warehouses adjoining each other, on the
west side of Main street, between O'FaIlon
and Ashley streets, st. Louis. One Of the
warehouses was a one.ond- a.half story
brick building and the other two story
brick. Both buildings were filled to their
utmost capacity with hemp, not less than ten
thousand bales being stored in the two
building. Both buildings were destroyed,
and the entire stock Of hemp, the value oI
which is estimated at something over
$350,000, was almost totally destroyed.
The principal losers by the fire were
Messrs. Ben w, Lewis s Bros, of Glasgow

seven hundred bales Of hemp. Their loss
is estimated at over $4,000, which wa,
partly covered by insurance. Messrs. Carr

A SONORA STORY.

The following rich story is related by

an opportunity of viewing the most stupen-

Old Lady-You don't say! Have you
any elephants9
Ball-We have, madam, six elephants;
but these constitute comparatively unim-

specimens of quadrupeds, who roamed over
the earth not only in the antediluvian, but
also in the priooene and postmiocene period, +,
embracing the megatherium with six legs
and two tails; the ichthyosaurus, with four
eyes and three tails; the gyastucus, with no
eyes, two noses and four tails; the plesiosau-
rus, resembling Satan in shape, which spits
fire and breathes sulphur, and many other
species too numerous for enumeration.
We also have pious lawyer.

Artemus Ward on Reorganization.

Aremus Ward, in recent letter, thus
gives an idea of reorganization:

again. I'd bin 10 public dinner, and had
allowed myself into drinkin' several peo-
pies health; and wishing to make 'em as
robust as possible, l continued drinkin'
their health until my own became affected.

Extraordinary Murder Trial.

A new era has dawned, and indignation
rules at Salisbury, N. C. 1t seems that
some six weeks since Miss Temperance
Nicely, daughter Of an old and prominent
citizen, shot and killed Galina, one of the
lamily's female servants. Mrs. Neely was
hogging Galna's child; when the duNy
mother came TO the rescue Miss Tempe
shot her dead. There were no witnesses
to the act except negroes, and under the
old system Of affairs the case could not even
have been brought TO trial, as both the
mother and daughter would have been
jointly indicted, and then no evidence could
have been obtained 10 convict of any crime,
the testimony of blacks being worthless
against whites. But Gen. Schofeld ordered
he young woman to be tried by a military
ission, which has just closed its
session with verdict of guilty.
1t appeared in evidence that Galina wa:
raised on the place, and had been favorte
household servant; that she was twenty
four years old, the mother of six children
and never married, even according to slave
holding customs; that she lnterceded to save
her child, pushed Mrs. Nicely away, seizet
it in her arms, and was making off for hel
cabin when shot. Mrs. Nicely, on thu
stand, disolaime ed any idea of persona
danger, and only pleaded her daughter
horror at the act, and subsequent efforts t
ameliorate the condition of things.
Except in the plea to the jurisdiction O
the Court, and the objections made to til
introduction of negro testimony, the counse
for the defence did not allude to the change
condition Of affairs in the State which tn
case indicated, only as the act Of Galiua-
one from whom the accused had been taugl
to expect servile obedience-in laying vic
lent hands upon her mother, was urged i
mitigation Of the offence.
