Destructive Fire in BangOr-Tho Busi-

Special Despatch 10 The EUe,sin0 Telegraph
BANGOR, Me-, Jan 1-Evening.-A fire broke
out here this evening on Broad street. which
soon developed into a conhsgration, despite the
efforts of the 6remen, and at the present writing
1t is raging furlously. 1t would seem that
nothing could prevent its becoming the most
destructive fire which ever visited Bangor.
Broad street, being located on the west side of
the Kenduskeaug stream and parallel with
the Penobscot, is mostly occupied with provi-
sion and grocery stores, wholesale and retail,
vessels being able to load and unload from the
wharves in their rear.
Already the stores of F. I. harrington, and
Fogg d Bridges hardware and the grocery and
provision stores occupied by G. G. Pickering, G.
W. Ladd Connor Fuller, and Emery, Wing &
Co., are destroyed. Charles Hayward & Co.'s
establishment is almost goue. In all proba-
bihty one side of Main street, on which are
located the dry goods, millinery, iewelry, and
fancy goods stores, will be in ruins by to morrow
morning and the fire threatens to sweep the
whole of Broad street. Assistance has been sent
from Old Town and Orono. Many Of the sur
rounding towns have already sent all of their
fire departments that could be spared.
The fremen are working hard, but high
wind prevails, and it is almost impossible to
check the progress Of the flames in any direc.
ton. The wind is westerly, drawing through
| Broad street. The weather Is cloudy with the
appearance of storm.

Boston, Jan. "A fire broke out last evening
In Bangor, Me-, about o'clock. Shortly after
wards telegraphic communication by both In
ternational and Western Union lines suddenly
ceased, and no particulars of the extent of the
| fire could be ascertained. This morning a tele-
gram from Harnden, a small village few miles
south of that place, announces the almost entire
destruction of the business portion of the place,
together with both telegraph offices. Further
particulars are expected soon.

THE PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA.

Every wear caravan leaves Cairo
for Mecca and Medina This pilgrim
age every devout Moslem ought to per-
form once at least during his lifetime
and having performed it, every Moslem,
devout OF otherwise, lets it be known,
in his dress, in the decorations of his
house, and particularly in his air and
manner and bearing 1t may be spirit
ual pride, or it may be only the re-
mains of the devotion inspired by the
sight of the holy places; but certain it
is that the Hadii who has performed
the pilgrimage is wonderfully like unco'
guide in Scotland or our own land, who
holds such pilgrimage in adherence.
Thousands set out on this pilgrim
age, from Morocco and Fee ON the
west, to Calcutta and Singapore on the
cast, all vending their way to Mecca !;
and of these thousands only few hum
dreds return Cholera. fever, want, cx-
posure the sun by day, and the dew
and the moon by night, destroy the
pilgrims in great numbers, both going
and returning. How great the eqani-
nifty with which we can bear the woes
of others! This moral truism is par
ticularly true of the pilgrims to Mecca.
Arabs, Moors, Egyptians, Persians,
Turks, Atlghans, Patans, and Moslcm
Malavs see their brethren de on the
long, long pilgrimage with profound
cquanimity. The sufferers are not to
he piticd They go direct to Paradise.
They are to be envicd rather 1t is an
article of their creed, taught by the
Koran itself, that pilgrims dying on
this pilgrimage are received direct into
heaven by the beautiful houris. who are
waiting for them with outstretched arms.
There the air is all pcrfumed; the
rivers are of milk and wine and of all
the most exquisite descriptions of
nectar; the birds and the plants are
more beautiful than anything on earth ;
and the hours, lovelicst maids, are
waiting for them. Such is the Moslcm
idea of Paradise; and to this Paradise
the poor pilgrim, dying ENRoUTE, goes
at once. Where, then, is the cause for
lamentation
But many can't go to Mecca. They
send pesents there instead-prescnts
intended to ornament the tomb of the
Prophet, or to assist in its preservation
and maintenance.

The Detroit Post SAYS that the small
pox is now very prevalent and very
virulent in the Western cities. A hum
dred deaths day have been reported
in Cincinnatti; it is declared to be an
epidemic in st. Louis it is scourging
Chicago though nothing is said about
it in the newspapers ; and in Milwau-
kie the public schools and the rink have
been closed in consequence, and the
shutting up of the theatres, concert
saloons, and other places where people
congregatc, has been discussed.
A letter from Aspin Hill, Tennessee
says there has scarcely been night
for six months that the kukluX have
not gone somewhere in the neighbour
hood and taken out and hung or shot
or whipped some one either white or
black, and have succeeded in causing
such state of terror that all the blacks
and every white Republican scarcely
dare speak of them, who say they
always punish men for talking, and the
citizens all wink at it from fear. But
the loyal men are armed, and are, ac-
cording to these letters, determined to
assert their rights.
Letters have been received by other
mtmbcre of Congress, showing the fear
existing in the Southwest from the
Kuklux movements, and appealing for
remedy to prevent future disturb
ances.

THE OLD BARN.

No hay within it's widespread mows,
No horse within the stalls,
No broad-horned oxen, sheep or COWS,
Within its time-worn walls.
The wind howls through its shattered DOORS
Now swinging to, and fro;
And DER its once frequented floors
No footsteps come OF go.
Oh once alas each vacant bay,
And every space around,
Was teeminG with swect-scented hay,
The harvest of the ground.
The well-fed cattle in row,
At manger ranged along,
Each fastened by an oaken bow,
Stood at the stanchions strong.
But where so long old Dobbin stood,
His masters pride and care,
And from his hand received his food,
All now is vacant there.
Then these broad fields, from hill to plain,
Waved in the summer air,
With choicest crops of grass, or grain,
Now left SO bleak, and bare.
How sweet the music of the fail,
Resembling, far, and clear,
AS borne upon the passing gale,
1t reached the distant ear.
The black-bird hailed the dewy morn,
From out his rushy perch,
The sparrow sang upon the thorn,
The cat-bird on the birch.
The robin from the highest tree
Sent forth his whistle clear,
His soul partaking of the glee,
That wakes the vernal year.
And childhoods merry shout was heard,
The farm-yard choir among,
Which, mingled with the notes of bird,
Enriched the tide of song.
The master on his daily round,
With conscious pride would go,
His faithful dog close by him found,
Attending to, and fro.
Old honest "Trip" long since has gone,
And moulders meath the wall;
No more he takes the welcome bone,
Or hears his masters call.
The kindly master too has died,
The matron i'll her grace,
And dead, or scattered far and wide,
The remnant of their race.
But peace, and blessings, on the past,
The poet now would say;
Our joy cannot forever last.
Nor sorrow ever stay.

ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE MULE.

The mule seems to have been used
by the ancients in a great variety of
ways; but what should have prompted
his production must for ever remain q
mystery. That they early discovered
his great usefulness in making long
journeys, climbing mountains, and cross
ing deserts of burning sand, when sub
sistence and water were scarce, and
horses would have persisted is well cs-
tablished That he could soon recover
from the severe effects of these long
and trying journeys must also have
been of great value in their eyes. But
however much they valued him for his
usefulness, they seem not to have had
the slightest veneration for him, as they
had for some other animals | am led
to believe, then, that it was his great
usefulness in crossing the sandy deserts
that led to his production. 1t is a
proof, also, that where the ass was at
hand there also was the horse, or the
mule could not have been produced
Any people with sufficient knowledge
to produce the mule would also have
had sufficient knowledge to discover
the difference between him and the
horse, and would have given the pre-
terrence to the horse in all service ex-
ccpt that | have just described. And
vet in theearly history of the world, we
find men of rank, and even rulers, using
them on state and similar occa-
sions and this when it might have
been supposed that the horse, being
the nobler animal, would have made
more display.
The Scriptures tell US that Absalom,
when he led the rebel hosts against his
father David, rode on mule, that he
rode under an oak, and hung himself
by the hair of his head Then, again,
we hear of the mule at the Inaugural
ton of King Solomon. 1t is but reason
able to suppose that the horse would
have been used on that great occasion,
had he been present On the other
hand, it is not reasonable to suppose
that the ass, or anything pertaining to
him, was held in high esteem by a ma
ton that believed they were command
ed by God, through their prophet
Moses, not to work the OK and the ass
together 1t must be inferred from
this that the ass was not held in very
high esteem, and that the prohibition
was not for the purpose of not degrad-
ing the OK, he being of that family of
which the perfect males were used for
sacrafice. The ass, of course, was
never allowed to appear on the sacred
altar. And yet He who came to save
our fallen race, and open the gates of
heaven, and fulfil the words of the
prophet, rode a female of this apparently
degraded race of animals when He
made his triumphal march into the city
of the temple of the living God.

a THOUGHT FOR BUSINESS MEN.-An
exchange says: There are two ways of
doing thing a right way and wrong
way. For want of judgment or persc-
verance some modes of advertising are
nearly as bad as none. But it may be
laid down as a rule that money spent
in judicious advertising by business
men, invariably yields, sooner or later,
four-fold, and sometimes one hundred
fold. Some advertise for short time
after they commence business, and think
it sufficient others neglect advertising
after they have established perhaps
a fourishing business. This is mis-
take. The changes are so rapid in the
country, and the public mind is so con-
stantly occupied by the new applicants
Of its favor, that to be cut of the papers,
where everybody seeks for information,
is to be forgotten. The newspaper is
daily more and more becoming neces-
sity as an advertising medium. No
man is wise who undertakes to do bus
mess without awaiting himself of its
advantages.
