LITERARY NOTES.

The Paris correspondent OF the Nation tells
the following story Of the editor of the Reoue
deS DeuG MOndes:-
All who can afford to do so are buying bits of
ground outside the city walls of the new city in
which they now find themselves living, and are
building tEereupon some sort OF rural habita-
ton, ,emore or less pretentous, according to their
means. Among Others thus anxious to secure
quiet retreat from the dust and RACKET of the
capital, is NJ. Buloz, the able original who has
long held the post of chief editor in the we'll
known HeUue des DeuT MOndes.
This gentleman lately employed man of the
law, resident in the neighborhood Of Paris, to
negotiate for him the purchase of an estate
contiguous to one possess ed by the latter. The
title-deedI of the estate was drawn up accord
ingly, and brought by the notary in question to
NJ. BuloZ for signature, "What it the meaning

Gentlemen This once beautiful city has been
the scene of the most terrible confagrs-
ton ever known in the history of fires on
this continent. Fifteen hundred buildings were
destroyed, covering an area of more than two
hundred acres, reaching a mile and one half In
length, by an average OF half mile in width The
building In which we had the office of the Portland
Mutual Fire Insurance Company was entirely con.
sumed. We had a large number of books and papers:
these, with other valuables, were AL locked up i'm
one OF your large size "FIre-Proof Safes" We dug
1t out OF the ruins on Saturday where it remained
three days and half Alter cutting it open to our
great surprise and qualification, the contents were
preserved in excellent conditions the covers of tba
books were drawn by the steam of the ire.proof
composition. Every line and word in our books and
papers perfectly egible at OF our BOOKS or
a paper shows the marks of fire. When we take into
consideration the magnitude OF this fire. the ter
rifle heat to which your safe subjected no water
having been thrown the ruins or on the fire
proves your safe to be perfectly fire.proof The
ordeal through which safes have passed in this
severe test, many having been completely burned
up, warrant us in saying that too much praise can.

on the afternoon of that day by the breaking out Oh
the largest 2re that ever took place in this country
destroying half of the business portion of tue CITY
with numerous dwellings Our store, which was in
a three.story brick building was completely swept
away by the devourIng flames We were carrying
on the jewelry business. We had one of your large
size Champion safes In use, which contained our
valuable iewery and Watches also our books papers
and some money, which were preserved IN good
condition. The covers of The books and some of
the watches and jewelry are discolored by tho
steam from the fre-proof composition; not a leaf
flour principal books injured, not a word is
erased from our books papers, every line and tOord
perfectly tegibie; our jewelry and watches can be
cleaned. We were unable to remove this Safe and
open 1t until tuesday, the 10th, period of more
than .fVe days after the fire. The heat around IL
was OF tho most intense character as its exterior
distinctly shows, the iron being badly warped and
sprung. The bra s knobs and ornamental plates on
the doors were entirely melted of. The heat closely
Tesembled that of a furnace, for the iron was at a
'ohite heat We would ada, that Safe which viii
preserve its contents in such fire proves it's supe-
riorIty, and is thoroughly Fire proof.
