o'clock ON the morning OF the 18th, and many
lives and much property were Destroyed. Men
and women. barefooted and nearly naked, fled
into the snow covered streets. The steam en-
gincs were promptly on hand. but the water
being frozen, IL was some time before any could
be thrown upon the building. The weather was
so intensely cold that the Telegraph wires In
front Of the burning buildings were covered
with Ice and the Are steamers were encssed In
Ice an inch thick. In twenty minutes the flames
spread 10 such an extent that the escape by the
staircase Was cut off. The guests then began by
leaping from the windows. The steward Of the
hotel lespcd from the third story, receiving IA

The guests lost all their clothing and the ladies

Of shelter. ." . - .UU
The most fearful scene Of the disaster was the
appearance Of Mrs. Emily Kennearly at q win
dow in the ffth story, with one or two other
ladies', screaming for help. The ladders failed
to roach the windows, and while the tircmen
were cndcavoring TO lengthen them the crying
women disappcarci and were lost, the room
lighting up moment after with the flames.
One incident Of the 6rc was man appearing
at one Of the upper windows, paralyIcd BY FEAR,

throwing them out of the window I'LL he fell
back iLto tse flames.
Among those known TO have been burned are

The success Of the Indiana democracy
at the late election, has brought the
name Of our favorite stateman more
prominently forward for the presidency
In 1872, than was the case previouslv.
Though he received the highest vote in
the New York convention, In 1858, for
the presidential nomination, except that
cast for Gov. Seymour, ont he last ballot,
and was certain to be pressed earnestly
|at the next democratic national conven.
tion BY his own state, the fact that Indi-
ana has broken the bands that united
the great west solidly to the radical par
ty, will, in our next convention, give the
name Of Mr.. Hendricks weight before
the delegates Of the nation that It did
not before posses. He is the coming
man. We doubt whether there will be
q serious opposition organized against
him in any Of the western or south
western states.
With firm determination to have the
power of the mighty west heard and felt
In the next national democratic conyen.
tion, let US all, men of Indiana, with
one accord, stand lock-kneed together
for Hendricks and Victory in 1879.

A Good Joke.

A New Orleans householder, disturb
ed by an aged darkey who each day
seated himself on his porch and went to
sleep in the sun, with uptnrned head,
open mouth, and prodigious snorc, con-
cluded she would try an experiment.
For this purpose she procured small
piece Of ice and dropped it into the huge
0rifice that served rs Sambo's mouth.
It disappeared like shot, and with a
bough and snort, Sambo started to his
feet. "Ugh!" he cried, as the ice sent
violent thrills through his stomach
"What dis 2" and his fingers clutched
nervously the afflicted parts. just then
some one cried out in the house that q
big rat had run down "Unclc Sans"
throat. This added terror to his pain.
He rolled on the banquettc and cried
Justify for help. "Forc God missus, he's
gnawing out'n me. / feels him. Oh,
golly, he'll kill me-" and the whites Of
the darkey's eyes proturded like saucers,
aud the cohvulsed and anguished face
showed that real pain was strongly en-
HANGED by his imaginary terror. "Oh,
go(ly, how he do jump and kick about"
and 6amb0 again gave himself up to o
paroxysm Of lamentations. "Drink
warm water, Uncle Sam, and drown
him." the. lady suggested. Without .
moments hesitation, Sam started for the
water plug. He turned on the crank
and the water started. Sam glued his
lips TO the nozzle until his sides were
puffed ont like an inflated balloon.-
"How do you feel now, Uncle Sam p
the lady inquired, as Sam started back to
his seat. ~ guess hos drowned, missus /;
but here's what's troubling dis chile /:

The November EIections.

Most of the elections i'm the United
States now take place in November, on
the day upon which the Presidential
elections fall. The States which do not
vote In November are obliged, every
fourth year, to have two elections, one
for State officers and congressman, and
the other for Presidential Electors
There is great convenience in doing II
all on one day. The States which are
soon to vote are as follows:
November 7-being the first Monday
of the month-Arkansas and Louisiana.
November being the first Tuesday
after the first Monday Alabama, Flori-
da, illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massa.
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri.
Nevada, New York, New Jersey and
Wisconsin.
In oil these States Congressmcn and
in Legislators are elected, and some of
them Governors, as well as State officers.
