flag staff, surmounted by heavy gilt ball aud the fig

ence of nigh wind, large crowd was gathered in
front of the building, lookiDga the swayng Of thepoe
and expecting everr moment to see it blown down.
But they were disappointed. Yesterday, however, the
pole did come down, but in such manner as not to en-
danger the lives of passers by 1t made perpendcu-
lar descent through the six foorngs and ceilings ofthe
building, stopping only at the ground floor. 1t is
really fortunate that it down as it did, for it
would otherwise have fallen in some gale, and, per-

The Fate Of Fast Men.

The vicious die early. They fall like
shadows or tumble like wrecks and ruins in
the grave-often while young, almost be-
fore forty. The wicked 'iveth not half
his days" The world ratifes the truth,
and assigns the reason, by describing the
dssolute or fast men, that is they live
fast they spend their twelve hours in six,
getting through the whole before the me-
ridian, and dropping out of sight and into
darkness while others are in the glory OF
life Their sun goes down while it is yet
day And they might have helped it,
Many a one dies long before he need. Your
men of genius, like Burns and Byron, to
whom when dssipated and proaigate, thir
ty-seven is SO fatal and your obscure aud
nameless wondering stars, who waste their
youth in libertine indulgeuce-they cannot
live long. They must die early, They put
on the steam till they blow up the boiler.
They run at such q rate that the fire goes
out for the want of fuel! The machinery
is destroyed by rapid speed and reckless
wear. Nothing eau save them. Their ply
sieal system cannot stand the strain they

Buried CITY and ats Treasures.

The New Granada grave excitement
having pretty well died out, the restless
treasure seekers have taken it into their
heads that the old city of Port Royal,
which was swallowed up by an earthquake
in 1892, and over which now dash the wa
ters of the Bay of Kingston, Jamaica, if
its deluged secrets were explored, would
pay the risk aud trouble and expense
with untold gold. Such an expedition is
projected and with marine armor, it is in
the range of modern possibilities that ie
will result in something practical. When
the city was sunken it was large, and popdi
lous, we'll built, and wealthy, and when the
earth opened aud the waves engulfed
it, it became the coffin of thousands, and
its ruins, yet to be seen ina clear, sunny
day, as the vessel glides over the smooth
waters of the bay and over the house tops
and streets of the once gay metropolis Of
the island, many of its rtiins having yet re.
sisted the action of Its waves and wear Of
time, there can be no doubt that great
wealth lies buried, and is probably accessi-
