brick stores then spread to the corner of
Mulberry and Crawford streets, ten houses,
besides shanties ETC.. in all about one
hundred buildings, of which thirty-eight
were large brick stores.
Two white children and four negroes
persisted in the flames; six negroes were
killed by accident and one hundred fami-
lies are homeless.
The origin Of the fire was the result of
carelessness in a Meyes' building.
The streets are crowded with goods and
debris. The greatest credit is due Gener-
ais Wood and Dudley and their men, for
superhuman efforts to subdue the flames
and prevent pillage.
Five or six buildings were blown up to
arrest the progress of the flames. The
theatre building, cathedral, city banks and
telegraph Office escaped, but the former was
badly damaged. The heavens were illu-
minated for miles.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR 1sez.


| The present condition Of Continental
Europe is one Of peace, and the prepare
/ tons for the exhibition Of France, the ap.
/ preaching meeting of the Prussian Pariia-
I NJ mt, the compliments bestowed by Victor
I 4 nmanuel upon his Deputies, and the con
/ eession made by the Kaiser 10 his people,
would seem to promise the world a long
repose from war; but the kilograms con-
stantly announcing the addition to fortif-
cations on the Rhine and the reorganiza-
ton Of European armies, are sufficient 70
dispel the hopes of the lovers of tan
guilty.
The brilliant Prussian campaign Of lat
summer wounded the military pride OF
France, and the people as well as the army
Of the Empire were eager to humiliate the
foe, so often defeated by their ancestors.
The Mexican imbroglio, the precarious
health of the Emperor, and the peace foot
ing Of his troops, were sufficient reasons for
Napoleon TO remain at peace, and since
the MoaitsT informs US that his time is
occupied in the reorganization of the
French forces.
Italy Is devOting her energies to the sup
preston Of her domestic enemies, and
Victor Emmanuel, whose policy is dictated
by the Caesar Of the Seine, will be prepared
and willing to enter into a war which will
add the Tyrol (given to him by Austria in
exchange for Prussian province) to his
kingdom.
Austria, whose ruler is DESTROYS of aveng-
ing the defeats he ilss sustained, has gained
a wonderful accession of strength in the
pacifcation Of the Hungarians, a people
among the most warlike in Europe, and in
the reorganization of her armies.
Prussia, although enlarged in territory,
cannot rely upon her new subjects, who,
Disconnected to-day, may become rebelliOns
in the future, and Bismark will meet a
Parliament representing many diverse in
terests, whose members distrust the willy
Premier, and will scrutinize his actions
with more vigilance now that the excite
ment ef war has passed away.
1t is not, therefore, improbable, that
some Of the journals of Europe are correct
in their prediction, that before the close Of
the coming year war will rage on the Con-
tinent. In such contest will be France,
Austria and Italy, upon the one side,
against Prussia, who might be assisted by
the Gar, did that Potentate not fear that
his design on Constantinople would excite
the interference of England. One fact is
assured, that if the war is inaugurated the
million and half of French soldiers, the
troops Of Italy, and the legions of Austria,
will give NJ. Bismark more trouble than
was oecasioned him by Proclamation"

ALEX. II. STEPHENS GRAPHIC
SKETCH OF HIS HOME AND PR
VATE SURROUNDINGS


The forthcoming work of Henry Cleve-
land furnishes the following description of
Mr.. Stephens private room at his home in
Crawfordville:
The inner room 10 the sanctum sacturum.
If a visitor comes In winter, a light tap is
given on the door, a quick, but pleasant
voice says "come in" and turning the top
mob Of the door gives admittance. All is
open in summer there is a pretty carpet
Of green flowers low French bedstead,
draped in white. The walls too are white.
There is a bureau and mirror cot-bed for
waiting boy, Tim; washstand and toilet
furniture. Over the mantle, Brady's i'm
perial photograph, taken in 1855. 1t is
fanked on the right by the picture of
Faith at the Cross given while at Fort
Warren, by a much valued lady friend; ;
on the left by an embroidered watch stand
and a pair Of lamps; then a book case
with broken glass, aid bundles of paper in
great seeming disorder. The disorder is
not 50 great but the owner can find what he
wishes, and before the confusion incident to
the late war, no statesman kept such per-
feet order among so many varioue papers.
There is a little round top writing table,
with eyelet press, and papers and scraps
More papers and scraps are in the little
table drawer, and the mind of the owner is
the index 20 them all If they are not dis
turbed. That annoys MIN greatly. His
old Office and another library are at the
courthouse, but he seldom goes to it.
On the worsted hearth-rug of this room
in winter, and on the grass of the yard in
summer, lounges a huge Brown mastiff'
named Troup. Near this larger specimen
Of the canine species is usually TO be seen a
little black terrier, with a chronic growl; he
is called Frank. A restless yellow pup
sometimes intrudes, but is generally sent
away with the proper rebuke from his
grave seniors. He bears the appropriate
name Of Sir Bingo Binks, one Of the cha
racters in Walter SCOTS "St. Romans
Well"
Rio (called Reo,) the famous poodle dog,
the fayorite pet and companion Of the
statesman for years, both at home and
abroad, has had since 1868 a dreamless
sleep In the garden. The red clay mound
that marks the spot of his burial still
awaits the tablet for which an appropriate
epitsph was once written:
