In our issue Of Saturday we gave pretty full par.
ticulars of the calamit0us fire Of Friday night on
Tchoupitoulas street. and fall Of three story
warehouse in which iremen and laborers were at
work. We also gave partial list Of the killed and
wounded To-day we are enabled to give the re-
mainder Of the sad particulars.
THE SCENES OF SATURDAY. -z..a.m
Eight bodies were taken from the ruins soon
after the disaster Friday night, and taken to the
First District guardhouse. After the close of our
report on Saturday morning, the fremen continued
to work heroically and desperately amid the ruins
and the binding smoke, in search Of their still.
missing comrades. So great, however, was the
pile Of ruins, and so hopeless the prospect Of find
ing any more of the victims alive that they had to
cease this noble labor there being another and a
large fire up town.
THE MAYOR AND THE POLICE.
Chief of Police McCleland, Lieut.. Jaquess, and
numerous police officers, busted themselves to the
utmost during the fire, and did praiseworthy work
When the crash took place, Lieut. Jaquess was
struck by brick, and officer Mcmahon hurt, but
not seriously. Before daylight, Mayor Monroe was
informed of the disaster and Of the dead beneath
the ruins. He at once directed the officers to hire
gang Of laborers TO proceed with the removal ol
the ruins without delay. Sergcants Reed and vii
liams at once hired gang off the leYee, and put
them to work. The officers enclosed the scene o.
ruin with boards and ropes, to keep of the excitet
multitude, and spurred up the laborers with al
energy which won them high credit. The worl
sped, aud soon after daylight another body wa
found; then another, and another; and at last, a
about l0o'cock, the threelast bodies were found

As TO THOSE STILL MISSING.

Workmen were still engaged at the ruins yester
day, but found no more bodies. Numerous per,
sons, supposed to have disappeared at the fire,
and their names published in other papers, have
turned up all right, having only disappeared during
Friday night at less dangerous places, best known
to themselves. It is supposed by some that there
are still more bodies beneath the ruins. We hope
this supposition will not be verified.

ArrHE RUINS AND THE LOOKUP.

Its needless to state that great and most ex
cited multitude collected around the ruins to watch
the digging, as well as at the lookup, where the
recovered bodies were exposed for Identification
and the Coroner's inspection. There were many
touching and distressing scenes at this latter place.
A father recognized a mangled body as that Of his
SON; the crushed body Of another youth was iden-
tilted by his mother one mans corpse was select,
ed from the ghastly array by his brother; Others
recognized by their relatives and friends; il
was in truth, the most sad and distressing scene
we ever witnessed in this city. The crowds ofpeo
pie kept coming and going all day.

RESPECT TO TIE DEAD.

The flags of the City Hall and the engine-hous
foated at half-mast all day Saturday. Even the
prevailing gloom quieted the noisy turmoil of poll
tics. The Bell and Everett Clubs did not turn out
in procession at night, as they had expected to
do; the Douglas party postponed the mass meet
ing which they were to hold in Clay Square.
Phoenix Fire Company No. s published post
ponement of their annual excursion and dinner,
which was to have taken place yesterday. The
unexpected and appalling nature of the catastro-
phe which killed so many of the very flower Of
this city's youth, and the wide acquaintance and
popularity of some of the dead, was the topic
everywhere aud whilst sorrow and grief eneom-
passed many vacant chair at the home fresde,
the shadow af an allpreyaling sadness was per-
ceptible throughout the city at large.

SEARCH AFTER A LOST INVENTION
A most interesting search, says the London
Court journal, is about to take place, that
will draw all lovers of invention to the
tombs of the Beaufort family. 1t seems
that the first Earl of Worcester, of the day
of Henry VII, invented an engine the or
iginal model of which has never, up to the
present moment, been discovered. Through
the deepest researches Mr.. Woodcroft OBJ
tanned undeniable proof that the Earl of
Worcester desired in his will that this
model should be inferred with him, and
actually in his coffin. Therefore, Mr..
Woodcroft's next step was to obtain per-
mission to have the coffin opened but be-
fore that could be done, the whereabouts
had to be discovered, and no one knew
anything about it.
1t was not till recently that, coming
across an old manuscript, he found an
allusion made to the coffin of Charles
Somerset, first Earl of Worcester, and
that it was buried in a vault which had
fallen in, and, as the writer observed, was
never likely to be beheld by mortal eyes
again. The manuscript is upwards of one
hundred and fifty years old; it, therefore
may be imagined that to find the spo
where the Earl is buried was Difficult
enough that, however, has been accom-
plished, and Mr.. Woodcroft, having OBJ
tanned the Duke of Beaufort's permission
to open the coffin, is only waiting the nee
essary permission of the bishop to do SO
The Duchess has signifed her desire to b
present.

"She works for a Living"

Commend US the girl of whom it is sneer-
ingly said, "she works for living - in
her We are always sure to find the elem
ents of true woman--a real lady-True,

see neat dress, mild brow and to witness

You who are looking for wives and COM

sellor, and not simpleton. You may not
be able to carry piano into your house,
but you can buy spinning wheel or sett

chase every new novel you may be able to
take some valuable paper. Ifyou cannot
buy ticket to the ball,you can visit some
afflicted neighbor. BE careful then when
you look for compaions and when you
choose. We know many a foolish man,
who, instead of choosing an industrious
and prudent woman for wife, took one
from the fashionable stock, and is now la
menting his folly in dust and ashes. He
ran into the fire with his eyes wide open
and who but himselfis to blame
The time was when the ladies went {

ICE-W r Eek E D.
FROM BLACKwooD's MAGAZINE.

We had hardly crossed the Atlantic and
were beginning to look eagerly for our first
sight OF the New World, when a sudden
change occurred in the temperature, and
the balmy days of April were followed by
May cold and cutting almost as winter.
At length we entered the broad estuary of
the st. Lawrence, and then the mystery
was solved, for its entire surface was
checkered with masses Of ice (; evidently
the broken up winter covering of the river
above being swept by the current out to
sca. Nothing could exceed the beauty of
the ice.fcds as they flashed and sparkled
like gigantic gems in their setting of azure
sea Many were of great size also, like
floating islands, and the heaped up blocks
upon their surface cleaned from distance
like cities of dazzling crystal.
The wind was in our favor, and our good
ship sped up the gulf, threading her way
through the channels of the floating ice
fields, whilc, hour after hour, her passen'
gers stood watching with unwearied eyes
the splendid scene around them. Even
when night came, there was the same eager
throng of gazers, for those large frozen
plains glittering in the moonlight with {
strange spectral beauty none of us hae
e5er seen before.
After time, mass of ice huger THAI

Subsequently, we learned that it was par

came, cleaning palely against the dee
blue sky like castle of spotless marble
rising in tower and turret, and massiv
buttress, and enriched by the most delicat
tracery. Every eye was fixed upon it i
breathloss admiration, as it swept majesti
cally by; until, as it passed between U
and the wind by its loftincss it momentaril
becalmcd us. Suddenly the statonar
ship received q severe shock, which NJ
only vibrated through all her tilnbers, b'
through every one of the hundred an
forty human beings who formed her livir
freight, Never shall forget the shriel
of terror that followed, as women well-nig
frantic with fear claspcd their childrC
to their bosoms, believing that the ship ha
struck upon rock, and that their la
moment had como. A cry from the boz
that it was but blow from the ice, som
what relieved their fears, and they atoc
quietly by, while the helm was put dow
and the sails drawn round, in the effort
free us from the huge mass of ice whit
still lay across the vessels bows pressil
and grating aubibly against her timbe
A minute more, and above the din
blocks and cordage, and the stamping
mems feet, there arose a wild cry that &c
oed far and wide over the surroundi
fields of ice, and through every Granny

1t was an appalling announcement; a
Unfortunately it was true one. The
had struck us heavier than we thought, a
