4 E}0PrjJEc Scene.

Tne destruction OF one hundred and
forty horses at the fire On Twenty-third
Street, New York, on the 31st ult., is
thus described in the Sim:
con Wednesday night there were
stabbed in the basement, as nearly as can
be learned, about ninety horses, ard on
the second floor ab ut fifty: About il
o'clock, gentleman passing along 9th
street, in the rear of the stables. discov-
cred vast volumes of smoke issuing from
the basement .JindoWs. He quickly
raised the alarm of fire, and notified the
police, who hastcned to the front of the
building, finding the situation as des-
cribed above. On going to the base
ment, that department was 'ound to be
filled with smoke, and the animals con-
fined there in 4 great state Of excite
ment and terror but no fire could be
seen, although the smoke was so thick
and sullOcating as to drive back the first
VcnturcSOmc cXpl, rcrs. The wild snort
ing of The animals, their shrll creams
of distress, and the plaintive W hinny
ings, pleading for help, to which they
gave constant uttcrance, awakened a
sympathy in the breasts of the lockers
on that commanded still more vigorous
efforts for the relief Of the poor beasts.
| Again two or three men Vcnturcd to en-
ter the dark Basement, and after crop
! ing about few minutes in the smoke,
succeeded each in getting hold of Il
horse, and with difficulty leading il TO
the entrance and forcing it out. On re-
turning, two more horses were secured.
but after endeavoring in vain to get
them to the door, until their humane
| friends were nearly overcome with SUI
| location, the animals were abandoned
TO their fate, and attention was turned
TO the removal of the carriages on the
first floor, many of which were roll
cd out and s! cured. Meantime the
frantic prancing and piteous outcries OF
the animals in the basement had about
ceased, the dense smoke having ended
their spflerings more mercifully tn IN
the lighter but more tardy flames.
When the smothered, subdued fire in
the basement burst into flame, ii seemed
instantly to fill the entire building,
feeding upon the ny inflammable mate
lial that WAS 50 oil ntiful in its course,
jumping With lightning-like rapidty
from floor 10 floor, laughing at al eff
forts to stay its mad career, and driving
with pr4cipitate haste, all human beings
from its immediate vicinity. Then
arose the second and more painful and
Notwithstanding scene on the ground
floor, where were fifty more hOrses-the
choice of the stables-high bred, ari,to-
cratic horses, whose value, in some in
stances, was computed by thousands of
dollars; elegant carriage horses, used to
the smooth, wcll-kept roads Of The Cen
tral Park; gentlemen's 81 idle horses,
familiar only with the gentlcst exercise,
and few less select hack horses. But
the fury OF the flames recognized no diff
ference in these condemned animals
which, indeed, were only reserved for
more horrible death than thir pleheian
friends who were smothered in the base
ment. And rs the flames flew along
from stall to stall, catching on the hay

dashing away to another equally bright

WHAT PRODUCES CoRNs.-A shoe
maker thus writes upon the subject of
corns in the Shoe d Leather Report
cr:
1t has been generally considered that
tight boots wete the great cause of all
the cOrns and bunions with which the
feet have ben tormented, and tie hi
boots have accordingly been cursed from
toe to heel for their miscellaneous quail
ties in this respect.
Though ii is true that the Unnecessary
tightncss of boots is q principal source
corns, there are others that may not be
overlooked. Loose boots that allow the
heel to slip up or down, or the whole
foot to slide forward at every step, are
effective i'll the production of these an
noyances. Hard, stiff leather Is another
quite efficient thing in this way ,wheth-
or the boot be tight or loose makes not
much difference, if it he stiff ard hard.
Large wrinkles over the Joint may
sometimes have an effect of the same
kind, esl ccialiy if the leather is no soft
or than ought to be. The drawing to-
gcthe. of the toes. by boots and shoes
that are narrow at this point, forcing The
toes to crowd against each Ctner, and
pushing out t great toe pint, is one of
most productive of all causes. When
occurring upon the bottom of the foot, a
peg or some hard projection of the insole

they must be attributed.
