aiding
men. guilty of no crime, TO obtain that
freedom which had been wrested from
them. Citizens of the Ncrth then swore,
'6y Iorrey's DEATH" to ayenge his
blood on slavery.
Charles I. Torrey, the martyr, was
born Nov. 81. 1918. He entered Yale
College, at New Haven. CT, and gradu-
ated in 1888. Among the students at
Yale then were the late Alfred Perkins
of Warren, and President Hitchcock,
Professors Seymour. Emerson, and St.
John, and Bishop Kip.
TOrrey, after leaving college. studied
for the ministry, was ordained, and set
tied at Salem, Mass. Went to Wash
ington City, and was an able correspon-
dent of the Boston DaiIies. In 1842 he
went to Albany, and became the editor
of the Albany Patriot, where he contin-
ued until 1913.

Maryland. Petitions poured in to the
Governor to pardon the convict Torrey,

nerUs to besr up against the monarch of
Slavery. But the King of Kings signed
