ings at the sides aud on the street opposite

TnE coyFLAGRAr
The appearance was grand in the cx>
treme. The fierce flames lcaped up high in
air. lighting ap the whole horizon with n
ruddy glare, and cleaning upon thousands
ot uptarned anxious faces, while clouds of
smoke and cinders sailed Ike torrent Of
lava over the city. Luckily the night was
calm, for, had high wiud been raging the
flames woald have swept the whole square.
At one time, when the FIRE was ut its height,
it seemed AS though the noble brick build
ings upon the other side Of the street must
fall sacrifice, W, F. Large, Duncan u
Chris,man and Glover 4 Smock suffered
seserely-the windows being broken in and
the door casings and awnings badly scorch-
ed. The beard sign over W. l.. Large $
store caught fire twice anl blased up iercely,
but the flames were at last subdued.
The upper stories Of the buildings de>
stro,ed were generally occupied BY families,
many of whom succeeded in saving ahso>
lutely nothing. The rain is complete and
total.
EXTENT OF rng LOSS.
The extent of the less cannot fall far
short, including buildings, stock and furni>
tnre, ot fifty thousand dollars. Fuller par.

criGIS OF THE FIRE.
At the date OF the present writing, A.
~, it is impossible 10 obtain full and ac.
curate particulars in regard to the origin Of
the Ere. II was first diseerned at eleven
clock T.. NJ, in the cl.thing store Of James
kabot, aud in an incredibly short space of
time the whole interior Of the establishment
was nothing but glowing furnace, the
flames seeming to spring up spontaneously.
The alarm was at once giyen, and in short
time the gallant fremen with their engines
we're on the ground. The scarcity OF wa,
ter was felt severely, and before d stream
could be brought TO bear upon the flames,
they were under full headway. The steam>
er J. X. Graves took water at the Custom
House cistcrns, throwing two streams, and
the other engines disposed of themselves in
every available locality. but at first it seem
ed that their efforts were futile to check the
devouring element.
From Kabots store the flames spread TO
the one adjoining. owned by n. Heinnei-
mer, who kept 9 notion establishment,
etc. next the tobacco aud cigar shop Of
Henry Hume, then the family grocery store
! Of Hugh Smith and the O'Maly Saloon. All
these buildings we're of frame, standing in a
row, and fell an easy prey. The next build
ing was of brick, occupied as boot and
shoe store by John Schmidt. This building
adjoined the grocery 1ore Of James Retal>
lick. At this point the famcs were checked
although the establishment Of the latter is

SHIP OWNERS and othe RS interested in navi-
cation will be gratified to learn that the bill for
the repeal of the 9Th Section, Act 1892, !" con-
corning the registering and recording ships
and vessels" introduced into the House of
Representatives, by the Hon. John Lynch,
member of Congress from the LIST District, and
passed in that body several days since, has now
passed.the Senate, as we learn by private tele-
gram from Washington. .,,.t I.-- .......
The section repealed is, in substance, that in
case there be more than one owner resident
within the United States. it will be requisite
Tor each of them to transmit to the Collector,
within ninety days after his g anting certif-
cate of registry, like oath or affirmation,
the District &C., and further 8" if such oath.
&C.. shall not be taken, subscribed and trans
mitted, as herein required, tie certificate of
registry. granted to such ship or vessel, shall
be forfeit and void" .-.f.f.. .... ..g..r .r
We believe this repeating Act does not ex-
onerate those already notified of their owner
ship in vessels registered or enrolled prior to
its passage, from remittihg their oath as re-
quired by the act in force at the time their pa
pers were issued. ..L ..s..
Mr.. Lynch, our Representative, ever on the
alert for the interests of his constituents.
learning of the annoyance which the
enforcement of this act occasioned the
merchants, promptly introduced bill
for the repeal of the obnoxious section,
which has now passed both branches of Con-
gress and only awaits the signature of the
President to become law. - .'oa e~- 7-.

b UNMrrIGATED TwADDLE.-If the maudln
idiocy of the following campaign dispatch to
the Boston Post of yesterday can be matched
we should like to see it done. The Demo-
Gratis will be partially sick of their white
man's government" movement before the
summer is over:
A soldier OF the Twelfth Infantry, now sta
toned in this city, was omplaining very Bit
terry to-day because he had been deprived of
his vote by the Radical party. He said his
poor old woman, who had handled him on her
knee, would be sorely grieved to learn that
her boy had shed his blood only that lazy ne
groes might be elevated above him. He then
commenced criticising Grant as General
when a comrade interrupted, But, friend
Grant whipped Lee" Faith and he did, was
the reply, ''uuder the inspiring song of"We're
coming Father Abraham, with three hundred
thousand more" adding, "My father told me
when / was a boy that a swarm of bees could
kill horse" Silence reigned in Warsaw.

LA BELLE HELENE.-Shades of Homer and
Virgil! Heaven grant that when you ap-
preached the Styx you had the needful obolus,
and that it was legal tender with Charon; so
will your majestic spirits, wandering on this
side of the dark river, never be vexed by be-
holding the strange guise in which profane
moderns present the great personages Of your
divine epics-never see Menelaus beneath an
umbrella, encountered with valise, or Helen
in impossible vestments wooed by Paris who
is of the French capital rather than of Troy
Columns would not tell of all the humor of La
Belle Helene as rendered by Bateman's Opera
troupe 1t was received by the somewhat lin
tied audience last evening with even more
demonstrations of delight than La Grande
Duchesse received on Monday night. The
whole piece was carried through with the ut
most fidelity and spirit, and several parts were
voclerously encored. The songs Au Mont Ida,
by NJ Guffroy and I'm Mari Sage, by Mile
Tostee, were especially commended, the latter
being twice repeated with the utmost good ma
ture. At the close of the performance Tostee
was called before the curtain and received tit
ting acknowledgment of the pleasure which
her efforts have given to the people of Portland.
SO far as the gentlemen who initiated and
. carried through the enterprise of bringing
Bateman's Company to Portland and the per-
formances themselves are concerned, nothing
was ommitted that was necessary to make the
Opera Bouffe success. But there seems to
have been general apathy" among the peo-
pie in regard to the entertainment which was
procured at the expense of so much effort and
money, that will materially lessen the pleasure
of remembering it.

STEVENS New IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES
The New York Tribune's Washington dispatch
says Mr.. Stevens has prepared four new arti-
cles of impeachment against Mr.. johnson
which he will present to the House. The first
article charges the President with instituting
provisional governments in the South without
the consent of Congress. Second, with usur-
patton of the pardoning power. Third, with
using corruptly his patronage to obstruct the
laws of Congress in the Southern States; and
fourth, with using corruptly his patronage TO
effect the result of elections in different States
within three years past. Mr.. Stevens has no
hopes of having his articles entertained this
session. He has prepared an elaborate speech
which he will deliver in their support 1t will
be seen that the articles embrace matters al
most entirely new, only referring incidentally
to topics covered by the articles already tried.
Whether their presentation will effect any
thing further than giving Mr.. Stevens an OPP
portunity to make his speech remains to be
seen. l--. -
