Tempe, on Front street, west of Warren, In
Davenport, was discovered on fire. The
flames spread to the large ice house on the

upon it, and the surrounding property, which

Calvin as a Husband and a Father.

OF Calvin's married life we know little.
His wife, Julette De Bures, was, according
to Beza, "a worthy, noble, well-read person,
n fit companion for the refoTmer midst the
stormy period in which he lived" The no
tices which he left of her are always pleas
ing He calls her. Singular and exempt
toomina. Soon after the death Of his infant
son, the only child he ever had, he writes to
Firet:: Greet all the brethren, and also
your aunt and wife, to whom my wife sends
her beet thanks for the friendly and holy
consolation which they have rendered her.
She could only write by means Of another,
and even to dictate a letter would be painful
to her. The Lord has inflicted a gricvous
wound upon US by the loss Of our little son,
and we feel it bitterly. But He is Father
and knows what Is necessary for his chill
dren." This happy union lasted for nine
years. She died in I549. Then he unbos-
omed his heart to Yiret in long epistle, in
which he gives an account of her triumph
ant death. His agony for a time was almost
lnsuppOrtable Even after seven years had
gone by, he recurs to her death with deepest
emotion. This childless widowed man,
ceased to look to the world for consolation.
He looked forward with hope to the better
world, and anticipated q reunion there with
the loved and lost.

TENNESSEE IN lS64-Tennessee was adj
mitted to the Union in 1896 At the time
of holdingt the Baltimore convention in 1864,
says the Lacrosse Democrat, it was con-
tended by a few radical abolitionists who
were members of that {" loyal" assemblage
that Tennessee had no claims in the Union
which republicans were bound to respect.
The majority of that convention decided the
State was in the Union and evinced the sin
cerity of their decision by nominating An
drew Johnson, as q candidate for Vice Pres
ident In view of that decision he was
elected. On platform that declared state
had no power or right to secede, the 39th
Congress was elected. Now that same
Congress declares Tennessee out Of the
Union-denounces the President for main
tanning the principles upon which he was
nominated rs well as elected, and talks of
impeaching him for so doing A fair speci-
men of Republican consistency.

The Prisoners at the Dry T0rtugas-A
letter received from the. Dry Tortugas, on
the Florida coast, dated the 25th Of last
month, states that Edward SpangIer and Ar
mold and O'Laughlin have been all that could
be desired as regards correct department
since their incarceration. ASpangIer has earn
estly and industriouly labored in the car
penter shop, has never been subject to rep
rimand in any shape; and, though once or
twice indisposed and under treatment in the
hospital, has in each instance returned to
duty before required by regular discharge.
He is well, and manifests a desire to serve
out his sentence with patience. They are
all well cared for, and are represented to be
more comfortable and enjoying better health,
probably, than if confined in an ordinary

State prisoners, four in number, solely on
account of the attempt made by Niudd to
escape. The irons have now been removed

The Siamese TOiRs Outdone.-Two negro
children are now on exhibition at Raleigh,
North Carolina, that excite much curiosity.
They are fourteen years of age and were
born of slave parents in Arson county. The
Standard speaks of them as follows
q The connection between these girls is
closer than in the Samese twins, there be-
ing more of the physical and mental organs
common to each. The connection begins
below the neck and terminates at the exs
tremity of the spine. To touch one at any,
point of her body below the connection sends
a sensation to the brain of each while
touch Of either above the connection is felt
by that one only. They can talk to differ
ent persons at the same time on entirely
different Subjects and one can engage in a
game of whist while the other reads or
